Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 653 Qiongzhou in the eyes of the natives

Zuo Fu had already informed Zhu Cihong about the coming from Australia, but Zhu Cihong didn't say anything about it, and just let Zuo Fu arrange it himself.

Zuo Fu thought about it for a while when Zheng He brought back the aborigines when he went to the West, so in Zhu Cihong's opinion, this is nothing, right?But it's also good.Those natives need to be taught more, it is not good to rush into the capital and cause trouble.

Write a letter to the Qiongzhou government, asking them to arrange jobs for parents of children studying abroad in accordance with labor policies, and set up special classes to teach these indigenous children.In this letter, Zuo Fu emphasized the importance of Confucianism to these school children, and they must first understand the rituals of China, and then teach knowledge.

The Qiongzhou government took action immediately after receiving Zuo Fu's letter.In fact, this matter is not difficult to handle, because there are still quite a lot of foreign children in Qiongzhou.

A large number of Annan people, Korean people, and Dongying people came to Qiongzhou to work, and their children were all arranged to go to school. This matter was started when Zuo Fu was still in Qiongzhou, so he is familiar with it now.

These foreign children had to study separately before mixing with Ming children. In addition to learning Chinese characters, they also had to learn Ming customs and etiquette. All the textbooks were specially compiled, and all the teachers who taught them also received special training.

They must ensure that their teaching makes these children feel admiration and closeness to Chinese civilization. For those who have the same skin color and ethnicity, they repeatedly hint that their ancestors are from China in the past, and they are descendants of Yanhuang.

Such textbooks and teachings would have to be sprayed to death in later generations, but in this era there is no problem.Because in this era, even if Daming is deprived of half of the country, it is still an insurmountable peak in the eyes of the world, a superpower!
People in other countries in this era have a natural sense of reverence for China. Don't look at Annan, a [-]-year-old boy who often dives, but still uses Chinese characters and wears Chinese clothes.

Therefore, in the circle of Confucian civilization, the concept of the boundary between countries is actually very vague. If Annan is subdued by the Ming Dynasty, the local people will not feel like their country is subjugated, because they belong to the Huaxia circle!
Once these children are settled, daily necessities are distributed, and some simple tasks are arranged for the parents of these children, the matter is considered over.

In Qiongzhou, these new foreigners will have special life guidance, usually voluntarily served by local people, and the yamen will give some subsidies for rice, oil and salt.

Moreover, from three years on, these "foreigners" who have been quarantined can freely rent houses in China.I will do this because I hope that these "foreigners" can integrate into Ming culture and prepare for the next step of naturalization.

At present, Qiongzhou has a policy of absorbing immigrants, but not everyone can become a naturalized citizen.First of all, if you are not of East Asian race, naturalization will be more difficult; second, you have to work in Qiongzhou for five consecutive years, have no criminal record for five years, and must have 100 votes of local residents to become a naturalized citizen.

Although there is a huge shortage of labor force today, Zuo Fu is still quite cautious in this regard.You can come to work, but it does not mean you can be naturalized, because that means the distribution of benefits.

Now Qiongzhou Yamen is encouraging childbirth, and can enjoy special subsidies from the third child onwards.But it takes time for children to grow up, and the Qiongzhou government has always attached great importance to children's education. When Zuo Fu was still there, school-age children, regardless of gender, if there were no special circumstances, would be subject to lawsuits if they did not send their children to school, so it was foreseeable that , these children will not engage in any manual labor or low-skilled manual labor in the future.

These children shoulder the heavy burden of revitalizing China, and their talents and learning are to be used in higher places.Therefore, these labor gaps must be filled by some foreign labor, and Zuofu's plan is to annex the entire Australia and the surrounding islands in Southeast Asia, so it is good to attract more people.

Of course, forget about those slackers, the main people they absorb are still in the circle of Confucian civilization.

The appearance of Australian aborigines is very different from that of East Asians or even Southeast Asians. They lived in the workshop very quickly, and soon attracted the crowds of neighbors.

"Look at this kid, it's so dark!"

"There is no Kunlun slave black, the Kunlun slave is called black! When you grin at night, you don't need to turn on the lights, and the two rows of teeth are shining white, which can illuminate the entire alley."

"Old Wang, you really know how to blow! The emotional Kunlun slave is not teeth, but a light bulb!"

"Didn't I describe it? Do you understand the description?"

The neighbors are chattering, and these indigenous people don't know what these Ming people are talking about, they only understand simple Mandarin, and the dialect spoken by these Qiongzhou people is not to mention them, even a Ming people can't understand it at all!

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you know how to smile, you can enjoy yourself wherever you go.Moreover, these Daming people were also laughing, presumably there was no malicious intent.

Ever since, the big and small aborigines all grinned and kept smiling at the Ming people.

This smile amused the neighbors!
"Oh, the Australian has white teeth too!"

"Where is it white? It's their dark skin, they look white! Look, this kid still has a vegetable leaf on his teeth!"

"Oh, it's true, these people don't know how to brush their teeth, right? Fang Zhang, you are their life guide, you have to teach them how to brush their teeth! Our workshop is the number one health model workshop in the whole prefecture, so we can't ruin our reputation. what!"

"What's the matter? These aborigines have also taken classes in Australia, and they can also write! They can write, can they brush their teeth?! Let it go, let it go!"

The head of Jian'an Square pushed away the crowd, and said to the natives with a smile on his face: "Child, do you understand? Putonghua, do you understand?"

Several children's eyes lit up, and they nodded, "Understood, understand a little bit."

These children all grew up in New Golden State, and have a language environment, so they can learn Mandarin faster and better than adults.

A group of neighbors were very surprised when they heard that these children could speak Mandarin!
"Ah, how can this kid still speak official language?!"

"I've said it all, those who taught over there... are all gone, gone, don't stay here, I have to arrange them well, otherwise I won't feel at ease..."

At the same time that the group of overseas students moved into Jian'anfang, Akubi was also arranged to a new residence. He will stay here until the next sailing, so he also had to arrange a residence.

Bringing adults like Akubi back to Daming is also to learn, to learn Qiongzhou's production model, let them see the prosperity of Daming, and strengthen their worship psychology, so as to unify later.And Daming can't afford extra labor now, so it is very important to teach these native skills.

Among other things, if these aborigines can learn to farm, learn to herd and so on, it will save a lot of trouble for the pioneering group.Moreover, Australia is very suitable for grazing. Considering that all the horse breeding lands in Ming Dynasty are occupied by Tartars, this matter is also very important.

Akubi was allocated their own room. The place they lived in was similar to a post house, but compared to the post house, this hotel built in the past two years was more modern and the living conditions were more comfortable.

The hotel is not big, with a total of three floors. When you open the door of the room, there is a simple wardrobe on the right, and the bathroom is directly opposite the wardrobe, all of which are connected to running water and electricity.

There is a simple shower in the bathroom. If you need to take a bath, you can rent a foldable bathtub at the service desk.In addition to the shower room, there is also a sink with shower gel, shampoo, soap, and wooden combs on it.

In addition to these, there is toothbrush and toothpaste.However, if ordinary guests stay, these things will be charged separately.

In order not to cause too much pollution, all hotels in Qiongzhou do not provide disposable items for free, and guests are encouraged to go out to buy or bring their own.

On one side of the sink is a flush toilet with a towel rack on which there are two towels, one for washing your face and one for bathing.

The facilities that even the hotels in later generations would consider crude are very tall in this era.Many people who come to Qiongzhou will abandon the post station and directly stay in various large and small hotels in Qiongzhou, experiencing the life of automatic flushing in the toilet and electric lights at night.

Because Akubi is also considered a boss and is very loyal to Daming, he was allocated a big bed room.The room is small, but there are tables and chairs, and a simple wooden bed from later generations is covered with palm mats woven by local people.

The four-piece suit with gray pattern is laid on the bed, which is simple but neat.Different from hotels and hotels in later generations, hotels in Qiongzhou do not use white sheets and quilts, because it looks unlucky, so they generally use colors that are more resistant to dirt.The tone of the whole room is also cooler.

No way, Qiongzhou is relatively hot, and if you use warm colors, it will look too hot.

There are some stationery on the table in the room, there are notes and pencils.In addition to these, there are two water cups and tea leaves.

You need to go to the service desk to get hot water by yourself. Generally, two hot water bottles will be provided when you check in. If it is windy and rainy, and the energy of the solar water heater is insufficient, you can also fetch water for simple washing.

In addition to these, a simple full-length mirror is inlaid on the wardrobe, where guests can arrange their clothes and grooming, and an empty table for placing items is set somewhere in the wardrobe. For women, cosmetics can be placed here for dressing.

There are also two layers of curtains, one layer of white gauze, one layer of shade and light, and there are two small bedside tables on both sides of the bed.

Akubi has lived for more than ten years, where has he seen such a formation?Immediately he was insane, and started dancing in front of the mirror.

He is no stranger to mirrors, he has seen the kind of palm-sized hand mirror in the hands of Daming people.But I have never seen a mirror as big as this.Looking at his materials in the mirror, Akubi felt that his whole body had been sublimated.

After dancing happily for a while, I went to try the shower.Fortunately, he also tried this thing in New Golden State, and someone taught him how to use the things here when he came in. His memory is not bad, so he won't be in a hurry when washing up now.

It's not enough to take the body wash and shampoo to the shelf in the shower, hum a song, and sing while washing, you have to dance again.

After taking a shower, people are much more relaxed.He fell on the bed and rolled a few times, feeling extremely high.Although the journey was hard, he was not sleepy at all at the moment.After rolling on the bed for a while, he got up again and began to explore his living place.

Such a person went crazy for a while, and there was a knock on the door outside.He opened the door and saw that he was the little leader in charge of his group. He saluted hurriedly, and said in a somewhat blunt Mandarin, "Hello, Manager Zhou."

"Akubi, let's go and have dinner with us."

Manager Zhou smiled and said: "I learned that you are here to visit and study. The magistrate has booked the canteen of this hotel. You will see the magistrate later. Remember what the teacher taught, don't make a fool of yourself."

Akubi didn't quite understand what the magistrate was, but it seemed that some important person was coming, so he cupped his fists and said, "Please don't worry about it!"

After changing into clean clothes, he went downstairs with Steward Zhou. On the way, many friends also joined in.

Arrived at the cafeteria on the first floor, it has already been set up, and the cold dishes are served, just waiting for the guests to take their seats.They sat down one after another according to the instructions of the steward, and they were stunned when they glanced at it!
I always thought that the food I ate in Xinjinzhou was the best, but compared with the one before me, those who say it is pig food are not exaggerated!
It's not that the food in New Jinzhou is not good, nor is it that the Ming people abused these natives, but that everyone went to start a business, not to enjoy the blessings, not to mention the aborigines, but the Ming people, from the management to the ordinary Workers all eat the same meals.

After all, it's easy, isn't it?Everyone didn't bring the women over, who would go home and start a small stove?It's all in the cafeteria!Moreover, the craftsmanship of the cafeteria masters is still good. Although there are not many things that can be eaten at the beginning, they cook them in different ways, but compared with the elaborate banquet dishes, the big pot rice is naturally rough.

The current family members in Qiongzhou are well aware of the importance Zuofu attaches to Australia, so today they also seem to attach great importance to it.Don't look at these people as natives, but they are the masters of the land. If Da Ming wants to take over the land smoothly, he cannot do without the help of these natives.

No, a series of dishes with Qiongzhou characteristics, such as Wenchang chicken, fish tea, Nansha, thunder gong bamboo shoots, Lingao roast suckling pig, vegetable stew, Hele crab, Dongshan goat, pineapple rice, etc., are all on the menu. Impress the aborigines with the hospitality of the Ming people. When they live together in the future, they will think of the kindness and simplicity of the Ming people.

The magistrate was very thoughtful, but he just forgot that these aborigines really have never seen anything in the world, how can they maintain etiquette with such delicious food in front of them?The time of education is short. Before meeting the Ming people, these people were warriors in the wilderness. Now it’s all right. The saliva is dripping. Well, the dishes on the table are missing corners.

Fortunately, it's a cold dish, otherwise it wouldn't be scalded to death?The magistrate was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed, stroked his beard and said, "They're all bastards, they're all bastards! Good, good, good! Gossip less, dinner is the biggest thing. Come on, old man, let's have a drink first, let's eat first and then eat." say!!"
