Holy Roman Empire

Having trouble finding the old man is universal in the ancient and modern world, and the royal son is no exception.

Unfortunately, William is now in the inspection period, a telegram asking for help can indeed solve most of the problems, but it also means that he failed the test.

To become a qualified monarch, you must first have the ability to deal with difficulties, and asking for help obviously does not prove your ability.

Although the development of the South China Sea region was important, in Franz's eyes, it was obviously not as important as raising a responsible son.

The colonies, the slow economic development that is slow, but rather a sudden economic growth, that is the need to worry about the tail.

After all, the biggest feature of the colonial system under the Shen Luo model is that it is particularly capable of fighting. If you have more money and industrial system, it is difficult to ensure that no ambition will be born.

In order to avoid this situation, from the beginning the development direction of the colonies under the Shen Luo, are planned by the Vienna government.

The first choice is to develop economic agriculture, mining, to provide domestic industrial raw materials; the second is to develop light industry.

As for heavy industry, new technology industry, that is a complete blank. What is missing from the domestic procurement is, there is no need to repeat the development of waste of resources.

In fact, there is no need to specifically restrict, without domestic support, to the colony's talent pool, simply can not play the technology industry.

Along with the development of the overseas state strategy, the Vienna government also reduced many restrictions on the colonies, especially after the royal son succeeded to the governorship, almost completely relaxed.

Unfortunately, times have changed, the second industrial revolution are at the end, the threshold of industrialization has gone up.

Every time he thought of this, William envied his elder brother who went to Austrian Central America. Although the same lack of talent, but raise the hoe always able to dig.

With the identity of the royal son, coupled with the prestige of Shen Luo, the talent of the American countries is still very attractive.

Many times, even the actual price does not have to pay, directly rely on a blank check, are able to lure a large group of people to come to work.

Although the ability of these people varies, in terms of professionalism is far less than the Shen Luo native, but in the colony is still the "top talent".

By digging, in just a few years, the Austrian Central American region has laid the foundation for industrialization.

In contrast, the Austrian Southern Ocean is much more miserable. William would like to dig, but there is really no place under the hoe ah!

Throughout Asia, can not find an industrialized country, including Japan and the Far East Empire, have just taken the steps of industrialization, the lack of talent is very powerful.

Originally, William had high hopes for Lanfang Autonomous Province, thinking that this side of the economy is good, there should be a good pool of talent.

In fact, it is also true. By virtue of his status as a royal son, William was immediately sought after upon his arrival in Lanfang.

After all, there is no struggle for the throne in Shinra, and there is very little internal strife within the royal family, so as a royal son, he can either be a vassal or return to his country to hold an important position.

No matter which case, the future is bright. There is no risk at all in defecting to the past.

Although living a peaceful life for decades, but the sense of crisis of the Chinese in the South Ocean has not disappeared. The thighs sent to the door, naturally to lean up.

The local big families have a count of one, all sent their first sons to serve under William, greatly enriching the team.

Indeed, they are all talents, but unfortunately, they are all off. If you are looking for economic talent, bureaucrats, it is a lot of people, from the grassroots to the top can find the right people.

Want to play industrialization, it is not to be expected. In a world where literature is more important than science and technology, the capitalists of Lanfang have to hire technicians from Shinra at a heavy price.

Of course, not completely without technical personnel, at least the basic industrial workers are still available.

Roads, water conservancy and other infrastructure projects can still be carried out with the local talent pool.

Therefore, since his succession as governor of the South China Sea, William started projects basically revolving around roads, water conservancy and other infrastructure.

Do not even need to personally go to open, to start a project, as long as the appointment of a few sons of the great families in charge, there will be artisans sent to the door.

And Franz learned, on how the artisans came, William never cared, only to see the results is.

To build a university will not work, unless he wants to establish a liberal arts college, or a military academy, otherwise the teachers will certainly not be able to get together.

......

After a moment of hesitation, Rodriguez carefully replied, "Your Highness, except for Professor Drake who accepted your invitation, everyone else chose to decline, but they recommended their own students."

Once again, the fact proved that the ideal thing belonged to a few. As the royal son William all personally wrote a letter to invite, and still ended up inviting only one professor.

Recommending their own students, in a sense, is simply giving face to William, the royal son.

You know, William's invitation letter is not indiscriminately sent. He did not bother to make a fool of himself by inviting newcomers who needed a chance in the professional field, which existed with great merit and fame.

Unfortunately, those who really dedicate their lives to education and research are only a minority, most of them are ordinary people.

Those who can become professors are not young. Dragging their families with them, it is too difficult for people to want them to leave the comfort zone of their home country and go to overseas colonies to fight.

Of course, these are not the most important, the key is willing to leave the European continent of the elite, long ago by the front of the nobility poached away.

Just look at the African continent, the same poor start, the local already has a dozen professional universities, and the quality of education is not low.

On the surface, these universities are established by the Vienna government, in fact, more or local noble patronage.

Not only the sponsorship funds, but more importantly, the patrons. In addition to teachers poached from Europe, there are some teachers who are directly the sons of the local nobility.

This is also the national situation of Shinra, the German region has a tradition of attaching importance to education, and the noble second generation who have enough resources are generally better educated.

In contrast, the Southern Ocean region does not have. It is not that the local nobility wasted, mainly because the opening of the Austrian Southern Ocean is too smooth, the subdivision of the noble lords on the small side.

The base is small, the probability of the appearance of science and technology talent is even smaller. Even if the occasional appearance, it is also a precious lump, long arranged properly.

"Ugh!"

After sighing, William said helplessly: "It seems to dig people, can only wait for the economic crisis!"

Influenced by Franz, several sons are not unjustifiably angry people habit. The robbery battle is staged every day in Shinra, except for the identity of a royal son, William does not have any advantage.

In this issue, do not expect the nobles to give him face. Not to mention the royal son, even the emperor to step in each according to the means.

"Your Highness, in fact, it is not impossible to establish a university now. Although we do not have enough teachers in science and technology, but there is still no shortage of people in other fields, sent to the country to study for half a year can take office.

With the special situation of the Austrian Southern Ocean region, we don't need to establish a university according to domestic standards at all, just downgrade it to a technical institution directly.

With Professor Drake in, plus other recommended students, we can completely set up the frame of science and technology, and there is still no problem to train basic science and technology talents.

Anyway, there is no competition here, even if the quality of teaching is a little bit worse, there is no worry about the lack of students.

If we want to increase the international influence, we can also open the military basic teaching, with the prestige of the imperial army, there is no worry about no international students enrolling."

Rodriguez proposed.

Regardless of the quality of teaching, the establishment of the first university in the Southern Ocean region was in itself a major political achievement. For William, who was in a state of assessment, this achievement was definitely a big plus.

Since it is a plus, naturally, the louder the better. Although Shen Luo does not advocate the internationalization of education, but a university has international influence, it is also the icing on the cake.

It just so happens that Nanyang University has caught up with the right time. Because of its geographical location, it has an inherent advantage, not to mention the addition of Shen Luo, which has a great influence on East Asian scholars.

If you have a thicker skin, you can claim to be the number one university in Asia. As for the University of Tokyo, which was established earlier, just ignore it.

Anyway, East Asia is now in the "foreign monks good scripture" stage, the University of Tokyo is far from the latter day so powerful, in the international status is not necessarily as high as some technical institutions.

For the "Nanyang University" in preparation, as long as the visibility out, even if it is half completed. As for the quality of education, you can slowly make up for the problem later.

To put it bluntly, it takes years to go to university. It is entirely possible to open classes while replenishing the faculty.

As long as the final graduates, the quality is qualified, who dares to say that Nanyang University will not work?

William asked uncertainly, "You mean that if the quality of teaching is not enough, make up for it with the quality of the student population. The question is will this work?"

Although Rodriguez did not say it directly, but twice raised the "no shortage of students", is clearly the best hint.

"Your Highness, good schools can produce bad students just as well as bad schools can produce good students.

In the context of the same teaching resources, such differentiation is obviously a problem of the students themselves.

The teaching materials and management model we use can be copied exactly from the domestic colleges and universities.

As long as the quality of the students we recruit is good enough and they are willing to delve deeper, even if the faculty is lacking, it doesn't hurt."

Pitfalls, perhaps they exist! After all, the poor quality of teaching does affect the students' learning.

But in these days, it's very hard to have a chance at higher education. One more university out, it means an increase of hundreds or thousands of opportunities.

The big wave of sand, so many students, always able to pluck out the gold. Not seeking the emergence of natural talent, as long as some people can reach the average level of the country, or slightly worse are considered successful.

After contemplating for a while, William nodded: "Then let's set up the frame first, I will communicate with the Ministry of Education to choose a site for the school, teacher recruitment and follow-up publicity work will be left to you.

If the Ministry of Education can not send someone with weight to serve as principal, I will personally. To ensure that the first enrollment can be successfully completed, the momentum must be created."

Festivity of God, in front of politics is never worth mentioning. For the sake of political performance William is also desperate, and even ready to serve as the principal since.

......

Tokyo, along with the arrival of representatives of the Tsarist government, the Russian embassy case once again entered a new phase.

Under the strong suppression of the Japanese government, Tokyo finally returned to normal. Against the background of the organizers' imprisonment, the popular protests and demonstrations in Tokyo were terminated.

......

In the Holy Roman Empire's embassy in Tokyo, Minister Jose put down the coffee in his hand and asked cautiously, "Liu, are you sure that releasing a few students will help the Empire expand its share of trade in the Far East?"

Along with the passage of time, the number of Chinese students who were affected by the calamity also increased. Wang De Cheng, the unlucky one at the very beginning, was finally no longer alone.

The more people involved, the greater the power behind the activity. President Liu, who was originally only prepared to pull the strings, was finally persuaded to be the lobbyist.

With the understanding of the Holy Roman Empire, President Liu clearly talk about whether the arrested students were wronged, there is no point.

Want to ask for help, the best way or interest. Direct gifts are too outdated, with the modesty of the Holy Roman bureaucrats, the gifts from strangers are never eaten and wiped clean without doing anything.

Secretly to carry out the operation, and need a lot of time, and also take the risk of exposure.

Whether it is the Chinese Association, or President Liu himself, can not take such a risk, even if the favor behind it is very fragrant.

Sending gifts will not work, then send political achievements. This is something that all bureaucrats like, no matter how big or small.

Anyway, these things, with the family behind the foreign students to contribute, he just needs to do a favor.

It is also true that when he heard that he could expand his share of trade, Minister Jose immediately took to it.

It was not a matter of releasing a few unlucky people. Let alone not being a murderer, even if it is a real murderer, as long as the benefits are big enough, there is the same room for negotiation.

"Your Excellency, the fathers of these foreign students are all officials of the Far Eastern Empire government, and the families behind them are very influential in the Far Eastern Empire.

If you can get them out now, you are their life-saving benefactor. We Chinese talk about repaying kindness, and you are able to harvest their friendship along with the family behind them at the same time.

It is somewhat difficult to expand your country's market share in the Far East, but it is no problem at all to expand the market share of the several foreign companies designated by your Excellency in the Far East.

It is said that affected by the tension between Japan and Russia, the Far East Empire has recently had another large order of millions of military purchases, and the buyer has not yet been determined, you see ......"

Not waiting for President Liu to finish his words, Minister Jose's serious face, smiled openly: "If this order, can fall into the hands of the Empire, I think it is not a problem."

There is no way, the same minister also has three or six or nine grades. As a minister in Japan, Jose obviously can not be compared with the minister in Britain and Russia.

If this was the only thing, Japan was too poor, and there was no chance to make political achievements.

If not for the outbreak of the Russian Embassy case, he would still be the non-existent Minister of Shinra, and would not have had the opportunity to perform.

He never thought that he would be favored one day. First, the Russian embassy case broke out, he got the opportunity to get political achievements, and now there is a big order of military purchase delivered to his door.

Don't look at the amount of one million taels of silver is not large, but can't help the arms trade profiteering. This single at least hundreds of thousands of silver profits, if you count the follow-up ammunition procurement, this profit will even exceed the current procurement contract.

If you take this order, turn around and dump it to the military, not only to harvest a political achievement, but also to gain the goodwill of the military.

For the aspiring Minister Jose, the significance of this is extraordinary. Even look at this uninvited guest President Liu, are a lot more smooth.

Having received the exact answer, President Liu also breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately assured, "Your Excellency, please rest assured. We will try our best to facilitate the deal, but the operation will take some time. Do you see if you can get the people out first?"

No hurry, the trial meeting under the auspices of the International Court of Justice had already started, and if we didn't get the man, we would have to see him in the courtroom.

Minister Jose smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I can still talk in the international court.

As a group of young and uninformed students, their participation in the march was completely coerced and had nothing to do with the Russian embassy case itself.

If they are released in advance now, it will easily arouse suspicion from the outside world. We should wait a little longer and let the international court prove their innocence."

It's not bragging, as the minister of Shen Luo, Jose does have the ability to influence the verdict of the international court.

Just look at the composition of the international tribunal, most of them are from the European continent. Perhaps let them conduct the trial against the principle, there may be people who will refuse. But spare a few shrimps that are not even small fish, that is not a problem.

Seeing the one in front of him not see the rabbit, President Liu wanted to say something and then stop.
