Chapter 36: Nation and Faith
Liu Jinshan's purchase of two million catties of cotton this time can be described as a big sum, the last time he returned to Jiangsu, contacted a few Hui merchants, borrowed some money from them, and bought these cotton through their channels, but now is not the time for cotton to mature, at most that's all.
After sending the telegram, Liu Jinshan transported the cotton from the port to the outside of Fuzhou, piled the goods outside the city and waited, but a few hours later, a platoon of security regiments arrived, fully armed and guarding the goods on the side of the road.
The next day, the fleet of tractors also arrived, the back of these tractors was full of paper, and the paper mill expanded to 100,000 tons due to its production capacity, and the production in three shifts was 300,000 tons, and the expansion was very fast, and this month has produced 10,000 tons of paper.
These papers are enough in exchange for the cotton purchased by Liu Jinshan, and after settling the settlement, Liu Jinshan has to pay for the goods again.
This time, Liu Jinshan brought nearly 500 students and teachers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as more than 30 Western doctors.
The arrival of Liu Jinshan's payment and the delivery of cotton not only reduced Xia Jun's financial pressure, but also provided raw materials for the textile mill.
The teachers and students took a tractor directly to Saigo.
Along the way, they were all armed protection, and the checkpoints set up by the local government were quickly released, and they didn't want to eat guns.
When they arrived in Xixiang, they were quickly absorbed into the school, and among these people was an international student named Zhang Cheng, who studied chemistry, which made Xia Jun very happy, there was a chemical expert here, and the chemical raw materials used in those factories could be produced by themselves if they could.
At the same time, there is also a Western doctor named Yang Xingye who also returned from studying abroad, and there is also an American doctor named Carol, these doctors were all recruited by Liu Jinshan in the hospital.
With these doctors, Xia Jun can train doctors on his own, and at the same time, he can also set up a field hospital.
At the same time, there are two engineers who have returned from studying abroad in this group of people, one is named Guo Kun and the other is Zhang Peiyuan, their arrival finally allows Xia Jun to let go of the construction, otherwise Xu Wenbo alone will not be able to cope with it at all.
Xia Jun has offered these talents a high salary, and the 100,000 silver dollars for running a school is still there, and the salary is not a problem for the time being. The School of Medicine of Konju University was established, and more than 500 students were admitted to secondary schools and universities.
These students came to Jianzhou University mainly because they were exempt from tuition fees and subsidies, and not all of these people were found by Liu Jinshan, many of them gathered at the port after receiving the letter and came with Liu Jinshan's cargo ship. For example, the two engineers were found by Xu Wenbo.
The students of the Liberation Society came in large numbers, and more than 80 of the more than 500 people were from the Liberation Society.
With the arrival of these students and teachers, the science and engineering departments of Jianzhou University began to gradually improve, and the Army Academy absorbed another 50 students, and the number of the first Army Academy reached 100, which is already the limit of the current teaching, and it is necessary to wait until next year to expand the enrollment, and then the outstanding teachers who can be selected from the first batch of students will be teaching assistants.
At the same time, Jianju University has also added the 'School of Law and Politics', and the School of Law and Political Science is also a very important link.
Xia Jun needs administrative and judicial personnel in the future, and they should be cultivated as soon as possible at this time, otherwise the territory will be expanded by then, but there will be no one to manage it.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Jun established the 'Jianzhou Technical School', which was divided into 'Transportation Department', 'Engineering Department', 'Electrical Engineering Department', 'Maintenance Department' and 'Production Department'.
And more than a dozen teachers who can speak Chinese well were transferred to set up the 'Chinese Popularization Office', but unfortunately Xia Jun did not have enough teachers, otherwise he would have been able to eradicate illiteracy in the army.
For example, the pronunciation of words such as 'have' and 'small' is consistent with Chinese, and there is a relatively fixed tonal translation with Chinese, for example, the northern Fujian dialect refers to an item beautiful, which means that the word 'Yashi' in ancient Chinese is not carefully pondered, and most of them think it means that it means beautiful, and when translated into Chinese according to the fixed tone, it becomes 'Yashi'.
There are some ancient Vietnamese ways of forming words, such as hens, and the words are hens.
This language is formed by the fusion of ancient Chinese and ancient Yue, and the northern Fujian region, as the ancient capital of Fujian, absorbs more Chinese, and it is easier to promote Mandarin in northern Fujian.
In addition, the pronunciation of the numbers 12345 in this dialect is the same as that of northern Fujian, which is likely to be spread by the northern Fujian people who went to the bank, and many people in Fujian went to the bank, which is not surprising.
Nationality is a combination of ideology and behavior form, the ancient Han nationality is based on clothing, headdress as the main ideology, and the language is more messy, unified language can strengthen the unity of behavior form, this unity is not to say to abandon dialects, but to know how to speak dialects at the same time, but also to know how to speak Mandarin.
In this era of increasingly intense conflict, people in any region must survive together, hence the emergence of national consciousness and form.
The history of the national consciousness in the West is not too long, they gradually formed a nation in the eighteenth century, and the national form of China was formed from the Han Dynasty, and it is only the form of the Han people's clothing, which is relatively unified in form, although the language is different, but the dress and customs are very similar in various regions, but the consciousness is relatively weak.
The end of the Qing Dynasty was a period of national ideological awakening, and the nationalism of the Guangfuhui mixed with the idea of blood was generally popular in contemporary times.
Around 1905, some people promoted this national ideology in the rented newspapers, which caused great controversy, and the supporters became agitated and shouted slogans to kill the Manchus. As a result, the opponents went so far as to say that the Manchu and Han bloodlines had been fused, and the Manchus were actually Han Chinese.
This kind of perception of dividing the nation by blood is actually very nonsense, the nation has always been divided by ideology and behavioral form, no matter what kind of blood you are, as long as you identify with a certain ethnic group, and achieve a certain degree of unity in the behavioral form, then what kind of nationality are you.
In Xia Jun's view, the Manchus were to be eliminated, and their ideology and behavior must be completely stifled. Although these Manchus have been mixed with the Han in blood, their ideology has not changed, and their behavior is even different from that of the Han people, and they will never be able to integrate into the Han people.
What needs to be done in the future is, on the one hand, to strengthen the unity of national consciousness and form, and on the other hand, to completely strangle the consciousness and form of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
It can be eliminated directly from **, or it can be eliminated with a soft policy, but Xia Jun prefers the former.
In an era when the distance between countries is shrinking and conflicts are intensifying, it is impossible to survive without nationalism.
Nationalism is huddle and represents faith. To put it bluntly, it is a group of groups with similar forms and ideologies that put forward national ideas, and then unite with national ideas to plunder and enslave other ethnic groups, or resist the aggression of other ethnic groups.
Why am I strong? Later generations of Chinese generally believed that they were united, and that the Chinese had the inferior roots of infighting.
Such a view is also incorrect, the Chinese will fight among themselves, that is because although the nation is formed, it has not formed a faith.
It is said that Ben promotes absolute nationalism, that is, fanatical nationalist ideas, so they have faith, so they are united.
Why did China's national ideology die in the process of formation? And Ben can succeed?
This is mainly because of the remnants of China's long-term feudalism, the feudal society is mainly based on slavery, although it was also a feudal society before, their feudal system is not as strong as China.
China's feudal system has been perfected to the point of stubbornness, once the grass people are united, once they awaken, can they continue to be enslaved?
Chiang Kai-shek was the first guy to cut off the national ideology, his 'revolution' belonged to the halfway monk, his ideology was still the traditional 'fight the world', once the ruler had no faith, it would evolve into a 'modern feudal rule' that sold dog meat on the head of a sheep, after Chiang Kai-shek......
After the collapse of XXISM, what I believed in was money, which made the whole nation get into the eyes of money, not to mention any unity, and the people's hearts were in a mess.
At present, the awakening of China's national consciousness is still in its infancy, and it is very immature, but it is also very radical.
When Xia Jun saw the students' passionate promotion of nationalism, he also mentioned the issue of blood, although he did not agree, but he agreed with their radicalism.
At this time, China has reached the critical point of life and death, and if the Han people do not hold together, there will be no chance to rise.
Thinking of later generations, his radicalism was gradually struck into disappointment and numbness, and he couldn't help but swear in his heart that he would not be able to disappoint these radical students in the future.
