Having said that, it does not mean that Ernst will do nothing, and now that the education and training system has not been established, then the separation of research and study can also make some preparation for the future.

The so-called research refers to the establishment of some official scientific research institutions by the East African government, and the highly educated talents and elites in the field of science are concentrated in East Africa to engage in theoretical and practical scientific research.

In a few years, after the completion of the construction of the secondary education system in East Africa, the corresponding universities will be established, and at this time, these talents who will be concentrated in East Africa will continue to shine, and in general, they will first recruit and retain talents in East Africa.

June 7, 1873.

Soga City.

The Soga Municipal Government was officially established at the beginning of this year and became one of the municipalities under the jurisdiction of the Central Province. However, the newly established city of Soga seems to be very deserted, and there are people to maintain the city's health and order, and the main lack of popularity has led to the lack of vitality of the whole city.

Soga East Railway Station.

A brand new train slowly entered the station, but only a few people in suits got off the train.

A young man carrying a suitcase introduced to the people around him: "Professor Kurland, we have reached our destination, this is the city of Soga in East Africa. ”

Kurland looked left and right, completely unable to imagine that this was a legendary Africa, and it was understandable when he landed in Dar es Salaam, because the world's port cities are much the same, and the prosperity of Dar es Salaam is not unacceptable at all. But when he got on the train in East Africa, Kurand felt something incredible, and when he arrived in Soga, Kurland had not yet reacted from the shock.

"Mr. Blanco, you really didn't lie to me! Is this really Africa? ”

"Of course, Professor Kurland, this is Africa, and although it is indeed somewhat unbelievable, I must say that the development of the Kingdom of East Africa has emerged at an incredible pace, completely out of a blank space in a few years."

"I don't know much about geography, but I used to know some of the customs of East Africa from books, but when I actually go to East Africa, I think those books are completely outdated!" Professor Coolland said.

Kurand's image of East Africa is one of exoticism, with Arab camels, white robes, grasslands, and all sorts of strange beasts.

But what Kurland has seen so far is European-style architecture, large tracts of fertile land, well-developed roads and irrigation systems, and the bustling city of Dar es Salaam. If it hadn't been for the boat that had traveled thousands of miles, Kurand would have wondered if he hadn't left Germany yet.

Blanco said with some pride: "Although the Kingdom of East Africa was founded relatively late, all his styles were formulated according to the standards of the German region, and fully absorbed the excellent culture of Germany and Austria to build a new homeland for the Germans." ”

However, this sentence did not resonate with Professor Kurland, the East African kingdom he already had a preliminary understanding of the city of Dar es Salaam, although it is also a German state, but many of its citizens are pseudo-Germans.

This kind of thing is only strange in the Kingdom of East Africa, if it is in Germany, then the Poles are Poles, and the French are French, even if they move to Germany, it will not change their identity in a short time.

The kingdom of East Africa, on the other hand, is completely different, as if it has not seen any difference except for the lower status of the blacks.

Puzzled, Professor Kurland asked, "Mr. Blanco, I see that there are many faces in East Africa that are not the same as those of the German region, and even have some differences in skin color. ”

Blanco said bluntly: "There is nothing strange about this, the Kingdom of East Africa was actually a colony before, in order to develop the colony, it is normal to absorb people from all over the world, as long as you identify with German culture in East Africa, it is naturally Germans, of course, as you said, the status of blacks is indeed low, but this is a very helpless thing, we Germans are bound to go out of Germany if we want to develop, Germany is one of the countries with the most serious population loss in Europe every year, compared to countries with other cultures, It's better to go to a German country. ”

As for Germany's population loss, it has indeed been the most serious, even if there is no East African kingdom, Germany will still lose nearly one million people in these years, for example, this year, the number of German emigration is still the first in Europe, and the second is the Kingdom of Italy.

Professor Kurland: "Alright! It is true that we Germans are more serious in terms of the exodus of the population. ”

Blanco: "That's it, so the presence in East Africa is important for the whole German region. ”

As he spoke, several people had already walked out of the station, and at this time, Professor Kurland and the others noticed that something was wrong.

"Mr. Blanco! Why does the city feel empty and so quiet? ”

Blanco responded: "Professor Kurander, that's the case, Soga is just a new city, so there are not many people settled in, so it will naturally look empty, but don't worry, Soga is just a few people now, not no one, you see if the roads in the city are very clean, they are all cleaned by the staff every day." ”

"So how many people can make a difference in their lives! Such as shops, pubs, entertainment ......"

"There is no need to worry at all, the government has arranged a series of places and institutions that are essential for life, such as shops and institutions, as long as Dar es Salaam has them, it will not be too bad here, but as a city of science and technology, we pay more attention to the good environment and quality of life."

Blanco explained, and then took Kurland and a few people into a public carriage, which surprised the groom: "Gentlemen, you are the first passengers I have met since I started the operation!" ”

Kurland asked the groom, "Sir, how can you make money without guests?" ”

Ma Fu: "You don't know about East Africa, you should also be new here, working in East Africa is arranged by the government, and we naturally have to receive government salaries." ”

Kurland: "And what's your monthly salary?" ”

Groom: "My salary is about twenty-five Rheins a month. ”

This made Kurland a little shocked: "Twenty-five rhine shields!" ”

The groom can get so much salary in a month!

Seeing Kurland's shocked expression, Blanco knew that he had misunderstood, and explained to Kurander in time: "The Kingdom of East Africa has its own currency, also called the Rhine Shield, but the Rhine Shield in East Africa is different from the Rhine Guilder in Europe, and its value is much lower than that of francs. ”

"I see!" After listening to Blanco's words, it dawned on Kurand that it would be terrible if it was really twenty-five European Rhine guilders a month.

"Is the twenty-five East African Rhine Shield enough?"

"Of course, there is no problem in ensuring food and clothing for an average family, and the price of food in East Africa is not very expensive."

This wage level is actually about the same as that of British workers, not much lower, so it is relatively easy to support a family.
