Volume VIII 1085 Naturalization!

Next chapter

At the end of 1868, at this New Year's banquet, the Chinese people's order, which was proposed by Xiao Letian, finally became the Chinese code followed by the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the Ryukyu Kingdom became the first member of the Chinese United Kingdom.

Today is destined to be a day that will go down in history, and it is absolutely a supreme honor to be able to swear an oath at this moment, but what the hell will it be after ten days? People will always remember only the glory of the first echelon, and who will remember the second echelon later?

The businessman has a very sensitive intuition, and the bull shopkeeper vows that he will never give up this golden opportunity!

He suddenly knelt on the ground and cried "woo woo...... Prime Minister, why? Why do you want to exclude us, if I don't get an invitation, it's just that, you obviously invited me to come, why did you make me wait for ten days......

"I'm not convinced, I'm absolutely not convinced! I have no credit for the prime minister's great cause, and I have worked hard! In the past few years, I have allocated grain and grass for the prime minister, and I have not dared to slack off at all, I am not showing merit, I just ask the prime minister to give us this opportunity......

Before Xiao Letian could speak, suddenly another person knelt next to the cattle shopkeeper and shouted, "And me, don't forget me......, Prime Minister! When the French called, I broke my family and didn't ask for anything in return! Today I only want this honor, the prime minister will accept me, and I will apply for a Chinese ......nationality today."

As soon as these two people stirred up the situation, the entire VIP viewing area was in chaos, and many wealthy businessmen from Tanggu, Jiangnan, and Nanyang rushed out to ask for this glory, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Xiao Letian frowned and said, "You must know, who can become a Chinese is not up to me Xiao Lotian alone, you must apply, and after the review of the Citizens' Assembly, you can become a Chinese!"

"Now that the rules have been made, what's the use of not following them?"

At this time, King Shangtai, who was the first to take the oath, suddenly spoke: "Father Shang, I do have an idea! If the noble council and the citizens' council want to be built, I am afraid that the ten days you said is absolutely not enough, and the candidates for the members of the two councils must also be carefully considered.

"In that case, I propose that the prime minister first set up a temporary preparatory body, and the prime minister has the final right to make the final decision on these temporary applications! After the parliament is ready, you are gradually transferring power, this is the safest way!"

King Shangtai's mention was supported by all the people present, and Xiao Letian nodded, "Okay, since you have applied to join the Chinese clan, then this application has been unified by me, please come and take the oath!"

The cow shopkeeper of the Four Seas Merchant was crying and the snot bubbles were coming out, and his right hand was rubbing back and forth on his chest, and he dared to put it on the Chinese code spotlessly.

Where is the oath of the cattle shopkeeper, he was crying throughout the whole process, he cried out the hearts of all the businessmen in the world, and the unfair treatment of the merchant class for thousands of years has all turned into tears at this moment.

The giant businessmen who can watch the ceremony today are all business tycoons who have a close relationship with Lotte and banks and have made great contributions to Xiao Letian's career.

Xiao Lotian also pushed the boat along the river, and it was not a special care, but in order to hurry up to the end, he could only let two or three people or even four or five people take the oath together, because there were already some elderly guests in the crowd who needed to participate in the soup to maintain their bodies, and even the young people couldn't bear it for a whole day.

But something unexpected happened, and when the last of the oath-takers walked back to the crowd beamingly, a very faint voice sounded in the corner.

"Prime Minister...... Can I apply for Chinese citizenship?"

It was Chinese, Chinese that everyone could understand, but the accent was not four, and everyone looked into the corner to see that it was actually a black man, a black man that few people knew.

For a whole day, more than ninety percent of the people in the hall did not notice that there was a black man in the corner of the VIP area, they were not only attracted by the Chinese order, but also a kind of discrimination against black people.

Not to mention that the Chinese do not know how to discriminate against foreign races, ancient China scolded the barbarians more often, and now the white people are beginning to rule the world in the face of white Chinese are a little inferior, but in the face of these black charcoal-like Kunlun slaves, the Chinese still have a sense of superiority.

The three black men in the corner were simply ignored by everyone!

Now one of the black men suddenly asked to apply for a Chinese nationality membership? This sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, but most of the people who watched it for a long time still did not know him, and no one knew what the old black man's name was or what he was doing.

Wang Huaiyuan wanted to step forward to remind the prime minister, but Xiao Letian stopped him by raising his hand.

"I don't need you to remind me, I didn't forget him! Jim...... Friends from faraway America, Jim who came to Asia with the Fortune!"

Xiao Lotian stepped forward and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, Jim was flattered, he didn't expect that the prime minister, who was in a good situation, would still remember this insignificant little person.

With his hands clasped together, the black American mechanic who was the first to help Xiao Lotian cast the Eagle Ocean felt the temperature in Xiao Letian's palm, and his excited eyes were full of tears at that moment.

"Thank you, I didn't expect you to remember me, Prime Minister......"

"How could I have forgotten that the first time I saw you was on the Fortune in the Bohai Sea, and you led the minting team to operate an American-made stamping and minting machine, and you helped me make the most beautiful silver coins in Asia!"

"I won't forget it, you have been eating and living on the ship for the past few years, and you have suffered countless hardships, but you have no complaints and work hard......"

"I remember another accident where the pressure pipe of the boiler ruptured, and you closed the main valve at the risk of being burned to death by steam, and in that accident you burned 80% of the skin on your left arm......"

"I haven't forgotten you, so when the Ryukyu Mint was officially put into operation, you were the first engineer I hired, and you have credit!"

Jim burst into tears, he held Xiao Letian's hand and said, "Prime Minister, I have learned a lot of Chinese in recent years, I can communicate with everyone normally, and I am willing to accept the legal and moral constraints here! I want to ask, can I apply to become a Chinese under such conditions!"

"Yes, of course!" Xiao Letian said categorically, "The Chinese have never been defined by blood, the Chinese are the same culture and morality. You speak Chinese, write Chinese, accept Chinese laws, and recognize Chinese moral standards...... Of course you're one of the Chinese!"

"Not only that, but your merits will not be erased, you also have the right to be knighted!" mobile phone users please visit wènhttp://mnet
