Chapter 1580 Disagreement
It was the first time for the people of the Ming Dynasty to see an elephant, and they were a little curious about this huge creature.
This time, there were many good things sent from the city, which showed that wealth was concentrated little by little, exploited little by little, and flowed from the bottom to the top.
The guests were sent directly to the screening room to watch the "miracle", which was their own request. After watching the movie, they came out in tears, with a satisfied look on their faces.
"If the king watches the movie, he will definitely pass the throne to you." Duran did not doubt the possibility at all, because never underestimate the power of Indian religion.
After watching the movie, they immediately felt that the screening room was too simple, and proposed to Dongfang Bubai that they would pay for and build a luxurious screening room with agate floor and gold walls to meet the specifications of the miracle.
Dongfang Bubai really didn't understand why people here would rather not eat or sleep to worship gods. Is God really so important? They are even willing to fight for God and spend money like water.
"You naturally don't understand. To them, God is their emperor, just like they won't understand why you are loyal to the emperor. You don't need to understand their thoughts at all, you just need to know how to deal with them."
"In fact, in addition to God, the way they go to the toilet is also unbearable. I have seen them solve it on the roadside more than once. Now when it is against the wind, the port can smell the stench." There are already many people living in the gathering place outside, and they don't have toilets, so they all solve it in the open air, which is really unbearable.
You should know that the first thing the Ming people did after landing was to dig pits and build toilets, and all the feces were concentrated. They were not as open as Indians.
And Dongfang Bubai also heard that if Indian women want to relieve themselves, they have to wait until late at night to go to the wild together. It's dangerous to think about it.
In the wild at night, this is not to attract perverts.
"That's because they think feces are unclean, so they can't stay in the house. But now that they regard us as messengers of God, we can naturally influence them to change them, or ask them directly." Duran felt that if they didn't like it, he could ask them to change it. Now the people of the Ming Dynasty have more right to explain than the Brahmins.
Started to build the screening room, prepared the best materials.
Anyway, it is necessary to respect the gods enough, mobilize 30,000 civilians in the surrounding area to work day and night.
There is no salary, and even food must be brought by yourself, but there are still people willing to join the work. There are even many people who donate money to support the construction.
When Dongfang Bubai returned to his country, the magnificent screening room had been built. Not only did it not cost money, but it even made money.
Because the people around him enthusiastically provided labor and financial resources, after the screening room was built, it actually made more money than the original budget.
This was the first time Dongfang Bubai saw a big project that made money without spending money, and he was completely confused. Anyway, he just couldn't understand why someone would spend money for God?
Of course, if the emperor wanted Dongfang Bubai to donate everything, Dongfang Bubai would definitely be just as active as these people, because if the emperor wants his ministers to die, they have to die. But at least the emperor still exists in reality, and the emperor would not want his ministers to die for no reason. Besides, the emperor's death may enter history, and it may also benefit future generations.
In comparison, it is more practical to devote oneself to the emperor. Dedicating oneself to God, who knows whether there will be rewards, and you can't really believe in the world after death.
The projection hall is surrounded by lifelike statues of gods, which are carved according to the characters in the movie, and the projection machines are surrounded by flowers and incense burners. There are also a group of people kneeling every day. Of course, only Brahmins have the right to kneel to the machines, and outsiders can only kneel outside at most.
"It's time to build a city!" Dongfang Bubai finally decided not to worry about these things. This time he returned to Daming and received the emperor's commendation. At the same time, the emperor also asked him to set a nail in India and build a city belonging to Daming to facilitate their trade.
This time, Dongfang Bubai also brought the designer of the city and the complete design drawings. The emperor also told Dongfang Bubai to ask Duran if he had any questions, and everything would be based on Duran's requirements.
This time, Dongfang Bubai also understood the relationship between Duran and the emperor better. Duran was the emperor's benefactor and the husband of the Tianshan Fairy. He was a real strange man.
The Indians were excited. Building a city was good. Building a holy city was enough to express their respect for God.
So from the beginning, they rushed to participate in the city construction plan, and the streets were empty.
However, they hoped to build the city with the screening room as the center, but the designer's original design was centered on the government, and the two sides argued endlessly.
Although the designer was a messenger of God, he could not despise their heart of respecting God.
In fact, the locals had long discovered that the messenger of God had no magic power. At most, he knew God better than them, so now they had the courage to raise objections.
Over time, the authority of the messenger of God was also shaken.
Moreover, the locals also found that compared to the gods, the messengers of the gods respected a being called the emperor more. The emperor was not any Hindu god, which was too suspicious.
Through this incident, Dongfang Bubai also found that the locals began to be out of control, and now the number of locals around has surpassed the number of Ming people. If they suddenly found that the Ming people actually deceived them, it would definitely pose a threat to the fleet!
This matter is very important and needs to be discussed with Duran.
"It's a matter of time." Duran didn't find it strange. The people of the Ming Dynasty also had to eat and sleep, get hurt and bleed, and work hard. Naturally, the locals would have doubts.
Moreover, Dongfang Bubai was still a loyal minister. The sailors of the fleet also regarded Zhang Wuji as an idol, and at the same time, they never showed the intention of respecting the gods. Naturally, there would be disagreements over time.
"What should we do now?"
"The simplest way is to create a god and make the emperor the son of Brahma. In this way, the differences between the two sides will disappear, and everyone will still work for the same goal." Anyway, the emperor called himself the Son of Heaven, and it would not hurt to pretend to be the son of other gods.
But Dongfang Bubai felt that this was not right. There was no need for them to compromise at all, and it was simply disrespectful to find a father for the emperor.
"This is the simplest way."
"No, in fact, I have an idea to make another movie, shoot the fairyland, and let them know that the lifestyle and residential style of the gods should be in line with ours except for clothes." Dongfang Bubai looked at Duran, and he believed that Duran could do it.
"You really don't know how to innovate." Duran said that he disdained to use this method of making a movie for the second time, and this person actually wanted to use it again. But this is also a way. If the gods in Hinduism meet each other, the first thing they say is "Have you eaten?" and they bow at every turn, it would be quite interesting.
If you want to shoot the fairyland, you need to use a model, which is a technology that was not used in the last shooting. "Then shoot another one according to your idea." Duran agreed.
