British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 400: Lord Middle Hall

"However, can the Chinese workers here adapt to the climate of Newfoundland?" Gerald Edward raised another difficulty. Malaya is near the equator, while Newfoundland is near the North Pole. Although it cannot be compared with Alaska, it can be For those who grow up here, it is still a huge test.

"So we are talking about recruiting Chinese, not local Chinese." Alan Wilson replied after listening, "The assimilation of local Chinese and Malaya must be stopped immediately, preferably the relationship between the Muslim League and the Congress Party. .Easy for us to build influence!"

As for Gerard Edward's question about latitude, Alan Wilson remembers that in a previous life, there was a widespread Internet saying that the south was drier and colder than the north, Barbara.

Even if the humidity and cold can't smooth out the fifty-degree temperature difference, he can't do anything about it. With the current situation, Northeast Asia is too dangerous. It's hard to say whether he can come back safely. Agent Alan Wilson, killed by my heroic... warrior... embodies the Chinese nation..."

To prove his talent, Alan Wilson is of course willing to make a certain sacrifice, but this sacrifice is a bit too big.

A few days later, Alan Wilson met for the first time with representatives of Chinese workers who had volunteered to serve corvée and met the criteria he listed. These people were young, no more than thirty years old at most. Before coming to Malaya, they were still over the military.

"Introduce myself, you can call me Ai Zhongtang, this is my Chinese name, although I have never been to China." After Alan Wilson came in, he nodded at the dozen or so representatives in front of him and introduced himself, "I am English. As the Governor of Newfoundland, according to your Chinese habit, you can also call me Lord Zhongtang. Without further ado, let’s introduce ourselves so that we can continue the conversation.”

Su Yang, Tian Qianqiu... The people who came introduced themselves one by one. When they heard Tian Qianqiu's name, Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. This seemed to be the name of a historical celebrity. Minister of the Han Dynasty?

After the representatives introduced themselves one by one, Alan Wilson motioned for them to sit down before continuing, "I don't know what everyone thinks of this recruitment and why they came here."

"I heard that you can get a house if you join the labor recruitment tax exemption, but I don't know if it's true." Su Yang said impatiently as soon as the words fell.

Alan Wilson nodded and said, "That's right, while you are working, you don't have to pay taxes on the land you cultivate. When the construction period is over, you will get a house when you return to Malaya. This is what I discussed with Commissioner Gerrard. He also agreed."

"I want to know the local environment!" Tian Qianqiu asked about the workplace.

"Mr. Tian is more pragmatic, and should be similar to yours in North China." Alan Wilson was very straightforward, and he lied without any psychological burden. The climate of Newfoundland is definitely not the level of North China.

But in order to let these people go with him, he had to tell a little white lie at this time, but it wasn't a complete lie. Except for the winter, the temperature in the rest of the season was similar to that of North China, except that the winter was slightly longer by this billion Dot.

Because no one knows Chinese better than me, the communication between the two sides seems to be effortless. First of all, Alan Wilson does not discriminate against racism. After all, he was Chinese in his previous life, and he would never discriminate against himself.

He also got along well with these Chinese representatives, and was even willing to sign a contract in advance, using the reputation of the Malayan Commissioner Gerald Edward as a guarantee.

Fortunately, Gerald Edward is not here, otherwise he must have a theory with the Governor of Newfoundland, "Why don't you use your own name to vouch for it?"

There is no other reason. The key is that the magistrates are not as good as the current ones. Gerald Edward is the commissioner of Malaya, and his words must be more credible than his unknown governor.

"I don't know what everyone thinks of the Malays?" Alan Wilson brought the topic to the issue of ethnicity. For no particular reason, he wanted to ask the intuitive views of these new immigrants.

"We don't understand them." Tian Qianqiu hesitated for a while, but still expressed his intuitive views.

good! He sighed inwardly, and Alan Wilson agreed, "Actually, I don't understand them either, but it seems that I am not a minority. In fact, there is room for everyone to cooperate. You are all Chinese, and in principle not a local ethnic group. It was the colonial government of British Malaya who decided to let you in in consideration of objective conditions."

As for the original intention of putting it in, Alan Wilson certainly couldn't tell these people clearly, but what he thought in his heart was to change the proportion of Peranakans and make them a minority.

After all, after living in the same place for several generations, it is very likely that the contradiction between the enemy and ourselves will not be able to be distinguished. Assimilation is not the patent of any nation, and the main nation in any place will assimilate to a certain extent outsiders.

Coincidentally, the assimilation ability of the ethnic groups that believe in peace religion is still very high. If Alan Wilson said it directly, the assimilation ability of the peace believers is far greater than that of the Han people.

If you don’t believe it, start from the 600-year-old peace religion in the park. Calculate the expansion speed of the peace religion in the agricultural era, and compare the expansion speed of the Confucian culture in the agricultural era. Obviously, you can compare it. Whether in terms of population or land, Peace Religion is the dominant party.

Not to mention other places, just British Malaya at the feet of Alan Wilson, where the mainstream religion is the religion of peace.

The influence of Chinese culture in Southeast Asia is limited to half of Vietnam, which cannot be compared with Hinduism, let alone the more influential Peace Religion?

He was sure that in a place where there was no foundation, the Chinese would definitely lose to the pacifists in terms of assimilation ability.

From the perspective of the United Kingdom, the Peranakans are no longer credible. These new Chinese immigrants have not yet thought of themselves as natives of Malaya, so Alan Wilson's idea of ​​opening up immigration is essentially to let the Chinese New immigrants became mainstream, sidelining Peranakans who felt comfortable with the Malays.

Then supplemented with education from childhood to ensure that these Chinese will not repeat the same mistakes as the original Peranakans when they grow up.

"If I manage British Malaya, I will definitely give the Chinese fair treatment, including a complete Chinese education." Alan Wilson talked about the fighting friendship between Britain and China in the two world wars, not what he wanted to mention, but in addition to There seems to be no time when the two wars have stood on a common ground.

Don't think that his current guarantees seem to be all right, and Malaysia will never be able to do it after independence.

Learning Chinese and speaking Chinese in Malaysia is not an easy task, and it is thankless.

Because firstly, the government will not subsidize Chinese schools a penny; secondly, even if the diplomas of Chinese schools are recognized in other countries around the world, they are not recognized in Malaysia.

Those students who study in Chinese schools are not eligible to study in local national public universities in Malaysia.

Therefore, these public universities have some “racial discrimination” in Malaysia. Seventy-five percent of the admission places for freshmen admitted each year are allocated to Malays. It is almost impossible for students who graduate from Chinese schools to attend local public universities. Therefore, Students who graduate from Chinese schools can only study in foreign institutions or some local private universities.

Even if the reality is so cruel, the Chinese in Malaysia insist that their children go to Chinese schools, learn Chinese, and speak their own dialects. In terms of education, general national universities implement a racial quota system based on the interests of the Malays. The percentage of Malays who are admitted is very high, and professional fields such as medicine, engineering, law, pharmacy and biotechnology are allocated to Malay.

Even if Chinese students have excellent grades, they may not be able to successfully enter the ideal university, and most of the government's overseas study scholarships are awarded to Malays; in terms of housing, Malays can buy affordable housing at low prices, while Chinese do not.

If this is the situation of the Chinese after independence in Malaysia, Alan Wilson thinks that it is better not to be independent. At least the non-independent Chinese and Malays are equal. many Malays.

Because the official words are clearer than these Chinese representatives, Alan Wilson finally successfully deceived the feelings of these representatives, of course, verbally promised, including but not limited to, education guarantee, housing guarantee, property protection guarantee~lightnovelpub.net~ He even took the initiative to mention that today is such a good day, how about killing a few Japanese prisoners of war to add to the fun?

"To be able to see Lord Zhongtang today, and to get these guarantees, we feel more at ease." An hour later, Alan Wilson was surrounded by a dozen or so gentlemen, and came out of the commissioner's office, happily.

"It's still early today, let's find a place to eat and chat." Alan Wilson said that he wanted to drink as the locals did. "I tell you, when we get to the place, as the governor, I will guarantee your legal rights and interests. We will eat and live together, and we will enjoy the same blessings and difficulties. This is not a problem."

"With the words of Lord Zhongtang, we have nothing to worry about." Tian Qianqiu and Su Yang clapped their chests, "The sentence Lord Zhongtang said that no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, it really speaks to my heart. Go. It would be great if you were the Governor of Malaya. I don’t think your prime minister has any vision, so you should be the Governor of Malaya.”

"Don't dare to talk nonsense!" Alan Wilson waved his hand to remind Shen Yan, and then waved his gesture, "I hope that one day, it can benefit the public of British Malaya."

A group of people walked out of the Commissioner's Office, shoulder to shoulder, just in the eyes of British Malaya Commissioner Gerald Edward. Although he should be happy about it, why does he always feel that something is wrong?
