Tuesday, November 22, 1622.

On the same day, a session of the House of Representatives was held on the topic of how to integrate the Chinese immigrants of the Ming Dynasty into the daily life of the new country.

Originally, it was only a regular meeting of the nature of discussion, and only Premier Qi Jianjun was present as a representative of the government cabinet, but the meeting was held until the afternoon.

When the topic gradually deepens into how to study the national character of the country, trouble comes. The last time the Army Command was in a confrontational and irreproachable manner, some people in Congress felt a deep loss of face. Since there is no way to take the military, then retreat to the second, poor Qi Jianjun, as a government representative, was grabbed by the old pigtails on the spot. The Chinese immigrants of the Ming Dynasty who resisted the health and quarantine regulations and lost their lives have always been haunted by some members of Congress, and the problem has begun to rise to the level of forgetting their ancestors.

However, the verbal criticism has not been fully developed, and the digression has happened as always. From the government's dereliction of duty to the sense of national responsibility, from the theory of racial kinship to the theory of cultural kinship, from historical nationality to regional nationality, less than 40 members of the House of Representatives have divided into two factions and attacked each other.

It is said that if the speaker of the House of Representatives had not forcibly ended the session, it is estimated that the members of the House of Representatives who are overpowered would have been arguing for several more hours.

When Qi Jianjun dragged his tired body back to the government office building, he brought back some views of the House of Representatives that left cabinet ministers dumbfounded.

"Why do you say it's my responsibility! In the first place, the guidelines for the implementation of the national health system and immigration health and quarantine were passed by the government meeting and submitted to the National Assembly for the record, so why did not the question be raised in the first place? When something happens, I say that I don't respect Chinese immigrants! ”

In the conference room, the Minister of Health and Education, who is one of the only three female ministers in the cabinet, threw down his notebook, and his whole body trembled slightly: "It's too much, don't you just want to find a scapegoat, how can you look at me all day long!" I'm quitting! Woo. It's too much of a bully! ”

Qi Yu stood up, pulled his bag, and walked directly towards the door of the conference room. Liu Lanxi, the police minister on the side, hurriedly followed out to comfort him.

A few minutes later, Ms. Liu returned to the conference room, and the resignation of the Minister of Health and Education, Qi Yu, seemed irreversible. Defense Minister Zheng Quan, who had not spoken during the discussion, withdrew on the spot with a dead face.

"Some people in Congress have nothing to do, when they are playing games? It's just a head-slapping idea! Thinking up for a while, down for a while! There must be a limit to just talking and not doing things! So the national feelings are deep, how much the fuck did you care about one person at the beginning? Have a kind of yourself with a foot or two of long hair to see? ”

Finance Minister Liu Xin threw away his pencil and pointed in the direction of the congressional office area and was furious: "The special welfare for bullshit compatriots, the one-time placement fee of 20 yuan is not enough, and it will be increased to 40 yuan!" Never fucking learned arithmetic?! This year and next year add up to more than 8,000 people, more than 300,000! At least 160,000 per year in the future! ”

"The regular discussion of the House of Representatives is not a vote on proposals, others are just putting forward opinions." Li Xiang rubbed his hair. I've been thinking about how to make a plan for next year's migration.

"Bullshit's opinions, do they have the attitude of having nothing to do, hula, several people are coaxing, not included in the government work plan, is the cruel words of forgetting their ancestors! If these second-class goods provoke Lao Tzu and force Lao Tzu to have a meeting next time, they will scold them? It's really a chicken feather arrow! Freedom of speech is fucking good. Anything can come with just your mouth open. Liu Xin weakly unbuttoned his collar, showing signs of collapse.

"We're giving them a new life and a future for this new country, but we're not spending money and trying to set up charities to invite them to come and enjoy themselves." Zhou Yi, Minister of Construction, spread his hands helplessly, "The bank housing loan contract we set for them is symbolic. It's much more lenient than the loan contract for European immigrants. Just to carry out the construction of residential quarters, the Ministry of Construction has to advance a lot of funds. ”

"I think that we people are special enough, and in the future, this country will inevitably be dominated by ethnic Chinese, and it is easy to occupy the superior resources at all levels of the country. Therefore, the ostensible national policy must be fair and just, otherwise it is easy to cultivate a sense of vested interests of a wider range of specific people, and once national antagonism appears, it will be too late to change it, which is a big problem in our previous society, and we cannot continue to make these mistakes. National consciousness must take precedence! It is absolutely unreliable for immigrants in the Ming Dynasty to directly obtain the right of formal settlement, and no matter how much there is a time threshold! ”

Hong Changlin, Minister of Industry, was also quite dissatisfied with the "national policy" in the past, and naturally resolutely opposed the policy of national specialization.

"However, I think the meaning of the House of Representatives should not be as extreme as you think, and the government still needs to express its attitude appropriately. It is better to start with my Women's and Children's Department and set up a public kindergarten, not only Chinese immigrant families with children, but also European immigrant families can also enjoy it, so as not to artificially create a gap between immigrants because of special benefits, and the children are together, which is also the best way to cultivate and integrate culture! ”

Li Lin, Minister of Women and Children's Affairs, put forward the most feasible plan at this time, and all the old men who vented their dissatisfaction nodded one after another.

They are both young people, but they are two very different groups...... Premier Qi Jianjun, who had not spoken, quietly watched the heated discussion that was gradually getting on the right track at this time, and compared it with the juniors in the parliament and the government, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Qi Jianjun suddenly remembered a sentence: A good system also has a bad system that can be tolerated, and if a bad system is bad, it can only make people unbearable. Some of the harsh remarks in Congress are, at best, an immature political sentiment or mentality, and not an irreconcilable contradiction in itself.

However, what made him a little curious was that Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong, the two guys who usually always take a bit of "thorny" claims, actually didn't say a word, either in a daze, or they were perfunctory.

At 23 o'clock in the evening, several programs that could directly or indirectly promote a better work and life for Chinese immigrants in the Ming Dynasty and improve the harmony between Eastern and Western immigrants were finalized. It can be regarded as an expression of the government's importance to the outside world.

On the quiet central street in the southern district of Manchuria, in addition to the street lamps on the side of the road are still weakly burning the last fire oil, only two young people are left walking slowly side by side. A horse-drawn cart picking up garbage from the city came slowly, and the Indian hired man on the cart cast a curious glance at the two men.

The temperature in late autumn in North America is already very low, and the two of them shrug their coats and coats and smoke silently, as if they have something on their minds. No one spoke.

When passing by the central square, the Lala Zhen Food Store was the only building with lights on, and it was still open at midnight! The two looked at each other. At the same time, he turned and walked towards the door.

"Welcome, gentlemen!"

The person who looked at the store was actually a European girl in a beautiful waitress uniform, and the first half of the sentence was Chinese. The second half of the sentence is in Portuguese. Judging from the figure and appearance, it must be one of the best little Yanmars brought back by Shi Wenbo a few months ago. However, why did she appear as a waitress at Lalazhen Restaurant, which surprised Su Zining.

It seems that the owner of Lalazhen's food shop, the young man who claims to be a pastry master, has a lot of skills.

"Two cups of coffee, some sugar, thank you!" After going out for so long, Yan Xiaosong has learned to speak Portuguese fluently.

Soon, two cups of steaming coffee were served on the table, and the rich aroma filled the empty shop. A European waitress, no more than 16 or 7 years old, sat behind the counter and quietly looked at the last customers of the day.

"When are you going to get married to Katarina?" Su Zining shook the spoon. casually looked at the dark and empty square outside the glass window, "Or are you going to prepare to be like Shi Wenbo, throw one at home and hug a bunch outside?" ”

"Don't mention it, you've been losing your temper with me these days. said that she wanted to join the Navy, and also said that she used to be a qualified lieutenant in the Navy. Yan Xiaosong pursed the corners of his lips, his expression was a little rotten, "I said that we don't need her old-fashioned naval service experience at all, and she almost asked for a knife comparison with me!" ”

"Don't! Your fiancée is a 17th-century version of Spain, and she can't live in Spain. She's going to be tsundere. Su Zining nodded hurriedly.

"Don't talk about me, what about you and Yuan Xinyi? What's new? Seeing that his friend was stunned, Yan Xiaosong was happy, "This doesn't look like your style, Lao Su, with your eloquence, no matter how you look at it, you belong to the kind of goods that get on the ship first and then make up the ticket." ”

Smiling noncommittally, Su Zining took a sip of coffee, and when he put down the cup, his expression was already extremely serious: "Yan Xiaosong, why do you say we should spend so much money to emigrate from the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Huh?" The cup in Yan Xiaosong's hand stopped at his lips, slowly put it down, and showed a strange expression, "Wasn't our original idea to enrich the Chinese population?" What, you regret it too? ”

"What do you mean I 'too' regret?" Su Zining was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and pointed to his friend in front of him, "It seems that you have doubts, right?" Let's talk about it! ”

"I think some people in Congress are too blind, or that behind their national enthusiasm, they are actually too cold-blooded!" Yan Xiaosong sighed and headed to the east, "All the way over, even if I was careful and careful, and I was so well prepared, nearly 700 people died...... But almost no one cares about that number. Caterina also asked me why we had to transport Ming people from so far at all costs...... I think we seem to be playing a game, they are the resources in the game, in fact, we only see them as a resource that can be used safely to have children, rather than relying on our compatriots! We don't care how much we lose on the road. Even we feel that they are all people who can't survive in this era anyway, and dying in the Ming Dynasty is the same as dying at sea. ”

"So people can be parliamentarians and do big things, and you and I can only run errands! This is the pain that national rejuvenation must bear! Your consciousness is too low! "Su Zining's poisonous tongue is here again.

"When the sailboat sank, when the corpses were thrown from the deck into the sea, I even thought, maybe those hundreds of dead people may not be able to survive in Daming." Yan Xiaosong ignored his friend's taunt, staring at the slightly flowing dark liquid in the coffee cup, as if recalling the past, the terrifying storm that covered the sky and the sun when passing by the Cape of Good Hope was so impressive.

"If we are with the ideal of national rejuvenation and hope that this Chinese nation can avoid the erosion of foreign races, then we have enough time to prepare, and do we really need to travel thousands of miles to let them die all the way?" Yan Xiaosong sighed, and his optimistic smile vanished. "How we want to see our fellow citizens, but we don't identify with them at all. We always have a strange superficial hypocrisy and realism. ”

"You are now more worried about the country and the people than I am." Su Zining pointed to the other party's heart, suddenly laughed, and looked at his friend with a sad face playfully, "Hey, how much you love this country and this nation." So tall. But you don't know how to care about the inner world of ordinary people like me. ”

"Hehe,! Are you disgusting or not? What inner world do you have that I care about! Yan Xiaosong snorted, almost spitting out the coffee he had just drunk. But just like that, the sorrow that had just risen in my heart disappeared.

"Loneliness, in fact, we are lonely. to see more familiar faces. Yan Xiaosong ...... Su Zining patted the table, then lit a cigarette, "We are surrounded by a group of Europeans who have caused us great harm in history, as well as the elusive Indians. The imprint of historical memories makes us feel lonely and afraid. We are habitually unconfident, and we want to use this plug-in of time and space travel to get rid of the habitual unconfidence brought to us by this tragic history. National rejuvenation may be a lofty ideal, but in our group of people, there is more in our hearts that is not national rejuvenation, or national rejuvenation is only secondary, and there may be more taste of seeking compensation and revenge from history. ”

"Seeking reparation, revenge for history? Hehe, if that's interesting...... I don't believe you, Su Zining is also such a superficial ideal! Yan Xiaosong was stunned for a while. Slowly raised his head and stared at his friend's eyes, "It's hard for others to say, but you're known for being 'insincere'." In this time and space, history is still going one step at a time to the present. Even if we are familiar with this paragraph, the rest is still unknowable, and we can only go one step at a time. ”

"It's not me, it's us. We have been wronged in reality for more than 20 years, and we have been wronged in textbooks for hundreds of years, so why can't we seek compensation? Su Zining laughed self-deprecatingly. If you don't have it, you care about it, you will be hysterical, you will get carried away, and you will have a sense of superiority. ”

"So, we can't build a new country with paranoia of persecution. We have painful memories of history, but we cannot allow our descendants to carry them as well. Yan Xiaosong thought about it carefully and finally understood what Su Zining meant.

"How much we hate history of 'no ifs', so it's cool to take revenge on history, and I've fantasized about it, and I'm even doing it now!" Su Zining nodded slightly and continued, "But what can happen in the future?" Can we write a new history with a tyrannical mentality of 'who cares about the flood after I die'? Can we really leave a better country than the history of what comes to come? ”

"Therefore, we must cherish this opportunity, not to turn back the wheel of history, to cultivate this country with our knowledge and in the most effective way, so that our nation and our civilization can develop beyond the rhythm of the times, and let future generations live our ideal new life." Yan Xiaosong clenched his fists, and his passionate expression resurfaced, as if he had gone to Daming alone.

"It's young again, isn't it? We don't have much to talk about our knowledge, but do we have the ability to cultivate the most effective new life in our ideals? I have said that we are a poor bunch of people, a bunch of people who are out of place in this era. No matter what era our social mentality is placed in, it is a strange existence. ”

As he spoke, Su Zining suddenly pointed at Yan Xiaosong's heart with the small spoon in his hand: "Yan Xiaosong, when you have a child, how will you educate him?" ”

"Me? I would look for a learned mentor, a noble mentor. Yan Xiaosong smiled and shook his head self-deprecatingly, "I know what you're going to say, why don't I teach ...... myself?"

"Well, like my parents, they want us not to be like them, that we can live a different and happy life, that we can be the kind of people they haven't been." Su Zining put down the spoon with a smile, "However, they didn't find it, because people in society are the same as them, and what they hope for is only in books, and it doesn't work in reality, so we haven't become their ideal characters." I have children, and I don't dare to teach them, even if I think I'm talented. I was afraid that I would always involuntarily teach my children that they were not allowed to help the elderly when they fell. ”

"I've always wondered why we need immigrants from the Ming Dynasty. Because we will become the soil, giving a new nourishment to the national compatriots of this era, so that they can bear beautiful fruits. They are the seeds, carrying the Chinese civilization and taking root and sprouting in this land we have created. ”

"I'm still thinking that we can use our knowledge and values, and use the immigrants of the Ming Dynasty to assimilate and create a new Chinese nation and achieve national rejuvenation. But during this time, I became more and more confused and afraid. Su Zining glanced at the best little Yanmar who was napping not far away, and showed a bitter smile, "What kind of sprouts can our soil bear?" What kind of new Chinese nation is taught? What kind of faith and wisdom are instilled in them? ”

"We are just a group of poor historical freaks, and the social psychology we carry is so inferior, impetuous, and hypocritical. In addition to the brilliance and superiority of appearance, we are so poor in this era that all we have left is rifles, battleships, cannons, and dollars to prove ourselves! ”

"We either fit into the world or we isolate ourselves from the world. It's like a group of people with sludge and abscesses by the swimming pool, and there are two pools of water in front of them, the east and the west, and none of them really belongs to us. If we choose any one to jump into, we will bring in a pile of black mud and germs. ”

"Do we want to assimilate and cultivate a people who share our values and attitudes? One has no faith, one does not believe that there are gods on his head, one has no limit to doing things, one laughs at poverty and does not laugh at prostitution, one has an honest conscience and can be sold by the pound, one has a materialistic desire and melamine Sudan is full of red and red, a courtesy, righteousness and shame can only be seen in textbooks, and a new Chinese nation that cares about the flood after my death? What future can this new Chinese nation move towards? ”

"In this world, there are two groups of people in crisis right now. One is the national compatriots of the Ming Dynasty, if history cannot be changed and progress is stifled, they will experience the catastrophe of civilization again, and then repeat history, and finally become what we are; The other is us, we grew up in the fault line of history, congenitally stunted, acquired too much missing, if we do not heal ourselves and wash ourselves in advance, we will stain this country, and even lead the whole country and our children and grandchildren to decline in the future, and become an obsolete product of history! But we don't want to change ourselves, it's hard to change, it's hard for us to make up our minds to operate on ourselves, and we care more about ourselves than we care about this nation. ”

"So, we can't make soil, we can't do soil...... What kind of seeds are placed in soil like ours, whether good or bad, will change...... We can only live for a few decades by relying on the right to speak and double standards of historical compensation, but we cannot allow our future generations to be polluted. In their eyes, the history of this world is like this, and our country and civilization are the greatest existence, no one can compare! There is no need for them to carry the burden of our history and take revenge on history as their own responsibility to learn from our arrogant and tyrannical mentality and appearance. I don't want to be saints, and I don't want future generations to be saints, I just want them not to do worse than the successful nations in history. ”

After Su Zining finished speaking, he took out two silver coins from his pocket and gently placed them on the table.

"Thank you, it tastes good!"

Su Zining didn't wait for Yan Xiaosong to ask any questions, then got up and walked towards the door. The silver coin struck on the table, making a crisp long sound, and the waitress who was napping behind the service desk quickly rubbed her sleepy eyes and stood up and bowed slightly, looking "trained" well.

"So what role are we going to do?! Do you want to die by eating together? ”

Yan Xiaosong then stood up and yelled at his friend's back, with unwillingness on his face.

Turning around slowly, Su Zining's originally stern and calm expression instantly erased, and he suddenly smiled: "This new history has treated us very favorably, we will be paving stones, gardeners, fences, and flower pots to repay it." Finding the best soil in this era and putting it in, screening the seeds of Chinese civilization that we think are the most valuable for cultivation and putting them in, hoeing, killing insects, watering, fertilizing, loosening the soil, and pruning, and they will create a truly excellent Chinese civilization, so that our descendants can return to the new order, this is our mission in this era, nothing more. If you don't want to take on this mission, you can obediently be your own rich man, enjoy the compensation of history, and take care of yourself and wait for death. (To be continued......)
