[052] Entering the university and persuading bravely
The break between classes was a paradise for the group of children to vent their energy for ten minutes. They shouted and rushed around, just like little wild horses. Liang Younian was afraid that Yung Wing would be injured, so the group walked to the classroom office on the second floor.
The office has special desks and chairs, with bright windows and clean rooms, and the environment is very good. Yung Wing drank a cup of hot tea and sighed: "What do you think here... is like?"
Although Liang was only fifteen years old and was mature in his mind, he was far superior to his peers. He knew what Yung Wing pointed out, thought for a moment, and replied: "Old Rong, according to what the students saw, this Young Master Long is not like a bad person! He can set up a university for children in the village to study, no matter what, it is considered a good deed!"
When the children around Liang Younian heard this, they all nodded: "Yes, although he abducted us, but with the degree of his emphasis on education, no one in the country can match!"
Thirty-six young children studying in the United States were all the best in the Qing Dynasty to receive Western education. They had a broad vision and were proactive. Lei Long and others "scammered" them to Alaska and treated them with delicious food and drink. Apart from a little restricting their freedom, they didn't feel any awkward for a while. Instead, they were all the novel experiences of Guangming Village, such as tall houses, wide roads, excellent sewage pipelines, freighters by the dock, small fish that could emit strange heat, and this brave school to enter the university. Everything made these young children feel extremely novel, as if they had come to the Peach Blossom Land in the book.
Yung Wing said: "In the long run, just teaching these children, what you learn will be wasted!"
Liang Younian smiled bitterly: "Old Rong, there is nothing we can do about this, but for the moment, we are enjoying it!"
The children around them all nodded: teach during the day and compile books at night! Compiling dictionaries, this is a good thing that many literati can't even ask for!
Liang Younian placed the book in his hand on the table and said, "Old Rong, you can see this book. I heard that it was written by Young Master Long himself. The spelling and pronunciation rules are everywhere, and it is very suitable for generalized primary schools and enlightening people's wisdom!"
Yung Wing had long noticed the strange things about the professors in this school. He took out his glasses and covered them in front of him. Looking carefully, he saw that the book cover read: Introduction to Chinese Pinyin.
"Pinyin? Let me take a look..." Yung Wing picked up the book and read it quietly. With his profound knowledge, he opened his mouth and read it after a while: "Day... is over... soft?"
Someone added: "Mr. Rong, the standard pronunciation is that I... soft!"
Another laughed and said, "Your pronunciation is not right, it should be five nights a day... soft!"
Liang Younian was amused and crying: "The pronunciation must be complete. Didn't we study it together last night? Listen to me, the correct pronunciation should be, I... soft on Friday night!"
"Pu" At this time, a stuttering sound came from the door, followed by a violent cough. The children surrounding Yung Wing quickly looked back and saw a handsome boy with red lips and white teeth standing at the door of the office. He held the door and smiled so hard that his face was thrusting! Next to him was a handsome little maid with picturesque eyebrows. Isn't it the master and servant of Long Hao and Yuan'er?
Long Hao came by coincidence and happened to hear the words of these young children. He almost laughed heartbroken. He slowed down and said, "Everyone, the second class has begun. The students are waiting. Don't you go back to class yet?"
Liang Younian and these young children were afraid of this young master Long. Seeing him say this, they hurriedly bid farewell to Yung Wing and left in a hurry.
In the office, only Master Long Hao and Yung Wing were left instantly.
Long Hao approached and smiled and said, "Old Rong, I have time today. How do I think I am brave enough to enter the university?"
Yung Wing had no expression on his face, and his "Introduction to Pinyin" was spread out: "There are only a group of children, and the professor is only enlightenment and kindergarten, so he can't say a big word!"
Long Hao pulled open the chair and sat down and said, "You have to eat rice one bite at a time. First teach literacy and then teach arithmetic. When I reach a certain level, I will also introduce subjects such as nature, chemistry, biology, and English in Western learning for them to learn. After I have enough skills, I will also recruit internationally renowned professors to teach them the most cutting-edge scientific knowledge. At that time, this university will be true!"
Yung Wing said: "Whoever will say bragging words!"
Long Hao said: "Are you bragging? Sir, you can wait and see. To be honest, I, Long Hao, have nothing, I am just rich. I will go to the western United States and buy a famous university! Hey, how about Stanford University?"
Yung Wing opened his eyes: "Stanford? What university is that?"
Seeing Yung Wing’s doubts, Long Hao couldn’t help but be surprised: Why did I remember it wrong? Is there no Stanford yet?
Stanford University is located in Palo, California
Alto, the city is adjacent to San Francisco. Historically, Stanford University was founded in 1885 to commemorate his dead son. At that time, the campus was his private farm, located in a remote place and not well-known at all!
Before the 20th century, the American West was still a wild place in the eyes of Americans. When it comes to famous universities, they naturally think of the Ivy League in the East, such as Yale, Harvard... Stanford? Even Yung Wing has never heard of it!
After figuring it out, Long Hao was very depressed. He glared at the blind man and pretended to be B. He failed: "Okay, whether it is to acquire Stanford, I will pay for a new university by myself. I can bet with you that in just five years, I can make this school surpass Yale and Harvard!"
Yung Wing surprisedly did not sarcastically: "What are you betting on?"
Long Hao stared at Yung Wing and said, "In the past five years, as long as you do not violate the principles of your husband, please stay by my side and give me advice. If I win in five years, please stay and help me with all my strength!"
Yung Wing: "What if you lose?"
Long Hao said: "If I lose, I will give you $1 million in five years to implement your plan to study in the United States!"
Yung Wing's eyes lit up and he put together the "Introduction to Pinyin": "Okay, I've bet with you! But I have one condition!"
Long Hao hurriedly said: "Please say it!"
Yung Wing said: "After these young children were compiled and usurped the Chinese Dictionary, I think you would send them to Boston. With their talents, they should go to Yale and Harvard, and not waste them on enlightenment and kindergarten!"
He then stood up and walked towards the door: "Long Hao, you wrote this book well, please lend it to me!"
Long Hao showed joy on his face and whispered loudly: "What you get occasionally is not worth mentioning! Just take it to see it with sir! Also, next month, I will go to the mainland of the United States! You can bring these young children with you!"
Yung Wing nodded and walked out of Long Hao's sight without saying a word.
At this point, Long Hao knew that Yung Wing Yung’s big bull... was moved!
Yung Wing was so moved that it was easy to deal with those 36 young children studying in the United States. To be honest, Long Hao did not intend to keep them in Guangming Village as preschool teachers and send them to higher education institutions in the United States to study. Only by doing their best for people and things! Otherwise, he would have really confirmed the crime of abducting talents!
Now a few days before April 1891, Long Hao is going to study the super food seeds to see if there is any progress. Then, after Liang Younian and others trained a group of qualified Chinese pinyin teachers, they set out to Portland!
To compile a dictionary, you need to be patient and meticulous, and you need to pile up time, but you don’t need much knowledge. Liang Younian and others don’t have to waste time here at all.
When he went to Portland, Long Hao came to inspect Little Libixi's work, and secondly, he also brought the whitening fish over and asked the doctor of chemistry to synthesize whitening medicines with more money-absorbing ability to herself! Of course, Princess Melissa's increasingly irritable and unpredictable emotions were also the focus of Long Hao's consideration of going out.
According to the report of Yuan'er, the little spy, the beautiful Spanish princess has recently gone out to hunt significantly. She is often locked in the room alone and doesn't eat. She doesn't know what to do. The little maid is worried that if she continues like this, Melissa will suffer from any disease!
After hearing this, Long Hao attached great importance to it: This is a trend of being bored to become home-like! It seems that he has either handled the affairs of Guangming Village or fed himself the source of money. He has ignored this charming princess. If he doesn't take her out for a walk and breathe the air of Western civilization, he may really have depression-like symptoms!
To put it bluntly, Melissa has been with Long Hao for more than a year. In addition to briefly showing her business and social talents in Portland, the rest of her time was spent in the steamship, Alaska woods, and barren mountains. Apart from Yuan'er, she didn't even have a basic maid. She hasn't had a sick time for so long, so she is already considered to be optimistic and open-minded!
But no matter what, Melissa is just a rebellious girl who is 20 years old and runs away from home. After so long the marriage storm has gone through, she can't help but miss her homesickness!
Homesickness is a secondary poison!
