This is the fifth meeting between China and the Netherlands.

The two sides of the tongue clash, you come and go.

Huang Zunxian's head hurt, and he said to Count Oyer: "Huang is really busy. The system is closed, and you can't always meet with Mr. Earl, and the next time we meet, both parties should sign it. The goods are dead on the ground, Ma Chengang is now surnamed Qin, Mr. Earl, what are you going to do with the law? I'm going to follow the big Qin!

China has always maintained the peace of East Asia, and it has always been humble and respectful. Count Oyer, your intentions. What the hell is it? ”

There seemed to be a sense of impatience in Huang Zunxian's words, but his face was very calm.

A flash of light flashed in the corner of Oyer's eye. The opponent is impatient! According to the negotiation skills of the West, such an opponent is easy to deal with.

"The Port of Malchen is now indeed under your de facto control. However, in the face of fair and just international conventions, the port of Malchen belongs to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It's like the Taiping army in Siam, northern Burma. They occupy the lands of Siam and Burma, but these lands belong to the Kingdom of Siam and the Kingdom of Burma.

It's like you China, where the land north and west of Tuschi is actually controlled by the Russians. Do you think that those places should be governed by the Russians as a matter of course? In terms of public international law, did those lands belong to the Russians, not to China? ”

Oyer's rhetoric is very sharp. He brought up the example of the Taiping Army, Huang Zunxian can not care, and even feel proud in his heart. Who doesn't know that the Taiping Army is now following orders from Beijing. But when he moved out of Tuschi, an international convention is really an international convention to be obeyed!

But if Huang Zunxian can't even withstand this attack, his cheekiness will make him unable to become a diplomat.

Huang Zunxian shook his head and smiled. "Count Oyer has a sharp tongue. It's a pity that this can't be turned into a gun battleship. Count Oyer still thinks about it seriously, my Great Qin's patience with the outside world is limited. Turning around the conversation is the result of the above words. There was also a threat.

Count Oyer's whole body stiffened, and he stood up with a blushing face.

Liu Xian learned about the entire negotiation process in detail in the palace. He smiled disapprovingly. Threat? If there is no threat in the negotiation, is it still a negotiation? There is no threat to the children at home.

"Go on. Jump for me! ”

Dunhuang has been unsealed for so many years. Dunhuang music and dance have only been choreographed today. When Liu Xian was in his previous life, he felt that Dunhuang music and dance were beautiful. The gesture is beautiful, and there is a sense of seduction and holiness intertwined. Isn't it purely Dunhuang dance clothes......

At this point, it looks more visually striking. Moreover, today's Dunhuang music and dance choreography is very long, not the same as in the TV in the previous life, a program is only a few minutes.

It's just that in line with the word 'restoration', the Dunhuang dance costumes in this life are also quite that, Liu Xian didn't plan to put Dunhuang music and dance in the drama theater, and it is estimated that today's China can't accept it. Even the most conservative dancers!

"I am absolute, and now the imperial court should pay more attention to the domestic situation." Night. A group of cabinet officials came to meet Liu Xian. Liu Xian threw out a stack of newspapers. These newspapers come from all over the world, including large newspapers, small newspapers, and medium newspapers, and they are of different grades. But the headlines on the front pages and articles of these newspapers all reveal one meaning - the theory that reading materials are useless!

The newspapers compared the salaries of grassroots civil servants with those of high-paying occupations such as mechanics, doctors, and lawyers, who received much more wealth than grassroots civil servants. Then he analyzed the bad mix of the current Xinqin officialdom, before some people said that whoever is young will be successful in the officialdom, except for the special time period of quelling the rebellion and starting a war, in other peaceful years, it is the existence of a high position above the fourth rank under the age of thirty. But what about the promising young people in the current officialdom. If you can be a parent at the age of 30, you will be a great talent!

According to the analysis of the article, with the consolidation of the new dynasty, the longer the time, the more the 'rules' of officialdom will be fixed. Twenty years later. I'm afraid it's forty prefects, fifty prefects, and sixty governors. It's the routine of officialdom!

Whoever can be thirty years old will be the county governor, and the forty-year-old prefect. Around fifty became provincial ministers, and the throne of the cabinet was prepared for these people.

So. It's useless to read 'books'. Imprisoned in the field, it is better to find another way.

His subordinates sent these newspapers, and Liu Xian read them and agreed with some of them. But the argument that 'reading is useless' is absolutely unacceptable.

The fact that these newspapers made headlines with this argument can only show that in China, and in China today, many people still associate reading with being an official. Aren't doctors, mechanics, lawyers, and so on also read books?

Liu Xian told his subordinates what he meant. In particular, the Ministry of Culture and Education, which is in charge of the General Administration of Press and Publication, has not yet set off any public opinion in these newspapers, but it is still necessary to heighten vigilance.

China's new-style education is being promoted, and whoever wants to be a moth, Liu Xian's subordinates have no mercy.

Returning to the mansion at night, Fan Debang pinched his eyebrows. I'm old, and I'm really slacking off. The emperor knew the news, and he was stunned to let it go. I called the only youngest son who was still at home to do his filial piety, and asked about the argument that 'reading is useless', but the youngest son didn't know.

Fan Debang instructed: "You will go and find a commoner in the city and a peasant outside the city." Ask them for the Father. ”

"The things mentioned by the emperor, no matter how small, must be handled as a big and important matter. Besides, this limelight is contrary to the court! ”

"My son understands." The youngest son solemnly agreed, and in the morning of the next day, he found five low-level people from Beijing and the farms outside the city, all of whom were still forty or fifty years old.

"In recent years, the imperial court has built water conservancy and reduced agricultural taxes, and God has taken care of it, and a few more buckets of grain have been collected in the fields. It also happened that Long Live Lord Shengming opened a factory, and Xiao Lao'er's two sons both worked in the factory, and the wages were also a lot. We, the little people, have a much more relaxed life. ……”

The old man is fifty years old, and the eldest grandson is eleven years old. is full of praise for the days of the new dynasty, but when Fan Debang mentioned the word "school", he looked disapproving.

Fan Debang sat at the top, and he was also angry in his heart. Is education a bad thing? If you don't recognize one of the big characters, it's a good thing to be illiterate and blind when you're blind?

How did you get to where you are today?

If it weren't for the fact that when I was young, my father and mother worked hard for themselves to read and recognize the words of the article, would I have today's scenery? Don't think that the old people in Hanzhong back then were all beautiful, and there were a lot of ordinary people. Not capable!

No matter how much the emperor remembers the old feelings, he also talks about 'ability' first!

Now that the country has popularized new education, and night schools are also opened in the city, this is a great thing in the eyes of Fan Debang.

"Why is going to school a bad thing?" Fan Debang's voice was as cold as a quick knife cutting paper.

The old man who was doing it below was a spirit, and he secretly screamed in his heart. This school is the meaning of the imperial court.,That's naturally the meaning of Lord Shoufu.,Isn't it uncomfortable to find yourself?!

I didn't dare to look up at the Van de Bang at the moment. It's just that now, he can't keep his mouth shut, so he has to reply in a trembling voice: "Return...... Looking back at Fu's words, we are ordinary people, we can know a few words, we can write our own names, it's useless to read too many books......"

"Lord Shoufu, I don't take the imperial examination for ordinary people, it's really useless to study." The second is the small people in the city of Beijing. When it comes to going to school, it is also very repulsive, "A primary school is five years, although the school money is not needed, but the cost of books still has to be given, and five years is three or four hundred yuan." There is also pen, ink and paper, which is inevitable when you go to school.

That's a hundred dollars a year. The most important thing is that no one will have only one or two small ones, and the boy will be able to help pack up his things and take care of his little siblings at the age of six or seven. If you enter school for another two years, you will have to be thirteen or fourteen after completing your studies, which can delay the time to learn the craft. ”

"Lord Shousuke, my family doesn't expect the dolls to be officials. What are you going to study......"

"Shousuke-sama......"

All five of them went through it, and Fan Debang's head hurt.

Studying is to be an official, and if you don't want to be an official, you won't study! This is the principle of these fools!

Fan Debang frowned and said nothing. Seeing that his son had sent everyone away, he exclaimed angrily: "Stupid, stupid! ”

"It's useless to read, it's useless!" Fan Debang looked at his youngest son, "Jingyan, you are also a reader, do you think it is useful for these Shengdou Xiaomin to read some books?" ”

"Father, the child thinks that Shengdou Xiaomin may not be of great use to themselves by reading some books, but it is useful to the country."

"After reading the book, at least the newspaper can read. There will be new laws in the future, and you can recognize them. If the Advisory Council really changes to the Westerner election model one day, these small people will be able to understand the propaganda of the legislature. ”

After listening to his youngest son's words, the anger in Fan Debang's heart subsided a little.

But he was also slightly disappointed with his younger son's opinion. Fan Debang believes that through the new school education, students will learn to obey discipline and learn the most basic military discipline, which will lay the foundation for them to become industrial workers or soldiers in the future. Moreover, primary school education is to be able to read and write, to be familiar with the general addition, subtraction, and multipliers, and to understand the general laws of nature, which can curb the spread of cults to a certain extent. Moreover, without a little knowledge of writing and mathematics, those semi-literate people who could only read a few square words in the past had no way to master machine technology.

This is to erect the future for the whole country!

"Father. Reading these newspapers, most of them are Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, the Pearl River Delta, and Beijing and Tianjin. These places are the essence of China's industry, and the big cities are densely populated. Children from many families come out to do child labour. That's also an income. Van der Bang's youngest son believes that the resistance to going to school in these places is closely related to child labor. And as far as he knows, Guangxi and Hanzhong, where people are generally wealthy, are very enthusiastic about going to school and popularizing new education.

"Father. The newspaper only mentioned elementary schools, and my father did not let anyone go to the middle school and university to find out, but also to find out the situation of night schools in various places......" (to be continued......
