On the blue sea, from time to time there are white waves, seagulls fly from the mast, from time to time with their wings from the sea, the blue sky above the sky floats white clouds, under the blowing of the sea breeze, changing various shapes, sometimes like a bison, sometimes like a fish, and sometimes even into the shape of a boat.

Thea, who was full of pigtails, sat on the bow of the boat, lying on the side of the boat with her hands, looking up at the changing clouds in the sky, her big eyes were full of innocent happiness, and only occasionally when she thought of those friends in the tribe, a little distressed look flashed on her face.

Thea is only 12 years old this year, and she is an ordinary little girl living in the native tribe of North America, but for some reason, she, her parents, and many other people from the same tribe boarded the big ship of the Han people and started a new life.

"Thea, what are you thinking?" At this moment, a Han man in a navy uniform walked over, sat next to Thea with a smile and asked.

Hearing this familiar voice, Thea didn't need to look back to know who was talking to her, so she replied in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "Uncle Li Yong, Thea misses her friends in the tribe, the bear and the boulder have stayed in the tribe, I don't know what they are doing now?" ”

This man, who is called Li Yong by Thea, is naturally Li Yong's iron buddy, Li Yong, the youngest son of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian. Speaking of which, he is also an old man in the Qi Palace, but later, like Cheng Huailiang and them, they both went to Chang'an Military Academy to study, but because of some things, he came to Taiwan later than Cheng Huailiang and them, and later entered the military academy to study naval warfare, and after graduating some time ago. Li Su originally wanted to arrange him to the relatively stable Nanyang Fleet, but Li Yong himself chose the most distant American Fleet. He is usually stationed in Hawaii and occasionally travels to the Americas.

The reason why Li Yong entered the American Fleet. In fact, I just wanted to go to the Americas to see and increase my understanding of the world in which I lived, and I thought that when Li Yu sat with them to drink and brag, he didn't brag to them about how rich the Americas were, and at that time Li Yong had the idea of going to see it with his own eyes, and now that he has this opportunity, he naturally doesn't want to let it go.

Now Li Yong is the captain of a capital battleship, and he can be regarded as the middle and upper echelons of the army, after joining the American Fleet. They are based in Hawaii, which is a very beautiful place, not only rich in products, but also has enthusiastic Hawaiian girls on the island, many young officers like to have some super friendship relations with local girls, Li Yong is no exception, and even he officially accepted the other party as a concubine, and built a house in Hawaii, ready to wait for the opportunity. I took my family to live for a while.

In addition, Li Yong often goes to the Americas to carry out missions, including several stronghold ports in North America and Central America, he has traveled all over and has a better understanding of the situation in the Americas.

Speaking of America, it is indeed as Li Su introduced at the beginning. It is beautiful and rich, with not only high-yielding crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, but also gold and silver. I heard that a lot of gold mines have been discovered in South America, and every month you can see boatloads of gold diggers venturing in. Dreaming of getting rich overnight.

It's just that in the process of exploring the Americas, it is inevitable to have to deal with the native Americans. For example, the Maya in Central America were the first Americans to come into contact with them, but now there is an outbreak of smallpox among the Maya, and I heard that the deaths and injuries are very serious.

Most of the Han people were still friendly with the Americans, such as the city of Chora, where Lüvin first came into contact, and the Mayans in the city were very friendly to them, and even helped Lüvin build the port of Lüvan. Similarly, in some strongholds and ports in North and South America, the Han Chinese were also willing to maintain good relations with the Americans, so that they could not only understand the Americas, but also get a lot of useful information from the other side, such as where gold was produced.

Of course, not all Americans are friendly, and there are some more xenophobic Americans who do not welcome their arrival, so the war will inevitably break out, but the Americans don't even have metal weapons, and in the face of the Daqi army that has been equipped with muskets, it is natural to collapse at the touch of a button, at least the few wars that Li Yong encountered, they were all very easy to win.

In the beginning, wars with the Americans were actually very rare, after all, the hospitality of the Indians in later generations was recognized, and as long as it did not threaten their safety, the Americans still welcomed these Han Chinese who brought all kinds of novelties. However, with the influx of Han Chinese, there will inevitably be some conflicts of interest, such as the competition for land, gold and other resources. So as time went on, the relationship between the Americans and the Han Chinese began to become somewhat antagonistic.

Sensing this change, the officials sent by Li Su to the Americas reported to the imperial court and thought hard about a solution, but they had not yet come up with a solution, but Li Su sent a solution.

In fact, what Li Su sent was not exactly a way, just a specious legend, legend has it that the king sent 100,000 troops to attack Dongyi, which is now the Shandong Peninsula region, but at this time, King Wu of Zhou took advantage of the emptiness of the Shang Dynasty to destroy the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop, and as a result, the 100,000 army had no country to return to, and then mysteriously disappeared, legend has it that they built ships on the Shandong Peninsula and went to sea, and it is likely that they crossed the Wa Kingdom east into the Kuroshio, so as to reach the Americas.

For Li Su's intention to send this legend, the officials stationed in the Americas immediately understood, and they began to hype this legend, and believed that the American natives were the descendants of the Yin Shang army that disappeared that year, and even found a lot of 'evidence', such as the Americans are also yellow people, and the appearance is very similar to the East Asian race, and the legends of some tribes do say that their ancestors came to the Americas by boat, which further confirms that the Americans are actually a family with the Central Plains.

Regardless of whether this legend is true or not, in fact, it doesn't matter to Li Su whether it is true or not, all he needs is a name. This name is that the Americans and the Central Plains are all one family, so things will be much easier, and the officials of Daqi began to vigorously promote the friendship between the two races under the banner of helping the Americans to 'find their ancestors and ask their ancestors'.

In the same way, the Americans are not stupid, they have always reported a kind of envy and awe for these foreign Han people, and now these Han people take the initiative to express their friendship and regard them as people of the same race, so many American tribes also reacted quickly, such as Thea on Li Yong's boat, their tribe was originally very friendly to the Han people, and now seize this opportunity to admit that their ancestors were immigrants in the Yin Shang period, and as a result, they got a huge opportunity.

As we all know, whether it is Datang or Daqi, there is a shortage of people in both countries, the birth encouragement program has not stopped, and the birth rate of babies every year is also very high, and even some newspapers have made statistics, among the adult men in the two countries, the average has three to four sons, as for the daughters, there is no statistics for the time being, I believe that the number will definitely not be less than this.

However, even with such a high birth rate, it still can't fill the population needs of various places, after all, babies can't grow up in a day, and this situation has almost become a common heart disease for Daqi and Datang.

Since these Americans admit that their ancestors are from the Central Plains, it is better to give them a chance to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and select some Americans to enter Nanyang, Australia and other places in urgent need of population, so as to solve the population needs of these places, and also reduce the density of local people in the Americas, so as to facilitate the immigration and management of the Americas in the future.

As for Li Su's bold idea, Wang An, as the prime minister, felt that it was very feasible after discussing it with various ministers, but they had differences about the status of the Americans who had migrated over.

Now there are hundreds of ethnic groups in Daqi, but these ethnic groups can be simply divided into Han and non-Han people, among which the Han people naturally have the highest status in the country.

As for the non-Han nationality, it is very complicated, but Li Su holds a kind of tolerance to all rivers, and implements Sinicization education for all non-Han people, according to the degree of sinicization and the amount of tax paid, divided into four levels, that is, the four-level alien race that is very famous in the history of Daqi.

In fact, legally speaking, the status of the most advanced first-class alien race is not much different from that of the Han people, but after all, Daqi is a Han-dominated country, and all aspects are controlled by the Han people, so even if they have obtained the first-class alien race, they still desperately want to get rid of their alien identity and truly become a Han Chinese.

As a result, in this case, the relevant provisions allowing aliens to truly become Han Chinese appeared. Of course, it is naturally impossible for a foreign race to become a Han nationality in the sense of blood, but Daqi can give them an official Han identity, but it is very difficult to obtain this identity.

The first is to need an alien race to become a first-level alien race, which is already difficult in itself, there are tens of millions of alien races in Daqi, but the first-level alien race is less than one thousandth. The second requirement is that this first-class alien race pays more than a certain amount of tax every year for ten consecutive years, which keeps a considerable number of people out of the door. It is said that at the first ceremony of elevation of the alien race to the Han nationality, only less than 100 alien races qualified to become Han Chinese, and most of them were the Sanhan, Ezo Hu and Wa people who were ruled earlier by Li Su.

It is also this situation in Daqi that makes Wang An and they don't know how to define the identity of these Americans who have migrated to live in Daqi, before the Daqi official has always advocated that the two races are one family in the Americas, so if the Americans are now designated as aliens, isn't it a slap in the face?

However, if it is directly given the identity of the Han people in the Americans, it is also very inappropriate, because the status of the Han people in Daqi is high, and if these Americans who are still in a tribal state are defined as Han people, this will not only make some nationalists among the Han people dissatisfied, but also cause some psychological imbalances of different races. Moreover, the number of Americans is not a minority, although there are not many people who admit that they are descendants of Yin Shang now, but if all Americans admit that they are descendants of Yin Shang in the future, then their population problem will exceed that of the real Han Chinese, and I am afraid it will bring more serious problems.
