After Mr. Fujino came over, Saio also introduced Shirogui to him. Only then did he find out that he was a Japanese named Hachiheiji. He came from Mito, Kanto. He also wore glasses on his nose like most intellectuals.
He is the teacher of Shiwu Zhai Japanese crash course.
"Mr. Fujino?"
Bai Gui was surprised when he heard this familiar title.
But it soon became calm. This was probably not the Mr. Fujino in Brother Xun's works. Mr. Fujino from Sendai was a medical student, and at this time he was probably still teaching at the Sendai Medical College.
In 1870, in order to meet the needs of conscription, taxation, household registration, etc., Emperor Meiji of Japan promulgated the "Order on the Permission of Common People's Miao Characters", and later in 1875, the "Order on the Compulsory Calling of Common People's Miao Characters" was issued, stipulating that all Japanese people must have
Surnames. However, Japanese commoners with low education can only choose names they are familiar with, so Japanese surnames often include words such as Chuan, Tian, Shan, Ye, etc.
Fujino, as the name suggests, means a wild place with vines.
This is also a common surname for Dongying people, similar to Zhao Qian Sun Li.
As for the teachers of the Japanese crash course, it is not surprising. Just like most of the Western lecturers now, they are also Westerners. Very few international students who have returned from studying abroad will "degenerate" and become just a foreign language lecturer after returning to China.
.
At this time, Japan was only barely able to squeeze into the ranks of the great powers. The life of the domestic civilians was not necessarily better than that of the people under the Qing government. It was common for civilians to starve to death. However, the Japanese who learned Chinese only had to travel far to
If you go to the Qing Dynasty, you can find a good job as a Japanese lecturer and get generous rewards.
"Bai Sang, you are welcome to come and study in my class. I have handouts here. You can borrow them to study first."
Fujino Haheiji was also very happy to hear that Bai Gui was the new member to join their Japanese crash course. For every additional person, the reward he received would be correspondingly higher.
He speaks Chinese well, but every word is like a stuck tape. It has the special pronunciation of Japanese people. It is the same as the Mandarin spoken by Guangdong people. It can be heard at a glance. The words are clear and round, but
It's just weird.
Fujino Haheiji added, "The teaching materials are all specially customized and there is nothing superfluous."
"Thank you, Mr. Fujino."
He stood up and bowed to express his gratitude. He was a teacher with great courtesy. We should not be biased just because he was Japanese.
Soon, the meal was finished.
Bai Gui first went to the East Corridor apartment where Fujino Haheiji lived and borrowed a set of textbooks. It was a thick book, two or three inches thick, with a cowhide cover. The name of the publisher on the title page of the textbook was written in Japanese, and it should be a textbook published in Japan.
He left the Normal School, bought some snacks, went to the side room of the lecture hall, looked for Zhaifu, and gave the snacks to Zhaifu to express his gratitude for today's meal.
Zhaifu was also very happy. He led Bai Gui to Xipu's dormitory and found a dormitory with few people.
The dormitory is Datongbu, which may be a few people to a room, or it may be a room for dozens of people. Originally, as a rule, students like Bai Gui who are exempted from tuition will sleep in dormitories with many people. But when Zhaifu saw Bai Gui
He reciprocated the favor, so he favored his personal favor and used the power in his hands to transfer him to a high-quality dormitory.
It's said to be superior, but it's just that there are fewer people and the lighting is better. It's impossible to live in a single room!
"The students here are also in the Japanese crash course. You are in the same class as them, so you can ask a lot of questions."
Saifu said.
The Normal School is divided into Zhidaozhai, Qiuzhizhai, Xueguzhai, Xingyizhai, and Shiwuzhai. There are several disciplines in the school. It is similar to the division of college majors in later universities. This division method originated from Hu in the Song Dynasty.
Ai's teaching method of dividing fasts, also called Suhu teaching method, was used by local colleges in later generations.
Entering the dormitory, there was a 17 or 18-year-old boy lying half on the bed, with his legs crossed on the fence, holding a magazine in his hand and reading it with relish.
Zhaifu said a few words to him, and he got off the bed and greeted Bai Gui warmly.
"Please give me some advice!"
The two bowed to each other and announced their names.
This 17 or 18-year-old boy is called Liu Mingda. His family is a wealthy businessman in Qin Province, engaged in the raw silk business. His father owns a mulberry orchard in the south and transports it back to Wu's Cotton Mill.
"Brother Bai, if you want to buy cloth, you can tell me and I will get it at a discount."
Liu Mingda put the book under his ribs, smiled at Bai Gui, and then walked out of the dormitory and walked towards the lecture hall. It was almost time for classes to start.
The status of merchants at this time was different from what it had been a few decades ago. It was not at all contemptible. Under the influence of the West, most people also focused on money. After all, even the top picks could set up factories and do business.
After Liu Mingda and Zhaifu left, he took a closer look and found that there were only two people in this dormitory including him.
The other person's bed was of high value, made of coarse blue foreign cloth, and the cotton quilt was sewn with silk. The inside and outside showed the generosity of the owner.
"This should be a kid from a wealthy family specially chosen by Zhaifu to take care of me."
Bai Gui secretly thought.
Although the students who come to study in normal schools are basically not short of money and have much more money than ordinary people, they are also divided into different grades. Different grades require different dormitories.
He probably also relied on his status as the head of the case, so no one would comment on him if he lived here.
…
Bai Gui had just registered for school, and the prison hospital gave him two days off.
He returned to the inn.
Zhou Yuan and others were already waiting for him.
"The teacher who teaches us English is actually a red-haired foreigner. It's really strange." Three people who entered Xianning County School talked about interesting things about their enrollment.
Like Fujino Haheiji, the person who taught English was also a Westerner.
"The red-haired man can speak English and must be Scottish!"
Bai Gui ate the food and said. The Scots probably couldn't survive in China anymore and came to the Qing Dynasty to be Spanish teachers. This is indeed a good way out. No upper-class British gentleman would go to a remote place like Qin Province.
, aggrieved to teach Spanish in the county school.
They specially ordered a table of food in the restaurant. After eating this time, if they had time to meet again, it would be time for the college to have a holiday.
"Scottish, not English?"
Several people listened to the conversation with great interest.
"In Europe, when the Holy Roman Empire was still there, black hair was the noblest race. Today's Italians have black hair. They are descendants of the Romans, and the blond and blue-eyed Westerners now invaded the Western Roman Empire.
The barbarians..."
"The red-haired Scots were the first aborigines of the British Isles. The native land of England is the British Isles..."
Bai Gui originally wanted to use the Turks and the Huns as examples, but suddenly remembered that he was still in the Qing Dynasty, so he stopped talking here.
Cultural self-confidence seems to be commonplace in later generations. No one would think that Westerners are a head above themselves. But when this nation is in danger, it is extremely common to advocate ****. How could it not be the case?
Do you have a tendency to worship foreign things?
He didn't want to see his classmates look like this.
"There is a record in "Book of the Later Han: Biography of the Western Regions": Its people are all grown up and upright, similar to China, so it is called Da Qin..."
Seeing that several people didn't believe it, Bai Gui brought up the records in the history books.
