Seeing Hongfeng and Caifeng enter the carriage, Ye Zhao was stunned for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses until Caifeng came over to say hello in surprise.

Ye Zhao had already thought very clearly when he said goodbye in Milan, no matter what, now that he is an old man in his eighties, he can't really regard Hongfeng and Caifeng as matchmakers and Jinfeng, but he is a little closer to them, how could the father of the two little girls not pay attention to his eyes at that time? Therefore, whether it is Hongfeng Caifeng or Hongniang Jinfeng, it is better to let go as soon as possible, just think that you have a dream, and you can know that they are doing well, and you are already satisfied.

But I didn't expect that on the train back to China, I would meet them again, is this providence? For Ye Zhao, who has experienced rebirth, he naturally believes in the providence of the underworld, and even more in the theory of the divine power of ghosts.

"Uncle, we've been looking for you for a long time, why didn't you say hello to us when you left Milan?" After Caifeng screamed in surprise, she jumped to Ye Zhao's side, chattering and asking questions.

Although Hongfeng is young, she is much quieter, but she said lightly: "My father is very annoyed, and I feel that I have neglected my uncle." The joy in her eyes flashed, and she was obviously a little happy to meet Ye Zhao again.

Ye Zhao smiled: "It's the two of you again, won't you sneak back to China without telling your father?" ”

Caifeng said: "No, Uncle thinks that the two of us are too rebellious, right?" It's that I'm disobedient, but my sister is a good boy. ”

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded.

Hongfeng had already walked over, and Si Swenwen asked Hideo Gangmura to change his bed. She is good at the bunk bed in the same bed as her sister. Hideo Gangmura was also very unpleasant to the Polish merchant, but at the request of such a beautiful little beauty, he couldn't refute it, pinched his nose and went to the Polish merchant's upper bunk.

Hongfeng scooped out blankets and sheets from the delicate little suitcase she carried with her and laid out the bed for her and her sister, although she only sat all the way, at most she only lay down in her clothes, but for well-educated Oriental families, girls still follow some traditions, such as not touching the daily necessities used by strangers. Although theoretically, the bedding in the sleeper compartment has just been disinfected and cleaned.

In fact, the box of the Oriental passenger train still follows the principle of separate rooms for men and women as much as possible, but the tickets are sold until a later period, and there are opposite-sex couples who declare to buy the same box. So there will always be a mix of men and women, and this is the case with Red Phoenix and Cai Feng.

Hongfeng and Caifeng's bunks are opposite Ye Zhao, Caifeng and other sisters made a bed for them and sat on the lower bunk, asking her sister to go to the upper bunk when she was resting, the little sisters have very different personalities, Caifeng is rebellious and lazy, always moving out of her sister's identity to oppress people, and it seems that she has been bullying her sister, but in fact, in Ye Zhao's opinion, it is this sister who takes care of her sister all the way.

Caifeng sat down and unzipped the small red suitcase. Feel out a bunch of cosmetics, use a small mirror to carefully look around, even the back of the head, to see if your makeup needs to be repaired, delicate hairstyle messy.

The snow-white elastic one-piece miniskirt tightly wrapped around her sexy little body, and it was really irresistible to see her small waist twisting around, although Caifeng was young, her gestures had already exuded an unstoppable temptation.

Ye Zhao coughed dryly and turned his head, only to see that Hongfeng had started to make a bunch of cosmetics on his sister's bed again.

Hongfeng wore an elegant pink retro-style dress. The skirt is intricately cut, from the elegant bow tie to the chest with a row of shiny silver buckles, like a well-worn shirt, and the cuffs of the skirt are trimmed with red roses and the waist is extremely tight. The girl's slender waist curve can be seen at a glance, and only Hongfeng's figure can wear a taste that is better than that of a model. Coupled with the pair of brown leather boots that reached almost to the knee, it made it more tough and heroic in its elegance.

Ye Zhao smiled and asked Hongfeng, "Is the high school course difficult?" "I don't know why, I feel a little weak when I talk to Hongfeng, maybe it's because I owe Hongfeng too much in this life, and subconsciously, I have regarded Hongfeng as a matchmaker. …,

"It's okay." Hongfeng finally sat down, and scooped the blanket to cover Caifeng's legs, perhaps because she noticed that the red-nosed Pole was always staring at Caifeng's snow-white and smooth eyes.

Caifeng carefully touched up her eyeshadow makeup, and said, "Hongfeng's first place in the entrance exam, it's really worthy of my sister." ”

Hongfeng glanced at her sister helplessly, looking a little speechless.

The empire implements a nine-year compulsory education system, after nine years of compulsory education, you can enter a higher school to enter a university for further study, or you can enter a secondary professional school to receive vocational training, and the empire has a large number of professional schools everywhere, and the private school is also the most enthusiastic about investing in secondary professional schools, the entry threshold is low, and because investment education has high tax exemption and other rights and interests, it is often a good investment industry that has won a good reputation and guaranteed income in drought and flood.

Enrolled at the age of seven, Hongfeng and Caifeng graduated from junior high school at the end of last year, Caifeng has no ambitions, casually studied a vocational school, studied clothing design, in fact, is a tailor, Hongfeng is very strong, grades have been excellent, since he is ready to go to university, now studying in Shanghai No. 29 Middle School.

The imperial education system, Ye Zhao has always been personally guided, especially for primary education, that is, after the abdication, the Imperial Ministry of Education revised the primary school textbooks, Ye Zhao also participated in the whole process, after the war in the 80s of the last century, Ye Zhao's articles published in the newspaper talked about education the most.

Imperial education is still exam-oriented education in the strict sense of the word, and the textbooks used by Chinese students of the same age are much more profound than those of European and American students, and European and American children who come to China simply cannot keep up with the curriculum of the same grade.

However, imperial education is completely different from traditional education, in improving children's learning initiative, creativity gradually formed a set of mature models, from the first grade of primary school, many courses have to participate in their own hands, to the fifth or sixth grade of primary school, you may be required to write "Chinese culture" such a big title "thesis", how to write, there is no certain rule, naturally it is necessary to read a large number of books from the library to complete, so that it is easier to make children interested in understanding the history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years than rote memorization.

Taking Chinese as an example, whether it is ancient or modern, students mainly appreciate it. There is no rote memorization. Without the translation of Chinese texts, everything is focused on making students literate and improving their cultural accomplishment.

The primary nature education class starts with the protection of small animals, the middle school physics class, and the homework left to the students may be the layout of the urban lighting system, a municipal research project.

As an elementary school student, you may also be asked "If you were a senior adviser to Prime Minister Kang Youwei, would you have used bombers and gasoline napalm in the Suez Canal crisis in 1913?" ”

From childhood, he learned to pay attention to the fate of man and the natural world, to understand the cruelty of war, and to think about the culture and values of empires in this dialectical thinking that there is no absolute right or wrong.

The empire did not have a curriculum of patriotic education, but imperceptibly. The pride and pride of the people in all aspects of the imperial system, culture and so on cannot be instilled, for example, Qingming Festival at a ceremony to mourn relatives in an elementary school. One of the children and parents who died while peacekeeping overseas won the most applause, and the teacher led all the children to pay tribute to "their loved ones who have sacrificed for our freedom and safety", and the country, honor, bravery and freedom are part of the soul of the nation in daily life.

However, looking at the lazy Caifeng, Ye Zhao had to wonder if the empire's relatively loose education system had greatly increased the chance of Caifeng eating rice worms waiting to die.

……

There was nothing to do all the way, and after arriving in Warsaw, the Polish businessman got off the bus, and soon someone made up a soft sleeper ticket and came to the box where Ye Zhao was, a Chinese diplomat and deputy head of the financial audit team of the Imperial Permanent Mission to the League of Nations. Responsible for the meetings of the Administrative and Budgetary Committee and the Programme and Coordination Committee of the League of Nations and the payment of League of Nations assessments. …,

It stands to reason that this diplomat surnamed Qu naturally belongs to a high-ranking diplomatic administrative staff, and the signature in his hand involves hundreds of millions of dollars in the funds of the League of Nations, but now that he has returned from Warsaw, he has come alone to take the train, and even the soft sleeper ticket has to be paid a little out of his own pocket to make up for it, which is quite inferior to the treatment of the sick League of Nations peacekeepers.

However, Imperial civil servants fall into the category of high salaries, and according to Imperial law, the average salary of civil servants can be 20% higher than the average salary of private enterprises, within the civil service. The salary is divided into 20 and 170 grades, and the employees who have just entered the civil service sequence are divided into salary levels according to their academic qualifications, and the most common salary level promoted in the future is the seniority promotion, such as below the 9th grade, and the monthly promotion is one level. Above grade 10, they will be promoted by one level every two months. In addition, there is also a special audit body for salary promotion, which is usually composed of temporary non-governmental personnel, and is dissolved after the evaluation hearing of the public servants in the region (department).

As for senior civil servants above the fifth grade, their salaries are planned separately, and they are two different concepts from ordinary civil servants, although ordinary civil servants can also be dismissed, unlike senior civil servants such as the elected prime minister and his appointed cabinet ministers, many ordinary civil servants can work diligently for a lifetime.

Although the salaries of imperial civil servants are higher than those of European and American civil servants, they are by no means the same as the envy of everyone in the past.

In fact, imperial civil servants do not specifically refer to officials or government administrators, such as urban cleaners, who also belong to the employees employed by the government, and also belong to the category of civil servants, administrative officials and cleaners employed by the health department belong to the same group in the imperial law, and implement the same salary standards, of course, because of academic qualifications and other relationships, in a general sense, under the same length of service, it must be that the salaries of employees in the administrative department are higher.

The diplomat surnamed Qu, who is in his 40s, said in a casual conversation with Hideo Gangmura that he has been working in the diplomatic system, and that his monthly salary should be around 800 yuan because of his age and the fact that he has been in the civil service, and that the diplomatic system has additional subsidies.

After the founding of the empire, the empire had depreciated the correspondence between silver and prices in the early stage with the help of great economic development and large printing money, so that the purchasing power of the currency of the same silver in China was slightly stronger than that of Britain, rather than far ahead of Britain before, which not only made Chinese goods have a certain price advantage when exporting, but also greatly increased the country's financial strength under the gold and silver standard.

Since the implementation of the gold standard in the empire, prices have been very stable for more than 30 years, showing an extremely slow upward trend, the annual salary of nearly 10,000 yuan is extremely generous, of course, now the empire's middle class or wealthy class pursues a life that is very different from before, telephones, televisions and even cars have gradually entered the civilian family, that is, the salary level of diplomats, I am afraid that I will not be able to save a few dollars, because although the absolute purchasing power increases with the increase in wages, but there are more and more things to consume and enjoy, Every popularization of new technology stimulates a new wave of consumption.

On the whole, there was no backlog of private savings, and the working class had a strong spending power and willingness to spend, and the empire's economy was extremely healthy.

Along the way, Hideo Qu chatted with Hideo Gangmura about the situation in Algeria, Hideo Gangmura was extremely excited to get close to the Chinese diplomat, and he didn't know what to talk about several times and stood up and saluted, Diplomat Qu smiled and told him to sit down, the peacekeeping force belongs to the command of the League of Nations, and Diplomat Qu is a member of the Administrative and Budget Committee of the League of Nations, from a certain point of view, Hideo Gangmura is not wrong to think that Diplomat Qu is his superior.

Hongfeng read quietly, Caifeng and Ye Zhao played cards "believe it or not", only playing in the dark, although Ye Zhao let her, but Caifeng naturally lost more and won less, in this world, I am afraid that there is no second person who can be more scheming than Ye Zhao. …,

When the train arrived at Minsk Station, it was already dark outside, Hongfeng was sleeping in a blanket and clothes, and Caifeng, who was scooping cards, also began to doze off, Ye Zhao urged her several times, but she refused to rest.

Eastern Passenger Transport signed a cooperation agreement with the Belolusians, which allowed them to stop and resupply in Minsk, the capital of Belolusia (Belarus), which became independent after the Great War and was in the middle of Poland, the Russian kingdom and the Urals.

The strange thing is that the train stopped for half an hour and did not start, and then the radio in the car suddenly sizzled, and the sweet voice of the female announcer of the train came: "Passengers and friends, because of a small fault in the train, it cannot be started temporarily, our technicians are urgently troubleshooting, for the sake of your safety, please stay in your seats, our crew apologizes for the inconvenience." After the Chinese broadcast was finished, the announcer broadcast again in German and Russian.

When the radio was being broadcast, there was a gentle knock on the box door, Cai Baojun went to open the door, whispered to people for a while, and came back and whispered in Ye Zhao's ear: "It is a rebel group in Belolusia that occupies the station, they want to take our passengers on the train as hostages and negotiate with our government, and ask our government to put pressure on the Belolusia government and release their key members who were arrested by the government army, I heard that there are more than 300 opposition members who they ask the government to release, Among them was the rebel number two, who had just been arrested by the Belolusian security services. ”

Ye Zhao smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "He really treats us Chinese as treasures, strange goods can live, right?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
