The last time I met with the Chinese representatives in the Netherlands, what they mentioned the most was the problem of the talent pool in this country that has not yet been established.

Although the country currently needs the strength of the Dutch to be formed, although the country will be controlled and influenced by the Dutch in various ways in the future. However, it is absolutely urgent to cultivate your own talents.

Because the country wants to be independent, it cannot be achieved by shouting slogans alone, and it is necessary to systematically cultivate a reserve of follow-up management talents.

In terms of military and diplomacy, the Dutch would not allow Zhou Nan to intervene. They only wanted to use Zhou Nan to win over the Chinese and make the Chinese support the status of the Dutch suzerainty, but they never wanted to raise tigers.

How to win over the Chinese? How to maintain your position? In addition to military and diplomatic, then there is only domestic affairs and the economy.

In terms of economy, the Chinese in Southeast Asia have a unique advantage, which even the Jews cannot compare.

Because the Chinese throughout Southeast Asia are based on the development of the family system of business. From the Ming Dynasty, the development of the Chinese in Southeast Asia was based on the commercial agency of the Dutch, and the Dutch also controlled the economy of the East Indies through the Chinese.

For the past 400 years, the East Indies have been governed by the Dutch and Indians, and then through the Chinese and Indians, the East Indies.

This stable architecture has been in operation for more than 400 years and has never changed. It is also to maintain this stable structure, whenever the power of the Chinese develops to a certain extent and affects the rule of the Dutch, that is, when the Dutch kill the Chinese and shear sheep.

Therefore, the Chinese in Southeast Asia, in their blood are a group of businessmen living in the cracks, and in terms of business, Zhou Nan has never worried about their ability.

Then, the direction that Zhou Nan can start with has become internal affairs.

In fact, what the Chinese in Southeast Asia need most is someone who can show the way to the future.

After struggling for hundreds of years, several countries and companies formed by the Chinese were destroyed, but now the opportunity has fallen on their heads, and most of the Chinese are still terrified.

They can't see the path of the future clearly, and they lack a rational and clear understanding of the future as a whole.

In the East Indies, the Dutch sent a discipline regiment of more than 1,000 men to help the Chinese build up their own army. In addition, 300 free training places are given to Chinese in Southeast Asia every year, so that Chinese can go to universities in the Netherlands to receive various education.

But most of these are science, engineering and business education, and this project will not be carried out until the establishment of the Chinese state.

Now no one knows when this country will be built, and if you want to build your own country, you must first have a group of experts who are proficient in politics and humanities in order to set the right direction for this emerging country.

The Dutch cannot be counted on this. Because although they do have the intention of helping the Chinese, it is only for their own interests, and it is also for the Chinese to help them contain the natives.

They are willing to train the Chinese to be merchants and soldiers, but they do not want the Chinese to really rise and influence their rule.

However, now that there is one more Zhou Nan, no one can know better than Zhou Nan in terms of understanding the world. Therefore, before the other students were arranged to Europe, Zhou Nan had already discussed with the Chinese people and arranged for a group of people to come to Europe to conduct research on the political systems of European countries.

Although they must now establish a commercial state according to the will of the Netherlands and recognize the suzerainty of the Netherlands, it does not mean that everything in the country must follow the Dutch.

Military and diplomatic affairs can be managed by the Dutch first, but how to manage the country still depends on the Chinese themselves. After all, this country has the independent and autonomous powers that a sovereign state should have.

In addition to the group of Chinese who went to Europe for research and investigation, everyone also proposed to let Zhou Nan help train a group of students.

Zhou Nan thought about it and agreed.

However, teaching students in your own home is definitely not the right choice, it is not feasible to do it behind closed doors, and it will also make others think differently.

So Zhou Nan found the University of Lucerne at the cost of being a lecturer in exchange for the University of Lucerne accepting this group of Chinese students and teaching publicly.

The University of Bern is willing to give Zhou Nan the title of visiting professor, not to mention the University of Lucerne, which offers better conditions.

Although Zhou Nan insisted on refusing to hold a public office at the university, they still gave Zhou Nan the position of honorary dean of the Faculty of Humanities. Zhou Nan is required to teach at least 20 hours of lectures at the University of Lucerne each semester.

Twenty class hours is equivalent to more than one class a week, but because Zhou Nan has a public office and entertainment in all aspects, the University of Lucerne does not limit Zhou Nan's teaching time, as long as Zhou Nan can complete the teaching of **** subjects.

Of course, Zhou Nan is also willing to become a professor at the university, and in fact, this is the main means by which today's scholars expand their influence.

But he was too busy to delay his creation because of the lectures. After some negotiation with them, it was decided that there would be 16 classes per semester, which is equivalent to one class hour per week.

After only chatting briefly with these young Chinese for half an hour, Zhou Nan asked them to go back first, bring everyone to the house at noon tomorrow, and then send them away.

Having sent them to the docks, Glevin sailed them back to Lucerne, and Zhou Nan let out a long sigh and felt exhausted.

On this day, he sat in the car all day, and when he came back, he kept socializing, and he was really tired.

A cool breeze blows on the surface of the lake, lights are lit in the distance, and the peninsula is immersed in silence in the distance. A row of street lamps from the pier to the main house adds a touch of popularity.

Looking at the yellow lights in the main house, Zhou Nan's heart swelled with a trace of warmth.

The guests were gone, and Caroline, Kelly, and Audrey all went downstairs to help clean up the small living room.

Caroline lifted a garbage bag to the door and put it down, and saw Zhou Nan coming back alone, feeling a trace of pity in her heart.

When Zhou Nan came closer, she greeted her, stroked Zhou Nan's face and said, "My Jonas, there are too many burdens on you, and you make me feel very distressed like this." ”

"Mom, I'm willing to do these things, which makes me more able to find the meaning of my existence."

"You men, your heart is too big, and you want to put everything in it. But seeing you so tired, you made my mother feel sad. We've just arrived home today, and you won't be free for a moment. ”

Zhou Nan laughed and comforted her: "It's okay, there will be fewer things in a few days, and it's because I've been away from home for a month that there are so many things." ”

The two returned to the house, where they happened to run into Claudio and steal a piece of cream cake. Caroline counted her down again. "Claudie, you're just a kid who doesn't grow up, you see you're already so fat, do you want to be an elephant in the future!"

"Mom, just eat the last piece, I haven't had a snack in a long time."

Zhou Nan couldn't help laughing, this sister is really a child who doesn't grow up, although she has become a mother, her personality has not changed at all.

Caroline's mouth opened, but she didn't say anything more. Although the conditions of their family are good, all the supplies in Germany are lacking. There is no shortage of food and meat at home, but there is no place to buy snacks if you have money.

Lily also ate too much tonight, and was still complaining about stomach aches before going to bed.

"Audrey, let's clean up the rest, you go and put water on Jonas to bathe, let's all go to bed early today."

Kelly smiled: "Caroline, you go to sleep too, you're tired after a day of driving." ”

If Caroline is not there, Audrey at this time may be coquettish again, either tired or hungry. But at this time, she is just pretending, and she also wants to be a good daughter-in-law.

After releasing water for Zhou Nan, she was busy going downstairs to work again. Zhou Nan took off half of her clothes, and when she saw that she was going to run, she hurriedly called her: "Didn't you say let us sleep, where are you going?" ”

"How can I let my mother work where and be lazy on her own? Wash it up and wait for me on the bed. ”

Without waiting for Zhou Nan to object, she disappeared, and Zhou Nan muttered that she slipped into the bathtub.

The bathtub at home is Zhou Nan's favorite, and it comes from an off-white and cyan marble rough from Verona, Italy, in the eastern foothills of the Alps.

This rough stone originally weighed five or six tons, but after being hollowed out, it still weighed more than a ton, which could easily accommodate two people to take a bath together.

When it is not filled with water, this piece of marble is already very beautiful, and the cyan stripes are like weeping willows swaying in the wind under the main color of beige.

The weather was no longer cold, Zhou Nan was lying in the bathtub, his hands on his sides, still thinking about what he should say when he met those young Chinese people tomorrow.

The establishment of a political system and a sound constitution require the joint efforts of all.

Chinese civilization should not be abandoned, but should be carried forward. But how to retain one's own traditional culture under the management of the West, all this still needs struggle and efforts.

Only when everyone recognizes the Chinese of square characters, believes in their own civilization, and respects their ancestors, is a true Chinese.

Zhou Nan did not want a completely Westernized Chinese state to appear in the East Indies, and if that was the case, then his efforts would be completely meaningless.

And in order to make these young Chinese people fully accept his ideas, Zhou Nan also needs to prepare well and systematically make everyone accept his ideas.

In this regard, Zhou Nan is still confident. Because the Chinese of this era, in fact, still very much identify with Chinese civilization, have their own Chinese schools in the East Indies, have a warm passion to help compatriots on the mainland, and even retain traditional clothing, complete traditional cultural inheritance.

But then, that all changed......
