Kinoshita Yoshiro was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything. Now he also had a certain understanding of Xiao Chen. He knew that this person always meant what he said. As long as Xiao Chen didn't agree with something, no matter how he talked or used both soft and hard words, it was useless.
of.
To be honest, Kinoshita Yoshiro didn't take Xiao Chen seriously at first. He always felt that he was too young, and he was dissolute in his words and deeds, greedy for money, lustful, arrogant and uninhibited, and did whatever he wanted. He seemed to be ignorant of the world and was playing games with the world.
But after getting along with him for a long time, I know that this person is far from being as simple as I thought...
Yes, how can it be ordinary people who can make so many Chinese heroes willing to follow them?
But this is actually a good thing for Japan.
At least you can get huge benefits from your trade with him. Of course, Yanyun County may get even greater benefits.
But after all, Yanyun County is just a county in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Xiao Chen is only the governor of Yanyun. No matter how powerful he is, he will not pose any threat to Japan.
It will only threaten the work of their emperor Li Wanjiang.
Then maybe in the near future, there may be some conflicts between them. At that time, Japan will take advantage of the situation and intervene, and gain great benefits when their monarchs and ministers fight against each other.
"If Xiao Chenjun insists, then so be it." He still looked very disappointed, "I heard that Xiao Chenjun is going to open several schools in Changshan Prefecture, including a military academy, right? Then we can select some students to come here to follow
Are you studying together?"
"Of course." Xiao Chen agreed, "We are friendly neighbors, and we should have more exchanges. If possible, I also hope that Japan can send some military experts to be professors, so that we can learn from each other. Of course,
Not only military exchanges, but also our cultural exchanges should be strengthened..."
"That's great. Many young people in our country are very interested in Chinese culture. They will definitely be willing to come and learn from you... If it is convenient, can I send more people?" Kinoshita Yoshiro was very happy.
"The more the merrier!" Xiao Chen waved his hand, "We will also send some young people to Japan to study with you. We are now teaching Yi Zi... No matter how many students you come, I will be responsible for their food and accommodation. I
I also hope that you Japanese people will take good care of my people, so please do everything."
"Okay, that's it!" Kinoshita Yoshiro said, "Then I'll arrange for them to come over when I get back. Wouldn't five hundred people be too much?"
"Hahaha, Kinoshita-kun, five hundred people is not too many, but too few. How about this, how about each of us sending a thousand people?" Xiao Chen looked down on the stinginess of the little devil.
Kinoshita Yoshiro happily agreed, and everyone was happy.
Only Yoshiro Kinoshita went back alone, while Gozo Miyamoto and Nako Kudo stayed behind.
"Mr. Miyamoto, if you are willing, you can take up a professor position in our military academy. The subject is kendo. Please give me all you have to teach me. Don't hold anything back." Xiao Chen directly told Gong.
Ben Wu Zang arranged a very suitable position.
"I think I don't have the qualifications, right?" Miyamoto Gozo was very willing, but he was still a little humble. In fact, it was not considered humble, because he was defeated miserably by Xiao Ye that day. It was true that he was a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Miyamoto's swordsmanship is very good. My brothers and I admire it very much. Please accept this job. It will be of great significance to promote martial arts exchanges between our two countries. Please don't do it, Mr. Miyamoto."
I refuse to work." Xiao Chen said.
"If possible, can I also want to be a teacher?" Nako Kudo is very interested in teaching. "But I don't have the ability of Mr. Miyamoto and others, so I can only be a language teacher."
"Friendship begins with communication. Miss Naiko, as the ambassador of friendship between our two countries, this job is really suitable for you! Your Chinese dialect is simply better than mine. The students must
I will like you very much." Xiao Chen was very happy.
"But do you have so many girls in Yanyun willing to learn the Japanese language?" Kudo Nako said.
"Why does it have to be a girl? The college I run does not distinguish between men and women!" Xiao Chen has always dared to be the first in the world. "No matter professors or students, they all work together. Men and women are equal and receive education.
power.”
"Oh, Mr. Xiao Chen, what you are doing is really amazing!" Yoshiro Kinoshita exclaimed, "I don't think there is anywhere like this in the world now. You are making history."
He didn't know that Xiao Chen had been creating history and changing history...
Xiao Chen has opened more than a dozen colleges in Changshan Prefecture. The requirements for recruiting students in the colleges are relatively high. First of all, they must be literate and digitized. They must be under 18 years old and over 13 years old, and they must pass rounds of assessments.
Only those who pass the examination can be admitted.
The subjects studied in each college are different. They are divided into the School of History and Humanities, the School of Architecture, the School of Economics, the School of Languages, the Military Academy, the School of Government Affairs, the Polytechnic, the Medical School, and various technical colleges.
After passing the assessment, students can be designated by teachers or voluntarily choose to enter any college. After graduation, the college will arrange their careers according to their level of study.
In theory, as long as you can graduate, you can get a job.
In addition to several major colleges in Changshan Prefecture, Xiao Chen has also set up primary schools in all prefectures and counties in Yanyun for all children over seven years old to attend. This is not voluntary, but mandatory. At this age, you must enter the school.
However, the official is responsible for all expenses including food, clothing, housing, transportation, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones while the children are studying.
This is also a big expense, but Xiao Chen knows the importance of education very well, so he is willing to spend no matter how much money he spends.
Chen Jisheng rarely objected, but expressed strong support!
In other words, Xiao Chen finally did something right...
However, there are still many people who are unwilling to send their children to school. They feel that there is no future in going to school and it is a waste of time and a waste of family labor.
Children from poor families can go to the fields to help at the age of seven. If they cannot do heavy work, they can still plant rice seedlings and hoe weeds.
My family has been farming for generations, how can I still be an official?
Rather than wasting these few years, it is better to let the children learn to grow crops as early as possible. In the future, when we are old, these fields will not be barren.
However, the condition of being responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation is quite attractive... I don’t know if it is true?
Regardless of whether the common people objected or not, Xiao Chen and Chen Jisheng had a very tough attitude. They issued an official document to all states and counties that school-age children must enter school!
If anyone is unwilling, you can come to my door to persuade me, and I can use reason and emotion... If the folks still can't understand, then I can enforce it!
