Chapter 1386 (1/2)

The security department is not particularly large. At the beginning, it was established as a ”Chamber of Commerce” and organized by businessmen themselves.

Later, the power and responsibility of the security department became greater and greater, and there were even autonomous patrol police and Security Court.

At that time, the Chief Secretary for security was very close to the governor's office. He bought the governor of Britain and gave the Chinese people's security office the power of ”subordinate organs of the governor's office”. Only then did it become a legal organization.

This subordinate organ has its own jurisdiction, police and courts.

Bai Yuanye pointed to the towering tall building: ”these were prepared by the first rich businessmen. In a foreign country, they also want to have their own power.”

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

”Seventy percent of Singapore's population is Chinese. The richest group of Chinese immigrants came about a hundred years ago. Of course, some people came earlier, but at that time they were all poor people.” Bai Yuanye said again.

Gu Qingzhou understands.

A hundred years ago, the imperial court became worse and worse. Foreigners entered China. Many rich people, especially those along the coast, began to feel uneasy.

So someone came to Singapore with his family property.

Those of them are the cornerstone of the Chinese people in Singapore. They have capital, business acumen, and even pull their own workers from home.

At that time, the British government began to colonize this land, and the environment here was relatively stable.

Gu Qingzhou said, ”I heard that the British supported a Malay royal family. Now there is a royal family in name only, right?”

”Yes, there is one. They don't live here, but in Penang.” Bai Yuanye road.

He looked at the canoe and said, ”Singapore is a small place. Most of the pressure from the British is economic, and others are OK.

At least there are British warships in the harbor town, and the people feel at ease. There is no fear that their homes will be destroyed by artillery all day. You see what I mean? ”

Of course Gu Qingzhou understands.

Compared with the domestic situation, Singapore is very stable.

People living here believe in the strength of the British government.

Like Yuecheng, the safety of the people depends entirely on the military strength of the company. As soon as the Secretary's family fell, Yuecheng was destroyed.

For example, in warlord separatist China, Singaporeans are not worried that the British government will suddenly fall one day. Therefore, the environment here is relatively relaxed and stable.

It's just compared with China.

”Mrs. Si, will you be at a loss?” Bai Yuanye suddenly asked, ”is there such a blankness that the world is big but there is no place to live?”

Gu Qingzhou thought and shook his head, ”No.”

Bai Yuanye smiles.

Gu Qingzhou said seriously, ”we are not arrogant. When there is no shelter, we will modify the house, increase security and build a shelter ourselves.

Many people can't do it, not because they are incompetent or unjust, but because they have no way. Without huge economic and military strength, we can't boast such a reputation.

But we are different.

My husband and father-in-law are warlords. We have our own capital. Of course, we should build our own shelter. Therefore, I say that there is no confusion and anxiety. It is not an innovation, nor is it perfunctory. ”

She said and stared at Bai Yuanye.

Bai Yuanye was looked a little strange by her, and at the same time, he was a little uneasy in his heart.

He hesitated and asked, ”Mrs. Si, do you want to replace the British colonial government?”

If so, others will be upset.

Gu Qingzhou didn't see what he wanted from his face, and his temptation to him was ineffective. He only said, ”how can it be replaced? We also want the protection of the British.”

Bai Yuanye also wanted to talk to Gu Qingzhou about something, but he thought they had been standing at the door for a long time, and it was hot under the shadow of the tree. Gu Qingzhou was sweating on his forehead, so he immediately invited Gu Qingzhou into the building.
