After half an hour.
In the large bedroom on the second floor of the villa.
"Hannah, you look even more beautiful today!"
Chen Wenbin held Hannah, who had just taken a shower, and sniffed her ear. She only smelled of perfume; her body odor was very faint.
Some white women have strong body odor, which is indeed not good, but fortunately Chen Wenbin has made alcohol perfumes and soaps, which, together with bathing, can cover up most of it.
Furthermore, according to Chen Wenbin's observations, their body odor transforms into a milky scent after they become pregnant, a fact that has been verified in Diana, Mary, Catherine, Tina, Katerina, Idni, Vera, Lillian, and Makareva.
At first, their body odor varied in intensity, but as he interacted with them more, especially after they became pregnant, their body odor invariably decreased significantly or even disappeared, and their physical condition improved.
This discovery not only surprised Chen Wenbin himself, but also delighted the women, who generally agreed with Pastor John Davis's statement—
This is the effect of God bestowing upon Lord Chen the noble bloodline!
Chen Wenbin couldn't say that this was a perk for time travelers, so he simply accepted it.
"Sir, the fireworks were so beautiful today! But Sophia won't let us watch!"
Hannah is only eighteen years old, an age when she loves excitement. Sofia has forbidden her from going to the city square, so she's feeling a bit aggrieved.
"Sophia is the head maid, you should listen to her." Chen Wenbin's expression remained unchanged, and his hands continued their work without stopping, showing no signs of being a weak-willed emperor.
Hannah looked down at the large hand on her chest, not daring to say anything more, only blushing and whispering, "—Oh, I understand."
"Go to sleep first!"
Chen Wenbin reached out and scooped up the little calf, tossing it onto the bed.
Having a harem like an emperor, you get used to it eventually.
It's simply a matter of having more bed partners and having more obedient women; many wealthy and powerful men in modern times can do that.
True success is never about indulging in such base pleasures.
Chen Wenbin did this mainly to have more children, spread his bloodline, and gain more help in the future.
For the hands, the pleasure aspect is secondary.
After escaping the pressures of survival, people should pursue wealth and power that grant them more freedom and choices, and then pursue the meaning of life, such as their place in history and their vision to change the world.
Chen Wenbin is currently in the third stage, and his goal is to become the Duke of Zhou and Liu Bang of this era.
The Duke of Zhou, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, reversed the development direction of Chinese civilization. His system of rites and music laid the foundation for Chinese civilization, transforming it from the ghost and priest civilization of the Shang Dynasty into a unified patriarchal, political, and sacrificial civilization based on the patriarchal bloodline system.
The so-called "Xia rulers and barbarian peoples" and "feudal states and state-building" were essentially the colonial expansion of the Ji-Zhou patriarchal civilization.
To put it bluntly, the idea was to have the Zhou vassals, along with their retainers and warriors, conquer the surrounding barbarian tribes, marry them to barbarian women, expand their bloodline, and use the system of rites and music to permanently transform them into Zhou people, making them part of Chinese civilization, thus avoiding the trend of the decline of Chinese civilization after the fall of the Shang Dynasty.
Chen Wenbin also recalled an article he had read that, according to the results of modern molecular biology research, 40% of modern Han Chinese men are descendants of three ancient people from 5,000 years ago, and more than 60% of Han Chinese men are descendants of two ancient people from 6,000 years ago. It can be said that in terms of bloodline, the Han Chinese are as pure as can be.
The ancestors of those two men, who make up 60% of the Han Chinese population, are almost certainly the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor.
As for the maternal genetic origins of the Han people, it is much more complicated. One can determine the history of the Huaxia people's conquest of the surrounding barbarians from their genes.
Now, Chen Wenbin is personally replicating the actions of those five ancient masters.
He was physically strong, enough to have at least several hundred or even a thousand direct descendants during his lifetime, if not to create an entire nation.
If these descendants continue to reproduce successfully, they could number in the millions or even tens of millions of descendants two hundred years from now!
But having offspring alone is not enough; a stable environment is also needed for the bloodline to continue spreading.
In terms of the natural environment, North America is vast and sparsely populated, making it an ideal location. In terms of the social environment, however, it requires the construction of a sufficiently strong and expansionist cultural system.
This requires learning from the Duke of Zhou, the three Semitic religions, and the wisdom of modern civilization.
In terms of culture and religion, the Duke of Zhou used the method of the Zhou emperor acting as the ruler of the people on behalf of Heaven, the divine right of kings, and the unity of politics and sacrifice. In terms of politics and military affairs, he used the system of rites and music to divide the people into ranks, and the Xia rulers and the Yi peoples to expand civilization and bloodlines.
This approach has its merits. After all, the most fundamental human relationship is blood ties, and even in modern times, clans and families remain the last organizations that individuals can rely on.
However, it also has many problems, such as the fixed-level system of rites and music, the decentralized system of states, and the inability of clans to form large communities. It can only be used as a reference.
As for Liu Bang, he was far less innovative in terms of systems. He inherited the imperial system established by Qin Shi Huang and retained some of the Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment system, but made virtually no innovations. With Emperor Wu of Han, Dong Zhongshu, monopolizing thought with his modified Confucianism that served imperial power, Chinese civilization raced headlong down the path of imperial autocracy—it can only be used as a reference.
As for the three Semitic religions, they rely on divine revelation and priestly rule, similar to the Shang Dynasty. They don't want to adopt this system because, although it can support an empire, it is actually outdated.
There are two intellectual directions that best suit his current needs: the Enlightenment based on British Deism and the Enlightenment based on the French supremacy of reason.
In the 16th century, the Catholic Church of Christianity gave rise to Protestantism, which in turn developed into Deism in England. Deism is inextricably linked to modern science. Meanwhile, the French Enlightenment, which prioritized reason, essentially replaced God with human reason, believing that reason was omnipotent.
Comparing the two, Deism suited his taste better, since this ideology is still relevant in the 21st century, and many top scientists are Deists.
According to Deists, God, or the Creator, is equivalent to the cosmic clockmaker and legislator.
The Creator established perfect natural laws when creating the world, and then withdrew and ceased to interfere.
Therefore, there are no miracles, revelations, or a personal God; humanity should base its faith on reason—this is essentially the modern concept.
In his book "On Truth," Edward Herbert, the father of Deism, put forward three main tenets and five creeds of Deism.
The three claims are:
First, it acknowledges the Creator's creation of the world, but not as a person, and that the Creator will not interfere with the world after creation.
Second, the world is governed by natural laws and can be understood rationally and scientifically.
Third, it opposes miracles, revelation, church authority, and superstition, and does not require any mystical rituals.
The five tenets are:
First, there exists a single, supreme God, the creator.
Second, humanity should revere the Creator.
Third, the core of faith should be virtue and justice.
Fourth, humanity needs to reflect on its sins and repent.
Fifth, believe in reincarnation and that good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished.
Because of these characteristics and beliefs, Deism was easily accepted by intellectuals, scientists, and even the general public of this era.
It is also quite suitable as a reference model for Chen Wenbin's ideological governance in the western territory. After all, even in the East, people are willing to believe in the existence of a God above their heads, rather than being atheists.
However, he had to be extremely cautious about this matter, since he was about to do something similar to the work of the Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with dreams), and he had to minimize any loopholes or future problems.
