"I see. This means that although time has passed, the way Jews are organized has not changed. There is no difference in the tactics they use when facing different rulers. So, even if times have changed and the old hatred has actually passed, they will still use the same way to create the same new hatred. Joanna leaned back in the carriage and seemed to understand.

"That makes sense. It seems that you can't just look at the present of other people. She sighed with emotion: "No wonder my brother always says that I read too little......"

"It's nothing. But because I need to write a script, I read more of these messy materials. Odosia explained.

"You're welcome." Joanna said helplessly: "To be honest, you are a little too modest. On weekdays, don't the people around you think it's too strange? You don't look like a normal Roman girl, but like a Central Plainsman......"

"Then I'll just think you're complimenting me." Odosia laughed.

"It's not that simple. Many of our businessmen think that the people of the Central Plains are cruel and cunning guys. Joanna told her: "When these people talk to you, they are always polite, making you feel that they seem to be weak in heart and have no confidence." But if you believe it and try to take advantage of the opportunity to put pressure on them to find the minimum conditions they can be forced to accept, it is easy to trigger their overreactions, causing both sides to tear their faces apart, and even lead to disaster. ”

"This side is still preparing to continue to negotiate a price increase, and they have already decided that you don't want to talk at all, and are ready to just flip the table and do it. I've seen this kind of thing more than once in my family. You're always like this, and everyone around you can probably be scared by you. ”

"You're thinking too much, and it's not so exaggerated." Odosia laughed, "Not all places, like your industry, have to compete with others at any time. It doesn't make a difference to my environment. ”

Joanna stopped talking, not looking convinced, but she didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a moment, he could only continue the previous topic.

"I have always believed that there were many wise men in the court of the Roman Khan." She said, "These things you know, their professionals should know too, right?" So why don't they bother with it? ”

"I've traveled in France and Italy, and the cities and territories in those places have basically conventional rules that restrict Jewish behavior. In countries like France, there are special laws that regulate this. She gave an example, "This is the most common situation for us, even in the Celestial Sect world. ”

"Along the lines you just said, we need to look at what the Jews and the Romans have done over the millennium in order to explain why there are Jews here and no autonomous communities for them. But I feel that the changes here must have happened after the establishment of the Roman Khanate. The commonalities that were difficult to change for the previous 2,000 years have changed here. I can't really remember what the reason is. ”

"In order to do business here, I also studied the current laws of Rome." She shared her experience: "Compared with the previous dynasties, they have made a great simplification and deleted all these religious-related restrictions. ”

"If, according to our experience, in such an indulgent environment, the Jewish religious power should have grown rapidly and spread everywhere, and the priests would have caused trouble everywhere. Why is it the other way around? I don't even hear that they, like the ancient Romans, sent troops to suppress and expel these people. To be honest, the last thing I understand is here. ”

"That's because you don't know the Han people well enough." Odosia understood it very well.

"Han Chinese...... Oh, you mean the Central Plains people...... That is, the Khitans, right? Joanna nodded: "My brother reads those books every day, and I have dealt with them, so I should still know a little about them, right?" ”

"Actually, it's not accurate, the Han people today are not conceptually the Han people of a hundred years ago - or the Khitans. Their scope has exceeded the Central Plains, including the Khitans and the people of the barbarian kingdom back then. But...... The changes here are also very complex, and it is impossible to explain them in a few words. Odosia explained two sentences, but still gave up: "I probably know that there are these concepts in culture." Except for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, no one else will generally discuss this issue with you. ”

"Why do Ming Dynasty officials care about this......" Joanna muttered, realizing that she was far away, and turned back and continued to ask, "What did they do?" ”

"They didn't do anything directly, but their system locked up the possibility of Jewish power." "Because they were the first civilization ever to achieve theocracy," said Eudosia. ”

"Both Herod and Augustus were still at the level of appointing high priests, and there was no way to combine government and religion, let alone control all the high priests. But in the East, it seems like an introductory course. ”

"I have heard that when the Mongols first rose, Genghis Khan used to use the great prestige of the 'Heavenly Witches'. This pagan sorcerer is said to have the power of prophecy and can convey the will of the gods. She went on to give an example: "The steppe people are generally very superstitious, and these tribal wizards have a lot of influence, so after winning the support of Kuokuo and others, Genghis Khan also received a lot of help, and even his Khan name was given to him by Kuo Kuo at the ceremony." ”

"But after the rudiments of the state were established, the breadth and breadth swelled day by day. His following grew rapidly and his fame grew, and it is said that people from nine languages came to him. He and his followers openly rallied on Genghis Khan's own pastures, and intervened in the internal conflicts of the Golden Family, humiliating the Great Khan's brothers and fighting over their people. ”

Genghis Khan originally made a lot of concessions to him, but when it came time to fight for the people and challenge the authority of the Great Khan, he acted quickly and personally ordered his younger brother to take the opportunity to do it, and directly killed Kuokuo Kuo. Since then, no wizard has dared to challenge the Great Khan again. ”

"In the East, tribes such as the Mongols are considered to be the most culturally backward places. Their official system, administrative structure, etc., even the Han people may not be able to copy well. But even they have the basic consciousness of 'forbidding theocracy over monarchy', as if this is some kind of instinct deep in the bloodline. ”

"This kind of environment is completely different from ours here." She shook her head.
