Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 877 Long-Term Meal Ticket
Time flies so fast, it flew into September.The snowflakes flying all over the sky have swept across the northern border of the Western Regions, and the news from the west of Congling Mountain has been completely cut off from the Central Plains. Even if the news from the Western Regions is about to reach Jinling, the speed is too slow.

Lu Qian has no intention of paying attention to the changes in the northwest anymore. Anyway, there will be no substantial changes in the situation in the northwest before another 'Western Expedition' is launched.

The Ghaznavid Dynasty is just a dynasty in decline. As a dynasty at the eastern end of Tianfang Sect, its importance is not as important as that of the Eastern Kara Khanate.

In Lu Qian's eyes, this place may be the starting point for Tianfang Sect to invade Tianzhu.Now that Yelu Dashi is trying to do it with all his strength, he is actually helping Tianzhu, although they don't know it at all, let alone appreciate it.

——Without the Ghaznavids, the people of Northern Tianzhu, which are adjacent to China, will only face greater pressure.

Ceylon, which was captured by Lu Qi, had been swept away, and a large number of prisoners of war and rebellious Tamils ​​were turned into goods for manpower trading companies.

Most of these people are quite dark in complexion and the Tamils ​​are of the Dravidian type.This is a native race in Tianzhu, short in stature, dark in complexion, small and flat nose, thick lips, black, thick and curly hair.It has a certain similarity with the black Shuli in Africa, but their skin color is much lighter than that of the black Shuli.

At least it is acceptable to Chinese people.

There are tens of thousands of Tamils ​​in Ceylon. Although they have a low status in the Chola Kingdom, they are superior to the Sinhalese.

Think about the caste system in Tianzhu. The Sinhalese with a population of up to one million, except for a small number of nobles, will be identified as Brahmins and Kshatriyas, or some Vaishyas. More than [-]% of the entire race will be regarded as Sudra and Dalit.This is definitely a painful suppression for the Ceyloners who have been in the Buddhist atmosphere for a long time.

You know, Ceylon also has a caste system, but the caste system in Ceylon is completely different from that in Tianzhu.

The Sinhalese caste is based on the division of labor in people's social life, and puts more emphasis and prominence on people's occupational characteristics in economic activities.Among them, the cultivator caste "Quvi" is the highest caste, and this proportion accounts for about half of the Sinhalese people.This is unimaginable in Tianzhu.Therefore, in the native society of Ceylon, they generally believe that castes below "Quvi" are low castes.

In addition to the "Quwei" caste, the Sinhalese also have: Yiluofa-the caste of fishermen.Most of them live in the coastal areas of their country, and they lived on fishing in history, second only to "Qu Wei" in number.

Shaluo - a caste that peels cinnamon bark as a profession.The Salo caste claimed to be descendants of the Brahmins of southern India, but apparently they did not become honorable in Ceylon.

and finally the Durova—caste of coconut wine brewers.Coconut wine brewing has a long history in Ceylon. There are many people engaged in this profession. Some have become rich by operating the wine making industry and occupy an important position in the economic field.

Compared with the caste system in Tianzhu, this 'caste system' is as amiable as a Bodhisattva.

Moreover, the complete extinction of Buddhism in Ceylon has only happened in the past few decades. Before its extinction, the Buddhist tradition spread in Ceylon was Mahayana Buddhism. The latter's doctrine does not conflict much with Theravada Buddhism, but it is undoubtedly in conflict with China. Native Buddhism is even more consistent.

Ceylon once believed in Mahayana during the middle period of Li and Tang Dynasties, and Esoteric Buddhism was particularly prosperous.During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Theravada Buddhism was already on its last legs in Ceylon, and it was difficult to even meet the required number of monks to hold formal Buddhist ceremonies.

On the eve of the invasion of the Chula Kingdom, King Vijayabahu ascended the throne and sent envoys to Bagan to invite eminent monks who are proficient in the Tripitaka to come to Ceylon to rebuild Theravada Buddhism.It's a pity that the country was ruined and the family was destroyed before the "great cause" was accomplished.

Now Lu Qi replaced Zhu Luo, Buddhism revived, Ceylon traditions were restored, and the Tamils ​​were eliminated. It can be said that a general rule was established in Ceylon very soon.

During this process, the affected Tamils ​​and a small number of Sinhalese were all classified as 'prisoners of war'.

Prisoners of war means no human rights and means money.

In the second half of the year, tens of thousands of Tamils ​​were transported to various feudal states in Southeast Asia. They were all of the same appearance, at least as black.

Most of these Tamils ​​are Shudras and Dalits, and labor is not painful for them.The labor these people have endured in Southeast Asian countries has definitely increased year-on-year, but they have also earned respect.

Shudras aside, at least Dalits will no longer be regarded as "untouchable" by society as a whole.You no longer have to worry about being beaten up for no reason if you accidentally touch someone; you can't even touch others with their shadows. You have to bring your own broom when walking, and sweep away your own footprints as you walk.

Under the Chinese, their labor intensity is more intense than before, but at least they can live like a human being.

After a short period of adaptation, many of these people will show a strong tendency to convert. Nanyang Buddhism and a small amount of Taoism all fundamentally deny the caste system in terms of doctrine.

Perhaps, in Tianzhu in history, the Tianfang religion once flourished, so it might not have something to do with the influence of this surname system.

No matter how much it will be criticized in later generations, Rentianfang teaches, but people really don't have such a thing as the caste system.Tianfang teachings believe that all people have only one ancestor, all living beings are equal, and Tianfang is all brothers.The soil of the caste system fundamentally does not exist.As for the hierarchical differentiation, family politics, etc. in the Tianfang country of later generations, it involves another level of social issues.

In the second half of the year, various Nanyang feudal countries imported a large amount of labor force, and there was a high possibility that they could be sincerely recruited. In a sense, it greatly stimulated the development of Nanyang countries.It even made Human Resources Commercial Bank see a big golden mountain.

The number of sudras and dalits on the island of Ceylon is limited, but the number of sudras and dalits on the mainland of Tianzhu is unlimited. Isn't the latter a big gold mine?

Even within the territory of the Central Plains, there is a wave faintly surging.The Nanyang countries need labor, so why don't they need labor?

All of them dragged their relationship to the manpower firm, which was run by Yang Lin and Shi Xiu. Their shoulders were too narrow and they couldn't bear it at all. The news changed hands and the defendant went to Emperor Lu.

"The points are ranked according to the ranking. If you are impatient, just make your own arrangements."

Lu Qian chose to look at the points without hesitation.

This kind of thing is very simple for him to judge, but the new problem behind this problem makes him hesitate.

Lu Qian knew that Buddhism was born in Tianzhu and then perished in Tianzhu.That’s not right, it’s not considered destroyed now.In later generations of Bangladesh, there was still a Polo dynasty protecting Buddhism.

Nalanda Temple and Chaoji Temple still exist.

It's just that although Buddhism is receiving the protection of the Balo Dynasty, it is said that other places in Northern Tianzhu, even in the country of the Balo Dynasty, are already dying.

Moreover, Mahayana Buddhism in Tianzhu has fallen into the era of Esoteric Buddhism by this time. It has adopted a large number of Brahmanism rituals and forms, too many cumbersome rituals, and some Esoteric practice methods have...

To put it bluntly, the monks in these two super temples are the forefathers of Tibetan Buddhism.And the latter has made many positive improvements compared to the former.

So now the question Lu Qian has to think about is: Should Buddhism be spread back to Tianzhu?
Monk Hua was looking at him eagerly.But Lu Qian found it difficult to make a decision in a short period of time.Buddhism in China emphasizes the equality of all living beings. If Tianzhu has such a large population, if they were all equal, would there still be Brother Asan in the future?
The Brahmin and caste systems have allowed only one tenth of the inhabitants of the Tianzhu continent to become a real 'human being', making its huge population completely unable to exert its due strength. This is China's biggest reliance on its long-term conquest of Tianzhu.

For beliefs and so on, Lu Qi is more concerned about China's long-term meal tickets.As long as Tianzhu continues to believe in Brahman, the surname system cannot be abolished, and Tianzhu with a large population can only become a huge piece of fat to be slaughtered by China.

Can Buddhism do the same?
Emperor Lu felt that there was no need to be too kind. After all, Brother Asan was very happy, wasn't he?Tianzhu people are not Chinese?In other words, he never thought about turning Tianzhu into Han soil from the beginning...
