The British dockworkers worked around the clock and finally unloaded the agricultural products from more than a dozen large ships. Bags of flour, wheat, rye, chunks of cheese, barrels of butter, and bottles of maple syrup. There were also bottles of maple syrup. There were rules everywhere. If the dockworkers couldn't buy the goods at a very low price, then it would be difficult to guarantee the rate of damage during transportation.
If it was potatoes shipped from Ireland, everyone's demand was actually limited. Flour, cheese, butter, and maple syrup, which were easy to store for a long time, inspired the British dockworkers to buy them at low prices. Coupled with large pieces of cheap beef, the various shops in the dockworkers' residential area immediately became difficult.
First in London, then in the surrounding cities. The shock wave of cheap beef spread at an alarming speed. As soon as the shock wave spread throughout Great Britain, there was a fierce reaction within the British Parliament. Lloyd? George was already the Member of Parliament for Richmond, the provincial capital of British Columbia. After England dissolved the new Canadian Federation and divided it into several provinces and incorporated it into the Kingdom of England, Lloyd? George took almost the entire population of Carnarvon with him to British Columbia. Lloyd Webber, Jr. Lloyd? George also successfully became the member of parliament for the provincial capital, Richmond, and had great influence in the entire province of British Columbia.
"We still adopt the position of free trade with the world. Why do we have to impose trade barriers on our own agricultural products? Is England no longer a country within itself? "Lloyd, the political power of the Liberal Party, said. Lloyd? George's voice was powerful.
The faces of the Conservatives on the opposite side of the Liberal Party were ugly, and the Liberals were not much better. There was a distance of two swords between the two sides, and there was a sword rack for carrying long swords outside the Parliament. Many years ago, when there was such a heated debate, the MPs were angry and would resolve their resentment through duels. Now the Conservative MPs wanted to take out their pistols and kill Lloyd? George, the hateful pervert, with a random gun.
The expression of the Conservative MPs made Lloyd? George felt a surge of joy in his heart. Every time he saw the faces of these people, the senator would often think of the murdered former Colonial Minister, Cecil Anderson. Rhodes. This man died for Britain. Although his murder was committed by the British upper echelons, in the eyes of Cecil Rhodes, Rhodes. After Rhodes's death, his inheritance still went to the British Treasury, giving the shareholders of Kimberley Diamond Company a better opportunity. So Lao He? George really couldn't respect the Conservative Party from the bottom of his heart. He believed that the Conservative Party had something to do with the unsolved murder mastermind. After admiring the ferocious faces of the Conservative Party MPs for a moment, Lloyd George thought to himself. George continued, "In the process of the migration, the Conservative Party has already benefited greatly. The manors of many nobles increased in size, and the lands of many large agricultural companies increased in size. Your appetites will never be full. Do you want to eat the entire universe? Was it so difficult to leave a little space for the poor to settle down? The position of the Liberal Party has never changed. Maintain the trade liberalization system of the British Empire and eliminate all trade barriers within the British Empire. Perhaps there were people who felt the impact of this attack, and those who were attacked were definitely not poor. Everyone, those people are definitely not poor! "
With one of the party stars leading the charge, the Liberals attacked the Conservatives fiercely. The relationship between the Conservative Party and the big financial groups was simulated, but not all of them were ruthless characters who would eat the poor without a frown. After such a fierce attack, some of them also felt that they could not support certain people in the party. In the end, the doubts about the impact were temporarily put to rest. Just when the MPs thought that time would pass forever and the market was still peaceful, a new wave of impact came. Whiskey companies in Scotland sued the North American provinces for 'smuggling' whiskey to Great Britain. The Conservatives and the Liberals began to represent different interests and began a new round of struggle within Parliament.
While the British people were making a fuss, the Min dynasty was not quiet. When the representatives of the North American Department of Agriculture entered Beijing, they immediately began to move. Everyone's demand was very simple. They wanted to abolish the food ban on the original United States and allow the original United States agricultural products to be transported to Asia. The Ministry of Agriculture was not monolithic. Of course, there were people who supported the demands of some provinces, but there were also people who did not support it. After learning that some provinces had put forward their opinions, North America immediately expressed strong opposition. "They are provinces of the Min dynasty. Aren't our North American provinces also provinces of the Min dynasty?"
Many of the cadres in North America came from the army, and it was very easy for everyone to find connections. Therefore, everyone went the way of the Military Commission. They did not ask their old comrades in the Military Commission to come forward to support them. They only asked their old comrades in the Military Commission to help them have a chance to meet the Military Governor Vaize and tell him the grievances of North America in person.
Of course, Vézé knew the problems of North America, and he was not personally opposed to the export of North American agricultural products. However, there were many provinces involved in this matter, and Vézé did not want to make the decision alone. If things were still the same as before, what would happen after Vézé's death? Wouldn't the people fighting for such a powerful position have to fight among themselves first?
Therefore, at the Standing Committee, Vézé only briefly talked about the North American provinces coming to find a solution to the problem. He wanted to see if everyone had their own ideas. Just when Vézé thought that everyone might pass the buck to each other, Prime Minister Wang Haiyang spoke. "If we want to solve it, we can only hold a national food conference! And the deputy governors in charge of food production in each province must attend the meeting. "
Wang Haiyang's opinion was a very serious approach, and Vézé was very supportive. They were all smart people, and no one objected to such a serious solution to the problem. Just when Vézé thought it was possible to implement this matter, Shen Xin said, "Based on this incident, it is time for the regional center set up in Yoto to complete its mission."
Shen Xin's suggestion not only made the other members of the Standing Committee change their expressions, but also Vézé felt a little shocked. The purpose of the operation center established in Yoto was to determine the territories of each province and to solve the problem of unity throughout North America. In a sense, it was the concept of a regional commander. If this center was abolished, the highest administrative units in North America would become 30 provinces. The Min dynasty would become nearly 80 provinces under the leadership of the central government.
"This matter … I think it can be considered." Vézé could not answer immediately. After all, this matter did not require the intervention of the people, and the Standing Committee could solve it. Because the North American regional center in Yoto was only an administrative body, not a power body.
"I agree!" Wang Haiyang immediately expressed his opinion after a little thought. For the prime minister, the joint agency of 30 provinces was a very annoying existence. Now that the division of the North American administrative regions was basically over, such an existence was no longer necessary. Not to mention that this time the agricultural problem made Wang Haiyang very unhappy. The area this time was not the whole of North America. The agricultural products of the six provinces purchased from the United Kingdom had been sold to Asia for many years, and the provinces in Asia had no objections. Even if there were objections, they had long been used to it.
The Standing Committee all thought it was feasible. After the proposal, everyone decided to take it to the Politburo meeting for discussion. Everyone had different ideas, but everyone felt that this matter was satisfactory. Some members hated too strong local forces, and some members felt that an organization that unified the whole of North America was a source of chaos. The response at the Politburo meeting was unanimous.
In April 1895, when the national provincial food work conference was held, Vézé received news from the Organization Department. Everyone had long coveted the positions of the 30 provinces. After the unified agency in Yoto was abolished, a large number of comrades with political will hoped to fight for higher positions.
Everyone faced the world in their own way. At the same time, they wanted to be promoted, and at the same time wanted to make a fortune. Everyone took a different path. For example, Wang Shizhen, who continued to work in Hungary, also hoped to be recognized through his contributions and get more. However, he did not use his connections to find a way. Wang Shizhen thought that many people went the ordinary path. They thought that external conditions were decisive. They ignored the internal factors of affairs. For example, Hungary, where Wang Shizhen was still responsible for investigation and research. The upper class of the country looked different, but in fact, there was only a little content. On the contrary, the middle and lower classes of Hungary were pregnant with countless possibilities.
After participating in the public debate in Budapest, Wang Shizhen suddenly became very popular among a group of young Hungarians. These young people were born in the middle class. Their parents had a certain amount of land, or their families had a relatively stable job in the city. Their goal was to become a good farmer or a doctor, a judge, a civil servant, a lawyer, a teacher, and other mainstream social forces after learning knowledge at university. However, these people without exception found that their ideals were very different from the reality of Hungary.
The Hungarian Great Plain was rich in products, but the fate of the country's lower classes was that there was no spare land in the four seas, and farmers starved to death. It was not until they listened to Wang Shizhen's debate that the curtain covering this sad world was lifted a little bit, and they were finally able to peep at the cold reality behind the curtain.
After interacting with these young people for a while, Wang Shizhen also admitted that his previous judgment of Hungary was wrong. The country did not lack revolutionaries, nor did it lack a sense of justice. However, the country lacked the understanding of revolution. After Wang Shizhen's investigation, he found that the political books that were easy to find in China were nowhere to be found in Hungary. The political ideas that were forced to study in junior high school in China were even more unknown in Hungary. It was not that Hungary adopted a position of resistance or denial to the revolution, but that the people of this country had no idea how far the revolution had developed in the world.
Wang Shizhen made an application to the Central Committee of the Party, hoping to send some comrades who understood Hungarian to translate the revolutionary books of the Min dynasty into Hungarian. In addition, they could also sponsor some progressive Hungarian students to study in the universities of the Min dynasty.
This request also caused a response in the Central Committee of the Party. Chairman Shen Xin put forward his own opinion, "Our Min dynasty has pushed our country to the present height through the revolution. If other backward countries also learn the revolution, will the advantages of our Min dynasty be … offset? If the United States had also carried out our revolution, I think we would also have won this war, but the price would have been too high to be acceptable. "
This was Shen Xin's sincerity. Although the other committee members could not immediately understand, they were inexplicably moved. Everyone thought that the Min dynasty was the most powerful and advanced country in the world. This feeling of bullying the weak was too good. Helping other countries rise for no reason was not a good thing for the Min dynasty in any way.
In the distant North America, Qi Rui was attending the last meeting of the North American Integration Department in Tokyo. The head of the Integration Department was in a somewhat depressed mood. The governors of the North American provinces were in a relatively happy mood, and some were relatively depressed. On the whole, different interests determine different attitudes. For example, the governors and secretaries of the original six North American provinces were very happy.
