Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 914 I want to learn Chinese
"There are too many books here, but it's a pity that they are all Chinese characters, and there are only a few letters and numbers, which I can't understand at all." Selina saw that there are many books in the Kyushu Library, but she couldn't help feeling sorry because she couldn't understand them.

"The Academy of Sciences has an Overseas Department, which has special Chinese courses." Xiao Xiuer said.

"Overseas Department? Is it dedicated to learning Chinese for students from other countries?" Selina whispered.

She didn't expect the Kyushu Army to be so considerate, even taking into account the fact that people from other countries can't speak Chinese.

Selina didn't know that the establishment of the Overseas Department was initially aimed at Korea and Dongying, and the first batch of students accepted were the Shimadzu family of Dongying and the prince of Korea.

Now Chinese teaching has begun to affect Western countries.

Want to get in touch with the most advanced culture in the world?Sorry, all the books are in Chinese characters, and the teaching is also in Chinese. You must learn Chinese and Chinese characters to understand these books.And this is the only way to get in touch with the most advanced culture.

"Well, Chinese is a pre-requisite course in foreign countries. Generally, students can basically communicate after learning Chinese for one year. After one year of professional courses, the Chinese level will also improve during the study. The cost is somewhat It's so expensive, if you are a commoner, you can't afford it at all."

Xiao Xiuer explained the situation of the Overseas Department to Selina, and she couldn't help but sigh that the tuition fees there are really expensive.Except for the Overseas Department, not only do other departments not charge fees, some outstanding students also receive a monthly allowance, which consumes a lot of fiscal revenue.What's more, she came from the Atayal tribe and had almost no money on her body. It was Ella who hired her as a private doctor to earn income. Naturally, she felt that the expenses of the overseas department were extra expensive.

The only advantage is that as long as you have money, you can enter the overseas department, and you don't need to pass a special entrance examination.

After all, Selina is an aristocrat, and she has no extra reaction to the high tuition fees, but is only interested in the functions of the overseas department.

What a wonderful thing it would be if you could enter the overseas department and not only learn Chinese to communicate with Li Jinde normally, but also get in touch with knowledge that you have never seen before.

"I don't know if I can enter the Overseas Department?" Selina said.

"There is no precedent for Western students in the Overseas Department... At present, the students in the Overseas Department are mainly people from Korea, Dongying, and Nanyang who do not know Chinese... But if our two countries cooperate in the future, the Overseas Department should be open to you Yes." Xiao Xiuer replied.

"Can't it work now?" Selina felt like a treasure house was placed in front of her, but since she couldn't speak Chinese, she didn't have the key to enter the treasure house.

"We can only stay here for a month or two. Even if we can enter the 'overseas department', it is not enough time to learn a new language." Princess Sophia said beside her.

After staying in the capital for a few days, Princess Sophia's curiosity about the East not only did not fade with time, but increased day by day, and she began to be reluctant to leave this magical country.

"It's only a month or two..." Selina also felt regretful. When the mission returned to Britain, she had only a small chance to have access to the Chinese language and the terrible collection of books in the Kyushu Library.

Xiao Xiuer took them around inside the Kyushu Library, walking through the criss-crossing corridors, as if entering a future world, which was completely different from the outside world.

As Princess Sofia found out, the library is too large for the current collection of books to fill the library, and the bookshelves of many subjects are still vacant and will be filled by future generations.Still, such a size and ambition are scary in this day and age.This is just the knowledge that the Kyushu Army puts on the surface, and the knowledge system hidden behind the scenes does not know how deep it is.

Because of the vast interior space of the Kyushu Library, three quarters of an hour was only enough for a quick glance, and Xiao Xiuer came out with Princess Sophia and others.

"Amazing place." Princess Sophia put both sides behind her, standing on the pedestal of the Kyushu Library, looking at the Forbidden City in the south, as if in a lifetime.

Who would have imagined that there is a different kind of treasure house in the seemingly ancient city outside.

"Are there any private teachers in the city who can teach Chinese?" Selina was still a little unwilling.

"Our Academy of Sciences has a college dedicated to training teachers. It is called the Teachers College. Some of their senior students should be able to teach Chinese. In the past, we needed to teach this writing and how to pronounce it word by word, but now after using pinyin and simplified characters, The cost of study is already very low. Even now, there are still many male students in Teachers College, and it is still difficult to find senior female students." Xiao Xiuer said.

Li Jinde was a little uncomfortable listening, looking for a male private teacher?I don't know why Li Jinde felt a little uncomfortable.

"Maybe I can teach you." Li Jinde recommended himself.

However, Xiao Xiu'er unceremoniously poured cold water on him: "If I teach each word one by one, maybe this girl won't be able to learn it before she leaves."

"But..." Li Jinde was not reconciled.

"There is another place where you can learn Chinese...that is the private schools in elementary schools, but generally they are places where children are taught." Xiao Xiuer said.

"I think the private school is good, so I will find a suitable private school." Li Jinde thought for a while, and still supported Sarina in learning Chinese.

At least in the future, communication will not be so laborious, and there is no need to go through an intermediary for translation.

Xiao Xiu'er was a little confused about the relationship between these two people.

"I have an appointment with someone else. There are many courses in the Academy of Sciences where you are not allowed to sit in. Moreover, your language barrier is indeed a very cumbersome matter. Then I will leave first." Xiao Xiuer thought of her appointment with Goya Something happened, so I bid farewell to Princess Sophia and others.

It is necessary to ask the military master whether it is possible to mass-produce smallpox vaccine.Xiao Xiu'er left with the books in her hands, and also had some worries.

Doctors don't just use their medical skills to help someone when they are sick. They can prevent and treat a certain disease, or invent new drugs to overcome a certain epidemic, which can often save more people.

"Your Highness, I want to find a school to learn Chinese. Would you like to join me?" Selina wanted to learn Chinese systematically, rather than being limited to some proper nouns.But she was afraid that she could not learn well by herself, so she invited Princess Sofia together.

"Okay, I also want to learn the language here, otherwise I would not dare to go out to find delicious food." Princess Sofia's idea is much simpler, and she can adapt to life here better by learning Chinese.

　There will be an update tomorrow morning, and the normal update will resume tomorrow night
