Chapter 79 The University spends money like flowing water, asking for support
The fourth update! On the first day of Sanjiang, I still ask for collections, recommendations, and tickets for Sanjiang
The saying "dark under the lamp" seems to be very reasonable now. Just when the whole of Paris, no, the whole of France, was facing a formidable enemy, Napoleon III swaggered into the French diplomacy on the Quay d'Orsay, following Zhu Jishi.
Ministry building, and also with the French government's actual
The international controller shook hands - Marquis Guizot's eyes looked red. It was obvious that he had a sleepless night last night and must have been busy making arrangements to capture Napoleon III. I'm afraid he would never have thought in his dreams that this number one fugitive in France would
Have you ever stood opposite yourself?
The attention of the Marquis de Lacany, who was about to travel to China, was attracted by Zhu Jishi, a "member of the Chinese royal family." It was obvious that he was extremely interested in Zhu Jishi's identity. In the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs
In the hall, I held Zhu Jishi's hand and talked for a while, and finally took a photo with Zhu Jishi as a souvenir.
When Zhu Jishi offered to take Siwen Bai and Jones to Calais, Laxani agreed without hesitation and invited Zhu Jishi, Maria Clementina and Siwen Bai to share a car with him.
Carriage. As for Napoleon III, of course he was also mixed in with the mission's motorcade, and the whole journey was unobstructed - those French soldiers wouldn't search the French government mission's motorcade even if they didn't open their eyes, right?
"Sir Zhu, how are your preparations for your university in Hong Kong? Have you found all the teachers? There are several very knowledgeable monks among the members of the mission with me this time. If they cannot enter China to preach soon,
If so, you can let them work part-time in your school."
What Laxani said made Zhu Jishi smile bitterly and whispered: "Marquis, my university is just an idea now. It doesn't even have a basic school plan, and the funds for running the school have not been secured. A university plus
The cost of setting up an academy is more than 100,000 pounds, right? The annual operating expenses are estimated to be tens of thousands of pounds, which is difficult to support with my current financial resources."
"Well, well, it costs a lot of money to open a university." Marquis Lacheni glanced at Maria sitting next to Zhu Jishi and said in his heart: "The richest woman in France has been conquered by you, and you are still afraid
Don’t have the money to build a crappy university? As long as you wait for that old guy, Duke Segur, to die and then marry the Duchess of Segur, you will have everything! Why can’t this kind of good thing about wealth and wealth not be mine?
Woolen cloth?"
"Fortunately, my Jishi Bank is developing very well now..." Zhu Jishi thought about it and said: "In another two or three years, it should be able to support the school expenses of Jishi University and Jishi Academy. In addition, I also plan to establish a foundation.
, will solicit donations from Chinese businessmen.”
Zhu Jishi would never dare to think about relying on tuition fees to support the daily expenses of universities and academies. In China at the moment, the imperial examination is the right way to go. It would be great if there are people who can come to study in academies that teach Western learning, and most of the tuition will be free of charge.
.As for raising funds from businessmen, it is just talk. Those Chinese businessmen are rich and respectful to officials. Even if they want to run schools, they also run Confucian academies. How can they be willing to fund Western schools?
"Jason, don't worry about funding. I think we can start planning for the university now." Maria Clementina interjected softly.
"Uh, well, Maria, you are right, we should start making preparations as early as possible." Zhu Jishi said hesitantly. He thought to himself: "What does this Maria mean? Is she putting on a show to show Laxini, or does she really want to help herself?
Start-up with hundreds of thousands of pounds
The cost plus the annual operating expenses of tens of thousands of pounds is not a small amount. Even if Ségur is rich, he would not spend it like this? And Maria is a die-hard Bonapartist. Even if she had money, she would definitely give priority to sponsoring Napoleon.
The rebellion of the third generation..."
"Money is enough to run a school, but talent comes first. This time, the Pope has promised to send monks, and the French government has promised to provide help. Next, we should win the support of Prince Albert. He said last month
I have just become the president of the University of Cambridge, and it will be much more convenient if we can cooperate with Cambridge in running schools."
Maria Clementina continued to think about Zhu Jishi, and seemed to have a good trick.
Zhu Jishi thought about it for a moment and nodded. After all, Hong Kong Jishi University opened on the territory of the British. Although the British admire the freedom of running schools, they will not give up the opportunity to exert influence, so they will definitely get what they can get by joining the University of Cambridge.
More support from the UK government.
"Well, I am going to discuss this matter with Prince Albert when I return to the UK this time. In addition, Hong Kong Jishi University has a military academy, so we need the support of the British government in this regard."
"Military Academy!?" Bai Siwen, who was sitting in the carriage and pretending to be a fool, took a deep breath. Although he remained calm on the face, he was thinking in his heart. Isn't the Military Academy training officers? Zhu Jishi's fox tail finally
It's exposed! I'm afraid Jishi University and Jishi Academy are all just a cover. What we really want to build is this military academy!
He is a descendant of the Ming dynasty, and now he is a member of the Imperial Academy of England and France, and a British knight. He has also hooked up with a French duchess who has a fortune of at least 10 million taels. He already wants money and backing, and then he opened a military academy.
...I'm afraid that when the first batch of officers are trained, it will be the day to raise the flag against the Ming Dynasty!
I am afraid that this time the Qing Dynasty will be devastated again!
…
Zhu Jishi never thought that there would be an overseas loyalist of the Qing Dynasty beside him. However, even if he knew that Bai Siwen was a loyal person, he could not do anything about Bai Siwen now. Because after arriving in Calais, he and Bai Siwen would be separated temporarily.
, when we meet again, things have changed.
Napoleon III's escape plan turned out to be a smooth one. Although the Port of Calais was heavily guarded, the French diplomatic mission's fleet still made its way unimpeded and directly arrived at the dock. This time, the French diplomatic mission's fleet consisted of nine ships in total.
It consists of sailing ships, seven of which are French warships and two of which are armed merchant ships of Ji Shi Xing. The ocean in this era is not safe, and piracy activities are relatively frequent. Ji Shi Xing
The two armed merchant ships were loaded with wine, glassware and clocks worth 50,000 pounds - the wine and glassware were all from Segur Hong Kong Winery, a wine store jointly run by Jishi Bank and the Segur family.
, is the general agent of the wine brand owned by the Segur family in the Greater East Asia market. The clock was purchased by Bai Siwen with the 10,000 pounds given to him by Zhu Jishi, and he planned to give it away or sell it to the Qing Dynasty.
"Louis, should I call you Mr. Bonaparte or Mr. Durand?" Zhu Jishi pointed out the identity of Napoleon III with a smile on board the Segur family's sailboat.
"It's still Mr. Durand," Napoleon III held his hand on the side of the ship and looked at the land of France. "I have to disappear from people's sight for a while. This is to protect my friends."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Jishi and Maria Clementina. Now that the storm has not passed, the French government's spies will definitely search for the whereabouts of Napoleon III in France and Europe. If they find that Maria is responsible for Napoleon III's escape,
.Clementina and Zhu Jishi’s work, their property and relatives in France are in trouble.
"Jason," Maria Clementina suddenly interjected: "To avoid suspicion, we must live together for a while after arriving in the UK. I have villas near London and Manchester. In addition, Louis will temporarily disguise himself as Ji Shi
OK staff."
"Okay," Zhu Jishi nodded and continued: "Maria, I can agree to your request, but I also have two conditions."
"Tell me." Maria nodded with a smile, "Do you want me to sponsor your university?"
"No," Zhu Jishi said, "I ask you to be loyal to me when you live with me, and my relationship with Mrs. Dulan cannot be severed."
