"Your Majesty, Mr. Fengyi is bringing someone to see you."
"Let them in."
Zhang Yao, who followed Fang Lingxi in, was one of the six Jishi sects who originally went west to India.
"Your Majesty, Fang Lingxi, pays homage to Your Majesty." Fang Lingxi bowed his hands.
Wang Yuan stipulated that Han people in Tianzhu were only allowed to kneel down and worship heaven, earth, king, relatives, and master.
Moreover, you can only kneel down on important occasions such as sacrifices. Any kind of kneeling ritual is illegal.
Even when the king convenes a court meeting, ministers are not allowed to kneel down unless the court meeting is of a ceremonial nature.
Zhang Yao then bowed to him and said: "Zhang Rao, disciple of Physics, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I heard about you. Six of you came to Tianzhu together and merged the Jishi Sect with Sikhism."
Zhang Yao was frightened: "I hope your majesty will not blame you."
"I don't blame you, the teachings of Sikhism are actually pretty good." Wang Yuan said.
Zhang Yao took the opportunity and said: "The Jishi Sect has tens of thousands of members in Tianzhu, most of whom are low castes and untouchables. If your Majesty grants you a piece of land, they are willing to move their families here and become Han Chinese."
Wang Yuan was a little surprised: "There are actually tens of thousands of people? How many of them can speak Chinese and how many of them can write Chinese characters?"
Zhang Yao said: "I can speak a few words in Chinese and can barely communicate in a simple way. As for Chinese characters, only a dozen people can write them, and the rest are illiterate."
Wang Yuan did not comment on the naturalization of the land, but instead asked: "Tell me about the caste system in Tianzhu, and try to be as detailed as possible."
Zhang Yao slowly said:
"Caste, if based on phonetics, is also called Varna and Tija."
"Varna means color, specifically referring to skin color. Light skin color belongs to Aryan Varna and is the conqueror; dark skin color belongs to Dasa Varna and is the conquered."
"Tiga means origin, or race."
"Varna and Tiga are sometimes used interchangeably, but Tiga is used more widely."
"Tianzhu does not only have four castes, but can be subdivided into hundreds or thousands of castes. The more industries there are, the more castes there are. A long time ago, it was possible to work across castes, for example, a doctor's son could become a poet. But gradually, castes and
Occupations began to be bound, and a doctor's son could only be a doctor, and doctors were separately classified as a small caste."
Wang Yuan suddenly interrupted: "In other words, regardless of other factors, caste is now occupation. Just like the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty, the son of a Lehu can only be a Lehu?"
Zhang Yao said: "Generally, it can be understood this way, but the specifics are somewhat different. High castes are also human beings, and they have to support their families. If a Brahmin family declines, its descendants can also engage in other professions. This is clearly stated in the Vedas.
It is allowed. High castes are forced to engage in low caste occupations due to livelihood. However, even if low castes starve to death, they are not allowed to get involved in high caste occupations."
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "You can move down, but your caste will not change?"
Zhang Yao nodded: "Yes. The same is true for marriage. A high-caste man can marry a low-caste woman. But a low-caste man can never marry a high-caste woman."
Wang Yuan thought of Internet rumors before time travel: "Will children born across castes become untouchables?"
Zhang Yao said with a smile: "Of course it is impossible. Children all follow their father's caste. Occasionally, a wealthy low-caste man marries a poor high-caste woman. Although it is not recognized by the Vedas, as long as the respective families do not object, it is okay.
Basically there will be no one to stop it. The children born between the two will also follow their father and be of a lower caste."
Wang Yuan asked: "If you want to naturalize more indigenous people, where should you start?"
"Sudora species." Zhang Yao said.
Wang Yuan asked: "Why is this so?"
Zhang Yao explained: "Shudras belong to one of the four major castes. Although they belong to the lowest caste, they are not untouchables after all. Sudras are spread across all industries and are the cornerstone of Tianzhu society. But they are 'lifelong people' and are prepared to
Discriminated by the first three major castes."
Wang Yuan asked: "What is a 'lifelong person'?"
Zhang Yao said: "Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and Vaishyas, the three major castes, can all participate in the initiation ceremony. Once you participate in the initiation ceremony, you can become a Hindu. This is called 'rebirth', and after you join the religion, you will be
"Rebirth people'. However, Shudras are not allowed to participate in the initiation ceremony and cannot be reborn, so they are called 'life-long people'."
Wang Yuan finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and asked: "As one of the four major castes, Shudras are not allowed to join Hinduism?"
Zhang Yao said with a smile: "In fact, they believe in Hinduism, which has been passed down orally from generation to generation. But strictly speaking, they cannot officially become Hindus, and they are not even qualified to listen to the teachings. The "Gadama Code" stipulates: 'If
If a Sudra deliberately listens to someone (reciting) the Vedas, he must pour molten tin and wax into his ears. They can't even listen to Hindu scriptures, so how can they be devout to Hinduism? The reason why they believe in Hinduism is purely
It is due to inertia and the result of being exposed to it since childhood. Once you are truly good to them and spread other teachings to them, eight out of ten will be willing to convert to other religions."
"Okay, okay," Wang Yuan was overjoyed, "I will be sincerely good to them!"
The reason why the British and Portuguese found it difficult to preach in India was because they were unable to penetrate deeply into the masses and did not give preferential treatment to converted believers.
But Wang Yuan can!
Wang Yuan said to Zhang Yao: "Bring the tens of thousands of followers of the Jishi sect, and I will arrange land for them. If they are willing to change their surnames to Chinese and learn to write twenty Chinese characters, then I will agree to let them be naturalized."
Han Chinese."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yao was also very excited.
Wang Yuan sent Fang Lingxi and Zhang Yao away and immediately wrote to Zhu Zaiyi.
The content of the letter is nothing more than complaining about the fact that there are too many illegal monks in the Ming Dynasty, and that the little emperor's last rectification action was a failure. Please ask the little emperor to clean up the illegal temples again, and all those monks and Taoist priests who have not paid ultimatums can be sent to Tianzhu.
At the same time, Wang Yuan also complained to the young emperor, saying that he could only control the Gyeonggi area, and his sphere of influence was equivalent to several counties around Beijing. As the king of Tianzhu, he was doing the same thing as the prefect of Ming Dynasty.
If you have nothing to do, playing the emotional card will definitely be effective.
If Zhu Zaijun is willing to cooperate, he can immigrate thousands of monks and Taoists first. Even if the quality is uneven, the quantity can make up for it.
Sudras and untouchables who are not qualified to listen to scriptures and become religious are asked to listen to monks and Taoists reciting scriptures every day, and the concept of equality of all living beings is instilled in them every day. Coupled with preferential treatment in policies, only fools will cling to Hinduism!
By the way, when allocating land, Han people must also be allowed to immigrate and live together with Shudras and untouchables, and provide them with a living environment to learn Chinese.
Insert an app: a perfect replica of the old version of the book-chasing artifact and a replaceable source app——.
Ten years later, these mixed indigenous people will all become Han Chinese, with slightly darker skin color.
