The overseas Chinese in Nanyang can be said to have been oppressed too badly by these European colonizers.

Originally, he couldn't survive on the mainland, so he went south to the South Seas to take an adventure. Finally, several generations of thrifty family members have created a foundation, but they don't want the hard work of the Chinese people not only to make the indigenous people jealous, but also to create the wealth that the colonists covet.

With the end of the republic's reprisals, the natives, who had been almost naturalized and knew what it meant to be obedient, were retained. Those who dared to resist were basically either killed or taken to work in the mines, and they would not be released for twenty years. If they die, then they can only say that they are unlucky. After all, the republic also provides them with three meals a day, at least so that they don't starve to death.

Nanyang officially became the territory of China, and even the Indochina Peninsula was occupied. Excluding the fact that the Xuanfu Envoy of Annam was still nominally still in Wei, Nanyang had completely entered the control of the Republic.

The republic is not a colonizer, and the land occupied by the republic will only become a permanent land, sacred and indivisible.

Therefore, the new batch of newly promoted civil servants who passed the civil service examination, and a group of old civil servants who saw that they would not achieve anything in their own work and wanted to fight hard, formed the main official group of Nanyang, and came to this strange place with the sea ships. They are faced with the status quo of the South Seas, which has been turned into a miasma by the colonizers, and is almost starting from scratch. It is conceivable that in the past few years, their lives will be very difficult and their work will be very hard. But if they can persevere, the members of Congress will eventually have their share in the future.

Just like the first batch of Cun Zài who went to Myanmar to serve as officials, the young Gu Yanwu and Xiao Yao were transferred back to Chang'an after their term of office expired. One now works in the Supreme People's Court and the other in the Ministry of Finance. Of course, the ministerial or deputy minister rank is still a little further away, but in another three years or so, the older generation will retire if they are not able to move up further. When the time comes, the parliament of the republic will be theirs.

It is also ironic to say that the republic adopts a two-party and one-emperor system. Among them, the emperor allowed him to retire at the age of 60, or retire early, and Zhang Hongbin was less than 30 years old, so naturally he would not retire so soon. However, the National Assembly has a clear rule for members and speakers that they can be re-elected at most once, for a total of eight years.

What does this mean? For example, Li Dingguo entered the parliament at the age of twelve, and at the age of twenty, he was in the prime of his life, and he was about to retire.

Yes, the National Assembly, as the highest executive level, can only retire after re-election. It's not like to be old and occupy someone else's place. It's just that Zhang Hongbin's situation is relatively special, the group of people he started with are not very old, and the most important thing is that with the slow growth of the country, the positions of these people have also been continuously improved. With the establishment of the country, many of them entered Congress in their thirties and forties, and some even faced the problem of retirement in their thirties.

Especially the generation of Li Dingguo, Wang Er, and He Ling, whose term of office will expire in another three years, and they will retire at that time.

You must know that by that time, Li Dingguo was only thirty years old!

In fact, as a new batch of officials began to be promoted, the issue of tenure was also discussed in Congress. Many people feel that the situation of this generation is more special, and it is better to delay the term. It has also been suggested that, according to the regular promotion, without taking into account the king's special promises, a civil servant would need to be about 50 to 60 years old to be promoted from a local to a member of parliament. After eight consecutive years, he is almost seventy years old. If it is changed because of the special nature of this generation, will it leave an excuse for extending the term of office casually in the future? Therefore, most people feel that what should be withdrawn should be retreated.

The two sides also argued for a while, and finally set a tone.

On congressional affiliates, a panel of advisors is added, which has the right to establish and vote, but not the right to be elected. Each consultant can work in the advisory group until the age of 70, and apply for retirement from the age of 60. In fact, many people know that the advisory group will only be dismissed until they die.

The Advisory Panel has no real powers and is not involved in the administration. Basically, they are only required to come forward if the Diet is formally convened or summoned by His Majesty the Emperor. There is the right to discuss things, but it is someone else's business whether or not others agree. They also have the right to vote, and they participate in the formulation of national policies through guò votes. However, it is clear that the total number of members of the advisory panel will not exceed the total number of members of the National Assembly and the auditorium. In other words, even if they all vote, if the councillors and the popular representatives in the seats do not cooperate, they will not be allowed to vote.

Of course, whether or not to join the advisory group is also based on one's own will, and will not be forced. It's just that members whose terms have expired, but are not old enough, are eligible to join the advisory panel as advisers, and that's it.

The republic now has a foundation for governing the country according to law, and the military discipline is constantly improving, and the new generation of officers does not need to worry at all about running out of wars. They are not the flowers of the greenhouse, they may be more immature than the older generation, but they are only inferior to experience, and they are more energetic than the older generation!

Not to mention, if you are promoted according to the regular route, after a few years, the people who can enter the National Assembly are basically middle-aged people in their fifties and sixties. They are all mature and steady, and their rationality is stronger, and the so-called old people seek the country, and sometimes when they reach this height, it is better to hand them over than to young people.

Of course, there are still three years to go, and it's still too early.

But there is one thing that needs to be done as soon as possible.

Without him, just because Zhang Hongbin finally got enough consumption to upgrade the supermarket system! It's a little long since the last upgrade, so long that Zhang Hongbin almost forgot that the supermarket can be upgraded......

"Welcome to the supermarket, is there anything I need to serve?" The shopping guide still said this formulaicly.

"In other words, this sentence has been said for more than ten years, don't change it?" Zhang Hongbin raised his eyebrows, but this was the Nth time he had flirted with the shopping guide.

"If you are willing to pay 100,000 taels of gold, you can choose to change the greeting content. However, this money is not included in the consumption amount. The shopping guide seems to have answered this way for the Nth time, and I don't know if he is serious or joking at Zhang Hongbin.

100,000 taels to buy a sentence, and it is not included in the consumption amount, this is really a thousand words...... Alas, I am not a big dog and cannot afford to consume it......

"I suddenly felt that this upgrade was too slow...... Why is this so? Zhang Hongbin looked at the elevator and said with emotion.

"If you can follow the principle of 'what you build is better than what you buy' and actively buy supermarket goods, you may be able to complete the upgrade task a year earlier. As for the discount privileges you get from upgrading, aren't you going to want to? The shopping guide said with a smile.

Well, self-help development really comes at a price, and this price is that the consumption has not been able to accumulate.

With a consumption of five million taels, this is enough to upgrade to the sixth level. Again, when the fourth level was upgraded to the fifth level, not only did it cost a million taels of consumption, but also paid 700,000 taels to open a new area. It has been accumulated step by step until now, but no one knows the history of blood and tears.

"The customer's consumption has reached 5 million taels, which is enough to upgrade the conditions, is it upgraded?" The shopping guide said very formulaically.

"Level up!" If you don't upgrade, Zhang Hongbin will still fight for a ball of consumption, you must know that most of the goods that can be used can be directly made.

As his shouting ended, the entire supermarket began to sway again, and he, who was used to the upgrade, naturally knew that this was the opening of a new floor. In the words of the shopping guide, it is a series of movements caused by the new floor beginning to be airlifted from another time and space. Five million taels of silver is the cost of air transportation.

Of course, the five million taels were not directly invested, but obtained by spending in the supermarket. In other words, after deducting a series of expenses such as costs, the cost of air transportation is the cost. But if the profit of space-time trade is less than 300%, then there is almost no need to save zài, right? You know, it's a monopoly! The pricing is done exactly as you want, and you don't need to think about what your customers think. If you don't think you can't be too dark, I'm afraid that if you want to make a fortune, you really have to take the high-end route from the beginning.

After three minutes, the first qiē became calm, which meant that the sixth layer had appeared.

"Congratulations, the supermarket system has been upgraded to level six! The next level requires a consumption of 15 million taels of silver, and you will get a 7.5% discount on shopping, welcome your long-term support to the system, I wish you a happy shopping! "The shopping guide is still very formulaic and reports some basic information.

Zhang Hongbin didn't talk nonsense, and took the elevator directly to the sixth floor.

There are still six areas on the sixth floor that have not been opened, namely tools, medicine, books, military, luxury goods, and nautical supplies. Opening fee Zhang Hongbin also consulted, and each area needs to be opened with a consumption of 500,000 taels of silver. Zhang Hongbin has just opened the sixth layer, so naturally he doesn't have the money to open these special areas.

Simply, let's focus on the general area first. You must know that the shelves are sold with more advanced daily necessities.

For example, a solar-powered smart rice cooker that only needs to bask in the sun for three hours can continue to work for a month. This thing is fully intelligently controlled, cooking rice and soup can ensure that the heat is controlled very well, and there is even a special area for seasoning, which can be seasoned intelligently, and even after the completion of the preparation, it will pass the buyer's opinion to adjust the taste appropriately in the next time to ensure that it best meets the taste needs of the buyer.

Another example is the solar vacuum washing machine, which does not need laundry detergent or water, and only needs to put the clothes in it, which can remove all the dirt and bacteria in a completely vacuum state, and does not damage the fiber and does not fade.

Don't look at the high technical content, in fact, according to the shopping guide, in the future, these electrical appliances actually have special special energy sources, which can be used semi-permanently. But since it's a knockoff, considering that there is no way to mine or manufacture this special energy source in this time and space, it was changed to solar energy. If this thing was placed on that plane, I was afraid that no one would buy it, but in this plane, it was definitely a first-class high-tech product.

What makes Zhang Hongbin crazy is the genetic optimizer, which used to be type I, but now it is type II. Although it is still a copycat, the success rate has been greatly improved, with an 85% probability of optimizing genes, and even a 0.01% probability of unlocking genes...... In fact, if it is genuine, not to mention 100% optimized genes, there is still about a 35% probability that the first layer of gene locks can be opened...... No way, knockoffs......

It's just that there is one thing that makes Zhang Hongbin very unhappy, that is, the problem of failure rate. After all, he knows that the more advanced something is, the more likely it is to have a failure rate.

If it is a normal situation, this optimizer can have a success rate of 85%, if it is a faulty product, I am afraid that it will drop to 30%, a real gamble.

Therefore, Zhang Hongbin is still hesitant to buy this thing.

"Are you worried about the failure rate? Please rest assured, you only need to consume 100 taels of silver, you can inspect at the inspection office, and you can get the inspection report immediately in three minutes, and you can see at a glance whether it is a good product or a faulty product. At the same time, if it is a faulty product, you can repair it by spending a certain amount of silver according to its quality. And you can rest assured that the price will never exceed 20% of the selling price of the product. This is special only when you reach the sixth layer. Serve. The shopping guide seemed to see through Zhang Hongbin's worries, and immediately stepped forward to say.

When Zhang Hongbin heard this, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.

"However, inspection fees and adjustment fees are not included in the consumption!" The shopping guide came with a magic sword.

"Sure enough...... Don't expect too much from this system! Zhang Hongbin looked up to the sky and sighed.
