Scholars, who are sent to study abroad and are sent by the government, must be treated differently.
The group of people sparsely said "yes".
However, Ambassador Hu did not take it seriously and did not force them to say anything about the emperor's great grace. He may have felt that the imperial court was like yesterday's flower and could not last more than a few days.
Now that the little emperor Xuantong is in power, no one will take this little emperor seriously.
He nodded slightly and went on to talk about the various benefits of studying in Japan and returning to China.
A phone call is all about coercion and inducement!
The implication is that you students should not do unthinkable things and cause trouble for us. You must collude with the chaotic party and ruin your bright future...
Ambassador Hu waved his hand and told the official students to leave, and then spoke to the self-funded students.
It has more content than the official version.
If you study well and become an official student, your future will be bright and bright!
Try to perform well.
It’s an old story.
Exited the embassy in Japan.
It was still the minister in Japan who brought them to Japan from Shanghai.
The minister's surname is Wu. I don't know why he is named, but he is always called Minister Wu.
Without further ado, Minister Wu led Bai Gui and others, about eighty people in total, to rent a carriage from a nearby car dealership and went straight to the First Higher Education School.
Since the Meiji Restoration promulgated the "School System", education in Japan has been continuously reformed. Initially, the school system for middle school education in Japan was different, ranging from two years to six years. After rectification, it was changed to an ordinary middle school (five years) in 1886.
), and high schools (two years), implementing a seven-year system.
Ordinary middle schools are equivalent to junior high schools in modern education, and senior middle schools are equivalent to high schools.
At the same time, high schools were renamed "high schools" in 1894, which is why Japan's colleges and universities are high schools. At the same time, five government-run colleges and universities were set up in five administrative regions across the country for university preparatory courses. These five colleges and universities were respectively
Named from the first to the fifth, the one located in Tokyo is the first high school.
Ichiko is located in Hachioji City, Tokyo, about 40 kilometers away from the center of Tokyo.
Sitting on the carriage, Bai Gui looked at the wad of money in his hand.
The embassy in Japan gave me a 30-yen allowance, and if I eat frugally, it can be said to be enough to cover my expenses for a few months.
Now the price of goods in Japan is 60 yuan per liter for first-class rice and 33 yuan per liter for flour. Meat is more expensive. Beef is about 1 yuan and 20 yuan per catty, and chicken is 3 yuan and 60 yuan per piece. However, aquatic products are cheap, so they are all expensive.
You can buy a fish for only ten dollars...
If you are not too frugal, you can go to a house owner and hire a few girls, and you can live a month of leisurely life!
"It would be great if the embassy in Japan could always be so generous!"
"It is estimated that these thirty yen will be the allowance for this half year, or even a year..."
Bai Gui shook his head.
From Liu Xueyu's mouth, he also learned about the embarrassment of some students studying in Japan. There was simply not enough money to spend. The embassy in Japan probably paid them a subsidy because they were new to Japan, and the subsequent subsidy may have been in arrears.
Now the Qing government can no longer allocate much money.
What is unspeakable is that the embassy in Japan needed to borrow debt from the Bank of Japan to survive. In previous years, the embassy in Japan was still a Chinese-style building, but due to aging, it was really unfit for construction, so the Qing government could only pay 9,000 yuan.
It was renovated in Japan.
The embassy is the face of a country.
But the Qing court also owed this money.
Hachioji City is located on the dividing line between the Kanto Mountains and the Kanto Plains.
Along the way, we rode horses, and in less than an hour, we saw the low Takao Mountain in Kanto in the distance.
The carriage stopped at the school gate.
This is a rather Western-style school. In the middle of the main entrance of the school, there is a school emblem inlaid with a height. In Roman mythology, the goddess Minerva represents the "letter" of the olive, and the military god Mars symbolizes the "cypress leaf" of the martial arts.
, symbolizing both civil and military capabilities.
When you enter the building and look up, you can see the tall tower standing on the two-story foreign-style building lecture hall opposite the gate. The round top of the tower is inlaid with a huge self-ringing bell. The top of the tower is a golden dome. The afterglow of the setting sun falls, and it is golden.
.
Minister Wu took them into the office building.
In the principal's office, Bai Gui stood in the corridor, leaning against the wall, and saw the principal of Yi Gao, a gentle and middle-aged man. He glanced at the name tag posted on the door, his name was Yoshino Hiroken.
There is also a portrait of Confucius enshrined on the wall.
After talking for about a quarter of an hour or two, Minister Wu came out.
"You can enroll in school later. If you have anything you want to take care of, you can go to the embassy. If you are sick, you can also come to the embassy to send letters..."
Minister Wu glanced at the students in front of him and sighed.
The Japanese students who stayed in the corridor all expressed their thanks.
Soon, several teaching assistants arrived and led them to the students' dormitories.
The dormitory is also a Western-style building, with four people per room.
The first high school has a student self-governance system, and the teaching assistants are only responsible for some chores. The allocation of dormitories is under the jurisdiction of the student department. The people in the student department saw these international students coming in, because they were all wearing long robes and mandarin jackets with pigtails.
Some people started laughing.
Wait until your name and student status are recorded.
Bai Gui frowned, looked at the students who were laughing at them, and turned to Liu Mingda in Japanese: "I heard that Japan is a country that values etiquette. I didn't expect that my eyes were opened after I came here."
“Why it’s an eye-opener.”
Liu Mingda complimented him at the right time.
He knew that this was when Bai Gui began to quote scriptures to undermine these Japanese people. They were not afraid of these Japanese people, because they were born in Japan after all, and if they had any shortcomings, the Japanese would not look good in international public opinion.
Besides, if people are afraid of trouble, more people will bully them.
This is different from when Bai Gui was in the Lu family, because at that time he was respectful and followed the rules. It was a feudal etiquette! It was a rule!
Now in a high school, getting along as equals is the accepted etiquette!
In different scenarios, the decisions to deal with things are also different!
"We are from Chang'an. When you look up in Chang'an, you can see the Great Ci'en Temple. The Great Ci'en Temple is where Master Xuanzang translated Tianzhu scriptures, and it is also a temple where he teaches his disciples..."
Bai Gui slowly spoke.
The Japanese students in the student department, sitting on the bench, also frowned slightly. It sounded like they should not interrupt other people's communication. This is polite.
Besides, they were also somewhat interested in what Bai Gui said.
Where is the spiritual homeland of the Japanese people?
That’s Datang!
Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is also familiar to Japanese people. It can be said that when studying Tang poetry, countless people mention Chang'an, and there are too many scenery connected with Chang'an.
Master Xuanzang mentioned by Bai Gui is even more famous!
In later generations, the Journey to the West novel was made into a film and television drama. The earliest version was not the 1986 version of CCTV, but the Japanese version. However, the Japanese film was too eye-catching and was disgusted by Chinese public opinion, so they allocated money to film the 86 version.
Version of Journey to the West...
Master Xuanzang’s status in Buddhism goes without saying.
