Chapter 209: Step by step

After introducing the situation of the farm, looking at the energetic young man in front of him, Cade thought in his heart rather unkindly: "Young people are in good spirits, and then they will suffer." ”

Since it was the first day, the third state farm was mainly to arrange accommodation for these students, but from tomorrow onwards, they will really have to work in the fields.

The next day.

"Today's task is to weed, and you can see that this land is not small, but according to the arrangement of previous years, you will not be assigned other farm tools today, do you see the hoe in my hand? You can only use hoes to hoe the ground. ”

However, young people in East Africa are not inseparable, some of them will help their families do some farm work, and they are still very good at using hoes.

However, the plot of land on the third state farm is not a small fight, and the area is very large, so it is also a considerable amount of work for them.

Soon, everyone was in full swing with their hoes, and Mbeya was at a relatively high altitude, so the weather was not too hot, which was not too stressful for everyone, but the sun was a little sunny.

With the passage of time, the practical course for the students of the second middle school was still very interesting at first, and now it is a little wilted, but it is still easier to get through this boring work in a group, but when it comes to lunch at noon, the students have a headache.

"Ahh How it's all flatbread and pickles. ”

It's not that East African students are pretentious, the latitude of East Africa makes it not too low in temperature all year round, and if you ensure that the water is sufficient, that is, plants can grow all year round, although East Africa only has a rainy season and a dry season.

Therefore, this leads to the low variety and yield of vegetables in East Africa, not to mention vegetables, even flowers, which are more delicate plants, are very suitable for growing in East Africa.

Therefore, the level of meat consumption of East Africans may not be as good as that of some countries for the time being, but the vegetables are definitely enough, and the Chinese immigrant groups in East Africa have brought the woks to East Africa, so East African stir-fry is also quite popular.

In other words, Ernst felt that the simplicity of European food had a lot to do with their cooking methods, or more primitive, frying, roasting, frying, or directly stewing in a pot, except for frying a little more advanced, other ways seem to be born with civilized humans all over the world.

And stir-frying is a great way to deal with vegetables, such as in India, where the main eating habit is to make a paste of vegetables and other ingredients, or Western vegetable salads are compromises made by the lack of stir-frying.

As if hearing the students' complaints, Cade said: "Because this course is to let you understand the hard work and the difficulty of life, just like the land you are plowing today, the output of the whole year, that is, the wheat, which eventually becomes the bread in your hands." ”

"Uncle Cade, but we don't lack food in East Africa?"

"Of course we know this, but East Africa is a special case, there are still many countries in the world where people even have the luxury of having enough to eat, you can go back and ask your parents, many of them, unless they are fleeing the war, most of them immigrated to East Africa because they can't eat, so they can't be at ease because East Africa is better now."

Only comparison can more intuitively reflect the quality of life in East Africa, but the surrounding countries of East Africa do not have this condition compared with East Africa, and those black people are still in the hunting and gathering stage.

So Cade continued: "Don't look at the only bread and pickles here, in fact, it may not be easy for the civilians of some countries to eat these things, you have caught up with the good times, and you have not suffered much, take me, I used to only eat a paste made of corn, and I often did not have enough to eat, and some Far Eastern immigrants were even worse, many of them even ate tree bark and grass roots. ”

Cade's words made the students of Secondary 2 think about it, in fact, most of the second generation in East Africa, whose parents came from hard times, will also tell them about their previous lives.

Of course, when he first arrived in East Africa, life was not necessarily good, he could only maintain basic food and clothing, and he also had to face the threat of disease, which was also the reason why Ernst did not go to East Africa in person in the early days, and only after the development of East Africa did the Heixingen royal family migrate to East Africa, so after more than ten years of development, the average quality of life of East Africans was greatly improved after the outbreak of East African productivity.

Looking at the thoughtful students, Caede was very relieved, in fact, East Africans, at least ordinary people, have a very simple mentality.

As the saying goes, the poor begs treacherous schemes, and the rich begs conscience, regardless of Europe and the United States or the Far East, the poor must live a careful life, and in this kind of society in East Africa, the people at the bottom are certainly not too rich, and the poor are not poor, so the competition is not fierce enough, and everyone does not have to calculate too much to live, and the whole society is more harmonious.

Of course, the development of East Africa is bound to embark on the road of competition and involution, otherwise it will not be able to compete with other countries in the future, and as for now, the conditions are not yet mature.

The first generation of immigrants, the main force of East Africa's population, is in its prime and although it is physically strong, its cultural quality is quite low, even among the East African bureaucracy.

Therefore, the national policy and direction of East Africa is almost completely controlled by the Hexingen royal family, because only the Hexingen royal family has experience in national governance.

However, the Heshingen royal family was only a small royal family in Germany before, and had no experience in governing a super-large country like East Africa.

In other words, the country of East Africa is extremely immature, and if you want the country to quickly have the ability to renew and optimize itself, you need to deregulate and let East Africa compete fiercely.

Ernst would not have done this, because if East Africa was in ancient times, it would not matter what it did, but now is the era of imperialism, and external troubles are better than internal troubles, so Ernst did not want East Africa to be in turmoil and self-depletion, giving potential enemies such as Britain an opportunity to take advantage of.

Therefore, from the very beginning, East Africa has grasped the army in its hands, and completed the construction of the country through the army, after all, one of the characteristics of the army is that it is relatively easy to manage, but East Africa is not as dependent on the army as Prussia, and Ernst began to return to military power after every time the East African army broke through the restrictions.

However, it was all gradual, and Ernst was always able to keep the number of troops in a reasonable range.

In the early days of East Africa, the people of East Africa were managed by the army, and in the early days, East Africa was actually a military camp, forming a high degree of centralization in East Africa.

As a result, East Africa's policy is top-down, rather than bottom-up, as in democracies such as Britain, France, and the United States.

However, it is not quite correct to say that in Britain, France, the United States and other countries, democracy is not quite correct, Ernst understands that the people are the lowest people, while the people in Europe are more in line with the Roman citizenship of the ancient Roman era.

This can be seen from the electoral systems of Europe and the United States, which have not yet evolved to the point where all people have the right to vote.

In the United Kingdom, for example, after 1866, Britain passed two parliamentary reforms, and it was not until 1885 that universal suffrage for adult men was basically realized, and the universal suffrage of adult men in Britain was the result of many previous workers' struggles.

At present, there is no need for so-called elections in East Africa, the size of the East African working group is not large, the level of education of the people is temporarily at a low level, and the people's desire for political demands is not high.

Ernst naturally couldn't push for this kind of thing, after all, he was an aristocrat, and he would only follow up when the water was ready, and now the East African people only had to obey the royal arrangement.

Of course, Ernst also understands the inviolable truth of the general trend, if he is reborn in ancient times, then he is too lazy to make any changes, so the future development of East Africa must grasp the degree and conform to the development of the times.
