Chapter 19: Leisurely Far From War (2)
The living room of the villa is very large and can sit about a dozen people. Several servants shuttle back and forth with tea cups and plates to serve a group of people in the cultural circle.
Qian Qing himself was the one who held the party. His current identity is a writer, critic, publisher, and professor of economics. He also acts as a temporary consultant to some senior wealthy people and helps them with advice. Sometimes he will give lectures at Luoyang University, and his identity background is very complicated. There are even rumors that he has a close relationship with the Statistical Investigation Bureau of Syphilis Patients. Of course, Qian Qing denied and was secretive about this matter. Even people in the circle like Li Peng can only guess.
In fact, there are always one or two such figures in various circles of the East Coast society. They have complex backgrounds and well-informed knowledge. Although their careers are not the top, they are definitely not bad. After all, the first people who established this country came from later generations, especially the founders of the intelligence department. They admired the intelligence organizations of the most powerful countries on the earth to develop informants among actors. The actor actively moved closer to the organization, earned achievements by informing, and finally became president. How could the East Coast people not learn so much?
Li Peng has any bad impression of Qian Qing. Everyone has their own choices, and he has never hurt his friends. On the contrary, his main work direction is to brainwash foreign wealthy businessmen who came to the east coast. He has a lot of works, is famous in the academic circle, and has a lot of theoretical discourse power (or hegemony), which is easy to convince people. Oleg Nareshkin asked him to be an advisor before, but he had basically been brainwashed by him. Now this guy talks about Russia's reform plan to everyone, completely ignoring his father's situation in Moscow. This shows this.
After all, everyone is serving the country, and there is no difference between good and bad!
The living room is decorated in antique. The complete set of mahogany furniture is excellent in materials and exquisitely carved. The floor is covered with exquisite handmade custom carpets, and there are curtains made of thin silk hangings hanging around. The theme pattern of the curtain is an ancient ladies, which makes Li Peng laugh secretly. Qian Qing, a guy with a hypocritical look, is afraid that it is not a tight reluctance inside.
"Everyone, in fact, there is nothing important about this party today. I recently received a commission from the Ministry of Culture, which is to compile primary and middle school textbooks for several counties under the Straits Management Committee, mainly in the field of ideological education. I have limited talent and different research directions, so I need the help of all friends." Qian Qing said while asking everyone to enjoy tea and snacks.
The Straits Management Committee currently has three districts: Henghai County, Danji County and Ceuta County, and there may be more in the future. The situation here is complicated, with ethnicity, religion, economy, etc., a lot of troubles and problems, and it will explode when ruled. The Straits Management Committee has held three meetings for this, and the focus of the discussion is how to manage it, especially when there is a main nation-state next to it, such as Morocco to Ceuta, Danji, Spain to Gibraltar, and how to maintain local stability so as not to fall into turmoil, which involves government energy.
The most symptom-and-root solution is naturally to immigrate. The roots of the local indigenous people were directly cut off. When Poles or other people lived in Tangi and Ceuta, how could the imams or mullahs deceive the locals into following them? So this is the most scheming method, no one.
However, immigration is not a matter of time, and the amount of funds required is also very large. At present, the Straits Management Committee does not have much money in hand, and the central government's allocation has not formed a fixed rule. Therefore, they can only immigrate on a small scale, and the entire process may last for decades.
For decades, generations, the Straits Management Committee cannot wait for so long! Therefore, they are preparing to continue to immigrate, and then develop a relatively low-cost assimilation method, which is education. The local government department has recognized this method and plans to expand it to Danze and other places, and allocated special funds to set up research and compile textbooks locally.
The East Coast governments who have grown up have given up. These people have fixed views on their three aspects and the cost of transformation is too high. It is better to target the next generation, which is lower in cost and faster in effect. Don’t underestimate this method. Young people from a certain Oriental Pearl have received such selected textbooks since childhood. After more than ten years of systematic education, they have become completely different types of people. This shows how powerful this trick is.
As a well-known domestic scholar, Qian Qing was entrusted by the government to take charge of colonial education, which is actually a very worthy task. It is reported that he has received 50,000 yuan in advance, so it is understandable that he recruits soldiers and horses. There should be many people willing to participate in this matter, which is both profitable and can establish good relations with the government. Why not do it? Therefore, after Qian Qing put forward a chore, several people immediately expressed their willingness to participate, and the others also had a look of intention on their faces, which was obviously quite tempting.
However, Li Peng was not very interested in this matter. He was not interested in these ghost tricks in the field of thought. He always felt that this was not what a powerful, civilized and rich country should do, and it was not like a gentleman, so he did not intend to take Qian Qing's words. What he was more interested in now was actually thinking about what impact the continental war would have on the East Coast. To be more precise, what benefits would it bring? In what way should the East Coast Republic build its own civilization circle and then lead the progress of world civilization.
This is a very big topic, enough to take up most of his time. For this reason, he even suspended his favorite folk song collection and creation, and devoted most of his business time to this matter. The "Prince Truth" where he currently works, said to the truth that he did not want to go to this newspaper, but the old man forced him to go there and provided him with great support without any advice, encouraging him to write a series of reportages. If he is interested, he can even publish a book by himself and explain his ideas in detail, which made Li Peng very grateful.
"Qian is very happy to give face to so many friends. In short, don't worry, the money you should pay is not a penny, and your name will also appear in the author column. This is a great opportunity to leave a name in history. You must not miss it." Qian Qing raised his teacup and greeted everyone. After a long time, he said with a smile: "In the European War, our country not only attacks militaryally but also gains economic benefits, but also cultural offensives are on the agenda. Everyone, the guns of soldiers are important, and they can kill enemies. Our pens are also important, and they can kill their hearts. Destroy the enemy's cultural confidence, let them look up to us, worship us, take pride in learning our knowledge, and use the way we think about problems as an instinct to make them agree with our values, so that our friends can have more, few enemies can make the country stable."
In fact, the water here is deep and hidden in the East Coast distribution system, which is the world's interests distribution system dominated by the East Coast. Those who do not agree with this system are either civilized people or enemies, and everyone can attack them. This can greatly reduce the maintenance cost of the "imperial system" of the East Coast and extend the glorious cycle of the "imperial system".
In addition, after ordinary people in Europe recognize and admire the East Coast culture, they will consciously or unconsciously beautify the East Coast in their minds, and at the same time they have a strong tendency to immigrate to the East Coast. East Coast people have long realized that gold, coal, and steel are resources, and intelligence is also resources, and it can even be said to be a very important resource. Strong harvesting of high intellectual resources from other countries is originally a move to weaken potential opponents, and at the same time they can enhance their own strength. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone. Don't be too happy.
Therefore, there is a factor that the East Coast government is compiling with cultural invasion wars while military attacks and economic plundering. Qian Qing and others compiled textbooks for overseas colonies, which is only one part of this series of cultural wars. There are many organizations similar to them, and as the East Coast people are in the smooth progress of military progress, Europeans will become less and less confident and reflect on themselves more and more. The final result can be imagined.
The soft power at the cultural level can sometimes be matched by dozens of teachers!
Of course, Li Peng also understood the truth, but he was not interested. He calculated all day long, and it was really boring. Geopolitics and industrial development could inspire his enthusiasm. Therefore, even though everyone was chatting enthusiastically, he was just perfunctory and occasionally asked a few questions by Qian Qing, so he had to deal with it. Overall, he spent most of his time drinking tea leisurely and tasted the Qian family's very famous dim sum [Zeroling Book Network]. The dim sum chef in his kitchen was a famous teacher hired at a high price. He had very good skills and it was not easy to come here, so it would be right to enjoy it.
Everyone discussed it seriously for an afternoon, and Li Peng felt drowsy when he heard it. Finally, it was past four o'clock and the discussion was over. Li Peng declined Qian Qing's invitation to stay for dinner together, went out in the Qian family's carriage, and headed to his old house. The family members basically went to Luoyang Prefecture, the new capital, and there was no one except a few long-term servants. They were very quiet. They just asked him to carefully consider his thoughts at night and see how to write a book.
