002 A good job to get by breaking the head

(The new book is updated twice every day, brothers will read it alive. When the "Expedition to Europe" is completed, this book will be accelerated. Let the brothers read it happily at that time - forgive me, and I also need the new book: I need the support of my brothers, please collect it, please recommend it, and all kinds of things -)

It’s true that Zhan Juancheng is one of the American schoolchildren who went to the United States with Li Mu.

Zhan Tianyou in the 21st century can definitely be regarded as a celebrity in modern Chinese history. The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, with Zhan Tianyou as chief engineer, is the first railway trunk line designed and constructed by the Chinese people themselves. It is a glory for the Chinese people and the Chinese engineering and technical circles, and it is also a victory for the Chinese people's anti-imperialist struggle in modern Chinese history.

Well, Li Mu was just thinking about it and did not admire Zhan Juancheng much. Zhan Juancheng, who stood in front of Li Mu, was just an eleven or twelve-year-old child. Perhaps because he had a cold these two days, although Zhan Juancheng stood beside him and did not speak, he would sniffle afterwards, and the noise was quite loud. Such Zhan Juancheng really couldn't be admired.

"I, Chen Liqiu, follow the emperor's decree to serve as a member of the student committee member of the United States. Since you have boarded the boat, you must study hard, forget to eat and sleep, learn the skills of the Americans as soon as possible to repay the emperor's kindness--" Chen Liqiu talked endlessly, talking about Li Mu's loyalty to the country, completely without considering whether Li Mu could bear it.

If Chen Liqiu wrote eight-legged essays, he would probably be a good person, but he did ideological work at all. What does "get on the boat" mean?

It really makes Li Mu feel like he is on a "pirate ship".

"That--" Li Mu was a little dizzy by Chen Liqiu's language bombardment and had to interrupt Chen Liqiu's words.

Chen Liqiu is indeed very well-educated. Although he is dissatisfied with Li Mu's interruption, he can still shut up calmly.

"——May I ask the committee member, why am I on the boat?" Li Mu decided to turn the tables and could not let the old man Chen Liqiu take control of the situation.

Mr. Member - This title is a bit inappropriate, but Chen Liqiu had no intention of pursuing it. After hearing Li Mu's words, the embarrassment on Chen Liqiu's face flashed.

"You accidentally hurt your head when you got on the boat, so you can't remember what happened before, but it's not your fault. What you need to think about now is how to study hard, forget to eat and sleep, and learn the skills of the Americans as soon as possible to repay the emperor's kindness--" Chen Liqiu took the initiative to make excuses for Li Mu, and immediately began to talk endlessly.

It's so magical. Others traveling through time are trying every possible way to find excuses to prove that they have lost their memory. When they come to Li Mu, they completely subverted it. Chen Liqiu didn't give Li Mu a chance to speak at all, and he also found a perfect excuse for Li Mu. Li Mu was speechless.

"But - I still remember what happened before, I just don't remember how to get on the ship-" At the critical moment, Li Mu's programmer's instinct began to make trouble again.

This is not a witch. The more Chen Liqiu wanted to avoid it, the more Li Mu had to figure it out. Li Mu felt very keenly that there must be some articles here.

Sure enough, seeing Li Mu grasping this point, Chen Liqiu's eyes finally began to dodge. The old man stammered and turned around and left after saying a few words, which made Li Mu stunned.

It doesn’t matter, there are people, people like Zhan Juancheng cannot be ignored.

Li Mu tried hard to squeeze out a smile to Zhan Juancheng and make himself as harmless as possible: "Zuncheng, you must know what's going on-"

Zhan Juancheng had no demeanor of a future chief engineer at all. He blinked at Li Mu, sucked his nose hard, then turned around and ran away.

Li Mu was so angry that he ran so fast in a robe. What kind of chief engineer is your real destination?

As soon as Zhan Juancheng left, someone knocked on the door lightly.

Who is so civilized?

Li Mu was about to speak when the door was pushed open.

Well, this is not a very civilized one either.

This time I came in with a western hole, about 1.8 meters tall, with deep eye sockets, high cheekbones, red eyebrows, green eyes, beard, big and thick, with a bodyguard face, but a medicine box in my hand, and it was actually a doctor.

It seems that this is what Chen Liqiu called "Doctor Mike".

"Hi, my friend, I heard you are awake. How do you feel now?" Mike greeted him a little familiarly, put the medicine box in his hand on the table, and stood by the bed with his arms around him and looked at Li Mu with a smile.

"Not really, it's terrible-" Li Mu replied casually.

"God-God." The big and thick Mike was stunned. It seemed that he had no hope of getting a response from Li Mu when he spoke just now.

It's no wonder that Mike speaks English and didn't expect Li Mu to get a response from him. These days, few Qing people know English. A few of them are doing Westernization in the Zongli Yamen. Li Mu is now in a state of eleven or twelve years old. Such a child can actually speak English? It's amazing.

"God said you should do something now - I have a great headache, and I also want to drink some water." Li Mu ignored this seemingly unreliable doctor and made a request on his own.

The patients are always older, so Mike immediately poured water in a hurry, looking at Li Mu with a surprised look. After a while, he suddenly realized: "Oh oh oh, you went to church school, right?"

Church schools, which are schools opened by Christians in the Qing Empire in order to spread doctrine. There are many similar schools in the Qing Empire. As long as there are Chinese people who are willing to go to school, these schools will be accepted for free, including food, accommodation and distribution.

It sounds very good, right? But in fact, few people choose to go to church schools, and more people choose to go to private schools to learn traditional Chinese culture. Only those unpopular children at home, or poor families who cannot even get enough private schools to live, will send their children to church schools.

The same is true for the Qing government's selection of school children studying in the United States this time. This is the first batch of international students sent by the Qing government. The real food, accommodation and distribution are the standard ruling class as long as they return from their studies. In the 21st century, they will definitely be a stolen one.

As a result, in this era, the "Children's Studying Bureau" set up in Shanghai recruited a total of 30 school children studying in the United States. In the whole month, only one person was recruited in Shanghai, the largest city in the Qing Empire. In the end, he had to travel to Guangdong, so he barely gathered up 30 people.

Even these thirty people still had trouble - another one ran away before boarding the boat.

Selecting young children to study in the United States was a major event in the Qing Empire. It was personally promoted by Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang. Needless to say, the two of them had their reputation in the Qing Empire. Although Zeng Guofan had passed away half a year ago, Li Zhongtang was at its peak now, and the list of the first batch of school children to go to the United States had been reported to Emperor Tongzhi for reading. If this matter goes wrong, no one will be able to afford the entire "Children's Studying Bureau" so that Li Mu's impostor was replaced.
