Chapter 1002 Promoting the Chinese Language
Of course, the official languages used in Ganglong before were not the local languages, but English and French, but now that the military and government of Ganglong were under the control of the Xinghua Empire, Yi Xingchen was still very confident in implementing Mandarin in Ganglong and making Mandarin one of the official languages of Ganglong.
The capital of Ganglong State, the presidential palace of Hanon City.
Chu Hans held a "warrant", but he was extremely helpless in his heart. This is because the content of this "warrant" is that the emperor urged Chu Hans to order him to promote the Chinese language and Chinese language on a large scale in the territory of Ganglong State.
Receiving such an instruction and task, as the president of a country, Chu Hans felt very embarrassed. Although this is a simple instruction, it will mean a lot of trouble.
This is tantamount to influencing the original cultural system of Ganglong to a certain extent, which will naturally not be an easy task.
However, no matter how much trouble this order would have to be carried out, as a courtier, this was something Chu Hans had to do.
Because of the unique geographical and historical development of Ganglong, the country has an indigenous language, but the written language is not well developed. In short, the official instruments are English and French, and the main languages of communication are the indigenous languages of the country.
At present, the country of Ganglong is building its own unique culture and promoting traditional languages. If Chu Hans forcibly promotes Chinese, he will definitely be dissatisfied with domestic public opinion.
Of course, Chu Hans was in favor of promoting the Chinese language, and more and more citizens of the Xinghua Empire entered the Ganglong Kingdom and integrated into the Ganglong Kingdom, which was also beneficial to his stable position.
Chu Hans immediately summoned the Minister of Education of Ganglong State.
"What, Your Excellency President, I'm afraid this will not work! The promotion of the Chinese language will cause considerable confusion at the cultural level of our country. The Minister of Education expressed opposition to the promotion of the Chinese language, "and the main opposition will be the intellectuals of our country." These intellectuals, who are also the elite of our country, are all over the country's political and business circles. If they do not cooperate, the country's economy will be greatly changed. ”
"I will not force ordinary citizens to learn Mandarin, but any public school in Ganglong must have a Mandarin curriculum. I will tell you that in the future, the items of the Chinese language test will be added to the national civil service examination. Chuhans said. He ignored the advice of the Minister of Education, and he was determined to forcibly promote the Chinese language. He can not force the people to learn Chinese, but Chinese language education must be based in the country of Ganglong, and it must be promoted to learn by the people in a variety of ways.
"Promoting the Chinese language is a must. You have to give it to me if you want to make a comprehensive rollout, and if you can't do it, then another education minister will do it. Chuhans said.
The Minister of Education was stunned for a moment, he did not expect Chu Hans to be so tough and did not listen to his opinion at all.
"Xinghua Group is a group of the Republic of Xinghua Island, and the language used by most of the middle and senior employees in the group is Mandarin, which is not the point, the point is that Xinghua Group has brought tens of billions of euros into Ganglong country, and they will make all-round investment in the whole society to develop Ganglong country. The senior management of Schmidt Group wants us to cultivate a group of people who can understand Chinese, so I want to cultivate a group of talents who can understand Chinese. In addition, the proportion of China in the international community is increasing, and the more talented people who know Chinese, it is not a bad thing. Chu Hans directly threw the pot to Xinghua Group, which can be regarded as giving the Minister of Education a reason.
When the Minister of Education heard this, the resistance decreased slightly.
"President, do we need to include the Mandarin test in our entrance exams?" said the education minister.
"Anyway, in our country's entrance exams, there are language exams in European and American countries, and it's nothing to add Chinese exams. However, in order to avoid student resistance, the Ministry of Education has ordered secondary school students to take Mandarin as an option. However, I still hope that the Ministry of Education will include Mandarin in the minor curriculum for primary schools as soon as possible. In short, the Ministry of Education has to adopt a series of policies to promote the Chinese language without putting up barriers. Specific policies, you stay for the meeting, and then we'll continue to discuss......" Chuhans said.
Chu Hans thought about it and called Yan En and Emir respectively, hoping that they would send someone over to discuss the promotion of Mandarin together. Obviously, this matter is not something that he can do alone, and it needs to be coordinated by multiple parties. And promoting a language is no small task. Not only does it require the cooperation of a large number of personnel, but the corresponding funds must also be in place.
Yan En and Emir knew the task given to Chu Hans by Yi Xingchen, and they did not slack off, and specially brought the corresponding team of talents to the presidential palace to participate in high-level government meetings.
First of all, the Minister of Education raised some of the difficulties encountered in promoting the Chinese language.
"President, I have obtained the curriculum materials of universities, primary and secondary schools across the country, and found that there are no Chinese-related courses in my country except for one university that has Chinese elective courses. If we were to start promoting Mandarin across the country, I'm afraid we wouldn't have enough Mandarin teachers in terms of hardware. The Minister of Education wiped his sweat and said. He wanted to persuade his president that the promotion of Mandarin needed to be gradual.
Chu Hansi thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Yan'en, do you have any suggestions?"
"The lack of Chinese teachers is a hard problem, and Ganglongguo is not rich enough to have a computer for the whole people, so online teaching is not advisable, and I think TV teaching will be a good idea. Yan En said.
As soon as Yan En's words fell, Emir followed and said, "Xinghua Group wants to create a Chinese channel in Ganglong to promote the Chinese language. This channel will promote various Chinese cultures, broadcast excellent Chinese TV programs, movies, etc. Of course, we pledge to respect the culture of the country of Ganglong, to uphold the government of the country of Kong, and not to violate the laws of the country of Konglong. He looked at the Minister of Education and made a point of giving some more assurances so that the Minister of Education would not object.
Chu Hans glanced at the Minister of Education, but the Minister of Education did not speak, and he did not say anything against it. Obviously, adding a Chinese-language channel is within his tolerance.
"We promote Mandarin not to study Mandarin as a language, but to facilitate communication. Schmidt Group needs a large number of people who can speak Mandarin, and these people who understand Mandarin can also promote Schmidt Group to take root in Ganglong Country. Studies have shown that to promote the Chinese language, you only need to master 2,000 words to be able to use the Chinese language and Chinese language normally. Moreover, it does not take too long to master these Chinese and Chinese characters, and it often takes a year of teaching. Schmidt Group also has two suggestions, the first of which is to deepen the university Mandarin elective course and make it a compulsory course. Such a compulsory course is not demanding, as long as you can write the Chinese pinyin alphabet silently and read a Chinese article, even if you pass it, you will get credits. Students who perform well will receive a scholarship from Schmidt Group. The second suggestion is to implement Chinese summer camp activities in primary and secondary schools, and Schmidt Group will be responsible for all the activities of this Chinese summer camp. Every student in the primary school is required to attend twice before graduating from primary school. Secondary school students, before graduating from secondary school, are required to attend at least once. I ask the Ministry of Education to come up with a relevant policy, requiring schools to ensure that every student signs up for summer camp activities, and the specific time schedule and the school provides comments. However, I recommend that students between the ages of twelve and fifteen take at least once. The Ministry of Education promises that if you learn Chinese well, you can also get extra points in the entrance exam. In addition, Xinghua Group will also give certain rewards, excellent people can visit the production workshop of Xinghua Group...... "Yan En according to his own ideas, constantly say his own suggestions, Emir will give financial support on the side, to ensure that Yan En's ideas can be realized."
Chu Hans constantly observed the changes in the expressions of the officials in the conference room, and he summoned not only the Minister of Education, but also the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Defense and other key officials.
Hans Chu promotes Mandarin, and he is not worried that his position will be unstable. Therefore, Chu Hans is determined to promote the Chinese language in an all-round way, and he will not allow any department to drag him back. If the Minister of Education showed the slightest dissatisfaction, or a perfunctory look, Chuhans would not hesitate to replace him with someone who was willing to do what he said. Ministers from other departments, he summoned them to a meeting to let them know the Government's determination to give it absolute support in all respects.
"I think it's pretty good, can the Ministry of Education really guarantee cooperation?" Chu Hans asked.
"The Ministry of Education will issue a series of documents asking schools to cooperate. If there are schools that don't cooperate, we will create some obstacles for them to slow down or reduce education funding. The Minister of Education stated.
Chu Hans glanced at the other officials sitting in the conference room who had not said anything.
Seeing this, other officials said that the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense were basically officers of the Xinghua Imperial Guard, so he took the lead in expressing his position, saying: "The Ministry of Defense will introduce a Chinese interest class for the army." If Schmidt Group can provide a funding, we can also promote the Chinese language. At the same time, we hope that the three stages will be subdivided, and soldiers who have mastered Mandarin at different levels will be able to receive monetary subsidies. ”
According to the three stages, I can propose three standards, five euros, ten euros, and twenty euros, and a monthly allowance to the soldier until he is discharged. ”
In the conference room, everyone exclaimed. If there are 200,000 active military personnel in Ganglong Kingdom, if these 200,000 soldiers learn Chinese, through the first stage, Xinghua Group will have to bear at least 1 million euros per month. You have to pay 10 million euros a year and you don't get anything. No matter how you look at it, it's a big deal.
When the Minister of Education heard this, his eyes lit up a lot, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to how many scholarships Schmidt Group would come up with to reward students for learning Mandarin. The Minister of Education even thought that if the funds were in the hands of the Ministry of Education, it would be even more wonderful and could be used to improve the welfare of the officials of the Ministry of Education. However, there was no possibility of his idea coming to fruition.
"Schmidt Group's funds for the promotion of the Chinese language must be earmarked, and the Presidential Office will send someone to follow up. Chuhans said.
"We also have a finance station to review the use of expenses. Emir also said.
After the military clearly expressed its support, no one dared to oppose Chu Hans's words. The matter of promoting the Chinese language was quickly decided. In accordance with the content of the meeting, the Ministry of Education issued an executive order requiring all schools in Ganglong to cooperate with the promotion of the Chinese language. Not only that, but also cooperate with the arrangement of the Ministry of Education to come up with the list of students as soon as possible, and once the summer vacation is over, they must participate in the activities.
The emir transferred a million euros to the Ministry of Defense on the spot as the cost of the first instalment of the promotion. The promotion method in the military is also simple, that is, the introduction of the Chinese version of the military regulations, and soldiers who can recite military regulations in Chinese have passed the first stage. In the second stage, students will be able to write simple Five Cross Orders in Mandarin, and in the third stage, they will be able to use Mandarin normally and have simple conversations. In terms of assessment, the officers of the army are responsible for the assessment.
The most urgent thing for Chu Hans, Yan En, and Emir to do is to add a Chinese-language channel. However, they soon found out that this was not easy.
Although Schmidt Group is very rich, adding a channel is not a trivial matter, and it requires a professional team of personnel and equipment. In a short period of time, Schmidt Group was unable to support manpower.
"Assembling the equipment and people for a channel is not a simple task, and it is impossible to complete it in a short period of time. Chuhans said. He looked at Yan En, hoping that Yan En would tell the emperor about his difficulties.
Yan En ignored Chu Hansi's thoughts, he thought about it seriously, and really found a way, and said, "We might as well introduce a Chinese channel." ”
When Chu Hans heard this, he was surprised: "Do we want to introduce Huaguo's channels? However, Huaguo's international channel programs and TV dramas do not completely use Chinese. ”
Emir smiled, "I see, Lord Yan'en, do you mean our TV channel?"
Yan En nodded and said, "You and I have come together." ”
"What channel?" asked Chuhans curiously. He really hadn't figured out what TV channel the empire had on Blue Mercury.
"The empire has its own television station on Blue Mercury, and I forgot about it for a while. Xinghua Island TV, this is our Xinghua Empire's own TV station, and most of the staff in it are our own people. We asked Xinghua Island TV Station to use the equipment and resources there to open up a Chinese-language channel, which was introduced by Ganglong and allowed the people of Ganglong to receive signals. Yan En said.
"Good idea! Xinghua Island TV station must have a lot of Chinese-language programs, and we can save a lot of money! In fact, Xinghua Island TV station can maintain this channel as long as it sets up a reporter station in Ganglong and regularly collects some news about Ganglong. Not only that, but we can also do several variety shows that fit the country of Ganglong to attract popularity. The emir replied.
