An apprenticeship banquet turned into a symposium, and it was not until about three o'clock in the afternoon that Gu Hongming stood up with a cane, and this temporary symposium ended.

Zhuang Yan didn't prepare dinner for them, but he still symbolically kept it.

Most of the people present lived in Yanjing, and only Liu He and Duan Qirui came all the way from Jinling.

Originally, Zhuang Yan wanted to arrange a place for his teacher and them, but Liu He said that they finally came to Yanjing, so they naturally wanted to visit their old friends, so they didn't need him to arrange it.

In fact, Liu He didn't have many old friends, and the more familiar ones also came to the banquet. On the contrary, it was Duan Qirui, who used to have a lot of subordinates and bosses in the army, so he just took this opportunity to take a look.

Ren Weimin was dizzy, but in the end he got the original of "Iron Cloud Hidden Turtle" from Liang Qichao.

The two manuscripts were packed in a box, and although Ren Weimin was particularly curious about Zhuang Yan's new book, they resisted the urge to open it.

Ren Lian was behind her father, looking at the other manuscript of "Sophie's World" in the box, her eyes were very hot, and she even thought how good it would be if this manuscript was given to her by Zhuang Yan.

When the tea sent by the guests was good, Zhuang Yan turned around and found Lian Liwen and Yu Zhongqing, who he had deliberately left behind.

Lian Liwen brought Yu Zhongqing over just to open the back door for Zhuang Yan, if they were allowed to leave, wouldn't it be in vain.

At this time, there were not many people in the hall, and the rest were Liang Qichao, Ma Yinchu, and those who often mixed with Zhuang Yan, as well as his agent Yao Qian.

"Zhuang Yan, even the elder has already told me about you. ”

As soon as a group of people sat down, Yu Zhongqing said straight to the point.

Zhuang Yan felt his dryness, and said with a smile, "Then I don't know what Minister Yu's opinion is?"

Yu Zhongqing said with a smile, "I think this is a good thing, now in our country, whether it is primary and secondary schools or major universities, the teaching level is uneven." In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state was in urgent need of talents from all walks of life, so it encouraged non-governmental institutions to apply for universities. The good side of this policy is that in just a few years, there have indeed been many more schools, which has greatly enriched the country's educational resources. However, there are too many private schools, and many of them are not very good, and a large number of them have been eliminated over the years. ”

Of course, there are still some things that Yu Zhongqing did not say, and this policy at that time was actually suspected of coaxing private enterprises to make money. Wide entry and strict management led to the closure of a large number of private schools, but the infrastructure of private schools is still there, and the state took over at a relatively low price at this time, and borrowed chickens and eggs to change to public schools.

However, with Yu Zhongqing's identity, it is naturally impossible to explain this matter clearly.

"Minister Yu, I naturally know what you said, otherwise I wouldn't have moved the idea of running my own school. Please also rest assured that if I want to run a school, I will definitely devote my whole life to strive to do my best. ”

Seeing that Zhuang Yan made a guarantee, Yu Zhongqing said with a smile, "Actually, if you want to run a school, it's very simple, there are many private schools that are about to be unable to run, and the country doesn't have much energy to take over this mess now, you can choose one from the middle to take over, and don't go through all kinds of procedures." If you can't pick out these schools that you are satisfied with, you can also find a place by yourself, but the time should be a little slower, as for the procedures, you can rest assured, we will give you the green light. ”

In fact, to run a school, Zhuang Yan didn't need to find Yu Zhongqing, the big Buddha, he went to find a private school by himself, it was just to spend some time talking.

However, since Yu Zhongqing was found, resources cannot be wasted, the Ministry of Education has the information of colleges and universities across the country, so it naturally knows the situation of each school, and taking the path of the Ministry of Education will save a lot of time when talking, and it is estimated that it can also save a lot of money.

Now that Yu Zhongqing has mentioned it, Zhuang Yan also hit the snake and said, "Then I don't know if Minister Yu has a good school introduction?"

Yu Zhongqing pondered for a while, then laughed, pointed at Zhuang Yan and said, "You kid, it seems that you don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles." In the past two months, there have indeed been many private schools that have been unable to operate for various reasons, and have sought help from the state, hoping that the state can take over, but there are too many of them, and the state cannot take over. However, there are several schools with very good basic conditions, and these schools with good foundations have been singled out and the state is ready to take over. But since you mentioned it now, then I'll open a back door for you, and if you have a crush on whichever one, I'll give it to you. ”

Of course, Zhuang Yan didn't believe what Yu Zhongqing said, it is estimated that the country is now a little nervous in all aspects, and it doesn't want to invest too much in the expansion of educational resources, so even if there are schools with very good conditions, the country must think twice, otherwise it will not be the past two months, and the problems of these schools have not been solved.

But Zhuang Yan didn't care at all, he asked Yu Zhongqing, just to make it convenient, with a ready-made list, he didn't need to look for them one by one.

"Then thank you Minister Yu. Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

Yu Zhongqing waved his hand and said, "No need to thank you, this is all within the scope of work." I'll find someone to connect with you when I get back, show you the information of these schools, and if you're satisfied, just give me a reply. At that time, you can connect with the school through our department, or you can go directly to the school yourself. ”

The school matter is probably over here, Zhuang Yan wanted to keep them here for dinner, but Lian Liwen and they politely refused.

After sending Lian Liwen and Yu Zhongqing away, Zhuang Yan saw that the matter was half resolved, and he was in a good mood, and said to Liang Qichao with a smile, "Why don't we continue at night?"

"Naturally, I want to continue, and I drank half a day at noon, and I was not happy at all. ”

When Ma Yinchu and them were drinking at noon, they had just started drinking, and they were pulled by Gu Hongming and them to hold a symposium, and the wine was not over yet.

Liang Qichao said with a smile, "Okay, I'll arrange it in the evening, today's banquet is organized by Ziyan, I already feel very embarrassed, and I will definitely show my heart in the evening." ”

A few people made a decision, and when they saw that it was not early, they were ready to leave, and they would definitely not be here for dinner at night.

However, when they just walked to the door of the hotel, they were stopped by a group of reporters from Wuyang.

At the beginning of the banquet, these reporters were invited to the outside hall by the hotel, and they have been on guard from noon until now. Zhuang Yan didn't send them out before, and they didn't know that these reporters were waiting outside.

When the reporters saw Zhuang Yan and them come out, they were like flies seeing meat, carrying long guns and short cannons.

"Zhuang Yan, I heard that your new book is about to be released, the title of the book is "Sophie's World", is there such a thing?"

"May I ask what is the meaning of this title, is this Sophie a girl?"

"Is this book a book of romanticism? As we all know, some time ago, many places asked you to help them write a book to promote it, is this book written because of this?"

"May I ask how much money you charged for this book, and where did you write it?"

"I heard that there is a new narrative in this book, called metalanguage, can you tell us what metalanguage is?"
