$99, Interest Club

Cutting off pigtails caused quite a stir in Yigao and the embassy in Japan.

But it was finally calm.

It also made everyone respect Bai Gui more. Although the embassy would not deal with this matter according to common sense, as the deputy minister, Bai Gui could be said to have resisted the pressure from the embassy, ​​which is worthy of praise.

"Bai Sang handles things in an orderly manner. In time, he will definitely become the mainstay of your country."

When Bai Gui went to the first high school student department, Tohei Saburo said.

What he said is not wrong. After overseas students graduate and return to China, no matter how they mess around, they will not be too bad. Especially prestigious overseas students like Bai Gui will be entrusted with important responsibilities once they return to China.

Their Japanese students also know this.

Idiots like Hirano Mouta are in the minority after all!

Making friends is common sense!

Just like when Zhu Liankui went to Amei to perform tricks in Kenya, in order to circumvent the Chinese Exclusion Act, he also called himself a royal family and wore a three-clawed python robe. The royal family is definitely different from the common people. Foreigners discriminated against Qing people, but foreign civilians would never be confident enough to discriminate against the Qing royal family...

"Brother Dongping, you're welcome. Your father is also a senior official in Nara County..."

Bai Gui shook hands and smiled modestly.

"I am the third son in the family. The family's property has little to do with me. Unlike in your country, the second son can also get a lot of money and even the family business."

Saburo Tohei's words were quite helpless.

"Those people are destined to be eliminated, and they will be left with nothing to gain..."

Bai Gui raised his eyebrows. Speaking of this, he must have something nice to say to Saburo Donghei.

This involves Dongying's property inheritance law at this time.

According to regulations, it is the eldest son of the family who inherits the property and reputation, so those who go to Tokyo or various colleges and universities to study are basically the Jiro (Jiro), Saburo and others of the family. Basically, you will not see Taro and Daro studying. , they are all required to inherit the family business at home.

When the first day arrived, the names written on the business card given to Bai Gui were basically Jiro and Saburo.

Hearing these words, Donghei Saburo was very happy.

People all like to hear good things.

Even though I know that no matter how hard I work, I can't compare to the family fortune that my brother inherited, but these words sound a lot nicer and more comfortable to hear, don't they?

The two continued to talk, and after a while, some ministers from the student department came over. The three departments of the first high school each had their own ministers. There were fourteen people in total, including Bai Gui, there were fifteen.

"The seniors from Dongda University came here a few days ago and asked us freshmen to choose to join major interest clubs as soon as possible. You will go back and inform the students in each department later..."

"Which interest club you want to join, make a note of the list."

Minister Fujiwara Yata glanced at everyone present and said slowly.

Interest clubs are divided into big clubs and small clubs. The big clubs must be flocking to them, while some small clubs are unattended, so statistics can be distributed easily. If there are too many people signing up for any interest club, some will be filtered out and selected. Enter the small club.

"What kind of clubs do you have?"

These Japanese freshmen had just graduated from ordinary middle schools, and there were many country folk who had never heard of anything like a hobby club. At this time, Japanese interest clubs were still a new thing. During the shogunate period, bushido, calligraphy, painting, ikebana, etc. were also learned by the upper class, especially bushido warriors. Ordinary civilians were only allowed to wear one sword. On the body, a samurai is allowed to have two swords and one rib.

"There are kendo clubs, judo clubs, flower arrangement clubs, tennis clubs, literary clubs, photo clubs, bicycle clubs, volleyball clubs, etc..."

Minister Fujiwara gave an example.

"The Kendo Club and the Judo Club invite real surviving samurai from the shogunate period to give lectures on kendo. Judo, flower arrangement clubs, literary clubs and other interest clubs will also associate with girls' schools. I don't need to explain the benefits."

He smiled.

Everyone showed a knowing smile.

Bai Gui also understood.

At this time, there were no girls enrolled in the first high school, so it goes without saying that these teenagers were excited when they heard that they could join the all-girls school by joining the hobby club.

Japan’s Education Order of 1879 stipulates: “In schools, men and women are not allowed to study in the same room, but there is no problem for men and women to live in the same room in primary schools.”

However, there are also specially established women's colleges and universities in Japan, which specialize in teaching "women's important matters" such as "the way of self-cultivation, the art of advancing and retreating, the key to housekeeping and economics, and the method of raising children." For example, Dongying Girls' Normal School has been established for more than ten years.

However, most girls' schools are very similar to those in the Qing Dynasty. They are also missionary schools.

The reason why there are many female students in church schools is because most of the teachings in church schools are doctrines, Bibles and the like. No one with a little bit of money would go to a missionary school, so missionary schools could only admit poor people and women. They would be admitted to missionary schools, and they would be provided with food, accommodation, and money.

After Minister Fujiwara finished speaking, the meeting adjourned and Bai Gui was asked to stay.

"Brother Meihe."

He opened his mouth, considered his words for a while, looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Sorry, you don't have the kendo club, judo club and other hobby clubs in Dongda..., no, I mean, those samurai I won’t teach you martial arts.”

"The difference between doors?"

Bai Gui replied.

Japanese people will learn "Chinese Studies" from elementary school, so some idioms are also familiar to them.

"Yes, that's what it means. As long as you can understand it."

Minister Fujiwara walked to the entrance with a book under his arm, paused again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and left.

Back to the dormitory.

Bai Gui's dormitory is in the same building as the dormitories of other Japanese students.

"What? They are too much!"

"Difference between families! These Japanese pirates are really shameless. Why didn't they mention the difference between families when they sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty? Why are they talking about the difference between families now?"

Some people said angrily.

They were very angry in their hearts. When they just started school and enrolled students, Bai Gui quoted scriptures and damaged the unity of these Japanese people. Unexpectedly, he had no intention of correcting his mistakes. He only apologized verbally without any sign of repentance.

"Brother Hefeng, stay calm and don't bother with them. All small families are like this!"

"Japan is an island country, England is also an island country, island countries are so narrow-minded, Japan's so-called education is also learning from England, what is the education that the Englishman Bacon said, saying that it is necessary to educate gentlemen and cultivate gentlemen, but England can start as pirates..."

Bai Gui sneered a few times and comforted the angry Japanese students.

When everyone heard Bai Gui's disparagement, they nodded in unison, and they felt much more relaxed. Arguing with narrow-minded islanders shows that they have no cultivation.

The educational thought of Japan at this time is "Spencer's Education Theory". The so-called Spencer is Spencer, Spencer is an Englishman, and his educational views also absorbed some of Bacon's views.
