1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2807
Beks laughed and said, "Don't make jokes, boy, just talk about it. Do you have any other ideas for solving the problem?"

"Yes." Bai Letong nodded without hesitation and replied, "Actually, I think the most reasonable method is to start from the field of culture and education. Maybe the effect will not be so fast, but the effect must be the best."

"Then let's talk about it." Beks knew that although his son was a literati, he had a rather stubborn personality, and if he was not allowed to talk properly, he would definitely have a lump in his heart.

It is not difficult for Bai Letong to understand the alienation caused by the objective environment.It's like he and Chen Pingliao have known each other for a long time, but they don't have a deep friendship. Because they don't have enough understanding, they can't establish a deep mutual trust relationship.

But at the same time, Bai Letong is also convinced that the sense of identity with the country, Haihan culture, and worldview will generate a strong centripetal force, allowing each overseas region to maintain long-term loyalty to the executive committee.

If the situation that the executive committee is worried about appears in the middle, it can only show that Haihan is not strong enough. At this time, it is more necessary to increase investment in culture and education, instead of mutual suspicion and restricting the local development momentum through various means.

Bai Letong said: "The executive committee is worried that the influence on overseas regions will gradually weaken in the future, so we should strengthen the education of the next generation of citizens, and fundamentally eliminate the possibility of separatism and division in overseas regions. "

"If the public does not receive enough information, it will be difficult to form a correct concept. Then even if this area becomes an economically developed area in the future, the public may lack a sense of identity with the country, resulting in the crisis that the Executive Committee is worried about."

"Among the goods sent to the northern region this time, there should be a batch of new textbooks revised by the Ministry of Culture and Education last year, including the latest interpretation of the country's political system. I think it is necessary to call the local officials in charge of culture and education and the heads of educational institutions. Explain the key points of the new textbook to them face to face, and ask them to include relevant content in their daily teaching and examinations.”

Bai Letong's narration reminded Bai Kesi of the time and space before time travel. The country was so powerful, but it still couldn't stop a small group of people from separatist and autonomous on the island.The most common practice of these local separatist forces is to refuse to recognize the identity and cultural connection with the country, and to instill wrong ideas in the people.In just one or two generations, the country has almost lost its influence in these areas.

Perhaps because of this, the executive committee is particularly worried that overseas regions will break away from the control of the state at some point in the future, and is even considering controlling the industrial development process of these regions.

However, Bai Letong's words made Bai Kesi suddenly realize that for the special environment far away from the center of power in the northern region, this may be a blind spot in the executive committee's cognition. It can be regarded as a solution to the potential crisis.

Of course, to adopt Bai Letong's suggestion, it is definitely not enough to rely on the administrative order of the Executive Committee, and it must have the full cooperation of the local government.

Bai Kesi pondered: "This place is not as convenient as the south. If you want to gather relevant people from all over Dengzhou, you must first send an official document to the management committee, and then wait for people to come from all over the place. The farthest place It is three or four hundred miles away from Fushan County, and it will take a lot of time to go there. To be on the safe side, it is best to let the management committee decide the specific meeting time."

Seeing that his father supported his idea, Bai Letong naturally agreed to the request immediately.

Bai Kesi said again: "It's rare to come to Shandong. In the next few days, I plan to walk around. You should be fine in Fushan County, so just follow me!"

Bai Letong asked curiously, "Where is father going next?"

Bai Kesi said: "Go to Dengzhou City first, and then take a look at the mines in Longkou and Zhaoyuan."

One of the important purposes of Beks' trip is to comprehensively inspect the large-scale industrial projects currently operating in the northern region.But Dengzhou has concentrated several important mineral deposits such as copper mine, coal mine and gold mine, so Beks naturally needs to spend more time here.

The next day, a group of people set off from Zhifu Port and took a boat to Dengzhou City.

The land distance between Dengzhou City and Fushan County is about 100 miles. Although there is an official road, if you want to get to Dengzhou City within a day, you have to change horses halfway, and you can’t stop to rest. There is no comfort at all. to speak of.If it is divided into two days, it will take too much time, so I still choose to go by boat.

It is worth mentioning that Ji Shengrong, whom Bai Letong met at the Vocational College the day before yesterday, also boarded the ship today as an escort, and will follow them on their next inspection itinerary in the northern region.

As the chief mining expert in the northern region, Ji Shengrong will act as an accompanying technical consultant as long as there are mines in the place where Beks and his party are going.

When Bai Letong talked to his father about his visit to the vocational college yesterday, he also mentioned this part-time teacher who gave interesting lectures, so after seeing him, Bai Kesi specially encouraged him.

Ji Shengrong said: "I received the notice too late yesterday, and the college happened to have classes, so I couldn't make it to the Fushan Copper Mine. I hope you will forgive me."

Bai Kesi said: "You don't need to blame yourself. Of course, it is more important to preach and learn. But then you have to follow us. What about the courses in this college?"

Ji Shengrong replied: "After I received the notice yesterday, I wanted to bring the students with me to let them see the world. But the management committee said that there are too many people and it is inconvenient to arrange, so I can only send the students to study in the college. .”

Bai Kesi laughed and said, "Running around with students is like your master's demeanor."

When talking about Tian Yeyou, Ji Shengrong's expression immediately became serious: "I haven't been able to meet Master for many years in a humble job. It is a pity in life. Only by using all the knowledge that Master passed on in the past to work can I live up to his teachings."

Bai Kesi nodded and said, "It's also a blessing for Lao Tian to have an apprentice like you. When I see him next time, I'll pass it on to you."

Chen Yixin knew that the latest diesel engine was installed on Beks's boat, so he asked to see the actual working effect.So a group of people went down to the power cabin and asked the operator to start the machine.

A huge roar sounded in the cabin, and then everyone felt that the entire space they were in began to vibrate with the operation of the machine, and they couldn't hear clearly when talking face to face.

Such an environment is naturally not suitable to stay for a long time. Everyone was surprised after watching it, and then gathered at the stern of the ship. From a high position, they could see the two propellers driven by the engine rotating rapidly underwater, and the resulting spray dragged two long lines on the sea surface. blot.
