Chapter 276 Ai Zhongtang
69, the fastest update of British civil servants!
Alan Wilson felt like he was running a race against time, matching the lyrics of a song along the way, "I have crossed mountains and seas..."
Hurrying along the way, I finally returned to New Delhi. Although I was exhausted, I still pretended to be nonchalant. Facing the greetings from other colleagues in the Governor’s Palace, I still answered, “Traveling in Myanmar is very easy, but life is quite boring. , I just want to come back to look for a job, any news?"
"There is news. It seems that an American broadcasting company is going to shoot a documentary, and several celebrities will come with them." Edel looked at Alan Wilson, who was not looking for an easy journey, and said suspiciously, "The commissioner originally wanted to refuse. , but there was no reason to refuse."
"After all, the United States and us are allies." Alan Wilson snorted, expressing his views on this kind of alliance in a straightforward tone. With regard to the unprofitable personality of trust imperialism, who is fooled by the discovery of conscience to improve the understanding of the United States about British India?
"One more thing is that the governor should take office at the end of the year. It will be less than three months from now." Edel mentioned another thing, which he obviously thinks is more important.
General Mountbatten tried his best and exhausted all methods, and finally he was going to come to British India to take office.
Being able to delay for such a long time should be thanks to Alan Wilson's work. It wasn't for his hard work in British India and maintaining a stable situation. London would never endure such a long time, and it would have pushed Mountbatten over.
The extreme heat of the South Asian subcontinent has passed, and now it is almost October, and it will be less than three months until the end of the year.
What Alan Wilson can guarantee is that the current British India is much more stable than in the same period in history. After all, it is a clean-up movement and a crime-fighting movement. Work is to support Gandhi's hunger strike to save food, and to call for drought.
In the past six months, the Governor's Office has tossed British India up and down in all directions through meticulous operations. If there is anything that British India is interested in now, it is undoubtedly interested in rest.
In the past six months, things have happened one after another. The Governor's Mansion is calling for this and calling for that. Although people in the subcontinent have high immunity, they also feel physically and mentally exhausted after waves of chicken blood.
This kind of mentality is the same as that of Alan Wilson. He also wants to rest now, and even envies the untouchables who are ignored wherever he goes. It is estimated that countless things that have happened in the subcontinent in the past six months have been kept out of this class.
The untouchables make up as much as one-sixth of India's population. Although they are Indians, they are excluded from any caste according to the requirements of the law because of the sins they committed in their previous lives. They are dark-skinned, discreet, submissive, and poorly dressed, making them easily recognizable.
The reason why they are called untouchables is that other Indians are afraid of contacting them and being defiled. If they come into contact with them, they must perform a body washing ceremony. The footprints of the untouchable also desecrate the streets of Brahmin quarters.
When an untouchable meets a caste Indian in the street, the former must stand by the side of the road lest his shadow tarnish the latter.
No Indian of any caste shall eat with the untouchable, nor drink the water he draws, or use the utensils he touches. Untouchables have no right to enter the temple, and their children are barred from enrolment.
They are scumbags until death. After death their bodies cannot enter public cremation grounds. Due to poverty, the untouchables were unable to purchase enough wood for cremation, and some of the remains that were not fully cremated were thrown into the river or buried in the ground.
Perhaps the only privilege of the untouchables is the freedom to eat whatever they want in Hinduism, which promotes vegetarianism.
Abolishing the caste system before leaving British extradition is actually the most profitable way if you want to gain fame.
However, Alan Wilson has his own ethics. He will not touch any issues related to the caste system. He must respect the fine traditions of the subcontinent for thousands of years.
While doing its best to maintain the stability of British India, because of the special status of British India in the colonial system of the British Empire, other surrounding colonies also sent telegrams to report local news.
In the telegram of British Malaya, it was stated whether to adopt a unified case law for the formulation of laws and regulations for the two major ethnic groups, or to formulate a bill specially used in British Malaya to adapt to the local national conditions.
British Malaya is the new base camp reserved for overseas civil servants by the cabinet secretary. Of course, Malaya’s telegrams have also been known by New Delhi. Now that the British have just resumed the rule of British Malaya, many government functions have not yet been fully restored. Promulgating the decree is just an idea, and has not yet begun to be practiced.
This was also known to Alan Wilson who had just returned to New Delhi. It happened that Sir Barron knew that his assistant was a graduate of the Oriental Academy and wanted to hear his opinion.
"I don't recommend using local bills, because different bills have different effects in different places." Faced with Sir Barron's question, Alan Wilson expressed his views frankly.
"Tell me your opinion. I am going to have a talk with Sir Edward in the telegram." Sir Baron said noncommittally, "The issue of British Malaya is a matter of great concern to all overseas civil servants. Of course we also Want to lay the groundwork."
"I heard that Xiangjiang implements the Daqing law, that's good." Allen Wilson replied without thinking, "As for the peace believers, just implement the religious law. The religious law governs the peace believers, and the Qing law governs everything Non-peace believers are strictly distinguished by blood, and we will never promote national integration."
"Actually, there is no problem. After all, we are a country that follows the case law." Sir Barron didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but nodded in agreement out of the tradition of the British Empire.
Xiangjiang in the British era followed the British practice of its customary laws, but announced that the local Chinese would still govern in accordance with local regulations, so this happened. It was also a crime of murder. If the criminal was not Chinese, he would be sentenced according to British law. Hanging, but if the criminal is Chinese, he will be beheaded according to the "Law of the Qing Dynasty", because the sovereignty belongs to China, and it is natural to use the "Law of the Qing Dynasty".
However, the group in Xiangjiang that most upholds the law of the Qing Dynasty is actually the local elite and rich. The reason is that a man who has three wives and four concubines is a man's dream. It is legal to have a few more concubines. Why should we oppose it?
However, according to the teachings of the Middle East, this problem can also be solved. You can marry four wives and three wives and four concubines. It's a 50-50 split at this point.
Alan Wilson could even imagine that British Malaya might attract some nouveau riche who realized men's dreams to immigrate and contribute to the local economic development.
Even an advertisement sound appeared in my mind, "My friend, do you want to find the happiness of a man? Immigrate to British Malaya and be a real man!"
"As for the local textbooks, the textbooks must be in our hands, and all the lessons of British India should be avoided." Sir Barron stared at Alan Wilson with burning eyes, full of tone that the organization valued you very much.
"Leave it to me. I have learned it before. There is no problem in editing a set of textbooks." Alan Wilson said as a top student of the Oriental College.
Sir Barron nodded in satisfaction. This was also his purpose. Alan Wilson's assistant is good in everything, but he is too hardworking, which makes him a boss very disappointed. He just uses other things to keep the assistant busy. He can manage the affairs of British India well.
"Sir, Myanmar's currency reform has been finalized. Burgess and I have persuaded the local leaders of Myanmar." Alan Wilson played a hard-working nature, which made Sir Barron's wishful thinking discounted.
In fact, the difficulty of colonial textbooks is not high, and you can directly use the textbooks from the British mainland. The only thing that requires energy is history, which happens to be no difficulty for Alan Wilson.
High-achieving students of the Oriental Academy can copy directly from the history textbooks in their memory. What needs to be modified is the territory map of the Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, and the rest can be basically used.
This is about things that hadn’t happened in the time period of 1946, such as the antagonism with the Soviet Union. The border maps of the Yuan and Ming dynasties have not yet extended the border to the north for this reason.
Therefore, in the territorial map of the history discipline, the northern border of the Yuan Dynasty must not cross Lake Baikal. The Great Wall painting is enough for the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty map used is probably similar to the Qin Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty map is before the Qing Dynasty eliminated the Zhungeer Empire. The territory map, note that the rest of these two points can be used.
If Alan Wilson had a crooked mind about China, he could have sent the history textbooks after the opening of the map to the Soviet Union before the large-scale aid construction. He knew the cultural tsar Fultseva.
Therefore, it is best not to have conflicts between China and Britain. Alan Wilson will not be merciful because of past memories.
Alan Wilson took over the education work in British Malaya as a high-achieving oriental student. Inciting the confrontation between the colonial ethnic groups must start from the baby.
At the same time, he sent a telegram to Xiangjiang, and hurriedly sent a copy of the Daqing Law to British Malaya, and sent a telegram to Aden to ask for peaceful teaching.
"I'll always come up with a pseudonym, otherwise people will look at the textbooks and see that it's an English name, and they might be conflicted in their hearts." Alan Wilson bit the tip of the pen, thought hard and wrote the pseudonym, signing it as Ai Zhongtang...
