Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 915 Rich and Willful

"You said that these two envoys from the West want to learn Chinese with us?" The teacher of the elementary school private school saw Princess Sofia and Selina with long golden hair, and massaged his temple with a headache.

He is the teacher of a new-style primary school private school encouraged by the Kyushu Army. He is aimed at schoolchildren of the right age, usually between the ages of seven and 13. Princess Sofia and Selina are both grown-ups, okay?

"They all come to learn Chinese sincerely, and the cost is not a problem," Li Jinde said.

"The quality of your clothes is all high-quality, which shows that you are not short of money, but this is not a matter of expenses..." The teacher said with a frowning face, "We are children here, not suitable for adults, and they don't understand the language at all. Even we Local children who are only five years old can also communicate with me normally, so when we teach, whether use cases or explanations, we formulate them according to their cognitive level."

Li Jinde understands that, to teach people whose mother tongue is not Chinese to learn Chinese, the way of education is completely different from teaching children, and it cannot be taken for granted.

"Excuse me." Li Jinde said.

"You're welcome. If they stay in our capital for a long time, if they dare to learn and speak, they can speak Chinese fluently even without a teacher," said the teacher.

"You're right. My helper was originally a sailor on a British merchant ship. After staying in Xiamen and other places for two or three years, he finally learned our local language. It's a pity that the members of the mission soon returned to the West. How can you learn without a teacher in two months." Li Jinde said.

"If it's such a short time, it won't work anywhere." The teacher shook his head.

How can it be so easy to learn a language?What's more, Chinese represents the oriental pictograph system, which is completely different from the Western Latin alphabet. Even language geniuses cannot get started in a month or two.

After Selina learned that the primary school could not teach them Chinese, she was disappointed but also helpless.

"Let's go to the master of the East and ask him to help us find a private lecturer! It's better to be a woman, and then willing to go to Britain with us. As for the salary, we can share it between the two of us!" Princess Sophia had a whim, yes Selina said.

As long as you have money, can't you find someone who is willing to teach Chinese?
One or two months is not enough, then directly hire him back to Britain and teach him until he can!
"Your Royal Highness, you may be too ideal. It is expensive to hire an educated person. The environment and opportunities in the East are obviously better than ours in Britain, and this will increase the price of hiring them several times." Selina said.

Princess Sophia's idea of ​​directly hiring someone back to Britain was too extreme for Selina.Although she is the earl's daughter, her monthly expenses are limited, and she cannot be squandered at will.

"50 pounds is not enough for a year? If it is not enough, add it to 100 pounds! As long as my brother and those nobles do less wars and hold banquets, the money raised is more than enough. After hiring us back to Britain, she can teach us more Chinese. , it will be beneficial to the trade between our two countries in the future!" Princess Sophia looked for excuses for her wayward reasons in a serious manner.

When Selina saw what Princess Sofia said, she felt that it was very reasonable. If you hire a Chinese lecturer for 100 pounds, you can teach more people, and the value may be more than 100 pounds.Thinking of this, Selina was a little moved.

"We're going to find the owner of the East." Princess Sophia pulled Sarina to go to Chu Yun.

Selina felt in her heart that it was inappropriate to take the initiative to go to Chu Yun, who ruled the East, because of such trivial matters, but she was shocked by the vastness of the Kyushu Library. Only by learning Chinese can it be possible to get in touch with the most advanced and vast literature and books .

"What are you going to do?" Li Jinde couldn't understand the communication between them, so he had to follow behind.

In Chu Yun's mansion, Nelson has arrived from Tianjin Wei and brought back the good news that the submarine cable project across the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the Sea of ​​Japan has been laid.

"Where's Ling'er?" Nelson wanted to see his grandson after reporting on his work.

"Your daughter and Ling'er are in her courtyard." After Chu Yun was tortured last night, Ella went to fetch Ling'er back today.

"Didn't she seldom come to her own courtyard? Could it be that you guys had a fight?" Nelson felt a little worried for his daughter.

"It's definitely not..." Chu Yun couldn't explain to Nelson what his daughter had done, so he had to talk to him about the business, "According to the scheduled plan, we can communicate with Yokohama Port today, why don't you go to the capital with me telegraph terminal, and sent the first telegram to the Port of Yokohama."

"Of order." Although Nelson wanted to see his grandson soon, he was the supervisor of the laying of the submarine cable.

Family affection is one thing, but the work results of the past few months must be checked and accepted first.

Chu Yun tidied up and went out with Nelson and a dozen or so apparent guards.

"Master of the East!" Princess Sophia and others bumped into Chu Yun and shouted from a distance.

Chu Yun had some headaches when Princess Sophia called him, and felt that "Master of the East" sounded neither fish nor fowl.

Princess Sophia came over and saw Nelson, she couldn't help feeling strange that a man in a navy uniform appeared here.

Nelson also looked at Princess Sofia.In his impression, the youngest daughter of King James I should have died when she was very young, but he did not expect to be alive in this era.Maybe something changed.

"You can just call me Mr. Chu. I don't know what you want from me, princess?" Chu Yun saw Princess Sofia again. At this time, Princess Sofia had changed into a long skirt of Hanfu, which looked a bit like Ella.

"I want to hire a Chinese lecturer to return to Britain with me. I wonder if Mr. Chu can help us find a qualified female lecturer in your Academy of Sciences. Salary is not a problem, 50 pounds a year or 100 pounds a year, everything Easy to say." Princess Sofia said.

Chu Yun thought that Princess Sophia wanted to find him for something, but he didn't expect that he just wanted to find a Chinese teacher...

Originally, Chu Yun wanted to export Chinese around the world, and he would definitely agree to such a thing.But, the easier it is for people to get, the less they will cherish it. They need to make them feel that it is hard to come by.

"It's hard to find such a person who is proficient in Chinese teaching and is willing to go to the unfamiliar Britain, but I will try my best to help." Chu Yun said.

"Thank you, I don't know what you are going to do now?" Princess Sophia asked excitedly when Chu Yun agreed to help.

"Does the telegram know?" Chu Yun asked back.
