African Nationhood

Chapter 89 Choice
  Realizing that this might be his daily life in the future, Shi Jintang shook his head and said solemnly: "Well, to be honest, my throat is not serious."

"Brother Wenyuan, will the citizens under the country's future be purely Chinese immigrants? Will there be immigrants from other ethnic groups?"

Ouyang Geng's question was very critical, and Shi Jintang nodded.

"Ouyang's question is very critical. My vision is that the majority of the people in the future will be Chinese, but it cannot be purely Chinese.

Other ethnic groups will be added. Currently, there are already a small number of Korean immigrants in Southwest Africa. "

After hearing Shi Jintang's answer, Ouyang Geng continued to ask questions.

"So will immigrants from neighboring countries of the Qing Dynasty be introduced in the future? For example, Japanese or Malays?"

Shi Jintang was very resistant to the introduction of Japanese people. He could tolerate other ethnic groups, but he really didn't like the Japanese people.

However, no one here has a bad feeling towards Japan. Instead, they feel that Japan is the target of learning from the Qing Dynasty because they took the lead in reform and reform.

During this period, a large number of reformers in the Qing Dynasty were proficient in Japan.

Kang Youwei, a backbone of the reform movement, once whimsically proposed the absurd idea of ​​"China and Japan uniting, with Ito Hirobumi as president."

Shi Jintang wanted to deny this opinion, but everyone present nodded in agreement with Ouyang Geng's proposal.

He couldn't give any concrete reasons for his objection, so he could only express it tactfully.

So he replied: "As for foreign immigrants, my idea is to only absorb their female groups to serve as marriage partners for Chinese immigrants.

In this way, we will not mess with our Chinese blood descendants, but can also gradually assimilate them through Chinese education. "

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that Shi Jintang was a bit too conservative. In this era, East Asian countries were deeply influenced by Confucian culture and had a strong sense of identification with China.

But Shi Jintang's opinion is very important. After all, he is the leader and has implemented many policies. If he opposes it, he will probably arouse Shi Jintang's resentment.

Ouyang Geng looked around and found that no one was refuting. He could immediately feel that everyone was lacking in confidence.

Ouyang Geng can also understand everyone's reaction. After all, they are all students and do not have any practical experience yet.

“I think there is still room for this issue, so why not put it aside for now.

How about we discuss it later when we all have practical experience? "

Shi Jintang also agreed with Ouyang's proposal. When the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 occurs in the future, everyone will definitely not be so persistent anymore.

“After talking about the immigration issue, let’s talk about the education issue in Southwest Africa. Currently, I have promoted primary education in Southwest Africa, but there is really no way to implement intermediate education. The problem lies in the teaching staff.

I need a few classmates to come back with me first and serve as intermediate education teachers, so that we can lay a solid foundation for cultivating subsequent strength. "

The pale-faced Shi Jinyong said, "I can do this. I majored in education, and I also love taking care of students."

Shi Jintang nodded, "Well, you don't need too many people in the beginning, just 3-4 people.

The remaining people still have to recruit immigrants. "

After everyone thought about it, the majority of people were willing to go to education to open up wasteland first, because this was obviously a good opportunity to get familiar with Shi Jintang.

Going back to the Qing Dynasty to recruit immigrants is something anyone can do. It's far away and it's not easy to get results. It's better to go to Southwest Africa and brush your face every day.

Several people thought so, so a few wanted to actively express their desire to teach.

Shi Jintang had already expected this situation, and he said: "Ouyang and Cai Shaoji are both liberal arts students, plus Shi Jinyong before him.

The three of you are temporarily serving as Education Commissioners for South-West Africa, responsible for secondary education.

The other students will return to Qing to recruit immigrants for the time being. "

Shi Jintang has set the tone and everyone no longer debates. Since we didn’t succeed this time, we should try our best next time. Anyway, Southwest Africa is still full of opportunities.

Next, everyone talked about how to deal with the questioning of Qing officials when they returned to the Qing Dynasty and how to organize immigrants to board ships at the port.

After returning to the Qing Dynasty, these international students from the original time and space were first imprisoned in an abandoned college in Shanghai for several months, and then dispersed to various places to continue their studies or be assigned jobs.

Later, when this group of people gradually matured, most of them were entrusted with important tasks and became the mainstay of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

After all, there are only a few among them who truly leave their mark in history. Most of them are lost in the crowd and have become a member of the tide of the times.

Now that they have been recruited by Shi Jintang, their lives will only become more brilliant, so Shi Jintang does not regret recruiting these students.

After some discussion, Ouyang Geng took out a list and handed it to Shi Jintang.

"This is a list of all the students who are interested in going to Southwest Africa. There are 46 people in total. Only half of them came today. Most of the remaining people are willing to continue their studies."

"Well, Ouyang, please take care of yourself during this time and settle the affairs of these classmates. Don't worry about money. I'll take care of everything.

In addition, I also need to help everyone solve their daily life problems and make sure there are no mistakes or omissions.

Only when everyone has learned something can we in Southwest Africa have hope of prosperity. "

When everyone heard what Shi Jintang said, everyone was in high spirits, and they all had a fire in their hearts that they wanted to burst out in the land of Southwest Africa.

After the conversation, almost two hours had passed. Everyone got up and it was time to say goodbye. They would not be able to catch the train back if it was too late.

In the next few days, overseas students from the Qing Dynasty who intend to continue their studies will come here one after another and lurk until the Qing officials leave.

Those students who received the task of organizing immigration would follow Qing officials back to the country.

Shi Jintang bid farewell to everyone one by one, but still did not forget to cheer everyone up and draw cakes, which stimulated everyone's spirits.

Everyone is full of confidence and motivation for their future struggle life.

After finally sending everyone off, only Ouyang Geng, Cai Shaoji and others were left in the house.

So Shi Jintang took everyone on a carriage to the city center, and then found a luxurious restaurant to have a delicious meal.

After eating and drinking, Shi Jintang and Kelly Smith went to Dr. Smith's home and met Mrs. Smith, who had missed him for a long time.

During this period, Mrs. Smith intentionally or unintentionally mentioned how much Catherine missed him, and hinted that Catherine was an adult and it was time to get married.

Shi Jintang pretended not to know Mrs. Smith's hint.
  He doesn't want to ruin his relationship with Kelly yet, after all, he is determined to rebuild the Chinese nation.

As the leader, he must marry a Chinese as his first wife, and Ye Rong is his intended candidate for his first wife.

Kelly Smith grew up with him and were childhood sweethearts.

If she knew that she would be treated as a concubine, not only she but also Mrs. Smith would not be able to accept it.

It is better to maintain the status of being more than a friend but not a lover, which is the most appropriate.

I will not stay in the United States for a long time in the future. Time and distance will naturally dissipate the inappropriate feelings.

……

A few days later, many students had arrived, and Shi Jintang went over to meet with everyone to encourage them.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was time to negotiate with the boss of Guyon Shipping. Shi Jintang took Trudeau to the appointment.
