Chapter 526: The Beginning of Expansion
In this small yurt, what made Qiao Yu feel most stunned was that in a conspicuous position at the top, there was a photo of himself in military uniform, the photo was spotless, and there was a small copper incense burner underneath, like a shrine, which was not in harmony with the whole dirty environment.
Qiao Yu was disgusted by the act of hanging portraits everywhere, getting everything everywhere had no effect except that it would cause disgust, and his experience in his two lives had taught him that most people had little respect for these portraits, such as school portraits, which were often messed up.
Any emperor let others call himself long live, but not even one of them lived to be a hundred years old, these self-deceptive things are really unnecessary, but seeing someone here to confess himself, Qiao Yu suddenly had a very strange feeling.
Seeing Qiao Yu's surprised expression, Bagen suddenly opened his mouth to explain endlessly, and the translator on the side told Qiao Yu what he meant, it turned out that Bagen was a slave of the prince, and he had no pasture of his own at all, nor did he have his own cattle and sheep, and after the government implemented reforms, the original slave status was canceled.
He also has his own pasture, cattle and sheep, and his standard of living has become higher over the years, he has married and had children, and now that the government has implemented a housing project, they will soon be able to own their own houses.
In Bagen's view, all these changes are brought about by the government, and it is Qiao Yu, the leader, who is the Bodhisattva who came from the immortal heaven, and should be worshipped, and this situation is not unique, and a large number of herdsmen who have benefited from the reform have provided Qiao Yu's portrait photos in their homes.
Being worshiped as sacred by others is definitely a huge satisfaction for vanity, but Qiao Yu also feels a little weird, this set of personality worship will be eliminated by society sooner or later, the higher it is praised now, the harder it will fall in the future, but Bagen is obviously in sincerity, and Qiao Yu is not easy to say.
During the conversation, Qiao Yu also learned that Bagan's two sons and daughters will soon reach school age, and they will be able to have a fixed place to live in the last two years. Children are also enrolled in school.
They receive exactly the same education as in the mainland. It is only in the first three years of primary school that bilingual teaching will be adopted, in fact, the Mongolian language is only required to be able to speak, and then the Chinese language will be completely adopted, and the purpose is naturally very simple, that is, to promote integration, establish cultural identity, and finally completely realize the true equality of the people.
China is a super-sized country. Qiao Yu scoffs at the complexities that some people advocate for the protection of some ethnic minorities and respect for their cultural traditions, which is also to preserve China's cultural diversity.
Dividing a country into different plates is itself creating divisions and contradictions. Moreover, in the industrial age, it is mobile, the population will continue to flow, and it is not much practical to simply divide according to different ethnic groups, and as for the granting of privileges, it is contrary to the basic spirit of the constitution that everyone is equal.
As for the so-called diversity, it is nonsense, the national characteristics of many ethnic groups are forced out by the harsh environment, everyone wants to live a better life, the whole world and the country are constantly improving, and letting the minorities maintain their original way of living is not restricting their development. Academics who maintain this view don't really care about minorities.
Rather, they want to maintain a relatively backward and primitive way of living for appreciation. Then satisfy their morbid sense of superiority, and the same thing arises in the perception of the peasantry. Some people stubbornly hope that the peasants will maintain their traditions and simplicity, but this is not a sense of superiority, just like the literati in the past admired women with small feet.
Of course, there are also some people who are supported by foreign forces who will also preach this with bad intentions, but it is just to create opportunities for separatism!
In Qiao Yu's view, a unified country must have a unified language, a similar cultural mentality, and a common moral cognition, and it is an inevitable choice to comprehensively promote the Chinese language and use Chinese characters under the condition that more than ninety percent of the country are Han Chinese.
Of course, Qiao Yu's behavior has attracted a lot of opposition, calling it cultural autocracy, the regression of civilization, but this is all a debate in the academic circles, after really contacting these herdsmen, but found that they agree very much, Bagen is learning Chinese hard, only if he understands Chinese, he can better communicate with the traders, he can hope to enter the factory, he can read newspapers and books, learn the most advanced knowledge, and make his life better.
Scholars mislead the country, and it is useless to talk clearly!
Only those who reach out to these grassroots people can get the most authentic information, and the country is supported by them.
Including Jiang Baili, Yang Du and others, they are also deeply touched, there are no complicated things in the eyes of the people, the most direct thing is the quality of life, and other things are too ethereal.
After years of exercise, Qiao Yu's brush writing has been able to ascend to the elegant hall, in fact, it is his son Qiao Luan who really stimulates him to practice hard is his son Qiao Luan, Qiao Luan showed excellent talent in calligraphy and painting when he was very young, and when his father was laughed at by his son, his face was dull, and Qiao Yu also consulted many famous people.
Now the writing is also an iron painting silver hook, through the back of the paper, and wrote four words to Bagen: hard work and get rich!
Qiao Yu's purpose is very simple, that is, to replace the awkward-looking portrait with this character, but what he doesn't know is that everything he touches in this yurt has been respectfully put away by Bagen and treated as a treasure, which has become the most memorable thing he often talks about to other herdsmen!
"President, this circle has come down, the people's hearts are stable, with this guarantee, it is more important than how much military advantage it has over the Soviet Union, the government has a firm foothold here, and its authority is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and this land will always be ours!"
"Mr. Huizi, the more you come into contact with the people, the more ashamed you feel, people will provide you up, you must really come up with more policies to benefit the people, otherwise your face will always be hot, and your heart will be empty. I have decided to promote the housing project in pastoral areas to the whole country, and this year we will provide 2 million small and medium-sized houses to the people, and in addition, the renovation project in the old city should also be accelerated, and low-rent housing should also be provided for migrant workers. ”
Qiao Yu said this is also a feeling, the Jewish consortium's attack on the housing market has ended for many years, and the global economic situation has also improved greatly, but in order not to break the real estate industry, China still maintains relatively high house prices. Beijing, Shanghai and other places have not dropped the lowest 200 yuan per square meter. As the global economy recovers, prices are still climbing, and Jewish capital, which has not been completely withdrawn, is also trying to raise housing prices to make a profit.
This level of housing prices has exceeded the affordability of most people, and the inability of the housing market has also affected Qiao Yu's prestige a lot, but the profits of land finance are too rich. It's like opium smoke, and you can't put it down easily.
In particular, China is still in the early stage of industrialization, which requires a lot of investment, and the high level of the housing market has provided the government with sufficient construction funds, fattened a large number of real estate enterprises, and has the advantage of high housing prices. It is to force people to save a lot.
Huge savings have supported social construction from another aspect, and during the entire Second Five-Year Plan period, China has basically completed the construction of the Northeast Industrial Zone, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang have also developed rapidly, and most of the funds have come from this, no matter how good the excuse is, this is the deprivation and calculation of the common people, and it is a wrong path.
Qiao Yu wants to promote affordable housing projects across the country, which is to cool down the real estate from the other side. The real estate industry can certainly grow. But it should go to the high end, targeting the really affluent group. Qiao Yu plans to provide 10 million units of affordable housing for small and medium-sized units within five years to solve the housing problem of more than 30 million people.
Of course, this ratio will be adjusted with the growth of the Chinese population and the process of urbanization, but in any case, Qiao Yu's determination, housing is a big matter related to everyone, and it must be dealt with!
"President, now that North Vietnam and the South have clashed one after another, and war will break out soon, do you think we should focus on the war first!"
Yang Du continued: "President, can the people postpone a little, and when the war is over, the country's finances will be more abundant, and they will be tilted towards the people!" ”
Qiao Yu originally had this plan, but at this time, he shook his head firmly: "I still say the same thing, we can't be self-righteous to decide for the people, of course, I will not change the actions of the three Indochinese countries, as for how to balance, it is a matter for your advisers and Premier Wang!" ”
Qiao Yu made it clear that he was cheating, he had to do both, as for the difficulties, it was not for me to take care of, and Lao Yang Du had no other excuse, so he could only hope that Wang Yongjiang, a financial expert, could turn his hands into clouds and rain and make enough funds!
As soon as Qiao Yu stepped on the train and was about to return to Beijing, news came from the Vietnamese side that the French side had decided to execute three scholars who opposed French colonial rule, which immediately provoked a hornet's nest.
Since France was seized by China in North Vietnam, it has been trembling, fearing that China will rob the entire Indo-Chinese country, which has a very fatal impact on France, both in later generations and now, the so-called Parisian fashion can lead the trend of the world.
But aside from the complicated surface, you will find that most of these French fist products are actually processed from tropical specialties, such as perfumes, leather goods, etc., which is also an important relationship between France in the colonial era and went to the back, only occupying some corners that the British do not look down on, and can only take such a road in desperation.
Wouldn't it be impossible to do this road if the three Indochinese countries were lost, so the sensitive French upper echelons had a very tight grip on South Vietnam, and no opposition was allowed, but the more this was the case, the more likely it was to go wrong.
The people of South Vietnam took to the streets to protest, and then a serious conflict broke out, and at this time, Nguyen Ai Patriot was also instructed by China, and he officially issued an ultimatum to France, demanding that France push out South Vietnam, or else take decisive measures to unify the country!
In fact, China's control over North Vietnam is far tighter than France's control over South Vietnam, and Nguyen Ai Ai is now just a puppet, and his every move must be controlled by China, and this so-called ultimatum is actually China's expansion war book! (To be continued.) )
