Volume of Changning Kingdom: Section 57 Touring the Country
Cui Yunhong nodded slightly. For Anna, this was an age-old problem. Even though their parents were related, they had a blood feud. How should he answer?
At this moment, the mountain wind stopped flowing. He looked at the sea of clouds in the distance and could not give an answer for a long time.
Finally he broke the silence: "I think the Huang family will never forgive your father. However, you don't have to be sad about this. You are who you are, whether you live for the Huang family or your father.
, live a good life for yourself.”
"You are right. But since I am Grandma Changning, it is my duty to protect the people on this land, just like Ultraman protects the people on earth..." Anna said this and looked at Yunhai Lin.
In the north where Gao is, his bright eyes are full of determination...
He Ying has had enough of the Emperor's addiction in Changning Country this week. Strictly speaking, Changning Country is the first country that the Senate currently has diplomatic relations with. As Foreign Minister, He Ying actually faces the British and Dutch when dealing with them.
He Ying, a businessman of the East India Company in these countries, often laughed at himself that he was more of a representative of Party A's company than a foreign affairs minister, and he talked more with them about commercial and trade matters.
He Ying had a lot to talk about in Changning Country. Changning Country's election system, government structure, territorial defense, measures to calm the people, customs and taxation, industrial and agricultural industry development and other major issues. He would often talk late at night with Huang Qilin in his study...
…
After Cui Yunhong returned from Changning Mountain, he took He Ying to inspect the coastline of Changning Country. He Ying has been busy with state affairs and socializing since arriving in Sabah. He has not yet visited the tropical coastal scenery of Borneo, and is also taking advantage of the inspection.
In the name of relaxing, He Ying declined the Huang family's boat ride and took the ketch "Beishan" that he had used here. Huang Shidong came to the "Beishan" to act as a guide for He Ying and Cui Yunhong and explain the journey along the way.
Customs and customs.
The fleet first went all the way south to inspect the Siya Oil Exploration Base. He Ying cordially expressed condolences to a group of veterans who were based in Siya, and sent condolence gifts to the workers at the exploration site. The Siya Base kept ringing "Long Live the Senate".
Shouts.
Leaving Brunei Bay, the patrol fleet headed north and quickly crossed the southern boundary of Changning Country, which is now renamed Shuangxi River. It moved slowly amidst the beautiful scenery of blue sea, blue sky and sunny beaches. Every time it arrived at a Chinese village in Changning Country, there were
Local people came out to welcome the arrival of the fleet.
The country of Changning is very small. It is only 180 kilometers from the Shuangxi River in the south to the "End of the World" in Kudat City in the north - Shuang Er Cape. The further north it becomes, the sparsely populated it becomes - Sulu pirates often invade this place.
The originally prosperous Chinese walled city has been in decline for many years, and this area is actually in a semi-inhabited and desolate state. After the founding of Changning, the Huang family prepared to revitalize this Chinese ancestral land of Longxing.
After arriving at Cape Bi'er in the northernmost part of Borneo, He Ying was a little tired of the beautiful scenery of the tropical islands, so he decided to return to Sabah to handle the last remaining matters, and then returned to Lingao to write report materials.
"Xiang He, I want the fleet to go 20 kilometers further north. There is an island I want you to take a look at."
Huang Shidong knew that there were several islands of different sizes to the north of Shuangerjiao, but they were all uninhabited desert islands. Even the Sulu pirates would not stay there. He didn't know what Chief Cui wanted to see the island for.
He Ying also thought that there was nothing interesting about Xiaopo Island and it did not produce any supplies. However, since it was a request made by the elders, He Ying could not object, so the ship sailed towards Balangbangan Island in the north.
The territory of Changning Kingdom along the coastline plain is about 3,000 square kilometers. The actual territory consists of several towns along the coast and some villages in the interior.
The two outlying islands located in the northernmost tip of Borneo, Banggi Island (u ) and Balang Bangan Island (u ), are unpopular tourist spots that Chinese tourists rarely visit. The larger Banggi Island covers an area of 440 square kilometers.
It has 20,000 residents and focuses on authentic tourism that showcases the local original ecological features. The smaller Balangbangan Island on the left has a land area of only 91 square kilometers. Even in the 21st century, it was in an undeveloped primitive island state until 2019.
Sabah has only become inhabited by mining sea sand on Balangbangan Island.
The "Beishan" sailed around the coast of Balangbangan Island. This uninhabited island has winding and deep bays and extensive coral reefs. The sailors of the "Beishan" carefully steered the ship to avoid running aground on the rocks. He Ying was using it.
Observing Balangbangan Island through binoculars.
He Ying watched for a long time and finally couldn't help but said: "I mean Cui Ji, what on earth do we want to see when we come all the way to see this desert island? This island looks quite ordinary. In my impression, this
The island doesn’t produce any minerals, right?”
The Senate has long been coveting various mining areas in Southeast Asia. Silia's oil and gas, Labuan's thermal coal, and Palawan's nickel-chromium ore have all been on the Senate's development plan for a long time.
As the Foreign Minister, He Ying is also quite familiar with the conditions in these mining areas, but the Balangbangan Island that Cui Yunhong specially brought him to is really unfamiliar.
"Yes, this island is unremarkable to begin with. I have probably seen it before. This island is very gentle. There are only a few hundred meters of hills in the southwest, and there are not many fresh water resources. There are coral reefs and shoals around the island.
It was not suitable for building a port, so the island was not developed much until the 21st century..."
"Then you still take me here to fuck?" He Ying became more and more puzzled and put the telescope in his hand heavily on the table.
"This is the island that best meets my needs..." Cui Yunhong said with a smile.
"I want to make Balangbangan Island my private island..."
He Ying was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked back at Balangbangan Island. He held the side of the boat and said as if talking to himself: "It's time for the land policy to come to an end..."
"Nowadays, there are probably many elders who have this idea of going to Southeast Asia to colonize..."
Cui Yunhong's words are true. In relevant discussions within the Senate, many senators have already revealed their desire to have their own private territories on non-key islands in Southeast Asia.
"All land belongs to the Senate. This is a basic national policy!" He Ying emphasized.
"Whether it is the core territory of the mainland or the land ownership and sovereignty of overseas colonization, it belongs to the Senate. There is no doubt about this. What I want to say is the permanent property rights of the Senate on these islands..."
With the start of the Senate's mainland strategy and southward development, it is foreseeable that more and more land will come into the hands of the Senate in the future, followed by the use rights of these newly acquired lands and the original land holders.
The issue of rights confirmation. The relationships involved in the land in the Old World are complicated and involve many internal senate factions. However, there is not much disagreement about the use rights of unclaimed land in Nanyang and the New World, whether it is the senators or naturalized citizens.
, all encourage them to go out to colonize and enjoy loose freehold rights distribution quotas - the initial risks and costs of overseas land development are much higher than those of mainland developed land. Only higher freehold rights distribution returns can stimulate large-scale spontaneous immigration
In this way, the tide expands China’s living space.
"Didn't there be a meeting where the issue of granting fiefdoms to senators on islands in Southeast Asia was discussed?" Cui Yunhong did not attend that meeting, but the discussion on this plan continued for a long time after the meeting.
"Well, the general idea is that the elders can acquire non-resource islands of less than 100 square kilometers in the Nanyang region to establish their own fiefdoms. The ownership and sovereignty of the islands still belong to the state. The elders can implement limited autonomy based on the common program on their own islands. Of course
, the senators cannot engage in anti-human behavior and (cover) actions against the Senate on the private island.”
"If there is fruit, there is fruit...according to the common program, isn't the Senate composed of us senators the same fruit? When did a higher being come up over our heads again?" Cui Yunhong said jokingly.
"You know what I mean. The Senate is very wary of the danger of a senator walking alone. You also know how miserable Emperor Zhao and the owner of Luzhuang have been."
"Although they occupy a small area now, they still have a lot of resources that can absorb radiation. Looking at these islands in the Southeast Asia under 100 square kilometers, I am afraid that there are thousands of them in Indonesia alone. Even if the elders have one island each
, the total does not exceed 50,000 square kilometers, and they are still small islands with no resources. I still don’t believe they can make more trouble than the Senate Center on the mainland?"
"I'm afraid that all the elders will go and build their own private islands, and their hearts will be scattered..."
"Haha, don't look at it. Everyone wants to have their own private island now. If they really want to build it, I don't think many have the ability..." Cui Yunhong said disdainfully.
He Ying remembered that there used to be open space in the courtyard of his unit for employees to grow vegetables and flowers. At first, many people responded by digging the ground and watering the ground every day. It was very lively. After a month, after the freshness wore off, there were only a few retired people left.
The old employees were still growing vegetables, while others had left the land to dry out. He Ying began to wonder what Cui Yunhong wanted to do on the island.
"Cui Ji, what do you want to do on this island? This island does meet the requirements of a fiefdom. It is less than 100 square kilometers, but you also know that the Senate will not invest any resources in the construction of your private island.
, even armed protection may not be provided, and the conditions on this island are so poor..."
"If the conditions are not so bad, the Senate wouldn't be willing to give it up!" Cui Yunhong expressed her thoughts.
"So you want to copy that famous neighborhood?!" He Ying laughed, realizing that this was not surprising to Cui Yunhong.
"Why, you find it incredible?"
"That's hard to say." He Ying shook her head, "I can quite understand your mood."
"We gave up the modern life of the 21st century and gave up everything to come to the 17th century, isn't it just to realize the most bizarre and least attainable dream that we had in our hearts in the original time and space?"
Cui Yunhong's words seemed to touch something deep in He Ying's heart, and he couldn't help but nod.
"What's the name of your island?"
"Yunhong Island..."
"You're quite direct - just use your name."
"Nono, it's not my name, it's cloud, rainbow, rainbow above the clouds." Cui Yunhong smiled, "Our names will be forgotten soon, but place names will not..."
Cui Yunhong talked about the future development plan here with great interest: the tourism industry here will account for the majority. It has large white soft beaches and gorgeous shallow coral reefs, which can attract a large number of tourists.
The film and television entertainment industry will occupy a place. The island provides a relaxed film and television production environment. Requirements like mosaic will not appear on the island. This will attract many film and television companies to settle here.
…
"This is a utopia." After hearing Cui Yunhong's idea, He Ying was not optimistic about the future of the island. To put it bluntly, these things are the cultural life needs that can only be generated after the productivity is highly developed and people are generally wealthy. I am afraid that when Cui Yunhong was alive,
It's just a fantasy.
"Utopias don't end well." Cui Yunhong smiled and continued He Ying's unspeakable words, "But I still want to do something about it. The land use policy of the Senate has not been implemented. I can also be regarded as overseas.
Let’s set a precedent for the practice of territorial expansion.”
"I can support you on this. I also want to build a South China Sea island here and enjoy life to the fullest, hahaha."
Many years later, Sabah in Borneo was known as the "Land Under the Wind". It was a natural and peaceful place without the intrusion of typhoons, and people lived peacefully and comfortably. And at the northernmost tip of Borneo, Yunhong Island, under the coconut trees on the seaside
Below are pairs of lovers holding hands; beauties in swimsuits stroll on the beach and bathe in the breeze and sunshine; billboards of movie companies stand beside the coastal road; sports cars of handsome and fashionably dressed beauties pass under the billboards, startling the jungle.
Birds in the sky. People no longer remember the names of any of the elders, they only know that this is the Island of Clouds and Rainbows.
