Chapter 486: The right to speak
A few days later, Ji Aojian saw that Gu Ta's expression was still sullen, so he asked him what was going on.
Guta looked up and asked, "Sir, am I Indian?"
"Why do you think that?" Ji Aojian said strangely, "You have nothing to do with Indians. ”
"I passed by a new building that day and saw the sign that said 'Indian Embassy' and thought it was our people who had created a new country. "But when I went to inquire, I found out that they were from South Asia, but they also claimed to be Indians." ”
"The third Indian brother in South Asia?" Ji Aojian was also surprised, "Is it necessary for a colony to open an embassy?"
Guta continued, "Even though they have the same names as us, no matter how I look at them, I don't think they look like us at all. ”
"The indigenous Dravidians of South Asia thousands of years ago were brown people, and the Aryans who conquered the region were white. Ji Ao Kendao, "They are not the same thing as us yellow people at all, you think they are not like us, this is completely correct." ”
"If there is such a big difference in race, why are we all called 'Indians'?"
"It's a long story. Ji Ao Kendao, "When the Europeans took a new route to the Americas in order to go to the East to rob, they thought they had come to India, so they called you 'Indians'. When I found out about the mistake, I didn't bother to change your name, and I kept shouting the mistake down. ”
"How can this be!" Guta was almost stunned, "I made a mistake and didn't correct it." It's not respectful at all. ”
"This is a matter of the right to speak. Ji Aojian explained. "European countries are now the richest and most developed, so Western civilization is the mainstream civilization of the modern world. At the same time, you also have cultural hegemony, saying that you are what you are. Since they have given you the name 'Indian', you can only be called 'Indian' in their discourse. ”
"Then we have to break their cultural hegemony!"
"In order to overthrow their cultural hegemony, we must make our country strong, and only when the country is strong can our nation have political and cultural influence, and can we justify ourselves and not be defined by others. ”
Ji Aojian concluded, "So. You have to gather information and fight for the rise of the Indians. ”
"Since I have nothing to do with Indians, it would be a shame to be called 'Indian' by the wrong name!" Guta said, "and we should have a name that is truly our own." ”
Ji Aojian thought for a while, "You can call yourself a 'Yin Di'an' person......"
Guta interrupted him, "Sir, is there a difference between this pronunciation and 'Indian'?"
In this way, there are many splendid ancient civilizations in the Americas. You can call yourself a Mayan. ”
"Okay, I'm the Mayans. ”
"You can call yourself a Mayan now, but those Westerners won't recognize it, and they'll still call you an Indian. Ji Aojian continued. "So you still have to take good classes, become a top student, and be an authority in the field of anthropology in the future. When the country is strong, it can try to overturn the previous definition. ”
"Understood. ”
"Speaking of which. Have you recently taken those kids into school?"
"Accepted. ”
"That's good. Ji Aojian put his mind at ease, "I see that you looked depressed before. I thought you had some kind of setback on campus. ”
"Sir, they do think I'm the boss. Guta sighed, "But I still can't seem to gather information at ease. ”
"How come, since you are already the boss, do they dare to harass you?"
"Every day, they either invited me out for a drink, or dragged me to the theater, and even encouraged me to take the lead in picking a scene. Guta said with a bitter face, "He also said that the boss's obligation is to take the younger brother to fight the country." ”
"Wait, don't let them tell you to go around. Ji Aojian immediately said, "This is fooling you, decisively refuse." ”
Of course, I refused these things, but they insisted that I teach them martial arts. ”
"I want to learn martial arts with you?"
"Yes, they said that my martial arts are so high that I beat them easily, so if I refuse to teach them, I don't talk about brotherly righteousness, and I hide my secrets. Gu Ta said, "A person who hides his own secrets can't seem to be the boss, and then he can't care about them." ”
"And what do you say?"
"I don't know what to do. Guta said embarrassedly, "It would be a good thing to carry forward the cat boxing, but if you want to teach people to practice martial arts, you have to instruct for a few hours a day, which takes up too much valuable information gathering time." ”
Ji Aojian held his chin, "It seems that these guys don't have any serious intentions except for eating, drinking, and having fun." ”
"I also feel that they are really rotten wood. ”
"In that case, you should get out of class tomorrow and bring all your newly accepted little brothers. ”
"What did you bring them for?"
"I personally instructed them. ”
On the afternoon of the second day, Guta really took five gorgeously dressed teenagers to the Mexican embassy.
Ji Aojian looked at the last deputy envoy of the Ming Dynasty who followed in, and frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Ren Xiaodie said with a smile on her face, "Tenth brother, I heard that you are going to open a mountain to accept apprentices today, and I am also a martial arts line, so I came here to help you testify." ”
"When did I say that I was going to open the mountain to accept apprentices?"
"Didn't you say that you want to instruct a few people?" Ren Xiaodie said confidently, "As a martial arts master, since you are willing to appoint them, even if they are not officially accepted disciples, they can be regarded as your registered disciples." Let me help you testify, in case these guys have any misdeeds in the future, I will directly clean up the portal for you, saving you from having to do it yourself. ”
Ji Ao Kendao, "I said that I wanted to instruct them, but I didn't say that I wanted to instruct martial arts, don't speculate." ”
"Brother Ten, then what are you going to instruct?"
"The theory that martial arts training is useless. ”
"What?" Ren Xiaodie's eyes immediately widened, revealing an incredulous look, "Brother Ten, which one are you singing?"
Ji Aojian snorted, "If you think it's useful to practice martial arts, why don't you recommend these guys to Shaolin Wudang and bring them to the UK to study?"
"That's right, that's right. Ren Xiaodie immediately understood, "Practicing martial arts is really useless, you should study hard." ”
"Do you not understand this until now?"
"This, this ......," Ren Xiaodie said in a huttering voice, "Brother Ten, I've always felt that when young people are strong, China is strong, and it's not a bad thing that young people like to practice martial arts." ”
"If you are obsessed with martial arts training and never go to school, you will have a big problem. ”
"That's, that's. Ren Xiaodie hurriedly said, "They should educate and educate well, Brother Ten, you don't have to be polite." ”
"You are a foreigner, why do you want to teach us?" One of the five teenagers suddenly spoke, looking at Ji Aojian with an unconvinced face, "We are famous students of the Ming Empire, in terms of noble status, a mere envoy of the barbarian country, how can we compare with us?"
Ji Aojian smiled, "What kind of fame do you have, the shadow eunuch from the country?"
The man said proudly, "Isn't it enough? ”
"Then you guys listen to me!" Ji Aojian's face suddenly hung a layer of frost, "Lao Tzu is the Marquis of Daming, among all the Chinese in this London city, Marquis Ben has the most noble status, and he can't teach you a few little prisoners? (To be continued......)
