African Entrepreneurship Records Chapter 125

  Chapter 125 Rudolph's Changes

  The safety of drinking water is a major issue and cannot be neglected. Africans in previous lives would rather drink dirty raw water in shallow puddles than dig wells.

   There is really no special reason, it is a matter of conception. Perhaps Africans are more willing to believe in bacteria, and viruses are just a conspiracy of Westerners.

  After all, African blacks have been doing this for thousands of years, and they are still thriving. Even a terrible disease like AIDS is vulnerable to Africans.

  The two previous South African presidents openly declared that AIDS was not caused by a virus, but by poverty, which shows the ideas of Africans.

  You must know that the person who can be the president of South Africa is the most elite group of people in Africa. They are so anti-intellectual, the state of mind of the bottom-level African people who are keen on superstition and lack of knowledge.

  Maybe the power of AIDS is not enough, not as awesome as the Ebola virus.

  Of course, Ernst also feels that there is some truth to the conspiracy theories of African people and politicians. Looking at the horrible diseases in Africa, all of them broke out after the arrival of Western colonization (around 1950).

  Currently, the most terrifying disease in Africa and the disease that hinders European countries from developing Africa is "malaria". Compared with those incurable diseases, it is completely incomparable.

   Malaria can also be eliminated. This is not empty talk. Malaria was eliminated in China in the previous life (there were 30 million cases in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China). As we all know, malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes, and mosquitoes have not been eliminated.

  However, China has eliminated malaria through perfect planning and great determination. Even India, which suffers from malaria like Africa all year round, has suppressed malaria to an extremely low level.

  In the previous life, Africa was really a disease paradise, and malaria, an old virus in Africa, after a hundred years of development, not only did not weaken, but became stronger.

  So Ernst is convinced that Africa is really incompetent in terms of disease prevention. After all, there are many countries with the same latitude and the same environment as Africa, but none are as outrageous as Africa (except Haiti).

  Although the East African colony is a bit poor, it is still determined to fight the disease. Ernst is also keen to popularize science knowledge to the people in the territory. Of course it is okay not to listen, but dare not do it...

  Rudolph didn't have the enthusiasm he had at the beginning. Before, Rudolph was forced by Franz to accept the rigid and harsh royal education of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

  Although it is also very hard, it is nothing compared to the study arranged by Ernst. If the previous courses were hard work, now they are torture.

  The essence of exam-oriented education is like this, it is very tempering, anyway, the test papers and homework can never be finished.

   And these assignments will also be used by Ernst to the best of their ability and sent to the royal family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire for Queen Sophie and Franz to review.

  When a pile of test papers and homework was placed in front of them, they could never say that Ernst did not value Rudolph's education.

And according to Ernst's own inference, Franz may look at his son's educational achievements on the first day, but when the endless homework is sent to Franz in a steady stream, he will definitely not Take a second look at these assignments, and Ernst's goal will be achieved.

  Under the influence of Rudolph, there are more than a dozen students from the Hechingen Military Academy who suffer together, all of whom are relatively young.

  In order to create an educational atmosphere in his previous life, Ernst tried his best to restore the scene.

  When a person is unlucky, it is definitely painful and tormented, but when there are more than one unlucky person, or even when someone is more miserable than himself, he will gloat.

   It was about Rudolph. Ernst specially selected a group of geniuses with excellent grades and high IQ, and at the same time selected a few students with average grades.

  Because Rudolf studied in Austria earlier and learned a lot of content at the same time, his knowledge reserve is far superior to that of Hechingen students (Hechingen Military Academy has fewer courses and less knowledge points), so he was often praised in the early stage.

  But when those geniuses slowly accepted this knowledge, the gap between them and Rudolph decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.

   This put a lot of pressure on Rudolph, especially in the exams. Every time the scores were approaching extremely fast (the students of the Hechingen Military Academy had not been exposed to these courses before).

   "Rudolph, 97 points, this time your grade is still the first in the class, but the progress is not obvious, you need to work harder." Alfred Eisenbezer, the head teacher, said to Rudolph.

  Alfred Eisenbeizer was very interested in the educational method Ernst required, which was an improved version of compulsory education in Prussia.

  The difference is that there are endless assignments and exams, and the percentage system is adopted at the same time, but I don't have to explain all the questions and answers, I only need to explain the key points, and the other tasks are left to the students.

In other words, my responsibilities have not changed much, but the tasks of the students have increased several times. From Alfred Eisenbeizer's own experience, I am afraid that the amount of homework cannot be completed by himself, but these students have to complete it. , and they did it, and it's not high quality, but it's incredible.

   "Yes, sir!" Rudolph replied with a little nervousness while rejoicing.

   "Okay, take a good look at where your problem is?" Alfred Eisenbezer said.

   "David Zhang, 93 points, this time the score is very good, much improved than last time, keep working hard.

  Robert Jervis, 92 points…”

   "Jim Liu, 32 points, failed."

  Alfred Eisenbeizer said bitterly: "Jim Liu, you have to work harder? Otherwise, you won't even be able to see the back of your classmates in the future."

  Alfred Essenbeizer is a well-known teacher in Germany. To be honest, he rarely sees such a stupid student as Jim Liu.

   It would be fine if it was an ordinary class, but with Rudolph and many outstanding students as a foil, Jim Liu is not enough.

  Alfred Eisenbeizer really couldn't figure out why Ernst wanted to add so many weirdos to his class.

   There are other teachers who feel the same way as Alfred Eisenbeizer.

   None of these teachers knew Rudolph's identity, and Ernst had borrowed them with high salaries from other schools.

  So Rudolph and other students are treated equally, but Rudolph's excellent upbringing and relatively rich knowledge reserve (early education) made many teachers have a good impression of him.

  Those gifted students are also very popular with the teachers, and their learning speed is very fast.

   Students with poor academic performance are naturally treated differently by teachers. Some are very strict, some are more gentle and choose to persuade, and some simply give up.

Such a class similar to the exam-oriented education in the previous life was established in the Hechingen Military Academy. His learning content is far superior to other classes (after all, Rudolph has to accept many courses). At the same time, there are geniuses, ordinary people, and Poor Students.

  In addition to the teaching content, this class also communicates with other classes in the Hechingen Military Academy in the same way.

  Crown Prince Rudolph also opened up a new world because of this, made many friends, and met all kinds of people for the first time, and they were not the children of nobles in the past.

  The heavy academic tasks every day made Rudolph have no time to think of his family in Schönbrunn Palace, and even gradually forgot the conflicts between parents, the quarrel between grandmother and mother, and the serious face of his father...

In the dormitory and classroom, there are only classmates around Rudolph. Occasionally, Ernst will take Rudolph to the Prussian Royal Palace to meet and communicate with Crown Prince Frederick and others on weekends, and participate in some court activities, so as to prevent Rudolph from being pulled down. Noble etiquette.

  Although the current study life is even more tiring, Rudolph feels a joy that he couldn't experience at all before.

  Before, facing Franz's stern face and negation, Rudolph always felt inferior and felt like a waste.

But in Hechingen, Rudolph was praised from the heart by the teachers, and sometimes he was criticized because of the decline in grades. For the first time, Rudolph knew that he would make progress, especially hard work and seriousness can always make progress. results.

  The teachers' objective evaluation and the communication with the students made Rudolph feel that he was no longer just a future crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire who followed the route arranged by his father mechanically, but also a real person with self.

   Gradually, the smiles on Rudolph's face became more and more, and the once timid boy became more confident. He no longer blindly denied himself, but faced his own strengths and weaknesses objectively.

  At the same time, Rudolph learned to change his image between the court and the school. In front of the nobles in the court, he was the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with the manner and appearance of a nobleman.

  At school, he became an ordinary boy again, playing games with his classmates, joking and doing what he likes.

   Seeing the changes in Rudolph, Ernst was very satisfied. This is the demeanor and vitality that a sunny boy should have.

Sunday.

   "Rudolph!" Ernst stopped him.

   "What's wrong? Brother Ernst."

   "Boy, come here!"

   Rudolph came to Ernst obediently.

   "How is your life at school this month? Isn't it interesting?" Ernst asked with a smile.

   "The school is very good, both teachers and classmates are very good."

   "Then which do you think is better, staying in school or in Schönbrunn Palace!" Ernst deliberately dug a hole.

   "Both are very good. I also experienced a different way of life in Hechingen and grew up a lot." Rudolf avoided the trap.

   "Hehe, why didn't I see you laughing every day in Schönbrunn Palace, and it wasn't like that when you made dirty jokes in school." Ernst teased.

  Rudolph didn't blush, but said without a heartbeat: "You can't rely on white dirt to be innocent, I'm a good boy, how could I make dirty jokes."

"Now, have you learned to lie? Very good, but I have people watching you every day! Brat, you still want to lie to me. I know everything you say every week." Ernst gave Lu Dolph lost his mind.

   "Hiss...", Rudolph took a breath in pain after being hit on the head.

"It seems that you are about to leave the teacher, so now it's time for you to perform. Go to the photo studio with me tomorrow, and you will show the same appearance as in the Prussian palace. Do you know with confidence? Tomorrow, according to my Make arrangements," Ernst said.

  Although he didn't know what Ernst wanted to do, Rudolph nodded.

   "Okay, straighten your waist and be more arrogant!" Ernst commanded from a distance.

   "Excessive force, the arrogance I mean is extremely confident, you know, readjust the state."

   Rudolph stood in the manor, at the mercy of Ernst. Early this morning, the two went to the photo studio.

   Ernst asked the staff to bring the equipment to his manor, and at the same time changed Rudolph into a military uniform.

   I don't know where Ernst found a black steed and asked Rudolph to ride it.

   This horse is just a show. In order to make little Rudolph look taller, the pony is also underage. The final effect Ernst wants is to be handsome.

  After Rudolph adjusted again, Ernst looked left and right to observe, and said with satisfaction: "Very good, the photographer will start shooting!"

   "Click", the photo of Crown Prince Rudolph is ready.

   A few days later, Schönbrunn Palace.

  In the photo, Rudolph is riding a group of black horses, looking majestic, with a trace of determination and confidence on his immature face.

   Queen Sophie was very satisfied with the photos sent by Ernst.

   "Frantz, do you think my grandson has the temperament of the future emperor of the empire?" Queen Mother Sophie asked.

   "Half the temperament of my youth." Franz said boldly.

The Queen Mother Sophie didn't think much about it, she focused all her attention on the photo, and then said: "It seems that Rudolph has had a good time with Ernst, and he has become much more energetic. I heard from Ernst that Rudolph is used to the recent For the teaching methods of several teachers, it is better to continue to receive education in Prussia, and send Rudolph over at the end of the year."

   "Mother, isn't it too long!" Franz said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? I think Ernst is better at educating children than your brothers. You are unreliable, especially Ferdinand (Maximiliano I), who hasn't come back after so long, Kaka Linna hasn't seen him for many years!"

Queen Sophie went on to say: "Look at others, Ernst will send back Rudolph's situation every week, and the homework and exam papers weigh dozens of catties. You, a father, still swore He said he wanted to check his son's studies, but he gave up the next day!"

"Look at my grandson, how healthy he is now, he looks much fatter than before, he is in good spirits, and he has not stopped studying. I heard people who have been to the Prussian royal family say that seeing Rudolph, I feel that the whole temperament is better than before. !"

  Anyway, the Queen Mother Sophie became more and more satisfied the more she looked at it. This was the effect of Ernst's packaging of Rudolph.

  At present, Ernst does not plan to return Rudolph in a short time. Therefore, in order to reassure Queen Mother Sophie, he naturally reported the good news but not the bad news, and tried his best to show his educational "achievements".

In his previous life, Ernst knew that "impressions" can be engraved in a person's heart as long as they accumulate over time. Ernst sent messages to Schönbrunn Palace every day to let Queen Sophie know what his grandson learned and did today. , how is the performance.

  Anyway, it's just a constant hint, Rudolph is doing very well, don't worry and stay with me!

   Ernst is not afraid of cheating, everything he says is a hint, and naturally he will not use false information, at most it is exaggeration.

  As Ernst's experimental product, Ernst didn't want to return Rudolph so early, otherwise, the Austrian royal family would have lost Rudolph's character, and it would be a waste of work.
