Cai Yuanpei vigorously implemented reforms on the campus of Peking University, the main contents of which are: (1) reform of the preparatory department; (2) Expand the liberal arts and sciences; (3) Merge the Department of Business into the Department of Law; (4) Suspend the law and engineering departments and merge them into Peiyang University. The reform of the preparatory department is because the preparatory department has always contained a half-reading surname and does not obey the unified management of Peking University.

Cai Yuanpei believes that universities are institutions for the study of advanced knowledge, which should be fundamentally different from specialized schools that focus on application, and universities should cultivate generalists, rather than specialized talents. "The two departments of arts and sciences are exclusive to the academic sciences, and the other departments are more practical", and "the two departments of arts and sciences have research institutes, laboratories, libraries, botanical gardens, zoos, etc., and it is not easy to combine them into one area. Therefore, he believes that Yenching University should specialize in arts and sciences, and transfer other subjects to other schools, or become a university with a single subject. In this regard, teachers and students of engineering and law are strongly opposed. After careful consideration, Cai Yuanpei allowed the law department to stay at Peking University, but left no room for engineering, and decided to merge it into Peiyang University, on the one hand, in order to realize his own ideas, on the other hand, it was also without the consideration of eliminating the engineering team of the former president Hu Renyuan.

Cai Yuanpei dismissed many incompetent Chinese and foreign teachers, most of whom were students who had returned from abroad, and some foreign teachers. At the same time, a large number of ideological and active faculty members were hired from France and the United States, and they were entrusted with important tasks. Whether it is a new school or an old school, Cai Yuanpei treats everyone equally, and the only criterion for him to hire teachers is academic attainment, as for whether the ideological tendency is trendy or conservative, he doesn't care at all.

As long as you are knowledgeable, even if you advocate apolitical axeism on the podium, Cai Yuanpei will not interfere.

After the failure of the "Second Revolution", Chen Duxiu, who went away, was also invited by him to return to China to serve as a senior in liberal arts, and the four disciples of Zhang Taiyan gathered in Peking University, from the most fashionable socialist ideas to the most conservative Four Books and Five Classics, Peking University has a place in the metropolis, and various theories and trends of thought reflect each other, becoming a grand event in China's modern literary circle.

During his study in Germany, Cai Yuanpei found that the German political system is relatively [***] in Europe, but the atmosphere of the university is the most free, especially Humboldt University, known as the mother of modern universities, is a holy place where various trends of thought gather and masters gather.

At Humboldt University, the professors are elected to the professors for each department, and the professors take turns serving as presidents. He also introduced this practice to Peking University, creating a precedent for Chinese professors to govern the university, and further sweeping away the bureaucratic habits of Peking University.

The style of inclusiveness has been preliminarily laid in Peking University!

In Cai Yuanpei's reform, the most important measure is to abolish the academic year system and change it to a credit system, those students who are confused can no longer make up their numbers, as long as the credits are not enough, even if they are white, they will not be able to get a graduation certificate! The students were forced to have no choice but to honestly pick up the books, but soon they found that the ideas of the professors of Peking University deeply attracted them, and the students were forced to read books to actively explore.

In just a few months, the atmosphere at Peking University has improved greatly, and the students are also afraid of the new principal of Svenwen. I'm not afraid that I can't do it, people have their handles in their hands, which student is not afraid of going home and being broken by his father?

Although Cai Yuanpei's reform of Peking University was of great significance, it did not cause much shock in society. The elite of North China as a whole was drawn to another big event.

The Presidential Office has issued an order to recruit senior civil servants by nationwide examinations!

Since the beginning of the Republic of China, the prime minister, vice premier, and the chief of state affairs of various ministries are basically rubber stamps, although they seem to be high and powerful, in fact, they are all laymen, and they are experts in the anti-Qing revolution, but their governing ability is lackluster, and it is the deputy ministers of the ministries who really hold power in the political axe, and the financial and civil affairs chiefs of the provinces are also very powerful and well-oiled positions. This is true in all countries, where most of the elected cabinet members are laymen, and the real insiders are technocrats such as deputy ministers and deputy ministers.

The position of the deputy head of each ministry is equivalent to the squire of the former Qing Dynasty, which is a high-ranking official of the second grade! Even if he was born in two lists, and there is a backer in the officialdom, he will not be able to survive such a big official in ten or twenty years.

And once hired this time, you can carp jump the dragon gate and directly serve as a senior official at the provincial and ministerial level, this opportunity can be said to be unprecedented!

Of course, the recruitment conditions are also quite high, applicants must have at least a bachelor's degree from a prestigious university, and at the same time require to own real estate of not less than 1,000 Wu Bai yuan, and must have held middle and senior positions in politics, media, and financial industry for more than two years.

This kind of condition is naturally nothing in the 21st century, but in China in the early years of the Republic of China, there were only a few people who met the requirements, and there would be no more than 5,000 people in the whole country!

In addition to the hundreds of students studying in Britain and the United States, there are more than 20,000 students studying in China, and most of these 20,000 students are in preparatory courses, and there is not one in ten who actually get a degree. There are not many university graduates in China, compared to the situation that there are doctors everywhere in the 21st century, masters are all over the streets, and undergraduates are not as good as dogs, and there are very few highly educated talents in the early years of the Republic of China.

Junior high school graduates are intellectuals at this time, high school students are already high-level intellectuals, and those who have received a university education are elites!

The total number of people to be recruited this time is 60, but the number of applicants is expected to exceed 2,000, although the acceptance rate is not high, but it is still much easier than the Qing Dynasty to take the Jinshi examination. Besides, this kind of opportunity to become a high-ranking official will probably never come again in the future.

Only when a country is founded, can it have the opportunity to climb to the sky, and when the country is stable, it can only be a step-by-step experience.

After Chai Dongliang became president, in addition to the Beiyang department that he retained, the Jianghuai department he brought from Anqing was not only insufficient in number, but also many people were not familiar with government affairs, which gave him some headaches. Moreover, Gao Ming, Gao Chuguan, Liang Qichao and others all came to Yanjing from Anqing, and the Anqing Military Advisory Office, Chai Dongliang's old nest, is also short of manpower, especially the lack of senior talents who can take charge of themselves, so it is a must to select outstanding talents to enrich the team.

Chai Dongliang thought about it and felt that it was the most fair to select through the examination, and he also had a secret idea in his heart, which should also be realized through this senior civil service examination.

After drinking a cup of unsweetened black coffee, Chai Dongliang's mood improved. Cai Yuanpei's success proves that China's atmosphere is not unchangeable, and as long as the rulers are determined enough and their means are clever enough, it is possible to achieve it.

Suddenly, Chai Dongliang put down the cup, he suddenly remembered that he had not updated the Internet for several days, although now he can get rid of the dependence on the information and technical drawings provided by the book friend group, but the Internet through the laptop Internet communication with book friends is still the happiest thing for him.

After all, in China for three years in the Republic of China, many of his thoughts and ideas are incomprehensible, and even his wife, who shares the same bed, has a hard time understanding his thoughts.

The gap between a hundred years of knowledge and experience cannot be bridged by feelings!

I opened the safe, took out my laptop and plugged it in, and I heard the sound of a bull's roar, and it took a long time to turn on the machine and finish running.

Chai Dongliang sighed, the machine is getting slower and slower, maybe one day he will finish the game completely, I am afraid that that day will be the day when he will completely say goodbye to the 21st century.

The first thing I did after turning on the machine was to use my hand cramp speed code for 3,000 words, and then check the typos a little, and click on the page of the starting point to enter the author's area.

The speed of entering the special area was outrageously slow, and Chai Dongliang drank a cup of coffee and smoked a cigarette before the operation ended. After clicking send to send the manuscript, Chai Dongliang opened QQ, the same bull roar, and then a long wait, and after ten minutes, he entered the book friend group.

As soon as it was launched, a large group of book friends came over to say hello, and Chai Dongliang felt a burst of warmth.

"The rice balls are big, someone scolds you!" The beautiful book friend Xiaofang said.

Chai Dongliang was stunned: "Why?" ”

Xiao Fang said: "Some people say that you sell illicit goods. ”

Chai Dongliang smiled: "People who write books, especially those who write in modern times, who don't have their own thoughts?" If you sell smuggling, you can sell smuggling, it doesn't matter. ”

"You're not angry?"

"Why am I angry? Angry old fast! By the way, he said what kind of private goods did I sell? Chai Dongliang said with a smile.

Xiao Fang said: "Some people say that you are brain-dead, saying that the founding heroes and red children have the right to make a big profit, and it is natural for their descendants to enjoy the ancestral shade, at least let them enjoy five generations later, and then slowly reform??? They say that the boiled food of one person, one vote is shit, and the so-called boiled people are not a pity to kill the whole family??? Many people in the book review supported his opinion! ”

Chai Dongliang smiled: "What's wrong with saying I'm brain-dead?" What writer doesn't get scolded? I remember when I wrote "1900 Clouds and Rain", I talked about some of the atrocities of the Boxers, and some people scolded me for being Han Jian??? Five generations? One generation has been more than 30 years, and five generations are almost 200 years, if you look at Chinese history, how many dynasties can exceed 200 years? Enjoy five generations and then reform? I'm afraid that the country has changed hands, and it will be reformed??? In addition, the founding heroes he said were all asking for one person, one vote, and suggested that the guy take a look at our party's original remarks, if it is not a pity to ask the people of Ming Cook to kill the whole family, then there will be no founding heroes in this dynasty, let alone red children! ”

Xiao Fang thought for a while and said, "Didn't the ancients say that the fifth generation of the gentleman will be beheaded!" It seems to be a Chinese tradition to pass on the five generations! ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "Chinese tradition is that you can marry a little wife, and your boyfriend should have no opinion on finding a lover, right?" ”

Xiao Fang was furious: "He dares!" If he dares to find a lover, I will cut him and send him to the palace as a eunuch! ”

Chai Dongliang smiled and said, "Yes! Do you know a lot of traditions that are outdated? In any era, there are people with vested interests, such people always think that the world is eternal and unchanging, but unfortunately, the world is eternal except for change, everything else will change! Vested interests certainly don't think the same way as ordinary people. ”

Xiao Fang sent a smile, and then said: "But the person who scolded you is an ordinary person, not a person with vested interests!" ”

Chai Dongliang sprayed rice: "Then he is too noble, as a bone, he actually has a dog's way of thinking, admire??? In addition, the original intention of the fifth generation of the gentleman is to warn those who have vested interests not to always think about the remnants of their ancestors, if they sit back and enjoy their achievements and do not want to make progress, or even become a stumbling block to the progress of society, it will be a great disaster, not that the merits of the ancestors can make them eat for five lifetimes???? Isn't the Bada Hutong in the early years of the Republic of China the best example, the girls in the northern class are basically girls from the banner family, and most of the poor insects who talk about books and sell wild medicine on the flyover are also flag people! To tell the truth, the Manchu court is far away, if it weren't for the cowardice of the Empress Dowager Longyu and the abdication of the Qing court, when the revolutionary party enters Yanjing City, I am afraid that the banner people will be uprooted, and there will be no chance to be a memorial girl! The weakness of the Empress Dowager Longyu is not a great wisdom! ”

Xiao Fang was speechless for a while, and the lightning god interjected: "What Tang Yuan said makes sense, what happened in the Middle East recently is not an example!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Ben Ali of Tunisia abdicated without using a knife or gun, and ran to Saudi Arabia with a large amount of gold to enjoy happiness, Egypt's Mubarak shot and was put in a cage for trial, and Libya's Gaddafi played even more excessively, and was killed and was blown up with a chrysanthemum??? There are still five generations, and two generations have not survived! ”

Chai Dongliang was shocked: "Won't it? Is the Middle East so fierce? ”

The lightning god said disdainfully: "You can't really be in the Republic of China, right?" Don't even know this? Take Lao Tzu to make a joke? ”

Chai Dongliang said perfunctorily: "I know, I know, but I don't care too much, so I don't know very well." ”

The lightning god said: "Tangyuan, private chat." ”

After a while, he said: "Tang Yuan, haven't you ever been abroad, I asked you for some advice, a buddy in the group said to help me go to Canada, do you think it is reliable?" ”

Chai Dongliang was stunned: "What are you doing in Canada?" Ma Xiaobraid's family is rich, and people go abroad to be young masters, what are you doing abroad? ”

The lightning god said with a bitter face: "That guy asked me to go to Canada to kill pigs, take care of food and housing, seven hundred Canadian dollars a week, do you think I can do it?" ”

Chai Dongliang laughed: "Kill pigs? Well, this is reliable! But you have to think about it, after going abroad, the first thing is that you don't understand the language, it's very uncomfortable to be like a dumb person, and the second is that you are not used to eating! I've only been abroad for a few days, and I'm already thinking about flatbread fritters, and I don't care if it's a gutter-fried brother! ”

The lightning god said helplessly: "You are a full man, you don't know that a hungry man is hungry!" My family is rural, and now farming can't support the whole family at all, young people have gone to the city to work, and the countryside is almost deserted, except for the old man and the old lady, there is no young adult! The few money I earn from my part-time job can't save money except for food and drink, and my parents are getting older and older, and they have no savings, let alone pension insurance! If I can't make any more money, if they get some kind of disease, the family can't afford to sell the house! It's even worse when I'm old, I only have one child, and even if he is filial, he can't support four old people, right? I'm really afraid that one day, when I am old and have nothing to rely on, I can only die in poverty and illness! ”

Chai Dongliang felt a sour feeling in his heart: "Okay, don't say it!" Let's go, make more money and honor your parents! ”

The lightning god said bitterly: "But I'm worried that if I can't leave, so much money is spent in vain, and the family will not be able to live!" That's the money my parents have saved up all their lives to marry my daughter-in-law! ”

Chai Dongliang really didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "I'm going offline, you think about your own affairs." ”

Anyway, turn off the book friend group like a run for your life, and then turn off the phone!

The screen of the notebook was dark, Chai Dongliang leaned on the sofa and was silent, feeling an unspeakable sadness, saying that the rich people in China want to emigrate, but in fact, the poor people who want to leave are just these people who don't even have the ability to immigrate!

Mourning is greater than heart death! In the first half of the 20 th century, many overseas students enthusiastically returned to China to serve the motherland, and the conditions at that time were far inferior to those of China in the 21 st century. These people have patriotic fervor and hope to change the backward face of the country with their knowledge.

And in the 21st century, whether it is a rich or a poor, whether it is a corrupt official or an intellectual, almost everyone wants to get a green card!

The difference is just whether you can get it!

Chinese are concerned about the wealth taken away by corrupt officials, but they don't think about how many outstanding talents have left the country, and in California alone, there are 16,000 Tsinghua students building the United States??? China is losing blood, and it is nourishing other countries and nations with its own flesh and blood!

Engineers from China are considered to be the best talents! And at home, they are a bunch of farts!

The intertwined interest groups are pressing down on China in the 21st century like octopuses, making it difficult for 1.3 billion people to breathe, but paradoxically, there are a large number of people who think that their exploitation of the people is justified and even worthy of praise!

The vast majority of these people are the lowest level of the people, and it can be said that their power is violated by interest groups every day.

Hide-and-seek, evicted, melamine-eating people are basically the same people, but they are very considerate of those who hurt them??? Explaining them in terms of people with Stockholm syndrome all seem a little weak.

As a bone but with a dog's thinking pattern, this makes Chai Dongliang feel very incomprehensible!

Being masochistic can actually get pleasure, this kind of person doesn't say that this is a violent thing!

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, although the common people were ignorant, they rarely had such strange ideas, but in the 21st century, when knowledge and information exploded, this unbelievable trend of thought was rampant in China.

Chai Dongliang was puzzled!

Could it be that those people are all Internet writers, and they unconsciously substitute themselves into the role of the second generation of officials and the second generation of riches? Lost your surname in the pleasure of YY?

China, what's the problem?
