Expedition to Europe

The companion reader originated in the Song Dynasty. It was originally the name of an official position for teaching the children of the royal family to read. Later, it gradually evolved and became a way to get closer to the royal family.

Generally speaking, there is no fixed number of companion readers. Any number is fine, and there is no limit on their identities. Children of the royal family, folk prodigies, and even eunuchs in the palace can become companion readers of the prince.

Qin Zhiyuan now has only one son, Qin De. There is no doubt that according to the tradition of the Chinese world that the eldest son is established instead of the youngest, and the legitimate son is passed on instead of the illegitimate son, Qin De is the future heir of the Lan Fang Empire. In this case, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with Qin De.

And if you want to have a good relationship with the future emperor, you have to start from the childhood of the future emperor. What is more economical than becoming the companion reader of the future emperor?

To be fair, Qin Zhiyuan does not like this kind of speculation, but the Chinese society has always been a society of human relationships, and some things are inevitable. If Qin De reaches the age to join the Boy Scouts, and those ministers are willing to let their children join the Boy Scouts to suffer, Qin Zhiyuan can see the success.

At least that way, Qin De can have a relatively colorful childhood.

After figuring out this problem, Qin Zhiyuan immediately paid more attention to the Boy Scouts.

First, in terms of personnel screening.

In the past, Qin Zhiyuan, considering that children have countless plasticity in the future and that children's thoughts will change over time, did not screen the backgrounds of those orphans. As long as they are of the right age and meet the conditions, they can all be taken into the Boy Scouts for care.

Now it is different. Although Qin Zhiyuan cannot change the ideas of Misha and Heiman for a while, he can prevent certain tragedies from happening at the source, such as investigating the backgrounds of those children. If they have national hatred and family feuds with Lan Fang, they will all be rejected. In this way, the backgrounds of the Boy Scouts can be relatively pure.

Secondly, ideological work.

In the past, there were also ideological education courses in the Boy Scouts. Qin Zhiyuan understood the importance of ideological work and naturally would not ignore it. However, due to limited conditions, Lan Fang's ideological education was not complete. It was composed of a part of traditional cultural education and a part of patriotism education. Now it seems that this ideological education work is not qualified.

In order to strengthen ideological education, Qin Zhiyuan originally wanted to hire experts from Germany for psychological counseling at a high salary. After contacting William III, Qin Zhiyuan found that Edmund Betsy, the top expert in German psychology, was currently in Lanfang. So Qin Zhiyuan immediately set up a psychology research institute headed by Edmund Betsy, starting with the Boy Scouts and specializing in psychology research. According to Qin Zhiyuan's idea, the Boy Scouts should not only treat the enemy as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, but also treat their comrades as warmly as spring, and treat their work as passionately as summer.

Finally, the education method.

The previous Boy Scouts were basically military education, and the officers of the Boy Scout camps were basically retired disabled soldiers. Although these soldiers were unable to continue to fight due to physical conditions, they were unwilling to be lonely. The working method was still simple and rough, and the cultural level was extremely limited. Therefore, the management of the Boy Scout camps tended to be rough, which was not conducive to the growth of the Boy Scouts.

After Qin Zhiyuan learned about the nature of the "Black Cross", he did not want to disband the "Black Cross". The children's loyalty to Qin Zhiyuan must be affirmed, but more importantly, they must be properly guided so that these scouts can express their loyalty in the right way. So Qin Zhiyuan selected outstanding graduates from normal colleges in various parts of Lanfang, and preferred female graduates, gave them military status, and assigned them to scout camps across the country to strengthen the teaching staff in the scouts so that the scouts can receive better education.

The reason why the selected graduates are more inclined to women is that women have more delicate methods and better patience in their work, and at the same time they have a very important role in psychological comfort for children. And Qin Zhiyuan added those female teachers to the military status and became female instructors. Just think about it, by then, each scout camp will have dozens or hundreds of young, beautiful and heroic female instructors--

Yeah, just thinking about it makes some people inexplicably excited.

After completing the above work, Qin Zhiyuan did not forget to select the best from the best.

According to Qin Zhiyuan's idea, the Boy Scout Camp on Penglai Island will no longer publicly recruit Boy Scouts. This camp will be regarded as the "highest institution" of the Boy Scout Camp, and the members of the camp will be the best part of the Boy Scouts from all over the country. Considering Qin De's future joining and the size of the "companions", only the children of soldiers and civilians who have been awarded titles can recommend their immediate relatives to join, which is also one of the privileges of the military class.

After a series of combined punches, the Boy Scouts immediately became the focus of attention of the whole society. Everyone with a discerning eye knew that this was Qin Zhiyuan preparing for Qin De to join the Boy Scouts, so some people with intentions took action and began to plan for the future of the family.

Huang Bohan reacted the fastest. As soon as Qin Zhiyuan showed his attention to the Boy Scouts, Huang Bohan immediately donated 10 million Lanfang yuan to the Boy Scout Camp.

This number has not won Qin Zhiyuan's praise, but first attracted Lu Zhengxiang's ridicule.

At a cabinet meeting in March 1922, right after Huang Bohan expressed his intention to donate, Lu Zhengxiang sneered: "Ten million, Mr. Speaker, you are very generous, but it is still unknown whether this will discourage others."

Indeed, this donation still has some hidden dangers. Huang Bohan personally invested 10 million yuan, which is equivalent to setting a benchmark here. Do you want others to donate? How much is appropriate to donate?

"Haha, Prime Minister, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you don't have any needs for the Boy Scouts." Huang Bohan is also a person who doesn't give in, and he immediately retorted.

Lu Zhengxiang's personal morality is speechless. He works hard, is upright, does not form a party, and does not engage in self-interest. No one can say anything about Lu Zhengxiang's personal morality. It's a pity that Lu Zhengxiang and his foreign wife seem to have a hidden disease. Although they have been married for a long time, Lu Zhengxiang has no children, which has become the biggest pain in the hearts of Lu Zhengxiang and his wife.

Huang Bohan is not authentic either. It is said that you don't hit people in the face and don't expose their shortcomings when scolding them. Huang Bohan used the fact that Lu Zhengxiang had no children to mock Lu Zhengxiang, which is indeed not kind.

After hearing what Huang Bohan said, Lu Zhengxiang's face immediately turned red. He stood up angrily and glared at Huang Bohan, his face ferocious, as if he was going to bite someone.

Huang Bohan had no intention of being afraid, he was smug and leisurely, with a look of "what can you do to me" and asked for a beating.

"Too much, how can you say that!" Mary, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who is a woman, immediately denounced Huang Bohan

"Zi Xin, don't be angry, Taiyuan has this bad temper." Commerce Minister Huang Jinsheng immediately spoke well of Huang Bohan. Huang Jinsheng and Huang Bohan are good friends, and he said this to save Huang Bohan from punishment.

"Taiyuan has gone too far, apologize to Zi Xin quickly." Qin Zhiyuan had to stand up and say something fair. Looking at Lu Zhengxiang's posture, if the Prime Minister and the Speaker fought at the cabinet meeting, it would really become a joke.

"Ah, Prime Minister, don't take it personally. I was not careful with my words. Please forgive me." Huang Bohan couldn't ignore Qin Zhiyuan's words. He stood up and pretended to apologize, but he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.

"Ahem, it's a good thing that the Speaker wants to donate, but a private donation of 10 million is a bit shocking. It's better for the Speaker to donate in the name of the Huang Group, so that people will have less gossip." Foreign Minister Zhang Jingzong is still cunning and this suggestion is not bad.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

"That's right, that's right. Huang is indeed not thoughtful enough. Let's do as Brother Zhang wants." Huang Bohan immediately backed down.

"In that case, I will donate 8 million on behalf of Jinsheng Light Industry." Huang Jinsheng didn't miss the opportunity.

8 million, this number is really good. It will not steal Huang Bohan's limelight, nor will it make Qin Zhiyuan think that he is deliberately neglecting it. It seems that Huang Jinsheng is really smart.

"Our Ministry of Science and Technology is relatively poor, so we'll just donate 100,000." Minister of Science and Technology Porterlem was unwilling to lag behind and wanted to take advantage of the situation.

"Why is your Ministry of Science and Technology poor? Your allocation is the highest among all departments. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is really poor. We don't have a penny in the account. If you want to donate, you probably have to go back to the staff to raise funds." Foreign Minister Zhang Jingzong also started to complain about being poor, and the meeting showed signs of going off track again.

"Isn't it easy for your Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get money? Go to the French and German governments to beg for alms. There are many French and German people in our Boy Scouts. They have been eating from us for so long, so we should show some appreciation." Huang Jinsheng is also a businessman, with a thorough understanding of human nature and many tricks.

"That's right, that's right. Last time, when there was a famine in Bavaria, Germany, we donated 20 million. We should reciprocate." Zhang Jingzong's eyes immediately lit up amazingly.

Seeing that the topic of the meeting had completely gone off track, Qin Zhiyuan had to step forward: "Okay, okay, donate according to your ability. Departments are not allowed to compete with each other, levy levies, or take the opportunity to make money. As for the Boy Scouts, I will donate 100 million."

One hundred million!

It sounds like a lot of money, but the expenses of the Lan Fang Boy Scouts have always been supported by Qin Zhiyuan personally, which is just a transfer from one hand to the other.

It still has some effect. After the news of the cabinet ministers' generous donations spread, all walks of life in Lan Fang society began to raise funds, and the soldiers were particularly enthusiastic because their children had the opportunity to be classmates with the crown prince. This opportunity would only be possible if there was a lot of smoke coming out of their graves.

In just one month, by April, the donations from all walks of life in Lan Fang to the Boy Scouts had exceeded 3 billion Lan Fang yuan, half of which came from the military. France, which had just severed its alliance with Lan Fang, also showed goodwill and donated 100 million francs directly, becoming the largest donation the Boy Scouts had received since its establishment.

If calculated according to current prices, this money is enough to run the Boy Scouts until the 21st century.

It's a little late, please forgive me -
