Chapter 484: Encouraging Schooling

In the afternoon, several doctors from the Chinese embassy came to determine that Mr. Ambassador had typhoid fever and needed to be isolated for treatment. Then he got him into the carriage and left the embassy.

When Ji Aojian went out, he could only hear the doorman whispering, "No wonder I've been bloated and sore these days, it turns out that the root of the disease is on Lord Zhao." ”

"Isn't that the case? Now that Lord Zhao leaves, I think we'll be fine soon. ”

So everyone breathed a sigh of relief together.

Ren Xiaodie said to Ji Aojian in the carriage, "Tenth brother, I will leave it to you to buy a manor outside the city to house Lord Zhao." ”

Ji Aojian couldn't help but be surprised, "This is taking care of the Chinese ambassador, as a deputy envoy, how can you shirk it?"

"I didn't know where to buy a house in England. Ren Xiaodie said confidently, "Anyway, you already have a lot of network resources, even if you lend me a loan, I still have to hand over the money to you, and ask you to help find the manor, so you don't have to transfer anymore, it's all up to you."

Ji Aojian thought for a while, "You say this, there is some truth. ”

"It's not too early, so I'll take my leave. ”

"Huh?" Ji Aojian was a little strange when he heard this, "Even if you don't come forward to buy Zhuangzi, you don't need to slip halfway, right?"

"Brother Ten, I have something important to do......

"What's important, is there anything more important than taking care of your boss?"

"I'm going to pick up a bunch of kids, and they're almost out of class. ”

Ji Aojian asked, "What child, did the staff of your embassy bring their family members over?"

"It's not a family. Ren explains. "I am looking forward to the establishment of an embassy in London this time, and at the same time there is one more important matter. It was agreed with the British government to send a group of students to exchange and study here. ”

"It turned out to be a dispatch of international students. "Ji Ao Kendo. "What college did they go to?"

"It's in Oxford. ”

"It's a top university, and it's the same in the world. Ji Aojian praised it, and immediately felt that it was wrong, "Wait, do you want to go to Oxford to pick up people from class? Besides, since it is a university, should they be allowed to live on campus, do you need to bother?"

Ren Xiaodie sighed, "I was supposed to go to Oxford. But when I took them to report, the school arranged an entrance exam for them. ”

"How did it turn out?"

"The grades are not satisfactory, especially the English literacy skills are quite poor. "Oxford University wants them to go to the middle school first, and then report when they are sure that they have passed the entrance exams." ”

"And after that?"

"After that, I found a secondary school in London where the children could learn first. Ren said with a sad face, "Every day I have to pick them up and drop them off from school." I also supervise and evaluate their learning progress, strengthen their foreign language reading and writing, negotiate at any time to protect their rights and interests, and buy them vegetables and cook ......"

Ji Aojian sighed. "You're going to do this all day?"

"Mr. Zhao said, this is my main job, and I am in charge of their studies. Fluttershy spreads her hands. "Tenth brother, you should know why I can't carry out diplomatic activities. I've just been around these little devils all day. ”

"How are these international students selected, and how many are there?"

"Of course, they were all picked out in the national prison. Ren said with a sigh. "I heard that I was going to study in the Barbarian State, but few people were willing to take the initiative to sign up. Originally, the imperial court and the British agreed on 20 quotas, but half of them were drawn by lot. By the time they got on board, there were only seventeen, and in the end, three of them escaped. ”

"The imperial court's method of selecting people is obviously wrong," Ji Aojian sighed, "The children in the Guozi Prison are all children with deep backgrounds, and they can all seek their own futures, who wants to study abroad and endure hardships? ”

"Of the seventeen people, nine of them come from poor families. ”

"What's going on?"

"Because there are nine young masters of the family who were selected, their family bought the children of commoners and donated their prison qualifications, and used these people as substitutes. ”

"I'll go ......" Ji Aojian didn't know what to say, "these families will definitely regret their death in the future." ”

"Why?"

"This is the first batch of talents to study abroad, and they are learning the most advanced knowledge of the contemporary era, and they are very hopeful to become the pillars of the country in the future. Ji Aojian shook his head and sighed, "In more than ten years, such a good thing to stay abroad at public expense will not be able to grab even if you squeeze your head." ”

"Brother Ten, what you said is true. Ren Xiaodie said, "Actually, the foreigners are strong in their ships and their technology is still very advanced, so we should learn from them in terms of utensils." ”

Ji Aojian glanced at her, "Don't you think that as long as you learn at the artifact level, it's okay?"

"yes, yes. Ren Xiaodie nodded again and again, "As long as middle school is the body and Western learning is used, my Celestial Empire will be an incredibly powerful country after dozens of years." ”

"Do those students think the same way?"

"Most of them are, but some people's minds are already dangerous. ”

"Oh, how dangerous?"

Ren Xiaodie said, "There are a few children who say that China is backward in all aspects, and they must not only learn the scientific and technological knowledge of foreigners, but also learn their institutional culture. It's just too extreme, it's terrible. ”

Such an idea is indeed outrageous. "Fluttershy, I have a couplet for you, which you can hang at the door of the embassy so that the students can see it when they enter and leave, so that they can understand the truth of traditional Chinese culture and not go down the wrong path." ”

Ren Xiaodie's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "Please teach me Brother Ten." ”

Ji Aojian cleared his throat and read, "The way to build a country is not etiquette and power. The fundamental picture is not in the human heart. ”

"That's a great thing to say! It's thought-provoking, it's sublime. Ren Xiaodie nodded in appreciation, "Brother Ten, I'll find someone to frame it as a plaque and hang it high." ”

"Well said, well said. Ji Aojian pointed to the ancient tower and said, "Tomorrow morning, my military attache will come to the Chinese embassy to look for you, and you can take him to class with you." ”

Ren Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, "What am I taking him for?"

"Don't you have twenty places to stay abroad, and now there are only seventeen people in class, and there are not many of them. ”

"But this is a cooperative study abroad program between Daming and the UK, and he is not Chinese. ”

"You give him a Chinese visa, and he is Chinese." ”

"Ah, that's okay too?"

"Fluttershy, you still don't fully understand the important function of the embassy......

Ji Aojian was about to popularize science to her, but Guta had already shouted first, "Sir, why should I go to class?"

"If you study hard for a while, you can go directly to Oxford University to study at public expense. Ji Aojian rubbed his nose, "Since there is a ready-made opportunity, I don't have to find another relationship to send you to college." ”

"However, I am a full-fledged diplomat, and if I have to go to class every day, how can I do my job?"

"Oh. Ren Xiaodie laughed beside her, "This kid turns out to be a guy who doesn't like to read. ”

"Guta, this is your job. Ji Aojian said with a pleasant face, "So, you must complete the task seriously." ”

Guta was a little stunned, "How can this be a mission?"

"One of the most important functions of our diplomats is to gather intelligence. "Ji Ao Kendo," and the educational institutions of developed countries are places that specialize in cultivating advanced talents, so this is the field of intelligence that deserves our attention the most. Your mission in going to school is to get their educational content completely and accurately. ”

"Oh, so this is gathering information. ”

Ji Aojian nodded, "As long as we have this precious intelligence information, we can also cultivate talents who are not inferior to advanced countries, so that we can better build our own country and not lag behind them on the road of civilization development." ”

"I totally get it. Guta said solemnly, "Promise to complete the task!"

Ren Xiaodie was stunned and muttered, "There is such a way to encourage school, why did I never think of it?"

"This approach requires a strong sense of patriotism on the part of the target audience. Ji Ao Kendo, "So not everyone can apply it." (To be continued......)
