Memorandum of the Meeting (II)

How do you pack an elephant in the freezer? The first step is to open the refrigerator door, the second step is to bring the elephant in, and the third step is to come out and close the refrigerator door.

It's a joke, but it's also the core template for all planned solutions.

When the elephant is obedient enough and the refrigerator is big enough, even a small child can do it perfectly.

When the refrigerator is just an ordinary household refrigerator, it is naturally impossible for a normal elephant to fit into this refrigerator.

Now Zhao Shouzhong, who likes to debate, discussed the topic thrown by Li Ji with all the people who traveled through it.

"We have to consider all the circumstances to be ready to respond to the ever-changing. The world is not as variable as the information age, and as long as there are enough plans, all our plans can be perfectly realized. ”

"Elephants are valuable in the fridge, it's a deep topic! The first step opens the door, which can be regarded as the preparation and breakthrough for the solution of all problems, the second step can be regarded as the process and means of solving the problem, and the third step can be regarded as the finishing work to solve the hidden dangers. Let's talk about the refrigerator or the elephant first? ”

"Let's talk about refrigerators first! Preparations should also be classified! ”

"We won't discuss the fact that the refrigerator is bigger than the elephant, let's only discuss how to classify the difficulty of the refrigerator being smaller than the elephant!"

"Personally, I think that the size of the refrigerator than the elephant also depends on the situation. Can a conceptual refrigerator fit a real-life elephant? What's the difference between this and the map? If you want to solve a demand-driven problem, you have to have a refrigerator. There are many stupid people in history who are crazy enough to become naked emperors, and it is not an isolated case. ”

"You're talking about the kind of people who deceive themselves and steal their ears! We're certainly not those people. However, it would be good to prevent the leaders of future generations from doing so. ”

"It's impossible for a normal person to put an elephant in the refrigerator. But scientists and philosophers don't think so. Biologists will wonder if the elephant will not be just born of a Borneo dwarf elephant a hundred-pound baby, stuffed into a double-door refrigerator is possible. Paleontologists would think that this elephant didn't define a species. Is it the primitive elephant of ancient times that is as small as a rabbit? Chemists may want to use dehydrating agents to reduce the size of elephants by 80 percent, and then crush them and dismember them and stuff them in the refrigerator. Physicists would use shrinking light to make elephants smaller and stuff them into refrigerators, or make a large enough freezer. Mathematicians, linguists, logicians, philosophers would say that the elephant is already inside the refrigerator because it defines the space inside the refrigerator as the outside and the space outside as the inside.

So what we're going to do is make the refrigerator big and sturdy enough, and then make the elephant small enough to be obedient. That way things are simple. ”

"Lao Bai is right, there is no need to discuss too much. We have enough time and means to solve all the world's problems, and we are not black-hearted capitalists and politicians who make profits by making and solving problems. We are traversal. Nothing is as important to us as it is to enter the interstellar age. The solution to India's problems is simple. As long as the Indian people are not forced to rebel, give them a few passages to the upper echelons, and break the shackles of the hereditary hierarchy of Brahmins. They will provide everything we need. ”

"The elephants in India are not as united as they were in the British era. Our fridge wasn't as cramped as the one in the British Isles, so the problem was easy to solve. The point is to create a divided semi-colonial ensemble (cows subordinate to the Papal States) like the Holy Roman Empire, or a unified Grand Viceroyalty? ”

"Personally, I think it should be made into a viceroyalty, because the later India was a highly decentralized federation with a high degree of autonomy among the states. Its level of centralization has not yet caught up with the early Western Han Dynasty (before Emperor Wu introduced the Tui'en Order). This is very detrimental to economic development. The abolition of these states will never have the same impact as the elimination of the nationally conscious princely states by later generations of England. India is still a divided country with many countries. It's been a long time since the previous great unification dynasty. There was basically no will from the upper echelons to unify the empire, and the degree of feudalization and centralization of power in all the states was very low. We find that all Brahmins have little actual need to establish a unity. The Brahmins and Kshatriyas everywhere were largely content with the status quo, with no prospect of a greater unified Hinduism and empire.

Under such a premise, it is unrealistic for us to directly help a single state to unify India, so our best way is to use the existing Kshatriya class's thirst for power and wealth to eliminate the Brahmins, and to establish a set of upper and lower channels similar to the Chinese imperial examination and a spiritual system unified under the banner of Buddhism in a unified war or revolution, so as to eliminate the elements of division in India at the root.

No matter how good the customs union is, it cannot compare with the domestic business and logistics environment within a country. We can also get the maximum economic benefits in the process of reunification - India's resources will be in our hands in the process. Liu Xin was a staunch supporter of the annexation of all Indian states to create a colony similar to that of British India.

"Raise your hand now to vote in favor of Liu Xin's reunification plan." After Li Ji finished speaking, he raised his hand.

"I'm okay with that!" Bai Jia also raised her hand.

The traversal unanimously approved Liu Xin's opinion. A timeline for the second step of the plan to digest India within ten years was determined. The first step was to lay a few nails, and the plan ended perfectly. The second step is to gradually learn from the British and penetrate all areas of India. Cultivating a large number of leading parties and agents in various sectors and industries; Thus controlling all economic, political, military, cultural, and religious vital points and lifelines.

The most classic of the just-concluded war against the Chola State was not the blitzkrieg on its capital, but the finishing work after the First World War was settled. The pre-prepared list of targeted harvesters was like the playing card wanted list in the American Empire, and the strategy was diversified against the local Kshatriya feudal lords and Brahmin religious leaders who had significant influence. Those who knew the times took away their military, executive, and legislative and judicial powers, and gave them more land and wealth, while those who did not want to submit to the empire were exterminated physically and mentally (what is the matter with spiritual annihilation?). Let's see how many people know about Ran Min and Yang Zhu. As long as there is no propaganda and nostalgia, a person is not remembered, and he disappears in the universe of the whole human spirit).

In a month's time. These conservative diehards will completely disappear from everyone's sight and mind. Their popular prestige has been completely destroyed by the propaganda teams sent by the Empire, and they are neither immortal nor stinking for thousands of years. Their sense of existence has all been wiped out by the brutal brainwashing propaganda of the New Life Movement. Nitrate-made frenzy and a large surplus of grain bought people's hearts more than all gods and miracles, and the power of clean drinking water filtration towers and miraculous basic roving medical teams scattered throughout every settlement was far more powerful than the authority of the Brahmins.

The turmoil and vacancies caused by the purge at the top were quickly resolved by the elite of the indigenous aristocracy. A large number of young children of the nobility were sent on passenger ships to study abroad. South Indian society has undergone drastic changes, with a large number of idle agricultural workers hired by abundant commodities to build roads and ports, and countless untouchable people who could only do menial and dirty work have become important propaganda models. Because these originally impoverished families entered the imperial mercenary system, they could get the equivalent of a brahmin in income and living standards every month. A full-time job as a garbage cleaner at the dock earns 200 yuan a year, which can be exchanged for enough rice and flour for 20 vegetarian people for a year in the cheap local goods market (Indians eat less because of the hot climate). Moreover, the empire's dragon yuan can buy high-end industrial manufactured goods that can only be imported, and thanks to the scissors difference and monopoly, the purchasing power of the dragon yuan is extremely amazing. The use of dragon dollars in the procurement of local goods can get a purchasing power premium of three times that of the same precious metal. ）

From this point of view, it is evident that the power of Lord Mani surpasses that of Brahma and Shiva. With the top being bought and the bottom having hope, what else could threaten the expansion and ruling order of the empire in the whole of South India?

Note: The untouchables are untouchables, and the caste system is a generic term for a complex Indian hierarchy (including the Varna system and the Jati system from which it was later derived) in ancient Chinese texts. Xuanzang once translated it as the clan surname system. In the West, this system in India is usually referred to as the karst system. It sprouted in the early Vedic era and officially arose in the later Vedic era. Originally, the Aryans called themselves "Aryan Varna" (Aryan means "noble" and Varna means "color" and "quality"), and the local inhabitants were called "Dasavana" (meaning "male" or "man"). Thus there is a distinction between the Aryans, who consider themselves noble, and those who treat the local population as hostile groups.

With the division within the Aryans, at the end of the early Vedic era, the distinction between commoners and clan nobility gradually took place. Commoners were called "Vaishyas" (meaning members of the clan). The nobility was called "Rajania" (which means "scorching heat" and by extension, it means a noble chief). The nobles of the clan who engaged in the sacrificial sweeps were called "brahmins" (meaning born of Brahma). From the Aryans to the local population split in two. To the Aryan tribes the division of the commoners into the clan nobility and the division of the military nobility into the priestly nobility within the nobility, thus forming the embryos of the four varnas.

Four-varna system

By the late Vedic era, the four-varna system was formalized, and the Brahmanical texts laid down the status of each varna and the different rights and duties of the members of the different varnas.

The first varna is a brahmin. Brahmins are mainly in charge of religious rituals and serve as priests at different levels. Some of them are also involved in politics and enjoy a great deal of political power.

The second varna is a Kshatriya (meaning "force", "power"). It developed from "Rojania". The basic occupation of the Kshatriyas was to act as a warrior. Kings generally still belong to Kshatrivarna, but Kshatrivarna is not limited to kings and royal families. Kshatriyas are the ranks that hold military and political power.

The third varna is Vaishya. The Vaishyas were mainly engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, and commerce, and some of them became wealthy and became usurers. Vaishyas were commoners, had no political privileges, and had to provide for Brahmins and Kshatriyas, who were completely unproductive in the form of alms (donations) and taxes. However, the Vaishyas were also members of the commune of the Aryan clans, and they could participate in the religious rites of the commune, so they belonged to the same "reborn tribe" as the Brahmins and Kshatriyas.

The fourth varna is the Sudra. The predecessor of the Shudravana was Dasavana, and the Shudra was not within the Aryan commune. Most of the Shudras were also non-Aryans, including Aryans who had lost their membership in the Commune. Since they were not members of the commune, could not participate in religious ceremonies, and could not receive a second life (religious life), the Shudras were non-regenerate. The right to be protected politically, legally, religiously, etc. is lost. The Shudras engaged in farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, and other occupations that were considered lowly at the time, and some of them lost their means of production and became hired laborers or even slaves. The Shudra, as a varna, is not a slave or a dasa. A Shudra is a person of low status who suffers.

And the lower position of Dalit is lower than that of Shudra, which translates in Hindi as: "the oppressed one".

India still had a caste system at the beginning of the 21st century, in which the lowest strata were called "untouchables", i.e. untouchables, by the traditional upper castes, and they themselves called themselves "oppressed", i.e. Dalits. Today, in some conservative rural India, you will see people who walk away from people because they can't let their shadow fall on passers-by. What's more, some people carry brooms and sweep away their footprints as they go. They work for the people of the village, but they are not allowed to live in the village; They are not allowed to fetch water from the village wells, and even if they can go to school, their children have to attend specialized schools. What notorious about the Hindu caste system is its caste segregation, and the harshest segregation is imposed on people known as Dalits. Traditionally, Dalits were considered dirty, and this filth could be transmitted to others through contact, so they kept it away. Although Mahatma Gandhi called them "sons of God", the traditional upper castes called them "untouchables", i.e., untouchables, while they called themselves "oppressed people", i.e., Dalits. This is the darkest shadow of India's history. (To be continued......)
