Sao Paulo, this city located on the Tropic of Capricorn, established its base on January 25, 1554.
Sao Paulo was officially established as a city in 1711. During the 19th century, Sao Paulo relied on the export of coffee from the Port of Santos and achieved economic prosperity.
After 1881, Sao Paulo ushered in a wave of immigrants, who came to newly cultivated coffee farms from Italy, Japan and other countries.
At the beginning of the 20th century, international coffee prices plummeted due to various factors, and the coffee trade began to become cheap.
The shrinkage of the coffee trade prompted local entrepreneurs to devote themselves to the industrial development of Sao Paulo, and the development of industry allowed Sao Paulo to welcome a new batch of immigrants of different races and cultures.
As of 2010, Sao Paulo had a population of 10.88 million, making it the largest city in Brazil and the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere.
In later generations, Sao Paulo was Brazil's largest economic city and a major north-south logistics center with roads extending in all directions.
However, due to the development of the city, infrastructure cannot keep up, problems such as too many vehicles and traffic jams have caused certain problems to the operation of the city, and there are also many slums.
Due to urban traffic congestion, Sao Paulo found another way to develop air transportation, and later became the third largest city in terms of helicopter transportation volume after New York and Tokyo.
On October 10, 1908, Tangning secretly arrived in loyal Sao Paulo two days ago and began to secretly inspect the Braganza family's home base in Brazil for three days.
"Viscount Ronaldo, well done.
Sao Paulo is our Braganza base in Brazil. I took a tour and found that the population here has exceeded 800,000, and the development is quite good.
But why does such a big city not have a university?"
Tang Ning inspected the prosperous Sao Paulo. The family has managed and developed the place very well. Industry and commerce have been established, the people are in harmony with the royal family, and the city is prosperous.
However, under the superficial prosperity, Tang Ning still discovered many problems, including backward infrastructure, crowded cities, inconvenient transportation, and backward education.
Regarding infrastructure, Tang Ning knew that South America was all the same at this time. Whether it was Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, Santiago, the capital of Chile, or Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, urban construction and transportation were very bad.
Throughout Latin America, the Spanish and Portuguese colonies pale in comparison to the original British colonies of the United States and Canada.
Although they both plundered resources, Britain still knew how to build the foundation, while Spain and Portugal were more about plundering for the sake of plundering, leaving urban development to fate and taking it one step at a time.
It can be said that the four major countries in Latin America, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Mexico, are all the same. Due to the inaction of Spain and Portugal, they rarely vigorously develop, and naturally lag behind the countries developed from the British colonies in various aspects.
"Your Highness, there are no decent universities in Brazil, not a single public one, except for the superficial church schools.
A few years ago, a private Brazilian University, the University of Mendes, appeared. It was established in 1902 and is considered the first private university in Brazil.
However, the teaching quality of this school is very poor, there have been many scandals, and its development is quite poor."
Ronaldo is a descendant of the Braganza family.
He lives as a vassal of his master's family. As the agricultural director of the family's three speakers in St. Paul, his focus is on agriculture, and urban development is not his mission.
"Your Highness, academic qualifications are not popular here in Brazil. The upper class here pays attention to inheritance from generation to generation. Even if you go to university, you will go to Europe to study. No one will look at local schools."
"What are the Republicans doing? They accused us of Braganza for not paying attention to national education, but what about them?"
Tang Ning was shocked. It was only in 1902 that a rubbish private university was established, and there was no public university.
From this, Tangning can completely see how bad the entire Brazilian education system is. No wonder it will be beaten to the ground by the United States in the future.
In the United States, generally people with social status support the establishment of schools. Downing has built a number of universities in the western United States and has also included many private universities, such as Stanford.
Although Downing wanted to control the west, to firmly control the entire western United States, eliminate Pan-Germanic influence, and maintain the foundation, he also really cared about education.
The upper class of Brazil are really a bunch of rubbish. Pedro II is also rubbish, but he was driven away by these rubbish.
"Education is the foundation of a country.
Look at Prussia and see how the United States rose?
After this group of insects drove Pedro away, they started fighting for power and profit themselves, without caring about the country at all.
You talk about doctrine, but your heart is all about business.
South American countries are all rubbish. There is still a civil-military dispute, and both the civil and military governments are a bunch of losers."
It doesn't matter if the city's infrastructure is lagging behind. Tangning experienced this in Mexico, which is next door to California. He was already prepared for Brazil.
In any case, infrastructure construction only costs money and time. It is not difficult to build, but education must be started early.
Tangning never expected that Brazilian education was so backward. There was not even a decent university in the big cities. No wonder he would be a bust in the future.
It has been so long since there has been no decent university, which in Tang Ning's opinion is simply unbelievable.
You know, there are a lot of private public schools in the United States, especially private schools, mainly Ivy League universities, whose history can be directly traced back to the early British colonial history.
In almost every state in the United States, in addition to the public system, there are also private universities, and they are generally built very early. It can be like Brazil.
In the United States, there are more than 300 universities established before 1900; more than 100 universities established before 1850; and more than 25 universities established before 1800.
Even small Japan and the big Eastern countries, after opening their eyes to see the world again, they all know that they value education, and public and private colleges and universities are springing up one after another.
This Brazil sucks!
Sure enough, it must be transformed by a strong man like him.
"Your Highness, do you want to build a university here?"
Ronaldo certainly heard His Highness Tangning's dissatisfaction, and he also knew that the Miguel Braganza family attached great importance to education.
Whether in the Principality of Luxembourg, the Algarve, or the western United States, they all like to establish an education system and build a talent pool loyal to them.
Now His Highness Tangning has come to Brazil to restore the Kingdom of Brazil and restore the glory of Braganza. Seeing how bad education in Brazil is now, the first thing he must do is to reshape it.
"Yes, I will mobilize my family's resources in Europe and North America to open a high-quality university in Sao Paulo to build a talent pool for the kingdom.
Military academies. Brazil still lacks military academies. I also want to establish military colleges."
If you find a problem, you must solve it.
Pretending to be dead won't work. Although it costs a lot of money, the effect is excellent.
Moreover, there are no decent universities in Brazil today. If universities are established now, the royal family’s voice and influence will be rivaled by the republicans in the future.
"The Brazilian university system is almost non-existent, so I have no hope for basic education, but I still want to know?"
Tangning asked with a depressed mood and a disappointed tone.
"Ronaldo, I'm not asking about the number of students in the school. I just want to know what the literacy rate is in society?"
"Your Highness, in fact, Brazil's literacy rate is not bad in South America, at 9%.
Although Brazilians have established few schools, the Japanese, Orientals, Italians, and Germans love to build basic schools. While the schools learn their own language, they also learn Portuguese.”
Ronaldo, thinking about what he saw and knew, said to Tangning.
"In Brazil, our family has also built many schools. This is our family's habit.
After all, many factories have been opened and many literate workers are needed. Duke Francisco still attaches great importance to this.
Under the Duke's orders, the family habitually established schools for their children to learn literacy, and also opened some literacy classes for adults."
