Capital Datang

Chapter 526 The Achievements of Sinicization

Jincheng was built in imitation of Chang'an, so there is nothing to see in the landscape.After Li Zhi and the others entered Jincheng, they lived in the original Silla palace, but now this palace has been changed into the governor's mansion, and Li You's family also lived here, but Li You avoided Li Zhi and the others. No, just asked his wife Wei Shi to go out of the city to greet her, and then hosted a banquet in the mansion.

Li Zhi's avoidance of seeing Li You was originally expected by Li Zhi, and he didn't want to see Li You in the first place. After all, when they were in Chang'an, the relationship between their brothers was not very good. , Li Yin, Li Zhen and others all have a bad relationship with Li You, and now the identities of the two are very special, so it is good to see each other, so as not to embarrass everyone.

Speaking of Li You, as the governor of North Korea and China, in terms of duties, it can be said that the military and political power has been grasped, but the reason why Li Yin asked Li You to be the governor at the beginning was nothing more than to use his name to stabilize the hearts of the people of these three Koreas. Therefore, his title of governor is not worthy of his name, and he doesn't have much power. The political affairs of the two states are all in the charge of their respective governors. As for the military, Li You can't "get in" even more.

After the three of Li Zhi rested in the Governor's Mansion for one night, accompanied by Lu Hong the next day, they visited the textile factories and food processing factories around Jincheng.Out of precaution against the three Koreans, North Korea and China and South Korea do not have any heavy industry at all. The main economic pillar is agriculture, and there are also textile and food processing factories.

Among them, the textile industry is mainly the "wool" textile industry, and the wool "wool" mainly comes from Andong Duhufu in the west of Samhan. There are large pastures everywhere, and a large number of cattle and sheep are produced every year.Most of the "wool" produced is sent to North Korea and China and South Korea, and the textile factories here spin fine woolen cloth or blankets.Then sell to Datang and overseas, but it is worth mentioning.Although the workers in the textile factory are all Sanhan people, the bosses behind them are mostly Han people.Capital Datang 526

In addition to the "wool" textile industry, the food processing industry is the second largest light industry in North Korea and China. In addition, there are some crops produced in the two states, and some of them will also be sold in cans, but the largest sales volume is still canned meat.

When Li Zhi was traveling in the Tang Dynasty.I have been to Taiyuan once, and I saw a wool textile factory there. I know that the most troublesome thing about this kind of factory is not spinning, but the cleaning of wool, which requires a special cleaning agent. The water smells very choking, and during the cleaning process, the water temperature must be controlled and stirred constantly.It can be said that it is very troublesome.

"Bah~ bah~, it stinks!" Before entering the factory to be visited, Sizi couldn't take it anymore, holding her nose, and Cai'er next to her also frowned.This is the southeast corner of Jincheng.There is a government-run "wool" textile factory, and the three Koreans employed in the factory are at least third-class aliens, and they speak Chinese very fluently.It will not affect the communication, so it was chosen by Lu Hong as the target of the visit.

"I told you a long time ago not to come. But you just didn't listen, and you're suffering now!" Li Zhi gloated after hearing this.When I was in Taiyuan.They just came out not long ago, and everything Sizi saw was fresh. When he came to the big city of Taiyuan, he was naturally anxious to play, so he didn't go with Li Zhi, and naturally he couldn't stand the smell of wool when it was washed.

"Hmph, what's the big deal, isn't it just the smell? Ninth Brother, you can bear it, so can Sizi!" Sizi said stubbornly, covering his mouth and nose.

"Hehe, you brothers and sisters shouldn't be arguing, Mr. Lu must have been prepared long ago, and won't let us just go inside like this!" At this moment, Cai'er suddenly smiled and said.

As a result, Li Zhi and Si Zi also found that Lu Hong asked someone to deliver a plate of food with a smile on his face, and then said to the three of them: "Your Highness, this is a mask prepared by Weichen, which can temporarily block the smell!"

As Lu Hong said, he reached out and picked up a mask from the plate, and put it on his face. Li Zhi, Si Zi, and Cai'er also followed suit, picking up a mask and putting it on their faces, but they soon discovered that The mask exudes a strong vinegar smell, just enough to keep them from smelling the bad smell outside.

A few people wearing masks entered the textile workshop of the factory, and they were full of busy female textile workers. These female workers were all local Sanhan women. Back then, the Sanhan people lost a large number of young and strong men because of the war. Few families could not afford to eat. Fortunately, Li Yin had people open these factories and let these women trade their work for food. Finally, there was no major famine.

Li Zhi went into the textile workshop and found that the so-called largest textile factory in China and South Korea still uses water power, unlike the textile factories in Datang or Dengzhou, which already use a large number of steam engines as power.However, compared with Datang and Dengzhou, this place has an advantage, that is, manpower is cheap and there are enough people, so although the production efficiency here is not very high, the output is not low.

In addition, during the visit, Li Zhi also discovered an interesting phenomenon, that is, Chinese is used in the entire factory, and regardless of the type of work, workers can speak Chinese well, especially some managers, their Chinese is even better. Much more fluent than ordinary workers.

Regarding this phenomenon, Li Zhi also specifically asked Lu Hong for advice, but Lu Hong told him with a smile that this is the result of the promotion of Sinicization. Jincheng, as the capital of the original Silla, was greatly influenced by Han culture. The original aristocratic class in the city valued speaking Chinese, and even some ordinary people had Chinese proficiency.

It is precisely because of such a good foundation that when the Qi Wang Mansion formulated a strategy to promote Sinicization, Samhan was the area where Sinicization went smoothly, and Jincheng was the place where Sanhan was most Sinicized.For example, taking this factory as an example, all the workers in the factory are at least third-class aliens, and their mastery of Chinese has reached the level of listening and speaking. More than a hundred Chinese characters, and know some simple arithmetic, and even among the higher-level managers, there are first-level aliens.

Don’t underestimate the division of alien races. Each level is linked to the salary of each person. For example, take the third-level alien race as an example. When they do weaving work, their salary is the average wage of Tang Han textile workers. One-third of the foreign race, and the fourth-level foreign race can only get a quarter, but if the second-level foreign race can get half, as for the first-level foreign race, they generally do not know how to do textile work, at least they can Will become a factory manager and get a higher salary.

In addition to different wages and benefits, foreigners at all levels also have various differential treatments in work and life. It is precisely because of this that these three Koreans are learning Chinese desperately, and they usually wear Hanfu , Changed the Han surname, regarded himself as a Han, and worked hard to improve his level.

In addition, there is news that the Qi Palace is drawing up a regulation, that is, if two first-class aliens get married and have children, then one of their children can be selected to become a Han nationality.This regulation is an incomparable temptation for all aliens, because no matter how high the aliens are, they cannot compare with the real Han, so they all want to become Han in their dreams.

After hearing Lu Hong's explanation, Li Zhi was also amazed at the degree of Sinicization here in Sanhan, and at the same time had a deep understanding of the assimilation of foreign races. He also vaguely seemed to catch something in his mind, but it was just a thought in his mind Too many, you have to find some time to calm down and think about it.

In addition, Li Zhi also discovered that after the sewage from washing wool from the textile factory was discharged into the nearby river, it dyed a very clear river brown and black, and the farmland downstream did not dare to use this kind of water to irrigate. Farmland is even more undrinkable.Seeing this situation, Li Zhi couldn't help feeling a little bit. No wonder the "wool" textile factories in Taiyuan were built on sparsely populated wasteland, and heavy taxes were imposed. It is probably because of this pollution.

However, the "wool" textile factories on Jincheng's side are built indiscriminately, and there are a lot of polluted rivers. It seems that Sixth Brother still doesn't care about Sanhan's side, otherwise he won't pollute the huge "Wool" textile factories are all located here.Capital Datang 526

After visiting the textile factory, Li Zhi visited the food processing factory next to it. This is also a government-run factory, and the scale is also very large. The situation in the factory is similar to that of the textile factory, and all of them communicate in Chinese. The quality of the workers is also the same, but the work they do is different.In addition, compared with the "wool" textile factory, the current food processing factory does not cause much pollution. At most, some oil pollution is discharged into the river.

The visit to these two factories gave Li Zhi a deep understanding of the achievements of Sinicization.This is also a great inspiration to him. The current Tang Dynasty has annexed the northern grasslands, and also occupied the vast areas of the Western Regions, but these two places are still not peaceful. Tuyuhun in the south has been occupied long ago, but Still can't fully melt into Datang.

Originally, neither Li Shimin nor Li Zhi had a good solution to the above-mentioned matters, but could only strengthen the control of force, but what he saw in Jincheng today has opened a window for Li Zhi, and he is very concerned about solving the above-mentioned problems. Already had a hazy idea of ​​the problem.

But Lu Hong looked at Li Zhi who was thinking hard on the carriage, but there was a smile on his face. Others thought that Li Zhi could become the prince of Tang Dynasty only because of his good luck, but after this period of jiēchu, However, Lu Hong has keenly discovered that Li Zhi is definitely a qualified heir to the throne.

And in order to make Li Zhi's experience more profound, Lu Hong then took Li Zhi to a very important place in Jincheng. (to be continued...)
