But Hurd’s foundation could not be shaken. At this time, Zhu Jinglun paid attention to Hurd. He knew that Hurd had given birth to three children in recent years. Hurd was very kind to the children and hired a tutor for them. However, instead of hiring a western teacher like the British aristocrats, he hired a prestigious scholar, Wang Tao, a prestigious editor in the Hong Kong newspaper industry, to tell some children about Confucianism.
Hurd is actually training his generation in the way of China.
This is a joke in officialdom, but in Zhu Jinglun’s eyes, what he sees is an effort to be a China Hurd.
Zhu Jinglun doesn’t know why Hurd has become like this. In many conversations with him, he can still clearly feel that he is still a white man in his bones. But why should he behave like a China?
Zhu Jinglun is convinced that Hurd wants to be accepted by China people, including marrying China women and talking about China’s human feelings. He knows that he can’t fight against an official group alone. He needs to get along with these people, but he is already a servant in the province, and his position is comparable to that of the prime minister. He will fight back and supervise the officials. What does he want to do with others?
Zhu Jinglun thinks that he has found out Hurd’s mentality. Hurd is still not satisfied with his current position. He wants to go further than the prime minister, but after all, he is not the real prime minister. He also wants to really handle all national affairs in Chen Zhiting’s position as prime minister
Zhu Jinglun admitted that he knew what Hurd had changed because of his ambition and his own ambition.
This change in Hurd made Zhu Jinglun feel a little troublesome. Not to mention whether the big officials can accept it or not, Zhu Jinglun himself accepted it because he knew that the theory of everything changed the fact that Hurd was an Englishman.
This is the most glorious time of the British Empire. No matter where an Englishman is, they can’t give up their psychological identity with the British Empire. No matter what kind of success he has achieved, Hurd will always have the idea of returning to England in glory.
In history, although the Qing government gave Hurd a title of honour, it was the Queen of England who gave him that knighthood that made Hurd more satisfied.
Of course, it’s not impossible for Hurd to reach the level of prime minister. In fact, the official position has lost his personal ability. The only reason for Hurd can be to see if Hurd can bring enough benefits to the country.
Chen Zhiting was made prime minister because of the background represented by Chen Zhiting, who was the representative of the gentry class in Xin ‘an County, where Zhu Jinglun started. Being prime minister can make a large number of scholar-officials return home.
Then let Hurd be prime minister unless the British empire behind him can give him enough benefits
However, at present, it is still a very small weight in the diplomatic map of the British Empire, which is not comparable to the British colony, India, Prussia, an emerging European power, and even Belgium, a small European country close to Britain.
I’m afraid it’s still a very distant thing for the British Empire to pay enough attention to the big picture, which can transfer enough benefits to support Hedetai.
Zhu Jinglun needs to pay attention to this kind of long-term worry, and the immediate worry is the urgent problem to be solved. At present, there are four immediate worries, one is the world economic crisis, the other is the Japanese invasion of Taiwan, and the last is the Taiping Army’s northern expedition.
Section five hundred and seventy-six Decide on the future events.
Zhu Jinglun’s son is five months old, and when the full moon is full, he is very lively. He invited civil and military officials and relatives and friends to have a good time in the palace. He also sent a day of rice to the poor in the city on the advice of Fangshan Mountain in China. Zhu Jinglun did not recognize that the emperor’s family affairs affected judicial justice.
Zhu Jinglun’s original child will involve his own energy, but he is wrong. It turns out that the emperor’s family is really indifferent, because it is not necessary to take care of the child, change the diaper or nurse the child personally. The child is good at taking care of the child, and the nurse has a nurse.
All Zhu Jinglun needs to do is watch the baby hug several times a day, even if he has done his father’s duty, which makes him feel quite guilty, but he really has no energy to focus on such personal affairs.
Zhang Rou is very happy that Zhu Jinglun sees the children every day, which means that the emperor likes the emperor very much, so the emperor is more likely to inherit the throne in the future. Although it is a distant thing, she is still happy.
Eva is not so happy. She is a young lady from a big family. Although she tries her best to cater to Zhu Jinglun, she still has a temper. As soon as the news of Zhang Rou’s pregnancy is confirmed, she can’t stand the blow and intercede. She went home to visit her mother. Zhu Jinglun asked her to stay for a few more days and wanted to come back. He sent someone to pick her up, but Eva came back five days later, saving the road trip. She stayed at home for one day at most.
What she came back was that her clever sister-in-law asked her to go back and reprimand her. How can a woman in the emperor’s family have her own sex? Not only did she move back to the palace, but her sister-in-law also moved to Guangzhou. She bought a house in the flag camp opposite the palace and lived in Eva. If she was homesick, she wouldn’t go back to Heshan County.
Going back to the palace again, Eva was severely spoiled for a while. Zhu Jinglun obviously wanted to have a child soon, but Naizhu Jinglun didn’t want her to have her, so she didn’t.
It is impossible for Zhu Jinglun to allow Hakka forces to make waves with the help of a Hakka lineage, but Hakka people are a vulnerable group, and they are United, which is also a sign of tension. If they are not at ease, it will be difficult.
Zhu Jinglun has always paid no attention to this issue of ethnic origin. There is a saying that the China nation is a symbol of cultural identity, which is actually a false theory. Because all the nations in the world are cultural identities, any bloodline theory is the product of the development of natural science after the industrial revolution and has been formed with a large number of radical nationalist theories.
In the Middle Ages, Europeans knew that Jewish culture, the source of western culture, was a cultural identity. There were many black people in the Jewish nation. Is this blood identity?
The Hakkas and even the whole Cantonese people are the product of the integration of the Central Plains nation, especially the Central Plains culture. No one is a pure Han Chinese, but a geneticist has verified that the purity of the Han nationality has reached 9% in the later generations. This can’t be said that the phenomenon of ethnic integration in China’s long history can be said that the East Asian nationalities are highly consistent in their genes. In the Yellow River valley, the farming nationalities are very close to the grassland nomads and the Lingnan mountain dwellers. Perhaps the farthest bloodline among the yellow people should be the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau nationalities and American Indians.
In the history of China, there has never been a division of nationalities according to their ancestry. For the government, the people are divided into compiled and non-compiled. Anyone who compiles the people, whether he used to release horses or herd sheep, is an emperor. Even the Jews who moved to Henan in the Tang and Song Dynasties were qualified to compile. Can they take the imperial examination and have several juren scholars?
It is this lack of attention to bloodline culture that has caused the history of bloodline integration. Generations of southern nomads have disappeared in the compilation, and the Jews have gradually lost their family worship and replaced it with Confucius portraits.
In fact, the root cause of the outbreak of bloodline theory in Europe is that there has never been a strong politics and a nation with extremely strong culture in Europe. The only time may be in the Roman Empire, but the Roman integration ability is far from that of the Han people, and there is also a lack of the accumulation of Gauls, Germans, Celts and Slavs in the early days of the formation of the Han nationality. As a result, the major ethnic groups in Europe are competing with each other, and the principle of bloodline division emerged after the French integration.
There are no ethnic groups in China, but there are some ethnic identities in some areas, such as Guangdong Hakka and Guangfu people. In addition, there are ethnic differences in border areas, but the people in border areas have always been regarded as foreigners by the central dynasty. Hakka people are different. They are compiled by the government. They can take the imperial examination and can be integrated into the body.
Therefore, the Hakkas themselves have never excluded themselves from the Han Chinese group and argued with Guangfu people about who is purer.
This is a very good thing. What Zhu Jinglun should do is not to deepen the national identity of Hakkas and slowly let them form a new nation, but to better integrate them with Guangfu people.
This kind of custom-changing work has always been a water mill, just like the integration of Han nationality. The Jews didn’t finish it until the Qing Dynasty in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Zhu Jinglun didn’t have that long patience. He hoped to finish it in one generation. His practice was to relocate Hakkas.
Of course, it is impossible to forcibly relocate, but it is a good way to relocate and develop the tea economy by economic means. No matter whether foreigners invest heavily in building tea gardens or the Wu family and other noble families build tea gardens, they all choose to hire Hakkas. Because Hakkas are really a nation that is best at digging barren hills and is very good at growing tea, compared with others, they are more willing to accept relocation, which is simply the only choice.
In recent years, the tea garden has opened up 10 million mu of tea workers and employed more than 2 million people, most of whom are Hakkas, while the total number of Hakkas in Guangdong is only 3 million. It can be said that half of Hakkas have moved to mountainous areas around Guangdong to grow tea without pay, and the number of Hakkas in Wuyi area and Chaoshan area has been greatly reduced.
In history, such a large number of Hakkas finally emigrated to all parts of the world, and after a hundred years, they developed into a group of tens of millions of people. I’m afraid that the overseas Hakkas are not that big in this era, but in the big picture, they will be mixed with people from all over the world. Zhu Jinglun does not object to them maintaining their ethnic characteristics, but he does not want them to have any bloody conflicts again because of this characteristic. It is the most perfect solution to let them move independently, and it is also necessary to develop the tea industry.
As the Hakka people become more and more dispersed, their ethnic identity will not be so strong after a generation, but they will be closely linked with the local people, and the Hakka political forces will naturally dissolve when they lose their support.
But before that, Zhu Jinglun must calm them down. They should not be allowed to give birth. They should not be ambitious or have a sense of crisis. Otherwise, they will still be benefited. Zhu Jinglun’s approach is to marry a Hakka woman for himself and Zhang Rou in the future. One of the women must be a Hakka.
He is the representative of Hakka power, and has a good connection in both military and political circles. Zhang Baoming’s youngest daughter was born the year before last. Zhu Jinglun decided with him that young marriage has this layer. If Eva can’t give birth to a Hakka emperor, the Hakkas can choose to support Zhang Rou, who is also a son-in-law of Hakkas. By then, this child will naturally get the dual support of Guangfu people and Hakkas, and will get a relatively stable political environment.
Eva Zhu Jinglun, who has always wanted to have a child, can’t give her a child, but she can have more daughters. These princesses can also come to political marriage in the future if necessary. If not, Zhu Jinglun is also very happy that they can choose their own love.
Eva didn’t know that she was pregnant with a child, but she still pestered Zhu Jinglun with all kinds of gestures every day, which made Zhu Jinglun enjoy a beautiful female amorous feelings.
It’s a little reward for hard work
This period is really hard, because these things are likely to affect the future politics of big countries and even East Asia in the next 30 years.
Compared with the four major economic depressions in human history, the Great Depression of 173 is not a big problem.
And this economic crisis is not as difficult to solve as Zhu Jinglun imagined.
Thanks to his thorough preparation in advance, the American economic crisis soon affected the export of silk and tea to the United States, and the price of silk fell by 3% a year, and the price of tea plummeted by half, which was a big blow.
But the biggest problem comes from the spread of panic, and the world bond crisis has also caused the prices of various bonds in the big market to collapse. At the lowest time, the prices of large government bonds and railway bonds have dropped by half, and a large number of foreign banks, banks and banks have closed down. Fortunately, the money supply has been greatly tightened, resulting in a shortage of money in the market, deflation and a sharp drop in prices.
Guangfu bank has a huge cash reserve, but at this time, it dare not face the economic crisis directly, but try its best to keep the paper money and letters tired of coping with the constant run-off trend. Finally, in the second year, Guangfu bank’s reserve stopped falling, and only then did it have the spare capacity to rescue the market.
First of all, emergency loans were given to a large number of banks on the verge of collapse, and at the same time, a contract was signed with them, stipulating that these bailed-out banks must put themselves in Guangfu Bank and pay the reserve in proportion to connect Guangfu Bank, thus establishing their position as the central bank in China.
