Chapter 1621 Queen's College and the Spread of Chinese Culture

Chu Yun was visiting Queen's College with Sophia at this time, and he just smiled slightly after receiving the report from the Minister of Etiquette.

The reactions of the European countries were expected. No kingdom dared to open their markets easily, and it was impossible for them to open their markets peacefully.

"Is it about establishing diplomatic relations with other kingdoms?" Sophia asked coldly.

They are currently in the Queen's College. In order to maintain her image as a queen and convince members of Congress of her independence, she always acts icy in front of outsiders.

"No kingdom wants to establish diplomatic relations and trade."

"Then use force to make them submit?"

"The use of force must also use a reasonable excuse, otherwise it will not last."

Chu Yun temporarily put aside this matter and visited Queen's College under the leadership of Sophia.

Most of the lecturers at Queen's College were sent by Chu Yun. They were surprised and pleasantly surprised to see Chu Yun here, and shook hands with Chu Yun enthusiastically.

"Preaching and resolving doubts is the foundation of being a teacher. At the same time, we should spread our culture. If they are not interested in the blunt traditional culture, then spread it in a form that they like to hear." Chu Yun urged.

It is impossible for Westerners to accept what they say. In fact, ordinary people in China are not so polite. What ordinary people are most likely to accept is the customs and culture that suit them.

Cultural dissemination will also be affected by various influences, just like when Chinese merchants brought tea to England, it became lemon tea, milk tea, and honey tea in the hands of the English people, and they also like black tea very much, so they cannot be forced They cannot add other things to the tea.

In addition to the enthusiasm of the lecturers sent by Chu Yun, the students of the Queen's College were also curious and welcomed the Queen's husband. Regardless of whether this college was funded by the Queen, or because of Chu Yun's status as the ruler of the Eastern Empire, they Also surprised.

Such people do not visit other kingdoms, but go to London first, which is enough to show that their status is higher than other European kingdoms in the other party's mind.For England, which has not yet been promoted to a first-class kingdom, this recognition is very important.

"Mr. Chu, how long do you plan to stay in our England?"

"What's your favorite food? Do people in the East eat bread as a staple food?"

The few female students at Queen's College were even more enthusiastic, and some even asked Chu Yun to sign the "New Wealth of Nations" co-edited by him and Adam Smith.

In order to realize the pig-raising model and create competitors for himself, Chu Yun spread a batch of non-core technologies from the 17th and 18th centuries in the form of Chinese. Students at Queen’s College who have mastered Chinese have begun to come into contact with the new learning that has been spread.

In fact, making England stand above other European kingdoms, not only can transfer the domestic conflicts in China to the west when necessary in the future, but also can be used as a hunting dog to monitor the European continent.England's geographical location away from the European continent makes it seem to be in harmony with European countries.

"It's really worrying that people at Queen's College are all bilingual and have Chinese as their second language instead of Latin and Greek."

"Exactly. I heard that they still need to study oriental literature such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Book of Songs". This group of people may enter the cabinet in the future and manage the entire kingdom. Whether they can lead England to the right path in the future, I have deep doubts." Doubtful."

"Cambridge and Oxford colleges are so unhappy with Her Majesty's decision to open another college that they are trying to protest."

Many aristocrats who accompanied the Queen to visit Queen's College saw the trend of Sinicization of Queen's College, and were full of worries about the future of the kingdom. After all, the status of Queen's College is too detached. It has the potential to surpass Cambridge University and Oxford University and become the highest This makes the nobles can't help but sweat.

The school building of Queen's College has not yet been fully built. It occupies a piece of royal land on the banks of the Thames. It was drawn out by Sophia from the royal land, and Queen's College is also an asset of the royal family.It is expected that the high-rise building will be able to accommodate thousands of people in the future.

"Yang's water does not flow with salary. The son of the other party will not fight with me. I am pregnant, I will return it in the moonlight?"

"Yo Yo Luming, the apple of the wild food. I have a guest, play the lute and play the sheng. Play the sheng and drum spring, and the basket is the general. If you are kind to me, show me how to go around."

……

Members of Queen's College showed Chu Yun what they had learned in Queen's College when he visited.It's just that these English students recited the content of "Book of Songs", just like reciting hymns in church, which made Chu Yun feel a little funny.

"I plan to donate a sum of money to the development of Queen's College." After the visit, Chu Yun made a decision.

Not only Sophia, but also other English nobles were shocked. Chu Yun, as the consul of the East, was willing to donate to Queen's College free of charge.

Chu Yun doesn’t think so. The dissemination of culture requires media and specialized institutions, and Queen’s College is such an institution. If Queen’s College can increase its influence, other European universities will also set up Chinese and corresponding subjects.

Moreover, the students of Queen's College may enter the cabinet of England in the future. Even if their hearts are towards England, they will inevitably be influenced by the Chinese culture in the college.

"Thank you for your generous donation. Our Queen's College will build a bronze statue for you and the Queen in the square in the middle of the college to commemorate the two contributions to the college." The dean of Queen's College came out to flatter the two at the right time.

The dean of the Queen's College is appointed by the Queen herself. Of course, he wants to please the Queen as much as possible. If Chu Yun can make a large donation, then building a bronze statue can not only express his gratitude to the benefactor, but also In fact, it can also enhance the influence of Queen's College and leave a legend in the future.

Chu Yun did not object to Queen's College dean's deliberate flattery. It seemed quite cool to build a bronze statue of himself in a Westerner's college so that the students of Queen's College would look up to him for hundreds of years in the future.

After visiting Queen's College, Chu Yun returned to Whitehall Palace with Sophia and others.

As soon as Sophia returned to the palace, she changed her previous indifferent attitude and became very obsessive, often clinging to Chu Yun.

England's MPs, cabinet ministers, and a group of nobles turn a blind eye to this, as long as the Queen remains neutral on policy.

Just when the Minister of Rituals was deadlocked in negotiations with the ten European kingdoms, a ship from the Mediterranean opened up the diplomatic situation for them.
