Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1593, How would you choose?

At Brown's home in the small town of Safati, Brown and Simon chatted about Ningguo's affairs while drinking tea.

"It's really a strange nation that doesn't believe in religion and has faith."

Simon took a sip of the tea. The more he drank the tea, the more flavorful it became. It was a bit bitter in the mouth, but soon a burst of sweetness filled the tip of the tongue, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

"In fact, people in Ming Dynasty also believe in religion, but most of them believe in Buddhism and Taoism. Buddhism originated in Tianzhu, and Taoism is a religion born in Ming Dynasty."

"Different from Europe, the Middle East, and our Jews, they believe in many religious gods, and they have believed in princes and generals since ancient times. It means that princes and generals are not born, but can be achieved through their own efforts. "

"They believe that man can conquer nature!"

"Thank you for everything your ancestors have created for you, and thank God for your blessings and gifts."

Brown has been here for several years, and he has become quite clear about many things about Daming people. He even learned the language and characters of Daming, and fell in love with reading Daming's books.

"In fact, the Ming people are an extremely ancient and wise nation. Their history is splendid and their culture is dazzling. They have an extremely strong sense of pride and self-confidence."

"For non-Ming people, they often look down on them and call them barbarians."

"Recently, I've been studying the poems of the Ming people, but they are very beautiful. The beauty of the language makes people intoxicated and deeply impressed by it."

"This is a great nation!"

"It is also a great country. Their monarchs call it the Son of Heaven. The so-called Son of Heaven means the Son of Heaven. It means that God sent him to manage the people of Li and protect the people of Li."

"That's why most of the emperors in the past dynasties took it as their mission to benefit the people of the world. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty today, Emperor Hongzhi, loves the people like a son and is a sage king through the ages. That's why the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is today."

Brown is very talkative. After he really got to know Daming, he was deeply impressed by this great country and great nation.

It has been sunk several times in history and revived again, and dynasties have changed one after another. This great nation has also gone through hardships and vicissitudes, but it can always rise again and again, and always stands among the world's powerful nations.

"Compared to the Ming people, we Jews are equally hardworking and full of wisdom, but we lack the confidence and pride of the Ming people."

"Our country was destroyed by others. We have been wandering all over the world. We have not worked together to try our best to rebuild our country. The national cohesion is far inferior to that of the Ming people."

"Historically, they have repeatedly invaded by the northern foreign tribes and encountered major disasters, but there is always an invisible force that finally brings them together, rebuilds their own country, and becomes stronger again."

"What we always think about is continuous migration, from this country to another country, we are constantly scattered, more and more scattered, and the wealth we have created by relying on our own wisdom and hard work has always been People coveted it, and it was taken away time and time again.”

"This is the gap between us and the people of Daming."

Brown said a lot.

Knowing the history of the Ming people, he thought about the history of the Jews, why the Ming people were able to dominate the world and become the most powerful country in the world, while the Jews were like bereaved dogs wandering around the world.

Simon listened carefully.

Being able to be sent by the Jewish organization to Ningguo for inspection, Simon is obviously educated and has performed extremely well in all aspects.

He heard a lot from Brown's words, what is the difference between Daming people and Jews?

Why is there such a huge difference now?

"In addition, the people of Ming Dynasty are also very inclusive. They advocate the tolerance of all rivers and rivers, and tolerance is great~"

"So the Ming people can accept the integration of other foreign nations. Their culture is inclusive and extremely open. They are keen to spread their culture to all parts of the world."

"This kind of inclusive and inclusive spirit allows more and more ethnic groups around them to integrate into them, bringing them a steady stream of vitality. The integration of culture and ethnicity creates a dazzling civilization for this nation."

"In contrast to us, we have always adhered to the extremely conservative and xenophobic characteristics. Although such characteristics have allowed us to go through thousands of years of suffering, we have never forgotten our Jewish identity."

"But because of this, we have been rejected by other ethnic groups, because we are unwilling to integrate into the local ethnic groups and countries, so we will naturally be rejected by them. This is one of the reasons why we have been displaced for thousands of years."

"A strong nation and country should be inclusive and inclusive. Only in this way can it be truly strong."

"We Jews migrated to Ningguo. Ningguo is just a vassal state under the Ming Empire. King Ning is not the emperor, but the prince of the Ming royal family. Ningguo is just one of the many vassal states."

"But such a vassal state is stronger than any other country in Europe. Its annual tax revenue can exceed tens of millions of taels of silver, and it has tens of thousands of powerful troops."

"Ningguo has a vast territory and rules an extremely vast land. There are countless ethnic groups living in Ningguo. For all kinds of ethnicities, Ningguo also adopts an inclusive and inclusive attitude."

"Even if you are a slave, as long as you can make meritorious service, you can become a nobleman in Ningguo. In Chixia City, there are many people who were slaves before. Because they fought for King Ning, they made contributions and gained freedom. land and wealth."

"This is what the people of the Ming Dynasty believe in, the princes and generals Xiangning has a kind!"

"At the same time, Daming people treat all tribes living within the Ning Kingdom equally."

Brown highly admires the spirit and tolerance of the people of Ming Dynasty, and believes that this is one of the roots of the true strength of the people of Ming Dynasty.

"But, why did I hear in Chixia City that people in Ningguo are divided into three, six, and nine grades. The people of Ming Dynasty are the highest grade, and there are some Brahmins below."

"Is this also treating people equally?"

When Simon heard this, he immediately expressed his doubts.

"Well, there is indeed such a thing~"

"The caste system originated in the Tianzhu Continent. His Royal Highness King Ning started his business in the Tianzhu Continent at the beginning, and continued such a system in order to rule Tianzhu."

"But it has been improved to a certain extent!"

"On the Tianzhu continent, the original caste system is fixed. Whatever your caste is, you have been casted from generation to generation. No matter how many slaves you make and how much you pay, you will never be able to cross the class."

"But King Ning has made changes to this system. As long as certain conditions are met, one can be promoted from a low-level caste system to a high-level caste system. This is valid for every tribe and everyone."

Brown nodded back.

"What caste do we Jews belong to? What class?"

"And how to advance to a higher level?"

When Simon heard this, he immediately asked with concern.

"We Jews belong to the lowest class of Sudras!"

Brown said with a sigh.

"The lowest level Sudra?"

"How is this possible? With our incomparable diligence and wisdom, how can we be the highest-ranking Sudra?"

Simon couldn't accept it immediately.

He has always been proud and proud of being a Jew, but in Ningguo, they even regard the Jew as the lowest level of Sudra.

As far as Simon knows, the Sudra is considered the lowest level, and the slaves and untouchables below are not included in this system.

"Yes, we are the top. This is because of the agreement between us Jews and King Ning, so we are free citizens when we come to Ning, so we can be included in this caste system."

"If we were sold here as slaves, then we belonged to slaves, not even in the scope of the caste system, not even the Sudras."

Brown nodded back.

"If we want to be promoted to a higher caste, we must learn the language and characters of the Ming people comprehensively, and at the same time follow the customs and holidays of the Ming people."

"For example, if we can speak Daming dialect, write Daming characters, change Daming's surname, and choose a name, we can be promoted to bark."

"After being promoted to Vaka, we can be promoted to the Kshatriya level with the hard work and dedication of several generations, or if we make enough contributions to Ningguo."

"This caste is not fixed, but can be changed. As long as you continue to work hard, you can gradually improve."

"Even slaves can be freed and slowly promoted to Brahmins, but it is very, very difficult to be promoted to the highest level of Ming people, and it will take many generations of hard work."

"The people of Ming Dynasty advocate that Internet celebrities, princes, princes, generals, and relatives have a kindred, so the essence of this caste system is to motivate all tribes, families, and individuals to make contributions to this country, so that this country will become stronger and stronger, and your own caste It can also go higher and higher.”

"But if this happens, won't we gradually forget our Jewish identity, and in a few hundred years, there will be no Jews, only Daming people."

When Simon heard this, he immediately became anxious.

This is to learn the language and characters of Ming Dynasty, and to spend the holidays of Daming's family, etc. This generation is okay, but if there are a few generations to live, they will definitely forget everything before, and never forget it again. I won't remember that I am a Jew, but I will take it for granted that I am from Daming.

"Is not it good?"

Brown asked.

When Simon heard this, he was speechless.

Isn't it good to be a Daming person?

There is no doubt that it is obviously very good. The Ming people are extremely powerful, occupying the most land and wealth in the world, having the largest population, and being the most powerful country, sweeping across the world and sweeping Liuhe.

What about the Jews?

Now he is just a street mouse that everyone hates, wandering all over the world, without a country of his own, wandering around, and being bullied by others.

No matter how you look at it, it would be a good thing for the Jews if they could become Ming people.

At least in the future, I will never have to live such a life of wandering, and I will no longer be bullied by others.

However, the tradition that the Jews have insisted on for thousands of years made them extremely xenophobic. They huddled together and were still unable to integrate into the local country and nation.

"You mean we should take the initiative to blend in with the Daming people?"

Simon thought for a while and asked.

"Actually, I have the final say on whether to integrate or not, and history will slowly prove this point."

"We live a peaceful and peaceful life in this small town of Safati, but what about in the future?"

"After all, the land of this small town of Safati is limited. Our population is constantly increasing. After all, we will no longer be able to bear the growing population. After all, we will have contact with the outside world."

"The Ming people can give us a Safati town, but that doesn't mean they can give us a second or third Safati town."

"After all, this Ningguo is the Ningguo of their Ming people. We will either become Ming people, or we will be just like the Europeans. We are just passers-by here, and we still have to move to other places in the future."

Brown smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not up to us to integrate or not, but it depends on everyone's choice. If you want to continue, then stick to it. If you want to integrate, then work hard to integrate." .”

"Many people in our small town send their children to schools run by Daming people in a nearby town. They learn the language and characters of Daming people from an early age, and actively integrate into Daming people."

"I believe that you have been walking along the way, and you have also seen that in the entire Chixia City, almost everyone is trying to integrate into the Daming people, because everyone knows that actively integrating into Daming can gain many benefits, whether it is the improvement of caste, Or for a better life for yourself.”

"This is just Ningguo, a small vassal state under the command of the huge Ming Empire. Learning the language and characters of Ming Dynasty, familiar with the living customs and etiquette of Ming people, it is not only applicable to Ningguo, but also applicable to the whole country. Within the huge empire system."

"Look at this world map. This is the location of Ningguo in East Africa where we are located. All these areas belong to the huge system of the Ming Empire. As long as you can speak Ming dialect and recognize Ming characters, you can be in the Ming Dynasty. If it were you, how would you choose to move freely in such a huge area?"

Brown pointed to the world map hanging on the wall and said.

Simon looked at the huge map of the world. The entire huge world, almost all places were occupied by Ming people, Africa, Asia, Golden Continent, Australia, the huge territory of the Ming Empire is so vast, and on such a vast land, As long as you know how to speak Ming dialect and write Ming characters, you will be able to move freely, which is really unbelievable.
