At the beginning of the establishment of New China, the first group of old gentlemen opened a research direction at will, which was groundbreaking research, which was enough to attract the attention of the whole country, and at the same time, it could also make a person famous in an instant.

To put it more utilitarianly, it was an era when you could feed a large number of people by opening a random research direction.

Now, at least in the field of history, the field of modern history has reached the time of the second or even the third generation of scholars, and it is almost difficult for them to do groundbreaking research.

Because the disciplines that can be created have basically been created. And all they can do is work hard to fill in the gaps.

But the void is formed because it is difficult to fill, otherwise it would not have been left until now.

Scholars are also human beings and also need to eat, and at this time, a big gap suddenly appeared, which can accommodate a lot of people to enter a new research direction, which is a shot in the arm for the entire discipline of modern history, and it is no wonder that this academic seminar can allow so many scholars to participate.

The circle of scholars is nothing more than a circle carried by everyone in a sedan chair, you carry me, I carry you, and only then can we achieve a win-win situation. Even those who have academic contradictions may be able to quickly hold together when they really face external influences.

After all, the so-called academic contradiction can only be established by both sides, and if there is no contradiction, there will naturally be no more attention, and only with contradiction can a discipline be quickly expanded and more vital forces and resources can be attracted.

This is also one of the reasons why, many times in the academic world, several people have different academic views, even if they quarrel fiercely with each other, when they meet in private, they are very harmonious.

Because, even if there are academic contradictions, they also have the same interests.

"By the way, I remember that when Zhan Lao was lecturing in Huaqing before, he said that he would also come to this meeting, and he would make another part of his information public at the meeting." Li Xian said as he drooled as he looked at the barbecue that had just been grilled not far away.

"What? Elder Zhan wants to disclose another part of his information at this meeting? Hearing this, both Ye Xing and Liu Yan's faces suddenly became serious.

In this academic seminar, they naturally invited Zhan Lao, but they didn't expect that Zhan Lao would announce some of the information he had at this symposium.

This information is not the result of research, but the data that he has accumulated over the years, and has not been fully studied, and as long as this data has not become a research result, then it can be used by others.

Zhan Lao is already old, and it is reasonable to disclose the information, but he chose to disclose it at this academic conference, which is to give face to Huaihai University, or to Ye Xing, to put it bluntly, Zhan Lao does not know other people in Huaihai University, and the reason why he chose Huaihai University is also because Ye Xing's words at the beginning made him pick up this aspect of his thoughts again.

After hearing the news, Liu Yan and Ye Xing glanced at each other, and they both felt that the conference room arranged now was probably not enough.

"We can't stay here any longer, we have to go back and get the meeting done."

This time, it was really a shame to meet the two brothers of the Li family, otherwise they would not have known about this matter at all, and if the conference room was not big enough, it would be busy.

Seeing that Ye Xing and they were leaving, Li Du also wanted to follow him to visit Huaihai University.

Originally, there was still half a month before the day of the academic seminar, and it stands to reason that they didn't need to come so early, but their father wanted to visit some friends in advance, and the two of them originally thought they were meeting some experts in the academic world, but it turned out that most of the parents' elementary school classmates met and chatted with each other were some trivial things, and the two of them were reluctant to follow for two days, so they went around.

Li Du wanted to follow Ye Xing and the others to visit Huaihai University, but Li Busy was a little reluctant to go, and he hadn't visited enough of this food street.

However, Li Du dragged him and dragged him, and he took Li Busy away. He is also really for the good of his younger brother, after all, according to Li Busy's way of eating, he will soon be unable to stop it if he doesn't control three hundred catties.

So, on this day, on the campus of Huaihai University, there was an extra reluctant fat man with a face......

After arriving at the school, Liu Yan specially arranged for two members of the student union of the history department to visit the two brothers of the Li family, and she and Ye Xing went to rearrange the conference room work.

"You say, where is it better to arrange those experts and professors?" I didn't know that Zhan Lao was coming, so the conference room arranged by Liu Yan was not big.

"Let's arrange it directly to the auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of people, which is enough." Ye Xing proposed.

Although the number of people they invited was not large, according to Ye Xing's conjecture, I am afraid that there will be a lot of scholars who will come to Zhan Lao's public information this time, and when the time comes, people will come to participate in the conference at their own expense, and they will all be people from the academic world, so they can't help but let people participate.

"But in case, there are not so many scholars who will come to participate at that time, and the whole venue will be empty, isn't it too ugly." Liu Yan also thought about the Great Hall, but the Great Hall was too big, the two-story Great Hall was full of at least 2,000 people, and the scholars they invited were less than 100 people.

Ye Xing thought for a while and said: "In this way, arrange for the students to make a curtain in advance, and if there are not many people coming, use the curtain to put the second floor of the auditorium on the file, so that it will not look empty." ”

"That's a good idea." Liu Yan nodded and arranged according to Ye Xing's suggestion. Ye Xing was busy with him, and it was almost time to get off work.

After separating from Liu Yan, Ye Xing remembered that the Li brothers were still at school, so he hurriedly called the student union classmates who had been arranged before.

Hearing the response on the phone, Ye Xing was a little crying and laughing, these two brothers, visited, and finally visited the school cafeteria.

The cafeteria of Huaihai University is not bad, but any dish that can be called can be made here, so under Li Xian's soft grinding and hard soaking, Li Du still came with him in the end.

When Ye Xing arrived at the restaurant, Li Xing was feasting, and when he saw Ye Xing coming over, he was eating the food in his mouth, whining, and he didn't know what he was talking about, he should be greeting Ye Xing.

"I really didn't expect that you are Professor Ye Xingye." Unlike Li Busy who only cared about eating, Li Du stood up. Previously, their brothers didn't know Ye Xing's identity, they only knew that he and Liu Yan were both teachers here, and they just chatted with the student union who took them to visit the campus.

Ye Xing nodded with a smile on his face, and at the same time looked at Li Xian and said, "He eats like this, is it okay?" ”

Li Du replied helplessly: "With his body, if he continues to eat, I'm afraid it will be almost impossible to lose weight." ”

"With my figure, I grow meat even if I drink cold water." Li Xian just swallowed a piece of beef, and finally had a moment of free time in his mouth.

"I'm afraid, if you continue to get fat, it will be bad for your body." Ye Xing thought for a while, then took a few granular things and put them in Li Du's hand.
