Along the Ganges River, in BC is the main gathering place of ancient Indian civilization, the sixteen countries of ancient India, there are eleven countries distributed on both sides of the Ganges, Yunlu City, is the territory of the ancient sixteen countries of India, and nowadays, the population density on both sides of the Ganges River is also the highest in the Indian subcontinent.

Of course, the same is true in later generations, and the population density on both sides of the Ganges and in Bangladesh is also staggering in the world.

In Yunlu City, in addition to the lowest Shudra slaves, a large number of Vaishyas civilians, small landlords, fishermen and merchants, various craftsmen and so on gathered.

It's just that except for a few aristocratic gathering areas in the royal capital, most of the rest of the Tianzhu towns are dirty and smelly, and the hot weather is even more so, now in late winter and spring, although Yunlu City is not so sultry, but the early summer in Bianjing is no different, it is to the civilians on the street, most of them wear wrap skirts under their loose jackets, and most of the dresses are tattered and dirty, as for the Shudra slaves, the wide leaves and the like are wrapped in the lower body, and the black body with bare feet is exposed to the sun, and the body is dirty and dirty, which is more conspicuous.

It was noon when Lu Ning came to the Heavenly Dao Judgment Center, and there was a long queue in front of the Judgment Center, it was about to be the New Year, and the Judgment Hall gave porridge to the outside world, and the elderly and children could each receive a bowl per day.

Like the provincial capitals, several state cities also have Heavenly Dao Inquisitions, in essence, in addition to the ideological oppression and transformation of the local natives, the Inquisition will also distribute medicine and so on.

In fact, in the future, the grain collected by Daqi in the Southern Regions Province is simply unrealistic to say that it is transported back to Daqi, in addition to supplying the local garrison and transporting it to Jihai City and Longmen City, the main thing is to prepare for winemaking, and Donghai Baixing has begun to build a large liquor store in Dhaka? The money traded with the merchants of the Southern Regions went directly to the treasury in Bianjing? It is equivalent to contributing to the treasury revenue of Daqi in disguise, if it is traded locally? Send the money back to Daqi again? Not to mention the low efficiency, encountering accidents along the way? The losses are even greater.

And the good deeds done by the Heavenly Dao Judgment for the New Year and the festival are a drizzle for the local collection of taxes? Does the wool come out of the sheep? It is also tantamount to changing the holiday traditions of the local indigenous people in disguise.

……

The court is a complex of wooden houses, the architectural style is the Central Plains style, three in and three out, and the front courtyard is the left for the Taoist hall? The right is the medical hall? The Central Plains and the backyard are the residences of the members of the Order, and there are slave warriors guarding the front and back.

"Let's eat just here!" Lu Ning walked around the Taoist hall and the medical hall, and finally said with a smile.

Lu Ning is walking around in this Yunlu City, and he is a light car? Today, there are four people with Lu Ning, including Dou Shenbao, Gan Yingxiu, Jia Li, and Liu Yi, but a bunch of people from the Order are on the side? There are leaders and defenders, and there are several defenders from Middle-earth and the local defenders.

Listen to Lu Ning want to dine here? Fan Xing smiled slightly: "This is very good, I have prepared the dishes for adults." ”

Lu Ning is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in the capital? Longtu Pavilion straight bachelor? From the three products? At the same level as the governor of the overseas province, Fan Xing, as the leader of the sect in this city, naturally knows this information, and he doesn't know what special mission this Wenlongtu has, it should be to investigate the local customs and customs, and it is enough to see the importance that the Holy Son of Heaven attaches to the Southern Regions.

Lu Ning looked at him and smiled, "I heard that the monk's cooking skills are very good, it seems that I have a good mouth." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." All walks waved their hands again and again.

Lu Ning glanced at it, his gaze fell on a curly-haired and deep-eyed local monk among the monks behind Fan Xing, and said with a smile: "You talk to Jiali more." ”

This monk's name is Wang Bao, is Jiali's father, after the change in Dhaka City, Jiali's people who were not killed and imprisoned were released, including Wang Bao, and then Wang Bao converted to Tiandaoism, and became a local missionary, naturally, also changed the name of Qi people.

Lu Ning brought Jiali to her father, although she was the cheap brother in her previous life, but in fact, she didn't say a few words.

……

Fan Xing's cooking skills are really good, local game fried and fried, as well as the seasonings he researched, Lu Ning actually felt that there might be substances harmful to the body, such as a green powder brought by the flying stones outside the sky, but he didn't say it out of his luck, after all, Fan Xing was quite proud of his own cooking skills, this kind of person, would rather live a few years less, than want his proud skills to become a ridiculous thing, anyway, the seasonings he uses have been tested with poultry and dogs, and there must not be much toxicity.

Lu Ning used some lightly, not because he was afraid of poisoning, but because he had not had the strength to strike iron at night for a long time recently, so he really couldn't eat any high-calorie food, and even drinking some water every day might be enough for his body.

After finishing the meal, Lu Ning went to the middle courtyard, because there is a Bodhi tree here, which is one of the few century-old Bodhi trees in this Yunlu City, and the Heavenly Dao Pavilion is built here, more or less because of this Bodhi tree.

I have to say that the Bodhi tree does give people a sense of solemn atmosphere, the umbrella-shaped emerald green crown, and there are strings of green Bodhi seeds, the breeze blows, the beads and green leaves are swaying, looking up for a long time, will be in a trance will be the blue sky and white clouds and the green Bodhi, as one.

Lu Ning looked up to admire the wood, and Gan Yingxiu made tea on the stone table next to him.

Fan Xing originally came over, but when he saw this situation, he confessed and said that he was going to deal with some teaching affairs and left the middle court.

"Xiu'er, what do you think of me as a person?" Looking up at the sky, Lu Ning was in a trance, a little forgot his identity, and chatted casually, perhaps, it's really lonely, in this world, especially in front of people who know their identity, they always have to be high above and not smile, in fact, even how many people around them serve, and they always feel that this world is the only one like themselves.

After speaking, Lu Ning was a little vigilant, shook his head, and looked at the vast sky for a long time, it would really make him dizzy and make his brain stop thinking.

turned his head to look at Gan Yingxiu, but saw that she was a little overwhelmed, obviously not expecting that she would suddenly come up with such a sentence.

Speaking of which, Gan Yingxiu wears a snow-white princess dress, shawl and long hair, and has an elegant temperament, which is a bit of an elegant beauty in later generations, but no matter what she wears, the things in her bones will not change.

Lu Ning smiled and waved his hand, "Let's try your tea." ”

Gan Yingxiu offered fragrant tea with both hands, Lu Ning took it, looked at the green in the white jade teacup, sighed in his heart, and always felt as if he had no appetite for drinking some tea every day, and he really didn't know what was going on with his bones.

Suddenly remembered something and asked, "What happened to the family you appeased?" ”

Gan Yingxiu, Li Shishi, Xu Dongdong and Big and Small Dance, Lu Ning each selected a family from the Barisha households, which were fishermen, farmers, merchants, and artisan households, a total of four households, each of them had a counterpart to a household, and two people from the big and small dances had a counterpart to a household, called "Zhaofu", which is to understand their hardships and needs, these four households, Lu Ning chose to be representative, such as Gan Yingxiu's counterpart fisherman, when the small part of the Qi army and the Arakan slave soldiers conquered the city, their family was killed by the Arakan people, and almost all the men were killed, Originally, it was a big family of fishermen, and now the rest are old and weak women and children, but the family fishing boat was not burned in the war, and there are still seven or eight small fishing boats.

However, the right to fish from the temple was somewhat dangerous, and the Shudra slaves and absentee slaves became less loyal to one of the local fishermen, who had suddenly lost most of his males.

Nowadays, in addition to the matriarchal tribal society similar to the daughter country, the phenomenon of male superiority and female inferiority in other regions is more serious, and women are basically not people in the strict sense, women are real vassals, and they have no right to inherit property at all.

This is the case with this fisherman, who is headed by a child of seven or eight years old, and who is even more nudged by slaves, and does not listen to his mother at all.

As for grandmother Yunyun, although she is old, she has no status, because the Central Plains should be respected and even engraved into the bones of this cultural circle of traditions, there is no such concept in the local area, but the elderly, especially the elderly women, because of the reduction of labor efficiency, gradually become a burden, and the status is extremely low.

Gan Yingxiu was very stingy with the eldest grandmother in the family, and liked to chat with her every time she went, and even carried Wu Qiong, the interpreter, to become the daughter of the old woman, and the two often sent some good things.

These are clearly recorded in the appeasement excerpt written by Gan Yingxiu.

Hearing Lu Ning's question at this time, Gan Yingxiu sighed softly in her heart and said, "It's still the same, it seems that this family is full of holes, and decline is inevitable." ”

In front of the Son of Heaven, she would not show pity for the old woman and say anything.

In fact, she entered the deep palace since she was a child, and she was an orphan, so she lost contact with the outside world, Gan Guifei gave her surname, and also pity her for occasionally calling her to talk, but Gan Guifei is a high-ranking housewife in her eyes, and every time this kind of narration is a kind of torment for her.

However, this old woman is very wise, although she respects Qi people very much, but after getting along a few times, she gradually opens her heart, and when chatting with Gan Yingxiu, sometimes Gan Yingxiu feels that this old grandmother is her own relatives, and even secretly chatted with some sincere words, these words will not be easily confided in Master Li and Xu Dongdong, after all, even if the three of them are like sisters, but because of their identity, it is impossible to chat without scruples.

It's just that no matter what, she can't speak for the old woman in front of the Son of Heaven, not to mention, Gan Yingxiu doesn't know how to help her.

Lu Ning glanced at Gan Yingxiu and said, "This Vaisha, take me to see it later." ”

Gan Yingxiu was slightly stunned and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
