The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Normal school, Xipu where students rest.

Bai Gui took the cold water and washed his face. The cold water was slapped on his face, and the dizziness of the hangover completely disappeared. Then he took off his suit, put it together with the suits of the three people he slept with, and sent it to Zhaifu, who managed the dormitory. , requesting it be sent to the dry cleaners.

Dry cleaning shops existed in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and there was a special dry cleaning market in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty - Indigo Lane.

When he left the penthouse and returned to the dormitory, he had a stack of new newspapers under his ribs. This was newly shipped from other provinces. A bound issue of newspapers arrived every ten days.

"Brother Bai, Mr. Fujino is here to see you."

Wu Huaixian also yawned and said.

After Bai Gui asked Mr. Fujino where he was, he went straight there.

"Bai Sang, that's great. When I was sipping tea in the morning, the mountain chief told me that your quota for studying in Japan has been confirmed and it is at public expense..."

"It's just a special reservation for five schools. According to the regulations, you have to take a test before going to study abroad..."

Fujino Hachiheiji was sitting in a pavilion in Xipu Garden, reading the newspaper. When he saw Bai Gui coming, he stood up and congratulated Bai Gui.

"Thank you Mr. Fujino for the recommendation."

Bai Gui also bowed slightly and expressed his gratitude to Fujino Haheiji.

During this period of time, Fujino Haheiji has been running around for him, for the purpose of studying abroad at public expense, but the effect is not very good. After all, Mr. Fujino is a man of few words, and the teacher's school just refused and said that he would have to wait and see, without making a decision.

But I didn't expect that I went to attend a Wu Mansion Salon, and when I came back, my place was confirmed.

Cultural salon?

correct! It must be inseparable from this cultural salon.

Bai Gui immediately came back to his senses. Priest Dun Chongli was willing to let him go to the university hall and apply for a place to study in England... During the meeting, Mrs. Wu Zhou Ying also expressed her appreciation for him and asked Wu Huaixian if he came back. If there is no hint, then it is certain that Wu Mansion must have played a role in this.

With all the efforts, the number of places to stay in Japan at public expense has been determined, which is a matter of course.

"Is it a special reservation for five schools?"

Hearing the second half of Fujino Haheiji's words, Bai Gui was stunned for a moment. Thinking of some of the matters concerning his stay in Japan that he had inquired about in the past few days, he finally understood.

The earliest students studying in Japan were in 1896, when there were only 13 students. In the following years, the number increased every year because under the same educational conditions, studying abroad in Japan is less expensive than studying abroad in other countries.

In "Japanese Theory", Mr. Dai said that with the same education level, Japan saves more than half of the money than Europe.

Three years ago, it was the peak of students studying in Japan, with the total number of people in Japan reaching 13,000. In the 32nd year of Guangxu's reign, the "School Official Journal" published detailed the number of places for students studying in Japan in each province, as well as the number of people going to various Japanese schools in Japan.

It's just... Compared with other provinces, Qin Province's finances are stretched thin, and the number of people studying in Japan is only 37. The highest number is Hubei Province, with 1,366 people...

This also includes public-funded students and self-funded students. The statistics are not complete. The number of students counted by the school department is only more than 5,000, but it can be seen.

As for the five-school plan, that’s interesting.

It was Yang Shu, the minister to Japan, who negotiated with Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture the year before last. It was planned that Japan's five schools would accept 165 Qing students every year. This plan ended in fifteen years. All students needed to enter through trial competition, but the funds were shared by each province. .

The provinces are divided into large provinces and small provinces according to the different funds they bear. Large provinces bear the tuition of nine people, while small provinces bear the tuition of six people.

Qin Province is a small province.

"Baisang is the capital of Qin Province, so it should be safe to participate in the five-school plan."

Fujino Hachiheiji talked for a while, feeling a little embarrassed, and said guiltily: "Bai Sang, I also asked the mountain leader to see if I could confirm the quota for other provincial schools, but the mountain leader said that the quota for this session has been basically determined. , except for this special five-school plan, there is no other way."

"Don't worry, Mr. Fujino, the five-school plan might be a good thing for me."

Bai Gui once again expressed his gratitude to Fujino Haheiji. It was good to be able to help him run errands and ask the mountain chief. Although the final determination of the quota was related to the Wu family's great efforts, there was no recommendation from Fujino Haheiji these days. This matter is still a matter of choice.

"And the special five-school plan, to me..., is not necessarily a bad thing."

Bai Gui smiled faintly and was very confident. The thing he was least afraid of now was the exam.

The five-school special program is to compete with students from all provinces across the country to study abroad. They are undoubtedly more qualified than those students who study abroad without taking the exam. Similarly, this is equivalent to him changing from a provincial faction to a national faction, but there are some differences in nature.

"Bai Sang, are you sure?"

Although Fujino Hachiheiji had confidence in Bai Gui's talent, he was able to learn Japanese in just one month, surpassing many students. However, compared with the geniuses all over the Qing Dynasty, this was inevitably a bit difficult.

"Mr. Fujino, do you know how long it took me to study the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Bai Gui asked rhetorically.

"I do not know about this?"

Fujino Hachiheiji looked puzzled. He thought for a while and said: "I heard that your private schools all start enlightenment when they are four or five years old. If Bai Sang can pass the provincial capital examination, he should become enlightened earlier. Now Bai Sang is Sixteen years old, that means I have been studying for more than ten years."

"Mr. Fujino can go and ask the school."

Bai Gui stood up from the stone bench in the pavilion and bowed goodbye to Mr. Fujino.

After Bai Gui left, Fujino Haheiji shook his head, with a puzzled look on his face. He had gotten along well with Bai Gui these days, and the friendship between the two was very good, otherwise he would have thought that Bai Gui was making fun of him.

He thought for a while, then went to the wing next to the lecture hall, asked Saifu and brought him the roster of Shiwuzai students.

The information on the roster is basically unprotected for lecturers. Apart from some brief introductions, there is nothing else.

Bai Gui's page is easy to find, it's on the last page.

"What? Only a few months?"

Fujino Hachiheiji was immediately surprised. He had also done some research on the Four Books and Five Classics. The education of Chinese studies in Japan began at a young age, but he was not proficient in it after studying it for so long.

Not to mention being able to win the first prize in a provincial capital full of talented people.

His hand holding the roster trembled a little, and it took a long time before he closed the roster.

"Mr. Fujino, I was also surprised when I learned about this, but since ancient times, there have been many geniuses like him."

Saio took back the roster and said to Fujino Haheiji.

"This... I also heard my brother say in Japan that when he was at Dongda University, he met a wizard, I think his name is Nan Xiong Nan. He has the ability to recite words by ear and is proficient in several languages... "

Not to be outdone, Fujino Haheiji held up the existing geniuses of Japan and said.
