Chapter 979 Kang Nanhai Who Wants to Be an Official (First update, please subscribe)
1871 3 Month 15 Day.

The first batch of 100 international students admitted to the "Huaxia Education Foundation" boarded an immigration ship bound for the other side of the ocean at Ningbo Wharf.

This is the first batch of international students funded by the Foundation. They went to Daming to study with 200 international students sent by the Heavenly Kingdom. Both groups boarded the ship this morning.

Among these people, the youngest is only 14 years old, and the oldest is 30 years old.

To be honest, the funds for studying abroad provided by the Huaxia Education Foundation are not too much, with an average of about 200 yuan per student, of which the tuition fee varies from 60 yuan to as much as 120 yuan depending on the school - there are universities in Daming that require tuition fees. But every university in the university offers a variety of scholarships based on merit, which can cover almost 100% of students, and even the lowest level of scholarship is enough to cover tuition fees.However, the living expenses need to rely on family funding or self-employed to maintain the life of studying abroad.

However, the Education Foundation will provide students with a monthly living allowance of 6 yuan, which is basically enough for the normal expenses of international students.Although it is far less than the monthly allowance of 20 yuan for government-sponsored overseas students, it is still enough for them to live on.

In fact, even if Daming does not provide living allowances, there will be many, many people who are willing to study in Daming—of course, this needs to wait until the first batch of overseas students return to China. It is natural to want to grasp it, which is the norm in the world. In another world, isn't that the case with the craze for studying abroad that began in the late Qing Dynasty?

On the one hand, it is true that young students hope to find a way to strengthen the country through studying abroad, and on the other hand, it is because of the high dividends of studying abroad-students returning to China are easy to be reused.The enthusiasm for studying abroad is naturally one wave after another. While studying in the bad streets of Japan, some people even borrow a few hundred dollars to dare to go abroad to study in Europe or the United States.

No matter what purpose those people reported to study abroad, one thing is certain is that the overseas students brought Western science to this ancient land.

At this time, these international students all looked at the sea with great anticipation. They knew that they were about to go to a foreign country to learn knowledge they had never learned before.

Rich country and strong army.

Maybe they don't have such an idea in their hearts at this time, but soon, this will become the lifelong pursuit of many of them.

It was also from that day that Heaven also opened the way to seek knowledge from the world... no, seek knowledge from Daming.

Ten years later, in almost every university in Daming, there are foreign students from Huaxia, and thousands of people are working in Daming's colleges and universities. Even so, it cannot meet Huaxia's demand for professional talents.After all, the westernization factories and tens of thousands of kilometers of railways and mines built in these great rivers and rivers require a large number of professional talents. Although foreigners can be hired, the returned overseas students are the real ones. reuse.

Returned international students generally enjoy high status and high salaries, which have also boosted people's enthusiasm for studying abroad. In addition to government-sponsored and foundation-sponsored students, there are more young students who choose to study abroad at their own expense.

For Huaxia students, the best choice to study abroad is Daming, not only because of the low tuition fees of Daming, you can apply for scholarships, but more importantly, Ming and Huaxia have the same culture, and foreign students can adapt directly.If you want to study abroad in Europe and the United States, the first thing you need to do is to be familiar with the language, but "Western language is difficult to learn".The Ming Dynasty was different. Except for the newly created professional vocabulary such as chemistry and physics, the characters and language are interlinked. Even if there are a few special vocabulary, you can guess a general idea even if you don’t study it. It can also be mastered quickly.

Facing the rapid rise of Ming Dynasty, many Chinese scholars believe that Ming Dynasty has already learned the essence of European and American culture, so it will be easier to study abroad in Ming Dynasty.

As for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, they have always believed that "the education of foreign students is necessary to establish a long-term and solid Ming-Hua relationship", so the officials are committed to supporting all parties in China to send more students from Ming Dynasty.

"justifiable defense……"

Flipping through the thick bibliography in the library, Kang Youwei, wearing black-rimmed glasses, frowned.

After three years of preparatory studies, he was admitted to the Law School of Nanhe University, and now he is immersed in fighting with various law books.

Why study law?
It's not because he wants to be a lawyer who works for the people, and it's not because the salary of a lawyer is high, but because...it's easy to become an official!
Although he is a Cantonese, Kang Youwei has long learned from his friends in Xuzhou that among the overseas students sent by Governor Li in private, those studying railways, machinery, ships, mining and military all went to government-run factories or railways, and only those studying law stayed. In the governor's office.

What is near-water, first-get-the-moon?
That's it!

If he wants to become an official, he must stay in the yamen to become an official, so studying law is a short-term way, so he is different from many people who came to Daming to study at their own expense. Haizhou, and bought a boat ticket in Haizhou to come to Daming.

After arriving in Daming, in order to make a living, Kang Youwei studied while working. It took him three years to get admitted to the not-so-famous Nanhe University. Even so, Kang Youwei was still full of confidence and only waited for two years to graduate and return to Qing Dynasty ... No, the Qing Dynasty has already perished, and now it is the Chinese Empire.

After returning to China after studying, how can it be possible not to be important because of the praise of friends and the bonus of studying law?

However, the law is difficult to learn ah!

While studying the issue of legitimate self-defense, someone suddenly came over and whispered.

"Guangsha, the list of scholarships has been announced, you should go and have a look."

As soon as he heard that the bursary list was announced, Kang Youwei hurriedly took a box of notebooks and said to his friend.

"Thank you, thank you."

After finishing speaking, he rushed to the front of the academic affairs building in a hurry, and the front of the academic affairs building was already crowded with people, just like the announcement of rankings in China, except that it was for stipends.

Daming’s scholarships are also divided into grades. The highest-level royal scholarship is not only enough to pay tuition fees, living expenses, and even some leftovers. As for the lowest-level stipend... it’s just equal to the tuition fee, and it’s even two yuan short of the semester registration fee.

However, this is also the most extensive bursary in Daming, and most students in Daming rely on bursaries to complete their studies.For international students like Kang Youwei, whether he can get a scholarship is directly related to whether he can continue to study in Daming.

Although he knew that his grades were not enough to apply for a scholarship, Kang Youwei still had no problem with grants. When he was looking for his name, he was still a little nervous. What if there was no one?
Just in case... There is no chance, as long as the grades are up to standard, you will definitely be able to get a scholarship.

After searching for a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found "Kang Youwei, the eleventh grader of the law school".

"Okay, I'm finally relieved now!"

After a long breath of relief, Kang Youwei squeezed out of the crowd pretending to be calm, and then pretended to adjust his clothes slowly, holding a thick stack of books in his arms, with a calm look on his face...
