Chapter 872: Four Statements (Plus for the Alliance Leader of "Water Under the Mountain")
Even in the 21st century, there is still a considerable market for the Western world's blood-only theory and aristocratic complex, and in Europe, this lord and that duke are still symbols of superiority.
The gulf between the common people and the aristocracy, though diluted by modern civilization, still influenced European values to a greater or lesser extent, let alone in the eleventh century.
Whether you are a noble bloodline or not not not only determines whether you are the son of a blacksmith or a descendant of a gardener, but also directly determines the fate of a person's life...... whether it is poor or rich; A warrior, or a coward.
......
In this context, the more Tang Yi pondered Song Zhuangyuan's tricks, the more special the damage, and the more he pondered, the more he wanted to be happy.
He really couldn't imagine that when the white poor man held his hoe high and shouted "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning?" "What is the picture of storming into the palace?
It is even more difficult to imagine where Europe will go without the rule of the aristocracy and theocracy?
......
————————
So, the question is, how to make the Roman commoners, who have a deep ingraine of aristocratic status and blood, accept these foreign ideas?
Hehe, there is no need for Song Zhuangyuan to teach Tang Yi.
The so-called political tricks, not to mention Tang Yi, a madman who is not a gentleman in the first place, can catch a county official in the Great Song Dynasty, or even carry a Confucian student, you can play with it.
The rule of benevolence, virtue, and etiquette in Confucianism is not something to be shown.
......
First of all, in the name of the Church, Tang Yi issued four statements to the entire city of Rome.
First.
The Song dynasty in the east did not want to invade Rome, on the contrary, they were messengers of the gods, who had come to save the Roman people from the tyrants.
In order to show the goodwill of the Song Dynasty, he decided to return Rome to the Romans and leave the fate to the people themselves - the Great Song Dynasty would help Rome restore the old glory of the Roman Empire and bring the House of Elders and the Council back to the Roman people;
Second.
In order to restore order in Rome as soon as possible and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous Rome, His Royal Highness the Messenger of Freedom and the Mad King of the Great Song Dynasty decided to divide the seven hills of the city of Rome into fourteen administrative regions.
Each region elects a number of officials who are loved and recognized by the people through the election of the people themselves.
They are:
There is a supreme administrator, named Rizheng.
There is a supreme magistrate, named Catcher.
There is a supreme officer, whose name is the main bookkeeper.
There are a number of order supervisors, called catchers.
The above personnel are provided by Da Song to serve the people.
......
Third.
A month later, the Church decided to hold a meeting in the northwest corner of the Roman Forum (the site of the former Colosseum) to hold a new public trial of the "blasphemer" Qi Xuefeng, and the new bishop Delip II would finally decide whether the original bishop's trial of Qi Xuefeng was fair.
......
Fourth.
His Royal Highness saw the embarrassment of the Roman people's lives, and also deeply felt the innocent harm caused to the Roman people in the war with the tyrant Henry IV.
In order to repent of this unintentional sin, the mad king decided to establish the "Confucius Institute" with the church at the southern end of the Roman Forum (the site of the original Pantheon), so that the brilliant culture of the East and the glory of God could shine together in Rome.
At the same time, before the college was built, the Confucius Hospital and the Confucius Sanatorium were set up in advance.
The hospital will provide advanced free medical care to the people of Rome; The sanatorium will take care of the elderly and children who have lost their homes in the war.
......

Are these four righteous enough?
If Tang Yi was a Roman civilian, he would have to be moved to cry and faint!
Let's not talk about the first one, the glory of old Rome was originally the pride of the Roman people, and the Great Song Dynasty did not invade Rome but return Rome to the Romans, which was enough to make everyone excited!
Of course, in addition to the excitement, they no longer cared whether Rome, which was returned by the Great Song Dynasty, was an empire or a republic.
......
For ordinary civilians, the most important thing is actually the second and fourth articles.
Second, the Romans elected their own regional magistrates and enforcers, which was equivalent to letting the Romans decide who would govern them.
The once high-ranking Roman officials were no longer the exclusive preserve of the aristocracy, but were likely familiar friends, elders, or even themselves......
The strong sense of participation and freedom makes all the people living at the bottom of the ladder look forward to it, and even full of hope for life.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately diluted the terrifying atmosphere caused by the capture of Rome by the Great Song army, and then the Romans began to be not even so afraid of the arrival of the Great Song people.
In this regard, Tang Yi could only spread his hands and put on a helpless expression:
"What have these Caucasians been suppressed?"
You must know that the imperial power is not lower than the county, the Lizheng, the patriarch's rule, and the administrative employment system, which is something that has been eliminated in China, and the result is that the Romans are happy like this.
Then if there is a imperial examination system and a military merit system...... Civilians can also be officials, or even prime ministers, and soldiers can be promoted to generals, so doesn't the Romans make a mistake?
Of course, the Romans were happy and forgot one thing, what a mercenary... The commission is out of the Great Song Dynasty. Obviously, the Romans did not understand the truth that eating people with short mouths and taking people with short hands.
With Da Song's salary, do you want to help Da Song say good things.... Is it possible?
....
There is also a fourth.
This is the most powerful of these four statements!
This is an improved version of Tang Yi's opening of the Academy by Song Zhen.
To put it bluntly, how easy is cultural invasion?
Thousands of years of languages have been spoken, thousands of years of writing have been written, and thousands of gods have been believed.
Why should you change your language, write your words, and believe what you say?
This point is not something that can be easily changed by Jin Ge Iron Horse and knife holder on the neck.
What to do? Easy to do!
Roundabout tactics, curves to save the country.
First of all. Tang Yi tied Sinology and the church together, first eliminating the natural sense of alienation.
As for Confucianism, Confucianism was taught in the church schools. How much does the priest's lecture on science in his class hurt the faith....
That should be a concern for the church.
...
Of course, this is not enough. Charities such as hospitals and hospices would further elevate the status of Confucius Institutes in the hearts of the Roman people.
For Roman civilians who could not even afford to eat, medical care was simply a luxury. To save them from their illness, Da Song should be more worthy of worship than God.
Tang Yi almost didn't doubt this.
Just look at the South America of later generations.
When the Spaniards and the Portuguese came to America together.
The Spaniards brought with them guns and conquests. As a result, the Native Americans, hung the heads of the Spaniards from the treetops.
The Portuguese, on the other hand, brought gifts and the mercy of God.
Outcome...
South America willingly has been exploited by Portugal for centuries! In the end, almost all of South America speaks Portuguese.
Tang Yi believes that if this trick is used well, there will be no difference between Europe and the Americas after the Great Voyage...
The difference is...
A few years later, Europe no longer believed in gods, but in Confucianism.
The language spoken and written will no longer be "West Sasax dialect" but Chinese!

(The so-called administrative employment system refers to the fact that in ancient China, the county-level government except for the county order, was a system of conscription and employment, and the essence of the arrest was not that of the state, but of the situation of conscription, and the wages were raised by the people themselves, rather than borne by the court.) )
This chapter is a bit small, only two thousand words.
I'm going to the hospital tomorrow and the update could still be late.
