Rebirth of South America as King

"Yu", a middle-aged driver in a white shirt is sitting in front of the carriage, holding a thick reed in his hand, and stopping the carriage steadily outside Guanghuamen.

"Several gentlemen, Chang'an City has arrived, entered the Guanghua Gate, and walked three or five miles north, which is the Imperial Palace Forbidden City."

The middle-aged coachman turned and smiled. "Changan City is forbidden to use large tricycles, so we can only send three people to Guanghuamen today. Please wait for a few more."

"It's not far from the city, so it's okay if we get off and walk by."

The curtain was pulled open, Tang Jingsong and two men in their 20s stepped down from the car and immediately took out a few notes from the body: "The fare for three people, one yuan and five cents, you have collected."

"Hey, thank you gentlemen, this is your change."

The wrinkles on the driver's face were squeezed together, and while pulling out two corner-sized banknotes from the cloth bag wrapped around his waist, he laughed: "No more, no less, there are exactly two small changes, please collect them."

"There is no need for change. The master has good skills in driving cars. I did not let the three of us experience bumps along the way, so you can save the two dimes."

"Thank you sir."

Looking at the three people on the opposite side, all dressed in bright clothes, unlike those lacking in money, the middle-aged driver was happy to put two small change back into the bag, with a smile on his face.

"I'm not afraid of the joke of the three gentlemen. I have been in South America for seven or eight years. At the beginning, I worked on a state-owned farm. Four years after the founding of the industry, two years of voluntary labor expired, and I knew more than 20 buddies. They came to Chang'an City and started a livelihood job. After coming to Chang'an City for four or five years, the original folks successively found a way to make a living and turned to other banks. They still rushed back and forth within a hundred miles of Changan City. Only me left.

Alas, when he was young, he didn't learn the ability to be close to him. He was near middle age, and he ran back and forth in a carriage as he did a decade ago. "

"Horse-riding is also a craft. I see that the master has a superb skills to drive a car. With this craft, it is not easy to become rich and rich, but in the bustling place of Beijing, it is not difficult to eat a bite."

Tang Jingsong was idle, and simply said a few words to the other party.

"It is not difficult to earn money to eat, but if you want to save money, the trustee said that it will be more difficult for a matchmaker to marry a daughter-in-law."

The driver shook his head, with a look of shame on his face

"After the Spring Festival, I'm 30 years old, and all my family's money adds up to only three or four hundred Chinese dollars. It's a long way from the cost of marrying my wife.

It ’s getting harder and harder to drive. It ’s good luck today. I met three gentlemen to take care of it and opened a big order. But after the Spring Festival, people who traveled to Beijing returned to the usual size. At that time, I wanted to make money. Difficult. "

"Why is this? According to the observation below, the wheels of the carriages to and from Chang'an City have been replaced with rubber pneumatic tires. With this pneumatic tire, when the vehicle is driven, the carriage is less bumpy and the driving speed is faster, compared to the previous wooden wheels. Carriages, shouldn't pneumatic carriages be more popular? Why isn't the business of catching a car so good? "

A young man beside Tang Jingsong asked.

"This little man is right. Since changing to rubber pneumatic tires, it has become much easier and faster than before, but because of the low threshold of the driving industry and the lack of proficient skills, there are hundreds of new ones every year. The immigrants entered the car-driving industry. They have just arrived in the mainland and have been used to living in the Far East. They can endure hardships and will work hard to solicit guests. Compared with them, they have stayed in the country for seven or eight, four or five years. Because there is a part of savings in the family, there is less effort to earn money, and it is difficult to compete for new immigrants when soliciting. "...

Ending the conversation with the coachman, Tang Jingsong led the two young people. First, they ordered a table at the inn in the city, and then the three of them sat together to discuss what they heard along the way.

"Jifu and Linshu, how do you feel along the way?"

Tang Jingsong sat in the top position and asked with a smile.

"Guo Tai Min An, the people are prosperous. Compared with the suffering lives of the Central Plains people, South America and the Han country can be called a paradise on earth."

Qiu Fengjia's expression of surprise and envy was undoubted. After a compliment on the South American country, he also expressed his own opinion: "Just by chatting with the coachman outside the city of Chang'an, I think that the South American country is rich. However, people have no worries about life. The price of food and meat is cheap. Without spending a lot of energy, they can have the opportunity to eat a meal of meat for three or five days. Such a comfortable life may cause people to be lazy and unconscious. Progress is detrimental to the future development of the country and the court. "

"Yi Jifu's opinion, how to govern, the most appropriate?"

"I think that the South American nation should follow the example of the Lucia Empire, and the government should come forward and nationalize all the land left by the Argentine whites and the uncultivated fertile land, and then according to the officials and generals' achievements in the previous wars Size, given to land of varying sizes.

For ordinary overseas immigrants, the government can take the form of lease to lease unowned land and uncultivated land to overseas immigrants at a low price, while collecting a certain amount of land rent and food tax each year. As a result, new immigrants Through labor, food can be obtained, and the central and local governments can also collect a large amount of land tax from overseas immigrants for the benefit of the country and the people. "

"Jiff's ideas are exactly the same as the reforms carried out by the Lucia Empire. You must have learned a lot about the Lucia reform recently."

Think of the reform of the land system in Tsarist Russia, Tang Jingsong guessed.

"Lucia is the largest country in the Europa continent. From now on, there are many points worthy of reference in the reform of the Lucia Empire, especially the reform of the land system, which is in line with the current situation in the South American and Han countries."

"Have Ji Fu considered that if the new immigrants have never owned their own land, there will be turmoil in the country for decades and a hundred years. Will these landless people take any action?"

"As long as the number of immigrants is limited, the population in South America and South Korea is scarce, and ordinary people do not worry about being hungry. There will be no ordinary people risking beheadings and rebelling."

"Haha, Giffa, your idea rested 20 years ago. It may not be the most effective way to concentrate resources to develop the country, but it is not the right time now."

Sitting on the side, He Ziyuan, who rarely spoke, poured a glass of spirits, and said with excitement, "Industry, industry is the only truth that the nation is peaceful, and the country is prosperous and strong! Any conservative and stubborn backward ruling class will be vulnerable to big industries. !!

Brother Jifu! Do you know any fatal flaws in the Lucia reform you recognize? "

"Also please ask Brother Lin Shu."

"Industry is the only way for the country to become rich and strong, and education is the foundation for the development of industry. In order to raise government funds, the Lucia Empire held the land that should have been given to the people, and then leased the land to squeeze it from the farmers at the bottom. interest.

I do not deny that the reform of the Lucia Empire is the easiest and fastest way to accumulate original capital, but it is also the most stupid way. The people are not cattle and sheep. The Lucia government can now sacrifice the bottom people for industrial development. In the future, officials relying on extracting the benefits of the common people will intensify and persecute the bottom people to despair. The tremendous power of despair will blow up the entire Lucia empire!

I never believed that officials of scholarly background would have sage-like ethics. As long as they were given the opportunity, they would always change their methods and extract benefits from the people. In the reform and reform system of the Lucia Empire, the landless people had A way to defend one's own interests? No, none!

The only thing that can protect the people's own interests is that the peasants have their own land, have the power to control the land themselves, have the power to speak to the central government, and fight back against local corrupt officials! "

He Ziyuan's young face showed a rare enthusiasm in this era: "It is completely impossible to expect those Eight Banners in the Forbidden City to understand these truths. Only in the South American Han country, a newly industrialized country, can the Han nationality be realized. Revival again! "

"Linshu, you still have the same temperament as in previous years."

He Ziyuan was a young talent that Tang Jingsong liked very much. Before he went to Annan, he appreciated the talents and knowledge of the other party. Therefore, Tang Jingsong specially entrusted him to invite He Ziyuan and another highly appreciated descendant of the Imperial Examination, Qiu Fengjia. In Han Dynasty in South America, I planned to recommend them to the emperor Li Mingyuan, but seeing He Ziyuan's enthusiasm for the so-called big industry and national revival ideas many years ago, Tang Jingsong could not help but have a doubt, and he invited He Ziyuan to South America Is it right or wrong?

Different from the radical and idealized He Ziyuan, Tang Jingsong has a smooth and flexible character while enthusiastic about serving the country. Under this influence, Tang Jingsong's official career became more and more smooth after entering the officialdom of the South American Han Dynasty. In 1882, a small bureau-level official gradually rose to the rank of deputy minister, and the official held the post of vice-minister of the foreign ministry. Moreover, because Hu Yaji, the chief of the foreign ministry, is too old, he will retire next year. In the race for the Chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he defeated many competitors and won a high position.

Inviting young and promising young talents to serve the country is a way for Tang Jingsong to strengthen his position in Li Mingyuan's heart, but it is difficult for him to predict whether a group of idealized young people will encounter frustration in the officialdom after taking power, and then affect To his own career prospects?

People will change with the change of time. He Ziyuan did not realize that the senior idol who had been angry and abandoned the office before leaving Annan will have a sophisticated and smooth side, and Tang Jingsong failed to predict that he seemed ordinary. One referral,

Changed the historical trajectory of a passionate young man, and also made him achieve greater achievements in another land.

He Ziyuan, January 23, 1865, was born in Shunyulu, Xingwozi, Shima Town, Xingning City, Guangdong Province. In 1881, at the age of sixteen, he participated in the Jiayingzhou Academy Examination and won the first place in the first class. He was recorded as a student and immediately went to Xingning County to perform his duties. In 1883, he was promoted to superintendent of education because of "juvenile mature, fair work, and good morals", supervising the county's educational work full-time. In March 1884, He Ziyuan set off from Guangzhou and took a freighter to travel to the United States to study basic education and the tea trade. At that time, the climax of the Chinese Exodus, 300,000 Chinese and their families were taken home by the Han country and chose to stay. Of the 40,000 to 50,000 Chinese who have been insulted by white people in the United States and witnessed the humble status of the Chinese overseas, He Ziyuan sprang up with the concepts of education and innovation and saving the country.

In August of the same year, He Ziyuan returned to China by boat. The following year, he founded the first western-style six-year system "Yunan-dong Elementary School ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~" in his hometown, and taught himself to the students. He taught Chinese and arithmetic. , History, geography, drawing, singing, gymnastics, labor and other courses.

In February 1888, Tongren School was founded. In May 1888, the Tongren School was reported to teach rebellious thoughts and closed by the Qing court.

In June, He Ziyuan was deeply aware of the decline of the country ’s power, and the government was responsible for corruption. He contacted the anti-Qing organization in Guangzhou. In October, the intelligence base established by the Han Dynasty in the mainland area was in the middle. Tang Jingsong in the post.

After entering the South American country, although the living standard of the local people is completely different from that of the Central Plains, what He Ziyuan is most concerned about is the impact of Han's industrialization on life.

Three national shipbuilding yards for bicycles and horse-drawn carriages, domestically-made films, video cameras, soda ash, and the Atlantic coast, which are well-known in the Western world.

Witnessing the earth-shaking changes in society and the people ’s lives due to industrialization, He Ziyuan regrets more and more, why he had an illusion about the Qing court and wasted precious time on the nobles of the Eight Banners of Qing court. The idea is really naive and ridiculous.

Seeing the huge achievements of industrialization, and the impact of industrialization, such as low-skilled industries such as coaches and coaches are gradually being replaced. Drivers and wharf laborers are not recognized because of their large characters and lack competitiveness. Immigrants take jobs, etc.

Although various phenomena have caused some social problems, these problems are within the controllable range, and they will have a small impact on the overall national industrial development and will not cause drastic changes in society.
