The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2302 Cultural Fusion
Zhao Dongting was quite surprised, "I just came here last year, so you are already so familiar with Chinese?"

Shukla said: "Because I have already started learning Chinese when I was in China, and we have teachers who specialize in teaching Chinese!"

Only then did Zhao Dongting understand, and he was extremely happy.

This shows that Da Song's influence in the world has reached a certain level.

It depends on the influence of the country, not on military power.Instead, look at cultural output.

If at some point, every country has special Chinese language teaching, even uses Chinese as the official language, and then learns the various cultures of the Song Dynasty, and circulates the coins of the Song Dynasty, then the hegemony of the Song Dynasty can be said to be indisputable. shaken.

This is cultural fusion.

This is like the process of King Qin sweeping Liuhe in the past.

Without unified coinage and writing, and without burning books and burying Confucianism, the great chaos in the Central Plains will continue for many years.

Then he asked again: "Why do you think of coming to Dasong? And you won't go back after graduation."

He seems to be quite talkative.

The answers of Kashi, Sen and Shukla are actually similar.

It was not beyond Zhao Dongting's expectation.

They came to Song Dynasty and stayed in Song Dynasty because they wanted to learn the culture of Song Dynasty.

And this mission was undoubtedly entrusted to them by their family.

They have one thing in common, their status in the family is quite good, and they are quite appreciated by the elders in the family, but there is almost no hope of taking over the position of their parents.Their family sent them to Da Song in the hope that they would succeed in their studies, and then go back to become the powerful arm of the successor family head.

Nowadays, Song Dynasty is far ahead in terms of political system and economic model.

After hearing what they said, Zhao Dongting asked again: "Then there should be many foreign students like you in Changsha, right?"

This time Zhu Chengen rushed to answer, saying: "Going back to the emperor, not only a lot, but a lot."

"Much?"

Zhao Dongting was stunned, "How many?"

He really didn't pay attention to this issue.

Zhu Chengen pondered for a while, and said, "In Changsha city alone, there should be no less than 2000 people!"

This is indeed an astonishing number.

You must know that with the level of transportation in this era, it is not easy for people from other countries to come to Song Dynasty.

Where are these more than 2000 foreign students from?

How far should the motherland be from Da Song among them?

God knows what kind of hardships they went through to come to Song Dynasty.

Even Zhao Dongting was surprised.

So without knowing it, Da Song's influence has reached this level?
What he didn't know was that many students actually came to Dasong after he announced the steam engine.

There are still many far-sighted people in this world who can see the potential of the steam engine.

And whoever learns the steam engine from the Song Dynasty first, then whoever will be the country or power that benefits the most from the steam engine after the Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Dongting didn't think in this way.

Listening to Zhu Chengen's words, he was just thinking, what impact will these 2000 people have on the world in the future?

What kind of influence will they have on Da Song when they make friends with people like the Zhu Jianian brothers?
Even, will there be foreign spies among these people?
In fact, over the years, he has gradually disliked things that he cannot control.Especially the factors that may affect Da Song.

Not to mention what kind of future Zhu Chengen and the others will have in the future, but just now, their influence in Song Dynasty is actually not small.Because they may somehow influence the decisions of their elders in the family.

And the decisions of their elders are closely related to the future development of Song Dynasty.

They are too friendly with these foreign people, which may not be a good thing.

Zhao Dongting is very willing to help these countries, but there is a premise, that is, without losing the interests of Song Dynasty itself.Of course, it's a different matter for high-class vassal states such as Ryukyu, Boni, and Mayi. Song Dynasty really did its best to help them.

"Should we also restrain these 'foreign students'?"

Zhao Dongting thought to himself.

I don't know how Kashi, Sen and Shukla would feel if they knew what Zhao Dongting was thinking at this time.

Outside the window, a wave of cheers suddenly sounded.

There are flower boats approaching the shore.

Zhao Dongting didn't say anything else, and looked out the window.

The location of this private room is excellent, just across the street from the river.With the bright lights, you can fully see the situation on the flower boat.

With Zhao Dongting's eyesight, of course he could see clearly.Even the playful little freckles on the face of the flower-sprinkling maid on the flower boat in his eyes can be clearly seen.

There is an oiran sitting on the bow of the boat, not covering her face with a gauze, stroking a pipa in her arms.

This is the No. [-] oiran, and also the oiran of Jinghu South Road.

Her flower boat is at the front.

Zhao Dongting had to admit that the oiran was indeed very good-looking, and had a delicate temperament.The beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, like pear blossoms with rain.

Those who can be elected as the oiran, even if they are not the most beautiful on Jinghu South Road, must be among the best.

The beauty of this oiran is even comparable to that of Yun Jing who was ranked eighteenth in the Hundred Flowers List back then.

Zhao Dongting has a photographic memory and still remembers the introduction about her in the roster.
