African Nationhood

Chapter 88 Authority
  Everyone bowed their hands to Shi Jintang, and the crowd was excited for a moment, and everyone became more and more optimistic about their future.

Shi Jintang stretched out his hand and pressed down, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say."

When everyone saw Shi Jintang's words, they quickly fell silent.

Shi Jintang first described the general conditions in Southwest Africa.

The purpose is to let everyone know clearly what the future will be like.

After everyone learned that Shi Jintang's Nanhua Company occupies nearly 150 million square kilometers of land, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

The land area of ​​150 million is almost as large as the land area recovered by Zuo Zongtang and Zuo Gong.

Moreover, this land also has high-value minerals such as gold mines and diamond mines. This foundation is already quite good.

The only shortcoming is that the population under the rule is too small. Once the people are governed, and they fully learn from the powerful countries in Europe and the United States, one day they will rise up and become a strong and prosperous country.

In addition, everyone also heard from Shi Jintang's words that he also intended to conquer more lands, and he even did not hesitate to fight against the European and American powers.

Such words are even more inspiring. As a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, I have always been concerned about the dignity of the mother country.

Especially those who study abroad, if their mother country is strong, they will be respected outside, and if their mother country is weak, they will only be looked down upon.

The British were the great power that insulted the Qing Dynasty the most.

First, they poisoned the Qing people through the opium trade, and then they collaborated with France to plunder the Old Summer Palace.

Each of these incidents is enough to make every Qing citizen with integrity be filled with righteous indignation and gnash his teeth!
  Now that they have a chance to deal with the British, how can everyone not be excited and excited?

Seeing that everyone's emotions had been aroused, Shi Jintang continued to speak.

“Like me, everyone has drank foreign ink and has a broad vision.

We should have a deeper understanding of the saying that ‘governing a country means governing the people’.

Although I occupied a huge territory, there were less than 5 Chinese under my rule.

This is the coldness of reality, which is far from our ideals.

So today I brought everyone together just to work together and find ways to increase the population under our rule faster. "

This long passage of Shi Jintang is divided into levels.

First of all, he has established his dominant position and is positioned as an auxiliary minister to everyone. I want you to be the think tank, not the master.

In addition, he used "We are all international students and have drank foreign ink" to win over people's hearts, so as not to make everyone feel that the gap is too big and difficult to get close to.

It's like the time-traveling pig's foot positioning in later online novels.

My qualifications are similar to everyone else's, the only difference is that I am in this position, and you can do it if you want.

The last sentence is his key point, that everyone should work together, with me as the leader.

Although everyone is very young, they also know that Shi Jintang, a former classmate, has achieved great things, and it is unrealistic to want to treat each other as equals.

Therefore, everyone accepted the meaning of his words without any resistance, and automatically entered the role and started thinking.

"Aren't we going to be sent back to the country? Why not take advantage of the situation and encourage our neighbors to go to Africa to plant crops?"

"Well, what Brother Liu said is true. I've always had this idea. Before, it was because we were all government-sponsored students and couldn't keep in touch with our families.

Now that I have established a foundation, I no longer have to worry about Qing officials.

However, we are still citizens of the Qing Dynasty, so we must be careful when encouraging immigrants to immigrate to the mainland of the Qing Dynasty.

We can learn from the strategies of foreigners and just use the name of ‘organizing workers to go out to work’. "

Liu Jiazhao was happy when he received Shi Jintang's praise. The man in front of him was the future lord.

If you receive praise today and create an impression, it may be reused in the future.

"Brother Wenyuan, it is easy for us to organize and encourage immigration, but the Qing Dynasty is thousands of miles away from Africa. What is the transportation problem?"

“I have already thought of a solution to this problem, and I have started to acquire shipping companies.

When the acquisition is completed, we will provide you with specific contact information and arrival time. It is urgent to organize the immigration, but we must also make proper preparations so as not to embarrass you. "

Shi Jintang's words made everyone feel at ease.

I couldn't help but secretly sigh, no wonder Shi Wenyuan was able to pioneer the foundation.

He himself is a thorough and thoughtful person.

"Everyone, stop standing around and go in to talk!"

The people surrounding him all moved out of the way and looked at Shi Jintang with smiles.

This former classmate has naturally become the core of everyone.

His words are the guideline for everyone's actions, so even if they walk, they have to let him go first.

"Everyone, please sit down. I will share my thoughts on the people returning to China.

Let's listen. If you have different opinions, you can put them forward. "

Everyone nodded unanimously, and Ouyang Geng said: "Brother Wenyuan will speak first. If anyone has different opinions, we will add more."

“It is more appropriate for early returnees to use major as the standard, because some majors only require a basic understanding of the general content.

The real core things need to be combined with the actual situation of the country, and we cannot blindly learn from Europeans and Americans.

For example, in education, European and American education methods are only suitable for Europeans and Americans.

We Qing people have been influenced by Confucianism for generations. If we change the system rashly, it will only make the scholars confused.

How can confused citizens be patriotic, let alone loyal to their monarch and nation.

Therefore, I think it is better for students majoring in education to return to China first, attract Chinese immigrants, and then start from scratch to train new types of students.

That way there will be less resistance and it will be easier to cultivate citizens who are close to us and loyal to our country. "

Everyone was convinced by what Shi Jintang said. They were sent to the United States when they were young, and now their minds are filled with European and American values.

These thoughts do not have much hindrance to the individual; at most they only affect the individual's concept of behavior.

But it’s not appropriate to put it in a country. After all, after all the people who have been fully westernized do not identify with the mother country, how can the mother country gain a foothold?
  Ouyang Geng and Cai Shaoji nodded in unison, "Brother Wen Yuan is so right. We have never thought about these things before. Only after you reminded us like this did we finally wake up."

Shi Jintang smiled and continued to speak.

“As for students majoring in chemistry, science, engineering, and architecture, they should continue to study.

Where does the confidence of the European and American countries come from? It is naturally because their basic disciplines are well developed and the people at the bottom are highly educated. Only then can they build powerful ships and cannons, and sweep through all the countries to become kings and hegemons. "

"Indeed, Brother Wen Yuan is right."

"Agree."

"That's very well said. Brother Wenyuan's farsightedness has greatly inspired us."

……

Shi Jintang frowned. His words were normal at first, but why did he suddenly turn into a flattering party?

"Ahem, um..."

Shi Jintang cleared his throat, his original intention was to make everyone more reserved.

Although everyone's flattery subsided, they all looked at Boss Shi again.

"Brother Wenyuan, do you feel uncomfortable in your throat? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Shi Jintang was immediately heartbroken, these guys were really hopeless.
