Chapter 45: The Temple of Dhaka (Part I)

Dhaka Tuzhai, the capital of Bengal in later generations, is now a prosperous river port on the north bank of the Ganges River, the lord who rules the Dhaka area is called Gongxin Polo, and the gold and silver ships are moored at the Dhaka wharf, Liu Dafang and Wu Qiong came forward to contact the officials under Gongxin Polo, and asked them to forward the letter written by Ye Polo to the lord of Huashi City.

As a merchant ship, Liu Dafang came into contact with local traders and released some silk, which was extremely valuable in Daqi, and immediately caused a sensation in Dhaka, and slave owners of all sizes flocked to it.

……

The Dhaka area was born of civilization very early, because the architecture is not like the Nanyang tribes, all of them are grass huts and bamboo sheds, but there are many earthen houses, boxy earthen houses, and the style of Middle-earth is very different.

Now Lu Ning is in such an earthen house, a tavern in the city of Dhaka, drinking the local Yanfu fruit wine, Lu Ning took a shallow sip and did not touch it again, but drank the rice wine he brought with him.

Dou Shenbao, etc., is naturally to drink strong shochu.

The mixed food of betel nut fruit and other spices wrapped in betel nut leaves, few people in Middle-earth can get used to eating it, even Liu Dafang, who likes to try it the most, also frowned and reluctantly swallowed it in his stomach.

But Aishwarya, who should have not tasted Tianzhu food for a long time, ate a few more bites.

There were no others in this small earthen house tavern, and Lu Ning and his party occupied three tables.

Lu Ning had his own table, with Gan Yingxiu, Li Shishi, and Xu Dongdong serving beside him.

Duan Yuyan, Aishwarya and interpreter Wu Qiong are at the same table again.

Liu Dafang, Dou Shenbao, and several musketeers from the Falcon Regiment sat at another table, and at this table, there was another Tianzhu interpreter Liu Ling, one of the interpreters specially assigned for the Falcon Regiment.

Lu Ning is actually also pondering, it is actually difficult to really occupy the northeast region of Bengal and Tianzhu, the language and customs are completely incomprehensible, and the digestion and absorption of the surrounding territory of Daqi are completely two concepts, speaking of which, it may be much easier to annex the entire Dongying than to annex here.

The only advantage here is that the people at the bottom have become extremely numb, and the Qi people rule here, for them, it is no different from the original nobles, slave owners, and lords ruling here? Just a new owner? Historically, the Muhammad sect has been invaded here from the west? All the way east? As far as Malaysia and Indonesia, and forever changed the cultural identity of the indigenous people in those lands.

When Lu Ning was pondering? There was a burst of laughter from outside the tavern, and then a group of people walked in? The two Tianzhu nobles headed by them? The two thin old men, although the weather was extremely hot, the two of them were also tightly wrapped in luxurious silk turbans on their heads, but their upper bodies were wrapped in cloth to expose the naked half of their bodies? And the one who followed them? They were all slaves and servants, most of them were wearing dirty and spacious cloth trousers, and their upper bodies were completely naked, all of them were black and thin, and they looked like skeletons.

These two local billionaires are obviously here to find people? Liu Dafang hurriedly stopped them, and Liu Yi was there to translate? chatted with these two Tianzhu Fujia.

These two local wealthy men are brothers, and they are also the two monks and elders of the largest temple in the area? Co-manage that temple that occupies countless lands and slave populations.

These two Brahmin elders are here to trade with Qi Shang? I want to see what treasures Qi Shang still hasn't taken out.

And with it? These two Brahmin elders smelled the aroma of wine in the cup of the Dou Shenbao? Immediately, there was a needle in his little eyes, and he couldn't pull out the wine glass of Dou Shenbao.

The corners of Liu Dafang's mouth showed a contemptuous smile, after all, in his eyes, these monks have no hair, they are the kind of monks in the Central Plains, why do they still have wine and meat through their intestines?

Liu Dayi took out the wine bag, poured a small glass for each of the two Brahmin elders, and asked Liu Yi to translate, saying that this kind of wine was brought on the ship, and it was no problem to trade about 100 catties, and asked the two Brahmin elders what price they could offer.

When the two Brahmin elders sipped the soju into their mouths, they were immediately like an electric shock, and they were so excited that they were incoherent, and they said to Liu Dafang that if they wanted anything, they could go to the temple with the two of them to choose, gold, silver, jewelry, handsome men and beautiful women, everything.

Liu Dafang secretly looked at Lu Ning's expression.

Lu Ning smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, let's take a look." ”

In fact, a few decades later, when the Muhammad sect entered the northern part of India and ruled for hundreds of years, including this Bengal, the local temples naturally suffered great catastrophe.

Yes, taking a look at the current Indian temple, Lu Ning is still very interested.

……

The entire Tu City of Dhaka was built around the Dhaka Temple, and the fertile land within a radius of hundreds of miles was owned by the temple.

The temple is a complex of stone buildings that contrasts with the surrounding impoverished dwellings.

Like many early Hindu temples, its architectural style is full of worship of sexual power, and **** stone sculptures and reliefs can be seen everywhere, which are those statues of gods, and many of them are also images of love.

Walking in these majestic stone buildings, Lu Ning saw that it was not what ordinary people saw, but the origin, history and so on of a primitive religion.

However, Lu Ning knew that this might be the case, so Duan Yuyan, Gan Yingxiu, Li Shishi, Xu Dongdong and other Central Plains women did not bring them, but sent back the gold and silver numbers.

Walking with Lu Ning were Liu Dafang, Dou Shenbao, two generals, Liu Ling, and more than a dozen gunners of the Falcon Regiment.

In addition, there is Aishwarya, Lu Ning feels that she should be happy to see the location of these homologous cultures.

Indeed, Aishwarya, who was dressed in a Tianzhu Jewel Red Sari, wrapped her whole body, revealing her slender waist and delicate figure, and a crimson veil covering her delicate face, was a pair of small red gemstone pointed shoes with seductive jade feet, and during walking, she looked natural and did not feel any embarrassment at all.

Lu Ning sometimes glanced at her, and there was a feeling of traveling and playing with superstars in this ancient temple, in later generations, take a group photo, send a circle of friends, if it is an ordinary circle, then the force is too high.

And the second elder Brahman, the two old monks who were called "Squeak" and "Squeak" by Lu Ning because of their strange names, were shocked when they found Aishwarya in the tavern, and now, the two of them got together and didn't know what to discuss in a low voice, and the two looked at Aishwarya secretly from time to time.

What Lu Ning didn't expect was that in the center of this stone temple complex, there was a clear pond, which was a huge stone pool, and the water seemed to be often replaced by slaves, and it was very clear.
