Chapter 39 Crimea! (5) Diderot and Schilling (Part 2)

 “Oh?”

"First of all, taxation is implemented, as the population increases, in fact, the income of Halachi increases, and in the end, a few will appear

A big family whose real strength is no less than that of the Khan tribe, will pose a threat to the foundation of the Khanate”

"Then there is the military service system. At the beginning, our country was naturally dominated by the Tatars. However, later, as other tribes around gathered more and more, they finally claimed to be the Nogae people. Their number actually far exceeded that of us. Because they guarded the borders of the Khanate, they had only the obligation to serve in the military."

"This will cause each herder's strength to surpass the Tatars"

"The end is the Islamic religion. Although the Islamic religion combines many tribes of different beliefs, they believe in the temples with more imams than the great mullahs appointed by the Khans themselves. Although the Khans mostly serve as the supreme leader of religion, they are too far away from ordinary believers after all."

"The Khan tribe can choose the big mullah and the big imam, but the mullahs within each tribe are mostly from their own tribes because they believe in their own people's explanations more"

"In the past, due to the existence of a large number of white farmers around, they could unanimously strengthen their national identity through robbery and demonstrations. However, the situation is different now. The strength of white Europeans has greatly enhanced. Compared with the two, this point is also declining..."

"That's all?"

Wobaxi looked at him with a smile.

Xilin said a little unhappy: "I wish to hear the great views of Huntaiji"

Wobassi quickly said seriously: "There are some so-called thinkers in France now. Your master is one of them. Haven't you got one or two of them from his academic studies?"

Xilin wants to speak but stops.

"You dare not imagine from this aspect"

Wobasi suddenly remembered what Qitade once said to a few people in China.

"Whether it is an empire, a kingdom or a khanate, it is a stopgap measure. There is one problem, that is, the legitimacy of the political system"

"At the beginning, a certain force was extremely powerful and created a country, which could barely become the legitimacy of its existence"

"But after the establishment of a country, what should be done is the most fundamental. The country needs to protect the people, and the people have to feed back the country through military service and taxes. But what is the ultimate goal?"

At that time, Qitade did not develop, because the country had just been established and was in full swing. If some chaotic ideas were suddenly penetrated, it would inevitably cause chaos in the country.

But Obasi knew very well that Qitad had been secretly solving this goal.

"The first is to establish the idea of ​​equality of all beings. Although it was learned from the Lamaism, it made everyone believe it after all"

"The second is to establish a national code. The code not only maintains the order of the Khanate, but also encourages the people to pursue a better life. They can also be proud of the country and strive for progress"

"But the ultimate question has not been solved in the end, that is, why can the descendants of Orluk occupy a long-term dominance?"

Thinking of this, he said: "I don't think much about this, but from a historical perspective, both the Golden Horde and the Crimean Khanate seem to have a problem besides the influence of foreign enemies."

"Oh?" At this time Diderot and Rousseau's thoughts were still very dangerous. Not to mention Crimea, which believes in Islam, even in France, which believes in Catholicism, they are also regarded as dangerous.

Xilin naturally gained some enlightenment from his teacher, but he was still confused. He could only understand the gap between the Islamic world and the Western European world from the specific appearance of the army, firearms, business, etc., and would not rise to the ideological level.

It's just a way to reflect on one's own country.

Just a kind.

"At the end of the day, a few things must be done for a country to last forever"

"First of all, why does the political system of this country exist? In comparison, laws and contracts are much better than historical heritage"

"Second, well, if most people accept this political system, how can they make this political system work for a long time and benefit both the country and the people for a long time?"

"Then there are issues such as faith, habits, thoughts, etc. Anyone who places faith on the country fails without exception, such as..."

Xilin felt something, "What Huntaiji said is very true. The four Khanate countries in the past were so powerful that almost the entire Eurasian continent crawled at their feet, but in the end it was a flash in the pan, which was wrong! Didn't the upper class of the four Khanate countries eventually convert to the Islamic religion?"

"Why do you still have to say that faith is under the country?"

"But they eventually died. Faith can be used as a means to unite people in the early stages of the country, but it is obviously not possible to put it in supreme position"

"Okay!"

There was a burst of excitement outside the door, and Diderot walked in.

Xilin said embarrassedly: "Teacher, aren't you tired? Why are you getting up again?"

Diderot smiled and said, "I knew you would not easily talk about deeper issues in front of me, Europeans, so I deliberately went out for a while. Sure enough, as soon as I left, you started to discuss it enthusiastically"

As he said that, he ignored Xilin and looked at Wobaxi, "It seems that I have to go to your country. By the way, you just said that faith is under the country. Then I ask you, what is the highest principle?"

Wobaxi said in surprise: "Sir, Turkic, can you speak?"

Diderot smiled and said, "Since I have come to the country of my disciples, why don't I prepare for one or two? I'm not hiding it, I started to learn Turkic language after getting on board in France. When I arrived at the port of Kafa, I could already use him to talk to Xilin skillfully"

Wobaxi scratched his head, "The highest principle? I really haven't thought about this section"

"But your Khan must have thought about it!" Diderot said confidently, "But I am also very uncertain. Before that, in my world, God must be the highest principle to promote the movement of the universe. After a while, I thought that the movement of the universe may have its own laws, and it is not necessary for God to be."

"But I was confused after all. After hearing what you said just now, I suddenly woke up!"

"Oh?"

"Originally, in my mind, the universe is material, and outside the universe is God's idea, but your words remind me that it is very likely that matter itself can evolve and develop itself!"

"So, mathematics can become my God, physics can be, sociology can be!"

"Okay", Wobaxi naturally doesn't understand these things. After all, his thinking scope is limited to one country. "Sir, how can I solve my problem just now?"

"Contract! Of course it is a contract. We can recognize historical heritage and military victories, but we must fix it in the form of a contract and exist as the highest principle of the country"

"In this way, the country and the people have their own responsibilities and obligations, and if you want to change this supreme principle, you must be recognized by the majority of people"

"Most?", Wobasi shook his head, "It is not easy. Once natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, especially faith problems, most people are easily incited by a small group of people with ulterior motives and easily overturn the highest principles"

"This..."

Diderot also scratched his head, and finally took off the wig on his head.

A foul stinking stinking to the face, making people feel nauseous, but it seems Xilin turned a blind eye to it.

"This requires a process. At the beginning, tradition still takes priority, but later on, the highest principle gradually gains advantages. No! I need to go to Truchen right away!"

"No!"

Wobasi suddenly got inspiration.

"The supreme principle is naturally needed, but its role is different at different stages, because not all countries believe in the entire supreme principle, so the first thing this country needs to consider is how to survive"

"If you want to survive for a long time, you must be very strong. When it comes to that point, it will be natural to have the advantage of the highest principle"

He suddenly realized what Qitad really thought.

"At the beginning, human role is the greatest, and it will push it to the high position of national leader. His thoughts and practices will deeply affect this country, but he is unique. His ability to remain sober and maintain the country does not mean that his successors can do the same."

"At this time, the highest principle needs to be released, but the human factors and the highest principle have at least the same status. When the country is truly strong, the human factors will be irrelevant. At that time, everything will be dominated by the highest principle!"

As soon as these words came out, Diderot and Xilin fell into deep thought.

After a while, Xilin actually spoke first.

"Dear Huntaiji, this is your country?"

Obasi obviously would not miss this opportunity to win him over. He just said something he had never said before, but he was just to give his preferences. He didn't know if it was right. But since he was interested, one of the three Tatar nobles of the Crimean Khanate, he could not let it go.

"Of course, my country's Khan did not say it clearly, but now I think about it, this is how my country operates. Khan declares that everyone is equal as soon as he comes to power. Although under the guise of religion, he obviously is not keen on religion, and sometimes even stays away from it."

"Although everyone is equal, there are still differences in heights due to their ability and knowledge. Da Khan has the greatest ability and the broadest knowledge, so he naturally ranks at the highest position. Although he is the eldest son of his ex Da Khan, he has always been under the title of this."

"There are different people in different positions, and then they show their abilities and their talents. There is also a set of laws that are rough at first and then slowly refined to restrain them, and finally a political system is formed"

"As for faith, I now understand his original intention, that is, faith is important to the general public, but it is still under the country for him. However, he does not oppose that the people have various different beliefs, but the premise is that they cannot have an impact on the state's political system"

Diderot excitedly grabbed his hand, "Materialism?"

"Materialism?"

Wobasi obviously hadn't heard of this term, so he had to shake his head.

But he didn't care, he cared about Xilin.

"Since the sir wants to go to our country so much, it's better for me to arrange it. You two can go together"

He knew one thing with certainty, that is, after today's conversation, Xilin, who was deeply influenced by Diderot's thoughts, was very likely to fall into the arms of the Truchen Khanate.

But not everyone is as enlightened as Xilin.
