After the speech of Queen Wilhelmina, the celebration was officially announced.

Not many people knew Dutch about Queen Wilhelmina, so her speech was short, because no one cared at all.

But this was only the end of the official reading ceremony, and the folk celebration began.

Folk artists from all over the world, dragon dances, and lion dances kicked off the most superb part of the celebration in various parts of South China.

For a long time, the noon dinner was a grand gathering that the whole world could no longer match.

The big businessmen of Nanhua have carefully arranged this free lunch at noon today as early as a month ago.

From the city to the country, from the factory to the outpost. Every village, every factory, every street, counted the number of people in advance, and prepared the meal according to the number of people.

Each person has a piece of beef, a piece of pork, a piece of chicken, and a serving of greens. From the Speaker of Parliament to the Prime Minister to the disabled beggars, everyone eats the same meal, without exception.

The current population of South China, except for the number of primitive tribes in the tropical rainforest of central Borneo, cannot be counted, and the population that has been identified can be accurate to single digits, which is also incomparable to any country.

When registering, everyone can get a registration card, which indicates all the characteristics of the holder, such as date of birth, ethnicity, place of origin, beliefs, gender, specialties, etc.

At present, this is still a simple ID card, but the registration card already details the notice that the holder has registered with the local household registration department. At that time, each person will take three photos, one will be posted on the registration card, one will be kept with the household registration department, and one will be stored in the local archives.

Each person will be given an original number, and this number will never be changed, and it will never be written off unless it dies.

No one has yet seen the control of this model, but they just think that this kind of statistics is easy to manage. But later, this hukou system directly abandoned the family, the family, and controlled the population to the individual, so that the whole world noticed the advanced nature of this model.

Each person has a number, with men starting with A and women starting with B. The letters are followed by an eight-digit number not by date of birth, but by enthronement order.

This number is unique and cannot be counterfeited by anyone. Even if you can make an exact registration card, but if you don't match it in the household registration department and the archives, it will be exposed.

Zhou Nan also has such a registration card, his overseas person's number starts with the letter H, followed by the same eight digits, and his registration number is seven zeros, one by one.

Nearly 9 million people in Nanhua and more than 1 million overseas people who came to Nanhua to celebrate were able to eat the same food at the same time at noon that day.

This kind of ritual is rendered on the radio, and it also gives everyone a sacred feeling of sharing weal and woe, and uniting as one.

Even if they are not Chinese, those ethnic minorities do not have any sense of rejection at this moment, and they feel that they have been accepted into this big family.

In the afternoon of the same day, Pan Zhicheng, as prime minister, accepted credentials from 34 ambassadors of Western countries. These countries recognized Nanhua at the first time, and even if they do not establish an embassy in the short term, they will set up a diplomatic mission here.

The next morning, he met with the diplomatic representatives of the 12 Eastern Bloc and agreed to the applications of the countries for the establishment of diplomatic institutions.

Nanhua also turned a large swamp area in Hexinzhou into an embassy area, because there are swamps everywhere, there are no residents in the first place, and it is sandwiched between two rivers, and there is not much room for agricultural development.

Although it may seem difficult for other countries to use this as an embassy district, it has been unanimously welcomed by all countries.

Because it is a swampy area, there are only a few roads to pass through, and the establishment of an embassy here will increase some of the construction costs, but it is isolated by natural terrain, and the swamp is full of poisonous snakes and crocodiles.

As long as a simple courtyard is built, each embassy can be turned into a lonely boat, and the security is greatly guaranteed.

Zhou Nan did not participate in a series of state events, except for a few celebrations, and he has been meeting with scholars from all walks of life, as well as entrepreneurs.

The construction of Nanhua University has not yet entered the substantive stage, and the reason why it has not entered the formal implementation stage after a few months is not because of financial problems, nor because of the difficulty of construction, but because the chief designer, Mr. Liang, was borrowed from the government department to carry out the urban planning and construction of Nanhua.

The chief designers were all pried away, and the design of the university, of course, stalled. However, Mr. Liang used it for two days a day, and took time to design every day, and he is almost finished.

After Mr. Lin returned from Switzerland with Zhou Nan, he also joined the design team. But to Zhou Nan's distress, she was not interested in university design either, but was fascinated by urban design.

The overall plan of the university is nearing completion, and Mr. Lim's participation now is just icing on the cake. And if she can complete the overall planning of a city, this sense of accomplishment is far from being comparable to designing a few houses.

Originally, Zhou Nan was still very worried that he would not be able to keep Mr. Liang and Mr. Lin and his wife, because after the end of the civil war, the patriotic passion of the people at this time was simply incomparable to that of later generations, and he might not be able to stop him if he wanted to.

However, this problem was directly solved by Cai Lao.

On the third day of the establishment of Nanhua, a series of government appointments were announced, and Mr. Liang accepted the position of deputy director of the Ministry of Housing and Reconstruction, and the reason why he was not the full minister was because he also took a fancy to the position of dean of the Department of Architecture of the University of South China.

At the meeting with Chinese scholars, Zhou Nan promised to inherit Chinese studies, but at the same time he would vigorously develop science and engineering disciplines. Two-thirds to three-quarters of the current $5 million annual education allocation will be in favor of science and engineering.

In addition, Zhou Nan also promised that in the future, more than half of the social donations received by Nanhua University will also be allocated to science and engineering disciplines to vigorously develop science and technology.

As for the Chinese disciplines, the reason why they can still occupy a small half of the funding is not because of the investment in educational resources, but because Zhou Nan promised some university scholars from the mainland that they would use this part of the funds to help domestic colleges and universities invest in education.

Because of this reason, Zhou Nan was able to retain some masters and make them willing to stay in Nanhua to teach.

Merchant state, merchant rule, except for the Netherlands, no other country in the world has a precedent.

However, it is precisely because the Netherlands, the current suzerainty of South China, relies on merchants to govern the country, so the development of South China also has a lot of experience that can be learned.

Is Nanhua poor? Very poor. Now Nanhua doesn't even have a decent city, and the infrastructure is almost non-existent. There is not a single inch of qualified roads in this country, and there is no electricity.

Even the country's parliament is just a compound donated by businessmen, and the prime minister's office is just a small two-story building.

But Nanhua is also very wealthy, and on a per capita level, Nanhua even has the highest wealth in the world.

The current South China is an integration of the resources of the whole of Southeast Asia, all of which flow to South China. In addition to Southeast Asia, there were also many wealthy businessmen from the interior who immigrated to South China due to the changes in the situation of the war, and also brought a large amount of money.

The businessmen who returned to Nanhua from Europe and the United States made money abroad to give back to Nanhua. In 47 years alone, these people alone brought back 500 million dollars in materials and funds from Europe and the United States, and built thousands of factories.

Now that South China has officially established the country, in addition to the strength of the Chinese themselves, European capital and technology have also begun to flow to South China in a steady stream.

In the case of hydropower investment, Switzerland was awarded a contract to build a large hydropower plant in Mount Laya, but the United States refused to do so, offering to help Nanhua build a large hydropower station on even more favorable terms.

In Malinau, North Kalimantan, there are better natural conditions for the construction of hydropower plants than in the Raya Mountains, but because there is almost no development in the local area, the electricity for the construction of hydropower stations cannot be sold.

Now that Nanhua is about to enter the stage of large-scale development, no amount of electricity is enough. So after Zhou Nan communicated with Pan Lao, he agreed to the Americans' conditions.

Although we know that the United States wants to use this method to obtain the dividends of South China's development and exert its influence, this matter is beneficial to South China after all.

As for environmental protection...... Before the economy develops, it is a fool's fork to talk about this.

You don't see that in order to develop in Britain, London has now become a smog city, which is much more serious than the capital in later generations.

One winter in '58, thousands of people died because of environmental pollution, did they talk about environmental protection?

If we are backward, we will be beaten, and the dividends of economic development are not only to become rich, but also to enhance the country's comprehensive competitive strength. In order to be one step ahead of others, everything is worth it.

Only when my economy develops and technology takes the lead. At this time, environmental protection will become a weapon to contain backward countries, and to set up some obstacles for those who catch up behind.

What's more, there are few people in Nanhua and many lands, which is almost a primitive environment. Now that the basic policy of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce has been determined, of course, we will not care about some negative impacts in the process of development.

You said that it affected the local ecological environment, the growth environment of local organisms, and the growth of fish in the river.

Zhou Nan will firmly tell him that everything is not as important as Nanhua's wealth and strength.

Merchants build the country, and merchants govern the country.

The policies formulated by using businessmen to manage businessmen and governing businessmen are more reasonable and free of loopholes than those formulated by laymen.

At the beginning of the establishment of a country, most people still have a very good mentality. In addition, South China is not resting on its laurels, and there is a neighboring country in the south that has a population nearly ten times larger.

Now Nanhua has bitten more than 10,000 square kilometers of land from them, and there is a big city with a population of 300,000, so we must beware of the counterattack of the other side.

Because of this great calamity, everyone now wholeheartedly wants Nanhua to become more prosperous and powerful, and the policies formulated are also very meticulous and positive.

But there are also many places in this that these people can't do anything about, such as agricultural policy.
