Libin said "yes", thought for a moment, and said, "Just like the Xuanjun Sailor?" ”

Guan Zhuofan shook his head slightly, and said: "Ding Ruchang and them, in the final analysis, are halfway monks and sharpen their guns. We didn't have a serious navy before, and at the beginning of our creation, we couldn't help but rush to do it -- we couldn't always do this! Now there are more and more kinds of tricks in foreigners, in the words of foreigners themselves, it is the 'big bang of science and technology'. All walks of life, technological development, upgrading, is truly a rapid journey! ”

"If we don't lay a good foundation, we won't even be able to solve a 'equation', where can we understand these tricks? Swallow it hard, but eat a swallow date, people are very good, we only get three or four points, and if you don't get it, you will have stomach trouble! In this way, it won't be long before others will be thrown far away again, let alone 'climbing' people's heads! ”

Libin was slightly excited and said, "Lord Belle, what you said is extremely true! ”

After thinking about it again, he said, "Then, the students sent out will be slightly younger. ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "If students already have some foundation, it is best to go directly to other people's 'universities' - after three or five years, they can return to China to show their strength." It's a pity that we can't find many such students. Our students are scored in two ways, one goes to 'university', and the other goes to other people's 'middle school' or even 'primary school' first, and starts from scratch -- in this way, the students are naturally not too old. ”

Libin frowned slightly, raised his hand, nodded his forehead, and said, "We Chinese." There's a lot of stagnation here. It's easy to say that you are going to 'university', but if you are studying 'middle school' or 'elementary school'...... This one. Send children who are not yet minors out of the country. Stay alone on the other side of the ocean, just afraid of ......"

Guan Zhuofan said: "What you said is good. However, there is always a beginning to everything, and in the areas of Jiangnan and Guangdong, there are always people who are willing to do so. And there's no talk of 'leaving the ocean alone', this class of students. Even if it is a public assignment, someone must follow and take care of it. ”

Libin said: "'Everything has a beginning', Lord Belle, you say it well! When I returned to Shanghai, I began to draft the charter! Well, in your mind, which countries should you send students to? What are those subjects to work on? ”

Guan Zhuofan groaned and said: "The first batch of students, the number will not be too many, so they will all be sent to the United States." So take care of it. It's also more convenient. As for what to study, those who study in 'university' should mainly focus on mechanical, metallurgical, chemical, civil engineering, well, agriculture, commerce, law, it is also important; 'Secondary school' and 'primary school' are the time to lay the foundation, and for the time being, there are no subjects that are not subject to the subject—but in the future, when they go on to 'university', they will naturally have to focus on the above subjects. ”

Libin nodded and said, "I understand, it's always the word 'practical'." ”

Guan Zhuofan glanced at Libin appreciatively and said: "Take the word 'practical' as the key - that's exactly what you say!" What China lacks most today is not a subset of economic history! ”

After a pause, he said: "These students, since they stay with others to 'study', they are called 'international students'." ”

Libin nodded and said, "This name is good, and it also has a provenance." ”

"International student" is not a new word. When Japan sent Tang envoys to China, it sent "students" and "returned students" at the same time. Those who returned to China with the Tang envoys were called "returning students"; Those who continue to stay in China to study are called "international students".

Guan Zhuofan said: "Mr. Li, when you draft the charter, you should pay attention to one point: the class that goes to the 'university' is already an adult and is easy to manage, and the real trouble is the younger class. These little 'international students', who are not mentally complete, have stayed in the United States for ten or eight years, but when it comes to completing their studies, they will all become Americans by accident. ”

Libin was shocked and said, "Yes, it's worrying! So ......"

Guan Zhuofan said: "What I mean, first, our own writing skills can't be put down. Otherwise, when this class of children graduated from 'university', their mouths were full of English, but they couldn't write Chinese characters, and they couldn't read Chinese books, how could they get it? ”

"Second, those who come with us must be disciplined and taken care of. This 'discipline should be taken care of', discipline should be strict, and care should be meticulous, but it should be sparse and not blocked, and students should not really be put in cages. Otherwise, you can't see the real world, and you are thousands of miles away, so why did you come? ”

"Third, there must be three chapters of the law with the United States in advance. For example, we can't pull our students into teaching. ”

Libin was silent for a while, and said: "Lord Belle, let me tell you the truth, this thing you are going to do is really ...... Be a fool for one's pains. ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said, "What you said is right, it is indeed thankless." However, if this thing cannot be done, there is no big loss; If it is done, it will be the merit of the country and the benefit of the future! And, what does it mean to be successful? What does it mean to be impossible? I think that if we send 100 small 'international students' out, 50 of them will be truly used by the country, and it will be done! ”

"The other fifty people, some of whom may not be able to get out of the division; Some of them got a 'diploma', but they wore embroidered pillows, and some of them accidentally became Americans—so what? Let's send it to the United States! Well, let's just spend the money of these 100 people on the 50 people in front of me - Mr. Li, you calculate for me, is this business worth it or not? ”

The more Libin listened, the more his face stretched, and he said convincingly: "Lord Belle, in the end, you are far-sighted!" Okay, no matter how difficult this thing is, we have to do it! ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled again and said, "It's not 'difficult' yet!" Mr. Li, my idea is that there should be female students in this group of small 'international students'. ”

With the sentence "including female talents" in front of him, the word "female student" did not cause any accident in Libin, but listening to it with his own ears, he was still deeply shocked. He was silent for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Lord Belle, this is a situation that has not been seen in thousands of years!" ”

After a pause, he said with a solemn face: "That class of defenders, there is probably another topic to talk about." ”

Guan Zhuofan was indifferent and said, "Let them go!" If you want to be tough, I can probably beat them: in all dynasties and dynasties, women leading troops to fight are not unique things, so why can't they 'go to school' or even do things? In fact, at the moment, there are not many cases of women showing up to do things. It's just that most of the things I do are just sprinkling, cleaning, washing clothes, serving food and sending wine. ”

He took a sip of wine and continued: "This matter, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, especially the one on the 'west', I am sure that I will support it; ”

"I am among the 'international students', and I put a few female students in it, of course, for the future of the country, to cultivate female talents, but this is not the most urgent and urgent. More importantly, it is necessary to declare that the general trend of the world, Haohao soup, we Chinese women, can no longer go out of the door and step out of the second door! ”

Libin shook slightly.

Guan Zhuofan put down the wine glass, lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and said: "The British and the Dutch all started by running woolen factories, and we are bound to take this road." To run a textile factory, you need to invite a lot of workers; The work of the textile mill, which is done by women, is far more suitable than that of men. Wouldn't it be too ...... to keep a woman at home and do nothing Did you destroy the heavens? ”

This was something that Libin had never thought of. He frowned slightly, his mind turned hard, and he didn't immediately pick up Zhuo Fan's words.

Kwan continued: "The textile factory is just one example of what women can do, and there are many things that women need to do. The world has changed over time, and the difference between men and women has to be redivided! ”

Libin finally nodded and said, "When a woman comes out to do things, she can also help the family." ”

Guan Zhuofan said with great interest: "It's not just 'helping the family', when the time comes, it is not uncommon for women to support their families!" ”

Libin thought to himself: what does a woman do to raise a family, but what does a man do? Bringing kids at home?

However, he did not say this.

After pondering for a moment, he remembered something, and said hesitantly: "Lord Belle, there is an obstacle, I don't know if you have thought about it?" The woman with her feet wrapped is afraid that she can't do these things......"

Guan Zhuofan's index finger and middle finger were together, and he knocked heavily on the table, and his face had become a little hideous: "You are right-in the past thousand years, the most chaotic thing that Chinese have done is to force their women to bind their feet!" ”
