After a few days of inspection in Enterprising Township with Jindalai, Wang Dazhuang rode further south to a new settlement called Endeavor Township, a new township with only about 1,500 people near the small town of Florence on the west bank of the Paraná River.

Forgive us for using the word "only" here, which is relative to the developed eastern seaboard. In fact, in the desolate Hexi region, the 1,500-strong Struggle Township is actually quite lively, even more lively than many long-established Spanish towns.

Of the 1,500 pioneers, more than one-third were traditionally Far Eastern immigrants, one-third were native-born young people, and nearly one-third were non-national laborers. The percentage of these people who are married is quite low, and some of them were married before they came here, but this is not common.

It is to be expected that in the next few years, it will be the young people who were born on the East Coast who will be the first to get married. Their values and living habits are more similar, and they also have a certain amount of capital - although the little floating wealth they carried when they left home has been exhausted in the process of land reclamation, some parents who miss and care about their children will still find ways to send some money and things, which makes their group's living situation much better than others.

No way, that's the reality! Nationals born in the country now dominate the population structure of the East Coast (59.2%), and they are very close to the Chinese in the East in terms of blood, but culturally they are already somewhat different, which is related to the social order, environment and many other factors in which they live.

For example, the people of the East Coast are very fond of talking about business and maritime trade, and the participation of the whole society is very high, regardless of whether they are young or old. People are not ashamed of doing business, nor do they feel that there is anything wrong with chasing profits, and the whole society is talking about where there are new opportunities to make a fortune, and the sense of restlessness is pervasive throughout the country, which is quite different from China, which is quietly worrying; At the same time, the people here are also very warlike, both the army and navy have a very high prestige among the people, the head of the army has a very large say in the government, and the largest part of the government's financial expenditure is military spending, which is unimaginable and unattainable in traditional China in peacetime; People here are very fond of enjoying Chinese costumes and delicacies, which can be seen from the influx of goods from India, Persia, the East Indies, Africa, America, Europe, China and other places into the East Coast, the people of the East Coast are very fond of consuming these foreign goods, which is different from traditional China, and of course this may also involve a huge difference in economic level between the two.

In short, there is indeed a certain difference between the second and third generations of East Coast citizens who have received more education (although primary education has never been universalized nationwide), better living conditions since childhood (eating beef and wearing leather clothes), and the whole society is more open, and the second and third generations of citizens who are more connected to the world are indeed different from the Chinese mainland culture. If you regard the culture of Chinese mainland as the main culture, then the east coast culture may be regarded as a sub-culture and subculture derived from it, because of the diversity of Chinese civilization, some characteristics of the east coast culture can find corresponding places in some specific regions of Chinese mainland or a specific period in history, so it can also be said that the east coast culture is to amplify a certain part of Chinese culture and shrink another part, which is the difference caused by the environment, geography, social and economic foundation, which is inevitable.

Of course, the people of the East Coast are certainly not happy to say that the East Coast culture is a subculture and subculture of Chinese civilization. In fact, they are now relying on their advanced systems, technology, and strong economic output, and have begun to strive for the dominance of Chinese culture, believing that Chinese mainland has reached the point where it needs to reflect and improve because of political corruption, military failure, and economic inprogress. Their culture is outdated and needs to be improved and renewed, and it is not worthy to guide the entire Chinese ethnic group to continue to move forward. In short, a central meaning is that our Great Song and Miao descendants are the orthodoxy of Chinese civilization and represent the development direction of the entire ethnic group, and this culture is full of self-innovation mechanisms, which can absorb the advantages of foreign cultures, so as to be inclusive and inclusive.

In order to support this theory, they even invented the theory that "there is no China after Yashan", and tried every means to add points to themselves, soften China's public opinion, and compete for the dominance and interpretation of the future development direction of Chinese culture. And this undoubtedly means great benefits!

Well, let's get down to business. In short, it is not easy for immigrants to integrate into the current social life on the East Coast, especially in the cities, they will only feel more lonely, and it will be difficult for a generation to integrate (in the process Chinese will be much better). It may be better in rural areas, especially in newly opened areas, where friendship can be greatly enhanced by digging rivers, building roads, building embankments, and cutting down trees together, and integration is generally the fastest in this process, and this seems to be one of the main reasons why the East Bank government likes to arrange immigrants to the frontier areas, just like the arrangement in the struggle township.

The first thing Wang Dazhuang did when he rushed to Fenfen Township today was to convene a meeting of all the township cadres, because it was the first time he had come to this place to inspect the place, and he only knew the names of the township cadres from documents, and he did not know anything about their abilities, temperaments, and other characteristics, so it was very necessary to convene a meeting.

In fact, after so many years of development, the officialdom has also had certain regulations and procedures. Whenever a leader takes office for the first time, then it is always necessary to arrange a meeting where most of the cadres gather, just like a handover ceremony of a project, at which everyone speaks freely and reports the general situation to the superiors.

Wang Dazhuang held a meeting today in the township government compound (which is actually a half-person-high fence around a mud field). This will everyone move some tables, chairs and small benches, Wang Dazhuang sat high on the chairman, looked around, the position was basically vacant, and he looked a little lonely - this struggle township is so many more than a thousand pioneers, but even the township government leadership team is not matched, how can this work be carried out?

On the contrary, there are already a lot of people sitting in the meeting opposite, about dozens of them, basically all of them are clerks of the township government, and the largest one of them is the deputy township head who was born in the Corps Fort Cadet. In addition, representatives of some nearby villages were also summoned, and they talked and laughed as if they were watching a very boring opera performance, so that they were so bored that they had to chat below.

Of course, not everyone is so casual. A few demobilized cadres who had retired from the army were sitting there in a precarious position, and although they had now taken off their uniforms, the norms of words and deeds that had been cultivated in the army had penetrated deep into their bones, so they suddenly distinguished themselves from the noisy scenes around them.

However, if you think that these people really support Wang Dazhuang's work, you are wrong. In fact, they still look down on this young and overly young township chief, who is still a meteorologist. And this person is still the leader of the six towns of Enterprising, Struggle, Prosperity (near the later town of Rastoscus), Victory (near the later town of Ocampo), Liberation (near the later Margarita Belém), and Hexi, which is simply crazy with jealousy. Although this situation will definitely not last long, in the future, these townships will have their own township chiefs one after another, but he Wang Dazhuang will definitely continue to rise at that time, and he will go as a department-level cadre, why is this? You know, he's just a young man with a background in meteorology! If we continue to develop, will it be necessary to transfer to the New World Friendship and Mutual Aid Bank to lead foreign loans and investment?

After scanning the scene, Wang Dazhuang waved his hand, suppressed the noisy voice a little, and then opened his mouth to talk about the next stage of local work arrangements. He didn't seem to be provoked, and his mouth was full of official articles, such as reclamation and settlement is a very important job, the only way to fight for living space for future generations, and the best way for the new generation of citizens to practice their own life values, etc.

After talking about such "nonsense" for about ten minutes, Wang Dazhuang glanced at the cadres who had become a little noisy below, and at the same time, there were some villagers who came to watch outside the fence, he was not affected at all, and commented on the work of the previous struggle township, focusing on their gains and losses in the construction of flood control embankments, the excavation of irrigation canals, and the clearing of forest shrubs. He did not criticize anyone, nor did he intend to praise anyone, only that the Ministry of Finance will sell a new water lottery nationwide next year, and a lot of funds will be allocated for the construction of their reservoirs, canals, dams and other infrastructure.

At this time, he raised his voice a little, and his face slowly became serious, which attracted the attention of some people. Wang Dazhuang said that he will not endlessly allow some people to work inefficiently and perfunctory work attitude, he is a cadre jointly authorized by the State Development Administration and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to lead the work here, so far, the construction progress of the township is generally bearable, but some people's work needs to be improved. He will try to give them some patience, and if there is still no significant improvement in the first half of next year, he will directly adjust the positions of these people.

No one has an excuse, Wang said, adding that even an Indian attack is not an excuse, and that the completion of all projects must be within the time frame allowed by the plan without delay. Of course, he also talked about the fact that the Indian raids and the Spaniards sabotaged were objective facts, for which he would apply to his superiors for some food, supplies and money, and then form a semi-professional garrison throughout the region to crusade against the Indians, but he still hoped that the frontier work would be delayed.

Wang Dazhuang's words made the participants a little shocked, the sound of chatter in the venue was gone, and everyone listened carefully to his words, thinking about how to implement them next. Everyone can sit here with five or six people, all of whom have experienced a lot of competition, and the officials on the east coast are one, and they also have the opportunity to be promoted to the top officials of the Taiwan Cabinet, so they don't want to put obstacles in their lives at the beginning, except for those who are older, and the noise before was mostly because of them.

"The agricultural conditions west of the Great River are excellent, and the soil and climate are excellent. At this point, Tianzun did not treat us badly. What we need to do now is to work hard and put all our passion into the construction of our beautiful new home. The people of the Hejian region are commendable, they have worked hard for decades to build, tamed the ferocious floods, built huge agricultural irrigation facilities, and turned more than 100,000 square kilometers of land into a famous land of fish and rice. Can we be indifferent to this? In the end, Wang Dazhuang's voice has been raised to a level that can be called deafening, and at the same time, the weight of these words is also more than a thousand catties: "No one is born shorter than others!" The water conservancy project in the Hejian area was built through 50 years of investment of 15 million yuan (which is still continuing), and the whole people are not afraid of hardships and hardships. They can do it, we can do it, and we must do it! If it doesn't work, change people! That's all I have to say, adjournment! ”
