It's almost over, and the Spring Festival is almost over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the end of December 1909, Empress Xiao Yuer and Empress Anna gave birth to a prince respectively.

Zhang Wei was very happy, the prince born to the queen was the fourth prince, and named him Zhang Haorui, nicknamed Rarity; Anna's son was born to the fifth prince, named Zhang Haozhi, and did not give a nickname, but at Anna's request, he gave a Jewish name, Moses, hoping that he, like Moses, would lead the Jews back to their homeland and become the great king of the Jewish nation.

However, Zhang Wei has been busy with the war, and has not yet been canonized, Xiao Yuer can understand, Zhang Wei's work is very busy, and it is not appropriate to announce too grandly during the war, but Anna can't bear it, after the confinement, she consulted the queen many times, and looked for Zhang Wei twice.

For Anna, if her son is crowned a prince or duke in the future, and has a fief, then the Jews will also end their wandering life, and she is very excited about this, but Zhang Wei has not been canonized for a long time, which makes her very worried.

After learning that Anna had given birth to a prince, the Jews living in the ghetto held a grand celebration, and the Governor's Office of the D.C. even ordered the whole people to name the new prince, preliminarily selected 20 names, and then voted on, and in the end, Moses won by the largest number of votes.

Now there are nearly 8 million Jews in the Jewish quarter, all of whom have migrated from all over the world, and there is no persecution here, and with the police and army of their own people, there is no need to live in fear all day long.

In the SAR they can live according to their way of life, they have built numerous nursing homes, hospitals, schools, etc., and no one interferes anymore; They built numerous churches where they could pray according to their faith.

With the efforts of Anna and James, Jews can gradually get out of Sumbawa Island and Lombok Island, as long as they pay 500 Xia Yuan, they can obtain a temporary green card of the Xia Empire, which is valid for 1 year, and Jews with green cards can move freely in the provinces directly under the Xia Empire, but Jews are prohibited from purchasing fixed assets and engaging in financial activities in the areas controlled by the Xia Empire outside the Special Administrative Region, but they can lease land and factories, etc., and can set up shops, etc., with these policy relaxations, the Jews are like fish in water, Taking advantage of the Xia Empire's abundant supplies, convenient sea transportation conditions, and their previous sales channels, they gradually expanded their trade to all parts of the world.

The islands of Sumbawa and Lombok became more and more prosperous under the management of the Jews, who built smooth and wide roads, railways to the port, opened up many fertile fields on the island, and built a large number of houses; They built numerous power plants and purchased coal from the Xia Empire as fuel; set up a huge steel mill to purchase refractory bricks, pig iron, coke and other materials from the Xia Empire; They set up several large shipyards and huge shipping companies to facilitate their sales of goods all over the world; The numerous factories and workshops increased the employment of the Jews and made them richer and richer.

In recent years, the world has been in turmoil, so that the Jews have more trade opportunities, salt, grain, all kinds of canned food, cloth, pots and pans and other daily necessities, sickles, axes and other hardware tools produced by the Xia Empire shipped out of the port, helping the Xia Empire to increase sales, increase taxes, but also bring huge profits to the Jews.

Originally, they also wanted to deal with the arms of the Xia Empire, but they were rejected by the General Staff.

Although they were not allowed to establish banks in the Xia Empire, they could establish banks and other financial institutions outside the control of the Xia Empire, and operate precious metals such as gold and silver and Xia Yuan and currency exchange business in various countries.

This is also the credit of James, the policy he specifically applied to Zhang Wei; As long as Jews with green cards indicate that the funds come from the Xia Empire when registering banks and enterprises abroad, and file with the Xia Empire's State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the State Administration of Taxation, and pay income tax to the Xia Empire every year, their enterprises will be protected by the Xia Empire, which is a win-win situation and is welcomed by all Jewish businessmen.

James's influence among the Jews is increasing, not only because he is the canonized earl of the Xia Empire and has strong economic power, but because he has handled many practical things for the Jews, and he actively communicates with the Xia Empire government, which makes the Xia Empire strengthen its support for the Jews and create more opportunities for the Jews; The Jewish District Council under his leadership won numerous preferential policies for all Jews, so that the treatment of each Jew was as good as that of the citizens of the Xia Empire, so that Jewish children could enjoy free education, and Jews could receive half-price medical care.

Only the Bank of Asia, which he runs, could open banks in the area controlled by the Xia Empire, which became the envy of many Jews, and many Jewish families, including the Rothschilds, applied to take a stake in the Bank of Asia, all of which he refused.

The Governor of the Special Administrative Region, Felier, felt the pressure of James, and if he did not show certain political achievements, the next Governor would probably be James's; Now that the imperial concubine Anna has given birth to a prince, if she is canonized by the Xia Empire, it will greatly strengthen the status of the Rothschilds in the eyes of the Jews, which gives Felier and others hope.

The name of the prince was planned by Felier and others, and they originally planned to add Rothschild to the prince's name, but in the end Zhang Wei rejected it, and only the name Moses was retained, which made Felier and others very satisfied.

After the outbreak of the war with Britain and France in the Xia Empire, the Jews were very worried, and later the Xia Empire won easily, which made the Jews overjoyed, and the territory occupied by the Xia Empire was getting closer and closer to their hometown, and they were busy taking the opportunity of giving birth to the prince to donate 100 million Xia Yuan military expenses to the Xia Empire, hoping that Zhang Wei could canonize the five princes with a high starting point.

Before the Spring Festival, it was reported that the Xia Empire had marched into the Arabian Peninsula, which made the Jews fanatical, return to their homeland, and the hope of establishing a state was just around the corner.

At this time, Felier and the others couldn't sit still, so they hurriedly sent family members with generous gifts to take the opportunity of giving the prince New Year's gifts to get close to Anna, inquire about her, and do her work to win the opportunity for the Jews to return to their homeland as soon as possible.

Later, I learned that Jerusalem was outside the occupied area of the Xia Empire, which cooled the enthusiasm of Felier and others, but the fanatical soldiers could not calm down, and with the secret support of the Rothschild family, many grassroots officers applied for the expansion of the army and applied to participate in the holy war in the Arabian Peninsula, hoping to recapture Jerusalem by their strength.

A number of young government officials also wrote applications to the Governor's Palace, hoping to establish a state in the Arabian Peninsula or in Africa, and then move to Jerusalem in the future.

Numerous applications were even supported by many members of Parliament, and James made a special report in Parliament on this.

The Jerusalem area was under the control of the Ottoman Empire, and the forces of Britain, France, Germany and other countries were entrenched in the periphery, and now it is a holy war to retake the holy city, with the existing Jewish army how to defend it?

What is the difference between establishing a state outside of Jerusalem and living in a ghetto? There is no protection of the Xia Empire there, and there is no such convenient business environment and perfect infrastructure here, and more importantly, it needs to be relocated once at that time, are you still willing to build it again? You know, we can't take away the roads, railways, factories and houses we build, and they are all the hard-earned money of the Jews.

Now the holy city is not under the control of the Xia Empire, that is, it has been occupied by the Xia Empire, and the Xia Empire has not yet begun to issue a feudal state to the prince, and it is impossible to establish a feudal state for the Jews alone, that is, to establish a separate state, without the relationship between the prince and the prince, the Xia Empire will not protect the safety of the newly built Jewish state.

Now that the five princes have just been born, and they don't even have titles, how to establish a feudal country? Even the crown prince and the second prince and the third prince don't have fiefdoms, so how can it be the turn of the fifth prince? You must know that the five princes are not only us Jews, but also the sons of His Majesty the Emperor of the Xia Empire, and I still hope that everyone will remain patient, do a good job of the essential work, and prepare for the future establishment of the state.

To this end, James promised that he would communicate with the Xia Empire government in the fastest possible time and let the royal family canonize the five princes as soon as possible to stabilize the mood of the members of the Special Administrative Region.

James's speech quickly calmed the restless hearts of the Jews, and even some parliamentarians felt ashamed, their previous ideas were too naïve, and their consideration of the problem was too simple, and if it were not for James's speech that woke them up, they would still be confused.

The Jewish face and the people of faith arranged by Zhang Wei have already occupied a dominant position in the SAR government, parliament, courts, army, police, education, commerce and trade, finance, medical care, and many other departments and industries.

Zhang Wei is clear about Felier and others' jealousy of James and many small actions.

After the Spring Festival, James gave Zhang Wei a report on the affairs of the ghetto, and Zhang Wei praised James's achievements in the ghetto, and won the support of most Jews, which was really unexpected.

Zhang Wei also promised that he would definitely help the Jews establish a state, but it was difficult to say the time, and he would also give the five princes a reasonable title, so that he would go back in advance to tell the Jews that the empire would not forget them, which was tantamount to pulling votes for James in disguise and helping him establish his prestige among the Jews.

After James retired, he immediately sent a telegram informing the parliament that the royal family of the Xia Empire would canonize the five princes in the shortest possible time, and the Xia Empire had not forgotten the Jews, so please rest assured.

Sure enough, on the 15th day of the first month, on the day of the Lantern Festival, Zhang Wei announced that the fourth prince and the fifth prince were both crowned as the Duke of Anguo, which was the highest title that could be canonized according to Zhang Wei's title plan.

Soon the Imperial Propaganda Department sent a telegram, and the whole country knew about the canonization of the prince.

According to the title law of the royal family of the Xia Empire, as long as they obtained the title of duke, they would have a fief, which reassured all Jews.

Although Felier and the others felt that they were one level lower than the Duke of Zhenguo, even the four princes born to the empress were all dukes of Anguo, and they had no reason to object, and the Rothschild family was still very satisfied with this.

Princess Anna's hanging heart also let go. (To be continued.) )
