Zhao Dongting was quite surprised, "I came here only last year, and I am so familiar with Chinese?"

Shukla said: "Because I started learning Chinese when I was in China, we have teachers who specialize in teaching Chinese!"

Zhao Dongting then realized it and was extremely happy.

This shows that the Song Dynasty's influence in the world has reached a certain level.

It depends on the influence of the country, not on military power, but on cultural output.

If we wait until when each country has a special Chinese teaching, even using Chinese as the official language, and then learning various cultures of the Song Dynasty and circulating the coins of the Song Dynasty, then the dominant position of the Song Dynasty can be said to be unshakable.

This is cultural integration.

This is like the process of the King of Qin sweeping Liuhe in the past.

Without unified coins, words, and burning books and burying scholars, I don’t know how many years the chaos in the Central Plains will last.

Then he asked again: "How did you think of coming to the Song Dynasty? And you didn't go back after graduation."

He seems to be very good at talking.

Kashgar, Sen and Shukla's answers are actually similar.

It was not beyond Zhao Dongting's expectations.

They came to the Song Dynasty and stayed in the Song Dynasty, all of whom wanted to learn the culture of the Song Dynasty.

And this mission is undoubtedly given to them by their family.

They have one thing in common: they have a good status in the family and are highly appreciated by the elders of the family, but they have almost no hope of taking over the position of their parents. Their family sent them to the Song Dynasty in the hope that they could achieve success in their studies and then go back to become the powerful arm of the successor's head.

Nowadays, the Song Dynasty is far ahead in terms of its political system and economic model.

After hearing them, Zhao Dongting asked again: "There should be many foreign students like you in Changsha, right?"

This time, Zhu Chengen rushed to answer and said, "It's not just a lot to go back to the emperor, but it should be said that there are a lot."

“Very much?”

Zhao Dongting said in a daze: "How many are there?"

He hasn't really paid attention to this issue.

Zhu Chengen pondered for a moment and said, "There should be no less than two thousand people in Changsha City alone!"

This is indeed a very amazing number.

You should know that with the transportation level of this era, it is not easy for people from other countries to come to the Song Dynasty.

Where do these more than 2,000 foreign students come from?

How far should the motherland between them be from the Song Dynasty?

God knows what hardships they experienced before coming to the Song Dynasty.

Even Zhao Dongting was surprised.

It turns out that before we knew it, the influence of the Song Dynasty had reached this level?

But what he didn't know was that many students actually came to the Song Dynasty after he announced the steam engine.

There are still many people with lofty vision in this world who can see the potential of steam engines.

Whoever starts learning the steam engine from the Song Dynasty first will be the country or force that will gain the most benefits from the steam engine after the Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Dongting did not think so.

Listening to Zhu Chengen's words, he was just thinking, what impact these more than 2,000 people will have on the world in the future?

What impact will their friendship with people like Zhu Jianian brothers in the Song Dynasty have on the Song Dynasty?

Even, will there be foreign spies among these people?

In fact, over the years, he gradually disliked things that could not be controlled, especially factors that might have an impact on the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention what future Zhu Chengen and others will have in the future, just now, they actually have a great influence in the Song Dynasty, because they may have influenced the decisions of their elders in some way.

The decisions of their elders are closely related to the future development of the Song Dynasty.

They are too close to these foreigners, which may not be a good thing.

Zhao Dongting was very willing to help these countries, but there was a prerequisite, that is, without losing the interests of the Song Dynasty itself. Of course, the top vassal states such as Ryukyu, Boni, and Ma Yi were different. The Song Dynasty really did its best to help them.

"Should we also restrict these 'international students'?"

Zhao Dongting thought to himself.

I don’t know what Kashgar, Sen and Shukla would feel if they knew what Zhao Dongting was thinking at this time.

Outside the window, a tide of cheers suddenly rang out.

A flower boat is approaching the shore.

Zhao Dongting stopped saying anything and looked out the window.

The location of this private room is very good, just across the street from the river. With the bright lights, you can fully see the situation on the flower boat.

With Zhao Dongting's eyesight, of course, he could see clearly. Even the playful little freckles on the flower boat in his eyes and the face of the maid who was sprinkling flowers could be clearly seen.

There was a courtesan sitting on the bow of the boat, without covering her face with a gauze scarf, and gently caressing her arms.

This is the No. 1 courtesan, and it is also the courtesan on Jinghu South Road.

Her flower boat is in the front.

Zhao Dongting had to admit that this courtesan is indeed very beautiful and has a weak temperament. His beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowning, as if he was pear blossoms were covered with rain.

Even if the one who can be elected as a courtesan is not the most beautiful person on Jinghu South Road, he will definitely be among the best.

The appearance of this courtesan is even no less than the charm of the 18th flower list.
