I believe it!

Listening to the words not far away, a young man in a suit said silently. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He believes that China may soon be able to build a giant ship, and he will never have the slightest doubt about this, and he will not have any doubts about the information brought by batches of students from China in the past few years.

Now Han Gong has sent thousands of students to Europe and the United States, and Chinese can be seen in universities in Britain, France, Prussia, the Netherlands and other places, where they are learning Western science and technology, culture, and will be introduced to China after returning to China. Many of them will become the backbone and elite of the industry. And domestic factories also need them.

Wang Minyun never doubted this, because he paid more attention to current affairs than those students - in the past five years, the Governor's Office had purchased more than 30 million taels worth of machines from Britain, the United States, France and other countries! This was what he had read in the newspapers – last month, at the end of 1857, the British newspaper Tayus had declared that the Wuchang government was Britain's most important trading partner, and that in the last year alone, it had purchased four million taels worth of machinery from Britain, plus more than fifteen million taels of other goods, and had become Britain's most important trading partner.

"There is no doubt that in the Far East, it is in the best interests of Britain to support the Wuchang government, who are more willing to deal with Britain in a Western way than the Qing Empire, and are willing to buy British machinery and cotton cloth...... Britain must make a choice for its future, whether it is Wuchang or Jingshi! ”

In fact, the UK has already made its choice!

Just as they were leaving Britain, Wang Minyun saw a newspaper report on the resolution of the British Parliament - a complete ban on arms sales to the Qing State. In fact, this is more of an attitude, after all, the closest partner of the Manchu Qing was the United States, and the "Battle of Guangzhou Bay" made the United States hostile to Wuchang, which was also an important reason for its support for the Manchus.

"Hey, this world......"

sighed Wang Minyun couldn't help but think of his own arrogance before he came to the West a few years ago, and even came to the West, the original purpose was just to "do what he liked", just as a "way to advance", just to gain the appreciation of the Han Gong, but after coming to the West, he knew what "there is a sky outside the sky".

It is precisely because of this that in the past nearly three years, he will be hungry to learn Western culture, he even gave up the opportunity to travel to various countries with the head of the delegation, and chose to study Western culture at Oxford University.

What is the foundation of Western power?

Wang has been exploring this question for the past few years, and now he thinks he has found the answer. Is that the answer just going to be recognized?

"Renqiu, it's almost home!"

Standing by Wang Minyun's side, Guo Songtao suddenly felt a little emotional.

"When I left China, I thought that I would be able to return to China in just a few months and inform the lord of the harvest of this trip, but now, after nearly three years of travel in Europe and the United States, now I think about it, it seems that there are still some regrets, and there is still a sense of wandering!"

"yes, it's too short, if...... Actually, sir, I think that international students should study in Europe and the United States for at least six years, in addition to studying in universities, if possible, they need to be allowed to work in Europe and the United States for a few years, and now those British factory owners want our people to stay there every day, after all, as long as our students do internships there, they will be able to get orders more or less. ”

Wang Minyun's words made Guo Songtao say with deep understanding.

"It's true that you can learn a lot of knowledge by studying in European and American schools, but the most advanced technology and science in Europe and the United States are in those factories, and they can learn a lot of knowledge there that they can't learn in the classroom!"

If it had been three years ago, Guo Songtao might not have thought there was anything noteworthy about this proposal, but now, he knows very well how pragmatic this proposal is.

"That's true, especially those students who study science and engineering, should not only learn theoretical knowledge in school, but also should go to factories, mines and other places to work and practice, and study while working and researching, so that when they return to China, they can stand alone in the country, and now, it is really a pity to let them return to China early......

Looking at the young people on the ship, thinking that many of them, the elders only had a one-year internship, and the shortest internship was only a few months, Guo Songtao even felt that he should really strive for another internship in Europe for another year or two.

"Sir, you did your best!"

Wang Minyun said bluntly.

"When you were in the United States, when you returned to the UK, they were ready to return to China, and now I am afraid that they are indeed needed in China.

It is very difficult to get domestic information in Europe, even Guo Songtao, who is the head of diplomacy, is in the dark, after all, it is too far away from China, and even the fastest ship has brought domestic news to Europe, and it has been a few months. Naturally, he was ignorant of the changes in the country.

Now the lord is in a hurry to summon himself back to China, what is it for? Guo Songtao's mind couldn't help sinking, but he was a little worried about the unknown future, what happened in China?

"Sir, there is one thing that the student does not understand!"

Noticing the change in Guo Songtao's expression, Wang Minyun hurriedly changed the topic and asked.

"Why are there these people on these ships?"

He pointed to the six or seven years old, eleven or twelve years old on the deck, these people were both boys and girls, but without exception, they were all Europeans, to be precise, European orphans, among them, both English and French, they were all street children, and now these street children were on this ship, looking at the sea with curious eyes, and the people on board, perhaps they themselves were confused.

Why are they here?

Wang Minyun also seemed a little curious, but he was just curious, especially about the identity of the gloomy young man.

"It's better for us not to know about this matter!"

Guo Songtao shook his head, if he said that in the governor's mansion, he learned something, that is, he learned what is the clear responsibility, and there are some things he doesn't need to ask, and he can't ask.

Although he did not ask how these European wanderers came from, he knew some answers - these street children were lured or kidnapped on the streets by the company through gangs in London, Paris and other places, which happened from time to time three years ago, and is not prohibited now.

If it is a Chinese who is kidnapped, as a diplomatic officer, he will naturally not turn a blind eye, but these people are foreigners after all, even if they are frozen to death on the streets, for the British, the French, there is no big deal, there are too many such street children on the streets of the two countries, they have been kidnapped, for them personally, it is a good thing, at least here they can eat enough, not to starve.

"There are some things that we don't need to know and don't need to know......"

Guo Songtao's reminder made Wang Minyun smile helplessly, and then he still turned his eyes to the foreign teenagers on the side of the boat, it is undeniable that now those teenagers have undergone completely different changes compared to when they first got on the boat, when they first got on the boat, they were all full of dishes, and when they looked at others, their eyes were vigilant, revealing the unique cunning of beggars, and now, without exception, they were all ruddy, and at the same time as the smile became more, the vigilance and cunning in the eyes were slowly fading.

"Hello, my name is Shi Yun!"

"My name is Marin"

Listening to those strange words, Wang Minyun smiled and shook his head, a considerable number of these children are now actively learning Chinese, as if they already know where they are going.

"Mr. Yu, we're going to China, right?"

Again, Millie looked at Mr. Yu, who was silent in thought, and asked in stiff Chinese, compared to others, her language talent is extremely high, but in just two months, she has learned a lot of Chinese from that beautiful sister.

"That's right, Millie, would you like to go to China?"

Yu Chengze looked at this girl with blue eyes as blue as the sea, and she also had beautiful blonde hair, this girl he found in Paris - she was a child prostitute in a brothel at that time, why did she choose her in the first place?

Well!

It was because she was very beautiful, and especially of temperament, and although her clothes were shabby, her temperament was so outstanding that she was so noticeable among that group of prostitutes. No one can ignore her presence.

"If you don't have to starve there, you don't have to be beaten, like now...... Who would say no? ”

Although she was only twelve years old, when the precocious Millie said this, she also understood that there was no such good thing in the world.

"Well, there, no one will starve, but when you get there, you have to learn, you have to ...... yourself"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Yu Chengze smiled.

"Think of yourself as a princess, if you behave in a way that doesn't conform to the princess or the young lady, of course you will be punished!"

"Princess? Mr. Yu, how is this possible? ”

"How is it not possible? Maybe in a few years, when you leave there, no one will doubt that you are a rich lady, believe me, when you get to China, you will know that it is like paradise compared to Paris! ”

Heaven!

Is China a paradise?

Millie doesn't know it, but for Narizawa, it's heaven!

Return!

Yu Chengze, who was on the ship, stared into the distance with his eyes, and at this time, he longed to be able to return to China immediately and return to his long-lost home......
