Chapter 344: Take Peking University First (Part II)

Hu Renyuan, the former president of Peking University, was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as vice minister, which attracted the envy of Peking teachers and students.

Cai Yuanpei, the former director of education, was appointed as the new principal, and the teachers and students of Peking felt that Cai Yuanpei was not as good as in the past.

On the first day of Cai Yuanpei's tenure as principal, he issued an ordinance strictly prohibiting teachers and students from prostituting and taking drugs, and violators were severely punished. However, this prohibition did not attract the attention of teachers and students in the north, in fact, such regulations occur every year, but they have never been seriously enforced. School administrators, professors, and students often meet in Bada Hutong, look at each other and smile at each other, and then look for a good girl. even communicate with each other, which girl's body is white, which girl's bed kung fu is good, and talk about the heavy door stacking of Shanxi Datong women, and the three-inch lotus foot wine filler of Jiangnan Water Township women??? There are not many ugliness to enumerate, but they are all regarded as literati and elegant things, and the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties, teachers and students laugh at it.

When Cai Yuanpei first entered Peking University, he just quietly watched from the sidelines, and refused to burn even the three fires of the new official. Cai Yuanpei couldn't say that he hadn't done anything for half a month, he asked people to collect all the information of teachers and students, and the home address, family population, etc., were summarized in detail in his office.

Half a month later, Cai Yuanpei issued an order to hold an inaugural speech in the school's big field, requiring teachers and students to participate.

Cai Yuanpei stood on the podium and said with a pale face: "Five years ago, when Mr. Yan Fu was the principal of this school, I was still working in the Ministry of Education. Shi Bei said three times, impressive to see, the situation has been read for several years, and the monarchs will make great progress compared with the past. As the president of Peking University, I only want to talk about three things!

First, if you have a purpose, you must have a certain purpose when you come here to study, and if you want to be righteous or not, you must have the surname of the prophet university. Today's people are going to vocational schools and learning to do things, which is inevitable. This is not the case at the university, where the university scholar is also a scholar of advanced knowledge. Outsiders often accuse the school of [***], in order to study here, all have the idea of being an official and making a fortune, Cai, as the president of Peking University, is heartbroken every time he hears such words!

Most of the graduates of the preparatory department of this university enter the law department, and there are very few students who study liberal arts, and even fewer who study science. Because students are enthusiastic about being officials, they don't ask about the depth of their knowledge, but about the size of their rank. At present, many of the people who are proficient in politics and law in our country have entered the political circles, and there are very few full-time professors, so it is also a last resort to hire teachers and have to hire part-time people. Whether outsiders should criticize it or not, I don't have to say. However, slander is better than self-cultivation, people ridicule me [***], and I don't [***], I have a clear conscience, what harm will it do to me? If you want to achieve your goal of becoming an official and making a fortune, there are many specialized schools in Yenching, and those who enter the law department can study law, and those who enter the business department can also apply for business schools, so why come to this university? Therefore, you must have a purpose and come for your studies. Those who enter the law department are not officials; Those who enter the business department are not to get rich. The purpose is established, and it is on the right track. The princes are still working here, or three years, or four years, the time is not much, and if you can cherish the time and study diligently, then your attainments will be allowed to stop. If you are determined to be an official and make a fortune, your purpose is obedient and tends to be different. In normal times, they are debauched, and in exams, they are familiar with lecture notes, and they do not ask whether they have knowledge or not, but compete for the number of scores; After the experiment is over, the books are put on the shelf, without asking questions, perfunctory for three or four years, scribbling responsibilities, and obtaining the diploma, you can use this to carry out activities in the society, is it not very contrary to the original intention of studying? Time is wasted, there is no knowledge, it is self-mistake. And the Battle of Xinhai, the reason why our people revolutionized was because of the [***] of the Qing court officials. Even now, we are not satisfied with the axis of time, and we are also lost by its way. If you don't plant your foundation at this time and study diligently, if you are forced to do anything and serve as a chair because of your livelihood in the future, you will delay your students; If you are in politics, you will be in ruin to the country. It's a mistake. If you mislead yourself and others, how can you do what you want? Therefore, the purpose cannot be unjust. The rest of the hope is also for the monarchs.

Second, it is said that the customs of tempering virtue are said to be stealing, moral degradation, Yanjing society, especially bad, the things that corrupt morality and ruining deeds are everywhere, not deep-rooted, rarely stained by customs, and all the monarchs should be able to tie themselves up and love themselves. However, the rise and fall of a country depends on the thickness of customs. If the customs are like this, the future is unimaginable. Therefore, there must be outstanding people who lead by example and strive to overhaul the vulgar. You are university students, your status is very high, shouldering this heavy responsibility, it is an unshirkable responsibility, so you not only think about it, but also have to inspire people. If you don't cultivate morality, you don't learn it, it's the same as customs; It is in line with the dirty world, and he is insulted by others, which is enough to touch. However, before the first case, the monarchs finally said that they would be in pain, and there would be no entertainment, and they would feel physical pain. For the sake of the kings, it is better to use legitimate entertainment, easy to improper entertainment, which is not bad for morality, but beneficial to the body. When you entered the branch, you filled out a petition and obeyed the rules of the university, and violated the rules of the school, isn't it the opposite of the original meaning? Therefore, conduct should not be unstrict. The rest of the hope is for the monarchs.

Third, the professors who respect their teachers and teachers, and the tasks of the staff are all for the convenience of your studies, so can you be indifferent? You should treat each other with sincerity and respect. As for classmates living together, they should love each other and learn from each other. Not only open and honest, but also morally encouraging, covering the same school, slandering the reputation, the students are morally bad, there are wrongdoing, and they are criticized by the society, although they have behaved in a proper manner, they can not argue, so they must exhort each other. Yu in Germany, every time I go to the store to buy goods, the shopkeeper is hospitable, pays the price, and thanks each other, although this is a small section, but it is also necessary for communication. For the love of teachers and friends, the rest of the hope is for the three monarchs.

Yu arrived at the school to see the things only a few days, and the school affairs were not known in detail, and the people who planned here were two things and one was to improve the handouts. Since you have studied advanced knowledge, you are different from middle schools and higher schools, and you not only rely on teachers to teach, but also rely on your own cultivation. The lecture notes printed later only list the outline, subtle details, and essential meanings, or dictated by the lecturer, or referred to by themselves, in order to learn and be practical. The second is to buy additional books. Although there are many new books in the school library, they are not widely purchased and will not be enough for students' reference. It is planned to raise funds, buy more new books, and in the future, the shelves will be full, and they will be able to learn from the side, and there will be no indifference. This is the only thing I said to be with the princes, and I will meet in the future, and I will discuss it at any time. ”

Cai Yuanpei's speech was very brief, which was a bit too shallow compared to the long speeches of the previous principals, and it was nothing more than three things and two requirements derived from it.

"One is to hold the purpose", the second is to temper virtue, the third is to respect teachers and friends, and "there are two things that are planned": "one is to improve the handouts", and the second is to purchase additional books. These five requirements can be described as five sharp arrows aimed at the weakness of realistic education. Among the teachers and students of Peking University, there are some who really have the heart to learn, and they are not used to Peking University's [***], whenever outsiders laugh at Peking University's dirt and dirt, they are also heartbroken, but for a long time, they can only bury their heads in the sand as ostriches, and they can't hear it.

Hearing Cai Yuanpei's speech today, I felt that everything he said was out of line, and I felt that it seemed that Peking University really had to make a big move.

But most people still have more left ears in and out of their right ears, Cai Yuanpei is like playing the piano to a cow, and the cow does not enter the ears!

At the end of the short speech, Cai Yuanpei announced that the movie would be shown to all teachers and students today. The students suddenly became excited, the movie is still relatively new in Yanjing, a ticket costs five cents, which is still quite expensive, you know, five cents is ninety copper according to the current price, and a big bowl of beef noodles is only eight coppers.

After dark, the curtain was drawn in the school's playground, the students knocked on the stool and cursed anxiously, Cai Yuanpei stood aside without changing his face, and coldly watched these spoiled students knock on the table and hit the bench.

The sixteen-millimeter projector rustled and spun slightly, and black and white figures appeared on the screen, and a moment later, the teachers and students burst into laughter.

"Han Jiatan! That's Han Jiatan! ”

"Yixiangyuan, you can't be wrong, that's Yixiangyuan, where Sai Jinhua slept with the commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Wadsey!"

On the screen, Baishun Hutong, Rouge Hutong, Hanjiatan, Shaanxi Lane, Stone Hutong, Wang Guangfu Xiejie, Zhujia Hutong, and Li Shamao Hutong appear on the screen in turn. From the north of Xizhu Shikou Street to the south of Tieshu Xiejie, the scene of the eight major alleys appears in turn.

The girl scratched her head and gestured, and the sentient beings who picked and chose each other attracted the teachers and students of Peking to laugh forward and back.

After a while, a thin old man with curly pigtails and a robe and a horse coat appeared in the movie, only to see him walk into the gate of the Ji Yuan with a high spirit, surrounded by many Ji girls, and the teachers and students laughed and had a stomachache, this old guy is too familiar to everyone, isn't this the weirdo Gu Hongming of Peking University!

Everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Hongming, but Gu Tangsheng, who had flaxen hair, a high nose and deep eyes, looked like a foreign devil but was dressed like a rich man in the Chinese countryside, but he didn't have the slightest unhappy expression, he looked at himself on the screen and was complacent.

After a while, familiar figures appeared on the movie screen, all of them looked like teachers and students in Beijing, only to see them get off the foreign car, or walk into the courtyard alone or by friends, and then disappear into the fat powder.

The teachers and students who watched the movie couldn't laugh anymore, they peeked at Cai Yuanpei, only to see that his face was pale, and after a long time, Cai Yuanpei waved his hand, and the film projectionist turned off the machine. The lights came on again.

"Guys, what do you think? Do you want to read it any more? Cai Yuanpei said coldly.

The audience was silent, and the teachers and students held their breath, not knowing what the new principal wanted to do.

Cai Yuanpei picked up a notebook: "At the beginning of my tenure, I repeatedly ordered teachers and students not to prostitute and take drugs!" Here is a list of all the teachers and students who have violated the ban, since I have violated the school rules, don't blame me for being ruthless??? The list of teachers and students who have violated the ban will be published in the newspaper and delivered to your homes at the same time! ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, teachers and students originally thought that it would be fines, expulsion and other punishments, but they didn't expect Cai Yuanpei to be even more ruthless, and he actually had to notify his family and the newspaper, this kind of thing is just some romantic sins in private, but after it is made public, he will be ruined!

The atmosphere in North China is extremely conservative, more precisely, extremely hypocritical, and many things are done in a mess! Once the city is full of turmoil, the students will wait to be broken by their father, and the teacher's family may also have to jump over the wall, and after the scandal is public, it will be difficult to find an errand in the officialdom!

Cai Yuanpei's move is to put them to death!

The huge field suddenly fell silent, no one knew whose name Cai Yuanpei had in his notebook, and no one knew how many scandals he knew, but all teachers and students with this habit were beating drums in their hearts, and their hearts were going to jump out of their chests.

"It is a Chinese tradition to travel together, and the literati are elegant, even if they are in the newspapers, what is the loss?" Gu Hongming shouted.

Everyone looked at him angrily, this half-breed devil who was born in Nanyang and studied in the East and was born in Beiyang, of course he doesn't care about his reputation, anyway, this guy doesn't want to be an official, and he is old, and he is mixed for a day or two, and others still want to have a future??? If you want to die, you can't bring everyone to the funeral together!

Gu Hongming has a great reputation, is better educated, is fluent in more than ten languages, and has thirteen doctorates, but his reputation abroad is far greater than at home. Westerners say that when you go to Yanjing, you can not see the three major halls, but you can't see Gu Hongming. But at Peking University, he is regarded as an outlier, and it has been three years since the Republic of China, and he still has a flaxen-colored white braid. And Gu Hongming is extremely conservative, regarding concubines, small feet, and memorization as the essence of traditional Chinese culture, so he doesn't care about publishing his visit to Bada Hutong in the newspaper at all.

The ancients said that if there is no desire, it is rigid! Gu Hongming has already become famous, and the university scholars at home and abroad are also old, and they are not addicted to officials, and they are also famous crazy students in the world, so he naturally doesn't care about his reputation in the world. But there are tens of thousands of teachers and students in Beijing, who can compare with him? He doesn't care about the future and the way out, who dares not to care?

"Mr. Tang Sheng is right, this is a Chinese tradition, if everyone's opinion is the same as Mr. Tang Sheng, then I will inform the newspaper of typesetting and printing! In addition, I will send people to notify you from house to house??? If there are no objections, I will take my leave! Cai Yuanpei shook the roster in his hand and said with a sneer.

Seeing that Cai Yuanpei was coming, the teachers and students of Peking suddenly panicked, and several students who had shown their faces in the movie rushed to Cai Yuanpei, and knelt down as soon as their knees were weak.

Cai Yuanpei said angrily: "Stand up! I don't have a soft bone student! ”

How dare the students get up, hugging his thighs and begging bitterly: "Headmaster, we know that we are wrong! Please open the net! ”

Cai Yuanpei said sharply: "Stand up and speak for me!" ”

After the students looked at each other, they stood up boldly, begged bitterly again, and did not dare to let Cai Yuanpei leave.

After a long time, Cai Yuanpei's expression was a little relaxed, and he sighed and said, "I don't want to do things absolutely either!" Now that you know that you are wrong, go back to me privately and write me a letter of guarantee, and if you do it again, I will not spare it! ”

After that, Cai Yuanpei yelled at the teachers and students of the school: "Everyone has listened carefully to me, and all teachers and students who violate the ban will hand over the guarantee to me within half a month!" If you don't pay it on the due date, then don't blame me for not being emotional???? Do you hear that? ”

"I heard you!" The teachers and students trembled.

"It's too quiet for me to hear!" Cai Yuanpei said coldly.

"I heard you!" The teachers and students of the school shouted loudly, and the sound resounded in the night sky.

??? Dividing line ???

"Heqing, you are such a means!" Gu Hongming laughed.

Cai Yuanpei arched his hand and said, "Thank you Brother Tang Sheng for your cooperation!" Cai is grateful for the five! ”

Gu Hongming shook his head and said: "I'm telling the truth, what kind of crime is this co-traveling?" Publishing newspapers and periodicals is also a romantic affair, and I don't care about it??? Heqing, after you do this, the atmosphere of Peking University has changed greatly, and the students are much more honest, hehe, they are afraid that their father will know and break the dog's legs??? I can't imagine that you, a two-list editor of the Jinshi Hanlin Academy, still have this trick-making ability! ”

Cai Yuanpei smiled: "This is not my strategy, besides, where can I find someone to take photos and make movies?" This is President Chai's arrangement, and his move is to fight poison with poison, which can be regarded as curing the problems of teachers and students in Beijing! ”

Gu Hongming pouted: "The dignified president, he actually did such a trick, he is not a good person!" ”

Cai Yuanpei knew his surname very well, and said with a smile: "President Chai Da also told me about you!" ”

"Oh? Talking about people behind his back is not the work of a gentleman??? What did he say about me? ”

Cai Yuanpei said with a smile: "President Chai said that Mr. Tang Sheng's real surname is a strange man, although he has foreign blood, he is an authentic Chinese man, not only good at learning, but also with a warm blood and a steel and iron bone that keeps fighting!" He also said that don't look at Mr. Townsend has a braid at the back of his head, but his braid is only at the back of his head, and most Chinese have a braid in his head, which is worse than Brother Towngo's??? In addition, President Chai Da also knew that Mr. Tang Sheng scolded Cixi's poem "The Son of Heaven is ten thousand years, the people spend money, the longevity is boundless, and the people suffer!" The president said that Mr. Tang Sheng's royalist is not to protect the Qing Emperor, but to protect the Huaxia Gangchang Mingjiao and the 5,000-year-old civilization! ”

Gu Hongming was proud when he heard this, it seemed that he had eaten ginseng fruit, all three hundred and sixty pores were opened, and there was no discomfort in his body, and he also laughed and said: "President Chai Da knows me, it seems that I misunderstood him, he is still a good person!" ”

Cai Yuanpei continued: "The president said, don't look at Brother Tang Sheng's braids now, in fact, as early as the Qing Dynasty, he cut his braids, and his thinking has long been refreshed!" ”

Gu Hongming suddenly smiled and said, "I cut my braids back then for no restoration, I gave my braids as a gift to a girl, it's just a romantic affair, and it has nothing to do with any restoration??? This Chai Dongliang is not a good person! ”

Cai Yuanpei pointed at Gu Hongming and smiled helplessly: "Tang Sheng, Tang Sheng, I really don't know what to say about you!" ”
