The sun never sets in America

Chapter 78 Founding of the People's Republic of China

In Xijing City at the end of May, due to its location on the west coast and the unique sunshine in California, this season is the most dense growth stage of all things.

Especially the sea of ​​tulips in the suburbs of Xijing City blooms with a beauty that does not belong to this era. Looking down from a high altitude, the flat sea of ​​flowers is really like a sea of ​​flowers, which is so fascinating. revel.

The tulips in Xijing City were first planted by merchants from the Republic of Mexico. Due to geography, California’s sunshine, which is second to none in the entire America, and the rain blowing from the Atlantic, this land has an inherent advantage, even if In later generations, California's agricultural products also enjoyed a high reputation in the United States...

squeak……

Several carriages passed by on the newly built concrete road in the suburbs, making a squeaking sound because of the rotation of their wheels.

"Second brother, this road is really well built. It's much better than the one in Luotian Town." On the carriage in the middle, Liu Tian lay on the window and looked at the cement road outside and the road not far away. A sea of ​​tulips and flowers, he said enthusiastically to Liu Ming, who was sitting in the carriage reading a book.

"Of course this road is better built than the one in Luotian Town. After all, it is the capital city, the most beautiful place. What would it look like if it were full of potholes?" Liu Ming looked up at the smooth cement road outside the window, and then continued I threw myself into books.

"Second brother, look, those flowers are so beautiful. It really looks like a big bed. How comfortable it would be if I slept on it every night..." The more Liu Tian looked at the sea of ​​flowers in front of him, the more he looked like a man who was raised by nature. On the flower bed, he excitedly pointed to the sea of ​​tulips in front of him and said to Liu Ming, "Second brother, it would be great if our family could plant so many flowers in the future. By the way, what is the name of this flower and why are there so many colors?" ..." Liu Tian pointed to the sea of ​​colorful flowers and asked Liu Ming, with a curious and happy expression on his face, as if he really wanted to make a flower bed at home...

But Liu Ming kept looking at the book in his hand and ignored what Liu Tian just said.

"Second brother, are you listening to me?" Liu Tian didn't get a response for a long time. He suddenly came to his senses and said to Liu Ming, "Second brother..." Liu Ming turned around and looked at his second brother Liu Ming, who was still immersed in reading. He shouted with some dissatisfaction, and when he shouted, he couldn't help but increase the volume of his speech.

"What's the matter?" At this time, Liu Ming raised his head and looked at his younger brother Liu Tian, ​​who was dissatisfied with him. "What did you just say?" Liu Ming asked Liu Tian, ​​with an incomprehensible expression on his face, as if he didn't know what he was doing. I don't know what Liu Tian just said.

I almost made Liu Tian angry to death! !
"Second brother, I'm asking if our family should have a garden like this one. Look, it's so beautiful..." Although he was very unhappy, Liu Tian still pointed to the sea of ​​tulips outside with great interest. He said to Liu Ming, looking at Liu Ming with a look of expectation in his eyes. Liu Tian hoped that Liu Ming could support his decision. After all, if he proposed to create a sea of ​​tulips like the ones outside, he might still be criticized. A scolding, but it will be different if Liu Ming is added. It would be even better if the younger sister Liu Ailin is also involved...

Basically, this matter may be done, and he will be able to see a sea of ​​flowers like today at home in the future... Liu Tian thought to himself with pride.

"What's so beautiful about flowers? Don't think it's great just because they're blooming now. After a while, these flowers will wither and you won't be able to see anything by then..." Liu Ming listened to what his younger brother Liu Tian said. , looked out the window at the large sea of ​​beautiful and bright tulips. Although he thought it was quite beautiful, in Liu Ming's view, there was no guarantee of this kind of beauty...it was just a short-lived bloom.

After blooming, it withers. For Liu Ming, who pursues long-term profits, this kind of flower may not be as valuable as a shotgun or a book.

"Besides, our family has to feed so many people, so the expenses are huge. If you create such a big sea of ​​flowers, you will need to hire several gardeners, not to mention the people who pay taxes and fertilize. It will be a waste of money." , someone has to deal with it..." Liu Ming ignored Liu Tian's ugly expression and continued to complain about the troubles of these flowers, "Not to mention, the founding ceremony of the country is coming soon. After the founding of the country, money is needed everywhere, how can we spend it on These flowers, plants, these useless things..." Liu Ming continued to rub salt into Liu Tian's already bad mood.

The founding ceremony mentioned by Liu Ming is the preparatory ceremony before Liujiabao establishes the country. After all, any country must prepare for the ceremony when it is founded, let alone Liujiabao, which is originally located in North America and has many people in its territory. With a large number of Indians, whites, and even mixed races, this founding ceremony was even more lively.

If you do it too small, it will be easy to show your timidity! !
Because of this, even though Liu Peng and Liu Yan repeatedly requested that the founding ceremony be as simple as possible, they still spent more than 50 Chinese yuan. This amount of money is enough to arm a main brigade with full personnel and sufficient ammunition...

Of course, this money is not in vain, nor is it wasted in vain. Most of the funds are used to repair Xijing, the future capital, and part of it is the equipment and clothing required for the ceremony, which all cost money.

But no matter how you put it, this money is spent domestically, and eventually this money will circulate in society, creating greater value for the entire society.

And because of the renovation and expansion of Xijing City, it has actually stimulated a large number of industries related to the city, including cement, bricks, wood, steel, furniture, etc.

It has even created a large number of jobs for workers. This is what Liu Peng often said: investment drives the economy.

"Second brother, I find that you are becoming less and less like before." After Liu Ming finished speaking, Liu Tian suddenly said this to Liu Ming with a complex expression, "You used to be willing to play with me, but now you can't even talk." I have almost no time. I spend all my time reading books or chatting with those old guys... Those who don’t know think that you, the second brother, are better than the eldest brother!!" Liu Tian mocked Liu Ming, and Liu Tian said The old guys are teachers like Jiang Aimin and Tom. Because Liu Ming is eager to learn, he often communicates with those old people about academic problems. Even Jiang Aimin, an old and stubborn person, once talked to Liu Yan in front of Liu Yan. In person, Liu Ming was praised.

It is said that Liu Ming is one of the smartest students he has ever taught. The reason why he added one more is because there is a more powerful, famous and scary Liu Peng.

But because of this, Liu Ming worked harder and wanted to get full marks every time he took the exam. Although Liu Aimin told him many times that exams are like life and it is impossible to get full marks, Liu Ming was obsessed with this. .

Even if he gets ten questions and nine exams in a course, he will still be upset because of which one he got wrong. He often studies hard at night, which shows that Liu Mingzhi is diligent and studious...

"Third brother, you have to understand that after the founding of our country, we will become relatives of the emperor, the royal family, and the royal family. Since ancient times, those born like us have been born to do great things..." Liu Ming looked dissatisfied with himself. Liu Tian persuaded him with sincerity. In his opinion, when the country is founded in the future, it is even more important to work hard and work hard to keep this hard-won country. How can you be like a child, just knowing how to play day by day? If you continue to play like this, no matter how big your country is, no matter how good your wealth is, you will lose it...

"Third brother, we have to share the burden for our father and eldest brother..." Liu Ming then persuaded Liu Tian earnestly, "I conquered this country, and my son will naturally help me defend it. If he knows how to play day by day, then What's the difference between those stupid kings who lost their country in the history books!!" At this point, Liu Ming emphasized his tone. In Liu Ming's opinion, what they should do is to try their best to assist his father in handling national affairs and help his elder brother. If you manage the army just for fun every day, your country will be ruined long ago.

Even if he is not defeated, he will be captured by outsiders sooner or later... In history, are there too many cases in history where outsiders from the north have seized power due to the incompetence of their descendants? ?
In view of this, Liu Ming has a sense of responsibility for Liu Tian, ​​a sense of responsibility to push Liu Tian to make progress and turn around.

This sense of responsibility is innate and has nothing to do with anything else. It’s not because of anything else, just because his surname is Liu! ! !
"Second brother, after talking so much, you are still studying. Look at the eldest brother, he is already in power." After listening to what Liu Ming said, Liu Tian knew in his heart that what the other party said was reasonable, but his temper That's it, if you coax Liu Tian to say it, he might admit his mistake, but Liu Ming said to Liu Tian in a lecturing tone. With Liu Tian's character, he definitely disagreed, so he immediately replied to Liu Ming: …

Sure enough, as soon as he finished saying this, Liu Ming's expression immediately changed, and his whole person became a little complicated, but in the end, under Liu Ming's strong heart, he became calm again.

"I'm still young. If I take charge, it will take a few more years. I'll study for a few years before I can say anything." Liu Ming replied to Liu Tian in a calm tone, as if he really didn't care, but if you look carefully, you will find that , Liu Ming's hand holding the book was a little hard, and the cover of the book became slightly wrinkled.

This is rare for Liu Ming, who has always been calm and gentle. It shows how Liu Ming is feeling at this time...

Liu Ming didn't want to be as open-minded as he said.

"Okay, second brother, study hard so that you can do big things in the future." Liu Tian replied to Liu Ming in a strange way, especially the words "big things", which were spelled out very strongly, as if he was afraid that Liu Ming wouldn't understand. Same.

After he finished speaking, Liu Tian continued to look out the window at the sea of ​​flowers that was already fading away, with an unfinished expression on his face.

Only Liu Ming on the side showed no expression after hearing what he just said, but the book in his hand was almost broken.

After a while, Liu Ming calmed down, wiped the wrinkled area, and carefully folded it, hoping to flatten it, but it couldn't be folded or smoothed, which made Liu Ming feel a little distressed.

The carriage returned to the city soon. When they returned to the city, Liu Ming and Liu Tian didn't say a word. They were like strangers. However, they both knew in their hearts that this was just a temporary rivalry. In the end, they would return to normal. .

In the end, the Zizhi Tongjian, which Liu Ming had manipulated into having some changes in his profession, was brought home by him.

.............................................

Xijing Government Affairs Office, a brand new organization.A central agency established mainly to control the situation in the entire California region is actually no different from the so-called Military Aircraft Division of the Congress of other countries...

They are all top-level administrative management.

The Government Affairs Office seems to be a government, but in fact it is a larger yamen. It is essentially no different from the Xijing City Government. The biggest difference is that the city government only manages one city, while the Government Affairs Office has to manage the entire California region.

The things they manage are similar, but the scope of their management is different. The Government Affairs Office can also be understood as the superior of the Xijing Municipal Government...

The Government Affairs Office is a Chinese building similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. It covers an area of ​​about hundreds of acres. There are various Tang-style palaces stacked on top of each other. Located in the center is the parliament hall where meetings are usually held. It is mainly used to hold meetings. Topics for public discussion…

As for those that are not suitable for public discussion, naturally, internal procedures can be followed.

After all, holding small meetings for big things and big meetings for small things has been a habit of the Chinese since ancient times.

A heated debate is also taking place in the parliament hall today.

"I think our national flag should represent the entire Americas, and America has Indians, Chinese, whites, and Indo-European mixed races, and even now there are many Chinese and white mixed races..." Participating in the discussion on the flag design, Xijing City Subordinate Lu Lingyun, the mayor of Zhongzhong Town, stood in the parliament hall and said to the dozens of people participating in the national flag design discussion in the parliament hall.

"In view of the fact that the situation in our country is so complicated, I think we should use a tricolor flag similar to that of France as the national flag, and choose colors that represent various ethnic groups in the country to coordinate the entire country..." Lu Lingyun continued to stand. In the conference hall, he told everyone present his views on the flag.

In Lu Lingyun's view, every race and nationality within the territory should be taken care of, and it would be perfect to choose a national flag with a neutral color.

"Look, everyone, this is the national flag I designed..." Lu Lingyun took out a horizontal striped flag similar to that of France and showed it to everyone in the parliament hall, "The yellow represents the Indians, the red represents the Chinese, and the white It represents the white people, the blue represents the mixed race, and the gold represents the land we are on." Lu Lingyun boasted and talked to himself while holding the five-color flag he designed, as if only using the flag he designed was normal.

Any other flag is heresy! !
Heretics must be eliminated! !

"I think it's okay...what do you think?"

"I think it's okay. It feels like redemption. What's wrong?"

"I feel the same way, but I just can't tell what is wrong."

After Lu Lingyun introduced the five-color flag in his hand, there was a lot of heated discussion in the council hall. Of course, most of them agreed, but there were still a few people who felt that there was something wrong with the five-color flag, so they just said no. come out……

"I don't agree..." Just when Lu Lingyun was secretly proud, someone stood up and retorted.

"Mo Yu, what do you think?" The person who stood up was none other than Mo Yu, the chief of the audit department. Since Mo Yu became the chief of the audit department, this was his first official appearance. If it hadn't been today If there are no restrictions on the national flag discussion, Mo Yu will not come to the event.

"Mo Yu, you are an intelligence chief, why are you running out to make a fool of yourself..." Lu Lingyun looked at Mo Yu who stood up to refute him, with a disdainful smile on his face. In his opinion, a Jin Yiwei leader, except for Do those shameful and dirty things, do you know what the national flag is and what the country is? ?

In Lu Lingyun's heart, there were ten thousand reasons to look down on Mo Yu, the chief of the audit department.

After all, the words intelligence and investigation are too easily misunderstood in Chinese society.

It is easy to be associated with Dongchang and Jinyiwei, not to mention that Mo Yu jumped out to oppose the national flag he designed at this time. It would be strange for Lu Lingyun not to be angry.

"It's true that I am an intelligence agent. I am indeed the intelligence chief in your mouth and the eunuch of the Dongchang in your heart..." Mo Yu mercilessly revealed everything that Lu Lingyun was thinking. Not only did Lu Lingyun change Face, even some people present who couldn’t stand Mo Yu’s face also changed their faces...

"But everything I do is for the country, and it's all for the Chinese people." Mo Yu said to Lu Lingyun and everyone present with a solemn face, "But you, I don't know what your position is?" Mo Yu suddenly spoke in a sudden tone. After a turn, he sharply accused Lu Lingyun, with an angry expression on his face, as if Lu Lingyun had made some heinous mistake.

Everyone present was a little confused as to what it meant.

Some people even think that Mo Yu and Lu Lingyun have some kind of feud and are here to avenge their private revenge! !
"I...what's wrong with my position, Mo Yu, please explain clearly?" Lu Lingyun looked at Mo Yu who was pointing at him, and his face turned red with anger, and he immediately retorted, "I am doing all this for our country. For the sake of thinking, let me see, even you, the intelligence leader, deliberately caused trouble, and I don’t know what your motives were..." Lu Lingyun then cursed at Mo Yu. In his opinion, this time it was Mo Yu who deliberately caused trouble, maybe There is some ulterior purpose behind this.

As soon as these words came out, even the people around him looked at Mo Yu with a somewhat unkind look. In their opinion, it was Mo Yu who was causing trouble this time, or there was even a bigger conspiracy.

The reason for this is that Mo Yu's identity is too sensitive in the eyes of these civil servants. This may seem like an investigation abroad, but one day, the investigation may come to them... They really have to be on guard! !

"What I do is different from everyone else, so I can feel the danger even more!!" Mo Yu didn't care about the opinions of the people around him or the strange eyes, but said frankly, "Master Anlu just now He said that the five races are equal, but where does that leave us, the Chinese, our soldiers who sacrificed their lives to capture California, and where do those families of those martyrs go... Mr. Lu, please tell me, what is equality, ah... " Mo Yu scolded Lu Lingyun sternly, with a hint of indescribable indignation in his tone, and a look of excitement on his face.

"This..." Lu Lingyun was scolded by Mo Yu and was speechless for a long time, "I, I also want to eliminate the hatred between all ethnic groups in society. Is it possible that such hatred should be allowed to continue? Give it to the next generation?" Lu Lingyun then explained to Mo Yu, with an aggrieved expression on his face. In Lu Lingyun's view, the most important reason why he made the five-color flag symbolizing the five races was to satisfy all parties. It won’t be a big mistake…

"Eliminate the hatred of all ethnic groups, the next generation..." After Mo Yu heard what Lu Lingyun just said, he laughed directly, "In my opinion, having this kind of national flag is really harming the next generation. Remember to govern Are you telling me, sir, we will only have one ethnic group in the future, and that is the Chinese. Other ethnic groups, including Indians, whites, and mixed-race people, must be integrated into the Chinese group. If we follow Lord Lu’s method, we will harm future generations. , harming the country!!" Mo Yu said loudly to Lu Lingyun and everyone present, with an extremely excited expression.

After Mo Yu finished speaking, everyone's expressions immediately became complicated. They understood that what Mo Yu said was true.

According to the earliest population plan of Liu Peng, with more and more Chinese immigrants, as well as the honorary Chinese who joined the Chinese group, and the encouragement of Chinese marriages with other races, decades later, on the land controlled by Liujiabao, there were only One nation, that is the Chinese...

Because this proposal was put forward by Liu Peng after he captured Los Angeles. After the Second Los Angeles War, various wars in California, and the subsequent marriage between some Chinese and whites, most of whom were Chinese officials, some Chinese officials reported against whites. I have a good impression that they are also a civilized race like the Chinese.

After all, compared to Indians whose living habits are still in the tribal era, white people who live in the same civilized life as the Chinese are naturally more favored by the Chinese than the Indians, even when marrying a wife. For the same woman, if one is white, the other Being an Indian, the man must choose a white woman...

This has nothing to do with appearance and skin color. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of living habits. After all, even if the rate of assimilation of Indians is accelerating due to urbanization and literacy, it will ultimately take time to adapt, and within this time point , Indians are not as popular as white people, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

"I would like to ask Mr. Lu again, where is your position and where is your butt?" Mo Yu looked at the somewhat panicked Lu Lingyun and immediately asked, "Or is it that Mr. Lu is unwilling to admit that the Chinese have a dominant position? ? "Mo Yu asked Lu Lingyun again, with a serious expression on his face.

After Mo Yu said this, everyone present looked at Mo Yu. What is ruthlessness? Only today did they know that if Lu Lingyun could not answer this sentence well, it is very likely that this black gauze hat would be lost.
