Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1636, sad Tianzhu people

Here is a small city in Ningguo, Tianzhu.

At this moment, it happened to coincide with the annual sacrificial ceremony, and everyone in the entire small town came to the river to build a luxurious sacrificial altar here, preparing tributes for the sacrificial ceremony, and at the same time, every household also prepared gold and silver belongings. Prepare to dedicate it to the local lord—Xiong Lan!
Accompanied by the melody played by erhu and suona from Daming, Xiong Lan, dressed in luxurious clothes, stepped on the red carpet and came to the river step by step.

As Xiong Lan moved forward, everyone except the Han people knelt down to the ground one after another. The ones closest to the red carpet were of course the Brahmins and Kshatriyas, followed by the Vekas and Sudras. On the outskirts were slaves and untouchables.

On the sacrificial altar, there are many Han people sitting. All of these Han people migrated to Ningguo and were rewarded by Ningguo in this small city.

Xiong Lan is a scholar and an official of Ningguo, so the annual sacrificial activities are supported by Xiong Lan.

What he needs to do is also very simple,
That is to write a sacrificial oration on the spot to pray for good weather and good harvests, and then read it aloud to everyone, and then put it on the sacrificial altar to burn, so as to express appeals to the gods.

This event is very sacred and solemn, and it is also the most important festival of the year.

In order to rule this vast continent and the huge population here, Ningguo improved the original caste system and placed the Han people in the highest caste, calling them the descendants of gods, with the most honorable status. As for the other castes, all are the highest. The descendants of the gods of the caste serve.

This new caste system was strongly opposed by Brahmins and Kshatriyas at first, but Ningguo's butcher knife didn't talk much to them.

After a lot of killing, all the Brahmins and Kshatriyas had to accept this fact, and they had to brainwash themselves to maintain it all.

In order to consolidate this system, Ningguo has also formulated a detailed caste law to establish this system legally, and at the same time, it has also carried out wanton revisions in religion to confirm the identity and status of Daming people in religion.

In the original Hinduism, Brahmin was in charge of sacrifices and the spokesperson of God, while Kshatriya was in charge of military affairs and had the most lofty status. But now, Brahmin is a servant and steward who serves the people of God, and Kshatriya is a Those who have entered the main yamen servants, officialdom, petty officials and the like in Ningguo are not allowed to be officials.

As for the Vedas and Sudras, they are still engaged in agriculture and labor. Slaves and untouchables are naturally at the bottom, unable to own their own land and property, and are the most humble existence.

However, in order to ease the contradictions in the caste system and slavery, Ningguo also made some changes accordingly, slightly allowing caste changes.

It is also possible for a low caste to become a high caste, but the conditions are very, very difficult. In addition to suffering and suffering in this life and reincarnating into a high caste family in the next life, you can also learn the language and characters of Ming Dynasty through suffering and suffering for several generations. And so on, to increase your caste accordingly.

As for slaves, in addition to reincarnation in the next life, as long as they can make great contributions to King Ning in this life or live to be sixty years old, they can also become Sudras.

This caste system is extremely complicated, and its core is to consolidate the status and rule of the Ming people here.

For this reason, Ningguo has also created some special festivals, through specific festivals to hold sacrifices and other activities, constantly erecting this concept to everyone, and deepening the caste system into it.

As a distinguished guest invited by Xiong Lan, Da Vinci also sat beside the sacrificial altar.

He looked at the black crowd kneeling on the ground in front of him, the number was very huge, there were tens of thousands of people, and almost the entire river bank was crowded.

"Poor Indian!"

"Since ancient times, they have been constantly conquered and surrendered to a nation with a powerful tribe and civilization that created a brilliant Indian civilization, but now it has become the most humble existence, a pariah!"

Da Vinci couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It has been a while since he came to Tianzhu. During this time, he has studied art, culture, mathematics and so on in Tianzhu in detail.

He was surprised to find that the civilization on the Tianzhu side is very brilliant and brilliant. In history, many brilliant civilizations and countries were born on this vast land.

The Tianzhu people have made profound achievements in religion, mathematics, philosophy, astronomy and cosmology, especially in the field of ideological philosophy and cosmology, which Da Vinci was also deeply amazed at.

However, now, such a nation that once created a brilliant civilization, they are untouchables. Although there are a large number, they can only kneel on the outermost periphery, and they are not even qualified to be close to the sacrificial altar.

Even now, these untouchables, they don't even have the qualifications to study, they are all ignorant and ignorant, thinking about it makes one can't help but sigh.

Going back to the source to understand the history and culture of Tianzhu, everything is caused by the caste system in front of you.

The Aryans invaded Tianzhu with a small number of people. In order to consolidate their rule, the Aryans invented the caste system, and combined with religion, they deeply imprinted it on this ancient continent.

After thousands of years, the caste system has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, affecting everything here.

People firmly believe in this, and they don't even have a trace of doubt. They believe that the difficulties in this life must be endured. Only when they suffer in this life can they be reborn in a high-caste family to enjoy it in the next life.

They also firmly believe that the reason why high caste people can enjoy everything now is because they have experienced countless difficulties in the previous life, so they can enjoy the enjoyment in this life.

Therefore, people of high school sex should enjoy it, and should have no worries about food and clothing. The lower caste should naturally serve the people of the higher caste, work for them, and suffer all kinds of hardships, so that they can become a higher caste in the next life.

What an absurd theory this is, but it is the supreme truth on this continent.

Even Daming people can't violate the caste system, they can only improve it, elevate the status of Daming people to the highest level, and continue to play with this caste system.

Da Vinci was thinking, lamenting for these Indians.

Here, Xiong Lan came to the sacrificial altar, and had already prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Xiong Lan splashed ink and wrote a sacrificial article eloquently, and then read it aloud to everyone. After reading aloud, he sent it to the bronze cauldron on the sacrificial altar and burned it.

Obviously, these are all sacrificial elements from Daming, perfectly carried over.

It is completely different from the traditional Brahman sacrifices, and it was also specially done by Ningguo, in order to highlight the dignity of the Daming people.

Brahmins now have no right to speak on behalf of God, nor have the right to preside over sacrificial activities. They are only the servants and stewards of the Ming people. The matters related to the sacrificial activities are prepared by the Brahmins. The matters related to the caste system and gods are also replaced by the Brahmins. Everyone preached, but the content was written by the people of Ming Dynasty.

After the sacrifice, it’s time to offer treasures. Starting from Brahmins and Kshatriyas, everyone lined up to contribute their treasures to the gods according to the level of the caste system.

The more you contribute, the more pious you are, and the more disciplined you will be to reincarnate into a higher caste in your next life after going through hardships.

As for the Daming people on the stage, they don't have to do anything, they just need to wait, and wait for the final acceptance of everyone's offerings on behalf of the gods.

This is the caste system in Ningguo now. The Ming people in the highest caste live the life of a master, and they are noble existences. Not even anyone is qualified to kiss the feet of a Daming person, only the Brahmin Kshatriya. Talent is qualified.

"Ideological imprisonment is the most terrible imprisonment!"

"Just like the medieval church imprisoned people's thoughts and concepts, the long years have been dark and there is no light!"

"The same is true in Tianzhu now. Under the caste system, there is darkness here. The literature, philosophy, art, etc. left in the past will lose their own color, and the inheritance will be cut off. It is really sad, lamentable, and pity!"

Da Vinci watched the scene in front of him silently, and couldn't stop sighing in his heart.

He is one of the three masters of the Renaissance. He paid special attention to the emancipation of the mind and the value of people. He was human-centered instead of God-centered. He advocated the liberation of individuality and opposed ignorant theological thoughts.

Seeing the ignorant scene in front of him, he really felt sad for the Tianzhu people.
