Chapter four hundred and ninety-two: regional superiority

In fact, xenophobia and regional superiority are a very interesting and natural phenomenon. This is especially true in economically developed areas like Dalin and Chuanyuan. Taking Dalin as an example, this big city with more than 15 million people lived in only two or three million people a few hundred years ago. This group of people regarded themselves as Dalin locals, and among this group of "local population", there are no fewer complaining about the influx of foreign populations.

They believed that it was precisely because the newcomers of the 12 million people occupied their resources, seized their opportunities, and even began to hate outsiders to come to Dalin.

These people no longer speak Mandarin dialect, but all use Dalin dialect to demonstrate the superiority of culture.

Another interesting phenomenon is that there are many such people in a wealthy city like Dalin and Kawamoto.

Without careful thinking, you can find that the families and powerful warriors who truly occupy resources cannot be xenophobic, otherwise they would not trade with various continents and departments and export large amounts of food.

This group of superiors all rely on Dalin's huge population base to attract enough clan warriors to strengthen the big family. Perhaps a very small number of them also have a deep-rooted sense of regional superiority in their hearts, but they will never say it, because once they express such emotions, it will be difficult to continue to attract wandering warriors to return home.

If we remove these resource-occupied people, we can feel that those who hate outsiders the most are mostly those who are relatively poor in the city. For them, whether it is the urban welfare brought by excessive wealth, the broken ancestral homes left by generations, or the vain sense of superiority of top cities, they are all the only straws left.

They work in various industries in Dalin and are trusted because they live in Dalin for the rest of their lives. They serve as shopkeepers, secretarys, and managers, which are very hard-working but neither up nor down, but they know in their hearts that they may not be able to break through the class in a giant city like Dalin in their entire life.

So of course they cannot say that this result is because of their incompetence. People always habitually push the responsibility outward. Where can they push it?

If it weren't for the fact that all 12 million people gathered in Dalin, would I have worked so hard?

After finding the outlet for responsibility, the logic suddenly became very smooth.

This group of people naturally blamed their hardships on a large number of foreigners. In the final analysis, it was just a vent of their incompetence.

It is just because it is filled with self-emotion that this sense of xenophobia and superiority is extremely strong.

The first generation of Dalin outsiders is definitely not suitable for this group of xenophobics, but they have to make a living in Dalin, so what will they do?

They will start to learn the Dali dialect, and will start to teach their children the Dali dialect, as if they forget their hometown and master this language, they will be able to integrate into the Dali.

Look, I live in Dalin, and I say Dalin, I am a Dalin native.

The second generation of newcomers has become an xenophobic Dalin again, allowing this xenophobic group to slowly expand from two to three million.

The environment can shape a person. Even if someone later discovered that Da Lin actually had no need to exclusion, it became a vulnerable group in such an environment, so they could only speak the fluent Da Lin dialect and hide in the crowd.

Tang Luo didn't have to think about it, and the friend Cui Dayou knew should be someone who was the shopkeeper. He could even imagine what Cui Dayou would package himself into when establishing a deep friendship with such a person.

A local native of Dalin who was robbed by foreigners had no choice but to go far away in Xiling and build a vast world. When he came back to talk about the development of his hometown with his friends and talk bad things about foreigners together, the two seemed to resonate with each other. When friendship is equal in status and equal in cognition, they will have a wonderful feeling of meeting each other too late.

I have to say that this shopkeeper Cui is really a person in a flash. Tang Luo smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Cui, since you have entrusted all the grain purchase matters to you, just talk if you need to cooperate. If you have to explain everything to me, it is hard to guarantee that you will not be able to see the flaws. Just think of me as a guy and concentrate on your work."

The most important thing is to adapt to the situation. If Cui Dayou makes every decision, he will only be hindered everywhere. Now, completing 6 million bags of grain purchase is the top priority. As for other red tape, you can put it in as much as possible.

This was not the first time Cui Dayou heard this, but how could he change the habit he had developed over the past few decades in a short time? He could only respond repeatedly: "I will save you the money and will definitely live up to Minister Luo's high expectations."

The third day of October 1780, Longzhou Li

The six people who were staring and moon officially entered the Linchuan Plain. Cui Dayou familiarized himself with Tang Luo and others to the famous Longzhou granary - Dalincheng.

In fact, it is not enough to see the city's economy or not. It is not enough to just look at the city center, but to look at the villages and towns that are guarding the city.

Perhaps Xiling is not inferior to Dalin City at all, and the Lingjiang River that runs through the east and west has brought Xiling some graceful temperament. However, if you look down from a height of 7,000 meters, you will find that Xiling and Dalin are not comparable at all.

Although the city of Xiling is also a large city where hundreds of aristocratic families gather, there is still a gap between aristocratic families. The clan land of each aristocratic family is separated by at least two or three blocks. However, Dalin City may be because of the wealth of land and the clan land, and the clan land is very closely connected.

Tang Luo had seen more than one or two places separated by a wall of two families, which was almost unimaginable in Xiling.

A glimpse of the leopard can be seen, but as long as you have enough imagination, you can also see the small knowledge.

Although he was sitting on the back of the Chuanyun Beast, after the enhanced hearing, he could still hear the crowds of people in the city below, and noisy information swarmed in. Tang Luo could not hear any available information, and there was no one who spoke official words in the entire Dalin.

The only one with information about Mandarin is the streets and alleys, where some wanderers gather, and the Mandarin they speak is just for attracting customers.

As one of the cities with the highest grain production in Longzhou, I don’t know how many aristocratic families and wandering warriors come to buy food, but for most people who only know local dialects and official dialects, Dalin is no different from a foreign country.

Tang Luo believed that those guys and shopkeepers must be able to understand the official language, but they answered in the dialect of Dalin, which made this group of dog food hit a soft nail. Perhaps every businessman who entered Dalin without preparation would face such a dilemma.

And whenever this happens, the group of gangsters who are staying in the streets and alleys talking about official words will come up at the right time.

Without thinking, it is a job, a joint exploitation between the gangsters and shopkeepers, and the target is the group of fat sheep who do not understand the dialect of Dalin.

If it weren't for bringing Cui Dayou, Tang Luo, the person who needed to buy six million bags of food, would be the fattest one among the fat foreign sheep.
