s: Please give me a vote February 20, 1915, 2756 AD, Beijing.
Today is the last day of this year’s Spring Festival holiday.
Amidst the fierce war, the world has entered the new year.
While the Chinese are celebrating the New Year, the war is still in full swing in Europe.
Because it is too far away from everyone, everyone just regards the European War as a talking point, rather than something important that affects one's wealth.
Beijing used to be called Shuntian Prefecture, which was the same name in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
After the Beiyang government came to power, it was renamed Beijing.
However, there is no Republic of China in this plane, so the name Peking has no connection with it.
After the Socialist Party of Science and Technology unified China, it did not change its name.
It continued the name from the Beiyang period, and it was still called Beijing.
Although New China did not designate Beijing as the capital, it still made it a municipality directly under the Central Government, with a smaller jurisdiction than during the Datu Dynasty.
Miyun, Huairou, Yanqing, Pinggu and other counties were all designated as municipalities because of their rich mineral resources.
I went to Hebei Province, which is positioned as a heavy industry.
Therefore, the entire Beijing municipality area in this plane is less than 9,000 square kilometers, which is almost half smaller than the Datu Dynasty period in the original time and space.
The Hebei Province in this plane is larger than the original space and time, because it not only absorbed several counties in Beijing, but also included Tianjin, so the territory of Hebei increased to 208,000 square kilometers.
Beijing is a famous historical and cultural city with a long history and is the cultural center of the north.
Wen Desi from later generations knew very well that such a place is a prime location for tourism development.
And there are several famous universities in Beijing.
Therefore, its positioning on this plane is that of a city focusing on tourism and education.
Heavy industry is not planned here.
Wen always plans to turn this place into a tourism center, cultural center and livable city.
As for heavy industry, don't do it.
In fact, Beijing is a city that lacks water and has a very limited population carrying capacity, so it is not suitable as a capital.
In the late Qing Dynasty, it was already very reluctant.
The Datu Dynasty in the original time and space was so poor that it chose this place as its capital.
And because of poverty and poor infrastructure, all kinds of factories were concentrated here, making it a huge expense just to control pollution every year.
Later, it really didn’t work anymore, and a huge amount of money and manpower were spent.
In terms of material resources, various factories were moved out, and a lot of redundant construction was done that wasted people and money, but the effect was not good.
With the lessons learned from the Datu Dynasty, Mr.
Wen did not plan to build heavy industry in Beijing from the beginning, but directly positioned it as a city focusing on tourism, culture and education.
Moreover, in ancient cities like Beijing, the development of modern industry will conflict with many historical sites.
Whether it is demolition or renovation, a lot of unnecessary manpower and material resources will be spent, which seems to be more than worth the gain.
Therefore, the construction plan of China in this dimension is to move modern industry to emerging cities with little historical foundation, and to develop historical cities such as Beijing, Nanjing, Chang'an, etc. into tourism and cultural industry cities after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Taking full advantage of their cultural advantages, they can also enhance national consciousness.
The city of Beijing during the Qing Dynasty, despite being the capital, was indescribably dirty except for the Forbidden City.
The roads were muddy, filled with human and animal excrement, and sewage flowed across the streets.
Even the Forty-Nine City was not much better. go.
It wasn't until Beiyang came to power that they began to rectify the city's appearance.
However, facing the offensive of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, they had little energy to take care of it.
This kind of city appearance is obviously not enough for a tourist city.
After the founding of New China, Beijing underwent comprehensive rectification.
After several years of construction, the entire city of Beijing has now been renovated.
All roads in the city have been converted into cement roads and stone roads, and all dilapidated houses have either been torn down and rebuilt on the spot, or simply demolished.
Those valuable monuments have been comprehensively restored and renovated while retaining their original appearance.
Now the whole city looks clean and tidy, like a brand new city.

The Forbidden City, the Forbidden City, is a tourist attraction.
After being completely renovated, it was turned into a cultural museum.
According to Mr.
Wen's wishes, the palaces and pavilions have all been restored to their Ming Dynasty names, and the furnishings have also been fully restored to their Ming Dynasty appearance.
Even those buildings added during the Qing Dynasty had their signs in both Manchu and Chinese characters replaced with Chinese characters.
Because Mr.
Wen hated the Qing Dynasty very much, he naturally erased it if he could.
Since the Palace Museum completed its renovation in June last year and was fully opened to the public, it has become a famous tourist attraction in the country, with numerous tourists from all over the world visiting it every day.
In the beginning, there were only collective sightseeing groups organized by various government agencies, enterprises, institutions, schools and civil society groups.
Later, with the improvement of living standards and changes in concepts, more and more families and individuals began to come here.
Toured.
Early this morning, Na Wu rode an electric tricycle and pulled two guests to the gate of the Forbidden City.
"Sir, look, this is the Forbidden City.
This was the place where the emperor lived before.
Ordinary people can't even enter through the gate, let alone play," the five pairs of tourists behind introduced.
Beijingers are good at talking, and he never stopped talking along the way, making the two tourists smile.
"Haha, we made a special trip from Tianjin just to see where the emperor lives.
I heard that you can also sit on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace," the middle-aged tourist in the lead asked excitedly.
Na Wu Rushu Jiazhen said: "That's right, you can sit on it as long as you take pictures, but it costs one yuan at a time, and it can't exceed five minutes.
Moreover, I heard that the dragon chair is also a replica, and the real one has been put away and placed on the In the museum exhibition hall.
However, even though it is a replica, it is exactly the same as the original one.
It was made by the original master."
"Okay, today we are going to sit on the dragon chair, hahahahaha" Lao Li laughed, and then said: "Master, how much does it cost?"
"Our company, Huisheng Company, all prices are clearly stated.
Look, from the train station to the Palace Museum, it's fifty cents."
Na Wu took out a price sign from the front pocket and showed it to the tourists.
"Okay, fifty cents, here it is."
Lao Li took out his wallet and took out a silver dollar.
"Thank you for your business.
This is your fifty cents.
Please keep it."
Na Wu quickly took out his wallet, took out a fifty cent coin and handed it over.
At this time, the young man next to him said: "Hey, Lao Li, there are too many people here.
It's the last day of the holiday, why are there so many people?"
Na Wu smiled and said: "This is also called a guest officer.
You don't know.
There are always a lot of people here.
Fortunately, you arrived today.
You see, there are only a few hundred people in line now.
It's not called too many at all.
The people in front of me are There are so many tourists in a few days, and the queues to buy tickets are miles away.
It’s better to rush early than to rush.”
The young man said depressingly: "There are a lot of people with just a few hundred people.
We have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse are gone and we have to go back to Tianjin to deliver the goods in the afternoon."
Na Wu smiled and said: "Sir, if you don't want to queue, there is a way, but the ticket price is a little more expensive."

Lao Li almost didn't think about it and said, "Okay, it's fine if it's more expensive.
We're in a hurry."
"Here, it's the guy over there leaning against the street light, carrying a green satchel and wearing a dog-skin hat.
I'm going to call him."
Nawu stopped the car and shouted to the man: "Niu Laosan, we have business, come here quickly." " As soon as Niu Laosan heard that there was business, he ran over quickly and said with a smile on his face: "Hey, sir, do you want a ticket?"
"Yes, we want two tickets.
How did you sell these tickets?"
Niu Laosan asked: "What kind of ticket do you want?
There are four types of tickets for the Forbidden City: one-day ticket, two-day ticket, three-day ticket and five-day ticket."
"There are so many kinds of tickets," the young man said curiously.
"Hey, this is your first time here.
The Forbidden City is so big that you can definitely see it all in one day.
That's why there are several types of tickets.
If you buy a five-day ticket, you can go in and see it at any time within five days.
You don't have to go in again.
After queuing up to buy tickets, just exchange them at the ticket inspector at the door.
This is also convenient for tourists.”
Lao Li said: "So that's it, but we still have things to do and we have to go back today, so just buy two same-day tickets."
Niu Laosan took out two tickets from his bag and said, "Okay, the original price of the ticket for that day is 30 cents.
As for me, I will charge an extra 30 cents for the queuing fee for each ticket, which means I can earn some hard money."
"Oh, you've doubled the price this time.
This business is so easy.
If you buy hundreds of tickets, you can make hundreds of dollars a day, and you'll be rich in a year."
The young man was dissatisfied. said.
"How can you make such easy money?"
Niu Laosan said with a wry smile: "Sir, you don't know.
You can't buy as many tickets as you want in this place.
The unit organizes special group tickets to be purchased with a letter of introduction. , which ordinary people cannot buy.
For example, we can only buy individual tickets.
One person can only buy three tickets at a time.
You have also seen such a long queue.
How many times do you think we can queue in a day?
This is how we make money.
It’s just hard work to make ends meet, how can you make a fortune?”
"Okay, okay, Xiao Wang, it's rare to come here once, so you don't have to worry about the money."
Lao Li shook his hand and bought two tickets directly from this scalper.
After the two tourists left, the scalper took out two cents and smiled at Na Wu: "Brother Wu, thank you for helping me find business.
Here, I'll give you a share."
Na Wu pushed his hand away and said sternly: "Dede, don't give it to me.
You should keep it for yourself.
You still have several children at home to feed."
Seeing that Niu Laosan still had a stack of tickets in his bag, Nawu couldn't help but said: "I said, what you are doing now is not a long-term solution.
Not many people are willing to spend more money.
The Spring Festival holiday is about to pass, and there are fewer tourists.
I think it will be difficult for you to sell these tickets later.”

"Then Fifth Brother, what else do you think we can do?
During the Qing Dynasty, we just learned to walk the birds and play with the dogs.
We didn't know how to do anything serious.
At that time in Beiyang, our house was ransacked again."
Niu Laosan's mouth twitched. smoke.
"Hey, we are recruiting workers everywhere now.
I know where I can't work.
You just can't bear to lose face and work hard with your former servants.
Is it an honor for you to do this now?"
Na Wu shook his head and said: "Old Three, this won’t work, now It's not the time of the Qing Dynasty.
We people are still of low rank, so we are not sent to labor camps.
Think about those princes, Baylor, and those with yellow belts and red belts.
Now you are either mining or planting trees in the desert.
Captain Qingqi, please stop being so arrogant."
He lowered his voice and said: "I heard the news that the government is now going to comprehensively clear out unemployed refugees.
Anyone who has no legitimate job within two years will be sent to various farms and mines for forced labor.
Your job is not considered a legitimate job."
"Ah, what should we do?"
Niu Laosan's face changed drastically.
"I'm going to add a few more cars.
If you're willing, why don't you help me?
Although I'm a little tired, it's still a legitimate job for ten bucks a month.
Are you coming?"
Niu Laosan's face turned pale and green, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it with you."
That afternoon, Nawu collected his car and went to Chunlai Tea House.
This was a place he often came to before, but at that time he came to chat and listen to storytelling, but now he comes to read newspapers and listen to the radio.
The layout of the teahouse is different now.
There is a radio with speakers in the middle of the hall, and there are separate radios in each private room.
You can listen to whatever channel you want.
There are book racks on both sides of the aisle, containing the latest newspapers and magazines.
In the middle of the hall, there is a podium with a set of tables and chairs on it.
This is the position of the storytellers, but now these gentlemen have an additional business besides storytelling, that is, newspapers.
It is roughly like the news commentary programs of later generations, which are all kinds of comments and complaints about the current hot news.
"Hey, Mr.
Wu, you're here."
The waiter, oh, is calling the waiter now.
As soon as he saw that he was a regular customer, he quickly went up to greet him.
"Here please, I've reserved a seat for you."
Na Wu came to a table near the front and sat down: "Let's have one as per the old rules."
"Okay, a pot of scented tea, spiced broad beans, spicy dried tofu, and fried peanuts."
The most important skill for waiters working in these teahouses is to remember the preferences of regular customers.
"Fifth brother, you're here."
An acquaintance next to him also came over to say hello.
"Easy to say, you're here early today."
Na Wuye nodded in greeting.

"Business is good today and the sales are fast.
My small shop will be closed early.
Today, Mr.
Liu will continue to talk about the European War.
This cannot be stopped."
The man smiled.
"That's right, that's right, what Mr.
Liu said is really good.
When I look at the current political jokes in Beijing, he is the best at saying it."
Na Wushen said with the same feeling.
At this time, people came one after another, many of them were familiar customers, and everyone couldn't help but exchange a few words with each other.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese-style gown came out from the backstage holding a folding fan and walked slowly onto the podium.
As soon as he appeared, the whole hall immediately fell silent.
After Mr.
Liu sat down, he opened the folding fan in an elegant manner and said loudly: "Dear listeners, we just received a piece of news, which is no worse than the European War.
Let's talk about this today."
"Whatever Mr.
Liu said is wonderful," the crowd cheered loudly.
"Pah!"
Mr.
Liu was stunned and said: "Everyone has heard of Journey to the West.
In Journey to the West, Monk Tang and his disciples are going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.
This West is the Kingdom of Tianzhu.
This Kingdom of Tianzhu is what it is now.
India.
This happened in India.”
Mr.
Liu deserves to be a famous storyteller, telling the history of India's defeat by the British and its becoming a colony in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
There are various allusions interspersed in it, and the people below cheer from time to time.
"This has been unjust for a long time.
The people of India are all gnashing their teeth, wishing they could eat its blood, eat its flesh, and sleep on its skin.
There are dragons and snakes in the grass, and there are also heroes in India.
This hero is named Singh.
This Xin Over the years, Ge has recruited comrades and developed his power, vowing to drive out the British and barbarians, but the British and barbarians are powerful.
After the outbreak of the European War, the German army swept through all the European countries, and the British could only parry and could not take care of India.
This was exactly what the weather was like yesterday.
Singh raised the flag of rebellion and conquered Hyderabad in one go.”
"Oh, this India is in rebellion," someone exclaimed.
"Yes, after Singh's uprising, heroes from all over the country responded one after another.
At this time, India was already in flames."
Mr.
Liu took a sip of tea and shook his fan with a smile.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that this British guy would end up like this.
This is retribution."
The audience at the scene suddenly started to gloat.

To say that the people in China who hate the British the most are probably the people in Beijing.
The burning of the Old Summer Palace and the Eight-Power Allied Forces caused great harm to Beijing.
"This Indian did a good job, damn, he should kill more British devils," Na Wuye said with excitement.
Someone in his family also died at the hands of the British that year.
The British don't care whether you are a bannerman or not.
At this time, a waiter hurried over and whispered a few words to Mr.
Liu.
"Pa" Mr.
Liu was stunned and said: "Everyone, there is another latest news just now."
He smiled mysteriously and gave it a try.
Seeing everyone scratching their heads and heads anxiously, he said slowly: "Today, South African martyrs responded to India and launched an anti-British uprising.”
"Oh, South Africa is also rebelling," everyone exclaimed.
After hearing about it, the regular patrons here are no longer as blind as before about the world structure.
They know all the major countries in the world, and they also know that South Africa is a British colony.
Even if you don’t know the exact location, there is a world map hanging on the wall of the lobby, so take a look at it yourself.
In order to open people's minds, New China not only popularized radio and newspapers, but also used traditional literary and artistic programs such as storytellers and dramas to incorporate various knowledge and news into them, making them both educational and entertaining.
Needless to say, this method is very effective.
Regular patrons in this teahouse feel that listening to Mr.
Liu talk about current affairs is more exciting than the news on the radio, so many of them have radios at home, but they still like to come to the teahouse to listen. .
Of course, what they didn't know was that Mr.
Liu also attended a training class and received intensive vocational training conducted by the Propaganda Department
