"Jatili, my most respected sage... I have some suggestions and ideas regarding the compilation and dissemination of the kingdom's epic narrative, and the reorganization and assessment of the kingdom's priesthood. I would like to discuss it with you..."
After writing the letter to the commander of the Gyeonggi Army, Shulot first copied the content of the kingdom's analysis. On this basis, he wrote a letter to the chief minister Jatiri and the director of Shenqi Talaya. Reiwa Letters.
In a letter to Chief Jatiri, Shulot first asked about the progress of the kingdom's epic, which is to integrate the cultural consensus of the kingdom's tribes, or "establish a common ideology."
"My sage, hundreds of thousands of Tlaxcala tribes have moved into the kingdom and converted to the embrace of the main god... At present, the existing Mexica-Prepecha common epic must be continued to be extended and revised, and the Tlaxcala tribe The culture and heritage of the Kara people have incorporated the myths and legends of the God of Death from Mount Kailash... into the grand epic of the kingdom!"
"At the same time, for young Tlaxcala children and teenagers, community education shrines or academies must be established to be intensively trained by the kingdom's priests and warriors...so as to dilute the influence of the Cloud Snake inheritance and establish their sense of identity with the kingdom. !…”
"Of course, if the compilation and dissemination of the Kingdom's epic is to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it requires the unanimous singing and efforts of the chief priests, tribal narrators, bards, and college teachers! Those histories and records that are not conducive to the unity of the tribes can be revised appropriately. and erasure... And the paper-making workshops and printing workshops in the royal capital, and the piles of illustrated books and books printed day and night, are the sharp tools that unify the thoughts of all the people in the world!... Especially the simple and popular mythological pictures that go straight into people's hearts!..."
"Dear Sage! Your profound knowledge and understanding of cultural influence and ethnic shaping are far superior to those of the kingdom's priests! I can only leave this important work to you... and you and I The views are highly consistent! In the process of integrating all the tribes in the world and reshaping the descendants of the Jiao people, the creation of a series of cultural inheritance, historical poetry, narrative books... this series of grammar and narrative will be more important than the spread of the belief in the Lord God. Key and long-lasting!…”
"The common belief in the main god, the increased farming output, and the path to military success... can bring one or two generations of people from each tribe to return home! And if the narrative of the origin of the ancestors and the integration of all tribes can truly penetrate into the hearts of each tribe, then It is a long-term and hard-earned return!... As long as such a national consciousness is formed, even if the world is divided by civil war, it will always reunite as one. That is the future of the world that you and I want!..."
After writing this, Shulot stopped writing and felt emotional. The cultural integration of various departments in the Celestial Dynasty originated from the Zhou Dynasty's "Zhuxia" concept, was forged in the "unification", "tongwen" and "book burning" of the First Emperor, and also experienced the "deposition of hundreds of schools" by Emperor Wu. In politics and After the great economic unification, it gradually condensed into a culturally unified "Han family world"!
"Such a difficult and great undertaking cannot be accomplished by one generation. But now is the best time and the only opportunity, in the era of ignorance, to create a powerful nation in the Americas! ... And if you miss this opportunity , when all the ministries are enlightened in literacy, it will be a thousand difficulties..."
Xiulote sighed for a moment, thinking of the ancient Mayans in the East, the Musi Ika Chibucha people in the southern continent, and the more prosperous Incas, the people of the sun, and shook his head slightly.
It would be much more difficult for local civilizations like these that have developed mature systems to be integrated into the common culture of the Jiao tribes! And if the cultures of various ministries further develop and reach the level of the European countries at this moment, and a preliminary national consciousness is awakened... then there may be no possibility of integration!
"Blessed by the Lord God! Blessed by the Jiaoren Ancestors!...My respected sage, the conquest of the Totonak Coastal Tribes has come to an end. I have collected many inheritance boards from various seaside tribes and recruited dozens of tribesmen. Sages and priests have been transported back to the kingdom one after another... The cultural integration of various tribes in Totonac can already be started! Among them, the legend and role of Quetzalcoatl need to be revised. The myth of the giant snake and the sun can be used ...And how to incorporate the entire kingdom into the "Epic of Divine Summer" still requires your wisdom and creativity..."
"My respected sage! The construction of a unified culture and nation is your most important great cause! ... As for my promotion of you to the chief priest of the kingdom and the rectification of the kingdom's priests... it is out of confrontation and conflict with the alliance's high priests. Competitive considerations…”
"The so-called confrontation and competition are confrontations, but they are fought but not broken. The purpose is to prevent the impact of the high priests on the kingdom's academic affairs and the kingdom's power... The subtleties in this, as a learned and wise sage, you I will definitely be able to grasp it... Lord God's blessing! Please don't worry, I will definitely return safely, after the inevitable changes in the East!..."
Regarding the sage Jatiri, Shulot did not mention his second son Shaokang. He did not dare to hand over this key power that could be established to the hands of this old fox from Prepecha. This was also a balance of political power. And behind this document, which is called a letter but is actually a royal order, is a letter to the director of Divine Enlightenment, Talea.
"Talaiya, my most reliable subordinate..."
As soon as he wrote the beginning, Shulot stopped. He had complicated feelings in his heart for this divine director who was devoted to him. This feeling is not love, but closer to the fusion of pity, guilt and comfort. Once a man's bottom line becomes flexible, it will get lower and lower...
Shulot pondered for a while and then erased the beginning of this sentence. He changed another piece of paper, thought for a moment, and wrote again.
"Talaiya, my closest follower, and my most reliable partner...the kingdom's divine office controls the mines, military industry department, gunpowder department, shipyards, smelters, foundries, printing bureaus, and special trade The Bureau is the largest production and R&D group in the entire world!... It has grown into a huge beast, with the ability to devour and grow. And I can only truly control this beast by leaving it to you. Calm down!…”
"After the Eastern Expedition, I will return to the capital city in the lake and may stay for two years...Talaiya, I will leave the management of the Shenqi Institute to you!...And the development direction of the Shenqi Institute is also the same as mine. It’s the same thing I mentioned many times before…”
"The first priority of the Institute of Divine Inspiration is technology research and development! Just like the discovered volcanic ash cement formula, improved granular gunpowder and purification, constantly improving iron smelting technology, more mature bronze cannons...larger galleys and long ships , began to promote research on corn breeding, composting technology and struvite fertilization...The emergence and application of each of these technologies will change the future of the entire world!..."
"The second priority of the Divine Inspiration Institute is military production. Bronze weapons, bronze armor, bronze cannons, gunpowder weapons...these innovative new equipment, as well as the huge output of the craftsman camp, are what enable the kingdom to overwhelm all ministries and attack all directions. , the greatest confidence to be invincible!...After I go to the lake capital, if the alliance sends someone to ask for technology and craftsmen, you must be able to politely refuse, delay and shirk...Don't worry about my safety! Only in this way will I be safe..."
"As for the third priority of Shenqi Institute, it is to increase the production of iron tools and speed up the promotion of iron tools! The current iron smelting technology can already provide sufficient and cheap iron farm tools! Iron hoes, iron sickles, and iron tools can obviously Improve the farming effect of the village and the production capacity of the urban craftsmen...and this is the foundation for the development of the kingdom, the continuously innovative productivity!..."
At the end of the letter, Shulot looked at it for a long time before writing a promise. And for this promise, Talea, the director of Divine Enlightenment, has been waiting for ten years...
"The Lord God bless you! Talea, control the Divine Apocalypse for me, and keep an eye on the foundation of the kingdom for me!... When I come back, I will be my most loyal and trustworthy... partner..."
