Cutting off pigtails caused quite a stir both in Yigao and the embassy in Japan.
But it was finally calm.
It also made everyone respect Bai Gui more. Although the embassy would not handle this matter as a rule, as the deputy minister, Bai Gui could be said to have resisted the pressure from the embassy, which is worthy of praise.
"Bai Sang handles things in an orderly manner. In time, he will definitely become the mainstay of your country."
When Bai Gui went to the first high school student department, Tohei Saburo said.
What he said is not wrong. After graduating from overseas students and returning to China, no matter how they mix, they will not be too bad. Especially prestigious overseas students like Bai Gui will be entrusted with important responsibilities once they return to China.
Their Japanese students also know this.
Idiots like Hirano Mouta are in the minority after all!
Making friends is common sense!
Just like when Zhu Liankui went to Amei and Ken to perform tricks, in order to circumvent the Chinese Exclusion Act, he also called himself a royal family and wore a three-clawed python robe. The royal family must be different from the common people. Foreigners discriminated against Qing people, but how could foreign commoners do the same?
I would not be so confident as to discriminate against the Qing royal family...
"Brother Dongping, you're welcome. Your father is also a senior official in Nara County..."
Bai Gui shook hands and smiled modestly.
"I am the third son in the family, and the family's property has little to do with me. Unlike in your country, the second son can also get a lot of money and even family property."
Saburo Tohei's words were quite helpless.
"Those people are destined to be eliminated and left to their own devices..."
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows. When Tohei Saburo mentioned this, he must have something nice to say to Tohei Saburo.
This involves Dongying’s property inheritance law at this time.
According to regulations, it is the eldest son of the family who inherits the property and reputation, so those who go to universities in Tokyo or various places to study at universities are basically the Jiro, Sanro and others of the family. Basically, you will not see Taro and Daro studying.
, they are all required to inherit the family business at home.
When the first day came, the business cards given to Bai Gui basically had the names Jiro and Saburo.
Hearing this, Saburo Tohei was very happy.
People all like to hear good things.
Even though I know that no matter how hard I work, I can't compare to the family fortune that my brother inherited, but these words sound much nicer and more comfortable to hear, don't they?
The two continued to talk, and after a while, some ministers from the student department came over. The three departments of the first high school each had their own ministers, totaling 14 people in total, including Bai Gui, there were 15 people.
"The seniors from Dongda University came here a few days ago and asked us freshmen to choose to join major interest clubs as soon as possible. You will go back and inform the students in each department later..."
"Which interest club you want to join, make a note of the list."
Minister Fujiwara Yata glanced at everyone present and said slowly.
Interest clubs are divided into big clubs and small clubs. The big clubs must be flocking to them, while some small clubs are unattended, so statistics can be distributed easily. If there are too many people signing up for any interest club, some will be filtered out and selected.
Enter the small club.
"What kind of clubs are there?"
These Japanese freshmen had just graduated from ordinary middle schools, and there were many country people. They had never heard of anything like a hobby club. At this time, the Japanese hobby club was still a new thing. During the shogunate period, bushido, calligraphy, etc.
Painting, ikebana, etc. are also learned by the upper class, especially bushido warriors. Ordinary civilians are only allowed to have one sword on their body, while samurai are allowed to have two fighting swords and one rib.
"The Kendo Club and the Judo Club invite the remaining samurai from the shogunate period to give lectures on kendo. The Judo Club, the Flower Arrangement Club, the Literary Club and other interest clubs will also associate with the girls' school. I don't need to explain the benefits."
He smiled.
Everyone showed a knowing smile.
Bai Gui also understood.
At this time, there were no girls enrolled in the first high school, so it goes without saying that these teenagers were excited when they heard that they could join the all-girls school by joining the hobby club.
Japan’s 1879 Education Order stipulates: “In schools, men and women are not allowed to study in the same room, but there is no problem in primary schools for men and women to live in the same room.”
However, there are also specially established women's colleges and universities in Japan, which specialize in teaching "women's important matters" such as "the way of self-cultivation, the rules of advancing and retreating, the key to housekeeping and economics, and the method of raising children." For example, the school has been established for more than ten years.
Dongying Girls Normal School.
However, most girls' schools are very similar to those in the Qing Dynasty and are also missionary schools.
The reason why there are many girls studying in church schools is because most of the teachings in church schools are some doctrines, Bibles and other things. People with a little money will not go to church schools, so church schools can only recruit poor people and women.
Studying in a missionary school includes food, accommodation, and money.
After Minister Fujiwara finished speaking, the meeting adjourned and Bai Gui was asked to stay.
"Brother Meihe."
He opened his mouth, considered his words for a while, looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Sorry, you don't have the kendo club, judo club and other hobby clubs in Dongda..., no, I mean, those samurai
I won’t teach you martial arts.”
"The difference between doors?"
Bai Gui replied.
Japanese people will learn "Chinese Studies" from elementary school, so some idioms are also familiar to them.
"Yes, that's what it means. As long as you can understand it."
Minister Fujiwara walked to the entrance with the book under his arm, paused again, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he did not say anything and left.
Return to the dormitory.
Bai Gui's dormitory is in the same building as the dormitories of other international students.
"What? They've gone too far!"
"Differences in doorways! These Japanese pirates really have no sense of shame. Why didn't they mention the differences between doors when they sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty? Now let's talk about the differences between doors."
Some people said angrily.
They were very angry. When they first started to register for school, Bai Gui cited scriptures and undermined the unity of this group of Japanese people. Unexpectedly, he had no intention of correcting his mistakes and only gave a verbal apology without any sign of repentance.
"Brother He Feng, be calm and don't have to be familiar with them. This is the case for all small families!"
"Japan is an island country, and England is also an island country. Island countries are so narrow-minded. Japan's so-called education is also to learn from England. What is the education of the English Bacon? He said that gentlemen should be educated and cultivate gentlemen, but England can start as a pirate..."
Bai Gui sneered a few times and calmed down the angry Liu Risheng.
When everyone heard Bai Gui's disparagement, they all nodded in unison, and couldn't help feeling much happier. Comparing with the narrow-minded islanders, it seemed that they had no self-restraint.
The educational thought in Japan at this time was "Scottish Theory of Education". The so-called Spencer was Spencer, and Spencer was an Englishman. His educational views also absorbed some of Bacon's views.
