Yu Hai took a sip of tea and asked: "Yu is a little confused. Why does Qiongzhou, which already has an institution like the Institute of Technology, open a similar institution like the Confucius Institute? They are both institutions of higher learning. With similar properties, wouldn’t it be a waste of resources to coexist like this?”
"A waste of resources? Of course not!" Qi Yu refused at first, and then said: "The purpose of building it is for the future of our great country."
"future……"
"Yes, Not Bad!"
Yu Hai seemed to understand, and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Qi Yu smiled and said: "This topic is a bit broad and it is difficult to summarize it in a few words. Let me start with another perspective first, and then introduce some ideas and explain it in depth step by step."
"good!"
"Master Yu, let me ask you, what is the chief executive?"
"Chief?"
In his own professional field, Yu Hai almost opened his mouth and replied immediately: "The so-called administration refers to formulating policy guidelines and promoting their implementation, and then constantly discovering and solving problems until the policy is perfect."
"It makes sense, but Qi has another understanding."
"Oh? Sir, please tell me!"
Qi Yu said 'hmm' and said: "Qi believes that the administration is a precautionary measure based on his own experience and prediction."
Yu Hai seemed to have realized something. He stroked his beard and murmured: "Be prepared for a rainy day..."
"That's right!" Qi Yu nodded and said: "Mediocre administrators only look at the present; but outstanding administrators plan for the future. This is my motivation for creating the Confucius Institute, and its role is It is large and far-reaching in significance, and is definitely not comparable to the Institute of Technology. In short, I have two purposes for building this institute."
"Which two?"
"One of the goals is a grand vision in my ideals. I hope that one day, people from all over the world will all wear my Chinese clothes, speak my Chinese language, and follow my Chinese beliefs. If this wish is granted, If realized, it will produce an assimilation effect that is unimaginable.”
assimilation?
What does this word mean?
Yu Hai was a little confused~~
In this regard, Qi Yu clarified: "The so-called assimilation is to put our Chinese thoughts into the minds of foreigners, and then transform them into people of my own comrades. This kind of influence is better than simple military deterrence." too much."
Immediately afterwards, Qi Yu changed his voice and said: "However, if you want to achieve this, you must establish a cornerstone platform for cultural dissemination, and then let it spread and eventually take root in all directions. This is One of my original intentions in creating the Confucius Institute.”
Yu Hai nodded suddenly and said, "Then, what is the second one?"
Qi Yu smiled and said: "The second purpose is to make up for the loopholes in our jurisdiction after the land reform."
The so-called reform of local chieftains refers to a system in which the original chieftains of a certain place are abolished and then officials are directly appointed by the central government or the competent authority.
As far as the current Qiongzhou Province is concerned, Dawan, Luzon, and Annan all belong to this category.
Then here comes the problem!
All of us have become officials, so what channels should the aborigines use to become officials?
Imperial examination?
Basically unlikely.
These aboriginals do not know Chinese characters or the Chinese language, so if they want to pass the imperial examination, it will be extremely difficult for them to do so. Unless the next generation can grow up quickly enough, you will basically not see indigenous people becoming officials.
But in this way, the aboriginal people will lose their ambition to climb up, and over time, they will give up the job for you.
Therefore, it must be stimulated, for example, drawing a pie or something.
What cake?
Qi Yu thought so.
Some local indigenous people with potential for cultivation can be appropriately approved to come to the Confucius Institute for further studies. After this layer of gold is plated, you can use the 'Primary School Master' diploma to find a small official position. In this way, it can be regarded as giving some hope and progress to the indigenous people.
So, can they learn it?
All I can say is, it’s better than nothing.
It doesn't matter if you really don't understand. You can slowly look up the information yourself, for example, Luo Yuan's newly compiled "Chinese Dictionary". As long as you read it regularly, you will be able to review the past and learn the new to a certain extent.
"Master Qi's idea is really unique, but this method is really good and can achieve immediate results quickly."
"Master Yu is too praiseworthy..."
Yu Hai sincerely admires Qi Yu's lofty remarks. He suddenly discovered that the adult's vision was deeper than he imagined, almost unfathomable.
From now on, I have to catch up hard.
…
Time flies, and three days fly by.
For the envoys from Great Britain and Valois, these three days were very depressing and boring.
Why?
In the past three days, not only had they not been summoned by the Chief Envoy Yu Hai, they seemed to have been abandoned by their old friend Mr. Qi. In short, they were just waiting in the apartment.
I eat, drink, poop, and sleep every day. Isn’t this boring?
Going out for fun?
No!
If you miss the opportunity to summon him, it will be too late.
Sure enough, early on the fourth day, a Yamen servant came over to deliver a message.
Look, look, luckily I didn’t go out, otherwise I would have missed it.
The yamen official said that he was busy with business and had no time to summon Mr. Yu. In order to solve the commercial problems between the two parties as soon as possible, he suggested that the representatives of the mission write their demands on the form, and then he would find time to review and approve the reply.
No time to summon? Are you really that busy?
Although the Eryang Mission was full of anger, they could only keep it in their hearts. How could they dare to say it out loud?
Forget it, let's think about the business at hand first.
Mr. Yu said that the appeal needs to be written on the form and then reviewed and approved.
It's not difficult, it's easy to do.
For trade with China, the top three traditional products are tea, ceramics and silk.
In addition to the above, they also included Qiongzhou's specialty 'Tiger Oil', mirror products and 'Lao Gan Niang' in their purchase list. With such a pull, you have gathered all the profitable products.
Is it really all together?
not necessarily!
Valois businessman Lebre expressed serious doubts about this.
Why?
Let’s listen to the table.
Yesterday evening, Lebre made a special trip to visit his compatriot and old friend Mr. Mahan, and learned from his mouth that there is a secret commodity in Qiongzhou that can make huge profits. As long as he resells a ship and a half of it, he can make a lot of money. Full.
What is regrettable is that as for what this hugely profitable product is, Mahan directly spread his hands to express his ignorance.
However, he did provide an important piece of information related to it.
He said that this hugely profitable product is now in charge of Mr. Qi's brother-in-law, Sun Dacai. If you can find out the details from him, you should be able to find out the details.
Upon hearing this, Jones immediately started making calculations.
How could you miss such a business opportunity?
This matter must be figured out!
So how to do it?
According to the 'tradition' of the Chinese people, giving gifts is the most convenient and practical way to ask for permission. Since there are lessons to be learned from this, why not give it a try?
As long as he dares to accept the gift, it means that it can be done.
Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, it's just some money wasted.
Not surprisingly, Jones' suggestion immediately received unanimous support from everyone in the mission, and the matter was settled.
Give Sun Dacai a gift!
