Chapter 35ruo guaD from France
Nakamura Haosi left, and Pan Rong also left. Shen Furong and Wang Yirong were still studying those ancient books and porcelain in their room. Hu Chuyuan sat cross-legged in the room alone, drinking by himself, and quietly calculating the whole situation in his heart.
According to his observation these days, although there is no obvious improvement in the overall economic situation, even because of the leap forward in the past ten years, the political axe is heavily in debt, but one thing is that the political axe has done a very good job and is also ready for the rapid development in the future.
In 1872, Japan issued a new "Scientist System Order" and began to change to the Western education system.
Those who studied abroad in the early days have returned to China one after another and set up private schools and charity schools in various places. Although the situation is chaotic, schools use different versions of self-translated textbooks, but they have been able to cultivate new talents for Japan.
Mori Youli, Nakamura Tengshi, Fukuzawa Yukichi, Rokki Kyoren, Kondo Makoto, Shinjima Xiang... laid the foundation for university education respectively, and these people were later called the six educators of Meiji.
There are also international students in China who began to return to China around 1881, but stayed in various government offices as officials instead of using their own learning to provide education. This is probably the first difference between the two.
There are more than 6,000 Chinese doing business in Fuzhou, and there are also some young people like Pan Limei studying in the Japanese school, but they generally will not return to China.
A few years later, more than ten years later, they will live in Japan, marry and have children, and become overseas Chinese... until the outbreak of the war of invasion of China.
Japan is indeed a very important opponent.
We should not only defeat the Japanese version, but also climb up by stepping on the bones of the Japanese version. Only in this way can we become a real world power.
This is the understanding of Hu Chuyuan. He decided that no matter how short the funds were, he would take out a sum of money to set up a Tang Dynasty school in Tang Street to train Western talents for China.
The question he wants to consider is where this school is built?
......!
Hu Chuyuan was thinking about these things when someone quietly opened the door. Pan Limei did not come in and asked in a low voice outside, "Mr. Jin, my father asked you whether you want to go out to eat together or enjoy dinner alone in the room."
Hu Chuyuan had a lot of things in his heart. Thinking about it, he didn't go out to join in the fun. He said, "I'm just eating alone in the room. I don't want to go out!"
"I see, please wait a moment!"
After saying this, Pan Limei prepared outside for a while, and then came in with a low square table with some Japanese dishes and traditional sushi on it. Other maids came in with wine utensils and a warm kettle stove, and two bottles of sake in the basin.
The maid soon left. Only Pan Limei accompanied Hu Chuyuan to drink wine for him and drank one or two.
She couldn't drink much, and soon there was an intoxicating pink halo on her cheeks, all the way to her neck, and she was even more shy and cute.
Hu Chuyuan was still thinking about the school in his heart, so he asked her, "Have you ever read a book in Japan?"
Pan Limei nodded slightly and said, "I want to tell you that I have read in the Shangjing Women's Private School in Kyoto."
Hu Chuyuan said oh and asked, "What did you read?"
Pan Limei said: "There are traditional literary songs, tea ceremony etiquette, as well as English and Western natural disciplines and mathematics."
"That's it!" Hu Chuyuan was not only a little curious, but also asked, "As far as you know, how many young people are living in school?"
Pan Limei said, "Most of them study in Chinese-run private schools, focusing on classics and history, and also teaching some Western science with the changes over the years."
Hearing this answer, Hu Chuyuan was secretly happy and decided to recruit some of these young people.
Of course, if we only talk about Western disciplines, some church schools in Shanghai and Guangdong have more choices, but most of these people in Japanese life are proficient in Japanese, which has more space.
Then, Hu Chuyuan casually talked to her about natural science, and the result was not bad.
The quasi-modern education that is being formed is still powerful.
There is no doubt about this.After dinner, Pan Limei left decently and continued to let Hu Chuyuan think quietly in her heart.
The next day, Hiroshi Nakamura brought a group of people to receive Hu Chuyuan very early, and Pan Rong acted as a translator himself.
Xizhen is a street located in Kuromon Kaminagashicho, also known as Kuromoncho, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto. There are a large number of silk weavers here. In the early years, it was famous for the royal and aristocratic imperial weaving.
With the eastward migration of Kyoto, Kyoto's silk handicraft industry has declined rapidly, at least for now it has lost its prosperity and bustle.
In order to save the silk weaving industry in the west of Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture has joined hundreds of small weaving workshops here to establish the Westing company, jointly invested in the construction of a new Western silk reeling factory and dyeing factory, and purchased new machinery together.
The Nakamura family belongs to a relatively declining samurai family. In the middle and late Tokugawa shogunate, the family ran the silk weaving industry here. After three generations, it was a little famous. Hiroshi Nakamura was elected as the branch president of the Mumian Branch of the Nishijin Company.
At the first stop, they went to the kapok branch to visit Ruo Guade.
ruo gua de is actually a product of France's transition from manual machinery to large industrial machinery. It is all made of pig iron. It is heavy and covers a large area, but it can be done by one person.
Due to the long development in France, according to the accuracy of weaving, there are many levels of Ruo Guade, that is, "100", "200", "300"... The highest is 1,200.
The so-called "mouth" is the silk hole on the machine. The number directly determines the accuracy of the silk weaving, including the number of patterns, types, patterns, etc. If you reach 600 mouths, you can already exceed the effect of the air induced machine.
The main difference between Ruo Guade and the air yin yin ji is the efficiency, followed by the difficulty of promotion. As long as it is a few months of training, most weavers can master 400 to 600 Ruo Guade. Coupled with the appropriate drawing paper, the weaving results of these weavers can be compared with a small number of famous craftsmen.
After one to two years of experience, once the weaver begins to be proficient in using 1,200 pieces of Ruo Guade, its weaving process will be more exquisite than that of the air guide and the steam machine. In particular, the patterns and colors of the weave will be more complex and gorgeous, and the efficiency will be several times higher than that of the air guide.
That is to say, if Guard is more suitable for promotion and use in handicraft workshops, it can make a good transition to the era of large industrial silk weaving.
Of course, the Guade loom also has many shortcomings. First of all, it is expensive, and the lowest price of a single unit is at least $80; secondly, it is difficult to get started and requires a long time of training; finally, it needs paperprinting, and there is no one who can design paperprinting at present.
