First of all, the management of studying abroad -- the "general office" and "assistant office" of the "Bureau of Overseas Studies" -- must unify their thinking -- they must uphold the same "school-running policy" before going out, instead of slowly running in after going out. Dissenters, no matter how capable they are, will not be given a chance to meddle in this matter.

That is to say, in this time and space, Rong Hong and his ilk are not allowed to touch young international students.

Externally, dealing directly with the U.S. government; Internally, Libin was in charge -- Guan Zhuofan had already explained this last time when Libin accompanied Lacruz, the general manager-designate of the "Citigroup Mining Company of South Africa," to Tianjin.

Second, there is the issue of religious belief.

Guan Zhuofan told the Americans that the Chinese government respects freedom of religious belief, but China's current national conditions, well, you know, if young students convert to foreign religions, they will inevitably lose the trust of the top government -- "top government officials", well, I'm not alone. In this way, it will endanger or even destroy the entire plan for young students. This kind of thing of "lifting a stone and shooting oneself in the foot" because of a small mistake must not be done.

The Americans admitted that what Guan Zhuofan said was reasonable, and although they were reluctant, at Guan Zhuofan's insistence, they still agreed to write this article into the "memorandum," promising not to engage in any form of religious indoctrination among young students, and agreed that if it was discovered that young students had converted to foreign religions, the Chinese Government would immediately recall them, and the US Government would not object.

Again, it's a matter of accommodation.

Guan Zhuofan believes that when he first arrives in the United States, it is still necessary to disperse young students to live in local homes -- this is an irreplaceable role for young students to cross the language barrier. However, the person in charge of the reception. Choose carefully - in the final analysis, it is a matter of religion. Not all Americans are religious. Religious believers are not all fanatics. You can always find the right people - people who are not religious, or who are religious, but who are gentle and dismissive of "preaching the gospel of the Lord."

On Sundays, young students are gathered to learn Chinese, or to do group activities such as hiking and outings - so that the hosts do not have the opportunity to take them to church.

In advance, it is necessary to do enough "national education" for young students and those who are responsible for receiving them. Needless to say, the little international students are on the host's side. At least teach them to understand that, in addition to not being able to "spread the gospel of the Lord" at will, it is not appropriate to hold the children from China as soon as they meet.

After crossing the language barrier, it will be changed to centralized accommodation.

Adapt the "secondary" curriculum appropriately and come up with ways to make it more interesting and lively - at least in form. In this way, compared with "Western learning", it will not make young international students feel too big a gap. It will not produce a rebellious mentality, and there will be a situation where the children who stayed in the United States in the original time and space "dislike Confucianism".

Guan Zhuofan plans to put a little effort into this. Perhaps, we can use the "middle school" education of elementary school students as a breakthrough to find a way to carry out the "education reform" that can be carried out in China.

The meaning is heavy dà, and the meaning is heavy dà.

In this way, this little international student plan should not die halfway like the original time and space, but can always be done.

Guan Zhuofan did not rule out that the young international student program would encounter difficulties and troubles that could not be estimated at the moment and had not been described in the original time and space, but he was willing to accept this challenge.

Later historians have disputed the necessity of the "Young Children in the United States" program, mainly because they feel that the cost is too large and the results are too slow.

Guan Zhuofan believes that similar plans are certainly unnecessary in the 21 st century. But this is the middle of the nineteenth century, although China has barely opened its eyes, but it is still blurry and hazy, with a huge body, still bloated and tired, so this plan is absolutely necessary.

In China in this era, the most open-minded people and the most outstanding talents, such as Guo Songtao and Li Hongzhang, have not received the most basic modern scientific and cultural education, and their thinking and behavior patterns still have structural defects compared with the industrialization and modernization that China is urgently seeking at present, and it is almost impossible to make up for it.

A blank piece of paper is good for drawing, and when they return to China, they will be the first batch of talents in China who do not have such structural defects as zài - how can it be said that it is too expensive to buy one for 10,000 taels of silver?

Also, fifteen years sounds a little longer, but from a historical perspective, fifteen years later, China is still in the "primary stage" of industrialization and modernization.

In addition, the small international student program has a strong propaganda role in politics, and can forcibly draw people's attention out of the country -- in this regard, the effect of the same international students and minor international students is far greater than that of adult international students.

Teenage children can go to foreign lands, and their flesh and blood will be separated for fifteen years, what else can not be allowed to enter and leave the country? What else should never be changed?

Therefore, although it is difficult and the investment is large, it is definitely worth a try.

Now that all the investments have been invested, in order to further improve the "output", Guan Zhuofan plans to add a little more "difficulty" to the plan for young international students.

Bai thought he had misheard: "You mean...... Send Xiao Yun ...... Go to the ...... of America Study? ”

Guan Zhuofan nodded solemnly: "Yes." ”

Bai's eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly.

This look can be called "stammering".

Guan Zhuofan has rarely seen the Bai family like this, and said secretly in his heart: It doesn't seem to be very good.

After half a ring, Bai still maintained this expression, Guan Zhuofan couldn't help it, and shouted softly: "Shuangshuang!" ”

"Ah......h

Bai came back to his senses, blinked his eyes several times, and smiled reluctantly: "You...... You're kidding, right? ”

"I'm not joking, I'm serious." Guan Zhuofan said, "However, this is not my decision, I am ...... I'll talk to you. ”

Bai Shi said blankly: "But, but, Xiao Yun...... It's a girl! ”

"Uh--it's because Xiao Yun is a girl."

After a pause, Guan Zhuofan said: "Shuangshuang, I just told you that the future world will probably be more brilliant than what is sung in the play!" It is not uncommon for women to be officials, lead soldiers, or even become prime ministers-these words are not a joke. ”

"You want Xiao Yun...... Future...... Going out to do things? ”

"Yes!"

Bai was stunned again.

"Shuangshuang!"

"Ah...... I, I don't understand, women, shouldn't they stay at home and take care of ...... This home? ”

Guan Zhuofan stretched out his hand and held Bai's hand, and Bai trembled slightly.

"Yes, you're right," Guan Zhuofan said softly, "This 'home' is all taken care of by women. However, women can't all stay at home. ”

Bai Shi looked at Guan Zhuofan, the expression on his face was chaotic and dazed.

"The way of the world in the future will be truly different from before. Factories, banks, telegraphs, postal routes, schools...... There are more than 10 times more things to do than before! Men alone—"

Guan Zhuofan shook his head gently: "I can't finish it." Therefore, women also have to come out and do things. ”

Bai opened her mouth, but didn't say anything—she didn't know how to pick it up.

"Shuangshuang, do you remember," Guan Zhuofan said, "the edict that strictly forbids the banner man to wrap his feet?" ”

"It is strictly forbidden for the flag man to bind his feet...... Ah, remember. ”

"Let me tell you, this edict is 'pointing at Sang and scolding Huai' -- pointing at the banner people and scolding them on the surface, but in fact it is for the Han people. After this foundation, next, it is forbidden to wrap feet regardless of the flag and men! ”

"Yo!" Bai Shi exclaimed softly, "This, I'm afraid it's ...... Not easy, right? ”

When it comes to the word "not easy", it has brought out a worried tone. Although her mind is in chaos now, once the matter involves Guan Zhuofan, she is still extremely sensitive and instinctively worried about him.

Guan Zhuofan was moved in his heart, held the Bai pair of Rouyi in his hands, and said, "It's not easy!" However, no matter how hard it is, it has to be done! The woman who has wrapped her feet is actually half a wasted person, and the road is not good, how can she come out to do things? ”

"Ah, for this ......"

"If you want to do big things, you must study." Guan Zhuofan said in a warm tone, "I think, let's take the lead - Xiao Yun goes abroad to study, which can tell the world: women can read and do things!" ”
