Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 57 06 Chen Muqiao Dilemma

Chargé d'affaires Zhu Zhaoxin of the Chinese Embassy in the UK was once again taken aback after receiving the official letter from Cambridge University.

It's not that Zhu Zhaoxin is so rare, it's mainly because in this era when international communication mainly relies on writing letters, it is impossible to apply to a foreign university after sending a few emails in China like later generations.

It took Chen Muwu three months to communicate with Europe once. This kind of communication frequency cannot be compared with the convenience and speed of email.

The process of studying abroad in the period of the Republic of China was that after a student completed high school or university, he either paid for it from his family, or took the national and provincial government-funded study abroad programs.

After getting the money, they have to choose a destination for studying abroad, either Europe or the United States, or the country with the cheapest living and tuition fees.

After they travel long distances across the ocean by boat and arrive at the destination of study abroad, the government-funded international students will, under the coordination of the education officials of the Chinese embassy and consulate in the local area, enter the university that they have contacted for a long time.

Self-financed students must rely on their domestic diplomas to obtain the entrance examination qualifications of local universities, and they can be admitted to universities after passing the examination.

Even if you fail the exam at this school, you can still take the exam at the next university. Anyway, there are plenty of universities in Europe and the United States. As long as you have money, you can always find a school to attend.

At worst, they can also enter the preparatory tutoring specially set up for international students. These financially tight universities will definitely not refuse a God of Wealth who is rushing to give them money.

Zhu Zhaoxin has worked as the first secretary of the Chinese embassy in the UK for many years, and has contacted the school for countless students studying in the UK at official and private expense.

Every time he ran here and there, begging his grandpa to tell his grandma, he could finally complete these matters.

Today, it was the first time he saw that a British university would send an invitation letter to the embassy, ​​asking them to invite Chinese students to study in the UK, and even offered a large amount of scholarships.

After sending the aspirants away, Zhu Zhaoxin called the relevant staff and asked them to send a report to the country immediately, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to the Ministry of Education, to the Lianghai Railway Bureau, until the student named Chen Muwu was found.

The early Republic of China cabinet was like a traveling hotel on the side of a road. There were not many long-term guests. Everyone stayed in it for a night or two, and then left in a hurry.

From 1916 to 1928, the cabinet of the Beiyang government changed 37 times and reorganized 24 times. 26 people served as prime ministers. In addition, four regent cabinets exercised ruling power in a short period of time. The longest term was seventeen months. , the shortest is only two days.

Among them, in 1922 last year, the number of cabinet changes was the most. In just one year, Congress changed eight cabinets.

Frequent changes in the cabinet have caused officials in various government departments to "come on stage after you sing".

In addition, the foreign embassy in the UK has a delay in receiving the information from China, so the staff who sent the report did not know their current immediate boss, the foreign minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is surnamed Gu, surnamed Wang, still surnamed Shi and Huang, simply did not write his name on the official documents and telegrams, and directly started with "Minister of Foreign Affairs Jun Jian".

Huang Yu only temporarily put out the fire in early February, replacing Shi Zhaoji, who was rejected by the Senate, as the acting foreign minister.

As soon as he saw the name Chen Muwu in the telegram from the Chinese Embassy in the UK, Huang Yu immediately remembered that the lecturer at Bei University that he had read about in "Yi Shi Bao" a few days ago seemed to be also named Chen?
So he immediately sent someone to call Bei University, and soon after, his subordinates reported back: "President Huang, the Chen Hanchen who gave lectures at Bei University last month is indeed the Chen Muwu mentioned in the British telegram."

Huang Yu felt that this person's name sounded familiar, and asked, "Chen Muwu? Where is he from?"

"This... The subordinates don't know. I'll call Bei University later and ask."

"Move your mouth at the top, break your legs at the bottom", Mr. Huang's words made the staff go back and forth again. He told Huang Yu that Chen Muwu was from Jiang Yuyu.

What is a book without a coincidence?
This Huang Yu is also from Yejiayu County, and also went to this place to study abroad. He and Chen Muwu's elder brother Chen Muqiao had met several times, whether in his hometown or during this period, but they did not have a deep friendship.

As for who Huang Yu's close friends and even acquaintances were during this period, it is really impossible to say, and this book will be condemned.

Among the descendants of his fellow countrymen, there was a genius who was favored by the world's number one university. Huang Yu, as a fellow townsman, was also honored. He quickly asked for this telegram sent by the British embassy to be forwarded to the Ministry of Education. share.

Not all universities in this era are poor like Bei University.

Chen Muwu's alma mater, the three Jiaotong University's superior unit is the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Communications controls the country's railways, sea ships, postal services, and telegraph businesses, so it is naturally rich and powerful.

Church schools such as St. John's University and Hujiang University have the support of a large number of foreign believers, which makes it easier for them to preach and brainwash in China.

Only Tsinghua School is the most special, and it is managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is responsible for allocating boxer indemnities.

Huang Yu, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, happened to have the authority to control Tsinghua's study abroad funds.

So he even simply issued a special order to allocate a special amount from the study abroad funds managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a special official fee to support his little brother who had never met to study abroad.

After handling this series of official duties, Huang Yu sent a telegram in his own name to his fellow countryman and classmate Chen Muqiao, informing him of the good news that his younger brother was invited to study abroad by Cambridge University.

Chen Muqiao, who received Huang Yu's telegram, became the first person in the Chen family to know the news.

Although Eddington sent the telegram to the Lianglu Railway Administration several days earlier than Zhu Zhaoxin, Chen Muwu, a salty fish, took another week's long vacation a few days after returning to his work unit for vacation.

The day before going north, the eldest brother agreed to Zhang Naiyan's invitation to give lectures for him.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Naiyan read about Chen Muwu who went to Bei University to give lectures in the newspaper.

Just after the Chinese New Year, the newly appointed president of the Jiang Education Association couldn't wait to visit again with a gift, and it was true to wish the old lady of the Chen family New Year's greetings, reminding Chen Muwu not to forget the promise, and to hurry up and set a date to return to Jiang to give lectures.

Once a word is said, it is hard to follow, so Chen Muwu can only go to the work unit to ask for a week's leave, and then go south to the river with Zhang Naiyan.

After receiving Huang Yu's telegram, Chen Muqiao was really surprised, happy and worried.

What surprised me was, what exactly did Chen Muwu do? He went to Bei University to give a lecture, how could it alarm foreign universities?

Happily, the gold of my little brother finally shined, and he was recognized by the insightful eye of a world-renowned university.

But what is worrying is that Chen Muwu went to the north to give lectures for nearly a month, which already made the old lady very unhappy. In order to keep the youngest son by her side for a long time, the mother started to arrange a blind date for the third brother.

If you tell your mother at this time that the third brother will go to England to study, and he will leave for a few years, the old lady will definitely disagree a hundred times.

As the eldest brother, Chen Muqiao was in a dilemma.

What should he do?
