Chapter 162: Something Goes Wrong with Aesthetics
Chapter 162: Something Goes Wrong with Aesthetics
Datang's current welfare is really good, although there are still great deficiencies compared with later generations, but Li Zhen believes that as long as the Age of Exploration opens, countless real money and silver will pour into Datang, turning Datang into the future Sweden (the country with the best welfare in later generations).
And unlike later generations, foreigners with green cards can enjoy all the benefits of Datang, even if they are officials, as long as you have the ability, you can do it, and no one will discriminate against you in the slightest (this is different from some countries, such as Australia, green card holders do not have the right to vote, to be elected, to join the army, cannot be a jury, and cannot engage in special work).
Therefore, the attraction of Datang green card to foreigners is very terrifying, especially those foreign businessmen who live in Datang all the year round, and countless foreigners come to the household registration department under the household registration department of the Ministry of Household Affairs every day to request to join Datang. It's just that Datang's own welfare policies have not been completely implemented to everyone, so why should we give our own benefits to you foreigners?
Therefore, unless you are a foreigner with special abilities, such as being very good at making money (investment immigration), or having very advanced technology (technical immigration), or you have great contributions to Datang (special contribution immigration), or you are married or married to a Datang person (immigration), only if you meet one of these four things, Datang will open the door to you and welcome you with open arms.
As for those who don't have the ability - I'm sorry, where did you come from, go back, Datang doesn't need waste.
Therefore, until now, the number of foreigners with Datang household registration is still very rare, only a few thousand, most of them are businessmen, investment immigrants, of course, there are also a lot of skilled immigrants, as for relatives immigration, this is the least - this makes Li Zhen also very strange, because many immigrants in later generations are relatives immigrants, on the contrary, investment immigrants are the least, but now and the future is completely opposite, it is really strange.
Later, after Li Zhen investigated, she couldn't help but find that the reason for this situation was purely aesthetic problems.
You must know that the ancients had aesthetics, and in different periods, the aesthetic views were different, just like in the Tang Dynasty, because the people were rich and the treasury was full, the people actually regarded fat as beauty, Yang Yuhuan was a little fat girl, and she could spoil the six palaces alone, as well as the period of King Chu Ling, who liked beauties with thin waists, so the palace maids in the palace starved to death in order to lose weight - this is the legendary King of Chu with a thin waist, and the palace maids starved to death...... This was naturally the case for most of the other periods and dynasties.
But no matter which dynasty, except for the 21st century, there has never been a Chinese who has ever married a foreigner, and the Tang Dynasty will not be the same.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty had just opened the door, although there were many foreign merchants, but the time was only more than ten years, the people had not yet accepted them psychologically, and the aesthetics had not changed.
What's more, in these years, the Tang Dynasty has won a hundred battles, and every battle will destroy the country, and there is almost no enemy, which has reversed the low status of the Chinese people since the Wuhu Rebellion in one fell swoop, and the people's national self-confidence has been unprecedentedly high.
To put it too much - in foreign countries, the people of the Tang Dynasty walk with their nostrils to see the road, and when they see people who are superior, how can they look at foreigners?
Unless there is a physical defect and it is really impossible to marry a daughter-in-law or to marry, no one will marry a foreigner.
However, this trend has been slowly reversed by Li Zhen, because in these years, he has transported many foreign beauties to the Tang Dynasty, especially after Nanyang was conquered by the Tang Dynasty, those Nanyang women only have two choices, one is to marry a Tang man, and the other is to send them to the Liyu Division to become a slave. Between these two items, as long as those women are not fools, they will naturally choose the first one - as long as the Datang men can accept Nanyang women, it will not be far from accepting Western Hu women.
What's more, Li Zhen has now set an example (the Li royal family itself is a multiracial mixed-race, not to mention that Li Shimin has arranged so many foreign queens for Li Zhen), and under the effect of the upper and lower levels, the Tang people will soon be able to accept the Hu people.
To be honest, Li Zhen really hopes that the Tang people will marry more foreigners, because this can improve the race of the Tang Dynasty and optimize the genes for the future
"Your Highness, Your Highness? ......" Xiaofuzi gently woke Li Zhen up: "Lord Wang is asking you a question." ”
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm thinking about things, and I ask you not to be surprised. Li Zhen suddenly woke up and said shyly: "What did Uncle Wang say just now?" ”
Li Zhen introduced the crown prince and actually called an old pawn an uncle, which made some people in the crowd frown - even if Wang Dewei brought so many ships to Datang, he couldn't afford to be Li Zhen's uncle, right? You must know that Li Zhen's move is equivalent to putting Wang Dewei and Li Shimin in the same generation.
He Wang Dewei is a shipwright, what qualifications do he have for this treatment?
Isn't he afraid of losing his life?
But Li Zhen didn't think so.
The credit of Wang Dewei and others is too great, these people don't know how much significance these thousand ships have to Li Zhen - it can be said unceremoniously that these thousand ships can at least push Li Zhen's era of exploration forward by five years, that is to say, Datang is five years ahead of dominating the world.
Some people may say, it's only five years, what can it be counted?
But don't forget, how many five years are there in life?
In the future Celestial Empire, it only took a little more than two and a half years to develop mushroom bombs.
Besides, this is the Age of Discovery.
Five years is enough time for Li Zhen to do a lot of things.
Maybe you can make it to Australia.
So Li Zhen's uncle, Wang Dewei and others can definitely afford it.
"The title of uncle, subordinates dare not take it." Wang Dewei also politely refused: "The minister just built so many ships according to His Highness's orders, how can he be worthy of such an honorific title?" If His Royal Highness looks up to Dulwich, and doesn't call Dulwich an old king, his subordinates will be inscribed. ”
"Poof!" Li Zhen squirted out a mouthful of water: "Old ...... Lao Wang? ”
Why don't you go next door?
Of course, Wang Dewei didn't understand this stalk: "Yes, does Your Highness have a problem?" ”
"It's fine." Li Zhen is no longer entangled in this issue: "What did you want to say just now?" ”
"That's right, when the subordinates were trying the Emperor in March this year, they rescued a broken ship in the sea, and there were still a few people on it who were dying."
"What?" Li Zhen was shocked......
Sorry for the delay in chapter 2.
