Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 107 Yuus Magnus Noalikus (Leader MobiusRing Plus)

"You still want to add more!" Theodora also began to rub her forehead.

"Everyone is brainstorming." Guo Kang said modestly: "I only have one immature idea now, can you add 'Xia' to it?"

"Why add this?" Theodora asked.

"I've heard a saying." Guo Kang thought for a while and said, "Some people think that 'Xia Dynasty' is not what they call themselves, but what the people of Zhou called them."

"During the Shang Dynasty, there was a country called 'Tu Fang', which was very powerful and fought against merchants all the year round. This Tu Fang is probably the 'Xia Tu Fang' in the Book of Songs. 'Xia Tu Fang' means the world and the mortal world. , 'Fang' is a country. The so-called Xiatufang means 'a country on earth', which means almost the same as that of a 'secular city'."

"It means that the world and the world belong to them?" Theodora didn't want to talk about such a heretical topic, but after hearing this, she became curious: "I always thought it was an ordinary name, but I didn't expect the tone It's so big."

"At that time, everyone spoke loudly." Guo Kang pointed out: "The Shang Dynasty that replaced Xia was not called a 'Secular City' anymore. They were called 'Dayi Shang', and some were recorded as 'Tianyi Shang' .”

"What does that mean?" asked Theodora.

"Dayi is a big city, and it means the same thing as most of us." Guo Kang said, "Tianyi probably means... the city of God."

"The two of them are in the same group? Is it all accounted for by others?!" Theodora was speechless.

"Isn't this just right?" Guo Kang reminded: "You see, the Xia Dynasty was a secular city, and Rome was also a secular city, so Rome and Xia have the same origin. Zhou people collectively referred to various branches of 'Xia' as 'Zhu Xia'. It means that our Rome is also one of the Zhu Xia, but it's just a little farther away."

"It's all fine..." Theodora couldn't laugh or cry: "But is there any benefit?"

"Of course. You see, Xia means the mortal world. We can also use this to declare that Rome is Xia, Xia is the world, and the world is Rome." Guo Kang gave an example: "Using this 'Trinity' method, You don’t have to entangle with barbarians every day about what to claim or not to claim. There is no better legal principle than this.”

"That's not how the Trinity works..." Jeanne tried to interrupt him.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you know what it means. My level of theology is very poor, and I will ask Xiao Rangna to polish it later." Guo Kang said modestly.

"Don't look for her. Turn around and scare her..." Da Rangna hurriedly tried to stop him: "You should go to your Patriarch Wang."

"Him? His level of theological theory is not as good as mine." Guo Kang said helplessly: "He can help, so I won't go to anyone else."

"..."

"Today we just write down this idea. When we have time later, we will work on it slowly." Guo Kang pointed to the notebook: "As for you, I don't expect you to have any good ideas, but at least you have to put your mind right. Only then can the preparations for the Reformation be done well.”

"I really haven't heard of such a reform." Jeanne said frankly: "The most radical caller for church reform I know is that the church cannot monopolize the channel for believers to communicate with the Father, and that people can be as long as they have faith." Saved, probably to this extent..."

"I have talked with several religious authorities on this issue." Guo Kang said: "I think their reform ideas are wrong."

"In ancient times, humans and gods were mixed, and there were wizards everywhere among the people, who claimed to be able to communicate with the gods, which led to the proliferation of prostitution and disorder. Zhuanxu then ordered Chong and Li to standardize the order between heaven and earth and forbid the interaction between humans and gods. Disturbance, called 'Jedi Tiantong'."

"This is the first step in regulating the right to sacrifice, and it is also a necessary means to prohibit adultery. If they abolish the management of the church and let believers go to communicate with the heavenly father by themselves, wouldn't it be a return to the era before ignorance? ?” he questioned.

"Any organization will become corrupt after a long time, and it is normal for church management to have problems. At this time, of course, a better method should be used to replace it. Force the church to reform, and even build a better one to overthrow the previous church , aren’t they all feasible ideas?”

"In the end, because they couldn't manage it well, they just ignored it? What kind of reform is this? Then in the future, won't the prostitutes get out of control and the cults will run everywhere? What are they going to do?"

"I don't know about that. Maybe they just think it's a matter of belief, and they haven't thought about it that much." Jeanna shrugged: "You can ask little Jeanna to see what she thinks."

"I don't think it's so mysterious, it's a simple question of chaos and order." Guo Kang drew a line on the notebook: "You see, even in matters of belief, the barbarians always tend to chaos, while our Roman Empire , then of course the order should be chosen. This is why I said that a new group of saints is needed."

"I've read the records of saints in the past from the Niangniang Temple. There are quite a few, and they were chosen for some strange reasons. Some people were even canonized because they fought against Rome. Isn't this embarrassing?" Guo Kang shook his head: "Maybe the Greeks didn't care, and they didn't care about it at the time. But we Romans obviously can't continue like this."

"Some saints are no longer able to serve as representatives and role models for the Romans. We have to replace a group of better people."

"Then who do you think is better?" Theodora asked.

"Didn't we talk about the Xia Dynasty?" Guo Kang looked at the notebook: "Then let's add Dayu to it."

"Then what are you going to say?" Theodora had given up thinking, and could do whatever he wanted.

"Yu is his original name, Da is an honorific title, we translate it, it should be called 'The Great One Yu'. Well, let's call it Yuus Magnus..." Guo Kang said and wrote it down: " His main achievement was building water conservancy and solving the great flood in ancient times, so he was elected as the new dictator for life..."

"Wait, this has solved the flood, what about Noah?" Jeanna asked hurriedly.

"It doesn't have to be the same flood." Guo Kang said.

"But the topic of the two stories is fighting?" Theodora pointed out: "It's not that you can cover up the past by saying that they are from different eras."

"Our Rome is an agricultural civilization, which gradually rose from a small city-state relying on farming and war. If everyone was like Noah and ran away when they saw something, then Rome would be over." Guo Kang said: "So, Noah's spirit is too un-Roman."

"What Yu defeated was not only the flood, but also the hearts of the people. With so many people in the world, there must be many 'Noahs' among them, who everywhere declared that the flood was God's punishment and should not be disobeyed. If you believe them, China will be finished." Noah' is not a specific person, but a spirit, a fear, blindness and cowardice that exists in the depths of every human mind."

"Yu happened to be the nemesis of this kind of spirit. He shattered these depraved thoughts, and with his strong spirit and body, he achieved a great feat beyond ordinary people. He is just a failed god—or the son of a hero, but Overcame the most terrifying natural disaster." Guo Kang tapped the table vigorously: "Look, isn't this a very classic Greek hero? It's too wasteful to leave such a good prototype unused."

"I'll look for Li Xuanying again, and ask him to find some playwrights, and he must write well. Let's call it 'Conqueror of Noah's Spirit', or Noah Likus, it's so attractive—" Guo Kang became more enthusiastic , I started writing in a hurry, even regardless of the reactions of Theodora and others: "Well, the scriptures can also be explained in this way...Kick Noah out."
