Sweep the World

Just to distinguish it by style, Iraq is no different from most parts of the Middle East. It is also the Gobi and desert everywhere. It is difficult to find natural patches of green shade. If there is one, it is absolutely artificial. . Fastest update

After Wang Meng and others entered the borders of Iraq, they discovered that the population in places that have been full of wars is surprisingly large, and their settlements are relatively concentrated.

"Oh." Varoli Ustans explained: "The environment in southern Iraq is a little harsher. They can only inhabit places with fixed water sources."

This is the case in the Middle East. In many areas, even hundreds of meters of ground cannot be dug out. Only a few places can dug out water for a little more than ten meters.

In fact, the Middle East does not lack rivers, but streams and other water are scarce, which is determined by the local geographic location and climate. Although there is a lack of water here, after the internal combustion engine was invented, oil, which is extremely important to the world, has the largest reserves and distribution in the world.

The envoy of the Han State came to a halt after entering Iraq for hundreds of miles. Wang Meng and other envoys with higher status were arranged in a manor. I heard that it was originally the home of a prince or a nobleman.

Unlike the rest of the places where you can see all yellow sand at first glance, the manor is full of flowers and trees, and there are some very beautiful fountains and pools, which let Wang Meng and others who have had enough sand on the road get the greatest relaxation.

Marcus Macca, Varoli Ustans and Mawson Hardidan lived in the same manor. They surprisingly didn’t have much smell of gunpowder to live together peacefully, and they could sit down and enjoy a few glasses of wine together. .

"We have the same task now, how can we be incompatible?" Mawson Hadidan told the truth: "We will temporarily put aside the dispute until you leave."

Wang Meng had a special understanding of the grievances and hatreds between the Persians and the Romans. No matter how the dynasties of the Persians and the Romans were changed, they had killed hundreds of mortal enemies for thousands of years. They were able to reach a consensus peacefully, mainly Han is very important to both Persian Sassan and Rome.

This is how a powerful country is. Even if it is tens of thousands of miles away, as long as people know how powerful, you must be afraid of doing anything, especially if that powerful country can expedition tens of thousands of miles across the sea, and exaggerated On the other side of the continent has sent hundreds of thousands of troops, no one wants to get into such a powerful country.

As an envoy from a powerful country, Wang Meng's courtesy standards from Persia and the attention from Rome can better understand the treatment he received as a member of a powerful country. He accepted all the attention and aspects with peace of mind, without feeling at all. What's wrong.

Of course, Wang Meng is very clear that this is the attitude when both the Persian Sassanids and the Romans are in favor of the Han. Once the differences of interest cannot be bridged, what to do or what to do, maybe the Persian Sassan and Rome Fear of Han, but it is impossible to say that you are afraid of Han to be arbitrarily bullied or blackmailed.

When Taixi was sealed, Wang Meng had already signed relevant documents on behalf of Liu Yan and Shapur II. In fact, it was not a big deal. The trade relationship was determined from the form of credential. In short, the Han and Persians could communicate. For the two places to buy and sell goods, the two countries have the responsibility to ensure the safety of each other's personnel within their own borders.

The credential is also very strict. If the personnel of the two countries break the law, it will be based on local laws. However, the trial should not be conducted by one country alone, but by a joint court.

It’s not that Wang Meng has never fought for legal immunity, or that Han people can only transfer to Han for processing. Persians may not understand so many corners, but they are not so stupid to agree, and the result is above. The one mentioned is the standard process.

"Do you also bring the same credentials when you go to Constantinople?" Marcus Marca took it seriously after learning about this: "If it is, I need to send someone to bring the letter first."

Wang Meng didn't think there was anything to hide, and he nodded and said, "Generally, it is. The details need to be confirmed during the interview."

They were chatting on a semi-covered balcony, next to a fountain that was spraying water, and a pool (swimming pool?) on the second floor. Underneath was a group of dancers on a small platform, dancing in the music. Man's dance.

The dancers came from Persia. They were taken by Mawson Hardidan on purpose. There were many performances on the road. It was a bit miserable or a pity that some dancers died because of illness, but including Mawson Hardidan, who were high above. No one cared about the Persians, but Wang Meng and other Han people Ningxiangxiyu offered to buy, but they were rejected.

Mawson Hadidan has reasons to refuse. Those dancers are the property of Zoroastrianism. If there are only a few of them, he can still be the master, and all of them are not qualified enough to decide the sale.

From that one thing, Wang Meng can understand that whether it is Arabs or Persians, or in Central Asia, West Asia, or the Middle East, their women’s status here is so low that they are scary. Or the status of livestock is similar.

The women of Zhu Xia have different social status in different periods. Generally speaking, they are not as miserable as the Middle East, and there have even been periods when women were in power. Even if women are not in power, their social status is not really low. At least there is no law that clearly stipulates that women have low social status, and there is no law to specifically stipulate that they cannot do things that men can do, let alone use it. The law stipulates that if something is revealed, it will be stoned to death.

In the current special period of the imbalanced male-to-female ratio in Han, too many men can’t find their partners, and it’s too late to get a wife happy. There is no chance that they will beat and scold at every turn. Cherish is the mainstream. Relatively fatal is that the current Han country continues the pre-Han policy, but not only men can file divorce suits with the government, women can also file for divorce if they feel that they can't live with their husbands.

Liu Yan once jokingly said that the serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women in society may cause a unique social phenomenon, that is, men have to please women, wait for women to feel that being pleased is a matter of course, and even evolve into getting along with each other. The relationship between women is superior to men, and the next generation of men is probably going to be miserable.

The more you lack something, it must be the greater the competition. Naturally, you have to pay more if you want to get it. In the process, as a person being competed, it is very rare that you will not feel arrogant emotions, which will not change in the theory of competition. matter.

After sending away a few outsiders, Dou'a complained: "There has been an unreasonable phenomenon of making trouble, but I was afraid that the mother-in-law would run away, so I didn't dare to hold on. No matter how far I go, there is still manliness."

Wang Meng was stunned. His wife was chosen by Liu Yan from the Cui family. Although his wife who was educated by a large family sometimes showed a strong side, she never surpassed him when she should be respected. It is difficult to understand what Dou A said. .

"We have a long way to go!" Dou'a almost gritted his teeth and said, "Get enough women to go back, and wait until they are no longer a rarity, I think it can be like that."

Wang Meng was stunned again, guessing that Dou'a had also been stunned by his wife.

They have many tasks for this trip. The formal submission of credentials with Persian Sassanids and Rome is one aspect. Trade is the top priority, and the most important thing is to purchase food and women.

After entering Persia, Wang Meng purchased a lot of food, but the later he bought the less food, on the contrary, the number of slaves he bought kept increasing.

"The Persians are in turmoil, so it should be right to not buy more food." Cai Mian smiled badly, and continued: "We keep throwing money out. The Persians don't try to arrest Arabs and Serbs. People from the Yue family...Anyway, no matter who it is, it is just a matter of giving orders to the army for those governors, let alone fighting against them."

Obtaining slaves is of course a good thing. Wang Meng also knew that it was aggravating the contradiction between the Persian Sassanids and other ethnic groups.

"Then go ahead, won't you have an alien daughter-in-law?" Dou'a is not a bloodist, he just asked out of an inexplicable tradition, "Will there be any hair color in the future, or Is it because the child has white skin?"

This is a very serious problem. The central government has also had serious discussions on this. Sang Yu's argument is that he wants to legislate. For example, if his appearance is different from black hair, dark eyes, and yellow skin, he does not have the right to inherit the title. .

"The legislation will not be passed." Wang Meng didn't get any news, and said straightforwardly in his own opinion: "Think about it. Dahan has entered the Western Regions and has obtained hundreds of thousands of white-skinned women. They will become the wives of the Han people. It will produce offspring. Most of the Han who marched into the Western Regions will get knighthoods, even if they are not prominent, they are also knighthoods. Who can guarantee that the children born will be Han Chinese. Once the legislation is passed, what will happen to them?"

To say that the women who are sent back to China are not only different from the Han people in the Western Regions, but there are not few people with dark skin on the Indochina Peninsula, and the dark skin on Ah San has more dark skin, that is, the peninsula and the Japanese. The archipelago and other places got back to look almost the same as the Han people.

"The other legislation will definitely be passed." The expression on Wang Meng's face began to become weird, and he had to say in a serious tone: "For those with the rank of doctor or above, the regular wife can only be a Han woman, but there is a Han concubine. , Change upwards at this level."

Dou'a didn't understand, and asked intentionally, Cai Mian who was next to him spoke first.

"It's just that more Han women from the surplus will marry as regular wives, or..." Cai Mian sighed and said dullly, "Or you want to, if there are no restrictions, the higher the status is not Having more Han women makes others have to marry foreigners."

"After all, the center is afraid..." Dou'a understood: "I'm afraid of the situation we just mentioned."

"I'm afraid anyway." Cai Mian didn't hide it either. "If our generation is desperate to make the country strong and prosperous, it will be made up of a group of golden and red hair...Anyway, it's not black hair, just enjoy what we created. Everything, thinking about it a little bit makes me feel bad."

Wang Meng remembered the past. At that time, he was Liu Yan's personal secretary, always waiting by Liu Yan's side, and he listened a lot. He remembered that Liu Yan had talked about similar topics. At that time, Liu Yan's meaning was very clear. Naturally, he rejected a group of people who did not look like Han people to enjoy the creation results, but that was not determined by them, it was determined by the situation of the country. future.

To put it bluntly, anyone who does not have a sufficient number of Han women now cannot conquer the wombs of women of other ethnic groups. Under the premise of patrilineal society, in fact, no matter what appearance children have, they are all of the Han family. There are things that work hard to create results are wasted, but it should be a bad heart.

There are already so many things in the Han country. For example, a considerable number of families strictly forbid family children from marrying foreign women, and even concubines cannot be foreign women. If they feel that the family blood is foreign, it is tainting the ancestors. What left them speechless was that the center really wanted to push someone with a certain status to accept a foreign woman as a concubine. It became part of the Han law at all, and they didn't know what to do.

"What else?" Cai Mian said something without scruples: "There is no way. The people have all kinds of appearances, but the people who care about them are the same, and there are some discriminatory policies, not forcing them Come to resist?"

In fact, there is a way ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ is that once a child is born that is not like a Han, no one will look like a Han, but it is really cruel, at least Han will not be introduced. Such laws are not allowed even by people who do so spontaneously.

This is not the same thing as Yequan in the early Mengyuan period. It is Han men who occupy the wombs of foreign women, and the children born out of them, no matter what they look like, are indeed their own blood. It is different from the fact that the wombs of the Han women are occupied and give birth to their own species.

No one was talking anymore, they were all stunned, looking at the pool or garden below from a distance. There were women of different races playing in those places, and from time to time there would be "嘤嘤嘤" laughter.

"What can we do? We are so desperate!" Dou'a yelled "Ah", and sat down on the vine chair with a dejected butt, as if lying half-legged, and an Arab woman next to him immediately went up to the front to get wine. , He subconsciously took it and drank it in one gulp: "We went to grab and gave birth to our blood, it is better than extinct ourselves, or a foreign race to grab it, right?"

Cai Mian couldn't help but let out a "hehehehe" laugh: "It is too exaggerated to say that extinction is too exaggerated. Even if the population increases slowly, social security will be extremely poor."

Wang Meng was a little confused. He couldn't remember after thinking about it for a long time. How did he get into this topic?
