On the same day, Zhang Lingyang issued an order to reprimand Concubine Gao and Concubine Cao, and the two stopped.

The next day, the British envoy entered the palace to ask to see Zhang Lingyang and issued an official credential.

It turned out that four months ago, the Queen of England died, and Princess Victoria, who was the second-in-line heir to the throne, officially ascended the throne and became the new Queen of England.

At the same time, his son, the Nine Emperors, was made a prince and officially became the first in line of succession to the throne of the British Empire.

After Zhang Lingyang received the news, he was very happy, and immediately ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites to go to England to congratulate and send rich gifts.

Among them, most of them are things that Victoria likes, and of course, the most are the things that the Nine Emperors like.

As Princess Victoria inherited the throne of the British Empire, the relationship between England and the Great Zhou grew closer.

What's more, under the secret instruction of the imperial court, the trade volume between the Great Zhou and England began to grow by leaps and bounds, and England seemed to have replaced France as the number one trading power in the Great Zhou.

After all, now that Victoria has become the queen of the British Empire, Zhang Lingyang, as her husband, has made a big stroke of the pen and ordered to recruit 500 English students to study in the Great Zhou Guozijian.

Of course, today's Guozijian is the expanded Guozijian.

Today's Guozijian has three campuses in Beiping Mansion, Luoyang Mansion and Jiangning Mansion, with more than 10,000 students.

Among them, Jiangningfu Campus and Luoyangfu Campus are the two campuses with the largest number of international students.

And the two campuses are very different.

Most of the European students in the Jiangning Mansion campus are children of small aristocrats and merchants.

The Luoyang Mansion Campus recruits European students who are all children of great nobles and even royal families from European countries, and of course, there are also students including nobles and royal children of the Great Zhou vassal countries.

Different from later generations, if you want to enter the Guozijian of the Great Zhou to study, international students must not only be proficient in Chinese, but also pay high tuition fees.

If only the above two conditions are met, you still can't enter the Guozijian to study, and the threshold for the Guozijian is not so low.

They also need to have the qualification of recommendation from a prestigious European university, or the qualification of conquest.

The first is for European students, and the second is for students from the Great Zhou vassal countries.

After all, everyone wants to come to Da Zhou to study, but as the top university in Da Zhou, although Guozijian's faculty is strong, it is still a little stretched, so the above conditions are imposed as screening.

For these international students from aristocratic or merchant families, high tuition fees have never been a problem, and proficiency in Chinese is not a problem.

The biggest challenge they faced was how to integrate into the cultural environment of the Great Zhou.

As for the vassal states of the Great Zhou, they have been influenced by the Great Zhou for more than a hundred years, and their culture and customs are very close to the Great Zhou.

But they also have constraints, that is, how to obtain their own Guo Jia's recommendation qualifications.

As far as the most obedient Goryeo country is concerned, every year, Da Zhou will recruit about 100 Goryeo students.

Among these fifty students, except for the children of the royal family and the nobles, who can easily obtain the qualification of the Goryeo Imperial Court, there are only a few places left.

And these few places have to compete with thousands of competitors on the same stage before they can stand out.

Therefore, for Guo Jia's students like Gao Li, if they want to study in Da Zhou, the conditions are even more stringent than those of Guo Jia in Europe.

Even, for this reason, Goryeo, Fusang and other vassal states repeatedly wrote to the Great Zhou court, asking the court to further lenient conditions.

After weighing, the Great Zhou court decided that when recruiting international students every year in the future, the number of places recruited by the vassal states would be increased by 20%.

Of course, these 20 percent of the quota must pass the assessment of the Great Zhou Guozijian before they can officially enter the Great Zhou to study abroad.

In fact, in other words, the previous 100 places were reserved for you royal families and noble children, and the 20% of the places that were later expanded were reserved for those common students.

However, these expanded places, once they are officially admitted to the Great Zhou Guozijian, they will enjoy the same treatment as the students of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future.

Even after completing their studies, they can continue to work and study in Dazhou, as long as they have worked in Dazhou for more than five years, they can apply for Dazhou nationality on their own.

Of course, whether the application can be successful or not in the end is not necessarily.

In the same way, in addition to these vassal countries, European students who have worked in the Great Zhou for more than five years can also apply for the nationality of the Great Zhou.

Of course, for European students, if they want to apply for Da Zhou nationality, Da Zhou Royal Academy has a relative advantage over Guozijian.

When this policy is implemented, people who are interested will find that 80% of those who graduate from the Royal Academy can apply for the nationality of Dazhou after working in Da Zhou for five years.

The percentage of European students in the Guozijian is less than 40 out of half, which is less than half of the Royal Academy.

As mentioned before, the teaching subjects of the Great Zhou Royal Academy are mainly science and engineering, and the European students recruited by the Great Zhou Royal Academy are naturally mostly high-achieving students from science and engineering universities in major European universities.

Moreover, before studying abroad, these people have more or less won scholarships from their own institutions.

After all, according to the current trend of European students, students who have not won scholarships are not worthy of studying in Dazhou.

Over time, winning a scholarship has become an important qualification to be able to enter the Great Zhou Royal Academy to study abroad.

And with the passage of time, a few years later, the scale of the Great Zhou Royal Academy has become larger and larger, and it has become a giant in the Great Zhou education world.

In response to this problem, the imperial court had to split the Great Zhou Royal Academy and split it into more than a dozen more elaborate colleges.

After the split, the higher education of the Great Zhou Dynasty quickly formed nine mountains, namely the Great Zhou Guozijian, the Great Zhou Royal Academy of Medicine, the Great Zhou Royal Agricultural College, the Great Zhou Royal Institute of Technology, the Great Zhou Royal Institute of Physics, the Great Zhou Royal College of Chemical Engineering, the Great Zhou Royal School of Business, and the Great Zhou Royal College of Political Science and Law.

Among these institutions, Guozijian is directly under the Ministry of Rites, the Royal College of Medicine is directly under the Tai Hospital, the Royal Agricultural College, the Royal Physics College, and the Royal Institute of Chemical Technology are directly under the Royal Family, the Royal Institute of Technology and the School of Engineering are directly under the Ministry of Engineering, and the Business School and the School of Political Science and Law are directly under the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

This kind of split was only carried out under Zhang Lingyang's strong initiative.

If you taste it carefully, it is not difficult to find that whether it is the School of Physics, the School of Chemical Engineering, or the College of Agriculture, they all belong to the kind of colleges with huge investment and slow efficiency.

Like this academy, the six yamen are really unwilling to take over, so the royal family can only bear this huge expense.

What's more, even if the six yamen are willing to take over, Zhang Lingyang is unwilling.

Because anything, as long as it passes through the hands of the government, it will more or less change its taste.

Therefore, the few colleges that seem to have invested a lot and are useless, and at the same time the most important ones, Zhang Lingyang will firmly control them in his own hands......
