December 9, 1866.

Today, another school in Heixingen has landed, Heixingen Cultural School. This school is actually an elementary school, and unlike the Heixinggen Military Academy, it recruits Chinese students at the same time.

After all, going to school at the Heshingen Military Academy means going to East Africa in the end, and which German parents will rush to send their children to Africa.

Therefore, except for the Chinese students, most of the other German students at the Heixingen Military Academy were orphans from all over Germany.

Heixingen Cultural School is different, it is a regular school, while Heixingen Military Academy is actually a pheasant university.

The Heshingen Military Academy is not part of the Prussian education system, and its students come from the academy's own enrollment and have a clear goal after graduation.

The Heixingen Cultural School was registered with the Prussian government, and the Chinese students here all studied as "international students".

Ernst, a student at the Heixingen Military Academy, could be issued a household register in the East African colonies, while the Chinese students at the Heixingen Cultural School were still Chinese in the Prussian government records.

After all, these Chinese students will enter other schools in Germany in the future, and they do not have identity certificates issued by the government, and theoretically they are all black households, so they simply use the name of international students to cover up, and Ernst is the guarantor.

The Heshingen Military Academy can only meet the needs of military personnel, while Ernst will need specialists from all walks of life in the future.

In order to make use of the limited educational resources, those who excelled could continue their studies at secondary schools in Germany, and Ernst planned to set up a secondary school.

Then Ernst, one of the best of them, would recommend him to audit and study at various universities in Germany.

As for those who are not good at studying, they can only enter the factory of Ernst after graduation to work as screws, of course, they can also apply for the Heshingen Military Academy, and finally go to the East African colonies to serve as soldiers, or become German teachers.

Now the Upper Binhai District has begun to pilot German education, and the first German primary school in the first town has been established, and the East African colony requires all Chinese immigrants in the first town to send their children to the first town of the German primary school.

And the teachers of the school are students who graduated from the Heixingen Military Academy, and the textbooks are the ones they used to use.

When it comes to the education of immigrants, of course, it starts with these children, and the older generation of immigrants does not require them to speak German, as long as they can master a few common words.

These adult Chinese, their thinking has long been stereotyped, and they have passed the most suitable age for learning, if they directly eradicate illiteracy, the cost can be imagined, and the final effect may not be satisfactory.

As long as they realize that German is the future of the colony, the smart people among them will take the initiative to learn German.

In fact, some of the bright-minded immigrants had already learned simple German through communication with colonial officials, and were thus placed as administrators.

For immigrants in the colonies, sending their children to school is not psychologically burdensome, after all, there is a good saying, everything is inferior, only reading is high.

Those bureaucrats in the Far East did rely on monopolizing knowledge and education to block the upward channel, how good it is in the folk drama, as long as you get the top prize, it is what you want, the common people have never eaten pork, but they have seen pigs run.

Even if they are talents, they can also rely on teaching and educating people to get rid of manual labor, not to mention the economic privilege of exempting some taxes and the promotion of social status.

Of course, the education in the East African colonies is not the education model of the Far East that selects officials, or simply the literacy of these ordinary immigrant children.

Of course, the earlier this kind of people receive compulsory education in the early stage, the greater the dividends, for example, in the better job arrangements in the colony, priority will definitely be given to immigrants who have received colonial education.

In the future, with the popularization of compulsory education in the East African colonies, this dividend will become less and less, and then it will become the lowest threshold.

The content of education in the first school in East Africa was actually very simple, except for German education, there was only simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and finally the idea of "loyalty and patriotism".

So these children only have half a day of classes, go to school in the morning, and go home in the afternoon to help.

In order to improve the quality of life, immigrants will engage in small income-generating activities, such as growing vegetables near their houses, or raising chickens and ducks, which these colonies do not care.

As long as the work assigned by the colonies is completed on time, the rest of the time is arranged at will, because of the relatively rich land, there is a lot of idle land in the East African colonies.

For example, the houses of colonial immigrants are not as crowded and scattered as those in the Far East, and these houses are planned with two open spaces in front and back, a garden, and a drainage canal.

For the Chinese immigrants, the garden has never heard of it, these fields are better used to grow vegetables, the drainage canal is behind the house, in fact, there is not so much land, next to the channel, the land is turned over or planted with crops.

The additional income from the use of vacant land is earned by the migrants themselves and does not have to be handed over.

Only the dwellings of the Germans, which were really gardens and lawns in front, were deserted in the back, and the land that crossed the drainage canals in the back.

This can only represent the different attitudes of the two people, and it is true that Germans have higher wages and more leisurely work.

The Germans were also curious about the Chinese immigrants growing vegetables in their gardens, and sometimes they would take the initiative to ask the immigrants what kind of vegetables this was and what was the use of that tool.

The Chinese did not come to East Africa completely empty-handed, and the colonies would not confiscate their belongings, but they were too large to get on the ship.

Some Chinese were brought to East Africa with plant seeds in their arms, resulting in the emergence of various Far Eastern vegetables on African soil.

The land of Africa is the most suitable for growing vegetables, after all, vegetables are also grasses in nature, and Africa is suitable for grass growth, so it has the largest savanna in the world.

There is no winter here, and as long as the water supply is guaranteed, the plants can grow all the time.

There are also some ideological distinctions between German and Chinese immigrants, such as the fact that Germans value territory and cannot set foot in their own yards without their own consent. However, Chinese immigrants visit each other and have no sense of territory.

The Chinese will not take the initiative to go to the courtyard of the Germans, after all, the Chinese immigrants are born to feel short, in fact, these Germans do not have that kind of domineering thoughts, after contact with the Chinese, their impression is not bad, after all, everyone is from a peasant background, after exchanging some agricultural experience, the sense is not bad.

Chinese immigrants without braids, coupled with their industriousness and hygiene, were the result of colonial mandates, but the Chinese were highly obedient, so they covered up some shortcomings.

And the Germans in the East African colonies were also the big bosses in Prussia, and they didn't care about some small details.

The only difference between the two sides is that Germans have received compulsory education, so the level of education is relatively high, but they have only received primary education, so the high quality is limited.

In the eyes of these peasant-born Germans, the Chinese immigrants were relatively easy to deal with, and the thinking of ordinary peasants was relatively simple and unwinding.

Unlike later generations, some people who went abroad went to people's yards to pick flowers and fold grass, and after being criticized, they pretended to be aggrieved and forcefully argued, you said that he was uneducated! He has gone abroad, and his education is generally not low, so his education and quality have little to do with it.

This is the situation that the Chinese would have in developed countries in those years, when Ernst was in Africa, the Chinese could be said to be tired of dogs, and there were many workers from the motherland at the construction site where Ernst was.

They don't have a high degree of education, at least many of the people Ernst knows have high school and junior high school education, but in Africa, they are directly playing the indigenous people like monkeys.

Drag it like two hundred and five every day, send some snacks to indigenous children, and then teach some "stupid words" with a mobile phone to shoot and send a certain sound, which seems to be full of superiority.

In fact, don't the natives see them as a joke? and even treat some people as wronged people.

Although Ernst also looked down on the natives, the education of his homeland prevented Ernst from doing that kind of impolite behavior, which was too cheap.

And in this era, because of the weakness of the country, the difficulties of people's livelihood, and the enslavement education, where do Chinese immigrants dare to look like the eldest and the second in overseas like later generations.

Only promises are the true portrayal, so the Chinese immigrants who voluntarily took a step back and got along with the Germans.
