The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 578

They also felt that the name Jakarta was a bit awkward, and it would be different after changing to New Tangshan.Tangshan is the name given by overseas Chinese to the motherland. It is popular in Southeast Asia, and countless Chinese workers have their hometown in Tangshan.

The Tang character is of great significance in the Chinese world. Words such as Chinatown, Tangren, and Tangshan often appear in the Chinese population, and they have almost become religious-like names with a special feeling.

"Xin Tangshan represents not only that we are Chinese, but also different from our hometown. The new character represents the new life and the new Chinese world.

It's like bankrupt Europeans going to the Americas. They call Europe the Old World, and Europeans call the United States the New World. But whether it's the New World or the Old World, they are actually one and inseparable.

I think Nanhua and the motherland should also maintain this similar relationship.I am going to donate to build a big lighthouse in the port outside. I have thought about the name, so I will call it Xintang Lighthouse.The meaning is very simple, just like the Statue of Liberty outside the New York Harbor, but it must be higher and more magnificent than the Statue of Liberty!

The ships of the past, the Chinese with dreams, traveled from their hometowns to the South China Sea. As long as they see the towering lighthouse of New Tangshan, they will light up the hope in their hearts, and a whole new world is about to unfold for them!"

After speaking, Situ Nan closed his eyes, with infinite longing in his heart.He still remembers the indescribable complex feelings in his heart when he set foot on New York ten years ago and looked back at the Statue of Liberty.

After the shipwreck, he was moved by the Statue of Liberty, but he felt that something was still missing.Now he finally found it, that is the new Tangshan, the new Tangshan Lighthouse!

"Fuck!"

A burst of warm applause awakened Situ Nan from the surging conjecture. He opened his eyes and saw a smiling face that felt the same.

They are not only because of the name New Tangshan, but also because of Situ Nan's faint nostalgia, longing, confusion, determination, and hope.

New Tangshan, they will be the capital from now on. This is the positioning of the founders of South China.

"Okay! I'm not used to those awkward Malay names. I think we have to change the South China city to Chinese names in the future." Huang Sande smiled.

"Yes, we must maintain the Chinese culture and use our culture to assimilate the indigenous people, not like those Nyonyas, who can't even speak Chinese." Situ Nan nodded.

Speaking of culture, I touched the G point in the hearts of these people, and for a while I forgot to discuss the topic of transportation construction.

"There is a saying that there will be no China after Yashan. This is a bit extreme, but I think that after the Mongolian invasion, Chinese culture was indeed broken. The Zhu family suppressed cultural people and did not inherit Chinese culture well.

Not to mention the Qing Dynasty. Chinese culture was changed beyond recognition and the history books were revised. That is to say, only Aixinjueluo and the traitorous coat slaves dared to do it. Except for the tyrant of Qin Shihuang, no one in all dynasties dares to be so shameless!

But they are finished now, we don't need to discuss it anymore.However, inheriting and developing Chinese culture, especially the profound and profound culture of Han and Tang Dynasties, should be the unshirkable responsibility of our descendants.

Of course, after a thousand years, we can't find the splendid culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Many excellent things have been annihilated in the long river of history.Today, we are more or less influenced by Western culture, but we are not Westerners at our roots, and we do not believe in God.

The times force us to learn from the West, and we will certainly become more and more westernized in the future. These are all on the surface, just like I am proficient in English, eat steak, and live like an American, but deep down, I It rarely resonates with God's people!"

Situ Nan felt his heart, and he was completely open at this moment.

The future of South China's culture will definitely integrate the best of East and West. To put it bluntly, it is an awkward role standing in the middle. Only by digging out the essence of Chinese culture that resonates with all Chinese can support the continued development and growth of South China's culture.

In the bottom of my heart, Situ Nan never believed that the world in his previous life could effectively inherit Chinese culture. After several tossings, Chinese culture had already broken down several times.

Now there is a chance that Nanhua has appeared. He doesn't want to miss this opportunity, he wants to do something.Although Situ Nan hated Japan very much, he hoped that Nanhua would be like Japan, while Westernizing it, it would also retain its traditional culture and carry forward it.

In this regard, a few decades later, South Korea has also done a good job. Although the tricks are a little shameless, you can't be the attitude of others.

"What do you mean?" Situ Meideng looked at Situ Nan's eyes flashing light, he knew that this nephew must have many ideas in his heart.

"Grab people, grab things! What do Americans get from Europe, what do we get from the motherland?" Situ Nan said with a firm face.

Hearing what he said, everyone understood.They didn't know the word grabbing Situ Nan said, not grabbing, but rescue!

The Japanese and Europeans wantonly plundered Chinese cultural relics, and the Chinese themselves are destroying their own cultural relics. If history does not change, the more things left to the motherland, the more miserable those cultural treasures will end up, because some people will not cherish it!

Situ Nan can only force himself to be a shameless offspring. Since the eldest son doesn't cherish it, then Nanhua, the second child, should take away the things of the ancestor!

These are things that will happen in the future, but Situ Nan knows that there is a harmonious beast, and history will not and will never allow a turning point that is not beneficial to them.

Situ Nan, who was unreasonably worried about this, was helpless and shameless. He cleared his throat and said: "Maybe you don’t know that in recent years, the little emperor of Man’er who has been living in the Forbidden City has been selling national treasures and even the national treasures in the palace. Secretly transferred to the concession.

The guarding soldiers ignored them, and the court ladies and eunuchs participated, and there were a bunch of thieves in the horrible Forbidden City.The treasures accumulated by our ancestors over a century, now there is only one empty house left."

Situ Nan said angrily.

His words caused a wow, and everyone was filled with indignation.

"No! This thing can't be forgotten!" Huang Sande shouted, "Wenxiu, even if you send an army to grab it, you have to grab it back."

"Then we have become the invading powers?" He Wenxiu said lightly, her lips slightly cracked, and pointed at Situ Nan Road, "Maybe someone has already preempted it?"

Oh!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, watching Situ Nan suddenly realized.With Situ Nan's invaluable and non-greedy personality, since he knew the cultural relics of the Forbidden City had been lost, he would naturally not stand idly by.

"Haha! I do have something in my hand, and I will donate it later, but I think the treasure is dead, and talent is important. The environment of the motherland is not good, but there are a large number of academic masters, they are all treasures, just right It can teach Nanhua. Speaking of which, the Chinese world in Nanyang is really a cultural desert!"

Situ Nan said with emotion.

"Yes. We should indeed attract more talents, especially those with real materials. The environment of the motherland is not good, too many people are depressed, and we just provide them with the opportunity to show their ambitions, I believe As long as we are sincere, many people will be willing to come to South China."

Minister of Education and Health Wu Liande agreed. He paused for a while and looked at Situ Nan expectantly, "However, after discussing for several days, it seems that there is nothing to say about investing in education? There is no university, no research unit, and people will come. Turn around and leave?"

Nanhua’s funding is indeed very tight. The iron and steel industry, transportation plans, social reforms, and other issues have not yet been resolved. It is really difficult for Wu Liande to win that few funding.

Meihua is rich, but it is stingy with education.In fact, they are not stingy with education. Meihua has built a lot of literacy classes, night schools, and vocational schools, but they are used for internal digestion, and even fewer are willing to allocate to the Ministry of Education and Health.

Chapter 127 The Chief Designer's Crazy Railway Plan

The ambitious Wu Liande will establish 5 universities, 20 technical institutes, 500 middle schools, and 10,000 elementary schools within 5 years, which can be used to enroll 500,000 young people every year.

Of course, all of these schools are Chinese schools. In addition to schools, there are a large number of hospital construction plans. Wu Liande is embarrassed to mention it.

Because the money spent is too much, and the South China government, which relies on borrowing to live on, cannot invest too much money in it, the only hope is Situ Nan.

This big rich man lost his roots and did not have as much money as the South China Ministry of Finance allocated to the Ministry of Education.

Looking at Wu Liande's sullen look, the faces of the Nanhua executives were blank, they were all looking at Situ Nan.

The look in his eyes seemed to say: "You can handle this!"

"Let's talk more about this issue!" Situ Nan smiled faintly, not feeling Wu Liande at all. Regarding Nanhua's education, he had some plans to discuss with Wu Liande.

"Okay." Seeing Situ Nan's cheerful face, Wu Liande smiled and nodded, and he was relieved, knowing that his plan has a good chance of being realized.

"Going back to the question at the beginning, let's continue to discuss Nanhua's transportation construction now!" Situ Nan said with a serious expression: "Transportation construction is urgent! In the next 20 to 30 years, Nanhua will build roads, railways, highways, and highways. Roads and wharves cannot be missing.

I am very obsessed with Nanhua’s current transportation construction. Take our capital Xintangshan as an example. Except for a railway to Bandung, it is only two hundred kilometers short, which cannot meet the needs of future construction.

At least from Merak in the westernmost point to Bali in the eastern part, there should be a railway around Java with a mileage of 5,000 kilometers. The whole Java is connected, and the four cities of Xintangshan, Bandung, Semarang and Surabaya, the capital, should be established as hubs. Railway network.

The construction of this railway not only greatly promoted the economic take-off of South China, but also allowed us to firmly control the entire island and let the rich Java island resources be used by us.

The Americans built the Western Railway, which made the huge United States today. The huge American steel industry was built because of the railway.This is a good example. Otherwise, what will we build the steel industry for in the future?

It is used to make railroad tracks, railway bridges, and build railways to promote the development of a series of industries such as steel, cement, and machinery. This is the fastest and most practical way for Nanhua to rise, and there is no other way."
