If you have difficulties, it is common in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and the prince is no exception.

Unfortunately, William is currently in the inspection period, and a telegram for help can indeed solve most of the problems, but this also means that his assessment failed.

If you want to become a qualified monarch, you must first have the ability to deal with difficulties. Seeking help obviously cannot prove your ability.

Although the development of the Nanyang region is important, in Franz's eyes, it is obviously not as good as raising a responsible son.

As for colonies, if the economic development is slow, it will be slow. On the contrary, the economy is making rapid progress, so you need to worry about the big end.

After all, the biggest feature of the colonial system under the Shinra model is that it is particularly capable of fighting. If you have money and industrial system, it is difficult to ensure that you do not have ambitions.

In order to avoid this, the development direction of the colonies under Shinra was planned by the Vienna government from the beginning.

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

As for heavy industry and emerging technology industries, it is completely blank. There is nothing to buy from domestically, and there is no need to repeat development and waste resources.

In fact, there is no need for special restrictions. Without domestic support, the colonial talent reserves will not be able to convert to the technology industry at all.

With the formulation of overseas state strategies, the Vienna government's restrictions on colonies have also been reduced a lot, especially after the prince succeeded as the governor, he almost completely let go.

Unfortunately, the times have become different. The Second Industrial Revolution has come to an end and the threshold for industrialization has risen.

Every time I think of this, William envies his elder brother who went to Central America. Although he lacks talent, he can always dig up his hoe with him.

With his identity as a prince and Shinra's reputation, he is still very attractive to talents from all over the Americas.

Many times, even the actual price is not paid, and relying on blank checks can fool a large group of people to come and serve.

Although these people have uneven abilities and are far inferior to Shinra's local professional qualities, they are still "top talents" in the colonies.

By poaching, in just a few years, Austria has laid the foundation for industrialization in Central America.

In contrast, Austria is much more miserable. William wants to poach, but he really has no place to hoe!

Looking at the entire Asia, there is no industrialized country, including Japan and the Far East Empire, which have just taken the pace of industrialization and are in great need of talent.

Originally, William had high hopes for the Lanfang Autonomous Province, thinking that the economy here is good and there should be a good talent reserve.

In fact, the same is true. With the status of the prince, William was immediately popular after arriving in Lanfang.

After all, Shenluo did not fight for the throne, and the disputes within the royal family were very small. As a prince, he was either a prince or returned to his country to hold important positions.

No matter which situation, the future will be bright. If you go to the past, there is no risk at all.

Although I have lived a stable life for decades, the crisis awareness of the Chinese in Southeast Asia has not disappeared. The thighs that come to the door naturally have to lean up.

One of the local big families is counted as one, and they all sent their direct descendants to serve under William, greatly enriching the team.

They are indeed talents, but unfortunately they all went astray. If you look for economic talents and bureaucrats, you will be able to find a lot of people from the grassroots to the top.

If you want to play industrialization, you don’t have to rely on it. In this world where you value culture and over science and engineering, Lan Fang’s capitalists have to hire technicians from Shenluo.

Of course, there are not all technical talents, at least there are still basic industry workers.

Infrastructure projects such as roads and water conservancy can still be carried out with local talent reserves.

Therefore, since he succeeded as the Governor of Nanyang, William has basically launched projects around roads, water conservancy and other infrastructure.

There is no need to do it in person. To start a project, as long as a few children from a large family are appointed to take charge, craftsmen will come to you immediately.

I learned from Franz, and William never cared about how craftsmen came about, just looked at the results.

It is not possible to build a university, unless he wants to build a liberal arts school or a military school, otherwise the teachers will definitely not be able to get all together.

...

After hesitating for a while, Rodrieg replied carefully: "Your Highness, except for Professor Drake accepting your invitation, everyone else chose to refuse, but they recommended their students."

The facts once again prove that Ideal belongs to a few people. As the prince William personally wrote a letter to invite him, but he only invited one professor.

In a sense, recommending your own students is simply giving face to Prince William.

You should know that William's invitation letters were not sent indiscriminately. He did not make any achievements and had no fun in himself. He invited newcomers who needed opportunities in the professional field.

Unfortunately, only a few people really devote their lives to education and scientific research, most of them are ordinary people.

Those who can become professors are not young anymore. It is too embarrassing to let them leave their local comfort zone and go to overseas colonies to work hard.

Of course, these are not the most important things. The key is that the elites who are willing to leave the European continent have long been poached by the nobles in front of them.

Just look at the African continent, you will know that it is also a poor start. The local area already has more than a dozen professional universities and the quality of education is not low.

On the surface, these universities were all established by the Vienna government, but in fact they were more sponsored by local aristocrats.

Not only the sponsorship funds, but more importantly, the sponsors. In addition to the teachers who were poached from Europe, there are also some teachers who are directly children of local nobles.

This is also the national condition of Shinra. The German region has a tradition of attaching importance to education. The second generation of nobles with sufficient resources generally have higher education.

In contrast, the Nanyang region does not have it. It is not a waste of local aristocratic people. It is mainly because the development of the Austrian Nanyang was too smooth, and there were few noble lords who were enfeoffed.

As the base is smaller, the probability of science and engineering talents appearing is even smaller. Even if they appear occasionally, it is a treasure, and they have already arranged it.

"well!"

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

Influenced by Franz, several sons did not have the habit of venting their anger for no reason. The battle to grab people was staged in Shinra every day. Except for the identity of a prince, William had no advantage.

On this issue, don’t expect the nobles to give him face. Not to mention the prince, even if the emperor comes forward, he has to use his own means.

"Your Highness, it's not impossible to establish a university now. Although we have insufficient teachers in science and engineering, there is still no shortage of people in other fields. We can take the post after half a year of study in China.

Given the special circumstances of the Austrian Nanyang region, we do not need to establish universities according to domestic standards, and just downgrade them as technical colleges.

With Professor Drake and other students recommended by others, we can set up the science and engineering racks, and there is no problem in cultivating basic science and engineering talents.

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

If we want to increase our international influence, we can also offer basic military teaching and be famous for the Imperial Army, so we will not have to worry about not having international students to register.”

Rodrigue suggested.

Regardless of the quality of teaching, establishing the first university in Nanyang is a major political achievement. For William, who is in the assessment state, this political achievement is definitely a big plus.

Since it is a plus point, the bigger the momentum, the better. Although Shinra does not advocate internationalization of education, a university with international influence is also the icing on the cake.

Just so happened that Nanyang University caught up with a good time. Because of its geographical location, it naturally had an advantage, not to mention the bonus of Shenluo, which had a great influence on East Asian students.

If you have a thicker face, 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 stage of "foreign monks chanting scriptures". University of Tokyo is far less awesome than later generations, and its international status may not necessarily be as high as that of some technical colleges.

For the "Nanyang University" under construction, as long as it is gained from its popularity, it will be half completed. As for the issue of education quality, it can be gradually compensated later.

To put it bluntly, it takes several years to go to college. You can start classes while replenishing the faculty.

As long as the final graduate has the quality of qualified students, who dares to say that Nanyang University will not work?

William asked uncertainly: "You mean that the quality of teaching is insufficient, so you can make up for it with the quality of students. Is this possible?"

Although Rodrieg did not say it directly, he twice proposed "no shortage of students" which was obviously the best hint.

"Your Highness, a good school can also produce bad students, and a bad school can also have good students.

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

The textbooks and management models we use can be completely copied from domestic universities.

As long as the students we recruit are of good quality and are willing to study in depth, even if the faculty is lacking, it will not be harmful."

It may be a scam! After all, poor teaching quality does affect students' learning.

But in these days, it is very difficult to have a higher education opportunity. One more university means adding hundreds or thousands of opportunities.

The waves wash away the sand, so many students can always find gold. Don’t expect talent to appear, as long as some people can reach the domestic average level, or have a slight difference, it is considered successful.

After pondering for a while, William lit up: "Then put on the air first, I will communicate with the Ministry of Education to select a site for the school, and you will leave the teacher recruitment and follow-up publicity work.

If the Ministry of Education cannot send people with weight to serve as principals, I will go there myself. In order to ensure that the first enrollment can be completed smoothly, the momentum must be built."

The moral integrity of the world is never worth mentioning in the face of politics. William also worked hard for his political achievements, and even prepared to serve as the principal.

...

In Tokyo, with the arrival of representatives of the Tsarist government, the Russian embassy case entered a new stage again.

Under the strong suppression of the Japanese government, Tokyo finally returned to normal. Against the backdrop of organizers being sent to prison, the protests and demonstrations of Tokyo people have also ended.

...

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

As time goes by, more and more Chinese students are affected by the fish in the pond. Wang Decheng, the earliest unlucky guy, finally no longer lonely.

The more people involved, the greater the power of activities behind it. President Liu, who was originally only planning to tie the bridge and line, was eventually moved and became the lobbyist.

With his understanding of the Holy Roman Empire, President Liu clearly talked about whether the arrested student was wronged, which was meaningless.

If you want to ask for help, the best way is to benefit. It is too outdated to give gifts directly. With the moral integrity of the Shinra bureaucrats, you will never be cleaned and unworkable to gifts sent by strangers.

It takes a lot of time to operate in secret and bear the risk of exposure.

Neither the Chinese Association nor the President Liu himself can afford such a risk, even the favor behind it is very fragrant.
