Chapter 128 Oriental leeks are good leeks (first update, please subscribe)
"You are the one!"

Standing in front of the map, Zhu Xianhai stared at a location on the map with a slight smile on his face.

"Japan!"

In East Asia, there is not only one "Qing Dynasty", there is another country whose door has been opened - Japan!
Unlike the "Qing Dynasty" who still pretended to be deaf and dumb after being blasted out of the country in the Opium War, Perry's "black ship attack" shocked Japan.Facing the invasion of the West, many Japanese feel painful that in order to maintain self-reliance, they must learn European and American civilizations, and to learn the West, they must first learn the language. Many scholars realized the importance of learning English and devoted themselves to the cause of English education.

After the Perry fleet opened the door to Japan, almost every domain in Japan had English training classes. Even Fukuzawa Yukichi, in addition to writing books in English, also held English cram schools and taught English in the class himself. English learning has become a Japanese language. fashion of the moment.

Not for a while, but lasted for nearly a century. It was not until around the outbreak of World War II that Japan came to a farce of boycotting the "enemy language".

But in this era, the upsurge of Japanese learning English is intensifying.Thanks to the efforts of many scholars, they translated thousands of Western humanities books from 1853 to 1868 before the Japanese Reformation.

Why did Japan hire a large number of foreign scholars from Britain, the United States and other countries at the beginning of the Meiji Restoration to impart Western scientific and technological knowledge? Talents who are proficient in English and basic scientific knowledge.

When my colleagues were still arguing about whether to send overseas students, when my colleagues regarded Western culture as a scourge.They have already sent a large number of foreign students, who are proficient in foreign languages ​​and have a certain foundation in Western learning. When the children studying in the United States were in elementary school, the Japanese international students went directly to middle school or even university.Because the mathematics, physics, chemistry, world geography, world history and other textbooks in Japanese new middle schools are almost all direct reprints of the original English textbooks from the United States and the United Kingdom, and were later directly translated into Japanese.

In fact, the fate of China and Japan in modern times has already been determined from the aspect of English education.Japan has never used the indemnity from the Sino-Japanese War to provide education, because more than 20 years ago, people have already popularized compulsory education.But still learn English from primary school.

In contrast, the Qing Dynasty's Westernization Movement centered on "rich the country and strengthened the army" ended up lonely. The arsenal was built at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. The craftsmen produced useless weapons such as guns. All foreigners, such as the China Merchants Shipping Bureau, which is known as the No. [-] in East Asia, did not train a Chinese captain or a Chinese senior crew member until the fall of the Qing Dynasty.Those arsenals haven't trained many engineers, and they still can't play without foreign experts.

In other words, the cultivation of modern talents in the "Westernization Movement" is almost "zero"!
Talent!

This is the future of the country!

Recalling the "talent preparation" and "translation movement" mentioned in the book before the Meiji Restoration in Japan, Zhu Xianhai was full of jealousy.Just like "Pictures of the Sea Kingdom" received a cold reception in China, but became popular in Japan and sold tens of thousands of copies, the Chinese scholars who were domesticated in the Manchu Qing Dynasty had long since lost the curiosity of scholars in the late Ming Dynasty about Western knowledge. In the Qing Dynasty, under the threat of literary inquisition, how could Chinese scholars dare to be curious?What do they study?That is to say, the so-called "fish and insect studies" and "textual research", never dare to go beyond the threshold.

The so-called conservatism... There is no other way to save your life!
But such conservatism made Zhu Xianhai no one to use!
"We have to find a way to harvest a wave of Japanese talents!"

In an instant, Zhu Xianhai made up his mind to harvest a wave of English-speaking talents from Japan and fill Nanhua with them translating Western books.

As for Chinese, he wasn’t worried at all. Until the Meiji Restoration, all Japanese scholars had to learn Sinology. They were all proficient in Chinese, and they were fluent in Nanjing Mandarin, that is, Ming Mandarin, which was enough to make any Ming Dynasty apostle fall in love with him. Sinology education in Japan did not change from "Nanjing Mandarin" to "Beijing Mandarin" until the 1870s.

Even the Western works translated in their era were written in Chinese, which is why a large number of Japanese scientific books were imported in the late Qing Dynasty, and they could be directly quoted or translated in a small amount.

"It's time to send a ship to Japan for business. If nothing else, even if you hire dozens of translators and buy some books, it will be of great use!"

If you don't cut the leeks in Japan, I'm really sorry for God to let me travel through time!

"You can't just cut the leeks of translation, you can also cut the leeks of those warriors!"

It seems that many samurai in Japan these days are poor, even to the point where there is no next meal after eating. Why there is a movement to break the curtain in history? Rebel against the barbarians under the pretext of "removing the barbarians" and want to reshuffle power and wealth. In other words, it's just a gamble!
Without him, too poor!
If you are poor, you want to change!

As for "respecting the king", it's all just a slogan. In the final analysis, it's for profit. Bankrupt warriors and homeless people are all good leeks!
Get thousands of people to come over as mercenaries, and you can enrich your own force no matter what.Of course, those people are definitely the most qualified cannon fodder, no, samurai!It is an honor to die on the battlefield.

"Sword Draw Team..."

Thinking of the famous "sword-drawing team" during the Meiji Restoration, the corners of Zhu Xianhai's lips lightly raised. Nanhua can also form his own "sword-drawing team". , There was a burst of excitement in his heart, this scene is spectacular!

"Oriental leeks are definitely good leeks! If you don't cut them, I'm sorry!"

Just as Zhu Xianhai finished speaking, someone said.

"What are leeks?"

It was Maria, walked to Zhu Xianhai's side, opened her blue eyes wide, and said curiously.

"What kind of vegetable is leek?"

“A delicious dish!”

Zhu Xianhai laughed.

"This vegetable is specially reserved for harvesting, and there will be another crop after harvesting! It is simply inexhaustible, and it cannot be used..."

"Is that dish delicious?"

Maria didn't understand.

"It's delicious, not afraid of delicious food, and it's also good for men..."

What are the benefits, I can only feel it.I understand everything.

If you don’t understand, you will understand when the time comes.

"It's good for men too?"

Maria looked at Zhu Xianhai suspiciously.

"What's the benefit?"

Seeing the woman's beautiful eyes flickering with doubts, staring at that Ruyu's delicate face, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help feeling hot inside, as if he had neglected her a little these two days,

It's true, since returning to Nanhua, Zhu Xianhai has spent more time with Elizabeth. Thinking of a woman traveling thousands of miles from Chile to Nanhua with him, the rain and dew can be evenly shared!
"I tell you……"

With his lips close to Maria's ear, Zhu Xianhai spoke in a quiet voice, and moved his hands up and down while speaking.

"Honey, no, don't be here... This, this is the office..."

Maria nervously looked towards the door of the office.

Amidst the woman's panting, Zhu Xianhai, who was quite proud of himself, still cared so much about it.

"Don't worry, no one will come in."

Office...I've been wanting to try it for a long time!
