Chapter 2815
Back then, the Travelers decided to use "Haihan" as their national name, which represented the group's recognition and inheritance of Han culture. However, due to objective reasons, the history of the Haihan clan has been very vague in subsequent official historical records. existence.
Such a highly developed civilization possesses many black technologies that transcend the times, but it is unclear about its origins. This is obviously not a reasonable situation.
At first, the time travelers emphasized that they were from a country established by overseas Han people. However, as the navigation industry gradually developed, people would sooner or later discover that there was no such fictitious country in the world, and the time travelers had difficulty understanding their origins. Justify yourself. Therefore, the executive committee later decided to obscure the origins of the time-travelers, only claiming to be "descendants of Han people wandering overseas" and no longer emphasizing their specific origins and past experiences.
Although it seems to be a cover-up, such blurring has its benefits. Since there was no clear official statement, the uninformed people and the literati with official instructions began to organize public opinion together and gradually deified the origins of the Chuanzhong.
If you change the object, this method of constructing god worship may not work. However, Haihan has been expanding rapidly since the founding of the People's Republic of China. In just two or three decades, the achievements made are obvious to all, whether it is politics, military, technology, or Culture, education, trade, finance, Haihan's strength is reflected in almost all perceivable fields.
The rapid rise of this emerging empire will naturally be attributed to its extraordinary ability to travel through time. As the highest authority in the empire, the Executive Committee's authority has been infinitely elevated, which coincides with the need to stabilize the empire's power structure.
When ordinary people begin to regard the Executive Committee as gods, then any official statement about the origins of time travelers will be easier to accept. The Executive Committee can also take this opportunity to further instill concepts about national consciousness into the people.
Before Bai Letong joined the Ministry of Culture and Education, relevant textbooks were already being compiled. However, it was not until last year that initial results were finally achieved, and it passed the review of the executive committee and was included in the nationally promoted cultural and educational projects.
One of Bai Letong's tasks during this trip is to preach the key points of the new textbooks to various government schools. He originally arranged to notify the heads of each school to hold a meeting in Fushan County, but since this trip has already arrived at Dengzhou Middle School, he just took care of the matter and thought of it as a small start for Dengzhou Middle School.
In a short time, all the teachers in the school gathered in the conference room. There were not many people, including Zhao Pu, there were only about ten people in total.
Bai Letong asked his entourage to take out the textbook samples he had brought and distribute them to everyone present.
"This is a new textbook revised by the Ministry of Culture and Education last year. Compared with the previous version, there are some changes. Let me briefly introduce them to you."
Bai Letong also had a book in front of him. He first instructed the teachers present to turn to the designated page, and then began to explain: "Everyone, please read, this section is about the origin of Haihan Kingdom. The original expression is 'Haihan The country is thousands of miles east of China. It was founded by the Han people. The five hundred elders are descendants of the country. They founded the country in Yulin Bay, Yazhou, Hainan Island. The country is still named Haihan. After revision, this description has been omitted. , changed to 'Five hundred elders are all capable people in the world, and were ordered by heaven to establish the Haihan Kingdom in Yulin Bay, Yazhou, Hainan Island'."
Zhao Pu asked carefully and tentatively: "Does this change mean to ignore the existence of the Haihan Kingdom overseas?"
Bai Letong nodded slightly, but did not answer his question directly: "From now on, there will be only one Haihan country in the world, and that is the country we belong to." Zhao Pu had some thoughts in his heart, but he did not dare to say them out. He knew that this issue of the origin of the country was extremely sensitive, and Bai Letong said that this was a change made by the Executive Committee arranged by the Ministry of Culture and Education, and he, a little principal, could not make arbitrary comments.
But he was thinking in his mind that a few years ago, Navy Commander Wang Tom led a huge fleet overseas. It was said that he went to the other side of the East China Sea, but no one knew what kind of mission they were on. There are also rumors among the people that the destination of this fleet is the hometown of the founding fathers-the legendary Haihan Kingdom.
But now the executive committee wants to re-explain the origin of Haihan Kingdom, which probably means that some kind of change has happened to the original Haihan Kingdom overseas, and it may have disappeared, so there are arrangements to revise the teaching materials. But I can only think about it in my heart. It would be disrespectful to say it out loud.
Naturally, the teachers did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly immersed themselves in taking notes. Now they are all scholars who eat royal food. How to teach this book, they just need to follow the instructions above. Besides, all written records related to Haihan come from the founding fathers of the People's Republic of China. Even if you want to get to the bottom of this, there is nowhere to find other information that can be used as supporting evidence.
Bai Letong also knew that this topic was not suitable for discussion, so he simply stated the modified parts of the textbook without explaining the reasons or asking the teachers for their opinions, and quickly jumped to the next knowledge point.
The new textbook further emphasizes the authority of the Executive Committee in the national power structure. All local governments must strictly abide by the laws and regulations formulated by the Executive Committee. They must not put local interests first, obey the Executive Committee over and over, or make their own decisions.
All areas officially included in the territory of Haihan are Haihan's indivisible territory. Any behavior or speech that violates this rule will be regarded as a serious crime.
This kind of content with strong political meaning is actually a bit over the top, but considering that a considerable number of graduates trained by middle schools will enter government agencies at all levels in the future and become the backbone of the Haihan bureaucracy, I would like to express my gratitude to them. Instilling this concept in advance will also help them maintain their loyalty to the executive committee in the long term.
The reason why these contents are emphasized is also to stabilize Haihan's political situation. The territory of Haihan is getting bigger and bigger, and even if the executive committee has great hands and eyes, it is difficult to ensure that the ruling areas scattered all over East Asia are completely unconcerned. As long as such risks can be avoided, various effective measures will be considered, and culture and education are undoubtedly one of the lowest-cost options to implement.
The teachers present naturally had no objections to this, and they were all busy writing and writing down what Bai Letong said.
Bai Letong was very satisfied when he saw this. The content about the origin of Haihan and the country's political system is the focus of teaching that the Ministry of Culture and Education has explicitly ordered to be promoted nationwide. Since he left Sanya last year, he has contacted local educational institutions to hold symposiums at almost every stop he visits to urge local governments to implement these new key points in teaching.
