After parting from Negro, Nishikoji did not return to the hotel, but wandered along the streets of Barcelona alone.

Although he does not know Spanish, he has mastered French skills in addition to English and Japanese, and is perfectly accessible in Catalonia, a region heavily influenced by French culture.

But no matter how many people he asked, none of them knew what bamboo was used for, and even the vast majority of people didn't even know what bamboo was.

However, some people were interested in him with an oriental face, mistakenly thinking that he was a Chinese laborer who had fled from Cuba, and asked him how the Cuban War was doing.

"......" Jin Xiaolu Haoxing knew that he couldn't get clues, but it wasn't without gain, he at least understood that there were very few things made of bamboo on the European market.

Based on this, it is speculated that these bamboos may have been used to make some unknown new invention, and if you go back and ask the Japanese businessman who presided over the transaction, they should have more information on their side.

No wonder he is so concerned, the recent reform of the state departments, in a few months the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be split into the Ministry of Industry, if this task can be done well, maybe he can find a good position in it.

After making up his mind, he was more concerned about the appearance of Barcelona itself.

When Negro took him around, he visited gardens, theatres, restaurants and watch shops.

These are all good, but he would rather see the lives of ordinary residents of Barcelona.

As the first people in Japan to open their eyes to the world, although the territory had just been taken over by the central government and they had been reduced from lords to Chinese, their love for the country had not diminished in the slightest.

He wanted to know the country in detail and make sure that he could give the country the most accurate information.

Starting from the central square, he walked all the way to the northwest, and from the inquiry he had just learned that it was one of the industrial areas.

As we move away from the city, the number of shops of all kinds is indeed decreasing, and the clothes on pedestrians are slowly becoming less light.

But his shock gradually deepened, because he saw many women coming and going, wearing the same uniforms as men, walking down the street with laughter and laughter.

The streets are not clean, but they are perfectly acceptably dirty, and most importantly, there are very few beggars on the roads, and many of them have mutilated limbs.

This was a sight he had never seen before, even in the capital Tokyo, there was never a shortage of beggars on the road, and every time he went to the civilian ghetto, many people cowered and tried to beg, he was used to it.

Not here, of course, he speculated that it might be because Europeans looked down on Asians, even if he was wearing a more expensive Western European outfit, but he didn't look like he was rich because of his size.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, in case he felt that he was rich, it would not be fun to come to a gang of gangsters to rob him, and the only guard around him would deal with two people at most.

Not to mention that they don't have guns in their hands, it is also a certain risk to go deep into this kind of area.

Unbeknownst to him, many of the thugs were hired at the time of Mario's uprising and had been dealt with themselves.

Later, when the Progressive Guard temporarily took over the duties of the Barcelona police, it was purged again, and now there are very few underworld forces.

Admittedly, there are still some fish that slip through the net, but they are all located further away from the city, and they don't even want to meet them in the industrial area.

Continuing along the road, Jin Xiaolu Haoxing found that female workers had become very common, about one in every three women.

For this obvious cultural emancipation, his heart was full of envy.

However, it still depends on the individual, and some Japanese may feel that this is unorthodox, and it can only be said that Nishiki Koji Hiroyuki is more enlightened.

Walking around, he came to a large courtyard, and what attracted him here was the sound of reading in the courtyard.

Although it is an incomprehensible language, the children's recitation in unison represents the same meaning all over the world.

Jin Xiaolu Haoxing really wanted to go in and have a look, but when he first arrived, he was a little afraid of violating some rules.

Fortunately, Aunt Maria, who was sweeping the floor at the door, found him, and since Monica's nursery business has become bigger and bigger, she has stopped doing laundry at home, and has obtained a position as the director of the nursery by virtue of her former relationship.

Maria looked at the stranger in front of her, who was dressed appropriately, had a strange hairstyle, and had been hesitating at the door, and she was a little hesitant to deal with it......

"Don't be a traitor to Cuba, come here for revenge!" Thinking of this, Maria chuckled in her heart, if anything happened to the more than 50 students in the nursery, she could not afford to take this responsibility.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly drank: "Leave quickly!" ”

Seeing that the other party looked confused and did not react, Maria was even more nervous, she could only speak this language, and at most a few words of Catalan.

Since she couldn't communicate, she had no choice but to call for help, so she turned around and went into the courtyard, calling out the only teacher who was in class.

The teacher was pulled out in confusion: "What are you doing?" I'm still in class! ”

As Aunt Maria whispered a few words in her ear, Luisa quickly fell silent.

She first tried to talk in Spanish, but it didn't work, so she switched to French, and the other party finally responded.

"Cuban Chinese laborers?"

"No, it's not." Jin Xiaolu Haoxing, who was a little nervous by the other party, finally relaxed a little and understood that the other party recognized himself as a clear person again.

At the same time, he felt a little sad in his heart, this world only knows the clear and ignores Japan......

"I'm a Japanese official, I'm here to visit, Japan!"

"Japanese ......" Luisa chewed on this unfamiliar word, I really haven't heard it, looking at the other side's face, it should be a certain princely state in Southeast Asia.

She didn't care too much, she didn't study very well, otherwise she wouldn't have come to the nursery school.

Besides, don't Europeans remember the map of Europe these days?

"It's good that I'm not here to carry out an attack." Luisa casually asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"This is the school? I want to go in and have a look. Jin Xiaolu Haoxing replied sincerely.

"Count half, come in and see, don't scare the child." Luisa is self-contained, and she is also curious about this Southeast Asian.

Jin Xiaolu Haoxing followed the other party inside, and Luisa returned to the class to give a lecture, while he listened below.

After the class, with Luisa's explanation, he finally understood how the education in the nursery school was implemented.

"However, the trusteeship can only be managed for a while, and the government says it expects to complete a comprehensive reform of formal education within 15 years." Finally, Luisa added.

However, Jin Xiaolu no longer listened, he only felt that he had found a good way to save the country.

At present, education in Japan is mainly based on terakoya and village schools, and the government has decided to make great efforts to reform education, but it does not know what to do for the better.

Historically, Japan has indeed worked hard to accomplish the goal of "civilization and enlightenment," and there is a broad consensus in all sectors of society.

It's just that the goal is set too high, out of touch with the actual situation, and an eight-year compulsory education is set at the beginning, and it is universalized throughout the country.

As you can imagine, the results were difficult to implement, and the state of education did not improve until the introduction of a new law in 1886.

Therefore, when Jin Xiaolu Haoxing saw such a new development route, it is not difficult to understand the excitement in his heart.

However, the national conditions of each country are different, and it will take time to verify whether Japan can refer to Spain's proposal......
