The more people talked, the more excited they became, feeling that they had found a way to make local people more industrious.
At this time, Yang Juncai occasionally tilted his head and saw the tangled look on General Manager Zhou's face, and then he reacted: "Everyone, we first need to discuss how to elect members of the House of Commons through legislation and how to change the laziness of local people.
Let's talk about it later. " Only then did everyone think of business and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Someone then bowed their hands to General Office Zhou and said, "Let's laugh and laugh."
General Manager Zhou quickly replied: "Where is it?"
At this time, a congressman said: "Actually, this matter can also be related to the election of members.
We require that the elected members of the House of Commons must have their own rice fields, right?"
Everyone suddenly realized that it made sense.
At this time, another person said: "What's the use?
They usually just scatter a few handfuls of rice in the fields and don't care at all.
When the time comes, they can just harvest a few to fill their stomachs.
How can there be more to transport back to the mainland?"
The congressman who put forward the opinion first said: "Don't be afraid, we can also stipulate how much property the congressman must have.
For example, a thousand catties of rice must be at home, or how many silk clothes must be at home, or how much money must be at home.
That's all right. "?"
At this time, another congressman said: "We are here to talk about how to elect congressmen, but what if the locals are not willing to be this congressman?"
This is very reasonable.
The locals are too lazy and there is nothing good to do.
No one really wants to do it.
Yang Juncai said: "I have thought about this.
As long as we pay the members, they will be willing to be members.
Just because they are lazy, there will be many people who want to get something for nothing."
After solving the problem that local people may not be willing to be members, everyone began to discuss the election method.
Since General Office Zhou had first said that elections would be based on region and number of people, this issue was easy to discuss.
According to the administrative divisions of Luzon, we will Fifty places have been allocated.
Finally, General Manager Zhou interjected, that is, all congressmen must be able to speak Chinese.
As a result, the Luzon Upper House’s first law, the Luzon Lower House election method, finally took shape.
Yang Juncai proudly announced that this law will be implemented in Luzon from now on.
Then he said: "If any laws are to be enacted in the future, it is best for a few people to write an outline first, otherwise the discussion will go to other places."
The members of the House of Representatives agreed together: "It is true, there must be an outline in the future, otherwise this discussion will be too tiring."
Once the law has been formulated, it is up to the Governor-General to enact and implement it.
Yang Jingchen's Governor's Palace was operating at high speed.
First, he found some local people in Manila and nearby areas who got along well with the Chinese.
Under the protection of soldiers, they went to various places to post notices and explain the contents to the locals.
There are many kinds of languages in Luzon.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 190 languages.
So the notices are in two languages: Chinese and Tagalog.
Tagalog is a language that is spoken by relatively many people.
In this era, not long after writing was formed, about a quarter of Luzon people spoke this language.
Of course, those who can understand Tagalog It can be said that there are very few Chinese characters.
Therefore, it is an arduous task to explain the content of this notice clearly to Luzon people everywhere.
It usually takes two speakers to understand the general meaning of a sentence.
Sure enough, as the members of the House of Lords thought, when they knew that this member could get money for sitting in meetings, the enthusiasm of local people for the election increased.
In a region with only one quota, more than ten people want to run for this position.
However, being able to speak Chinese has shattered the dreams of many people.

The further away from Manila, the fewer people who can speak Chinese.
However, many smart locals came up with some bold ideas after confirming through repeated inquiries that the election would be held in half a year.
Soon, the Chinese near Manila became popular.
The locals offered generous terms and invited them to teach Chinese.
Many people even lived in Chinese gathering areas and invited Chinese to talk with them.
For a while, there are often not standard Chinese words: "mudhao, crab crab" Inspired by this phenomenon, some members of the House of Lords proposed that only Chinese should be used as the official language in Luzon in the future, and that Chinese language teaching be vigorously carried out for local people.
After it was proposed in the House of Lords and unanimously approved by everyone, the second law regarding the official language of Luzon was released.
The law stipulates that all official documents and commercial contracts in Luzon must and can only use Chinese characters.
When collecting taxes, if the local owner can speak Chinese, his tax will be reduced by 10%.
Although laws regarding the collection of taxes had not yet been formulated, the natives certainly knew that taxes were inevitable because the Spaniards also collected taxes.
Now that we know that there is such a good thing, the trend of learning Chinese has quickly spread throughout Luzon.
The Chinese in Luzon no longer have the energy to do other things.
Just teaching Chinese is already much easier than before.
Li Dagui reported these situations to Dai Chunfeng and expressed concern about the agricultural situation in Luzon this year.
And Dai Chunfeng waved his hand and said: "This is more important.
The mainland is not short of this little food to save lives.
What's the rush?"
He had listened to the emperor's class in the martial arts hall and knew that the fastest and most convenient way to conquer a nation is to It is to destroy their language.
Now people in Luzon are spontaneously learning Chinese, which is a long-awaited good thing for the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with this, the food problem is a scumbag.
The reason why people in Luzon have started a craze for learning Chinese is of course related to running for parliament and tax cuts, but it is also closely related to the local language situation.
There are so many languages in Luzon, and maybe someone who is speaking another language ten miles away makes communication very inconvenient.
Moreover, Tagalog, the most spoken language in Luzon, had just formed its written form at this time.
Soon, the first book written in Tagalog appeared in 1594, which meant that the popularity of Chinese did not encounter strong resistance from the local language. .
Dai Chunfeng immediately sent someone to report this information directly to the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao was naturally overjoyed and ordered to convene a large number of students and even children in Henan, give them simple pinyin training, and then transport them to Lu as normal students.
Song Dynasty opened a large number of Chinese schools in Luzon in one fell swoop, specifically to teach locals to speak Chinese and recognize simple Chinese characters.
As for why Henan people are used instead of the closer Fujian and Cantonese people, it is of course because the accent of Henan people can at least be understood by most Chinese people
