Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 688 I’m the best at doing stupid things (second update, please subscribe)

When it comes to Malaya, Li Yi'an even has some doubts about life - where are those British Empire bureaucrats who were so proficient in balancing?

Attlee is a fool.

But the question is, what about those imperial civil servants in the British Empire?

What about those imperial civil servants who regard themselves as the imperial elite and can steadily control the country no matter who the prime minister is?
Where have they gone?
Don't they know what balance is and what constraints are?
In response to Li Yian's complaints, King George VI did not speak. He just silently took out his cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and then motioned for Li Yian to continue.

"Since returning to Malaya, Britain has been walking on the edge of losing control, and its political system has been very biased towards the Malays from the beginning. Hugh Clifford, the British High Commissioner to Malaya, even reminded the British administrators , they were in Malaya at the invitation of the Malay Sultan and therefore served the Sultan there, while the Tangs and Indians were temporary immigrants brought by the British for commercial reasons..."

This is the typical mentality of the British. Not to mention favoring Tang immigrants, they don't even bother to ask about the Tang people.

Li Yian continued.

"In order to minimize the operating costs of Malaya, the colonial authorities tended to allow the "temporary" Chinese communities a great deal of autonomy in various internal affairs, including internal policing - the colonial authorities allowed gangs to organize parties in their respective areas policed, but with the understanding that these gangs will not operate outside these areas, breaching which they may bring UK law into, and to some extent this is the model of policing in Chinatowns in the UK and US, Probably to this day.”

"In terms of education, the reason why the colonial authorities allowed a Chinese-medium, community-funded education system was because they themselves did not bear any costs. The language of instruction was still Chinese and the curriculum was in Chinese because it was designed to educate those Those who will eventually "return to Tangshan" only in middle school, English is the language of instruction, the curriculum is British, and the ultimate goal of the students is to prepare for studying in Cambridge, but such people are very few. Their existence is only to serve as a communication channel between the British and the Tang people.”

"There's something really wrong with that."

"But you have to know that Alide is a typical politician. He did not let you enter Malaya just to let you get involved in Malaya. He must have some agenda, and there may even be some conspiracy."

He knew the answer without asking. George VI took a puff of cigarette and did not speak.

In another world, even a brief look at what the British Empire did after World War II would make people doubt - was this something done by the British Empire that had held world hegemony for more than 100 years?

At this time, Li Yian didn't even bother to complain about the short-sightedness of the British. Did those guys make such stupid decisions because their heads were kicked by donkeys?
The mood is similar, they might actually get kicked in the head by a donkey. You must know that if you look at what Britain did after World War II, it is basically the kind of thing that even if you get kicked in the head by a donkey, you may not be able to do it.

"In terms of social security, the social safety net of the Tang community is provided by the Tang clan system and industry associations. The colonial authorities also did not pay any price. In other words, the colonial authorities did not pay anything to the Tang people at all, but they What did you get?"

It doesn't matter whether it is a hidden danger or not. What is important is that the British people think it is a hidden danger. This is the most important thing.

"At least we cannot let the Malay family dominate."

Although he did not deal with government affairs, George VI also knew what all this meant. How did they do this stupid thing of only supporting one party and suppressing the other?
"It's not a problem, but a hidden danger. After the British chose the Malays, will it cause a dominant Malay family, and will Malaya fall into chaos in the future? If Malaya falls into chaos, then they What kind of relationship will it maintain with the UK? Will the dominant Malays care about the UK?"

After that, he turned to look at Li Yian and said.

Listening to Li Yian's rhetorical question, King George VI asked.

Facing the reminder from his father-in-law, Li Yian smiled and said.

Nodding slightly, King George VI said.

"We have a prosperous Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Malacca. These places were all built by Tang people without exception, and they are dominated by Tang people. 95% of the population in Singapore is Tang people, 85% of the population in Kuala Lumpur, and Penang. , the Tang people in Malacca are also above 80%, but what about now..."

"It seems you are indeed ready to intervene in Malaya!"

After listening to Li Yian's rhetorical question, King George VI thought for a while and said.

Li Yian sneered.

"What did Britain gain?"

"The authorities claim that Tang people are temporary immigrants, so they should expel all the more than five million Tang people. Is this realistic?"

"So, it means we need balance?"

"And what are the authorities in the Federation doing now? They are trying their best to please the Malays. From the perspective of the Federation, the proportion of the Malay population is far less than that of the Tang people. The proportion of the population of the Tang people is more than 45%, while the Malays are only 44%. If Including Singapore, then the Tang people will account for about 70% of the entire region. Your Majesty, how can you make the Malayan Commissioner choose to support the Malays and abandon an ethnic group that accounts for the majority of the population? "

"I know, thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty."

If you want to eat meat, sometimes...you do need to take some risks!

"Sometimes, some risks are unavoidable. Rather than being unavoidable, it's better to take some risks!"

"What's the risk?"

Just at this moment, a voice came over, it was Princess Elizabeth, and Princess Margaret behind her heard their conversation from a distance.

"He's a guy who doesn't want to settle down."

Margaret looked at her sister, Princess Elizabeth, and said.

“Always adventurous.”

"A quiet life is always extremely boring."

Princess Elizabeth winked at her sister. In fact, she was very jealous of her sister because of her courage and the adventures she had taken. She even imagined what would happen if she were in her place.

She was full of anticipation and nervousness for such an adventure. These two feelings could easily make people suffocate with excitement, but she couldn't!
After all, she is the Crown Prince of the United Kingdom, and her identity and status determine that she cannot take risks!

It’s so irritating!

"Lily, Mary," Li Yian laughed as he looked at the sisters walking over.

Every time he sees Elizabeth, Li Yian has only one wish in his heart - if he could have a long standby like her!

"It's not an adventure, it's just an attempt."

Li Yian said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm not interested in what you talked to His Majesty, but..."

Elizabeth looked directly at the man in front of her as if no one else was watching and said,

"What kind of gifts did you bring? Mary said you prepared a lot of gifts."

Looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess who was asking for gifts like a little girl in front of her, Li Yian smiled.

"You will definitely be satisfied. If you are not satisfied, then...well, I will prepare more gifts next time."

Li Yian, who originally wanted to take advantage of his words, realized that his father was still there as soon as he said the words.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will go to Chang'an to pick it up myself."

Princess Elizabeth said as she walked toward George VI.

"Honey!"

Princess Margaret waited until the two of them left, then walked to him and spoke softly.

"That worker has been waiting for your arrival."

"Um,"

Li Yian said with a slight nod.

"I know, but before meeting him, I want to meet another person first."

"Another person?"

Princess Margaret was stunned and said in surprise.

"Is there anyone more important than him?"

"certainly,"

When Li Yian nodded, he only heard Elizabeth standing in front say.

"Mary, he is going to see Fatty Qiu."

Li Yian was stunned by Elizabeth's words.

This woman... deserves to be the king who has been waiting for the longest time in the future. She can actually make this judgment from a few simple sentences.

Really...

At Windsor Castle that day, Li Yian accompanied his family and enjoyed the snow scene here with his children. For the children who had never seen snow before, the scenery of this ice and snow kingdom was enough to make them cheer.

Facing the long-lost snowflakes, Li Yi'an, who was also very happy, became like a child. I happily played in the snow with the children.

Looking at Li Yi'an, Margaret, and the children playing in the snow, Elizabeth's mood became a little complicated, and her eyes followed them involuntarily.

At this moment, a snowball suddenly hit her, and Mary said.

"Lily, let's have a snowball fight together."

Soon, there was laughter in Windsor Castle, and Elizabeth also started playing with them. As for Philip, he was watching from a distance. It seemed that all this had nothing to do with him. In fact, compared to what happened in Windsor, Castle, he now preferred to return to London.

After all, London is where he likes to be.

After playing happily with everyone for a long time, just before dinner, Li Yian received a telegram from Chang'an.

After glancing at the telegram, he put it in his pocket. Margaret noticed his move and walked up to him and asked,

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"fine."

Li Yian shook his head and said.

"Mindanao is ours."

When he said these words, the corners of his mouth raised, with a proud look on his face, and his eyes involuntarily turned to another place, but inadvertently passed over Elizabeth's body...
