Chen Xi had previously felt that the Brahmin thing was very attractive to the Han family. This conclusion was more or less based on comparing the inheritance systems of both sides from the lower reaches of history.
After all, the Brahmin system has been running for two to three thousand years. Even if it has undergone some repairs in the middle, it still exists openly in South Asia in the 21st century. Even as of 2024, the education department in India still controls
In the hands of Brahman.
As for the aristocratic families, they were plowed over and over again by the people of the Central Plains. The nobles and nobles were thrown into the grindstone and ground several times. After being squeezed into juice, few people said such things anymore. Even now, they are still
There is this surname and those people, but the power that was enough to shake the country is no longer there.
Without the ability to incite at the social level, we can only manipulate public opinion covertly. Without the protective umbrella built by more than a hundred middle- and upper-level bureaucrats of the same family at the same time, we can only rely on the inertia of the bureaucratic system. Compared with ordinary people, we can still
It is called a powerful family, but it is no longer a complete organization. Does it deserve to be called a family?
So Chen Xi thinks that the Han family will think that the Brahmin system is more stable and attractive, but what is the reality? In fact, for the current Han family, who is not a wealthy family for many generations, and the family with a longer inheritance than the Brahmin next door was not in the Han Dynasty
No!
Thousands of years of lineage, and there are still many of them these days! What is there to brag about about the stability of the Brahmin lineage?
Realistically speaking, in this case, the stability of the Han family cannot be boasted. Even when people such as Xun Shuang and Chen Ji conducted social research, they demonstrated that the Brahmin system was structurally better than the Han family.
This set is more stable, but the Brahmins who can't both want and want, and the Han family who are obviously rushing to want and want...
Stability is useless!
Based on this idea of this group of people, even if they degenerate, they will only become a degenerate clan, and then be killed by the newcomers, instead of restraining their own desires and only controlling part of the power!
After realizing this, Chen Xi discarded some of the cognitions brought by the lower reaches of history to look at the entire current framework system in South Asia. Finally, he realized the fact that everything Vesudeva I is working hard now does not seem to be able to change anything.
.
The root of the problem in South Asia is not a matter of internal contradictions, but pure interests. The reason for the unwillingness to dismantle the caste system is very simple, that is, there are some interests in the detailed caste system that are unwilling to let go.
The contradictions that Oswin and others see now are easing. It can only be said that more people have died and positions have been vacated. Just like every dynasty changes, there will be a round of rapid development. This is not just about wise kings and faint kings.
Capacity issues, and the large-scale death of people have freed up positions to reconstruct the interest distribution structure and inject new vitality into society!
After all, even a rubbish dynasty like the Jin Dynasty had a so-called decade of prosperity, the rule of Taikang.
It’s not like some people think that Emperor Wu of Jin is a top wise king, the Jin Dynasty is all rubbish! To put it bluntly, too many people are killed, enough positions are released, and the benefits of killing those big shots are taken out, and everyone is happy.
After all, no matter how many dead miscellaneous fish die, there will not be enough positions for one big boss. When the conflict is at its most intensified, only the dead boss or the collapse of one big boss can bring about the benefits of supporting countless miscellaneous fish. This is
The simplest, historical solution.
To put it clearly, if the existing interests are not enough, but there are still latecomers "waiting for support", then we have no choice but to act recklessly, stabbing the vested interests bloody to death, and then transform and openly wear the clothes.
Shang Huangpao sits in the previous position, or he has to open up new points of interest.
The prosperity that Oswin and others believe is essentially the same thing. It is just a new round of repetition, and it is not even a piece of paper that is neither broken nor established.
After the three families of Han, Luo, Gui and Odin had a big fight with Odin in Northern Europe and solved the problem that Odin might threaten human civilization to a certain extent, they each began to report back to the country.
Of course, Rome's side should not be called a report, but Severus issued a clear order, ordering Rome to completely stop development in other directions in the next year, and while solving internal unrest, provide food and grass for Northern Europe. After all, everything
The Lord of Spirits’ raging has not stopped yet!
That's right, the Lord of All Spirits, who has been burnt to ashes by the Blazing Sky Ring, has not even left any residue. The spores he released relied on those things born by the Romans, and Rome has not yet completely solved it.
Compared with the Han Dynasty and Kushan, which were far enough apart, the independent spores of the Lord of All Spirits had not yet developed to form a large-scale resistance force. In the west of Rome, turmoil had already broken out before the Lord of All Spirits was annihilated.
The Lord of All Spirits was defeated, but the derivatives of the Lord of All Spirits were still fighting.
It's not that the Roman Empire didn't have enough fighting power in the country, but that after the fall of the Lord of All Souls, these things haven't fallen yet. The Roman Empire is not a fool. How can it really not know what the opponent's ideas and types are?
To put it bluntly, after fighting to this extent, Rome also wants to see how many types of barbarians are holding back their great Roman Empire. This test, good guy, the number is really large. As expected, treat
Barbarians cannot be merciful and must be iron-blooded!
In addition, Rome has got its killer weapon, the second-generation Lord of All Spirits, Claudius the Great Lizi, which was launched in Italy a month ago. Now I just want to see how many people are taking advantage of this time to cause national calamity.
Money, how many barbarians are uniting with Rome to rebel!
Severus reluctantly solved Odin's problem and immediately sent a message to the Senate, asking the Senate to stop messing around and close the net quickly. He caught too many fish and it was difficult to deal with it in the end.
Yes, Severus was originally just preparing to test it out, but as the situation in Northern Europe got out of control, the war in Rome spread rapidly like a spark igniting a prairie fire.
In other words, when Rome was prosperous before, everyone supported Rome, but when Rome showed flaws, people everywhere rebelled against it.
After all, the existence of this strange country in Europe, the Roman Empire, was a mistake. It was able to maintain its existence only because it was strong enough. If you really want to say it, it was in a state of complete wolves. Recently, I have been tinkering with it a little bit, and it seems to be a bit of a joke.
, so many rebels jumped out, Severus realized that he had made a mistake in his operation, and while feeling annoyed, he decisively changed his mind and decided to fight quickly.
In addition to these two things, Severus sent a letter to Pompianus through a secret channel, informing the other party to prepare to receive all the prisoners captured in the civil war in the west of Rome, and ordered the other party to organize a team to prepare to build a canal from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea, and strengthen Rome's control over
Control capabilities in Central Asia.
In the early days, Severus did not care about Central Asia, so the Han Dynasty took over the entire east of the Zagros Mountains, and Rome took over the essence of the two rivers. The two sides were divided by the Zagros Mountains, but with the death of Anxi
In order to obtain the secret technique that he had previously developed, Severus had no choice but to reach out to the saffron producing areas in Central Asia.
Compared with what the Han Dynasty said, for every three kilograms of saffron produced in Central Asia, the Han Dynasty would give one kilogram to Rome. Severus felt that it would be better for Rome to take its own things. After all, around the Caspian Sea
This is where saffron can be grown.
After all, the secret medicine of Anxi is indeed very powerful. After using the full set, it is completely equivalent to the smelting blessing brought by a quality talent. The problem is that this bonus is not an increase in the talent multiplier, but a strengthening of the quality foundation.
As long as the subsequent multipliers are the same when the basic quality is enhanced, the difference in combat effectiveness will be very large!
Coupled with the changes in the sky and the curse of world consciousness, the difficulty of talent smelting has increased significantly. In the future, you will have to go to the fifth level of smelting, which has too high requirements for talent and talent selection.
In this case, a complete system of secret medicine and the basic blessing of a whole set of quality talents are really important.
So Severus, who was only relatively excited before, finally recognized the reality after being beaten by the world consciousness - the secret medicine of sleeping is still very fragrant. Let us Rome make a saffron rationing system ourselves, and the Han Dynasty will give it to Rome
Forget it about rationing or anything like that. Today is different from the past. Brother, we in Rome also have to consider national strategy.
By the way, this is also an important reason why Severus allowed civil strife in the western region of Rome. These days, if you want to build a canal quickly, even if there are no problems with the technology, people will die quickly, but it is reasonable and legal, and there will be no hidden dangers.
They can only be dead prisoners.
As for the Han Dynasty having objections to this, to be honest, Rome didn't care much, because the canal was basically within the territory of Rome. Even if the Han Dynasty knew what Rome wanted to do, it was hard to say anything. Interference was trivial.
Domestic affairs are the prerogative of great powers, but if they interfere in the internal affairs of the empire...
However, according to the judgment given by the surveyors in Rome, this canal needs 700 kilometers. If sufficient manpower is invested, it will only take about two years to repair, regardless of personnel losses.
This data sounds outrageous, but it is actually quite normal. The Han Dynasty built the Grand Canal, which ran through the north and south to ensure the dominance of the political center. It actually took five to six years, with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers.
.
In fact, when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, it only took six years to connect the remaining water networks. The actual total length was more than 2,000 kilometers. However, when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, he did not show any consideration for the people's power.
, purebred is achieved in one step, which is quite outrageous.
In Rome, building a canal in such a large plain area relies on the convenience brought by the essence of heaven and earth. It is considered a relatively reasonable situation to build 700 kilometers in two years. After all, there are no mountains, it is all plains. Regardless of measurement,
It is still relatively easy to connect segments, and human resources can be used more solidly. The only problem before was actually where to allocate manpower.
Although the barbarians say they yearn for Rome, they only care for the Roman civil system and the welfare of Rome. They do not want to do heavy physical work for Rome. Organizing millions of barbarians to do such dangerous manual work, one could accidentally
It can be used to prevent a riot in Rome, but if it is replaced by prisoners captured after the riot, it will be completely different.
Severus even specifically mentioned amnesty when he notified Pompianus, which meant that after the canal was built, the prisoners who were still alive could be released directly and go wherever they liked!
In short, I have one idea: repair the canal from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea as soon as possible.
There is a saying that the difficulty of this canal is not high. The reason why it has not been built in later generations is mostly due to political reasons, because there is already a Don River-Volga River in Russia in the north, which means that
The Volga River, then the Don River, can also lead to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
In this case, wouldn't it be nice for Maozi to collect tolls? Why let others build another canal and lose one's own interests?
But now, in order to keep the secret that the Volga River leads to all parts of Eastern Europe, the Yuan family has not thought about the Volga-Don Canal at all. On the contrary, the Black Sea-Caspian Sea Canal was built by Rome first. After a peck and a drink, to be honest,
Really interesting!
However, after the Black Sea-Caspian Sea Canal is repaired, sooner or later the Romans will find the tributaries of the Volga River all over Eastern Europe, and then some things will really have to be faced.
How should I put it? The Yuan family did try their best to keep their secrets, but due to the gap in strength, this way of keeping secrets could not solve any problems. Rome relied on sheer force to defeat cleverness, plus a little bit more
His luck really broke through the blind spot of perspective that the Yuan family had always brought to Rome - this place is good, and the transportation is very convenient. Next, this place will be our Rome!
However, from the current point of view, even if Rome wants to build this waterway, it will take some time. Although the time is not much, for the Yuan family, it is still a preparation.
I just don’t know how Yuan Tan will feel when he receives this news, and he will reflect on it after thinking about it. Anyway, after so many years, if nothing else, Yuan Tan’s ability to withstand pressure is definitely one of the strongest in the Han Dynasty. This
A little bit of wind and frost should still not be able to defeat Zhong Guogong, a strong man of faith.
Oh, if Rome moves a little bit, Yuan Tan should receive relevant information. After all, it is impossible to hide such a big project, and Rome will not deliberately hide it. After all, large-scale projects themselves are a display of national power. The top level in ancient times
Isn't the purpose of the empire to create spectacles so that the younger brothers around them can see at a glance what it means to be powerful?
You see, I am building this thing today and hammering that thing tomorrow, but under these circumstances, I still built such a large project that seems outrageous to the naked eye. Don’t you understand my fighting ability?
Although spectacles cost money, the deterrence brought by building spectacles is no less than that of military force.
However, this time for the Yuan family, it was a spectacle on the opposite side that shocked them!
I finally had a holiday and went home to take care of my baby. My whole body felt uncomfortable and miserable.
