In the past, Russia divided the belief in Orthodox Christianity into Russians, and those who believed in Islam were called Tatars, and now the Chinese also call those who believe in Orthodox Christianity Russians, and those who believe in Islam are called Hui, but in fact, their language is complex and not a nation at all. Now they are all controlled by the Chinese with high-intensity rural management.

Bismarck felt that this was like a kind of mutated serfdom, and he was convinced of this, because he found that the village would organize the young people in the village to work, and not pay them wages, and organize them to repair the canals, build the walls and other public works, and even build a house, everyone worked together, which they called "help".

Serfdom was less sexually ill in that this kind of collective labor was not compulsory, and if the laborers went to work in the city, they would not be called back for service, which was not a legal obligation, but a customary obligation.

Although the same model is practiced among all ethnic groups, Bismarck found a difference: the fields around Chinese villages were generally better managed, not only in better condition for crops, but also in better condition for public facilities such as canals. In the Russian-populated areas, the public facilities were in worse condition, and the canals were overgrown with grass. Some other peoples are in worse condition, and some even have barren fields.

Bismarck finally saw some dangerous elements, and he believed that with the retirement of time, this would lead to a serious gap between the rich and the poor, and finally national contradictions.

China also has officials in charge of the canals, but they are only in charge of the main canals, and the official name is Quzheng, and these canals are not responsible for the irrigation canals that enter the farmland between the villages, and they are only responsible for the maintenance of the main canals and the normal opening and closing of the sluices.

As the Muslim nation and even the Russians are inferior in the management of their own village communities, their level of wealth will surely become worse and worse, and national contradictions will erupt. Moreover, the dominant ethnic groups will discriminate against and exclude the inferior ethnic groups. Bismarck found that the government's only preventive measure was to prohibit the sale and purchase of land, otherwise land annexation would have begun long ago.

Although the land was not annexed, Bismarck saw the phenomenon of population annexation, and he found that Chinese immigrants with better economic conditions began to absorb women from other ethnic groups in the surrounding area. Chinese seem to have a weak sense of race, and they don't mind intermarrying with other races. This is different from the situation in Europe, Bismarck knew that in Poland, the Germans in the west looked down on the Poles and did not want to intermarry with the Poles, while the Poles in the east looked down on the Ukrainians and did not want to intermarry with the Ukrainians, and at the same time all the nationalities looked down on the Jews, and no one intermarried with the Jews. Except in exceptional circumstances, the dominant ethnic group will never marry a woman from the inferior ethnic group, and in special cases it is a widowed older middle-aged male or a disabled person.

The Chinese here are different, even healthy, well-off young men, they are marrying women of other nationalities, but the difference is that they often marry a second wife.

They practiced depraved polygamy!

Due to the difficulty of language communication, Bismarck's vision was often superficial. In fact, the racist concept of Chinese is still very strong, not to mention the local alien race, there is discrimination against the entire European, calling the white race a ghost.

However, it is indeed more tolerant of interracial marriages, mainly the cases of men marrying women, and if anyone marries their daughter to a foreigner, they will be ridiculed. The situation of marrying a foreign woman as a wife is not a common phenomenon, the children of rich families still mainly marry their own women, and marry foreign women as concubines mainly because it is currently a homesteader economy, and the conditions of the families are actually similar, and they are not willing to marry their own women to others as concubines. However, under the influence of the decadent ideology of patriarchy, every family must have a boy, and some wives cannot have children, or they will be daughters all their lives. At this time, marrying a foreign concubine is to pass on the incense, and it will be forgiven by everyone in the village, and even the wife must support it.

As for those mixed-race children after marriage, they will not be discriminated against, because everyone values male blood, and as long as his father is Chinese, they are naturally considered Chinese. If his father is of a different race, he will naturally not be regarded as an alien. It's just the difference in appearance that makes them out of the familiar village, and they are still discriminated against. However, this kind of discrimination is still milder than European racial discrimination, and it is more of a psychological exclusion than an attack on action. Verbal insults are also mostly comments behind closed doors, rather than public ridicule. Even this kind of behind-the-scenes argument is not accepted in the morality of the reading class.

Speaking of reading, Bismarck also saw a gap in the educational situation. He found that in a village, or several villages, there would be a school, a very simple school, a teacher, with a group of children, as few as a few people, and as many as dozens of people.

The Chinese call them public schools, and the funds for these public schools are not allocated by the government, but they have reserved some land for these public schools in the early days of immigration, generally the best land, these lands are scattered in various villages, called school fields, and are managed by the chief of each village, and the chief of care arranges people to farm, and part of the output is used to maintain the operation of the public school, including paying teachers' salaries and repairing houses, and the people who plant these school fields are not unpaid labor, but rent to those families who have additional labor capacity, They get most of the harvest and only part of it is sold out, which is called ground rent.

The system is very rudimentary, and there are no fixed teaching materials, so basically only students can be taught to read and write, and a small number of teachers can also teach arithmetic such as abacus. Bismarck had seen some slogans (couplets, plaques) in the school, and he had asked others what they meant, saying that education meant that there was no class (education without class).

The Chinese emperor wanted all Chinese to at least be able to read and write, but it was not compulsory, and the school was placed here for the children of all families to read for free. Bismarck found that there were indeed families that did not let their children go to school, often from the lower strata, coveting their children's meager labor. However, most families will at least let their children read and write, because they often hear people say that they can't do it in vain, as if they don't go to school and they will suffer. Bismarck didn't know, in fact, most of this was just lip service, and it was impossible for him to know what kind of plot many old peasants had in their hearts to hope for Jackie Chan.

Bismarck was meticulous, he kept a detailed record of enrolment rates, and found that half of the lowest were above 80 percent, and most of them were almost everyone.

This ratio varies greatly between villages and ethnic groups, with the lowest being the Tatars, who prefer to go to the homes of their religious leaders for religious education rather than study in these Chinese schools.

There are also regular schools, usually in county seats, and in a small number of prosperous commercial market towns. These formal schools are no different from those in Europe, perhaps in terms of educational content, but they all share the same philosophy, and they all teach mathematics, geometry, physics, geography, astronomy, and so on, as well as naturalism, which is a mixture of a lot of other modern knowledge.

In larger cities, there are more advanced schools, such as teacher training schools and industrial and commercial colleges for accountants, mechanics, architects, etc. I heard that a university was also opened on the Black Sea.

Many schools are not run by the government, but by some wealthy businessmen, and it is often some officials who call on wealthy businessmen to raise funds, Bismarck does not understand the difference between this method and the government directly establishing schools.

A larger proportion of Chinese students are in formal schools, and after they have read and write in the villages, they enter these schools, and then most of them go to the official exams. Therefore, some children who do not do well in rural schools will be refused by their families to send them to the county seat, even if the county school is free, but they will always have to pay their living expenses, and they will lose a labor force.

Compared with the Chinese, the proportion of other ethnic groups sending their children to school is lower, the Russians are much lower, and the Tatar ethnic group is even lower. Of the ten or so children in the school, there are only two or three Russians, and sometimes there is not even one Tatar. Although it may also have something to do with the teaching of the Chinese dialect, this educational gap will exacerbate the imbalance between the races within a decade.

Bismarck concluded that within a generation, problems would arise in China's frontiers because of various imbalances.

After nearly a hundred years in the countryside, the Gypsies are finally leaving China, the two sides broke up in the border city of Samara, the management of the Chinese in the city is relatively lax, he heard that the implementation here is an alternative armor protection law, not each family is issued a house number, but ten cards are issued, managed by the card leader, and the family situation of the ten families is also recorded, but the city's sense of confidentiality is stronger, this information is not hung outside the door, but stored at the card chief, the card chief is not a daily patrol, but after a criminal case occurs, will strengthen inspections.

The size of Samara city is not large, it was not a big city in the Russian era, and it is not a big city now, obviously the Chinese immigrants, mainly developing the countryside, developing land resources.

A number of industrial and commercial industries were also established, locomotive depots, shipyards, banks, various shops, etc., for the service of the railway. Bismarck had not seen the situation when the Russians were administering here, but presumably no better than the Chinese. The city feels very complicated, there are Chinese, Russians, Tatars, and the Chinese do not even have an absolute advantage, about half.

But the Chinese have basically achieved an absolute advantage in business, which can be judged from the fact that almost all the shop signs in the city are in Chinese.

Bismarck wanted to stay in Samara for a few days to study in detail the lives of the Chinese burghers and how the Chinese manage the city.

However, he had to rush back to Moscow as soon as possible, because of the great events in Russia, and the Tsar issued a policy demanding that the rural communities return the lands they had seized from the nobles.

Bismarck felt that this could provoke civil unrest in Russia!
