When he saw the money arrived, the Mongolian man suddenly smiled and motioned for Fang Ze and Holo to follow him. "Do you want to ride the kind of horse that is used for taking pictures for tourists, or do you want to ride a horse seriously?"
"What's the difference between the two?"
"The horses for tourists to ride have been trained so that they don't look like horses anymore. They are just a background for taking pictures. If you want to experience real horse riding, you have to find those soft horses that have not been tamed. It runs well, but if you don’t have any riding experience, it’s easy to fall off.”
"We ride real horses." Fang Ze said.
If he was bringing other soft girls, Fang Ze might have chosen the first option, but forget it with Holo. Holo, the wolf god, let alone letting the horse fall off, it would be fine if she didn't throw the horse off.
"Okay." The Mongolian man said, "Let's go there now, but the location is a bit far. You can take my car."
"I just saw that the Mongolian name on your ID card is quite long. How do you call it specifically?"
"Look at the Mongolian name. It's for tourists. Just call me Zhang Liao."
"What a good name." Fang Ze immediately thought of the wise general from the Three Kingdoms period.
"My father gave me this name." Zhang Liao said as he got Fang Ze and He Luo into the car, "My father and mother are both Mongolian, but only my mother is a real Mongolian. My dad is a Mongolian with a registered permanent residence from Baotou. He thought the name was good, so he kept asking me to call me by that name. If it weren’t for the job I’m doing now, I would have changed the name on the registered permanent residence.”
"What does the Mongolian household registration mean?" Holo looked at Fang Ze and asked curiously.
"That is, although his official identity is Mongolian, if we really talk about ethnic group, he is not actually a Mongolian."
"Why is there such a strange phenomenon?" Holo couldn't figure out why there was such a phenomenon. In the Middle Ages where Holo lived, no one would pretend to be another race unless there was a war.
"This has something to do with the division of provinces in our country." Fang Ze explained, "It's not just here, it's basically like this all over the country, but some places don't involve ethnic groups."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Liao asked, not understanding what Fang Ze meant. “What happened to the division of provinces in our country?”
"Because the division of provinces is not strictly based on regional culture, its function is actually to separate regional cultures and prevent local forces from becoming stronger. This is what our country has been doing since the unification."
Fang Ze explained, "For example, Southern Anhui is a Jiangnan culture, but it has to be assigned to AH. Chaoshan is obviously a Minnan culture, but it has to be assigned to Guangdong. Not to mention southern and northern Jiangsu. They are not a family at all. They are forced to integrate The purpose of being together is to insert the border between the four provinces. The Taihu Plain was originally a whole, with similar dialects and customs, but it was split into two provinces."
"So this also explains why there are many Mongolians with registered residence in Baotou." Fang Ze pointed at Zhang Liao and said, "Baotou belongs to the Jinsui culture, but it must be allocated to Mongolia. But if you look carefully, you will find that the Mongols There are also places divided into other provinces. If you take a map and look at the division of provinces in the northwest, you will find that the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia in the northwest are even more wonderfully divided, especially the long strip of Gansu. .”
"Then what's the purpose of dividing it like this?" Zhang Liao clicked on the map on his mobile phone, put it on the stand and took a look. He found that this was indeed the case. Every province, without exception, had this situation, whether it was northwest or southwest. , Jiangnan, Northeast, the various provinces are not only intertwined in terrain and undefeable, but also interspersed with each other in terms of regional culture and forcibly kneaded together. "
"China is one, but this unity does not come out of thin air." Fang Ze said, "The so-called oneness means that you have me, and I have you. For example, if the map of Europe is redrawn, Germany will be The three countries of Italy and France will cede part of the adjacent parts to each other. Do you think many years later, Germany, Italy and France will become allies with each other? Another example is if you cede part of the island to France from the United Kingdom, and France will cede the inland part of the island to France. If part of it is ceded to the UK, can the UK still be the troublemaker in Europe like it is now?"
"But the problem is, don't they speak different languages?" Zhang Liao thought for a while and asked.
"I'm a northerner and I can't understand Cantonese. People from southern Fujian are still not our compatriots?!" Fang Ze said, spreading his hands. "Europe can launch the euro as it is now. If we were closer, would language still be a barrier?"
"Furthermore, Italian, French, and Spanish all belong to the Romance language family. The language differences between these three countries are actually similar to our dialects. If you learn each other, you can communicate in less than three months. Many of the words are the same. Yes. German, Dutch, and Swedish are all Germanic languages, and these three countries together form a complete country."
"Besides, we also have Chinese and Tibeto-Dian languages. The difference is similar to the difference between the Romance language family and the Germanic language family. We can all be one family, so why can't Europe be one family?"
"Yes, why?" Zhang Liao was almost stunned by Fang Ze.
"Didn't I say it before? Because under the unified political power, through successive dynasties, we have continuously brought together the nations and regions that were strangers to form Greater China. Even if you occupy a province, If you want to be independent, ask people in other places if they are willing to go to war with neighboring compatriots who are of the same culture."
"The routine is deep." Zhang Liao finally understood what was going on.
If Europe had a unified government like China in the early years and reorganized the administrative provinces, then even if it wanted to be independent in the future, it would be impossible.
If France wants to be independent, can so many Germans in France agree
In the middle of Europe, although we talk about this person and that person, but at the root, they are either Celtic or Germanic. Going south, it's all Mediterranean people again.
And even if you become independent, you are not allowed to take back such a large area of Germany that was originally owned by the French
If you take it back, you won’t be allowed to fight
A war of unification cannot be achieved in one fight
If European countries really become like China, where you have me and you, you will have to fight a unification war, because the surrounding countries have your own people, and there are people from other countries in your own country. If the rulers do not fight , the people will also force you to fight.
Zhang Liao drove quickly to a lonely yurt.
"This is it. Not many people still have horses that can run wildly."
