Chapter 1002 Founding Celebration (2)

The income source of the storyteller's business is not the salary from the teahouse, but the rewards given by the tea guests after each passage of the book is finished. If the book is well told, the audience will be happy to listen, and the rewards will naturally be more. Come here specially.

When more people listen to the book, you can negotiate terms with the teahouse, and the reward income does not need to be divided with the teahouse. However, this small teahouse is located in a port area, and most of its customers are low-income people, so the rewards are not really generous.

Just barely able to make ends meet.

However, in the process of reading the newspaper today, there were a lot of contents that the storyteller didn’t quite understand. Normally, he would have covered them all with a few nonsense words, but this issue of the newspaper was full of content related to the founding of Haihan. Mr. Storyteller

He knew that the nature of state affairs was important and did not dare to talk nonsense at all. However, his knowledge was limited. Whenever someone below mentioned something about foreign affairs, he would be stuck and unable to answer. The tea guests were not very satisfied with what they heard, and the rewards were sparse.

There wasn’t much money. The storyteller saw the reward that the guy helped collect, and he secretly regretted that he was usually too stingy. If he could sign up for a publicity professional training class to improve his theoretical level, he would be able to answer questions fluently at this time, so he could get more rewards.

If you reward me, won’t you earn back your tuition fees quickly?

Compared with storytellers with limited knowledge, street commentators who do not require the audience to spend money are of higher quality. These commentators are all from the official propaganda department and have received targeted training in advance and are prepared for the situations they may encounter.

The questions were all prepared, and the theoretical knowledge must have been greatly exceeded. However, the comfort level of standing on the street and listening to the lecture was naturally not as comfortable as sitting in a teahouse, drinking tea and eating snacks.

Of course, the most comfortable thing is to sit at home and slowly read the contents of the newspaper by yourself. Anyone with a little wealth must have bought the newspaper by himself, and will not go to teahouses or streets to listen to hearsay.

Most of those who relied on Haihan to make their fortune have developed the habit of only believing in the official statement. If they cannot understand the official's true intentions from the contents of the newspapers, then they will also use their personal relationships to obtain the official explanation.

Zhang Tiangui is one of these upper-class people. As a senior cadre of Shengli Port Shipyard, he got this newspaper at least an hour earlier than the storyteller in the small teahouse. He was able to read it immediately.

The latest official newspaper was published, which was probably a small advantage within the system. The only ones who had higher priority than him were the chiefs in Victory Fort.

However, although Zhang Tiangui is an expert in the shipbuilding industry, like most old craftsmen, his cultural level is an irreparable shortcoming. The letters in this newspaper are printed relatively small, and it is very difficult for Zhang Tiangui to read. Since his youngest son

After Zhang Qianzhi returned to Sanya, he took over the job of reading newspapers. If Zhang Tiangui didn't understand something clearly, he would stop asking.

Zhang Tiangui's five sons, the youngest son Zhang Qianzhi is the most educated. Zhang Qianzhi has a deeper understanding of the executive committee's governing philosophy and some related policies than ordinary people, so he can give Zhang Tiangui a well-founded analysis.

Ichiban.

After listening to the memorandum of the Executive Committee on the front page, Zhang Tiangui still had no problem. After all, the founding of the People's Republic of China was not mentioned only in the past few days. From the day Haihan occupied Hainan Island, Zhang Tiangui vaguely estimated that this area was no longer there. Maybe it was back to the Ming Dynasty, and he had already acquiesced in Haihan's existence as a state power. However, after hearing Zhang Qianzhi read congratulatory messages from all directions later, he had some thoughts in his mind.

"Young man, please stop first. I have a question." Zhang Tiangui put down the tea cup in his hand and asked Zhang Qianzhi: "Now that Haihan has established a country, you can say that big countries like Ming and Annan are just that. Those who occupy cities , small countries like Aceh and Johor, why not directly send troops to occupy them, and why spend energy on establishing diplomatic relations?"

Zhang Qianzhi responded: "From a military point of view, it is easy for our country, Haihan, to defeat these small countries. Let alone us doing it ourselves, even the Portuguese or the Dutch can do it with a little more effort. But from a military point of view, Defeating your opponents and directly ruling these areas are two different things. To completely eliminate the original regimes in these countries cannot be accomplished in three to five months. The investment in manpower and material resources required to re-establish the ruling institutions is even greater. It is impossible to do it. Leaders are never eager to take action on matters of great direct benefit."

Zhang Tiangui said: "This is the truth, but from my father's point of view, these small countries are a future trouble after all. If Haihan doesn't occupy it, how can the blond and blue-eyed Fangui be as generous as Haihan? If they use force to occupy the land, So how should we deal with it?”

Zhang Qianzhi explained: "The leaders planned to form the South China Sea Trade Alliance, and the actual purpose was to restrict the behavior of other countries. Although it is called a trade alliance, it also has a defense agreement similar to a military alliance. If the contracting countries are attacked by other countries, In the event of an armed invasion, the Allies have the obligation to send troops to intervene. If the Western countries want to start a war of national annihilation in the South China Sea, Haihan can stop it at any time. People like Portugal and the Netherlands have suffered defeats at the hands of Haihan , fearing that the Haihan army will go south and occupy their colonies, will it easily give our country an excuse to send troops again?"

Zhang Tiangui said: "Having said that, I still feel that there is something wrong in not bringing these places under the rule of Haihan."

Zhang Qianzhi smiled and said: "The world is so big, how can the whole world be brought under the rule of one country? The child has also asked the chiefs before whether there will be a time when Haihan will unify the world in the future, but the chiefs who heard this question laughed it off and said He didn’t answer. Only once did Chief Ning get anxious when asked by a child, and he responded that if there was a way to reach anywhere in the world instantly in the future, world unification might be possible.”

Zhang Tiangui frowned and said, "What do you mean, Chief Ning?"

Zhang Qianzhi responded: "What Chief Ning means is that today's transportation conditions are limited. Travel to overseas places is often measured in months, and the countries where Westerners belong to require years of sailing to reach. The world is like this Even if the Haihan army conquers land thousands of miles away, how can it achieve stable rule?"

Although Zhang Tiangui has no education, he is not an unreasonable person. After listening to his son's explanation, he thought about it and found that this is indeed what happened. Thinking that the capital of the Ming Dynasty is only a few thousand miles away from Sanya, Emperor Chongzhen had already known what happened here. Nothing was known about what happened tens of thousands of miles away. It would take a year or two to know what happened tens of thousands of miles away. Although the leaders of Haihan had great eyes and hands, they were unable to govern such distant places.

Zhang Qianzhi continued: "The intention of the Executive Committee is to form an international alliance led by Haihan. Ordinary countries will sign a trade alliance, and close countries will add a military alliance. What Haihan needs is not land.

It's about production resources and sales markets. These two things can't be obtained by destroying other countries. The leaders have their own magic methods. Countries like Ming Dynasty and Annan are also used by our Haihan. Naturally, other small countries follow the same method and can easily capture them. Now our Haihan

The prosperous Han civilization continued to slowly attract elites from other countries to Haihan. Even if those small countries had the intention, they did not have enough ability to cause trouble."

Zhang Tiangui said: "Even so, if they are not of my race, their minds must be different. These Western and Nanyang people are of Han blood, but those other overseas alien races need to be more careful.

"

Zhang Qianzhi smiled and said: "According to what my father said, Chief Schneider, Chief Morgan, and Chief Johnson of our country of Haihan, aren't these people also considered overseas aliens?"

Zhang Tiangui said in shock: "You kid, how can you make arrogant comments about the leader's background? If someone listens to it, my Zhang family will be in danger!"

Zhang Qianzhi, on the other hand, looked calm: "What is a Haihan person? I have already asked the chief about this, and he replied, Haihan people, regardless of their origin and race, respect our Haihan culture, abide by our Haihan laws, and are loyal to our Haihan regime.

If you take our Haihan nationality, you will become a Haihan citizen. Although the leaders I mentioned just now were born in foreign countries, they are genuine and undisputed Haihan people. It is said that there have been black people on Amborna Island in the South China Sea for a long time.

Persians, Siamese, etc. immigrated to Han nationality. There is no fixed relationship between nationality and race, so my father does not need to be nervous about this."

Zhang Tiangui waved his hand and said: "I don't understand the policies of the court, and I won't discuss them. Although you are a popular person in front of the chief, you must not be proud, complacent or arrogant. The wealth and future of the Zhang family belongs to the chief.

If you have something wrong with your mind, the leaders will naturally raise their hands and take it back. From top to bottom of the Zhang family, you are the most promising, and most of the future wealth of the Zhang family will fall on you.

, you need to be more careful in your daily words and deeds."

Zhang Qianzhi saw that the old man's tone was cautious and knew that this was not a joke, so he quickly bowed and said yes. He was already very talented, and he had to be taught by words and deeds by the time-travelers for several years. His consciousness and vision were far beyond those of ordinary people at the same time, and his ideas

Naturally, he is much more lively than his old father who only knows how to build ships. But Zhang Tiangui is an honest man, he is pragmatic in everything, and he does not have as many ideas as young people. Although the father and son are both on duty in Haihan, their views on the situation

There is a clear difference between it and the goal I set.

Similar ideological differences exist not only between nationals and non-citizens, but also between naturalized citizens like the Zhang family and his son who have been naturalized for many years, the older generation and young people who have received Haihan education.

differences. After the publication of this issue of "Haihan Times", the most discussed issue among the people is not whether Haihan should establish a country, but how the lives of ordinary people will be affected after the development from Haihan to Haihan State.

.

New immigrants living at the bottom of society, manual workers, etc. are most concerned about the threshold for naturalization. The original intention of these people coming to Haihan is to ask for a bowl of food. After coming, they found that the benefits of naturalization will be better.

, but there is a threshold that is neither high nor low, and it will take a long time to cross it. To these people, it is irrelevant whether the founding of Haihan has a good or bad impact on other countries. Whether it can be achieved in a short time

Improving their living conditions is the most important thing.

As for senior naturalized citizens who have obtained Haihan nationality, or are "national workers" like the Zhang family and his son, the level of concern is higher. These people have stable jobs and income.

and living conditions, they are also more sensitive to changes in political trends than the people at the bottom. They will judge from a more rational perspective the impact on their position after the founding of Haihan, whether they will have the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, or they will face the

In fiercer competition, everyone will have different opinions. Most people can only have a rough look at the methods involved, and few can consider deeper things, such as the issues related to international relations raised by Zhang Tiangui.

This is already considered a very high level of vision.

Of course, even a young man like Zhang Qianzhi, whose thoughts and ideas are very close to those of time travellers, cannot fully understand the intention of the executive committee. Most of the explanations he gave to his father were heard from the mouths of the chiefs.

Part of it is his own understanding. Zhang Tiangui's understanding of Haihan's policies and strategies in dealing with international relations is actually relatively limited. This is not because the time traveler has reservations about him, but because of Zhang Qianzhi's level.

If you are not high enough, you can see that the information you have access to is relatively limited, and naturally it is difficult to fully understand the decision of the executive committee.

It was not only the local people who studied the contents of the Times this evening, but almost all the dignitaries from various countries who came to watch the ceremony had a copy. Even Van Diemen and others who could not understand Chinese characters specially asked the staff of the Guest House to ask for them.

He bought a newspaper - with Su Keyi, a translator who was proficient in Chinese, by his side, there was no big obstacle in interpreting the contents of the newspaper.

What Van Diemen is concerned about is not what the Haihan Executive Committee informed the people. He has no control over those things and is not interested in spending too much time to understand them. He is more concerned about the opinions of the parties participating in the ceremony on the founding of Haihan.

This is the attitude shown by Haihan in order to infer the international situation that Haihan will face in the future. This job is not easy to say, but it is not difficult to say that it is difficult. The newspaper contains congratulatory letters from various countries and parties. How can it be done?

It reflects the attitude of the country concerned towards this matter.

For example, in a country like Annan, which almost wears the same pants as Haihan, the congratulatory letters published in newspapers are full of enthusiasm, and every line reveals the Annan court's reliance on Haihan. Although the King of Qingdu himself did not come to Sanya, he sent him

The heir to the throne, Zheng Zha, came to attend, which can be regarded as giving Haihan enough face. As for countries like Aceh and Johor, they have no direct relationship with Haihan. They only started official exchanges in the second half of last year. This congratulation seems to be much more polite, most of the time.

It is the official rhetoric that they hope that the two countries will always maintain peace, non-aggression against each other, and do more business and less fighting.
