Since ancient times, party struggles have always been reasonable from the beginning, and even the leaders of the two parties are good friends. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But if the fundamental contradictions between the two factions are not resolved, this struggle will expand, and eventually lead to the complete and indiscriminate denial of the other side.

Historically, what is the "Cai Li Party Dispute" of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China?

Chang Kaishen couldn't come out to coordinate, so he could only serve as Cai Yuanpei's person as the Minister of Education this term, and Li Shizeng's person as the next minister. But it still doesn't work, I always feel that the side that is the minister of education is deliberately making things difficult for me at work.

In desperation, Chang Kaishen had no choice but to serve as the Minister of Education himself, appointing people from the two factions to take turns as deputy ministers.

On the evening of the end of the meeting, Li Shuhua came to visit and hugged his fists and said: "President Zhou, there was a misunderstanding during today's meeting, please don't care." ”

Zhou Hexuan looked at the scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone knows my hobbies, Mr. Shi Zeng's Mobao?" ”

"Exactly." Li Shuhua said and opened the scroll.

There are two lines of poetry written on it: the jade test should be burned for three days, and the material must be judged for seven years.

There are four last lines in the original poem: Zhou Gong is afraid of the rumor day, and Wang Mang is humble and not usurped. Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life?

Li Shizeng obviously compared himself to Zhou Gong in the education circle of the Republic of China, and regarded the criticism and attacks on him from the outside world as rumors. He asked Zhou Hexuan to wait and see, and evaluate him in a few years, and everything spoke with practical actions.

As one of the "Four Elders of the Party-State", Li Shi once wrote poems to express his attitude, which was enough to give Zhou Hexuan, a junior, face.

The main reason is that Zhou Hexuan is not a faction, and he is still famous, Li Shizeng didn't want to offend him for no reason.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and asked, "What else does Mr. Shi Zeng have to say to me?" ”

Li Shuhua took out another list and said, "Principal Zhou, please take a look." ”

Zhou Hexuan took it and took a look at it twice, and found that it was the list of deans of various colleges in the Beiping University District. Li Shi once assigned Zhou Hexuan the position of vice president of Peking University, which was equivalent to the deputy director of the Education Department of Hebei (including Beiping and Tianjin) in later generations.

This can be regarded as an apology to Zhou Hexuan in disguise, and it is also a means of political co-optation, hoping that Zhou Hexuan will understand and support the establishment of the Beiping University District.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "I'll take Mobao, please take the list back." ”

He meant to accept Li Shizeng's apology and was willing to reconcile with Li Shizeng, but he did not support the establishment of the Beiping University District, let alone accept the appointment of the deputy director.

If you think about it, even if Zhou Hexuan agrees to be the deputy director of education, his side and subordinates are all Li Shizeng's people, and he has no right to speak, and he can't do anything except receive a monthly salary, what is this kind of official to do?

Li Shuhua asked puzzledly: "Principal Zhou, why do you oppose the independence of education?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "You can tell Mr. Shi Zeng that I am not against educational independence, what I am against is blind reform." ”

"Do you think it's time for blind reform?" Li Shuhua asked.

"To be honest, yesterday I met with Hu Shi and read a lot of documents related to education reform, and the situation was very bad," Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile, "I admire the spirit of all education reformers very much." In order to plan the education reform, some gentlemen even worked overtime for several months in a row, with only four or five hours off a day. No one will question this kind of patriotism and love for education. But what about ......"

Li Shuhua asked, "But what?" ”

"But this kind of reform is bound to fail," Zhou Hexuan analyzed, "First, the content of education reform is self-contradictory. The purpose of the reform is to be independent in education, but the content of the reform is based on the education of the Three People's Principles. Isn't this tantamount to pursuing party-oriented education while making a fuss about independence, and setting up resistance to reform on oneself? Second, two months ago, the National Education Conference was held for half a month, and the core content was to discuss the independence of education funding. But where does this education funding come from? 10 to 30 percent of the state's budget is required to be spent on education. If you want the government to pay for it, and you still have so much money, but you don't let the government interfere in management, who wants to give you the money? If education funding cannot be independent, what kind of educational independence can we talk about? Third, the university district system is not in line with China's national conditions. France's territory and population are divided into 17 university districts, while one or even several provinces in China have only one university district, forcibly merging the original multiple universities into one, and its huge scale can be imagined. In addition, the larger primary and secondary education is also under the control of this university district, can you people manage it? Administrative efficiency is bound to be low! The various contradictions arising from the merger of colleges and universities alone are enough for you to have a headache for several years, and the problem of grassroots education cannot be dealt with at all! ”

Zhou Hexuan said it very thoroughly, and Li Shuhua was instantly worried about the prospects of education reform after thinking about it. But he still said stiffly: "There are certainly contradictions in reform, and we must be firm in our determination to overcome these difficulties." If education cannot be independent, then the bureaucrats who manage education will probably not have studied for a few days, the layman will guide the insider, and corruption will prevail, and the education system will be in a miasma! ”

Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "You will ensure that after the independence of education, those scholars in power will not be corrupt?" ”

Li Shuhua said: "Scholars have a bottom line after all. ”

"What's the bottom line? I don't know," Zhou Hexuan said disdainfully, "I only know that after Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces tried to implement the university district system, the president of Zhejiang University was Jiang Menglin, a student of Cai Yuanpei, the president of Central University was Zhang Naiyan, Zhang Jingjiang's nephew, and the president of Labor University was Yi Peiji, Li Shizeng's in-law. At the Academia Sinica, Cai Yunpei relied on Yang Xingfo as his right and left hand, and at the soon-to-be-established Beiping University, Li Shizeng had to appoint cronies on a large scale. Which of them is not cronyism, and which one is not demarcating territory and occupying mountains in the education system? ”

After hearing this, Li Shuhua's expression was a little painful, and several elders he respected were actually told the essence by Zhou Hexuan.

Historically, Li Shuhua was the most neutral and impartial among these factions, and he also actively coordinated the contradictions of various factions.

Therefore, after Chang Kaishen personally concurrently served as the minister of education, Li Shuhua was specially appointed as the vice minister of education, because only he was the vice minister, and all factions would not object.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "I believe that all gentlemen who are determined to reform education have a public heart. But everyone has selfish intentions, and even selfishness for the sake of public spirits. Some time ago, Mr. Li Zongwu published an article "Discussion on Social Problems", part of which is to discuss people's selfishness, and use mechanics to explain psychological changes, I think there is some truth. After all, the public intentions of those gentlemen in the graduate school must be guided into selfishness by the centripetal force of power. ”

Li Shuhua sighed, hugged his fists and said, "Principal Zhou, I will relay your words to Mr. Shi Zeng." But whether he will listen or not, I can't guarantee. ”

"I don't expect him to listen, and when the schools in the north open, he will know how difficult it is for him to reform." Zhou Hexuan said.

The bloodshed of educational reform has historically occurred in the Beiping University District.

When Li Shuhua left, he said to Zhou Hexuan: "President Zhou, the Mr. Li Zongwu you mentioned is in Nanjing at this time. I talked to him two days ago, and this man's theories are absurd and unbelievable. ”

"Oh, Li Zongwu is in Nanjing, then I have to go and see him." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
