Chapter 236: Orphans
There are many projects like the Kui River arch dam in East Africa, and some of the large and small projects are fast-paced, and some are relatively heavy, so the construction period is relatively long.
In fact, the so-called big projects in East Africa are not many, but by countless small projects combined into big projects, not to mention others, like many large rivers in East Africa have not been developed, after all, the development of these rivers requires deep knowledge of astronomy and geography, and East Africa lacks professionals in this area.
For example, if a calculation error or technical substandard is not up to standard, it may cause the risk of bursting the embankment, so the reservoirs built in East Africa are mainly small and medium-sized reservoirs, even if the loss is not very large, and it can be corrected in time.
……
Hengshui.
Yangjia Village.
"Fugui'er, these children will be handed over to you, these are orphans in the village, they are poor people, you must take care of them!"
"Uncle Yang, don't worry! I don't know who I am, but I used to be the number one honest person in the village. Yang Fugui said happily to the third uncle.
"Hehe, honest man. If you were really honest, you wouldn't have gone to East Africa, but I've heard that it's the world of foreigners, you see you, you don't even have braids, and fortunately you are on an errand for foreigners, otherwise you would have been dragged to beheaded. ”
"Uncle Yang, I don't like to hear this, what kind of foreigners are in the world, we are citizens of the East African Kingdom, do you know what citizens mean? That is a part of the East African Kingdom, and it is the same as that you are the people of the Great Qing Kingdom. ”
"It's all the same, it's all the same, isn't it just a change of place to make a living, how spirited you can be, it's not that you're being managed by a foreign master."
"That's a big difference, we Germans are overseas, and the status is not bad, just like this Qing Dynasty, when ordinary people see me dressed like this, they have to be polite, that is, you are my third uncle, which of the others dares to pose in front of me like this."
Yang Fugui is a typical "villain" ambition, but this is not difficult to understand, it does not appear at all in East Africa, but it is all manifested in the Far East, after all, East Africa is all immigrants, and all nobles are equal.
And there are also a number of nobles in East Africa, but Ernst has always been strictly controlled, so far there are only a few hundred, and it is more like an honorary title, but the social status obtained by becoming a nobleman is quite high, most of the East African nobles are from the army and the Heshingen consortium, or talents who serve East Africa, such as Count Yarman, Count Felix, and Count Justt are all from the army...... Benz, Lenois, Mauser brothers and other scientists and inventors also bear the title of East Africa.
In addition to this new feudal aristocracy in East Africa, there is also a kind of traditional aristocracy, the Hexingen Kingdom used to be an independent country, in addition to the Ernst father and son, there are also some nobles who serve the Hexingen royal family, the characteristic of this kind of aristocracy is that they are recognized in East Africa, and at the same time in Germany, the gold content is a little higher, provided that it is at the same level.
However, it is not easy for these veteran nobles who follow the Hexingen royal family to climb up, because when the Heixingen pro-kingdom was merged into Prussia, many capable people have actually followed Prussia for a long time, and many of those who have been following the Hexingen royal family are mediocre talents, and many are not willing to go to East Africa to suffer and stay in Germany to live a mixed life.
Of course, the East African law states that East Africa is a country where all people are equal, and does not emphasize the distinction between nobles and commoners, but the existence of the aristocracy is a tacit acquiescence.
"I won't tell you this, I'm going to ask you clearly, after these little guys go to East Africa, how will your East African kingdom be arranged, isn't it the heart-digging and liver-digging that some people preach!"
Uncle Yang's words. Let a few seven or eight-year-old children next to him feel trembling in their hearts.
"Uncle Yang, don't listen to those people's nonsense, I have already told you what East Africa is like, it is simply a paradise, our king is kind-hearted, so he gave these children a chance to study in East Africa."
"Hehe, you see if I believe it or not, the sky is as dark as a crow, and foreign emperors are rushing to take care of you outsiders, how can there be such a good thing in the world."
"If you want me to say that you are always too stubborn, you had to listen to me at the beginning, how good it would be to let those people in the village go to East Africa, you see my food and clothing, every day is the same as the New Year."
"Well, when you say that, I suddenly remembered, didn't you always recruit people before? Why is it that now you suddenly don't recruit and instead look for some orphans? ”
Yang Fugui: "Hehe, uncle, it's late now, the threshold for recruiting people in East Africa has been raised, and I heard that many big ships running routes have been withdrawn." ”
Immigration has always been a big expense in East Africa, and after the population potential of the German region was drained, the recruitment of people in other regions was relaxed, and many of the transformations in East Africa began to serve the commercial interests of East Africa.
"By the way, you haven't said how these little ones are arranged! And what do you mean by further study? ”
"I don't know much about the twists and turns in this, after all, you also know that I don't have any ink in my stomach, even if I can only speak and write German, I am still illiterate in East Africa, but according to the superiors, these children will be sent to school when they arrive in East Africa, let them study, and serve East Africa in the future."
In the past, it was easy to understand that East Africa did not recruit orphans in the Far East, because East Africa was also poor in the past, and it was more necessary for young people to go to East Africa to open up wasteland and create value immediately, after all, East Africa is not a nursery, but a colony.
Now that the population of East Africa has risen, land development has been done very well, and with it, the East African government has increased its fiscal revenue, and now that the demand for immigrants has declined, it has the ability to support orphans.
There are so many orphans in one Germany that the schools of the Heixingen Kingdom cannot fit at all, and there are countless in the Far East.
"School?" This is once again beyond the scope of Uncle Yang's cognition.
"You can understand it as a private school, that is, those who take the test to show off their talents."
"Could it be that this East Africa still wants these dolls to be officials in the future?"
"That's a lot of thinking, schools in East Africa are a very common thing, children can go to school, and my three dolls are going to school!"
"What's the benefit? And you can't take the imperial examination. ”
"I don't know, but it's always a good thing to read! And in East Africa, this book is still a must, and if you don't let your child read it, you will go to jail. ”
"Isn't this just forcing children to read?"
"It's this reason, but I heard from a colleague from Europe say that it is also done in their hometown, called compulsory education, all dolls must go to school, otherwise they will be fined, otherwise they will go to jail, we in East Africa are in one step, there is no such thing as fines, do not let the dolls study, and go to prison directly."
Yang Fugui doesn't know what the use of reading is, at least in East Africa, he can't see what the use is, but it is very meaningful to be able to read and read overseas, as a citizen of East Africa, what Yang Fugui said is overseas, that is, countries outside East Africa, and the Far Eastern Empire is also among them.
"Anyway, Uncle Yang, don't worry, no matter how bad these little guys are in East Africa, they are better than here."
"Alas, that's what I'm saying, our village has limited capacity, and we can't support them, so let them follow you out to break through, maybe it's a way to live."
