Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

"When he was young, he thought that since his family had some money, he could just mess around. At that time, studying abroad was popular. Some people could become officials after two years abroad, so everyone was eager to go abroad. He didn't want to inherit the medicine shop, but also wanted to go abroad to bring honor to his family."

There is no need for Ding Qiunan to say more about what happened later, as Xu Damao was quite clear about that period of history.

The imperial court spent money to send students abroad to study, and recruited students from all over the country. It was not so easy to get a place. Don't think that the exam will test eight-legged essays. That is impossible. The exam will be policy essays, arithmetic and foreign languages. That's right, foreign languages ​​must be tested. If you can't even get into the Study Abroad Hall, forget about anything else.

Moreover, in terms of difficulty, eight-legged essay is greater than policy essay.

In fact, the eight-legged essay is actually the product of restricting thought.

This is the famous "learn from the barbarians in order to defeat them". Send the smartest people to study, and the knowledge they gain will be yours. It is best to learn everything from others, so that you can return to the "Celestial Empire, where all nations come to pay tribute".

Unfortunately, I didn't learn much, because they were only willing to teach you liberal arts-related majors such as "literature", "politics and law", and "medicine", mainly for the purpose of spreading ideas. Mechanics, physics, and industry are difficult to learn.

More than 90% of international students study liberal arts, and the remaining small number study "shipbuilding, railways, and bridge building."

The result is obvious: the court shot itself in the foot.

These scholars who accepted Western ideas joined the side of justice without hesitation after returning to their country.

These people are really fighting at the risk of their lives. They want to overthrow the regime and restore it. In four words, it can be described as "never stop until death."

This is also one of the fundamental reasons for the failure of "learning advanced foreign technology to control foreigners". Another reason is the counterattack of the conservatives.

Furthermore, after the naval battle, in order to promote friendship, Japan invited students to study in Japan. From this time on, a large-scale new trend of studying abroad emerged, which was the second stage.

At this time, you can learn more, not just liberal arts related.

There is also a third stage, which is after the 19th century, when we entered a new century and a new atmosphere, recovered the snow-covered areas, abolished the imperial examination system, and learned from Japan to establish a constitutional monarchy. The problem is that it was too late to sweep the conservatives into the trash at this time.

Because the South has gained momentum.

Not surprisingly, the old lion fell here.

If we count the people who studied abroad, from xx to Lu Shuren, from Sun Dapao to Chiang Kai-shek, from Chen Jiaxiucai to Director Zhou, all of them studied in Japan.

It was in Japan that Lu Shuren said, "Since that time, I have felt that studying medicine is not an important matter. All weak and foolish people, no matter how strong and healthy they are, can only be used as meaningless materials for public display and spectators." In short, studying medicine cannot save the Chinese people.

Both of Lu Shuren's brothers married Japanese wives and brought them back to their hometown.

So the question is, how many of these people have children with Japanese daughters?

Do you know who married a Japanese wife?

Those people are well-known figures, and it is normal for them to have children with Japanese women. What is the basis for this father Ding to do so?

"So what did he learn during the day?"

"I don't know. He never said anything. It's just that he went abroad at his own expense and encountered some restrictions when he came back. He didn't care. He would rather not have to work. Even if the little property left in our family was gone."

Xu Damao didn't want to comment on this.

"If you lose money, you can make more. If you lose your property, you can buy it again. Don't mention the past. I understand what you mean. If you figure it out in the future, you can contact me at any time."

"Thank you, Director Xu."

Ding Qiunan bowed again, which made Xu Damao's original intention to force himself go away.

Forget it, forget it, I won’t force it.

There will always be a chance to go to Hong Kong. If not, you can talk to Yao Lao about a deal. If Ding Qiunan fails to get into medical school next year, he probably won't be so ambitious.

"How about you think about it again?"

Ding Qiunan rolled his eyes at Xu Damao, then turned around and walked back to the ward.

The moment he opened the door of the ward, Father Ding saw that it was Ding Qiunan who went back alone, and his loud voice came out: "Director Xu, please don't leave in a hurry. I still want to say a few words to you. You came all the way here, and I haven't thanked you yet."

The title changed from Xiao Xu to Director Xu. He had everything in his hands, but now he could only watch it slip away from him. The change happened too fast and he couldn't accept it.

Xu Damao originally wanted to leave immediately, but when he heard Father Ding's voice, he suddenly wanted to listen to what the old man wanted to say.

He then went into the ward again.

"Qiu Nan, please sit down for a while. I want to talk to Director Xu alone."

The mother and daughter didn't say much, but Ding Qiunan gave her father a look that showed some dissatisfaction.

After both of them left, Xu Damao poured himself a glass of boiled water.

I put it down after taking a sip. I'm used to drinking this tea, but I'm not used to drinking plain water.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Director Xu, I just want to ask, if your relationship with Qiu Nan didn't work out, will you still help us?"

Xu Damao:......

This person is so shameless.

"I don't have any benefit, why should I help you? Whether it's college or studying abroad, I can help, and people won't refuse me if I say so. When they come to me, I can't refuse them either. So you should also understand that no one will do something that has no benefit."

Ding Qiunan's personality needs to be carefully managed. No matter how much you help her, she won't be able to learn much. Let's wait until she takes the second exam next year. Unless there are unexpected circumstances, she will definitely fail.

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he looked at Ding's father's pocket meaningfully.

In his pocket was the Golden Elixir Pill given by Xu Damao.

Father Ding pretended not to see Xu Damao's eyes and continued speaking.

"Director Xu, you and my daughter Qiunan are a perfect match, I fully agree with you, and I also believe that you really like Qiunan. My idea is that since you have no feelings for your wife, it would be better to divorce her. By then, I will definitely be able to convince my daughter Qiunan..."

Xu Damao reached out to stop Ding's father from continuing.

"If it's still about this, then there's no need to talk about it. I won't get a divorce either. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

The reason I found Ding Qiunan was to cure this physical problem. There is no need to sacrifice the essential for the sake of the superficial.

Moreover, there would be no fun in marrying Ding Qiunan, who has a cold personality.

Father Ding's tone became more serious: "Then... Director Xu, are you attracted by my Qiunan's looks?"

This statement was very straightforward, almost like saying Xu Damao was a big gangster.

Dating without the intention of getting married is just a hooligan.

If you are married and you cheat, there is no problem in shooting you for hooliganism.

This was a fact that Xu Damao had already admitted, and denying it now seemed a bit guilty.
