"Facing the Germans in the south, we can give them some autonomy, but their right to freedom and autonomy is not unlimited.
You must know that this is Brazil, not the German Empire!"
Tang Ning will never compromise on education reform, especially on the issue of church transfer.
Private education can be temporarily put on hold and we can deal with it later, but how can this be done if religion controls the power of education? Tang Ning cannot tolerate it now.
"In the two southern states, there are not only Germans, but also Italians and Portuguese.
Miguel, you can ask Italian officials to do this. Of course, the Portuguese in the south must also cooperate. You must deprive them of their religious rights to education."
The king's attitude is very firm. As the Minister of Education, Miguel is actually very disgusted with the Germans having their own right to education.
Now that the king's attitude is very clear, Miguel will never be merciful.
"Your Majesty, I understand what to do."
Tangning put away the lighter and said in a serious tone: "As long as you understand, you can go back first. I hope to achieve results as soon as possible. This matter must not be delayed."
"Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission!"
Miguel saluted and left quickly.
"Silver, you did a very good job in the Brazilian cultural work I taught you."
Tang Ning has been promoting the shaping of Brazilian cultural identity since his recovery, and he specifically asked Silva, a poet, to be responsible for this aspect.
Although Silva's current cultural work is very one-sided and focuses mainly on literature, Tangning is still quite satisfied.
Literature, the literature of a nation or a country, is the core of a nation’s culture.
Silva did the right thing, at least he got the point.
"I know the level of Brazilian and Portuguese literature, and I have seen the results of your current work.
The essay competition was very well done, and I have read some of the award-winning literary works. Although there are only some fine works, and most of the cultural works are very childish, they contain rich emotions and are worthy of encouragement.
You are right to encourage these intellectuals who promote our Brazilian culture."
The Brazilian literature market is very narrow. In this case, the country can only support it personally.
If Brazilian literature is allowed to develop naturally, it will be very unreliable. As for promoting it after the country becomes rich, the effect then will not be as strong as if it was supported from the beginning.
During the great Brazilian reform, Brazil will undergo a transformation from weak to strong. Literary works appeared during this period, which are naturally better than those written in different periods later.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. You inspired me."
Silva was very happy with the king's praise, but he also understood that it was not his own credit.
Silva said humbly: "Dear His Majesty the King, you personally praised the history of Portugal and Brazil and set a very good example.
And it was Your Majesty who asked me to start the essay competition. If it weren’t for your proposal, I wouldn’t have been able to discover so many Brazilian cultural talents.”
Literary essay solicitation activities actually appeared very early. Some newspapers have already done it, and many are still doing it now.
Newspapers in later generations no longer have the power to shape literary works, but at this time newspapers were an important medium for writers to publish their works.
As early as the 17th century, there were newspapers that specialized in literary content, and many literary figures also came from the field of newspaper literature.
However, the state personally conducts very few essay solicitation activities. Brazil thinks of using the power of the state to promote it, which will of course be more effective than private efforts.
After all, Brazil is a country no matter how you say it. Even if the country only uses part of its power, you cannot compare with it as an individual.
"In terms of promoting literature, you have generally done a good job.
But I hope you add more elements of the Tupi Indians. If we Portuguese can gain a foothold in Brazil, it goes without saying that the help of the Tupi Indians is indispensable.
The Portuguese in Brazil developed precisely because of their initial marriage and alliance with the Tupi Indians to deal with Spanish forces and the Guaraní tribe.
We need to expand our thinking, and while promoting Portuguese culture, we should also appropriately absorb the cultures of other nations.
Indian culture is very weak, and it can completely absorb some good factors and transform it into a sub-part of Portuguese-Brazilian culture. In this way, the sense of identity of Indians can be further enhanced."
Indians have never been a whole and are divided into countless tribes.
The great success the Portuguese achieved in Brazil was indispensable without the help of some Tupi Indian allies.
Some culturally backward Tupi Indian tribes along the coast of Brazil accepted Portuguese religious culture and married with the Portuguese to form a community of interests. It is precisely because of this that Portugal later expanded so smoothly.
When Portugal develops Brazil, it is not only the national-level development team, but also the Brazilian flag team.
The composition of the Brazilian flag force is composed of Portuguese, Portuguese-Indian mixed blood, and pro-Portuguese Indians.
The famous São Paulo flag force among the flags helped Portugal expand in the south, destroying the local Guaraní Indians and Spanish missionary organizations, and expanding Brazilian land directly to the border with Paraguay.
Although the goal of the Brazilian flag team is to hunt for treasure and wealth, and there is a lot of gray content, their will, resilience and spirit have made a significant contribution to the development of Brazil.
"Silver, I hope you can select a group of literary works that describe the integration and unity of the Portuguese and Indians to open up Brazil together.
In the work, pay attention to dividing the Indians into several parts.
Those Tupi Indians who stand with us must be praised; those Guarani people who resist us must be evil and ignorant.
Literary works can appropriately describe some of our faults, but the overall aspect must shape our great pioneering spirit and efforts to spread civilization.
The overall theme is that long live Portugueseization, being pro-Portuguese is a righteous act, those who resist are the embodiment of evil and ignorance, and those who resist civilization are fundamentally evil.

In this regard, historical facts can be processed and re-created, and the epic spirit of the marriage between Portugal and India to fight against foreign enemies and the joint development of the flag team culture can be vigorously praised."
Downing is to reshape Brazilian history, beautify the colonial history of glorious Brazil, and shatter the theory of persecution of Indians.
In Brazilian history, the so-called darkness does not exist at all. The history is that the Portuguese brought culture and civilization to many Indians in Brazil.
It was the Portuguese who drove away the ignorance of the Tupi Indians. It was the Portuguese who brought them from tribes into the civilized era. It was the Portuguese who merged with the Indians to create Brazil.
Tangning treated Sibal very seriously.
"To affirm the pro-Portuguese Tupi Indians and discredit those Indians who resisted us, we must shatter the stereotype that Indians are one and shape the justice of our Portuguese entry into Brazil.
I have heard some opinions that it was us Portuguese who brought disaster to the Indians in Brazil. This is simply nonsense.
Those Tupi Indians who have integrated with us are not Indians. How did they suffer disasters?
Aren’t the Brazilian Indians in an ignorant tribe? There is no hatred between them. Are the Tupi and Guaraní one and the same? And do we Portuguese reject all Indians?
How can these bastards ignore our union with many Indians?
We are not Spanish. When did Portugal destroy American civilization? Do the Indians in Brazil have civilization? Do they have an Indian country?
Isn’t it the civilization and culture we brought to the Tupi Indians in Brazil?
Spain and Portugal must be separated. Spain is the bringer of dark disasters, while Portugal is the spreader of light civilization. How can they be compared?
In the cultural field, Silva, you must do this well. I will criticize the so-called dark theory and criticize it."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Silva replied sonorously.
His Majesty the King said about the relationship between Portugal and Brazilian Indians, that the Portuguese brought bright civilization to Brazil, and Silva agreed very much.
In Silva's opinion, the king was absolutely right.
Brazil was originally developed by Portugal to spread civilization and culture, and it has never brought about the destruction of civilization.
Are Brazilian Indians civilized? Not at all.
Are the Brazilian Indians a big tribe that loves each other? Obviously not. The relationship between the Tupi and the Guaraní is not that of a loving family.
The historical reality is that some smart Tupi Indian tribes who longed for civilization took the initiative to unite with the Portuguese and then pioneered together to eliminate the barbaric Guarani people and shape today's Brazil.
