Rock thought he would be able to get rid of Frank von Adelaide, an eyesore. Unexpectedly, the next day, Rock met Frank von Adelaide again at the Rock Gold Mine.
"Father, you are really haunted." Rock was very depressed and didn't know why Frank von Adelaide came to Rock Gold Mine.
"Oh oh oh, Sir Locke, is the Locke gold mine your property?" Frank von Adelaide realized in hindsight.
Rock didn't answer, looked at Frank von Adelaide's expression calm, and waited for Frank von Adelaide to announce his home.
"Hmm, Sir Locke, hello, I am Frank von Adelaide, Archbishop of the Catholic Diocese of Cape Diocese. May God bless you." Frank von Adelaide was serious.
He is actually an archbishop!
Rock can only be thankful now that Rock did not abuse Frank von Adelaide when Frank von Adelaide was in the police station, otherwise the matter would have become a big deal. In Europe, religion is not a quarrel.
Just for fun.
"So, Mr. Adelaide, why did you come to me?" Rock is patient. If Frank von Adelaide's request is not excessive, Rock can cooperate.
"Sir Locke, I just passed by Ziwei Town. I have to say that it is a beautiful town, full of charm, quiet and peaceful, and it also has a hospital that may be the best in the whole of Johannesburg. The only regret is that Ziwei Town is...
There is not even a church. This is very abnormal. The glory of the Lord should shine to every corner of the world. Ziwei Town should not be a desert of faith-" Frank von Adelaide has a tendency to speak at length.
.
"Stop, Mr. Adelaide, what are you going to do?" Rock didn't want to listen to Frank von Adelaide's nonsense.
"I want to build a church in Ziwei Town." Frank von Adelaide said concisely this time.
"Then you go." Rock didn't limit it. The first building in many small towns is a church, which is normal in Cape.
"I have no money -" Frank von Adelaide finally showed embarrassment on his face, it turned out that he was asking for help from Roque.
"Ha, Mr. Adelaide, I have to say that you are really whimsical. This is the territory of the Protestants. I am the police chief of Johannesburg and you are a Catholic priest. What do you think about asking me to spend money to help you build a church?
"?" Rock was really curious and went to the police chief for help. He didn't know where the entrance to the concentration camp was, right?
If Frank von Adelaide is a Protestant pastor, then it doesn’t matter if Rock pays for it. Anyway, Rock is not the only one to pay for it. Frank von Adelaide will definitely find other people to beg for help.<
/p>
But Frank von Adelaide was a Catholic priest and a German who wholeheartedly opposed the British government, so Rock would never dare to join in the excitement.
"Wait Sir Locke, I know you built Ziwei Town, and every plant and tree there is your hard work. I think you must hope that Ziwei Town will be more beautiful and have more cultural connotation - if you
Help me build a church, and I'll help you build a school in Ziwei Town." Frank von Adelaide made an offer that Rock couldn't refuse.
There is no doubt that if there is anything that Rock is unable to do now, then school must be the top priority.
Rock wants to improve the social status of the Chinese. In addition to laying a good economic foundation, the cultural level of the Chinese - especially the next generation of Chinese - must be continuously strengthened.
When it comes to science and technology, we often say that the Chinese are many years ahead of the white people. In fact, this is all illusion. A long time ago, the science and technology of the East was indeed ahead of the West. However, in modern times, even before the Renaissance, the East began to gradually lag behind the West. For example, when the University of Oxford was founded, the Southern Song Dynasty was facing the invasion of the Jin Dynasty. When Watt developed the steam engine, Kangxi was in the process of pacifying San Francisco, Japan declared war on the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was still busy celebrating Lafayette's 60th birthday—— There are too many similar things. The reason for the gradual backwardness of the East is not just the isolation of the country. The whole society ignores science. There is no systematic inheritance of science and no popularization of culture. It is inevitable to fall behind and be beaten. Rock wants to improve the Chinese people's ability.
social status, it is essential to improve the cultural level of the Chinese.
So Rock opened a night school in the Matilda Gold Mine in order to improve the overall quality of the Chinese.
Unfortunately, so far, the effect is not good, as evidenced by the iron hook.
Since adults are busy with life and have no energy to spend on improving their cultural level, Rock can only pin his hopes on the second generation of Chinese. There are already bilingual schools in Oak Town, Cape Town, and one in Ziwei Town.
The school itself is in Rock's plan.
"Tell me how far you can go." Rock was very interested in Frank von Adelaide.
In other words, Rock is very interested in the German education model.
During the two world wars, Germany was able to withstand the joint attacks of its allies, and the power of science and technology was indispensable.
Look at those scientists that the United States took away from Germany after World War II, Einstein, Fermi, von Braun, Otto Ambrose, etc. After World War II, the United States took away from Germany
1,500 scientists left.
In Rock's time, there were always rumors that the United States had some kind of secret agreement with aliens, that the United States helped conceal the secret of the existence of aliens, and that aliens assisted the United States in developing technology.
There is no evidence to say whether such an agreement exists, but the scientific and technological talents that the United States took away from Germany are similar to getting help from aliens.
"It depends on how much support you can provide, Sir Locke. If you provide enough support, it is not impossible to copy Heidelberg University." Frank von Adelaide said boldly.
The University of Heidelberg is the oldest university in Germany. It currently has five independent departments: theology, law, medicine, philosophy, and natural sciences. Its status in the German education community is unparalleled.
"You don't need to copy Heidelberg University. You just need to copy the library of Heidelberg University, and I will help you build a church." Rock doesn't want to copy Heidelberg University as a whole. Rock wants to take the essence and remove the dross, such as theology.
What?
To train more priests?
Don't be ridiculous, the periodic table of elements is more fun.
"As long as the funds are sufficient, no problem." Frank von Adelaide beamed.
The library of Heidelberg University is the oldest university library in Germany, with a collection of 2.6 million books, including more than 6,000 precious manuscripts and ancient printed volumes, as well as extremely rare 14th-century manuscripts. It is among the libraries of the world's top universities.
Among them, Heidelberg University Library ranks 5th.
The above is the data of Heidelberg University Library in the 21st century, now——
There may not be that many, but it is more likely to be more than 2.6 million volumes. After all, the Heidelberg University Library in the 21st century has experienced the flames of two world wars, especially the Second World War, when the United States and the Soviet Union almost moved the library together.
If Germany is emptied, they will definitely not let go of the Heidelberg University Library.
"How much do you want, please give me a price!" Luo Ke was generous. The only way to copy books these days is to hire people to copy them by hand, especially those ancient printed books and manuscripts. Many of them are unique and unique, and you can't usually copy them.
Copy.
"Let's talk about building the church first, which cost about one thousand pounds." What Frank von Adelaide never forgets is the church.
"Invite ten medical experts to me, and I'll give you a thousand pounds." Rock returned the money.
"Ten? Do you think medical experts are nothing?" Frank von Adelaide said with a horizontal nose and vertical eyes.
"Cut the nonsense, don't care if you are an expert or not, as long as you are a graduate of Heidelberg University School of Medicine, they will be paid a hundred pounds each to work in Ziwei Town, and I will give them twice the salary in Germany." Roque took the money and didn't believe those people.
Heidelberg University Medical School graduates are unmoved.
The purchasing power of the pound is still very strong these days. An ordinary British person can only earn less than 100 pounds a year through hard work. An annual income of more than 100 pounds is already the middle class level in the UK. The economic situation in Germany is far behind.
It is not as good as the UK, so William II is jealous and jealous of his British uncle. The Germans are the same towards the British. As long as there is a high salary as a temptation, working in Ziwei Town will not be a problem.
What's more, one hundred pounds is just an "agency fee". Roque will not be stingy with real talents. For example, Professor Douglas of the Royal Agricultural College of Gloucester, whose annual salary is 400 pounds, and the Director of the British Treasury
The salary is almost the same. If Frank von Adelaide can invite a professor from Heidelberg University School of Medicine, Rock will also offer a high salary, making him willing to stay in Ziwei Town.
"Wait!" Frank von Adelaide snapped his fingers in an inconspicuous manner, turned around and left Rock's office.
Two weeks later, Frank von Adelaide came to Roark triumphantly.
"Sir Locke, please allow me to introduce to you, this is Professor Albrecht Kausor from the School of Medicine at the University of Heidelberg." Frank von Adelaide gave Locke a big surprise.<
/p>
Who is Albrecht Kaussell?
Winner of the 1910 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, he made great achievements in protein and nucleic acid research, and is one of Heidelberg University's most outstanding contributions to human medicine.
"Professor Albrecht, welcome." Rock welcomed him sincerely.
"Thank you, Sir Locke, Frank told me that I can get a laboratory in Ziwei Town." Albrecht Kausor's English is not fluent, but it is within an acceptable range.
"A medical laboratory? No problem." Roque took care of everything. As long as he could retain this great master, a laboratory was nothing. Roque could build him a separate medical school.
"Thank you——" Albrecht Kausser was a little embarrassed.
Roark looks at Frank von Adelaide.
Frank von Adelaide holds out a finger to Rock.
100?
It seems a little missing.
Rock decided to give more: "Professor Albrecht, if you are willing to stay and work, I can give you an annual salary of 400 pounds."
In fact, it’s not much, almost the same as Professor Douglas, but Albrecht Kausser’s achievements are much better than Douglass.
Hearing this number, Albrecht Kausser's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
