As the Vietnamese who have passed down to future generations and still continue the tradition of celebrating the Spring Festival, of course, due to their regional relations, they naturally cannot eat dumplings for the Spring Festival like people in northern China, but with New Year's dumplings and glutinous rice cakes and characteristics, the zongzi is also glutinous rice, pork, and bean paste-based meat dumplings, and the taste is used to eating.

Unlike China's habit of keeping the New Year and not going out on Chinese New Year's Eve, the festival is a very regional thing, the cold winter in the north, Chinese New Year's Eve is almost the coldest time, naturally there is this arrangement, speaking of which, the Spring Festival is also a festival made in the agricultural leisure time, naturally to comply with the law of agricultural development.

Vietnamese people spend Chinese New Year's Eve, but instead run out and wander around, which is called picking green, that is, to bring the branches home with their own hands and ask for good luck.

This is also the relationship between the region and the festival, the tropics will not have the living habits of the cold zone, the cold zone will not have the living habits of the tropics, of course, there are exceptions, Australia that kind of Chinese New Year's Eve heat death place, because there are more and more Chinese, is it also beginning to make a fuss about the need for the New Year.

Jinshan Town is a great place to be.

He was almost the first place under the rule of the Council of Elders to achieve a meat diet exceeding grain, and all kinds of meat and livestock from northern China, of course, mainly mutton, showed very good adaptability, and those idle people who were originally in the imperial capital experienced the initial shock, except for a small number of people who were ignorant and collapsed, most of them showed an attitude of resignation, all of them had to work in exchange for food, and slowly had their own arable land, but their attitudes began to change.

The people of this era are still very firm in their attachment to the land, and under the inspiration of the land certificate issued by the elders, the enthusiasm for labor is still there, although a small number of people inevitably embark on the days of abduction and abduction in the old imperial capital, but the basic trend is still very normal.

Of course, much more mutton than the population can only be digested desperately, except for a small part of the tribute to the elders, in order for them to return to their hometowns and ancestral graves as soon as possible, and the rest began to make all kinds of mutton products, shabu mutton can no longer satisfy everyone, and what mutton, roast mutton, has also appeared, although there is a lack of spices, but in their interior, salt is still not lacking.

Australia has had a good year.

In the whole of Hebei, although it cannot be said that everything is going well, but the problem of Liaoning salary that has plagued the people in the past is almost none, and after two years of tax exemption, there has been a phenomenon of population return in Hebei, after all, at this time, several southern provinces still adhere to the old method, relying on agricultural taxes as the main source of income, fortunately, there are no natural disasters in the south of the Yangtze River, barely maintained.

And in the imperial capital and the surrounding area, the news of the permanent exemption from agricultural taxes under the rule of the elders has been fermented, disseminated, and confirmed after a year, and finally confirmed, officials of all sizes in several southern provinces did feel the pressure, and this kind of behavior of voting with their feet is not simple.

Politics is a bit of a foul when you compare with a simple exemption from agricultural taxes, but you don't compare with the elders who have a huge amount of extra money.

However, the officials and people in the south did not know the truth of the facts, they only knew that the north was doing a good job and prospering, of course, in the eyes of the traditional Confucian scholars, no matter who was in power in the imperial capital, it would be destroyed sooner or later if it was built on a large scale and abused the people's power.

In the view of traditional Confucian scholars, the people under them are similar to cattle and horses, cutting meat when needed, or using it to work, without considering any wages or seasons.

Therefore, the older Confucian scholars regard the construction of various pavilions and pavilions as a maladministration, and it is better for the government to do nothing, which is good.

The elders who did the opposite, not only built large steel mills, trunk railways and feeder roads all over Hebei, it can be said that the farmers of the whole Hebei were busy, but fortunately, the money in their hands was enough.

In the past, there might have been too much money, but fortunately, the elders had expected that, on the one hand, the large amount of goods purchased from other places consumed these stocks of silver, and did not cause huge inflation, and on the other hand, the passage of overseas immigrants was gradually unblocked, and the manpower was gradually less crowded.

In the boiling heat, this New Year is also a special taste, except for a small number of frustrated people, who could have relied on the benefits of the Ming magnates, after finding that the upstarts of the new court have no interest in this, they can only itch and scold them for not knowing how to use people, this year, it is not bad.

Even if it is a southerner, in fact, compared to the history of the old time and space, it is actually progressive, the elders have no interest in the southern expedition by force, and are more willing to use economic means to promote reunification, of course, it is not a more unique way to give money, but a little bit of wooing with foot voting.

Therefore, although many southern provinces, at most, county officials collect money and grain in the name of guarding against thieves, there is no need to really make any big moves, and civilians still have a good life.

Although under all kinds of obstruction, the imperial capital's policy of permanently exempting agricultural taxes has not been conveyed in many places, just like after 2001, all kinds of taxes and fees canceled by the central government still have to be collected, but after all, people are alive, and although the five-cent troops bought by the elders are scarce and the standard is poor, the effect is still very good, and the various landlords and lords are becoming more and more unable to press this trend.

As a result, all kinds of exploitation methods did not dare to make too much trouble, and the people of several southern provinces could actually live a good life, of course, the real heroes and elders of this kind of good life were naturally not in everyone's calculations.

In this era, having enough to eat is a good day.

In North Korea, the original slaves at the bottom were the happiest people, and those who could live with a hot meal could eat meat during the New Year.

In Mongolia, although several leaders still want to go to war, they really can't fight anymore and don't want to fight.

In London, although they are not interested in the Chinese New Year, and many upper echelons understand the fact that the Chinese are involved in the internal affairs of the United Kingdom, driven by countless interests, and what people do is clearly to buy a future, and simply admit it.

There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, and the completely cold-blooded attitude of the British in dealing with domestic and foreign affairs makes people shudder, but they have to admire it to the extreme.

At the same time, the research of bacteriology has also begun to progress, and scientific research is often not incompetent, but there is no understanding of it, and once discovered, in fact, the progress is very rapid.

At least a few people left in London to Xu Hao's report, the upper class of London has washed their hands with hot water, drinking hot water as an option for a new life, and the superiority of chopsticks has also been mentioned, congratulations, at the same time, because the prince was picked up in advance, the king hung the street lamp in advance, this New Year's of Britain, although it has never been a Chinese New Year, but it is also more leisurely, not to mention the cement factories invested by the elders, soap factories have also been invested in accordance with the relatives of each family, after careful study, We all know that these technologies will bring great progress to Europe.

The Netherlands, Amsterdam is actually very cold, but this Chinese year is the most satisfying, the children in the city basically got a lot of small fireworks as gifts, in fact, some small fireworks, and some bear children learned to be in a certain adult passing by, deliberately threw a small cannon behind him, and blew up to scare him, however, as the first large-scale fireworks show in Europe in this era, it is also very joyful, after all, the first European power in this era is clearly the Dutch, At least before the reunification of Germany and the emperor of France, the prosperity of the Dutch was still good, at this time, as a sea coachman, a huge amount of overseas wealth was transported to the Netherlands through the transportation industry, and the part-time population that was fed by the accident also gave back to the society, and many new sciences started in the Netherlands.

As a gathering of aristocrats in Europe, the need for paternity testing is naturally more vigorous, under all kinds of requirements, before the negotiation of various scientific and technological cooperation, Xu Hao had to cheer up and teach the knowledge of blood and genetics, although he is not a professional, but under the influence of his ears, it is still possible to teach these guys.

At the same time, outside of the elders, under their indirect influence, due to the early recovery of Taiwan, and at the same time Zheng Zhilong's fleet began to penetrate more organically into Southeast Asia, the local company directors who felt the pressure stepped up to deal with it on the one hand, and on the other hand, they further monitored the ordinary Chinese in Indonesia, and the elders took advantage of the behavior of the Tainan villagers to take Taiwan, which brought them a bad reaction.

After Li Dingguo returned to Sichuan, he also knew the fact that the imperial capital could not be opposed, Zhang Xianzhong was a rogue even if he was a rogue, he was also a smart rogue, just as in history, they were not interested in going back to Shaanxi and going back to their hometown, Shaanxi would not recover a little bit of vitality until at least a few hundred years later.

Going south, just like Li Dingguo, who dominated Yunnan in history, is ready to fight.

However, the imperial capital is still the simple and joyful imperial capital, and the gentry and gentry everywhere, no matter what kind of thoughts they have, secretly send their nephews and cronies to give gifts, even if they meet with someone they know, it is a visit to the prince.

For the elders to leave the prince as a disguise, it is simply a second flag.

There is also a bottom line and guidelines for taking refuge, Yan Shenggong took the lead in taking refuge in history, and only then did there be countless times that the water was too cold, Chang Kaishen, the Minister of Transportation, had some insight, and ordered someone to bring a gun to bring Yan Shenggong to Chongqing, otherwise......

If you want people to take refuge, you have to think about others, first prepare the house, car, and sister, and then think of a good reason for others, preferably the kind that is particularly aware of righteousness, not the kind that makes people traitors.

In such a situation, it is not very good to be a traitor.

Of course, the presbyterian council is happy with this, although it does not specifically order people to tidy up the city and do a good job of hygiene, but it is still inevitable that they will be able to see the new way of life, as long as they have some brains, they can naturally understand the difference.

Of course, their evaluation is not what the elders care about, they only need to reduce the intensity of resistance a little to make people satisfied, as for the ignorant scholars after arriving in the city governed by the traverser, they see the rapid changes, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the scholars worship when they meet, and from then on, the loyalty is full and locked, contributing to the construction of a new society.

This is a fairy tale.

The thinking of adults cannot be changed.

As a certain emperor said, the victory of Prussia was decided long ago on the podium of elementary school teachers, this is by no means empty talk, but an objective fact, the reason why Germany finally overthrew poor France and became a hegemon on the European continent is that it understood this very early on, brainwashing to the end, even the "Austrians" can be washed into Germans, you say it is amazing.

"I have also come into contact with a lot of literati, but I also know a little about them, and I understand that except for a few people, it is almost impossible to win them over, unless we directly engage their next generation, because we can give them everything, but there is one thing, you can't give these Confucian students, then there is no need to talk about it."

Li Xiangqian was dressed in a black leather jacket, wrapped himself tightly, no different from an ordinary little rich man, his hair was naturally covered, but he pulled a woman by his side, they had just come face to face with a few scholars from the south, and the other party was obviously very surprised by Zhao Jiaren, who was a little outstanding, although the imperial capital itself was a little more open, but such a big-footed woman who was taller than them naturally attracted attention.

Rao is like this, Zhao Jiaren listened to a few words that were not very good, naturally he was very angry, and he didn't kill a few of them, but he had a good temper.

She naturally complained, these scholars should have been killed directly, is it useful to be so gentle.

After listening to the explanation, Zhao Jiaren said, "You can't do it either?" ”

"Ah, I can't either, you see, we can't give them a sense of honor as the ruling class, this thing is the foundation of the survival of scholars, I remember it is Mr. Zhu, isn't it like this when he was a child, there is no one in the family who reads, he will be bullied, so, even if he is from the poorest background, he has to find a way to provide for a scholar, before and after, in order to read to Mr. Zhu, how much did it cost? But it's worth it. ”

"But, you see, the Confucian students don't understand big data, they don't understand industry, they don't understand economics, if they are still dominant, like that kind of village sage thing, you know, quite a village sage, the first thing to do is the weak people, if the people are not weak, how do you ride on their necks and? If someone wants to be a village sage, it is to be weak to the people, and if the people are weak, can the country be strong? ”

"Understood."

"Therefore, the world in which scholars exist ended many years ago, after the opening of the Age of Discovery."

Li Xiangqian suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about work today, those scholars will go to the trash box sooner or later, let's go buy New Year's goods, those stickers, and gadgets, if I get back to the old time and space, I will be a billionaire directly, what Ruyao, what Tang Bohu, when the time comes, I will be qualified to marry you." ”
