The streets of Bangkok, despite being the capital of the Bangkok dynasty, are arguably the most prosperous city in Thailand. Streets and busy cities full of people, bustling with people, it can be said that Thailand or the entire Indochina Peninsula is the most prosperous honesty, Bangkok is definitely worthy of the name―――――― if Singapore, it should belong to the Malay Peninsula, right?

However, even the most prosperous city in Thailand still has some dark places.

Smelly ditches and dark alleys filled with garbage fill every corner of the city. It also makes every outsider who has seen the prosperity of this city can't help but shake his head and sigh――――――Of course, if the place where this outsider comes is a dirtier city than Bangkok, then it is estimated that there is no problem.

After all, although it is difficult to be satisfied, sometimes it is easy to be satisfied.

Walking through the streets of Bangkok, Hu Wenqing has almost reached the point of ignoring the things around him. This is not because he has been in Bangkok for a long time and is already familiar with this kind of scene, but also because when he was just born, he was already completely familiar with this kind of picture―――――― China in the past is actually no different from Bangkok today.

No, in a way, perhaps many cities in China were not as good as Bangkok in the past.

While it's true that they're more prosperous than Bangkok, there's one thing they're missing: stability.

No matter how prosperous those cities in China are, we lack the situation of stability. It's also hard to get enough development.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Hu Wenqing is not particularly old, that is, in his early 30s, but even so. He still remembers the memories of the past very clearly, and he also knows very well what his country was like in the past...

That sloppy appearance made Hu Wenqing almost not want to recall.

Of course, even if he is asked to recall it now, I'm afraid he won't be able to recall it. After all, that was many years ago, and now, after years of governance and development. This kind of scene can be said to be very rare in China.

If Hu Wenqing still wants to recall, I am afraid that he can only reluctantly recall it from the photos―――――― but there is a problem, that is, he does not have a photo in his hand.

After all, no one can imagine it. In just a few years, the Kuomintang government was able to govern China to the point it is now. Vast tracts of dirty streets have disappeared from the cities, and even some villages have heeded the government's call to improve sanitation. Although there is no way to compare with some of the larger cities. But it's also much better than Bangkok.

It is not surprising, after all, the status of today's national government in the hearts of the people can be said to be very high, especially Yan Shao himself. So under the call of Yan Shao and the government, even if the people don't really understand what the use of this is, they are still willing to respond without affecting themselves.

Naturally, it's not useless...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, the reason why the national government pursued such a policy was entirely because of the Spanish flu―――――― which was rampant in almost every populated place in the world. And humans have almost no ability to fight back other than passive resistance.

So in just two or three years. The price for all of humanity has been terrible.

These costs, even to this day, still make many people can't help but feel sad, after all, it is tens of millions of lives, and these people are associated with their relatives―――――― in fact, everyone will have some enemies in this world, so when the enemy dies, these people's enemies will naturally be happy, but in life, more are relatives...

Especially now and unlike later generations, the feelings between relatives in this era can be different from the indifference of later generations, even if some families are separated for one reason or another, but at least the vast majority of families are still so harmonious and perfect.

It is conceivable that when a person dies, perhaps his enemies will be happy, but his relatives will be even more sad, and when a person lives in the world, it is difficult to say that his enemies will be more than his relatives.

There is no doubt that the epidemic of the Spanish flu has caused great harm to the whole world, and of course, China, as a major populous country, is also difficult to escape. It is precisely because of this that the death toll in China during the Spanish flu outbreak was also very high―――――― although there is no way to compare it with India, but it is still an astronomical number compared to ordinary countries.

After all, that's tens of millions of deaths, and that's after the Communist government has taken a series of countermeasures. If this is not the case, I am afraid that the death toll will double. And the so-called response measures are naturally a series of health measures~

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At present, it is only seven years before the establishment of the national government, and I want to make the whole country so great in just seven years. It is almost impossible under normal circumstances, Yan Shao is not a naïve guy, and he has the experience of a traverser, so he knows very well that this kind of naïve idea will definitely fail in the end.

It is also because of this relationship that Yan Shao originally planned to come step by step and slowly.

Even the most famous countries of later generations, known for their manners and politeness, were not also very sloppy in the past?

It's just that a lot of things aren't just that unsatisfactory. At least this is the situation that Yan Shao is facing, in the case of the outbreak of the Spanish flu, Yan Shao has only two choices―――――― either continue to proceed so slowly and gradually, or take drastic medicine. Change the whole country in the shortest possible time.

And in the case of human life, there seems to be only one choice for Yan Shao, and that is the latter.

So during the Spanish flu. The Communist government has issued a large number of health care measures. The first is to improve the level of medical care in the country, a large number of hospitals have been set up in some towns in the country, and many amateur doctors who are not in the mainstream have also been assigned to rural areas.

Then there is the use of disinfectant water, a large amount of disinfectant water is sprayed in inhabited places, although the smell of disinfectant water is really not very good, but in the case of life. It doesn't seem like there are so many options left...

It is precisely because of this relationship that a large amount of disinfectant water has been put into use, and pieces of land have been baptized with disinfectant water―――――― even now. There are also many people who suspect that a very important reason why the death toll in China during the Spanish flu was so low was because the government of the country at that time invested a lot of disinfectant water in various parts of the country, and it was the application of these disinfectant water that greatly reduced the number of patients infected with the disease in the country.

So even at that time, there was no specific drug for the Spanish flu in China. However, the death toll in China still reached a level with countries such as Britain and the United States―――――― considering the population and density of China at that time. This is already a miracle.

Even at the end of the Spanish flu, medical personnel from many countries came to China to learn from the experience, wanting to know how China defeated the Spanish flu.

In addition, it is to improve the level of hygiene, after all, the level of health and the level of medical care are closely related, Yan Shao is still very clear. Even if he doesn't know this, at least Yan Shao is still very clear. It's that germs usually come out of those dirty places...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Improving hygiene is easy to say. But it's not so easy to do, after all, many times people's sloppiness has become a habit. At least for many people, like some people who usually look polite but also spit on the ground.

There is no way, it is a habit, and this habit is basically difficult to correct without force.

If it was in the past, maybe Yan Shao would still emphasize step-by-step and something like that.

It's a pity that Yan Shao didn't have that much time, and when the Spanish flu killed thousands of people every day, Yan Shao could only cut through the mess quickly, so a series of laws related to improving the level of domestic health were promulgated.

It's like spitting or littering, which used to be only done in some cities. But when the Spanish flu broke out and new decrees were enacted, they were implemented throughout the country, even in some villages.

It is precisely because of these strict laws and regulations that the health level of the Chinese people has been greatly improved, and from a certain point of view, the reason why the number of deaths in China during the Spanish flu is so low has a lot to do with the improvement of personal hygiene.

Of course, this will definitely have a great impact on the living habits of many people, but those ordinary people will also be counted. After all, under normal circumstances, the people would not oppose the government, but those high-ranking officials...

Even if it is only a newly established government, there are still many dignitaries in China, and for these people, nothing is more important than their own convenience.

So during the period when the decree was promulgated, many people soon came to the door because of various inconveniences, hoping that Yan Shao could cancel the decree.

As mentioned earlier, there is nothing more important to this type of person than their own convenience.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Naturally, Yan Shao is absolutely impossible to agree, after all, these measures are used to save lives, if these measures are really canceled, it is very likely that the whole country will pay a greater price―――――― not to mention that the government has just issued a decree, and if it starts to be canceled now, wouldn't this be a change of order, and the government will still have the slightest prestige at all?

What's more, as I said earlier, this is a lifesaver, and with such a little pressure, it is almost a joke to want Yan Shao to bow his head.

So the policy continues to be enforced, as for those troubles...

In the final analysis, it was just a little noise for Yan Shao. If the matter is not announced, maybe they will jump out and make a fuss, if they really want to jump out against it―――――― you must know that these are all policies for human life. How could they really stand up against it.

What's more, these policies of the Kuomintang government at that time brought a lot of business opportunities, which even involved the interests of some important military and political officials, so that they opposed their own interests?

Even if they are opposed, they are only criticized from the point of view that these laws are too authoritarian. However, considering that it was the outbreak of the Spanish flu, people were panicking, at least for the vast majority of the people. They would rather lose some of their comfort than be safe~

After all, there is only one life, and if it is gone. That's really nothing, and it doesn't matter if it's comfortable or convenient.

It can be said that this is why China has been able to do so in just seven years. The reason for such a big change. Not because of anything else. It's because they've had something that has to change.

Spanish flu, if you don't change, you die!

There are only two options, and it's very simple.

I don't know whether to be grateful or hateful, because if it weren't for the Spanish flu, I am afraid that it would be many years before the way China was at that time could change.

Of course, the same was true of the First World War, although China was during the First World War. Lost a lot of lives. But there is no doubt that if it were not for the First World War. I'm afraid that China will not be able to use the international status it has now...

After all, there is only one reason why China has developed to this point, and that is a series of raw materials and industrial products that the Allied countries had to buy from all over the world in order to win the war during the First World War.

It is precisely with these that China's industrial capacity has been rapidly improved.

Because the Entente countries at that time had a great demand for almost all materials, in the past, even if China opened a factory, it needed to worry about how to sell the goods produced and then make a profit.

After all, at that time, China first had to face the competition of foreign goods, and in addition to a series of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in China.

But after the outbreak of the European war, this was no longer a problem. Because the European continent is like a black hole that swallows almost everything.

For example, China has very rich coal resources, which used to be buried underground. China itself didn't really have much to use, but after the outbreak of the First World War, the situation was dramatically reversed.

The Entente's demand for coal and other resources meant that those coal yards or mines were just starting construction and did not need to worry about buyers.

In fact, during the implementation of the first five-year plan, many officials expressed great excitement about this plan. But there are also many officials who are more mature, and most importantly often fail and are used to being hit, but they are worried about a problem. That is, after these things are figured out, who will buy them?

If no one buys it, can't the government support them?

Especially resources such as coal, which need to be consumed by people. In the past, China's demand for these resources was not saturated, but I am afraid that there would not be much of a gap.

Fortunately, the outbreak of the European war solved this qiē.

From a certain point of view, China can develop to this point, and it should really be thanks to the European war. Although the war also cost China hundreds of thousands of casualties, it also gave China the opportunity to become an industrial power, and the long-term war became the guarantee of the success of China's first five-year plan.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It is precisely because of the great changes in China today that Hu Wenqing can only see the kind of scenes in the past if he wants to see them in the past. But if it's okay, who will shoot such a scene, so for this kind of thing, basically Hu Wenqing can only recall.

Of course, this means that before coming to Bangkok, at least after arriving in Thailand, such memories suddenly returned to Hu Wenqing's mind.

However, Hu Wenqing has no nostalgia for this kind of scene that China can often see in the past. After all, this kind of scene is not worth nostalgia, but after a long time in Bangkok, Hu Wenqing gradually got used to it, and sometimes Hu Wenqing even got used to the kind of days when he followed the Thai people to the nearby temple to burn incense...

It's just that...

That's definitely not now!

Unlike in the past, Hu Wenqing's love can be said to be very unstable now, and the reason for this is very simple. Because of the attitude of the Thai people.

Not long ago, according to domestic intentions, Hu Wenqing had a very frank showdown with the Thai government, and at the same time invited Thailand to join the alliance that China is currently preparing.

It's just that the Thais are obviously not as happy as they think in China, more than half a month has passed, and even the British and French are about to know about it, but the Thais still have no intention of replying, which naturally makes Hu Wenqing feel extremely annoyed.

After all, if the British or the French knew about it, they didn't know how much obstruction it would add. (To be continued......)
