Since the official founding of the People's Republic of China, the reform of the land has always been a major focus of the cabinet. Starting from the Tujia, Yuan, Ray, Zhuang and other young people in the south, to the end of Mongolia and Tibet, it is indeed sweeping away all the 'separatist forces' in all places, and for the first time in the history of 5,000 years of civilization, it has completely ruled the core area of Chinese civilization.

This event was a relatively long life, and when the local forces in Tibet were completely disintegrated, it had been more than 20 years since Chen Han was established. There are only a few more than 20 years in life, but this period of time is extremely short compared to the history of civilization of the entire Chinese nation and the history of civilization of the entire human race.

Chen Han has been established for 41 years, and the government has been promoting a keynote - Great China, Great China. Everyone is "their own people", regardless of whether they are Hanmin or Shaomin.

It's a pity that the effect of the latter is much, much inferior to the former. Especially those young people who believe in the Tianfang Sect are much more difficult to deal with than the Ray Tribe, Zhuang Tribe, and Fu Tribes in the south, but the government has also completely dealt with the eunuchs among them over the years, and the ghost head knife is bloody, so that all Tianfang believers know what the rules are, what can be done and what cannot be done.

Just like the sinicization of Buddhism in the Tang and Song dynasties, after thousands of years of sinicization, the reactionary fundamentalist purpose movement was completely extinguished by the Chen Han government, and the Tianfang religion in China's sphere of influence went to the road of sinicization of river crabs. Chen Ming still felt a sense of accomplishment when he thought of this.

And over the years, the lives of these young people have undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the past.

"Prosperity and stability", what the word means, the few people still understand. And after the days are better, it will be the turn of the cultural quality to begin to improve.

After the overall quality is improved, the words barbarism and ignorance can no longer fall on their heads.

In the past, the Chinese young people did a lot of headaches for the imperial court, and to a large extent, they were fearless because of ignorance. And now that they know more, the Chen Han government is not like the Great Celestial Empire in later generations, and they will naturally be more interested and obedient.

The most obvious thing is that the incidents of ethnic confrontation have disappeared for many years, and even the village fights have disappeared for a while. Although the various decrees of the imperial court are very troublesome for them now, compared to the previous life, the current life is indeed much better.

Of course, those who were already richer than them also had a better life.

Whether it is China itself or overseas, those who occupy the top position of wealth in Xinjiang, or all Han people. After all, the population base of the latter is very large, and the conditions for education - the starting point is higher than that of the young people, and the probability of becoming a talent and making a fortune is naturally greater.

For example, in Colombo, nine out of ten people are Chinese, and nine out of ten Chinese are Han. It is the commanding heights that completely occupy the wealth and economy of the entire society.

But this did not surprise Villere, who in France occupied the core of the wealth of the whole society, and the number of outsiders was very small, and even the Napoleonic compatriots from Corsica could not occupy a place in Paris, the center of French wealth. And if there is anything that surprises Villere the most about a city like Colombo, it is undoubtedly the harmonious atmosphere between the local Chinese and the natives, which makes Veller puzzled, how can this be possible?

Deep-Plecy Armand was one of the few French businessmen in Colombo who had been operating in Colombo for a decade before he came to Colombo with permanent residency in China.

Velair invited him to accompany him on the third day, and in the conversation after the dinner that night, Villeer asked the question that he couldn't understand. Armand seemed to be frozen, not expecting Villere's question to ask. He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your Excellency, the relationship between the Chinese and the natives in Ceylon is relatively friendly, and at least in law, the status of the two is almost equal. "Just talk about some 'necessary' measures in the court, but where the Chinese have, the local aborigines must also have them. Villere's doubts may have been due to the perpetual antagonism between the natives and the Caucasian in the European colonies, but not in Ceylon. Before the arrival of the Chinese, the rule of the Dutch and the British was a little too sharp, and then the arrival of the Chinese significantly relaxed the restrictions on the natives, which made the Chinese in Ceylonese society very good.

"The Chinese are rich not because they are the rulers of the country, but because they are diligent and hardworking. As far as the common class is concerned, there is not much difference in opportunities between the Chinese and the natives. ”

Armand thought for a moment and said seriously.

Villere, however, was surprised, "Are you saying that the Chinese government treats these natives equally?" That's impossible. I have enough evidence in my hands that in the South Seas, millions of indigenous people have disappeared in the last thirty or forty years. Yes, gone. That's what it literally means. Therefore, it is impossible for the Chinese to treat the indigenous people equally. ”

"Your Excellency, it seems that you are not aware of the situation in the South Seas." Armand said with a smile, disappointed in Villere. How could the emperor send someone who didn't know much about China to act as an envoy? He explained: "The natives of the South Seas were divided into different regions and races, ranging from some natives like Luzon and the East Indies who had Chinese blood on their hands, and some of whom were faithful to the Eastern Empire like Sulu. ”

"China is merciless to the natives who have Chinese blood on their hands, and it is their destined fate to be beheaded and killed." Armand still had a smile on his face, no matter how many natives died, it was just a boring number for him, and China was his life's dependence. "And like Sulu and those pro-China natives, China has also been very helpful. In the case of Sulu Province, where the Sulu people live, the annual per capita income of the locals has exceeded 1,000 Chinese dollars. ”

A thousand Chinese dollars can be worth thirty-five pounds, which is not low. Moreover, this figure is the average of the annual per capita income, which is the average of men, women, old and young, and if you don't count this, it is not uncommon for adult Sulu men to double this figure.

It's just that many wealthy Sulu people have become less Sulu.

Armand understood this very well, just as after Corsica became French territory, many Corsican nobles put French on their lips overnight, as if it were their mother tongue, wishing that they would become a pure Frenchman, and that no one in the world would know that they were Corsicans.

"They are a race with distinct grievances." Armand concluded, "And the indigenous people here haven't had much rights in the past, have they?" Although the Dutch did not completely control Ceylon, which of the leaders of the indigenous forces in Ceylon was not overpowered by the Dutch? They have long forgotten what it is like to be a host. And those nobles who used to enjoy a certain amount of power are now either Chinese or have disappeared cleanly. Only the middle and grass-roots Ceylonese natives remain, and now these Ceylonese natives are living a much better life than before, and it is too late to thank the Chinese, where will they be dissatisfied and hostile? ”

Villeer kind of understood, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, the thriving street market and the exotic buildings, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Ceylon's old upper class aristocracy either became Chinese or 'disappeared' without a trace, a move that directly eliminated the local indigenous leadership, while the life of the middle and lower classes gradually improved, and social control was relaxed a little, which would definitely win their support. Perhaps a hundred years from now, the indigenous people will again shout for rights and true fairness, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the Chinese are doing very well in Ceylon, and Villeer does not see the possibility of this policy falling in the short term. This was more solid than Austria's rule over Czechoslovakia.

"The city is really full of life, and its tomorrow will be even brighter."

Today's Colombo is not a small port in Villere's eyes, but compared with those first-class ports in Europe, it still has shortcomings, and it can only be regarded as a passing grade. However, Colombo's geographical advantages are very obvious, facing the huge India, as long as it continues to develop like the current one, it will be very powerful.

Armand shrugged his shoulders, agreeing with Villere's words. If he hadn't been optimistic about Colombo's geographical advantages, he wouldn't have moved here from Guangzhou.

In fact, China's control over foreign businessmen is still very strict, at least not weaker than in Chen Ming's previous life. Every foreign businessman who enters the country must go through the entry procedures and residence permit in the landing city, and then go to the local government to apply for a business certificate with the documents, etc., with which he can walk in China. But it still needs to be reported to the official every year. If the residence permit is overdue, and the foreign businessman does not apply for the extension, hehe, the light is a fine, and the heavy is to go to prison.

Nowadays, China has indeed opened up its interior, and foreign businessmen can pass through the Chinese mainland at will, but the management procedures have not changed at all.

Every foreign merchant has a time limit on his certificate, which is a cordon that no one dares to cross easily. Otherwise, if these foreigners commit crimes in the eastern coastal areas or in the first-tier towns of the provinces, it is still good, but they are afraid that they will fall into the hands of the small county magistrates in the interior, and every time they will make Europeans feel an unforgettable experience that will last a lifetime.

The gaze turned back to the city of Nanjing.

During these days, the city of Nanjing was too peaceful and stable, and even the opportunity for petty theft was extinct.

The arrival of envoys from various countries, as well as some vassal kings who had enough time and time to wander around Nanjing for a while, raised the prosperity of the entire city of Nanjing to a higher level.

There is no other reason than because of the members of these missions. Just like the North Korean mission came to China before, everyone worked part-time as a businessman. At present, the members of these vassal states are no different, and they either bring local products, even the small vassal states of the Americas bring large quantities of precious timber and precious metals.

The latter is not only in a state of war, many countries are in the midst of large-scale construction, this time back to Nanjing to participate in the ceremony, in terms of practicality, it is a great opportunity for countries to replenish supplies.

Countless merchants in Chen Han also knew this opportunity, and came to the vicinity of Nanjing early, when countless contracts, orders and loan agreements were signed every day.

And after the time entered the tenth month of the lunar calendar, there was a new situation, that is, many people from all over the country poured into the city of Nanjing.

This phenomenon exceeded the government's expectations, and it can be said that it has had a great impact on the security situation in Nanjing.

Zhou Tiancai, who is currently the secretary of the police department, is busy with his feet not touching the ground, and he can't wait to be able to do the trick.

This Shangshu is not too young, and after this session, it is likely that he will not even enter the Senior Administration Yuan, and go home to rest. Zhou Tiancai's brother-in-law Qiu Jiashan used to be the right attendant of the police department, and Zhou Tiancai also entered the police department after Qiu Jiashan stepped down from the post of the right attendant.

As the leader of the violent organ of the police department, Zhou Tiancai does not need to be able to solve criminal cases, he needs to play more leadership and organization, and these two points are Zhou Tiancai's advantages.

As early as when Chen Han moved the capital from Lushan to Nanjing, Zhou Tiancai teamed up with Liu Zhixie to prepare ships for the entire process of moving the capital. If Liu Zhixie hadn't died early a few years ago, there would definitely be a place for him in the cabinet, and Liu Zhixie would be much better than Zhou Tiancai.

Byron also came to Nanjing from Shanghai, and he did not want to be absent from the historic moment of the change of the old and the new emperor of China. A teahouse located on the bank of the Qinhuai River, very close to the world-famous glazed pagoda of the Great Bao'en Temple, standing on the teahouse, you can see the tourists and pilgrims in the Great Bao'en Temple on the other side of the Qinhuai River. Of course, the fame of the Qinhuai River is also an important reason why Byron came here to drink tea.

Today's Qinhuai River is southeast, northwest, yellow, white, black and red, and there are all kinds of beauties.

This is the main reason for attracting Byron, not the first-class Western-style villa on the banks of the Qinhuai River, more precisely the French-style villa.

As a lively place in Nanjing, the Confucius Temple is clear at a glance from the teahouse, and there are really many people here.

Chinese, foreigners, men and women, crowded the streets and alleys around here, even the tea house was crowded with people, Byron was not easy to grab a private room, the entire tea house up and down there were no seats at all, this private room cost him 50 Chinese yuan.

"Do you know what impresses me most about this country? That's the population, and everywhere you look, you can see a dense flow of people like schools of sardines. According to last year's Chinese government census, the country's native population has reached 400 million, and I don't think so, I think the actual population here will be 500 million. ”

"So, the country is incredibly strong. China's human resources are the country's greatest pillar of dominance over the planet. Imagine how many armies can be trained in a population of four or five billion? This is not the Aztec Empire and the Inca Empire, a country that has completed industrialization and established a strong reserve and military mobilization mechanism, which is enough to make the whole of Europe tremble. ”

No way, who let the whole of Europe add up to only 200 million people?

A clerk of the British embassy who accompanied Byron spread his hands and said.
