mission!

Every generation has its own calling.

What is my mission?
"I must study politics and war so that my sons will have the freedom to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, shipbuilding, navigation, commerce and agriculture, and their children will study painting, poetry, music, architecture, rights in sculpture, weaving and ceramics."

Staring at the city of Quito outside the window, Zhu Youbo silently chanted this famous quote from John Adams in his heart. Although he is the second president of the United States, his father admired some of his views very much.

In fact, the mind of being inclusive of all rivers is the reason why the empire can catch up from behind.When I was young, my father had specifically explained the meaning of this sentence. According to my father's explanation, this is the theory of the hierarchy of needs. Only when you reach this level can you have the energy to go up to the next level, and so on.Even this is the reason why my father respected this sentence.

"Each generation has a mission that each generation needs to fulfill."

Frowning tightly, Zhu Youbai was a little confused now.

"Where is my mission?"

As the king of Ecuador, he is so confused because until now, he has not figured out his position.

Am I first generation, or second generation?
The reason Zhu Youbo came up with such an idea was because of the special national conditions of Ecuador—he was the king invited by the Ecuadorians, and after being crowned king, he has been committed to the development of the kingdom.

In addition to carrying out the massive land reform, his Daxing base construction attracted imperial investment. In just two years, Ecuador's industrial and commercial economy has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Logically speaking, as a king, he should be more pleased, but in reality?
There were other thoughts in his mind.

What kind of country should Ecuador be in the future?
Is it Ecuador?
Or China's Ecuador?
The answer is obvious, China's Ecuador is Zhu Youbai's goal.

If this goal is to be achieved, it means that he has to do something - to devote himself to the Chineseization of the country.

And this is what his generation must accomplish.

"I want to hand over a Chineseized country to my children."

Just when Zhu Youbo expressed his idea to Yuan Tianxi, the Assistant Minister of the Executive Yuan, he never thought that he would immediately oppose it.

"Your Majesty, what we need is to change this country through the wind and rain, moistening things silently, not through radical coercive means."

As an associate minister, Yuan Tianxi was once the Chief of Affairs of Lu Wangfu, that is, the general manager of the palace. With his assistance, Zhu Youbai had already helped Zhu Youbai to establish an administrative team before he came to Ecuador to be crowned. Become puppets, of course, with the support of the empire, it is impossible for them to become puppets.

But it is better to have people of your own who control some of the government's key points than not to have people of your own.

"What is radical coercive means?"

Zhu Youbo said directly.

"It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to cultivate people. What's wrong with setting up Mandarin classes in schools? Isn't this the policy that the empire has implemented for many years? How many people in Shanxi can't speak Mandarin? Many children The mandarin he speaks is more standard than that of many new immigrants."

As the earliest area conquered by the empire, Shanxi has been completely Chineseized. Many non-Chinese children can't even speak Spanish or indigenous languages. Mandarin is the only local language.

In Brazil, Peru, Bolivia and other places, compulsory national language education has also made great progress. It is precisely because of this that Zhu Youbo feels that a similar policy should be implemented in Ecuador.

"Your Majesty, the biggest difference here is... this is not an occupied area!"

Yuan Tianxi said directly.

"The reality we have to face is that the population of Ecuador is divided into two parts: those who support the kingdom, and those who support the political measures of establishing a republic to emulate the empire. Back then, only 35% of the total population supported the coronation of the king. Although the land reform has reached about 70% in two years, the latter still has a broad popular base. If we use compulsory measures to promote the national language, then we will inevitably encounter resistance from those people. When the Chinese population is not dominant, Our efforts are in vain. Of course..."

After a pause, looking at the king, Yuan Tianxi said.

"Unless we adopt the coercive measures adopted by the empire in the occupied areas, which means that we need to invest a large number of security forces to maintain law and order. At the same time, we also need to afford huge military expenditures. In Yuchen's view, this is obviously not worth the candle. after all……"

Yuan Tianxi said while taking out a report.

"Compared to mandatory, we should adopt the Cuban and Mexican methods, that is, through the introduction of immigrants, through marriage to complete the national integration of Ecuador. At present, Ecuador has only 110 million people, of which 8% are white, and 24% are European and Indian. Mixed blood, 50% are Indians, and 18% are Chinese. Although the proportion of Chinese immigrants seems small, 20 of the 16 Chinese immigrants are male immigrants in their prime of life. Up to now, there have been about 6 immigrants and local immigrants. Female intermarriage, at present, the population of Chinese families has exceeded 26.”

Why do many local women marry Chinese immigrants?

To put it bluntly, the economic base determines the superstructure—the income of Chinese immigrants is high. Their income is generally more than double that of local workers, and four or five times that of farmers. In this case, every Chinese man is a local woman. The meat and potatoes in the eyes.

In fact, this is also the reason why Indian women married whites one after another before the Chinese entered Latin America—even the poorest whites had higher political status and financial resources than ordinary Indians.

Women... are married.

"Whether their wives are European-Indian, Indian or white, this means that 6 non-Chinese have lost the opportunity to get married and have children. The Chinese population is increasing, and what we need The only way is to further increase the number of Chinese immigrants and at the same time increase the income of Chinese Americans.”

Yuan Tianxi was talking, handed the report in his hand to the king, and said.

"This is my suggestion. Considering the promotion effect of the current war on the kingdom's industrial and commercial economy, whether it is factory expansion or new construction, it will provide a large number of jobs. In order to ensure the overall image of Chinese as a high-income group, we must Increase the intensity of immigration from the country instead of giving jobs to those locals. Of course, if they can speak Mandarin, I think it may be easier to find a job..."

As a senior politician, Yuan Tianxi knows very well what should be used to induce those people to learn Mandarin, instead of forcing them to learn.Just like when the Spaniards occupied this land, they did not set up schools here, nor did they force the locals to learn Spanish, but the interests will drive the locals to learn.And this is not uncommon in other occupied areas of the empire.

But for Ecuador, what is needed here is not only local people learning the national language, but more importantly, integration. Only through integration can this country truly become a member of Zhuxia.
