In response to Eder's inquiry, Ambassador Shaw felt that he did not know how to answer. The ambassador himself is not an economist, so I really don't know how to answer this question.

So after thinking about it for a while, he said: "It may be that Romania is not well-known in the country, while other countries have been operating in the country for many years, and the public has recognized them." ”

Faced with Ambassador Shao's answer, Prishan thought for a moment and replied: "Indeed, as you said, Romania was not famous in your country before. However, I believe that with the development of Romania in the future, Romania will definitely be liked by the Chinese people in the future. Because we have also grown from a small weakness, and there are no political disputes between our two countries at all. We have never invaded or oppressed your country, and a new friend who has no bad deeds is sure that your country will like it. ”

Shao Mingren, who was taken aback by what Eder said, immediately replied: "Your Majesty, what you said is right, in the future, the relations between Romania and China will definitely reach a new level. ”

He didn't expect Eder to say this about Britain, France and other powers. That's right, many countries in Europe now call the previous war between Britain and France with China a punishment for a stupid society.

He may be able to use this opportunity to improve his relationship with the king, and it will also benefit his weight in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after all, not everyone can be a friend of the monarch of a country, especially if the country is relatively strong.

Thinking of this, Ambassador Shao's heart was a little hot. "I did not expect His Majesty the King to be so sympathetic to China's plight, and I am here to thank Your Excellency very much on behalf of the Beiyang Government for your righteous words."

After hearing Ambassador Shao's speech, Eder said with a smile: "It's nothing, a country composed of 40,000 Chinese people will definitely have its own place in the world in the future, and it is only the dawn before darkness." As long as China is reunited, no one can ignore the power of your country. ”

Edel added inwardly, but it will take a long time to complete the true unification, because there is a vicious dog beside you.

"Thank you very much for your majesty's attention to the Chinese people, we will not forget those countries that really helped us, and for Romania, our people will definitely know the goodwill of your country."

Ambassador Shao, who has no special function and can't hear Eder's inner words, is really very happy this time. Because it is really rare to let China be judged in this way, especially if this person is still the monarch of a country.

At present, the general attitude of European countries towards the ambassadors of the Republic of China is that they are arrogant, and even if they hide it, they are contemptuous of some inferior countries. On this point, Shao Mingren, who has been working at European embassies, is clear. After all, Europe is the core of the civilized world, and it is normal to look down on other countries.

At this time, Eder stated the main purpose of this summoning of Ambassador Shao.

"I've heard that your country and other countries have plans to study abroad, but I wonder if we can expand this program to Romania. Our schools in Romania are no worse than in other countries, and we can also provide funds to help students who are eager to learn from across the ocean. ”

That's right, Eder is very interested in the current work-study program. There is a joke in later generations that studying in the United States is an art and literary scholar, studying in Germany is an engineer and general, and studying in France is a revolutionary. The most famous work-study class that has traveled to the law has many famous figures in later generations. That long unspeakable name alone will affect future generations for many years.

This time, Eder plans to advance his plan to study in Romania. This is not only to expand Romania's reputation in China, but also for his own careful wish, who made him a Chinese in his previous life.

Hearing that Eder planned to fund his plan to study in Romania made Shao Mingren overjoyed, which was a real achievement. He didn't expect that such a big pie would fall on his head just after coming to Romania, which would not only improve his weight in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also make himself famous in the country.

"I don't know, how many students does His Majesty plan to sponsor each year to study abroad?"

In response to Ambassador Shao's inquiry, Eder thought for a moment and replied, "I plan to sponsor the study abroad program for 200 students every year, and each international student will be given a living allowance of 840 lei per year. ”

Don't think this amount is small, it takes at least three years to study abroad, and it usually starts in four years. One year of preparatory language study and textbooks, four years of university life. Under this plan, Eder would need to sponsor nearly $1.5 million a year for living allowances, not including road and domestic expenses.

Therefore, the cost of studying abroad in this era is really very high, and it is really not something that ordinary people can afford, even the government cannot afford to study abroad for too many people. This is also the reason why Eder is only now starting his study abroad program, before Romania was poor jingle, where did he get the money to fund others. Even if this country is the motherland of one's previous life.

Therefore, after hearing the figure reported by Eder, His Excellency Ambassador Shao's face flushed with excitement, this is really a great credit, and I wonder if he will be transferred back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take up a position such as vice minister. But then Eder said a word that pulled him back to reality.

"I plan to use this money to let Mr. Cai Yuanpei of your country be responsible for presiding over the enrollment work."

Edel was going to pay for it himself. As far as the current situation of the Republic of China is concerned, if it is handed over to others, there may be something to come out of. Money moves people's hearts, and he understands this truth. Mr. Cai is the most famous educator in the Republic of China, and Eder thinks that he should feel much more at ease when the money is handed over to him.

Hearing that Eder did not intend to give the money directly to the Beijing government, Ambassador Shao certainly had no choice but to say anything. After all, this is Romania's money, and he is afraid that the credit will fly because of the jurisdiction over this money. So he immediately said: "President Cai has a noble character, and he is responsible for taking care of this money, and our government is very relieved." ”

Later, Ambassador Shao also proposed to Eder the proposal to establish a Sino-Romanian Friendship Association, which was agreed to by Eder to expand Romania's reputation in China. However, this fund is not as high as the study abroad plan, which costs one million lei a year. The main purpose is to promote Romania's fame in newspapers and radio, and to lay a good foundation for Romanian products to enter China in the future.

Later, in an environment where the guests of honour were satisfied, Ambassador Shao left the palace after bidding farewell to Eder, but he was to immediately inform the country of the good news.

Principal Cai, who learned of this great news, immediately recruited another batch of students to prepare to send them to Romania. In any case, this kind of study abroad program sponsored by foreign monarchs is also a huge surprise for the poor and white Republic of China. At the same time, the country of Romania has also spread everywhere, and they also have a very good impression of Eder, the monarch who sponsored the study abroad.

So in the following August, the first batch of students from Liuluo left Shanghai.

A short 16-year-old student with a strong Sichuan accent was also added to Eder's study abroad program. He himself was curious about the country, and planned to go to Romania, which had gradually grown from weak to strong, to learn how to become a strong country.

This was what Eder had not anticipated.
