Chapter 1016 Chinese Priority (3rd update, please subscribe)

Looking into the distance from the center of Taiyuan City, you can even see the Andes Mountains, which are covered with snow all year round.

Although few people would look into the distance, Xu Handong would look at the Andes Mountains in the distance every day after getting up.

In fact, he has always had a wish in his heart, which is to climb the Andes Mountains one day. However, he has only climbed Mount Santa Lucia, which is only 230 meters high, but it overlooks the entire city.

A wish is always a wish. He has no time to go climbing. Like all Chinese people, Xu Handong is always working and trying to save money. This is completely different from Europeans, especially Latinos. Those Latinos are optimistic, do not save money, and spend money as soon as they have it.

It is most appropriate to describe them as living a life of drinking and enjoying life today, but that kind of life is not what the Chinese people like.

After looking at the snow-capped mountains vaguely visible in the distance for a while, Xu Handong went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He came to the living room and was about to have breakfast when he saw his wife Danny holding buns and milk and said.

"Honey, when you get off work today, can you go to the Consumer Welfare Store and buy a bag of flour and milk? We are running out of flour and milk at home."

"Okay, I'll go ask again in the next two days whether your membership card has been issued. If it has, you can go to the consumer club by yourself."

The consumer society he mentioned was a unique enterprise of the Imperial Railway Company. It was an institution that provided welfare to the members of the "Consumer Welfare Society". Its main function was to rely on the transportation advantages of the "Imperial Railway" to serve all members of the "Imperial Railway". All commodities were sold at no profit or at a small profit, and the materials provided were rationed according to grade. This was a unique welfare for railway company employees and their families, but it only provided services to members.

"That would be great."

Danny blinked her bright blue eyes and looked at the man in front of her. Six years ago, when she was in elementary school, she fell in love with this man when she first saw him on the court. Then, she pursued him decisively.

In fact, this is normal. Every Chinese man is very popular. For many girls, pursuing a Chinese boy is the winner in life.

Why is this happening?

Not only because they are handsome, considerate, and family-oriented, but also because they all have potential!

Just like Xu Handong, after graduating from a vocational school two years ago, he passed the interview of the railway company and became an employee of the railway company, earning 42 yuan a month. It is well known that every Chinese can find a good job. Compared with the Chinese, the wages and allowances of Europeans are very different. This is the case in the Imperial Railway and the entire empire. This is an indisputable fact.

This is also why Chinese boys are so popular.

"Oh, little sister, I mean Sophia, she's already fifteen years old. Um, Zhao Wei...does he have a girlfriend?"

Zhao Wei is the younger brother of Xu Handong's colleague. He is seventeen years old and is working as an apprentice in a factory. Although he is an apprentice, his monthly salary is still more than ten yuan, which is higher than the salary of many Europeans. After all, many European immigrants are restricted by language, education and other reasons and can only do odd jobs, with a daily income of less than 0.6 yuan.

Economics determines everything. For young European girls, Chinese men are definitely rich men. They generally have an education above primary school level, and the worst are apprentices in companies. If you meet a Chinese who has attended a vocational school, then God bless you.

Ever since she met Zhao Wei at the wedding, Danny has set her sights on the boy, because good things should be kept in the family.

"Do you want to introduce her to Zhao Wei?"

Xu Handong thought about it and then said.

"I'll ask later."

When he went out and walked into the community, Xu Handong saw many women sending their children to school, most of whom were European or Latino.

He had long been accustomed to all this. This was not only normal in Taiyuan, but in fact, it was the same everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. Chinese men and European women, and eventually those Europeans, Latinos, and Indians would be completely diluted and integrated into China.

"It won't take a hundred years, two hundred years..."

Standing in the Governor's Office, the former Capitol, Wang Youling, the first governor of Shanxi - this is what the Chileans say, actually the first governor - pointed proudly at the European-style square outside the window and said.

"It will only take a few decades for this place... to be truly integrated into the Ming Dynasty. Both the people and the land will become part of the Ming Dynasty."

"What the old prime minister said is very true. According to this year's statistics, there are 12,000 newlywed Chinese-European couples in Shanxi. Judging from the population ratio, the old prime minister's goal can be basically achieved in at most 40 years."

Kang Chengren, the governor of Shanxi, stood beside the old prime minister and spoke respectfully.

Even if the old prime minister in front of him has retired, he is still the old prime minister. Moreover, he is the first appeaser of Shanxi. It is natural to respect him.

"Um,"

Nodding slightly, Wang Youling gave instructions.

"The principle of equal treatment in this enterprise is still being vigorously promoted. It took us more than ten years to establish our dominant position. We cannot relax easily. This is a policy that has lasted for at least two generations and forty years."

When mentioning the "principle of equal treatment", Wang Youling's tone was full of pride. This so-called "principle of equal treatment" was his first initiative in Shanxi. To put it bluntly, it is to use "improving welfare" as a gimmick, under the guise of the so-called "principle of equalization", but in fact, it implements a huge difference. This differential treatment is relatively hidden, that is, through the establishment of a series of prerequisites such as whether to receive vocational training, whether to have academic qualifications, whether to master Mandarin, etc. To implement differential treatment, in a word, the treatment of Chinese in Shanxi is much higher than that of Europeans. However, it is fair on the surface. As long as those Europeans can receive the corresponding education, can, and master Mandarin, they can certainly get the corresponding treatment. Of course, their chances of promotion in the company will be much less than that of Chinese. After all, everyone still gives priority to using their own people.

But at least on the surface, everything is fair. Chinese priority is an open secret of the empire!

It is precisely this economic advantage that allows Chinese people to have an advantage in the marriage market, and it is this advantage that has promoted the dramatic changes in Shanxi.

"Four million and two hundred thousand!"

Without waiting for Kang Chengren to speak, Wang Youling spoke again.

"When I first came to Shanxi, the population was 1.6 million. Now it is 4.2 million. In terms of population, the Chinese have exceeded 60% of the local population. The absolute advantage in population is the basis of stability!"

Looking back at Kang Chengren, Wang Youling smiled.

"Governor Kang, you need to work harder to attract immigrants."

"I know this, but at present, the copper mines, silver mines and corresponding metal processing enterprises are all saturated. Without new industries, how can we accommodate immigrants?"

Kang Chengren's tone sounded somewhat helpless.

"Speaking of which, I am a little envious of the Peru-Bolivia Federation. In the same desert, they have a large amount of saltpeter mines, but here we don't even have a guano mine."

As he spoke, he looked at the old prime minister and asked with some concern.

"Old Prime Minister, are you really going to visit there? There are quite a few exiles there!"
