Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Fried meat cakes, if you like, you can come and eat them every day, and each one costs a penny." Xu Sheng took the two of them to the supply point, "The ten pieces we picked up at the bank before can buy one million each The kind of cake that Zhang just ate, but generally if you order for a year, there will be a discount."

Novika and Saqqara were all shocked, and instantly understood the so-called large currency. One million meat pies that they ate before, this kind of soldier is considered a reward for their soldiers.

"What are you doing with so much money?" Saqqara's background allowed him to clearly understand the value of the coins. After a comparison, he understood how much money Xu Sheng took before. It was not a small amount of money.

"Welcome. After all, General Gan's return is a good thing. You must have a good meal." Xu Sheng said as a matter of course. Sakala and Novika couldn't understand the connection between returning and eating well. For the banquet, there is no need for these brains and Gan Ning to spend so much money.

"There are almost 40,000 people in total. If you eat a good meal, there are vegetables and meat. If you cook it yourself, the average cost per person is about 25 yuan. However, this kind of large-scale purchase of meat and vegetables, You can only buy it here." Xu Sheng explained to the two of them while walking inside, a special place to buy, and by the way, there is a large cold storage for storing ice underground.

"Let's have 50,000 catties of meat first, and I'll order any fresh vegetables recently." Xu Sheng's shopping is also in that rather casual way, "Fish is fine, just order less."

Donglai is a place close to the sea, especially after the opening of Lujia Shipyard, Chen Xi, with the idea of ​​developing local industries, encourages local fishermen to buy boats for offshore fishing, while doing a lot of infrastructure construction, and develops a large number of fish that can improve Time-saving technical storage technology, such as salted fish, canned salted fish, dried salted fish, salted fish fillets and so on.

As a Chinese, it would be a shame not to develop a hundred ways to eat marine fish. With the investment of a large number of ships and large-scale fishing, the cost of fishing for large ships has plummeted. Fish eating in Donglai is about to become a reality. A living atmosphere has been created, and fish prices have been falling all the way.

In other words, if Chen Xi hadn't built a logistics channel here, the government would collect the fish and stabilize the price, and the four-generation ship would pull more than ten tons of fish back at a time, Donglai would have been caught by this group of people long ago. The fish was covered.

That's why Xu Sheng would ask the store if he wanted to make meat pies out of fish again, because the fishing industry in Donglai is really crazy now, but then again, no matter how crazy, in the face of the Han Dynasty A country that puts food first is useless.

In Chen Xi's words, since there are still many people in the Central Plains who have never eaten fish and shrimp, these free meat in the sea should be fished up for the people of the Central Plains to add to their meals!

It's not the 1.4 billion people in the future, and there is no problem of overfishing. Let go of fishing. With such a technology and such a human investment, no matter how much fishing is done, it will not be enough for the vast Central Plains people behind.

There is not enough meat, eggs and milk, how to improve the physical fitness of the people in the Central Plains, since other meats are still unable to meet the standards, let’s take the fish first, after all, no matter how bad the fish is, it is more important than food in this respect There are many spectrums.

Under this premise, there may still be people in many places who have not eaten this food, but Donglai has enough fish and meat, and it is not a joke to derive hundreds of ways to eat it. Of course, no matter what It's delicious, and it really changes the taste if you eat it every day.

So long before the coastal people got tired of eating these fish, Chen Xi had barely completed the circulation of materials from various places. Otherwise, the meat and vegetables that Xu Sheng needed today would be enough to raise the market price in Donglai.

Xu Sheng's words are not complicated, but weights and measures are different things. They don't know how much Xu Sheng said. Although they mentioned 40,000 people, they didn't think much about it. To be precise, until now, They also thought that Xu Sheng was just preparing to entertain them.

After all, in Guishuang's caste system, ordinary soldiers are basically low-caste sudras, and people of this level are slaves in the eyes of high-caste people, and they are not worthy of rewards at all.

By the way, this class has the largest population, basically accounting for 80% of the total population. However, due to the habit of the caste system, when counting heads, it is generally only counted as the first three classes, and sometimes even the third class is not counted. There are 1.4 billion Indians, 200 million people.

Of course, compared with later generations, this era is more frenzied. In the eyes of high castes, Sudras are not human beings at all, they are directly slaves. Buddhism seizes the opportunity to preach in Sudras, hoping to make Sudras think that this life is suffering, and then Convert to Buddhism to practice afterlife.

However, in the caste system, Sudras do not have an afterlife. After death, they will return to Brahma, become the feet of Brahma, and become a part of the gods. It may take a long time for people to think.

But for Sudra, this is still a matter of thinking, of course it is to become a part of the gods, the afterlife is so vain, after I die, I will become the feet of Brahma, how wonderful, there will be no humbleness at that time To put it bluntly, the feet of the gods!

The life of Sudra is very bitter, and Buddhism has a good way of calming the mind. This is why Buddhism has always believed that it has a great advantage in the face of the caste system during this period. .

Don't guess the thinking mode at the bottom of the caste system, you can't guess it at all.

The four surnames are equal, we need it very much, ah, this is indeed our pursuit, well, I decided to believe in your Buddhism.

What, what does Buddhism say to reincarnate, so that we can't become a part of Lord Brahma, next life, go to your next life, I don't need the next life, I only need this life, let me return to Brahma after death, I want Become a part of Brahma, Buddhist Kneel!

This is also the reason why Buddhism was very popular in India for a while, but the Buddhism that emphasized equality did not do caste system in the end, because Sudra said, I do pursue equality, but I pursue equality more than pursuing equality. After I die, I become a part of Brahma!

Compared with equality, an ideal that is not very important to realize or not, after all, it has been like this for thousands of years, and it can be lived like this if it is not realized later.

But if I believe in Buddhism, I will not be able to become the foot of Brahma after death, and be with Brahma, then I will not die, so for Sudras, Buddhism or something, they are the most general believers, but Kshatriya Ah, Brahmins may be brainwashed by Buddhism.

However, from the very beginning, Buddhism did not choose Brahmans and Kshatriyas. After all, Buddhism emphasizes equality. Most can't do that.

There is basically no such thing as personal confrontation with class. Even a wise man like Gautama Siddhartha’s initial goal was only the rise of the Kshatriya, safeguarding the interests of the Kshatriya class, and curbing the absolute power of the Brahmin class. It can only be said that he went far in the later period, saw more, and became enlightened.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the stability of the caste system is still reliable. If it really evolves into culture, the rule of the upper class of the caste system is still very reliable. As for Buddhism, it can only be said that the caste system absorbs power in it, and cannot break the lower class. Caste's recognition of their own cultural heritage, then in essence they are at most pan-believers.

To be more precise, the power of the Buddha, for these low castes, I am afraid it can only be said to be a proof for coveting the high castes. None of them.

On the contrary, Hinduism has penetrated into the culture, and there is no way to cure it. Even in later generations, the lower castes still strongly identify with their own identities.

In short, this is a very strange situation, so for the soldiers of Guishuang, they have no rewards. They are essentially slaves of Brahmins and Kshatriyas. Naturally, the children of slaves are still slaves, and everything that belongs to slaves belongs to the master. , including the slave itself.

However, when the truckloads of people brought the meat out of the ice storage in the ground, Sakala and Novika were stunned. This scale is a treat for dinner. What a joke, it costs tens of thousands of people. Only then can we finish eating.

But speaking of tens of thousands of people, Sakala and Novika looked at each other...

"General Xu, are you going to give a banquet to our subordinates?" Novika asked with a frown. How can I say this kind of thing? I have never experienced it. How can a slave give a reward without doing anything? If you do, will these slaves still be obedient in the future?

"Of course, our habit here is that when a newcomer arrives, or welcomes a recruit, or other things, you have to treat someone to a meal first." Xu Sheng said naturally, Chinese culture, don't care about his old friend, New friends, when we meet, don't talk about anything else, I'll take you to dinner first.

Even if it is a military camp, new recruits report, veterans gather, and when they return to various places after training, they will eat. Chinese culture, let’s talk about it after eating!

"Uh, what else is there to say?" Sakala was a little hesitant. They also understood the principle of "doing as the Romans do in the Romans", but how should I put it, this is too different from their customs there.

"How could you not say that!" Xu Sheng said naturally, can he not eat? In the past, when we were poor, old friends would treat us to a meal, not to mention that now that we are rich and the army is converging, how can we not provide a good meal for the soldiers under our command? After a meal, celebrate and celebrate, suppress the shock.
