Chapter 391: Mensa
Mensa is a good thing, of course, a weapon to use against foreigners.
The exam requires a hundred dollars, and the annual fee is seventy, so you can get a card, and the right to meet with the people who have joined the association, and in other aspects, you can't even get a cookie, of course, basically they just use these things to despise those dicks who can't get this card.
This kind of don't have to be promoted.,Let the dicks be willing.,Full of joy to pay money,It's simply the world's first-class marketing,This kind of high-level IQ tax,Compared to what high oxygen water,Hydrophilic mask is more ruthless,The mask must at least make a cotton cloth,Stick some liquid,And then dare to collect money there,And Mensa is to use the question bank to brush questions,Mailing all kinds of cards,The exam fee is expensive,It's simply a model in the businessγ
Xu Hao took out a simplified version of Mensa, many of which are picture-style logic topics, all kinds of mathematical and logical things, it can be said that even if they are thoroughly studied, they are just exercising logical thinking, and it may even make people's brains wooden, but it can already bluff people, there is nothing bad in it, and it is very easy to screen people with higher IQs, at least for Xu Hao's requirements, some young, young people who are interested in natural science.
Although it is still in the aftermath of the war, there are indeed many talents in the city of London, and they are also very interested in some knowledge points distributed by Xu Hao's half-truths, even at this time, there are thousands of people, and there are more than 100 people who are not too old men, although they are destined to be brushed down, but people are interested in it.
The place of the exam is in a church, divided into several halls, the church in this era is the center of various activities, at least there is nothing taboo, this exam is only a few people colluding with each other to answer the answers, and there is nothing to plagiarize, so the four are very peaceful, Xu Hao is just very superior to look at these British young people shaking their heads, racking their brains to study these broken topics.
How many years ago, Xu Hao was still a student who was dissatisfied with the teacher because he didn't want to work hard, and every exam from childhood to adulthood was a junior who worked hard to pass, and later became a soldier, and it was miserable to learn all kinds of things that needed to be complicated, but fortunately, there were changes later, and after coming to the new time and space, he began to rise up, as long as he didn't need complicated memories and exams, but commanded others so hard, he still had a few brushes.
In his memory, the most uncomfortable time during the exam was the sudden appearance of an old man with a serious face and no smile, who seemed to be watching everyone's exam papers expressionlessly, and the pressure on him was very huge, at least Xu Hao was about to form a shadow.
Fortunately, such days have passed, and now, he has become a big rooster running around, although he didn't show it, but he still followed the example of those teachers, and looked at their exam papers everywhere, which can be regarded as a manifestation of superiority.
It's all multiple-choice questions, and the things in it are not necessarily difficult, but they all need time to think, and this requirement is to complete the exam in a short time, considering that the British are the first to contact these things, they are naturally given time to prepare, 3 hours to do 100 questions, in fact, the time is quite rich, and many questions are actually very simple.
Williams held a test paper in his hand, and the answers provided by Xu Hao in his hand, nodded from time to time, and said: "These questions are really interesting, is your country really so selective of talents, it's really amazing." β
"It's kind of part of the exam."
Later in life, the British absorbed the merits of the other countries of the world to a terrible extent, and in 1870, just after the Opium War, they had completed all kinds of studies and investigations, established the Civil Affairs Commission for their empire, and designed this system.
This is quite terrifying, and it is also why the Presbyterian Council must have more contact with the British, these guys are extremely sensitive to strength and system, even if it is a group of natives who have just lost at their hands, if there is any shining point in their body, they can also learn in detail.
Williams rolled his eyes, unlike others, he understood early on that these Chinese must have a very advanced system and culture, not to mention anything else, compared with many years later, he also discovered such benefits for the first time.
Historically, the British Empire's civil affairs committee, after the Opium War, suddenly entered the British field of vision, when a Guangdong businessman, provided them with the principle of this system, compared to other countries' disregard for Eastern civilization, these British are very good at divergent learning, and this Williams is also very good about this, as one of China's advanced culture, Xu Hao has long talked about the use of imperial examinations by Chinese to select government talents.
Of course, in terms of this system, the British follow the path of separation of officials, that is, officials are officials, and officials who do things are officials, with clear hierarchies and cannot be promoted.
"If we can, we still want to invite more scholars from your country to teach in our country, and we are willing to give them very high remuneration."
To tell the truth, a few people brought by Xu Hao are basically called masters in which aspect they are, but musicians, craftsmen do beautiful work, but it can't attract these elites, even if the level of several painters is not worse than Tang Bohu, can be called the master of the book in this era, if you live in the 21st century, there are countless fans who come to cheer for any comic exhibition, but, the problem here is that these elites want Chinese teachers about natural science.
This is like the China of later generations, aiming at the eternal opportunity of the death of the hairy bear in the north, and fooling a large number of outstanding Russian scientists back to China, of course, it is the Americans who are more likely to start, even if I don't use the Maozi scientists I found, I use them to see the gate, use the capital of the scientists to raise the gatekeeper, and don't let them go back to work for Maozi! (I can't believe it, I don't put it back)
Xu Hao said: "On this point, I am troublesome, but we are trying to communicate, now, isn't there the first batch of such advanced talents, you can rest assured, they will arrive in China and thrive." β
Xu Hao complained in his heart, if you think that studying liberal arts, finance, health and medicine is advanced, then we have nothing to question.
Williams was also very polite and said: "I don't say this, it's just that these children are too young, and it's always a little reluctant to let them leave so far." β
Xu Hao complained in his heart, why are you not too far away to go out for thousands of miles to grab land?
Of course, on the surface, you still have to be polite, "Don't worry, I will be responsible, for these students, we guarantee to provide full scholarships, basically life is no problem." β
Williams said: "Thank you very much, by the way, there are so many children, although they are young, but they are very smart, and they are full of curiosity about the world, but I am afraid that they are not as easy as older people to understand such problems, I hope you can give them more opportunities......"
"No problem! We've got you covered. β
"Then I'm sorry for you, I have to visit many countries, and finally Rome to meet the Pope, and in the meantime, these qualified students will have to live in London, and of course, some of them are busy, and they still have to pass the language barrier."
While speaking, Xu Hao took out a booklet and said: "This thing is the standard version of the exam textbook we issued, called IELTS, the so-called IELTS, is Wenya, Sven, the full name of the international Chinese language testing system, is a well-known university in China Wudaokou University of Engineering and Technology for research, well, as long as you pass this language test, you can apply to enter China's universities for study." β
"Oh, are there many universities in your country?"
"Yes," Xu Hao blew out a hundred times the Chinese universities that still exist on the blueprint in one breath: "Yuanmingyuan Vocational and Technical School, Wudaokou University of Engineering and Technology is our only two first-class universities, in addition, there are Jishuitan Teachers College, Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Area Preparatory Steelmaker Training College, Weigongcun Auto Parts Maintenance Service Station, China National Petroleum Corporation Children's School, well, there are a lot, all of them are a choice, but, speaking of which, when this kind of choice, I will arrange to study." β
In this era, the communication between the East and the West is very poor, a village girl can pretend to be a Chinese princess in Paris, a missionary who has been to China does not dare to confirm the authenticity, Williams can only let Xu Hao mess up, thinking of his country's universities can only be confused to conduct research, and people have formed a stage of combining production, education and research, and they have decided to send their children to study in China, and they do not hesitate to spend how much money, not to mention anything else, it is all money.
It wasn't just Williams who was thrilled by this, Charles I was also very excited.
As an old-school aristocrat, in this era, there are few entertainment activities, and women can only meet his simple needs, which are seriously limited to the affordability of his body.
That's why rich people don't buy iPhones, when he finds out that the high school girls who help him warm up their beds also have a fruit machine, how far will that force fall, so they deliberately pursue things that ordinary people can't afford to play, what horseback riding, golf, money is one thing, scarcity is another.
It was also normal for Charles I to like hunting games, the old shotgun was in his hands, almost a killing machine, and he knew a lot about muskets, so it only took a few days to get his hands on the Mauser rifle specially made by the Elders.
It was very cold in England in winter, and after the heavy snow covered a grassland, it was white, and only a few people in thick clothes walked around the earth as black dots, and a man on horseback came back from a distance, holding a scarecrow in his hand, and when he got in front of a group of people, he jumped off the tall horse, still holding the scarecrow, and shouted at the same time: "Your Majesty, you see, the power of this firearm is indeed so amazing!" β
I saw that the scarecrow had been beaten to pieces, not in shape, extremely miserable, naturally it was the credit of the rifle in the hands of Charles I, Charles I stroked his beard, and said: "It is indeed a very powerful rifle, the range is farther than the ordinary standard musket, we can completely follow the tactics sent by that distant friend, fly a kite, and use the characteristics of our rifle with a long range and high rate of fire to carry out a devastating blow to the army of the rebels!" β
A tall and fat man suddenly became excited, and said: "Your Majesty, please appoint me to command this army, my father and brother have been killed by all evil traitors, and my loyalty to Your Majesty and the kingdom is well known!" β
"Sir, I understand your desire to avenge your father, but these weapons came too late, and I also admit that if these thousand rifles are sent to the army and the troops are well trained, they can indeed exert great power, but there is not enough time, and in this winter, it is difficult to mobilize the nobles to go again, without training, how to let the soldiers go to the battlefield?" An elderly man next to him said.
Charles I suddenly said: "By the way, the little friend from afar said that he suggested how we should fight?" β
"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy retreats and I chase, although he is now in London, but he naturally has no good impression of these rebels, but he said, the strength of the rebels is ten times that of us, it is difficult to confront the enemy head-on, it is better to retreat into the northern Scottish highlands, accumulate strength there, train soldiers, and when the time is ripe, you can ......"
Scotland ah.
Charles I sighed, if he could easily go north, he wouldn't have to be so entangled.
It must be said that the Chinese cannot understand how countries without centralized authority exist, but the British Empire does have too many layers at home, you know, the British will send as many as four World Cup teams in the future, whether this is too smart or too stupid no one knows.
The problem with Charles I was that there were too many people to offend.
Being in a Protestant country, but envious of the princess girl of a Catholic country, being discriminated against and discriminated against, and finally marrying a Catholic princess, the Protestants are dissatisfied.
The Catholic Church was also unhappy with the issue of choosing sides for its involvement in the Thirty Years' War.
Next, the entire merchant class gradually abandoned the king, and now, the backbone of the opposite side of Charles I are all aristocrats like Cromwell, and I have to say that the political power and micro-manipulation of this thing are really poor.
At the most critical moment, there were only a few hundred people left around the king, and the hearts were disheartened, but fortunately, after getting the rifle recently, he used this weapon as a phantom of hope to pull many people back, but it was really troublesome to invite them one by one.
