Antonio became interested in the relationship between Indian and Chinese civilizations three years ago. After two or three years www.biquge.info of research, he did discover some interesting legends between the two sides. The legends of the two civilizations sound like they should be connected to each other.

Following those legends, he deeply studied some ancient customs of the Indians in Central America, and went to China to study some Chinese history and myths and legends.

However, it is difficult to produce economic benefits from such research, so he can't get any funding in South America, and he actually asked Li Sheng for help this time.

According to Antonio himself, it was during the Spring Festival of that year that Li Sheng mentioned the mythological system of China, which led him to connect Indian culture with Chinese culture.

In fact, Li Sheng does not think that the Chinese civilization and the Indian civilization will really have deep historical roots. And even if there were, it would be a thousand or two thousand years. Not to mention the ancestors who immigrated one or two thousand years ago, it is that some people in Nanyang who immigrated out for one or two hundred years do not recognize their ancestors. If it is really found that there were people in China who migrated to the Americas and had contact with the Indians, then what can be demanded of the Indians?

He did not agree to Antonio's request, nor did he refuse immediately.

He thought seriously for a moment, looked into Antonio's eyes and said, "Antonio, I think you should know that even if there are many legends, it is impossible for the written records of that era to be preserved. No matter how in-depth your research is, no matter how true your logic is, it is impossible for anyone to admit it. And that doesn't mean much to reality. ”

Antonio Nunez said: "Lee, if you look at the economy and influence, what you say is really not wrong. But I didn't do this research to achieve amazing results. He groaned and said. "The Indians, who originally occupied the entire American continent, are now confined to the central part of the Americas, and can only be mostly of mixed Indo-European descent, and the Indian descendants are not dominant in the proportion of the population. The Indians actually had many ethnic groups, but they had the same ancestry. And this common ancestor is not too long for the history of mankind, it is a bond of natural kinship between the Indians as a whole. But they don't have a common cultural foundation. As a result, those of mixed Indo-European descent do not intend to recognize themselves as Indians. ”

"Antonio, I know you want to be able to make a difference in the study of Native American culture. But what does that have to do with your research? It's already about politics. ”

Antonio smiled and said: "But if we can have a Juche culture, maybe we can have a unified script, a unified language, and eventually form a truly unified nation." ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and asked, "You mean, you plan to create a language that most Indians can accept and are willing to learn?"

"Yes. Antonio nodded. "In fact, I also know very well that it is not easy to find evidence of a connection with Chinese civilization. But I don't think we necessarily need to prove anything, we just want a system that the Indians recognize, a system that makes them identify with each other as the same ancestor. ”

"And what kind of sponsorship would you like from me?"

"I look forward to your support in setting up a research center in Sipalu, where almost all the populations of Indian descent in the Amazon are concentrated. Antonio paused, "Of course, we would be more grateful if we could get some financial support." ”

Li Sheng thought about it for a while and felt that it was not a big deal to provide a venue. As for the funds, if not a lot, it is not to say that it is not impossible: "I can give you the right to use an acre of land." As for the funds, how much do you need?"

"Our research is mainly for work funding, so we don't need much. I guess if we had a million dollars a year, it would be about the same. ”

Li Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "The venue, I can set aside it for you as soon as possible for research." But the money, I think you might be able to raise money in Siparu now. If you can raise more than half a million dollars, I can give you another 500,000 dollars. ”

Antonio was stunned at first when he heard him say this, but immediately understood Li Sheng's subtext. That is, the current townspeople of Sipalu are quite wealthy, and most of them are of Indian descent, and if they can raise funds in Sipalu, it is quite a proof that there are indeed Indians who hope that they can study something.

If insufficient funds are not raised. That means that even the Indians don't agree with their research projects, and if that's the case, why would Li Sheng fund them?

However, the purpose of Antonio's trip has been achieved. Li Sheng's secretary had reminded him before that Li Sheng could only arrange half an hour for him. He talked to Li Sheng about the matters that need to be paid attention to when raising funds in Sipalu, and then Li Sheng's secretary came in and reported something.

He knew that Li Sheng's next schedule had begun, so he came to the exhibition area to say goodbye.

Li Sheng had a busy day, and on the way home from work, he reviewed what he had done today in his mind. The rest was fine, but Antonio Nunez was a little undecided about the funding he had requested.

In fact, it is not impossible to let him fund it. He had also thought about making the Indians emotionally close to the Chinese. He was originally Chinese, and if the Indians could have a sense of closeness, the Silent Farm would have a stronger sense of security in South America.

It's just that after hundreds of years of colonization in South America, the indigenous people of South America have long lost their control over South America. Not only economically, but also politically, are excluded.

For example, Brazilian law states that illiterate people do not have the right to vote. And there is probably no one else who is illiterate in Brazil except the indigenous people. However, Brazil is said to be the largest democracy in South America. Not to mention other South American countries that are already effectively controlled by whites.

Originally the masters of South America, the Indians are now marginalized from mainstream society, and whites can enjoy the legacy of the colonial era with peace of mind. Now Antonio wants to create a premise for the Indians to stand again. That's definitely not allowed in those countries.

If nothing else, even the United States outside South America will not agree.

South America has long been regarded as the backyard of the United States. Countries with a stronger sense of Indian identity tend to have a higher level of national sentiment. For example, Venezuela's Vechas annoyed the United States for several years. Later, Bolivia elected an Indian president, which also caused Americans to lose a lot of benefits in this country.

Li Sheng has been in South America for several years, and he has a relatively deep understanding of the situation there. Perhaps many Chinese people think that South America should have a lot of Indians. But in fact, Indians account for a relatively large proportion of the country's population, that is, there are many descendants of Indians in northern South America and Mexico, which has a relatively large population. Others have abandoned their Indian ancestry, perhaps more identifying with their culturally and socially advanced Spanish ancestry.

Even if those people do not recognize themselves as Spaniards and Portuguese, they do not recognize themselves as Indians.

But if there is a unified cultural base for the Indian descendants of the whole of South America, it is likely that that one will be united, and they will form a very powerful force in South America. So Antonio Nunais's plan is actually premeditated against the interests of the current ruling class in South America.

Maybe they won't take it to heart. But if Antonio really does it, the movement will definitely be bigger. As Antonio's patron, he is easily disgusted by those countries.

It's just that he does want the Indians to have their own culture. And it is a new culture influenced by Chinese culture. That would allow the Indians to be more harmonious in the town of Sipalu.

It's just that that's just his own idea, and even if he is willing to fund it, it depends on whether the Indians are really willing to accept a new culture.

He asked Antonio to go to Sipalu to raise money, and he really wanted to see if the Indians could accept Antonio Nunais's plan.

Asking the other party to raise more than $500,000 is not making things difficult. There are now more than 10,000 families in Sipalu. They have at least 5,000 families whose incomes can reach more than $30,000 a year. He felt that it was perfectly possible to raise a hundred dollars from these families.

If the inhabitants of Sipalu feel that there should be an Indian culture, then he can agree with the townspeople of Sipalu with a little money, which will make them identify with him and Silent Farm even more.

When he returned home, he was already at home with only two classes this afternoon. Li Sheng entered the door and saw her cleaning like a little butterfly with a chicken feather sweep, and a vacuum cleaner was still placed in the middle of the living room.

Seeing him return, she stopped and said, "You're back?"

Li Sheng casually threw his handbag on the sofa, walked over and took the chicken feather sweep in her hand, pulled her to sit on the sofa, and said, "Just let the maid do these things." "He's not the kind of rich family in Korean dramas, how can he not even hire a maid if he has the money, can he ask Yuanya to do it?

"This is our private space, and I want to clean it when I have time anyway. I just didn't expect to do it so slowly. "This living room is where Li Sheng and Yuanya live, and there are few servants except for the fixed cleaning time.

Nya is not a girl who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers. However, Li Sheng feels that since he has this ability, he should enjoy it when he lives.

"Just leave professional things to professional people. ”

"I only do it once in a while. "Tya shook her short skirt. "I'm going to change my clothes first. As she spoke, she poured Li Sheng a glass of boiled water, and then went to the room. (To be continued.) )
