Chapter 96, Nanyang University
Seemingly satisfied with everyone's performance, the old man in gorgeous clothes smiled slightly, and said slowly: "People were caught in the parade, and it is impossible to fish them out directly."
There is a price to be paid for doing something wrong. Whatever the reason, participating in demonstrations is going against the legations, and there will certainly be punishment.
But not everyone needs to lose their heads. Except for the organizers of the march and those involved in the case, the other participants were accomplices - the crime did not lead to death.
This time there are so many people involved that the international community is paying close attention to it, and the legation will set up an international tribunal to try it.
Before the end of the trial, we can only make a little bit of a difference to make their life in the room better. What can be operated is the place where the sentence will be served after the trial.
The victims of the embassy case were Russians and were most likely serving their sentences in the Far East or Siberia. It's all a ghost place in the ice and snow, and it can basically be regarded as having a place to go and no return.
All we can do is choose a good place for them. Wait for the limelight to pass, and then find a way to fish people out. ”
Hearing this answer, everyone was stunned. You must know that pre-trial fishing and post-trial fishing are two completely different concepts.
The former can be treated as if nothing happened, and after coming out, keep a low profile for a while, and the matter will be revealed; The latter is an eternal political stain.
In a country like the Far Eastern Empire, which is afraid of foreign countries, the government does not dare to appoint a stunned young man who follows the Japanese and works against the foreign powers. No matter how strong one's abilities are, the political future is bleak.
A young man in blue said with a trembling voice: "President Liu, do you think you can think of a way again?" Once tried by the International Tribunal, Decheng's future will be completely ruined! ”
There is no way, as brothers of the same clan, the two went to participate in the parade together. Now that he is fine, but his cousin has gone in, Wang Deran has no way to go home and explain.
If you don't do it, you will be suspected of having ulterior motives and deliberately cheating your cousin in order to steal the family's political resources.
As he spoke, Wang Deran had already knelt down. Since he was a child, he has never begged people so much, but now there is no way.
This kneeling is not only to ask for his cousin's political future, but also to ask for his own political future.
The man has gold under his knees, but he can't stop the book's spirit. Seeing Wang Deran kneeling, several friends who usually made good friends also knelt down.
The rest of the people had no choice but to turn their hearts sideways and reluctantly follow them.
This time it was the old man's turn and he couldn't sit still. Although it is not a traditional ritual for the elderly to receive the kneeling of the younger in Japan, this is Japan.
Influenced by European thought, a new generation of young people is very resistant to the ritual of kneeling.
Chairman Liu's reception of everyone was to make political investments and make friends in advance, not to make enemies.
While dragging the nearest person with both hands, he pretended to be frightened and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly!" ”
Seeing that everyone didn't get up, President Liu instantly changed his face: "You are tormenting old man!" ”
After speaking, he even made a posture of worshipping back. Everyone woke up instantly and hurriedly got up to help.
The rules of Confucian etiquette have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone has not forgotten in what capacity they came.
The younger generation bows down to the elders, which is the proper righteousness; If you let the elders bow down to the juniors, you won't want to go back and mingle.
After a flurry of business, the crowd returned to their seats. The topic is back to the central point - fishing for people.
President Liu said helplessly: "Everyone, it's not that the old man refuses to help, it's really more than enough to help.
The Russian embassy case is too much involved, and no one can get out of it.
What you may not know is that a number of high-ranking officials, including the Japanese government's Minister of Police, the Tokyo Police Chief, and the head of security in the embassy district, have committed suicide at home.
In order to reduce its responsibility, the Japanese government is going crazy. At this time, no matter who gets up, they can't please it.
If you want to get someone, unless the legation comes forward. Although we have some friendship with the embassies of various countries, we have not reached the point where we can invite the envoys of various countries. ”
It's not that you don't move, the main thing is that it's not worth the money. If the power behind these people is stronger, or if the family behind them is willing to spend blood, it is not impossible to negotiate.
It is not necessary for all the ministers to come forward, but only one or two of them need to speak.
To do this, it is difficult to say and easy to say. The most direct and effective way is to throw money, and there will always be more than a dozen ministers in the legation who are greedy for money.
The attributes and preferences of these people have long been clear to the Chung Hwa Association, and the channels for gift-giving are ready-made.
did not use the Dafa of throwing money, the most important thing is that there is not only one Wang Decheng who was affected by the pond fish.
Recently, Chairman Liu has encountered more than a dozen cases. Many people have continued the disaster of innocence, and Wang Decheng deserves it in comparison.
The Japanese are protesting against the legation's violation of sovereignty, and you have nothing to do with it to run to join in the fun? If you dare to go to the parade, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.
If you do it yourself, you can fish it out, so the others who have been wronged naturally can't be left in it!
As a non-governmental organization, the Chung Wah Association has been able to gain a foothold in Japan because of the support of many Chinese people, on the fairness of handling things, and on being able to help everyone solve problems at critical moments.
The difficulty of fishing out of one person is completely different from that of fishing out of a group of people.
If you really do that, it is estimated that the contacts accumulated by the Chung Hwa Association over the years will have to be exhausted all at once.
Moreover, this is just the beginning. With the continuation of the investigation of the Russian Embassy, it is not known how many compatriots will be affected in the future.
If you use up your network resources now, you won't have to play in the future. Purely by throwing money into it, the Chinese Association is so rich.
Being able to become the vice president of the Chung Wah Association, responsible for the day-to-day work, and widely recognized by the Chinese community, President Liu is naturally not an idle person.
It's okay to help, but definitely within your means. The powerful need to be taken care of, and ordinary people can't ignore it. The former can bring profit, and the latter can bring fame.
It is precisely because of the degree that Chairman Liu, who is not prominent in background and has the highest net worth, can become the leader of the Chinese world in Japan.
As for the chairman, he has always been in the Nanyang area, and even Japan rarely comes, so he doesn't care about anything at all.
The greatest contribution was to establish contact between the association and the embassies of various countries, and to withstand the pressure from the Japanese government.
After being silent for a long time, Li Boan spoke: "President Liu, can you introduce Minister Jose for us?" ”
Obviously, he had already seen President Liu's intentions. This is the tradition of the Chinese people, who only speak three points. The remaining seven people who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand don't need to understand.
In contrast, Chairman Liu is already very interesting. I was afraid that everyone would not understand it when they were young, so I gave a suggestion almost clearly "to find a member of the legation".
Although the Chung Wah Association plays a multifaceted role, there is only one real backstage.
Now if you want to fish for people, it seems that the ministers of various countries can speak, but there are only a few that really have weight.
If you want to give gifts to the relationship, you must also find the right owner. Ordinary ministers of small countries, even if they are willing to help, may not be able to help.
Talking to smart people is simple, and it's easy to understand. Deep down, Chairman Liu has already scored everyone.
Political investment also needs to be selective, and not everyone is worth investing in advance. Most people establish a nodding friendship, and it is enough to mix up a few favors.
What really needs to be made with your heart is always the one who has real materials. Only these smart people can climb higher and go farther in officialdom.
"Referrals aren't a big deal, but you get ready. As you may have heard, the Holy Roman Empire was very strict in its rule.
Sending money directly not only does not work, but may offend people.
This is also an opportunity for you. If you can take the opportunity to establish a relationship with the HRE, it will also be very helpful for your future career. ”
Absolutely sincere, if it weren't for Li Boan's quick enough reaction to let Chairman Liu see the potential, he would never have mentioned so much.
At the beginning of the 20th century, East Asia was still the frontier of the great powers. Even the closed Far Eastern Empire was not able to withstand the torrent of the times.
To this day, if you want to mix well in officialdom, building good relations with foreign powers is a compulsory course.
It is also different for the same powers, and it is relatively easier to be scolded for making friends with aggressive countries such as Japan and Russia, but it is safer to make friends with Shinra, which does not expand in East Asia.
Chinese people are not stupid, and it is still clear to everyone which ones are aggressors and which ones are not.
Why HRE didn't expand eastward, the outside world has different explanations. Some people speculate that it is because of the feelings of the people of Lanfang Autonomous Province, after all, this is a large taxpayer.
The annual tax payment accounts for 40% of the total fiscal revenue of Austrian Nanyang, and the most important thing is that it is a net profit and does not need to pay administrative expenses.
Other areas seem to have higher incomes, but after deducting administrative expenses, there is not much left, and some islands have to be reversed.
A steady increase in income every year, that is, steady happiness, is far stronger than direct violent plunder.
In recent decades, Lan Phuong Autonomous Province has been very stable, and even if there is a problem, it is solved internally.
Unless it is a diplomatic problem that needs to be resolved by the central government, other aspects never cause trouble to the central government.
The HRE is at its peak, and it is not the last years of the dynasty, so the central government will naturally not engage in any moths and toss its own money bags.
Another theory is that the HRE Emperor was obsessed with oriental culture and developed special feelings for not allowing the people below to expand eastward.
Anyone who has been to the Vienna Palace knows this. There are indeed more buildings and collections full of oriental culture.
As for whether it can influence the monarch's decision-making, no one knows. However, in a monarchy, the monarch's personal preferences can indeed influence national policy.
I can't figure out the specific truth, but if people don't invade themselves, that's definitely a good thing.
Compared with a group of lords who always want to invade their own country, a great power that never invades itself, it obviously seems more cordial.
Against this backdrop, not only have relations been better at the diplomatic level, but also among the people. Although not all of them have a good feeling, at least there is no hatred.
……
The Russian embassy case continues to ferment, but Prince William, who is in the Nanyang Governor's Palace, is in endless trouble.
If the Nanyang region is regarded as a colony and depends on the HRE for survival, then none of these problems are a problem.
Unfortunately, the situation has changed now, and in order to become an independent state, then many problems must be solved.
In a sense, this is also Lao Tzu's division of family property. The eldest son inherited the family business and got the largest share, and as the second son, he also got a rich property, but he still needs to go deeper.
Running an industry is inseparable from talent, and what the colony lacks most is talent.
In addition to military talents who can fight, there is a shortage of talents in all industries, including medical care, education, and industry.
Although Prince William had already recruited a large number of followers from China by the time he arrived, it was still a drop in the bucket for the Nanyang region of Nuoda.
Naturally, there is no need to think about the high-tech industry. Just doing a good job in basic industries and improving basic supporting facilities is enough for William to struggle for life.
The foundation of the Nanyang region is too weak to take shortcuts. The best developed Lanfang area is an autonomous province.
The issue of "autonomy" is a top priority in HRE. There are also a large number of sub-municipalities and states in the country, and when they are touched, it is a serious political issue.
Even if William is the prince and touches on this sensitive issue, he can only obediently go home and be a rice borer, and he doesn't have to think about anything else.
Of course, William himself did not fight the doctrine of the Lanfang Autonomous Province. For no other reason, the Austrian South Seas region was too large for the country to agree to rule all of it.
Including the areas under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Palace, which may be divided again in the future. The central government will retain only a few large city strongholds, and the rest will be established as autonomous states.
William was not dissatisfied with this. Even if it does split, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, in the end, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, either cheapen their own sons, or cheap their nephews.
Now there is no split management, it is the third generation of the Habsburg dynasty that is too young to hold the field.
Rubbing his forehead, Governor William instructed: "Send a telegram to inquire about the recruitment of talents in the country, and how far it has progressed. ”
Now William really understands why the noble lords are crazy to pull people from the country. It's not that everyone has so much money that they don't have a place to spend it, but no one can't do anything.
Taking education as an example, HRE did popularize compulsory education for all, but this "universal population" was limited to all citizens.
The native land is covered by "the whole people", but the colonies are not. Mo said that education is compulsory for all, not even for the white community.
Those who were able to enjoy compulsory education in the colonies were native immigrants, and immigrants had to make a certain contribution before they were eligible for these benefits.
Not to mention the natives, who have not been exterminated, it is because the lords they have met have a conscience.
This is also a feature of the HRE, under all the colonies, there is a group of small and medium-sized lords to assist the colonial government in managing the place.
Theoretically, if William was not willing to take care of things, he could do nothing. Without the Governor's Palace, the people below will also run on their own.
Of course, ethnic conflict is not serious in the South Seas. Today, the largest part of the population is mestizo.
It really does "you have me, I have you". To talk about race is to play hooliganism. With a perfect social order and a connection by blood, the concept of nationality has been relatively diluted.
Of course, this is also because the population of the Austrian Nanyang region was originally small, and at the beginning of colonization, there were only three or four million people in the local area.
If you are in the Philippines and Java, which have large populations, you can't do it.
The Spaniards have worked hard for hundreds of years, but they have not really digested the Philippines, and the biggest reason is that there are too many locals and too few immigrants.
The population growth in the area directly under the Austrian Nanyang Governor's Mansion is not fast, but the population of Lanfang next door is bursting. From the initial four or five hundred thousand, it has swelled to nearly 10 million now, a 20-fold increase in 40 years.
In fact, this is still the result of the Far Eastern Empire's fear that after Lan Fang becomes bigger, it will have thoughts about the mainland and deliberately restrict it, otherwise the local population would not know how much it has swelled.
After experiencing the richness of the Nanyang region firsthand, William's determination to develop the area has been strengthened.
Lan Fang is a ready-made example, the original Borneo (Kalimantan Island), the natural conditions are not good, and it is not ranked at all in the South Seas.
Tropical rainforest climate, because of the hot and humid climate near the equator, except for a few areas where the land is fertile, most areas are relatively poor, and the mineral resources are also very average.
The region, which was almost equal to rotten land, turned out to be the richest region in the South Seas, and economically surpassed the most fertile island of Java.
The reason is naturally because of people, and the barrenness of the land is also relative. Compared to most of the land in the northwestern part of the Far Eastern Empire, Borneo remained fertile soil.
The soil is not enough fertilizer to make up. It just so happened that several more guano islands were occupied by the HRE, which laid the foundation for the development of agriculture in Borneo.
There is a large difference in seasonal rainfall, and the lack of water in the dry season can be compensated for by the construction of reservoirs. As long as there is perseverance, even if there is no machinery, it can be dug up manually.
By hard work, Borneo was developed. With successful cases, William naturally has confidence in developing other areas.
In the field of agriculture, HRE is the king of this year. Not only is agricultural technology the world's first, but also agricultural infrastructure construction is the world's first.
If you add up the various water conservancy projects and infrastructure in the HRE, both in terms of scale and quantity, they are more than the rest of the world combined.
In fact, agriculture in the South Seas doesn't have to worry about it. As long as there is enough food to eat, there is no hope for export.
The Far East is only a buyer from Japan, and it is still a poor ghost, and it is impossible to count on agriculture to make a fortune.
If you really want to make a fortune, you still have to rely on industry, especially the light industry with quick results, which is inseparable from talents.
Frankly, William didn't have much confidence in recruiting talent from within the country. There is no way, there are too many robbers.
The talent gap in Austrian Nanyang is not 800 thousand, and the problem cannot be solved by recruitment.
If you want to really solve the problem, the best way is to cultivate it yourself. Primary and secondary schools are easy to run, and they can always be established if they think of a way, but the difficult ones are universities.
There is no shortage of real experts and professors. If you can live well in your own country, why should people come to the colony to suffer?
