Iraq is not different from most of the Middle East, the Gobi and desert are all over the place, and it is difficult to find natural patches of greenery, if any, it is definitely artificial.
After Wang Meng and others entered the border of Iraq, they found that the population of the place that had been full of war was surprisingly large, and the situation of settlement was relatively concentrated.
"Oh."
"The environment in southern Iraq is a little harsher, and they can only live where there is a fixed water source. ” This is the case in the Middle East, where in many areas you can't dig even a few hundred meters into the ground, and only a few places can dig a little more than ten meters to dig out water.
In fact, there is no shortage of rivers in the Middle East, but streams are scarce, which is determined by the local geographical location and climate itself.
Although there is a lack of water here, after the invention of the internal combustion engine, the world's most important oil reserves and distribution are the largest and most concentrated.
After the Han envoys entered Iraq for hundreds of miles, they paused, and Wang Meng and other high-ranking envoys were arranged in a manor, and I heard that it was originally the home of a certain prince or some big nobleman.
Unlike the rest of the place, which is full of yellow sand at a glance, the manor is full of flowers and trees, and there are some beautiful fountains and pools, which make Wang Meng and others who have had enough of sand all the way get the greatest relaxation.
Marcus Maca, Valolius Stans, and Mowson Hadidan lived in the estate, and they were surprisingly not much of a gunpowder to coexist peacefully, and they were able to sit down and drink a few glasses of wine.
"We have the same task now, how can we be incompatible," Mawson Hadidan told the truth: "We will put aside the dispute for the time being, until you leave." ” Wang Meng has a special understanding of the grievances and hatreds between the Persians and the Romans, no matter how the dynasties of the Persians and the Romans change, they are mortal enemies who have fought for hundreds of thousands of years, and they can reach a consensus peacefully, mainly because the Han State is very important to both Persian Sassanid and Rome.
A strong country is like this, even if it is tens of thousands of miles away, as long as people know that it is powerful, they must be afraid of doing something, especially if that strong country can carry out expeditions across tens of thousands of miles across the sea, and exaggeratedly send hundreds of thousands of troops to the other continent, no one wants to provoke such a strong country.
As an envoy from a powerful country, Wang Meng was able to better appreciate the treatment he received as a member of a powerful country from the courtesy specifications of Persia and the importance from Rome, and he accepted all kinds of attention and aspects with peace of mind, and did not feel anything wrong at all.
Of course, Wang Meng knew very well that it was under the premise that both the Persian Sassanid and Rome had asked for the Han State, and once the difference of interests could not be bridged, what should be done, the Persian Sassanid and Rome may be afraid of the Han State, but it is really impossible to say that they are afraid of the Han State to be arbitrarily bullied or blackmailed.
At the time of Ctesiphon, Wang Meng had already signed the relevant documents on behalf of Liu Yan and Shapur II, in fact, it was not a big deal, that is, the trade relations were determined in the form of national documents, in short, the Han and Persians could travel between the two places to buy and sell goods, and the two countries had the responsibility to ensure the safety of each other's personnel within their own borders.
The letter also makes a particularly solemn point that if a person from the two countries commits a crime, it is based on the local law, but it is not tried by one country alone, but by a joint court.
It's not that Wang Meng hasn't fought for legal immunity or anything like that, or the Han people can only hand over the Han State for handling when they break the law, and the Persians may not know so many detours, but they are really not stupid enough to agree to that part, and the result is that the one mentioned above is the standard process.
"Did you go to Constantinople with the same credentials?"
Marcus Marca took it very seriously when he learned about it: "If so, I need to send someone to bring the letter first." ” Wang Meng didn't feel that there was anything to hide, nodded and said, "Generally yes, the details need to be determined when the interview is made." ” They chatted on a half-covered balcony next to a fountain that was spewing water, and a pool pool on the second floor, with a group of dancers dancing to the music on a small platform.
The dancers are from Persia, they are Mosen Hadidan deliberately all the way, there are many performances on the road, it is more miserable or a pity that a few dancers died because they couldn't stand it, but no one cares about those high-ranking Persians, including Mosen Hadidan, but Wang Meng and some other Han people Ning Xiang Xiyu proposed to buy, but it was rejected.
Mawson Hadidan had a reason to refuse, those dancers were the property of the Zoroastrians, and if there were only a few of them he could still call the shots, all of them would not be qualified enough to decide on the sale.
From that one thing, Wang Meng can understand that whether it is Arabs or Persians, or Central Asia, West Asia, or the Middle East, the status of women on their side is so low that it is frightening, and to put it mildly, it is almost the same as the status of poultry or livestock.
The women on the Zhuxia side have different social status in different periods, and in general they are not as miserable as the Middle East, and there have even been periods when women were in power.
Even if women are not in power, their social status is really not low, at least there is no law that clearly stipulates that women have a low social status, and there is no law that specifically stipulates that they cannot do some things that only men can do, let alone use the law to stipulate that if they show something, they will be stoned to death.
In the current special period of the imbalance between men and women in the Han Kingdom, too many men can't find their partners, and it's too late to please a mother-in-law.
What is relatively bad is that the current Han State continues the policy of the previous Han Dynasty, but not only men can file for divorce with the government, but women can also file for divorce if they feel that they can't live with their husbands.
Liu Yan once jokingly said that the serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women in society may cause a unique social phenomenon, that is, men have to please women, waiting for women to feel that it is a matter of course to be pleased, and even evolve into a relationship of female superiority and inferiority, and the next generation of men is estimated to be miserable.
The more something is missing, it must be the greater the competition, and if you want to get it, you naturally have to pay more, and in the process as a person who is competitive, it is rare that there will be no tsundere, which is something that will not change in the competitive tone.
After sending away a few outsiders, Dou A complained: "There has been a phenomenon of unreasonable trouble, but I am afraid that my mother-in-law will run away, so I don't dare to hard-top."
No matter how it goes down, what kind of manliness is there. ” Wang Meng was stunned, his wife was selected by Liu Yan from the Cui family, although his wife, who was educated in a big family, sometimes showed a strong side, but when she should respect him, she never overstepped it, and it was difficult to understand what Dou A said.
"We have a long way to go," Dou A said almost through gritted teeth: "Get enough women back, and when they are no longer rare, see if you can do that." ” Wang Meng was stunned again, guessing that Dou A was also choked by his wife.
Their mission had many tasks, the official presentation of credentials with the Persian Sassanids and Rome was on the one hand, trade was the most important, and the procurement of food and women was the most important.
After entering Persia, Wang Meng purchased a lot of grain, but the later he bought, the less grain he bought, on the contrary, the number of slaves purchased continued to increase.
"The Persians are in turmoil, and they should not have bought more food."
Cai Mian smiled evilly, and continued: "We keep throwing money out, the Persians don't desperately capture the Arabs, the Serbs, and the Yueclan, anyway, no matter who they are, for those governors, it's just a matter of giving orders to the army, not to mention that they themselves are fighting against each other. ” Of course, it was a good thing to get slaves, and Wang Meng also knew that it was exacerbating the contradictions between the Persian Sassanids and the rest of the peoples, but it was a matter of one wanting to buy another and being willing to arrest someone to sell, and no one should blame anyone.
"Then if you go on, you shouldn't have a daughter-in-law of an alien race" Dou A is not a bloodliner, he just out of an inexplicable tradition, wondering: "Will there be any hair color in the future, or simply the child is white-skinned" This is a very serious problem, and the central side has also discussed it very seriously, and in Sang Yu's argument, he wants to legislate, for example, if his appearance is different from that of black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, then there is no right to inherit the title.
"Legislation won't pass."
Wang Meng didn't get any news, and said bluntly in his own opinion: "Think about it, the Han Dynasty has entered the Western Regions and has obtained hundreds of thousands of white-skinned women, and they will become the wives of the Han people, and they will definitely produce offspring."
Most of the Han Chinese who marched into the Western Regions would receive a title, even if they did not have a title, but it was still a title.
Who can guarantee that the children born will be Han Chinese, and what will happen to them once the legislation is passed" If you want to say that the women sent back to China, it is not only the Western Regions that are different from the Han people's appearance, but also the Indochina Peninsula's side of the dark skin, and then the Ah San side has more dark skin, that is, the peninsula, the Japanese Islands and other places get back the appearance of the Han people who are similar to the Han people.
"Another piece of legislation would definitely pass."
The expression on Wang Meng's face began to become weird, but he still had to say in a serious tone: "For those who are above the title of doctor, the main wife can only be a woman of the Han family, but there can be a concubine of the Han family, and this level can be changed upwards." ” Dou A didn't understand a little, so he had the heart to ask, and Cai Mian next to him spoke first.
"It's just that there are more Han women to marry as regular wives, or" Cai Mian sighed and said sullenly: "Otherwise, if you don't make restrictions, the higher the status, the higher the status, don't have more Han women, so that the rest have to marry a different race." ” "After all, the center is afraid" Dou A understood: "I'm afraid of the situation we just said." ” "I'm scared anyway."
Cai Mian didn't hide it: "If our generation is working hard to make the country strong and rich, but it is a group of blonde hair, red hair, and not black hair anyway, to enjoy everything we have created, I feel bad when I think about it a little." ” Wang Meng remembered such a past, at that time he was still Liu Yan's personal secretary, always serving Liu Yan, and listening to a lot of words.
He remembered that Liu Yan had said a similar topic, and Liu Yan's meaning at that time was very clear, naturally he refused to allow a group of people who did not look like Han people to enjoy the fruits of creation, but it was not up to them to decide, it was the situation of the country that determined the future.
To put it bluntly, whoever doesn't have a sufficient number of Han women now, then they can't attack the womb of other women, under the premise of patriarchal society, in fact, no matter what the appearance of the child is, it is the seed of the Han family, so if you think about it, there is no such thing as wasting the fruits of desperate creation, but it should be bad.

There are already some things in the Han Kingdom, such as a considerable number of families, they absolutely strictly prohibit the children of the family from marrying foreign women, and even concubines cannot be foreign women, and they feel that if the family blood is of a different race, it is defiling the ancestors.
What left them speechless was that the center really wanted to have legislation to push people to a certain status to accept an alien woman as a concubine, and they didn't know what to do if it became a part of the Han law.
"What else can I do" Cai Mian didn't have any scruples when he said something: "It's also a helpless thing, the people have everything, but the people who care about them are the same, and there are some discriminatory policies, isn't it forcing them to resist?"
In fact, there is a way, that is, once the child is born is not like the Han people, there will never be no one like the Han people, but that is really too cruel, at least the Han State will not issue such a law, and even the people will not allow it to do it spontaneously.
This is not the same thing as the night power of the early night of the Mengyuan Dynasty, it is the Han family man who occupies the womb of a foreign woman, and no matter what the child gives birth to, it is indeed his own bloodline, and the Han woman's womb is occupied and gives birth to a species that is not his own species.
No one in the back spoke, all of them were stunned, looking at the pool or garden below, where there were interracial women playing, and from time to time there would be a "huh" laughter.
"What can it be, we are so desperate" Dou Ah yelled "Ah", and sat down on the vine chair in a decadent manner, as if lying half-bodyed, and immediately an Arab woman next to him stepped forward to take the wine, and he subconsciously took it and drank it all: "Let's rob it, it's better to give birth to our bloodline than to be extinct ourselves, or to rob by a foreign race, isn't it?"
Cai Mian couldn't help but let out a "hehehehe" laugh: "It is too exaggerated to say that the extinction is an exaggeration, that is, the population growth is slow, and the social security will be extremely poor." ” Wang Meng was a little confused, he couldn't remember how he got into this topic after thinking about it for a long time:
