Chapter 2032 Inside and outside the palace (circle [-]) just to help you
Unlike Gao Yushi who was smiling, Liu Xin was very serious this time, and said slowly and firmly: "Prevent the belief of the Mughal royal family from taking root and spreading widely in the local area."
Gao Wushi restrained his smile when he heard the words, nodded after thinking for a while and said, "Yes, this is indeed worthy of attention."
The belief of the Mughal royal family is not a problem in itself, but it is easy to become extreme, fanatical, politicized, and secretive under certain circumstances, which in turn poses a serious threat to secular rule, and it is easy to come up with corrupt beliefs. The state system, which is highly pragmatic as an atheist, is difficult to tolerate.
As for why Liu Xin is also very sensitive to it, it is mostly because of her perception in her previous life that it is difficult to improve with the progress of the times in terms of oppressing women, so it is better to control its spread as soon as possible.
However, after pondering for a while, Gao Wushi had new doubts. He frowned and said, "The belief of the Mughal royal family needs to be suppressed. I can accept this, but what about the local Hinduism?"
"Hinduism?" Liu Xin asked in a daze, "It seems to have something to do with Buddhism?"
"There are origins, but they are completely different things." Gao Wushi showed a look of disgust, and said, "I see that you don't know much about Hinduism, but I will give you a brief introduction and you will know my attitude - the caste system."
"Oh, the caste system! Once you talk about the caste system, I'll understand." Liu Xin suddenly realized, and then she also revealed a look of disgust, frowning and commented: "I really hate dogs."
After a short pause, Gao Wushi asked, "Have you ever heard of the Hindu "Manu Code"?"
Liu Xin thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it. Is it the Indian's Code of Hammurabi?"
Gao Yushi snorted softly: "The status and influence of the two in their birthplaces may be comparable, but in my opinion, it is really true to compare the Code of Manu with the Code of Hammurabi. What an insult to Hammurabi."
Liu Xin asked in surprise, "Why? What's wrong with this "Manu Code"?"
"Ha, it's more than just a 'bad place'. If I were to say that this "Manu Code" was a person, it would have sores on the head and pus on the soles of the feet-it's so bad. So I think it's the most suitable evaluation It’s just four words: the root of all evil.”
It was the first time Liu Xin heard Gao Wuyu comment on something in such a disgusted tone, especially when the other party was a legal code.She couldn't help being quite shocked, and asked: "What is written in this code that makes you so disgusted?"
Gao Wushi let out a foul breath, and said: "India has experienced several social forms since ancient times, but the caste system has continued and has become the ruling tool of its exploiting classes in the past. In order to maintain this system, Indian slave owners formulated There are many laws, the most typical of which is the "Code of Manu."
"I can understand the tools of oppression. I mean, are there any anti-human things?" Liu Xin asked with wide-eyed eyes.
"In a nutshell, this is a law code designed to exploit slaves and squeeze the people. It preaches that people are unequal from birth. Therefore, people of different castes have completely different rights and obligations. It is not so much a It is not a legal code, but a lie used to deceive the people."
Gao Yushi said coldly: "This "Manu Code" firstly confirmed the status of Brahmin as the ruler of the world, and all other castes served Brahmin. Then, different laws were formulated according to different levels. Lower castes cannot treat higher castes. Any disrespect."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "The caste system, I've heard about it."
"Judging from your unchanging expression, you have heard a little bit at most, but you don't know the inside story at all." Gao Wushi shook his head.
Liu Xin laughed dryly, and said, "It's true that I didn't pay much attention to the affairs of India back then, and occasionally I heard some anecdotes about India...the negative ones."
"Then I really want to introduce you to the source of all evil." Gao Yushi said: "In this code, the cruel criminal law is a completely unequal constraint on people of lower castes. The lower the caste, the higher the punishment." Heavy, by no means everyone is created equal.
For example, if Kshatriya and Sudra insulted a Brahmin at the same time, Kshatriya would only need to be fined 100 panas, while Sudra would pour hot oil into his mouth as a punishment. "
Liu Xin frowned, but it seemed that she hadn't broken the bottom line of her expectations, so she simply concluded: "Strict hierarchy and harsh physical punishment—is there any more?"
"Of course there are. For example, if a person of a lower caste hurts a person of a higher caste with a certain part of his body, that part of the limb must be cut off. And even if a person of a higher caste kills a person of a lower caste like Sudra, he can only kill a person of a lower caste. It needs to be paid in livestock, such as a cow. Sometimes it can be even simpler, just cleanse yourself."
"Uh, this point is really behind Daming now, at least the law of Daming doesn't allow masters to kill slaves at will." Liu Xin said.
Gao Wushi snorted softly, and said, "It's not just that, the "Manu Code" also made corresponding regulations on the basic necessities of life of different castes. For example, people of different castes cannot stay in the same room, eat at the same table, or even eat at the same table. They drink from the same well, and intermarriage between different castes is not allowed. In short, it is to make the division of castes permanent.
People of each caste have their own organization, which handles internal affairs and supervises the compliance of people of this caste with the "Manu Code".
People who are expelled from caste are Dalits, also known as Dalits.They can only engage in the most menial occupations, such as carrying dead bodies and cleaning up excrement.Walking on the road, you have to wear special signs, and even make special sounds or knock on some utensils in your mouth to remind people of high caste to avoid them in time.Because the "Manu Code" believes that contacting untouchables is an extremely bad thing for people. "
Liu Xin showed pity, and sighed: "The Indians are really unlucky. But I really don't understand how this so-called "Code" was concocted, and it can be enforced for a long time without being overthrown?"
"If you want to ask this question, you have to talk about the migration of the Aryans first." Gao Wushi said, "Have you heard of the Aryans?"
Liu Xin thought for a while, and said uncertainly, "I remember that Hitler seemed to say that the Germans were descendants of the Aryans? But generally speaking, I don't know much about the Aryans."
"I don't need to talk about the Aryans in detail." Gao Yushi said: "In short, around 2000 BC, the Aryans migrated from Central Asia to India and conquered the local indigenous people. Created a caste system.
Initially, there were only two castes: Aryan Varna and Dasa Varna.The former is the conqueror, the latter the conquered.Later, due to the inequality of power and rich and poor, different levels of division appeared again, and this led to the four major castes.
You should know these four castes, right?That is, the group of monks who hold the power of national sacrifices becomes the first-level Brahmans; the armed group that controls the administrative and military power of the country becomes the second-level Kshatriya; the general members of the Aryan society become the third-level Vaishya; The local aborigines who conquered became the fourth level Sudra.
As for the untouchables, that is to say, Dalits, as I have already said, they are not even included in the "level", they are regarded as expelled from human status, and are not treated as human beings at all.How low is it?Even when walking, you have to be careful, for fear that your shadow will touch others. "
"I do know about the four major castes, but it's the first time I've heard of the Vaishya as an ordinary member of the Aryan society." Liu Xin felt that she had gained a little knowledge today, and said, "So everything is What did the Aryans do?"
"It's not over yet." Gao Wushi said: "After entering the feudal era, in order to consolidate the privileges of the high caste, the privileged class tried to use the 'God's will' to fix the actual status of the caste. Ever since, the monk group made up a According to the myth, when the original man Pulusha—a god of Brahmanism—was divided by the gods, his mouth became a Brahman, his arms became a Kshatriya, and his legs became a Vaisya. ; The feet became Sudras.
But they felt that myths alone were not enough, so the monks compiled the "Manu Code" under the guise of divine will, which clearly stipulated that Brahmins are the most noble people, and everything in the world belongs to them; As a result, they naturally became the lowest caste. They have no right to participate in religious life, nor can they be involved in military affairs. They can only work like slaves for a lifetime. "
In this way, differences in social status, marriage, education, rights and duties between the four major castes arise.According to the provisions of the "Manu Code", Brahmins are in charge of education and sacrifices, and have the right to interpret religion and enjoy the power of offering; Kshatriya is in charge of military affairs, has the power to levy taxes, and at the same time shoulders the task of protecting Brahmins; these two castes are privileged class.
Vaisyas are ordinary Aryan people. They have no privileges, but they can engage in business, farming, lending and other occupations, and at the same time they have to support Brahmans and Kshatriyas; Sudras, as conquered natives, can only live their lives without complaint Serving high caste. "
Liu Xin reminded: "I just asked why such a bad system can be implemented for a long time..."
"Don't worry." Gao Wushi said: "You guessed right, with the continuous development of the social economy, the gap between the rich and the poor has further widened, and there has indeed been confusion among various occupations, but...you underestimated the Brahmins at that time.
After the Brahmins discovered these situations, they immediately further "optimized" the "Manu Code", stipulating that if a high caste lives in "poverty", it is possible to engage in a low caste occupation, but a person of a low caste is absolutely not allowed to engage in a high caste occupation .
After the appearance of 'Jati', the occupations of Vaishya and Sudra were further restricted, and they could only engage in hereditary occupations.In other words, if his ancestors were from the low caste of carpenters, then his descendants will only be carpenters forever.
Hey, Daming has turned the clock back in history in terms of social class mobility, but ordinary people still have the chance to get ahead in the imperial examinations, at least in name..."
"Hiss...wait a minute, I have an idea, I don't know if it's right." Liu Xin thought about it and said, "Can this practice of Brahmans be regarded as an evolutionary version of the hard-core crops of Manchu Bannermen?"
Gao Wushi sneered, and said: "Yes, these Brahmins have a few tricks. They changed it like this, it is really better than Manqing's. You think, Manchu Bannermen can only serve as soldiers or Officials can't do business, and they don't farm. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were not so many banner soldiers. Therefore, once the banner people's family fortunes fell, they became completely waste snacks and social garbage.
But Brahmins are different. Guess what it means for high castes to be backward compatible? "
Liu Xin shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Gao Wushi said: "Then I'm going to talk about a topic that you must be very concerned about - marriage."
"Why do you say that I must be very concerned?" Liu Xin pouted, showing a dissatisfied expression, but seeing that Gao Wushi smiled but refused to continue, she still couldn't help being curious and asked, "What's wrong with the marriage?"
Gao Wushi showed an expression of "I knew it", and smiled, but immediately became serious, and said, "Remind you, be mentally prepared first."
Liu Xin rolled his eyes at him and said, "I know, I know, let's talk."
Gao Yushi said: "In India, people of different castes are prohibited from intermarriage, because it will make the caste impure, but how can love be restricted by legal documents, so there have been many love stories between different castes for thousands of years. .Of course, most of these love affairs ended in tragedy."
Liu Xin hurriedly said: "You don't need to give an example, I don't want to hear it."
"Hahahaha, it's okay, I don't give examples." Gao Yushi waved his hand, and said: "But marriage is only limited to within the same caste, which will cause another problem, that is, the privileged people in the high caste are actually divided into genders. Although high-caste women have a higher social status than lower-caste people—both men and women—they still have a lower status in front of men of the same caste.
So what would a privileged man of an upper caste do if he wasn't content to choose a wife and concubine from among his caste?Therefore, the "Manu Code" also stipulates "successful marriage" and "reverse marriage".
The so-called "cis marriage" means that men of high caste can marry women of low caste, so that the desires of these people can be satisfied, and the social status of high castes will not be confused due to mixed blood.
At this time, in order to improve their social status, low-caste families will scramble to marry their daughters to high-caste men. At the same time, they often have to pay high dowry, which leads to the phenomenon of murdering their wives for dowry. "
"It's an out-and-out evil law!" Liu Xin was so angry that her eyebrows stood on end, but she had another question: "Wait...why did you kill your wife?"
"Didn't I just say that there are many high-caste men who may have fallen into poverty and only have a high-caste identity and surname left, so they need the high dowry brought by low-caste wives to maintain a decent life. But When the dowry is used up no matter how much it is, what if the dowry is used up? Kill your wife and marry again, earn another dowry and continue to enjoy yourself.”
Liu Xin was so angry that she slapped the table and said through gritted teeth, "Shameless, shameless! This kind of scum deserves to be hacked into pieces, any less is a crime!"
Gao Wushi sighed and shook his head slightly: "Who will kill it?"
Liu Xin was probably also dizzy with anger, and said, "Those low-caste men are also useless, so why can't they come up with some promising ones and hook up with a few high-caste women to raise their eyebrows?"
"Although this kind of thing is rare, it does happen very rarely. It's just... this is the so-called 'reverse marriage'." Gao Wushi curled his lips: "This 'reverse marriage' means a man of a lower caste marrying a man of a higher caste. For a woman, this kind of situation is almost impossible to happen, and the "Manu Code" is only specifically stated to avoid this kind of situation.
In fact, if a man of a lower caste really dared to propose to a woman of a higher caste, it would not be an inevitable beating, but he would probably be beaten to death on the spot.And the fact that a high caste woman marries a low caste man... is usually not a question of whether the woman wants to or not.
Not to mention that she herself will be deprived of her high-caste status, and her family will regard this as a great family shame, and then her father or brother will probably beat her to death regardless of blood relatives, or even tragically Tortured to death in order to maintain the family name and status. "
"I'm so pissed off! These people are really inhumane. What sins did Indian women do in their previous lives to be oppressed and bullied like this..." Liu Xin was so angry that her blood welled up and her face turned red.
But Gao Wushi seemed to think that Liu Xin was not stimulated enough, and said: "Women are oppressed? That's not only that, the "Manu Code" also stipulates a lot of rules for women. Such as child marriage, dowry, Sati system, etc. Wait.
For example, child marriage, when this thing develops to its peak, girls will be fixed for marriage when they are one or two years old, and they will officially go through the door.Even if her husband dies, the girl must remain a widow for the rest of her life, otherwise she will be considered unclean.
Ordinary women must have a dowry when they get married. Hinduism claims that the more dowry, the happier the god.It is not uncommon for those who have a small dowry to be disliked by their husbands after getting married, and even suffer domestic violence. "
Liu Xin was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, and finally asked with staring eyes: "Why is there no rebellion here? Don't Indians have any blood at all!"
"This is about education." Gao Yushi sighed: "Among the four major castes, the Sudras, the lowest, have no right to participate in religious life, they are only qualified to wash the feet of people of higher castes in religious ceremonies.
According to the provisions of the "Manu Code", if Sudra dares to eavesdrop on the Vedas (sacred scriptures), his ears will be filled with tin and wax; if he dares to read the Vedas, his tongue will be cut off; That's even worse, the body must be split in half.
Don't think that this seems to be just a religious matter. In fact, it is related to the right to education, because in this religiously prosperous country, Indians' learning begins with studying religious scriptures.Sudras don't even have the right to learn, so how can they be expected to show how much intelligence they have?
The best educational resources are in the hands of high-caste Indians. Even if low-caste people are lucky, such as being slaves in a high-caste family for generations, and have the opportunity to receive a little education, they only stop at knowing a few big characters to the extend.Without ideological emancipation, there will never be a precondition for overthrowing oppression. "
Gao Wushi spread his hands: "There is another point, you are too angry now, you may not be able to notice... You might as well think about it, why is this "Manu Code" so obsessed with bullying women?"
Liu Xin was startled, frowned and said, "Isn't it just to satisfy the animal desire?"
"Uh, that's true, but it's definitely not that simple." Gao Wushi shook his head forcefully, and said, "Actually, the purpose of the Manu Code is to prevent Indians from rebelling."
Liu Xin's eyes widened: "What's the point? Bullying women is to keep Indians from rebelling? What's the bullshit relationship between the two?"
Judging from the words used, Liu Xin was indeed very angry.
But Gao Wushi was very serious, and said: "Of course it has something to do. Even if the Indians want to rebel, in this cold weapon era, it is only possible for men to rebel, right?
Then you think about it, no matter how much humiliation and bullying a low-caste Indian man has received from a high-caste, they can at least vent this resentment on women of his same caste.
In this way, even if their anger is not completely smooth, at least more than half of it is smooth, so they don't have to risk their lives to rebel?In addition, the education they received from childhood to adulthood is "God's will", and they are all submissive...
The whole society has this kind of atmosphere, and they don't have independent thinking, so why don't they just vent out by bullying women, and then let it go, even Ah Q, do you still feel that you are amazing? "
Liu Xin was so angry that she almost lost her breath.She pinched the center of her brows hard, but still felt that her breath was not going well. She simply stared at Gao Yushi's eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "When will Jinghua launch a full-scale attack on India, I must go there in person! I don't want to be a coach." , but I have to go... Do you agree?"
Gao Wushi wondered: "But you are the secretary-general, if you leave..."
"I can't be the secretary-general of Jinghua for the rest of my life." Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "In short, I must go to India to meet those 'noble' Brahmins in person, so that these bastards can open their eyes wide and take a good look. Do women deserve to be bullied by nature?"
Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said: "Since you are so persistent, I can't stop it. I will let you go then."
"When a gentleman says something, it's hard to chase after a horse. You can't go back on your word." Liu Xin said immediately.
"Of course I won't go back on my word, but..." Gao Wushi rubbed his chin: "Since you attach so much importance to it, then you need to worry more about the plan of the Southern Xinjiang Expedition.
When the time comes, I will let Zhiting sit in Dingnan and take care of the logistics for you.As for Yuan'er, speaking of which, you are still the teacher who enlightened him, so I just put him by your side to continue studying, what do you think? "
When he said this, Liu Xin finally came to his senses and looked at Gao Yushi with malicious intentions: "Are you plotting against me?"
Gao Wushi looked innocent: "Look, how do you say that, I..."
"You, you, you deliberately angered me with the tragic experience of Indian women, you just want me to go to India to lead troops, right? Ha, of course, the key is to let me teach Yuan'er everything, and help you train a successor people, huh?"
Gao Wushi rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile: "Don't say it so harshly, am I also thinking about your grand ideal of liberating women? How come you say that I just want to take advantage of you? I am this kind of person ?"
"Yo, isn't it?" Liu Xin has now completely turned the corner, and said angrily: "I see that you bullied my wife and me, and your method is no worse than that of a Brahmin. A pair of unlucky best friends who have children for you If it’s not enough, you’ll have to work for nothing for the rest of your life, and even work for your son in the end…”
Liu Xin couldn't help giving him a blank look, and said, "Hmph, I brought up the wrong Yuan'er, and I have to settle this account with you."
Gao Wushi smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, there are a lot of Secretary-General... Then, let's forget about it this time, right?"
Liu Xin turned her head away and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
The dialogue just now was naturally a bit flirtatious, and it can be regarded as a little bit of interest in the life of husband and wife. The high pragmatism is naturally intentional, so why not Liu Xin?
Liu Xin just said that Gao Yuan was actually brought up by her alone. This sentence is by no means a joke, but an absolutely true fact.
Gao Yushi has always been very busy. Even when he is at home, he can only test Gao Yuan every few days. It is obviously unrealistic to expect him to have time to teach his son bit by bit.Not to mention Huang Zhiting, she will not spend more than two months in the capital every year at most, and spends the rest of the time in Dingnan City sitting in southern Xinjiang, so she has no chance to "bring up" Gao Yuan.
Therefore, Liu Xin can not only be counted as Gao Yuan's actual "guardian", but also really became Gao Yuan's first teacher, personally enlightening him.
Later, Gao Wushi recruited Gao Yuan's two first-year-olds, Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan, to teach him to study, and he also recruited three of his disciples, Li Tingji, Ye Xianggao, and Fang Congzhe, to help him from time to time. The important positions of Xiao and Wang "substitutes" made Gao Yuan's teacher group extraordinarily luxurious.
However, even at this time, Liu Xin, the "tutor", has not "leaved".The first five "Chinese studies" skills are naturally the first-class level in the world, but if you want to talk about some other knowledge that Gao Pragmatic values, it must be Liu Xin.
For example, mathematics, physics and chemistry, except for him who is highly pragmatic, I am afraid that no one in this world can compare with Liu Xin—at least in terms of "complete knowledge system", Liu Xin deserves to be the best candidate.As for geography, let alone, no one can compare to her in high pragmatism.
With this kind of knowledge, especially the knowledge of geography, Liu Xin's military accomplishments are naturally extraordinary, and she is really an excellent teacher candidate for Gao Yuan's growth.Gao Wushi had an idea a long time ago, thinking that if Gao Yuan inherits the southern border and needs to have the experience of personally commanding soldiers, then it would be more suitable for Liu Xin to take him than Huang Zhiting's biological mother.
After all...it is indeed easy to have a loving mother in the social atmosphere these days, and there is an old saying that "a loving mother often loses children", so Gao Yushi has to be vigilant.
Previously, Gao Yushi asked Gao Yuan to go to southern Xinjiang first, but asked Huang Zhiting to go one month later. In fact, there were such considerations in it.It's just that it's inconvenient to say this clearly after all, it's for Gao Yuan to better establish his personal authority, and to prevent Huang Zhiting from thinking wildly.
Well now, because Liu Xin was highly pragmatic and worried that Jinghua's aggressiveness would have nowhere to release, she took the initiative to mention that she could consider attacking India.Gao Wushi immediately seized the opportunity and used some ideals she had buried in her heart as bait to arouse her anger at the bullying of women by the privileged class in India, and then asked to lead the crusade.
In this way, the high-level structure of the Southern Xinjiang Expedition can be said to be perfect.
For the sake of her son, Huang Zhiting will undoubtedly do a seamless job in logistics and supplies.At the same time, because Liu Xin is in charge of the frontline army, she doesn't have to worry about her son's lack of experience and intervening remotely, which reduces the possibility of accidents.
As for Liu Xin, based on her hatred of the "Manu Code", she will definitely ask herself to fight this battle well. Only by beating those damn Brahmins and Kshatriyas without temper can she relieve her hatred .
In this way, Liu Xin's subjective initiative can be brought into full play... Uh, after all, she is not as "ideal" as Gao Yushi in this era, and she is usually a bit too Buddhist.
In addition, the relationship between Liu Xin and Gao Yuan is indeed unusual.From Liu Xin's point of view, although Gao Yuan was not her own child, she was the one who brought her up, and she also has a teacher-student relationship. Her hopes for Gao Yuan are not insignificant.
From Gao Yuan's point of view, although Liu Xin is not his own mother, his feelings are probably not inferior to his own mother's. His feelings for Liu Xin can be described as close and respectful.
Gao Yushi said that Liu Xin should "bring" Gao Yuan, but in fact there are some things that need not be explained clearly.For example, how are the positions in the military arranged?Of course it is "Tang style" - that is, Gao Yuan is named as the commander, and Liu Xin is actually in charge of the army as the deputy commander.
But this is the most suitable status of Liu Xin, because if it is another deputy commander—for example, Gao Yu, his military exploits and qualifications are certainly enough, but whether Gao Yuan will respect him from the bottom of his heart? But it's really hard to say.
After all, no matter how great Gao Yu's contribution was, no matter how high his status in southern Xinjiang was, his status in the Gao family, or in Gao Yuan's eyes, was probably just "father's servant" in the final analysis.
Gao Yuan may still be able to maintain due respect for Gao Yuan at ordinary times, but if something happens, such as Gao Yuan and his views in an important battle are contrary, will Gao Yuan show his identity as the young master? It is difficult to force Gao Yu to accept his order. No one can guarantee such a thing.
However, the person who will be the deputy commander is Liu Xin, so there is no need to worry about Gao Yuan and the deputy commander being at odds.In terms of intimacy, Liu Xin is his aunt; in terms of affection, Liu Xin single-handedly brought him up; in terms of talent, Liu Xin is his teacher.
If Gao Yuan dared to disrespect Liu Xin, then even Gao Yushi had to seriously consider whether the eldest son was suitable to be the heir in terms of character.
"In short, the plan can't keep up with the changes. Originally, I only wanted to win Arakan first. The Mughal Empire still needs to see the situation. But the fire inside Jinghua can't be vented, so I had to take the Mughal Empire." The Son Empire is under the knife."
Gao Wushi sighed, and said, "But as you said, the Brahmins in India did commit serious crimes, while the Mughal Empire did not—and did not attempt to change.
Jinghua's future Western Expedition can be seen as a kind of liberation for the local people, especially for the local women... No matter what system we adopt in India in the future, it will be better than the cannibalism under the current "Manu Code" The system is much better, and we don't have to have any psychological burden. "
Liu Xin glanced at him in surprise, and said, "What are you worried about? I don't have as much emotion as you about leading troops in battle. War is war, and it is the conquest of the weak by the strong. As for the liberation of Indian women, that's just me. Personal thoughts, but have nothing to do with the war itself.
In essence, I actually agree more with the phrase 'self-help is always saved'.The Indians themselves have no intention of saving themselves, and they may not appreciate it when I go to save them, so why should I be so affectionate.So, you don't have to worry about my anxiety about not being a teacher... As I said just now, the biggest reason I do things in this world is to help you. "
Gao Wushi was speechless, he took Liu Xin into his arms and said, "Thank you."
Liu Xin buried her head in his arms, but said uncooperatively, "Don't say thank you."
Gao Wushi smiled, stroked her hair, and whispered: "Okay, I won't talk about it from now on."

(End of this chapter)
Unlike Gao Yushi who was smiling, Liu Xin was very serious this time, and said slowly and firmly: "Prevent the belief of the Mughal royal family from taking root and spreading widely in the local area."
Gao Wushi restrained his smile when he heard the words, nodded after thinking for a while and said, "Yes, this is indeed worthy of attention."
The belief of the Mughal royal family is not a problem in itself, but it is easy to become extreme, fanatical, politicized, and secretive under certain circumstances, which in turn poses a serious threat to secular rule, and it is easy to come up with corrupt beliefs. The state system, which is highly pragmatic as an atheist, is difficult to tolerate.
As for why Liu Xin is also very sensitive to it, it is mostly because of her perception in her previous life that it is difficult to improve with the progress of the times in terms of oppressing women, so it is better to control its spread as soon as possible.
However, after pondering for a while, Gao Wushi had new doubts. He frowned and said, "The belief of the Mughal royal family needs to be suppressed. I can accept this, but what about the local Hinduism?"
"Hinduism?" Liu Xin asked in a daze, "It seems to have something to do with Buddhism?"
"There are origins, but they are completely different things." Gao Wushi showed a look of disgust, and said, "I see that you don't know much about Hinduism, but I will give you a brief introduction and you will know my attitude - the caste system."
"Oh, the caste system! Once you talk about the caste system, I'll understand." Liu Xin suddenly realized, and then she also revealed a look of disgust, frowning and commented: "I really hate dogs."
After a short pause, Gao Wushi asked, "Have you ever heard of the Hindu "Manu Code"?"
Liu Xin thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it. Is it the Indian's Code of Hammurabi?"
Gao Yushi snorted softly: "The status and influence of the two in their birthplaces may be comparable, but in my opinion, it is really true to compare the Code of Manu with the Code of Hammurabi. What an insult to Hammurabi."
Liu Xin asked in surprise, "Why? What's wrong with this "Manu Code"?"
"Ha, it's more than just a 'bad place'. If I were to say that this "Manu Code" was a person, it would have sores on the head and pus on the soles of the feet-it's so bad. So I think it's the most suitable evaluation It’s just four words: the root of all evil.”
It was the first time Liu Xin heard Gao Wuyu comment on something in such a disgusted tone, especially when the other party was a legal code.She couldn't help being quite shocked, and asked: "What is written in this code that makes you so disgusted?"
Gao Wushi let out a foul breath, and said: "India has experienced several social forms since ancient times, but the caste system has continued and has become the ruling tool of its exploiting classes in the past. In order to maintain this system, Indian slave owners formulated There are many laws, the most typical of which is the "Code of Manu."
"I can understand the tools of oppression. I mean, are there any anti-human things?" Liu Xin asked with wide-eyed eyes.
"In a nutshell, this is a law code designed to exploit slaves and squeeze the people. It preaches that people are unequal from birth. Therefore, people of different castes have completely different rights and obligations. It is not so much a It is not a legal code, but a lie used to deceive the people."
Gao Yushi said coldly: "This "Manu Code" firstly confirmed the status of Brahmin as the ruler of the world, and all other castes served Brahmin. Then, different laws were formulated according to different levels. Lower castes cannot treat higher castes. Any disrespect."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "The caste system, I've heard about it."
"Judging from your unchanging expression, you have heard a little bit at most, but you don't know the inside story at all." Gao Wushi shook his head.
Liu Xin laughed dryly, and said, "It's true that I didn't pay much attention to the affairs of India back then, and occasionally I heard some anecdotes about India...the negative ones."
"Then I really want to introduce you to the source of all evil." Gao Yushi said: "In this code, the cruel criminal law is a completely unequal constraint on people of lower castes. The lower the caste, the higher the punishment." Heavy, by no means everyone is created equal.
For example, if Kshatriya and Sudra insulted a Brahmin at the same time, Kshatriya would only need to be fined 100 panas, while Sudra would pour hot oil into his mouth as a punishment. "
Liu Xin frowned, but it seemed that she hadn't broken the bottom line of her expectations, so she simply concluded: "Strict hierarchy and harsh physical punishment—is there any more?"
"Of course there are. For example, if a person of a lower caste hurts a person of a higher caste with a certain part of his body, that part of the limb must be cut off. And even if a person of a higher caste kills a person of a lower caste like Sudra, he can only kill a person of a lower caste. It needs to be paid in livestock, such as a cow. Sometimes it can be even simpler, just cleanse yourself."
"Uh, this point is really behind Daming now, at least the law of Daming doesn't allow masters to kill slaves at will." Liu Xin said.
Gao Wushi snorted softly, and said, "It's not just that, the "Manu Code" also made corresponding regulations on the basic necessities of life of different castes. For example, people of different castes cannot stay in the same room, eat at the same table, or even eat at the same table. They drink from the same well, and intermarriage between different castes is not allowed. In short, it is to make the division of castes permanent.
People of each caste have their own organization, which handles internal affairs and supervises the compliance of people of this caste with the "Manu Code".
People who are expelled from caste are Dalits, also known as Dalits.They can only engage in the most menial occupations, such as carrying dead bodies and cleaning up excrement.Walking on the road, you have to wear special signs, and even make special sounds or knock on some utensils in your mouth to remind people of high caste to avoid them in time.Because the "Manu Code" believes that contacting untouchables is an extremely bad thing for people. "
Liu Xin showed pity, and sighed: "The Indians are really unlucky. But I really don't understand how this so-called "Code" was concocted, and it can be enforced for a long time without being overthrown?"
"If you want to ask this question, you have to talk about the migration of the Aryans first." Gao Wushi said, "Have you heard of the Aryans?"
Liu Xin thought for a while, and said uncertainly, "I remember that Hitler seemed to say that the Germans were descendants of the Aryans? But generally speaking, I don't know much about the Aryans."
"I don't need to talk about the Aryans in detail." Gao Yushi said: "In short, around 2000 BC, the Aryans migrated from Central Asia to India and conquered the local indigenous people. Created a caste system.
Initially, there were only two castes: Aryan Varna and Dasa Varna.The former is the conqueror, the latter the conquered.Later, due to the inequality of power and rich and poor, different levels of division appeared again, and this led to the four major castes.
You should know these four castes, right?That is, the group of monks who hold the power of national sacrifices becomes the first-level Brahmans; the armed group that controls the administrative and military power of the country becomes the second-level Kshatriya; the general members of the Aryan society become the third-level Vaishya; The local aborigines who conquered became the fourth level Sudra.
As for the untouchables, that is to say, Dalits, as I have already said, they are not even included in the "level", they are regarded as expelled from human status, and are not treated as human beings at all.How low is it?Even when walking, you have to be careful, for fear that your shadow will touch others. "
"I do know about the four major castes, but it's the first time I've heard of the Vaishya as an ordinary member of the Aryan society." Liu Xin felt that she had gained a little knowledge today, and said, "So everything is What did the Aryans do?"
"It's not over yet." Gao Wushi said: "After entering the feudal era, in order to consolidate the privileges of the high caste, the privileged class tried to use the 'God's will' to fix the actual status of the caste. Ever since, the monk group made up a According to the myth, when the original man Pulusha—a god of Brahmanism—was divided by the gods, his mouth became a Brahman, his arms became a Kshatriya, and his legs became a Vaisya. ; The feet became Sudras.
But they felt that myths alone were not enough, so the monks compiled the "Manu Code" under the guise of divine will, which clearly stipulated that Brahmins are the most noble people, and everything in the world belongs to them; As a result, they naturally became the lowest caste. They have no right to participate in religious life, nor can they be involved in military affairs. They can only work like slaves for a lifetime. "
In this way, differences in social status, marriage, education, rights and duties between the four major castes arise.According to the provisions of the "Manu Code", Brahmins are in charge of education and sacrifices, and have the right to interpret religion and enjoy the power of offering; Kshatriya is in charge of military affairs, has the power to levy taxes, and at the same time shoulders the task of protecting Brahmins; these two castes are privileged class.
Vaisyas are ordinary Aryan people. They have no privileges, but they can engage in business, farming, lending and other occupations, and at the same time they have to support Brahmans and Kshatriyas; Sudras, as conquered natives, can only live their lives without complaint Serving high caste. "
Liu Xin reminded: "I just asked why such a bad system can be implemented for a long time..."
"Don't worry." Gao Wushi said: "You guessed right, with the continuous development of the social economy, the gap between the rich and the poor has further widened, and there has indeed been confusion among various occupations, but...you underestimated the Brahmins at that time.
After the Brahmins discovered these situations, they immediately further "optimized" the "Manu Code", stipulating that if a high caste lives in "poverty", it is possible to engage in a low caste occupation, but a person of a low caste is absolutely not allowed to engage in a high caste occupation .
After the appearance of 'Jati', the occupations of Vaishya and Sudra were further restricted, and they could only engage in hereditary occupations.In other words, if his ancestors were from the low caste of carpenters, then his descendants will only be carpenters forever.
Hey, Daming has turned the clock back in history in terms of social class mobility, but ordinary people still have the chance to get ahead in the imperial examinations, at least in name..."
"Hiss...wait a minute, I have an idea, I don't know if it's right." Liu Xin thought about it and said, "Can this practice of Brahmans be regarded as an evolutionary version of the hard-core crops of Manchu Bannermen?"
Gao Wushi sneered, and said: "Yes, these Brahmins have a few tricks. They changed it like this, it is really better than Manqing's. You think, Manchu Bannermen can only serve as soldiers or Officials can't do business, and they don't farm. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were not so many banner soldiers. Therefore, once the banner people's family fortunes fell, they became completely waste snacks and social garbage.
But Brahmins are different. Guess what it means for high castes to be backward compatible? "
Liu Xin shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Gao Wushi said: "Then I'm going to talk about a topic that you must be very concerned about - marriage."
"Why do you say that I must be very concerned?" Liu Xin pouted, showing a dissatisfied expression, but seeing that Gao Wushi smiled but refused to continue, she still couldn't help being curious and asked, "What's wrong with the marriage?"
Gao Wushi showed an expression of "I knew it", and smiled, but immediately became serious, and said, "Remind you, be mentally prepared first."
Liu Xin rolled his eyes at him and said, "I know, I know, let's talk."
Gao Yushi said: "In India, people of different castes are prohibited from intermarriage, because it will make the caste impure, but how can love be restricted by legal documents, so there have been many love stories between different castes for thousands of years. .Of course, most of these love affairs ended in tragedy."
Liu Xin hurriedly said: "You don't need to give an example, I don't want to hear it."
"Hahahaha, it's okay, I don't give examples." Gao Yushi waved his hand, and said: "But marriage is only limited to within the same caste, which will cause another problem, that is, the privileged people in the high caste are actually divided into genders. Although high-caste women have a higher social status than lower-caste people—both men and women—they still have a lower status in front of men of the same caste.
So what would a privileged man of an upper caste do if he wasn't content to choose a wife and concubine from among his caste?Therefore, the "Manu Code" also stipulates "successful marriage" and "reverse marriage".
The so-called "cis marriage" means that men of high caste can marry women of low caste, so that the desires of these people can be satisfied, and the social status of high castes will not be confused due to mixed blood.
At this time, in order to improve their social status, low-caste families will scramble to marry their daughters to high-caste men. At the same time, they often have to pay high dowry, which leads to the phenomenon of murdering their wives for dowry. "
"It's an out-and-out evil law!" Liu Xin was so angry that her eyebrows stood on end, but she had another question: "Wait...why did you kill your wife?"
"Didn't I just say that there are many high-caste men who may have fallen into poverty and only have a high-caste identity and surname left, so they need the high dowry brought by low-caste wives to maintain a decent life. But When the dowry is used up no matter how much it is, what if the dowry is used up? Kill your wife and marry again, earn another dowry and continue to enjoy yourself.”
Liu Xin was so angry that she slapped the table and said through gritted teeth, "Shameless, shameless! This kind of scum deserves to be hacked into pieces, any less is a crime!"
Gao Wushi sighed and shook his head slightly: "Who will kill it?"
Liu Xin was probably also dizzy with anger, and said, "Those low-caste men are also useless, so why can't they come up with some promising ones and hook up with a few high-caste women to raise their eyebrows?"
"Although this kind of thing is rare, it does happen very rarely. It's just... this is the so-called 'reverse marriage'." Gao Wushi curled his lips: "This 'reverse marriage' means a man of a lower caste marrying a man of a higher caste. For a woman, this kind of situation is almost impossible to happen, and the "Manu Code" is only specifically stated to avoid this kind of situation.
In fact, if a man of a lower caste really dared to propose to a woman of a higher caste, it would not be an inevitable beating, but he would probably be beaten to death on the spot.And the fact that a high caste woman marries a low caste man... is usually not a question of whether the woman wants to or not.
Not to mention that she herself will be deprived of her high-caste status, and her family will regard this as a great family shame, and then her father or brother will probably beat her to death regardless of blood relatives, or even tragically Tortured to death in order to maintain the family name and status. "
"I'm so pissed off! These people are really inhumane. What sins did Indian women do in their previous lives to be oppressed and bullied like this..." Liu Xin was so angry that her blood welled up and her face turned red.
But Gao Wushi seemed to think that Liu Xin was not stimulated enough, and said: "Women are oppressed? That's not only that, the "Manu Code" also stipulates a lot of rules for women. Such as child marriage, dowry, Sati system, etc. Wait.
For example, child marriage, when this thing develops to its peak, girls will be fixed for marriage when they are one or two years old, and they will officially go through the door.Even if her husband dies, the girl must remain a widow for the rest of her life, otherwise she will be considered unclean.
Ordinary women must have a dowry when they get married. Hinduism claims that the more dowry, the happier the god.It is not uncommon for those who have a small dowry to be disliked by their husbands after getting married, and even suffer domestic violence. "
Liu Xin was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, and finally asked with staring eyes: "Why is there no rebellion here? Don't Indians have any blood at all!"
"This is about education." Gao Yushi sighed: "Among the four major castes, the Sudras, the lowest, have no right to participate in religious life, they are only qualified to wash the feet of people of higher castes in religious ceremonies.
According to the provisions of the "Manu Code", if Sudra dares to eavesdrop on the Vedas (sacred scriptures), his ears will be filled with tin and wax; if he dares to read the Vedas, his tongue will be cut off; That's even worse, the body must be split in half.
Don't think that this seems to be just a religious matter. In fact, it is related to the right to education, because in this religiously prosperous country, Indians' learning begins with studying religious scriptures.Sudras don't even have the right to learn, so how can they be expected to show how much intelligence they have?
The best educational resources are in the hands of high-caste Indians. Even if low-caste people are lucky, such as being slaves in a high-caste family for generations, and have the opportunity to receive a little education, they only stop at knowing a few big characters to the extend.Without ideological emancipation, there will never be a precondition for overthrowing oppression. "
Gao Wushi spread his hands: "There is another point, you are too angry now, you may not be able to notice... You might as well think about it, why is this "Manu Code" so obsessed with bullying women?"
Liu Xin was startled, frowned and said, "Isn't it just to satisfy the animal desire?"
"Uh, that's true, but it's definitely not that simple." Gao Wushi shook his head forcefully, and said, "Actually, the purpose of the Manu Code is to prevent Indians from rebelling."
Liu Xin's eyes widened: "What's the point? Bullying women is to keep Indians from rebelling? What's the bullshit relationship between the two?"
Judging from the words used, Liu Xin was indeed very angry.
But Gao Wushi was very serious, and said: "Of course it has something to do. Even if the Indians want to rebel, in this cold weapon era, it is only possible for men to rebel, right?
Then you think about it, no matter how much humiliation and bullying a low-caste Indian man has received from a high-caste, they can at least vent this resentment on women of his same caste.
In this way, even if their anger is not completely smooth, at least more than half of it is smooth, so they don't have to risk their lives to rebel?In addition, the education they received from childhood to adulthood is "God's will", and they are all submissive...
The whole society has this kind of atmosphere, and they don't have independent thinking, so why don't they just vent out by bullying women, and then let it go, even Ah Q, do you still feel that you are amazing? "
Liu Xin was so angry that she almost lost her breath.She pinched the center of her brows hard, but still felt that her breath was not going well. She simply stared at Gao Yushi's eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "When will Jinghua launch a full-scale attack on India, I must go there in person! I don't want to be a coach." , but I have to go... Do you agree?"
Gao Wushi wondered: "But you are the secretary-general, if you leave..."
"I can't be the secretary-general of Jinghua for the rest of my life." Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "In short, I must go to India to meet those 'noble' Brahmins in person, so that these bastards can open their eyes wide and take a good look. Do women deserve to be bullied by nature?"
Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said: "Since you are so persistent, I can't stop it. I will let you go then."
"When a gentleman says something, it's hard to chase after a horse. You can't go back on your word." Liu Xin said immediately.
"Of course I won't go back on my word, but..." Gao Wushi rubbed his chin: "Since you attach so much importance to it, then you need to worry more about the plan of the Southern Xinjiang Expedition.
When the time comes, I will let Zhiting sit in Dingnan and take care of the logistics for you.As for Yuan'er, speaking of which, you are still the teacher who enlightened him, so I just put him by your side to continue studying, what do you think? "
When he said this, Liu Xin finally came to his senses and looked at Gao Yushi with malicious intentions: "Are you plotting against me?"
Gao Wushi looked innocent: "Look, how do you say that, I..."
"You, you, you deliberately angered me with the tragic experience of Indian women, you just want me to go to India to lead troops, right? Ha, of course, the key is to let me teach Yuan'er everything, and help you train a successor people, huh?"
Gao Wushi rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile: "Don't say it so harshly, am I also thinking about your grand ideal of liberating women? How come you say that I just want to take advantage of you? I am this kind of person ?"
"Yo, isn't it?" Liu Xin has now completely turned the corner, and said angrily: "I see that you bullied my wife and me, and your method is no worse than that of a Brahmin. A pair of unlucky best friends who have children for you If it’s not enough, you’ll have to work for nothing for the rest of your life, and even work for your son in the end…”
Liu Xin couldn't help giving him a blank look, and said, "Hmph, I brought up the wrong Yuan'er, and I have to settle this account with you."
Gao Wushi smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, there are a lot of Secretary-General... Then, let's forget about it this time, right?"
Liu Xin turned her head away and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
The dialogue just now was naturally a bit flirtatious, and it can be regarded as a little bit of interest in the life of husband and wife. The high pragmatism is naturally intentional, so why not Liu Xin?
Liu Xin just said that Gao Yuan was actually brought up by her alone. This sentence is by no means a joke, but an absolutely true fact.
Gao Yushi has always been very busy. Even when he is at home, he can only test Gao Yuan every few days. It is obviously unrealistic to expect him to have time to teach his son bit by bit.Not to mention Huang Zhiting, she will not spend more than two months in the capital every year at most, and spends the rest of the time in Dingnan City sitting in southern Xinjiang, so she has no chance to "bring up" Gao Yuan.
Therefore, Liu Xin can not only be counted as Gao Yuan's actual "guardian", but also really became Gao Yuan's first teacher, personally enlightening him.
Later, Gao Wushi recruited Gao Yuan's two first-year-olds, Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan, to teach him to study, and he also recruited three of his disciples, Li Tingji, Ye Xianggao, and Fang Congzhe, to help him from time to time. The important positions of Xiao and Wang "substitutes" made Gao Yuan's teacher group extraordinarily luxurious.
However, even at this time, Liu Xin, the "tutor", has not "leaved".The first five "Chinese studies" skills are naturally the first-class level in the world, but if you want to talk about some other knowledge that Gao Pragmatic values, it must be Liu Xin.
For example, mathematics, physics and chemistry, except for him who is highly pragmatic, I am afraid that no one in this world can compare with Liu Xin—at least in terms of "complete knowledge system", Liu Xin deserves to be the best candidate.As for geography, let alone, no one can compare to her in high pragmatism.
With this kind of knowledge, especially the knowledge of geography, Liu Xin's military accomplishments are naturally extraordinary, and she is really an excellent teacher candidate for Gao Yuan's growth.Gao Wushi had an idea a long time ago, thinking that if Gao Yuan inherits the southern border and needs to have the experience of personally commanding soldiers, then it would be more suitable for Liu Xin to take him than Huang Zhiting's biological mother.
After all...it is indeed easy to have a loving mother in the social atmosphere these days, and there is an old saying that "a loving mother often loses children", so Gao Yushi has to be vigilant.
Previously, Gao Yushi asked Gao Yuan to go to southern Xinjiang first, but asked Huang Zhiting to go one month later. In fact, there were such considerations in it.It's just that it's inconvenient to say this clearly after all, it's for Gao Yuan to better establish his personal authority, and to prevent Huang Zhiting from thinking wildly.
Well now, because Liu Xin was highly pragmatic and worried that Jinghua's aggressiveness would have nowhere to release, she took the initiative to mention that she could consider attacking India.Gao Wushi immediately seized the opportunity and used some ideals she had buried in her heart as bait to arouse her anger at the bullying of women by the privileged class in India, and then asked to lead the crusade.
In this way, the high-level structure of the Southern Xinjiang Expedition can be said to be perfect.
For the sake of her son, Huang Zhiting will undoubtedly do a seamless job in logistics and supplies.At the same time, because Liu Xin is in charge of the frontline army, she doesn't have to worry about her son's lack of experience and intervening remotely, which reduces the possibility of accidents.
As for Liu Xin, based on her hatred of the "Manu Code", she will definitely ask herself to fight this battle well. Only by beating those damn Brahmins and Kshatriyas without temper can she relieve her hatred .
In this way, Liu Xin's subjective initiative can be brought into full play... Uh, after all, she is not as "ideal" as Gao Yushi in this era, and she is usually a bit too Buddhist.
In addition, the relationship between Liu Xin and Gao Yuan is indeed unusual.From Liu Xin's point of view, although Gao Yuan was not her own child, she was the one who brought her up, and she also has a teacher-student relationship. Her hopes for Gao Yuan are not insignificant.
From Gao Yuan's point of view, although Liu Xin is not his own mother, his feelings are probably not inferior to his own mother's. His feelings for Liu Xin can be described as close and respectful.
Gao Yushi said that Liu Xin should "bring" Gao Yuan, but in fact there are some things that need not be explained clearly.For example, how are the positions in the military arranged?Of course it is "Tang style" - that is, Gao Yuan is named as the commander, and Liu Xin is actually in charge of the army as the deputy commander.
But this is the most suitable status of Liu Xin, because if it is another deputy commander—for example, Gao Yu, his military exploits and qualifications are certainly enough, but whether Gao Yuan will respect him from the bottom of his heart? But it's really hard to say.
After all, no matter how great Gao Yu's contribution was, no matter how high his status in southern Xinjiang was, his status in the Gao family, or in Gao Yuan's eyes, was probably just "father's servant" in the final analysis.
Gao Yuan may still be able to maintain due respect for Gao Yuan at ordinary times, but if something happens, such as Gao Yuan and his views in an important battle are contrary, will Gao Yuan show his identity as the young master? It is difficult to force Gao Yu to accept his order. No one can guarantee such a thing.
However, the person who will be the deputy commander is Liu Xin, so there is no need to worry about Gao Yuan and the deputy commander being at odds.In terms of intimacy, Liu Xin is his aunt; in terms of affection, Liu Xin single-handedly brought him up; in terms of talent, Liu Xin is his teacher.
If Gao Yuan dared to disrespect Liu Xin, then even Gao Yushi had to seriously consider whether the eldest son was suitable to be the heir in terms of character.
"In short, the plan can't keep up with the changes. Originally, I only wanted to win Arakan first. The Mughal Empire still needs to see the situation. But the fire inside Jinghua can't be vented, so I had to take the Mughal Empire." The Son Empire is under the knife."
Gao Wushi sighed, and said, "But as you said, the Brahmins in India did commit serious crimes, while the Mughal Empire did not—and did not attempt to change.
Jinghua's future Western Expedition can be seen as a kind of liberation for the local people, especially for the local women... No matter what system we adopt in India in the future, it will be better than the cannibalism under the current "Manu Code" The system is much better, and we don't have to have any psychological burden. "
Liu Xin glanced at him in surprise, and said, "What are you worried about? I don't have as much emotion as you about leading troops in battle. War is war, and it is the conquest of the weak by the strong. As for the liberation of Indian women, that's just me. Personal thoughts, but have nothing to do with the war itself.
In essence, I actually agree more with the phrase 'self-help is always saved'.The Indians themselves have no intention of saving themselves, and they may not appreciate it when I go to save them, so why should I be so affectionate.So, you don't have to worry about my anxiety about not being a teacher... As I said just now, the biggest reason I do things in this world is to help you. "
Gao Wushi was speechless, he took Liu Xin into his arms and said, "Thank you."
Liu Xin buried her head in his arms, but said uncooperatively, "Don't say thank you."
Gao Wushi smiled, stroked her hair, and whispered: "Okay, I won't talk about it from now on."
