Chapter XXVIII
In the next few days, Chen Ke once again entered a time that barely cultivated and never slept. First of all, there is a constant stream of visitors. Many of these people are well-read, or small workshop owners. They either looked at the poster, or met by chance, or listened to someone else's introduction, in short, after watching You Yu's lecture. These people want to enroll their children in school.
Chen Ke privately referred to these people as "troublemakers." But this group of people is still very important to Chen Ke, because of the lack of social relations, he must not offend his parents. Until Qi Hui excitedly informed Chen Ke that an old gentleman named Ma Xiangbo wanted to meet Chen Ke. Chen Kexin said, how big a face can Qi Huishen personally come to announce to himself.
"Wen Qing, you must go!" Qi Hui was a little excited and a little out of shape.
"What's going on?" Chen Ke was strange.
After Qi Huishen's introduction, Chen Ke was stunned at that time. This Mr. Ma Xiangbo is actually the founder of Fudan University.
Chen Ke had never studied the history of Chinese schools, so he didn't know. Ma Xiangbo founded Aurora University. In the spring of the 31st year of Guangxu, the Jesuits wanted to turn Aurora into a church school, and on the grounds of letting Ma Xiangbo "recuperate", they appointed the French priest Nan Congzhou (Perrin) as the chief teacher, changed the school-running policy, and established another regulations. With the support of celebrities such as Zhang Jian, Yan Fu and Yuan Xitao, Ma Xiangbo saw the autograph books of the dropout students, and decided to stand by the students, and with the support of celebrities such as Zhang Jian, Yan Fu and Yuan Xitao, he prepared to build Fudan Public School (now Fudan University) in Jiangwan, which officially opened on the Mid-Autumn Festival (September 13, 1905). Ma Xiangbo was appointed president and professor of French, and Lee (Teng-hui), not Taiwan's, was appointed provost. In the 34th year of Guangxu, Aurora University, which was taken over by the Jesuits, planned to relocate to Lujiawan, and Ma Xiangbo still attached great importance to running the school, regardless of previous suspicions, donated 40,000 yuan in cash, and 8 foundations of the public concession and the French concession (worth more than 100,000 yuan at that time) to purchase 100 acres of land on Luban Road (now Chongqing South Road) and build a new school building (later Shanghai Second Medical University was merged with Shanghai Jiao Tong University on July 18, 2005).
In 1902, Ma Xiangbo prepared to establish Aurora Women's College of Arts and Sciences, and in 1952, it was renamed Shanghai Xiangming Middle School.
Aurora University, Chen Ke didn't know, but when Qi Huishen said Fudan Public School, Chen Ke would not be able to think of Fudan University even if he was stupid. It turned out that Chen Ke's big lecture was already a well-known thing in Shanghai. Mr. You's debut is a highlight. As a result, even Mr. Ma Xiangbo was shocked. He listened to the lectures given to him by the students, and read several Huangpu reviews that were distributed for free, and he was extremely satisfied with this set of popular science lectures. Some of the dropout students from Aurora University attended the lectures of the Huangpu Society, and through the students' feedback, Mr. Ma heard that the host of the lecture was actually an overseas student who had never heard of it. There are also some rumors about the wanderer. The old gentleman was interested, so he simply asked people to find Qi Huishen, a local, and invited Chen Ke to meet.
This kind of respectable old gentleman spoke, and Chen Ke naturally couldn't help but go. Listening to the old gentleman's meaning, in addition to Chen Ke, he also hopes to meet Mr. Younu, who has been in the limelight recently. Chen Ke hurriedly asked Qi Huishen to inform You Wei, and in addition, Chen Ke immediately sent He Zudao to repair a book, and He Zudao said that the pen writing was good, and the brush writing was also quite good. In the letter, he respectfully asked to see Mr. Ma. Then send He Zudao to take the letter and ask to see Mr. Ma in person.
Chen Ke then sorted out You Wei's lecture notes, thought about it, and took out part of his lecture script. This is the transcript of "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" that Chen Ke is about to give a lecture on. In fact, this is not only the theory of celestial evolution, Chen Ke also wrote in it including the solar system and the earth, natural ecology and so on. This was originally something for all party members to learn, and Chen Ke tried to enrich his knowledge.
Not long after Qi Huishen returned to the workshop with You Wei, He Zudao returned. What he brought back was a handwritten letter from Mr. Ma Xiangbo, and Chen Ke's letter was written very politely, saying that whenever Mr. Ma found it convenient, he would go to visit with friends such as You Wei.
Mr. Ma's reply was also polite, saying that he had also heard about Chen Ke's lecture arrangement, and that there were classes during the day, and everyone had made an appointment to meet this evening. Chen Ke made a simple arrangement, and then ran to the bathroom with shower gel and shampoo to take a shower. After changing his clothes, Chen Kexiang appeared in front of everyone.
"Sissy!" You Yu jealously gave a definite sentence.
A group of four set off.
The street scene of Shanghai was very nonsense in 1905, and Chen Ke couldn't stand it anyway. There have been so many things recently, Chen Ke looked at all kinds of people and waited, and suddenly had a thought. "Huishen, I plan to conduct a few social surveys after the completion of the Huangpu Publishing House."
Qi Huishen and Chen Ke were crammed into a rickshaw, "Social investigation? What to investigate. ”
"Since we want to gather revolutionary comrades, we don't understand the social situation, and what kind of life is to be revolutionized. So social investigation is necessary. Analyze the dynamics of society through surveys. Let the comrades who participated in the social survey come to the conclusion that it must be revolutionary. ”
"So what to investigate? You see so many people in Shanghai, where did they all come from? Why can't the countryside survive? The purpose of the survey I envisaged was the disintegration of the traditional small-scale peasant economy under the impact of the industrial system. ”
"The disintegration of the smallholder economy?" Qi Huishen heard Chen Ke say the term small-scale peasant economy, and he can probably understand, "How did the small-scale peasant economy disintegrate?" ”
"To put it simply, because rich people, such as your old man, buy land in a big way. Hehe, the smallholder economy is disintegrating. ”
Qi Hui thought deeply for a moment, "What Wenqing means is that the industrial system has quickly created a large number of rich people like my father, right?" ”
"You see the point. Today, it is either the foreign industrial system that completely crushes China's small-scale peasant economy, or China's own industrial system that crushes the small-scale peasant economy. In any case, the smallholder economy is doomed to bankruptcy. ”
"In the final analysis, there must be a people's revolution." Qi Huishen nodded and said yes. In the past, Qi Huishen would have been excited to see the essence of society. But now, he doesn't have any mood swings. Chen Ke had lifted the fog that had blinded Qi Huishen in the first place, and he was already able to search for clues and paths on his own, "I will arrange this matter." ”
The two places are not far apart, and the two have already arrived before they have finished discussing the detailed arrangements. The four of them stood in front of Mr. Ma's residence and tidied up their clothes. You Wei raised his sleeve and sniffed, glaring at Chen Ke. Without saying a word, Chen Ke took out a small bottle of flower water from his pocket and sprayed it twice. Although You Mu doesn't necessarily like the taste, the girl is always more fragrant. She dragged the toilet water from Chen Ke's hand and stuffed it into her pocket. Everyone knows that Chen Ke has a lot of good things, and whenever possible, everyone will do their best to take one or two small things. Seeing that You Wei was so clever, Qi Hui beat his chest with a deep pause, regretting that his hands were slow.
After checking each other's outfits for the last time, You Yu suddenly asked, "Wen Qing, how many watches do you have at the bottom?" Because of the lecture, Chen Ke lent his watch to You Wei. This time when he came out, Chen Ke simply put on another piece.
"We'll talk about that later." Chen Ke didn't want to dwell on it too much. If you continue to entangle, I'm afraid the watch will have to be smoothed away.
Mr. Ma Xiangbo is thin and handsome, and he is in good spirits. He has a beard that is common to literati in the Republic of China, and the color is close to pure white. After a few simple greetings, Mr. Ma went straight to the point, Fudan Public School was about to open, and he hoped that Chen Ke would be able to hold a lecture at the school before the start of school. The content is the course of Chen Ke's big lecture.
Chen Ke hurriedly handed over the two manuscripts. Mr. Ma didn't pay much attention to the chemistry part, so he casually browsed it and put it down. But on the cover of the second manuscript, He Zudao's handsome font reads five big characters, "The Theory of Evolution".
The fiasco in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle once again pushed the Chinese nation to a critical juncture. At this time, the famous person Yan Fu translated the British biologist Huxley's "Theory of Heavenly Evolution", and published it in the "Compilation of National News" published in Tianjin in December 1897. The publication of the book had a huge social repercussion that Yan Fu did not expect, and after seeing this translation, Kang Youwei, the leader of the reformists, exclaimed that "there is no such person in his eyes", and said that Yan Fu "translated the Theory of Heavenly Evolution as the first person in Western Chinese studies". Since then, the Theory of Heavenly Evolution has become a famous book. It was unanimously recommended by scholars at the time.
Ma Xiangbo and Yan Fu have a very good relationship, and Yan Fu gave great support to the establishment of Fudan Public School. He knew that the author of "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" was a self-proclaimed "Darwinian fighting dog", and Darwin's famous book was "The Theory of Evolution". Seeing this name, the old gentleman immediately became interested. Turning the first page, it is not Yan Fu's famous sentence "Natural selection, survival of the fittest." But Xunzi's words, "Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death." Praise it from heaven, which is to use it to control the destiny of heaven? ”
Yan Fu's theory of heavenly evolution is written in classical Chinese, but Chen Ke's speech on "The Theory of Evolution" is in the vernacular. The lecture was divided into seven lectures, the first of which was on the universe and the solar system. The second is the ocean. The third to the seventh are Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Australia. Describe the various biological characteristics and evolutionary processes of these regions. The interaction and development of various organisms. Yan Fu's theory of heavenly evolution is a political book, while Chen Ke's article is a science book.
Chen Ke has read "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" and "The Theory of Evolution". Although the theory of heavenly evolution is so popular, Chen Ke does not want to talk about the theory of heavenly speech, and his lecture was originally a lecture of the party class to encourage progressive youth, so the content of "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" Chen Ke felt that it was empty and tasteless. The real drama meat is the third part of Chen Ke's course, called "Chinese Cultural Inheritance and the Rise of Materialism". But the manuscript has not yet been completed, and Chen Ke does not dare to take it out to offer ugliness.
Flipping through a few pages, I saw that "The Theory of Evolution" was a science book, and Mr. Ma also put it down.
There is only one last day left in the course, so Mr. Ma suggested that the course start the day after tomorrow. Chen Ke immediately climbed the pole, he asked the old gentleman to let him use the auditorium temporarily, whether the course that Chen Ke was going to take in Zhou Yuanxiao's workshop could be transferred to the lecture address of Fudan Public School. Chen Ke said that if he borrowed the place of Fudan Public School, Chen Ke would pay a special fee for the use of the venue. Chen Ke's lectures are open and free of charge. Mr. Ma naturally would not accept this money. After negotiating the matter, Chen Ke and the others got up and said goodbye.
When I went, I was in a hurry, and everyone took a rickshaw, and naturally there was no need to be so extravagant when they came back, so everyone simply walked.
"Wen Qing, you can really climb the pole." Qi Hui said with a deep smile.
"A gentleman can deceive him." Chen Ke also smiled, but the smile immediately turned into a wry smile, "It's a pity that there is not much time, otherwise I would like to go to this school to become a professor or something." ”
"Why isn't there so much time?" Qi Hui was deeply strange.
"Young students have ideals and enthusiasm, and it would have been a good place to train revolutionaries. However, there have been a lot of people in Anhui in the past two years, and if there is a delay in Shanghai for a year or two, this opportunity will be missed. After speaking, Chen Ke spoke.
Qi Huishen didn't answer, and Chen Ke talked to him about some details of going to Anhui. It also lists several conditions that are needed, and now these conditions are not met, and Chen Ke must devote himself to this preparation. And Qi Huishen has already made up his mind to follow Chen Ke to Anhui, so he naturally can't volunteer to preside over the student propaganda work at Fudan University.
Back in the workshop, these classes have long since dispersed. But in the courtyard, Hua Xiongmao was sitting and chatting with two people. Seeing Chen Ke coming back, Hua Xiongmao introduced: "Wenqing, someone is here with the poster we posted, and it is these two gentlemen. ”
The two listened to Hua Xiongmao's words and quickly got up. The man on the left, who is in his forties, looks like a poor sour man at first glance, and his demeanor is pretend. The one on the right, who is in his mid-20s, wears a dark blue cloth robe. How to look at this cloth is familiar, how to look like the cloth dyed by yourself. Hua Xiongmao noticed Chen Ke's gaze and squeezed his eyes at Chen Ke. Chen Kehua Xiongmao must have paid attention.
Chen Ke invited the two to sit down, and the gentleman, who was in his 40s, boasted that he was familiar with the 24th history and would definitely be of great help. While boasting, Chen Tianhua had also come over to sit next to him and listen. Chen Ke casually tested, "This gentleman, what cases did Zhang Tingwei and Zhang Shizhidu of the Han Dynasty decide?" ”
Zhang Shizhi was not a figure during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When Chen Tianhua heard this, he knew that Chen Ke was uneasy and kind, and almost laughed out loud. The poor sour obviously couldn't answer. He hummed and wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to say it, and his face turned red. Still can't tell. Chen Ke politely sent him away.
After coming back, without waiting for Chen Ke to speak, the young man said calmly: "I read what is written on the poster, so I asked me to find the corresponding content in the book, right?" ”
"That's right."
"Someone told me where to look, right?"
"That's right."
"Don't test me, sir, then. I haven't read all of my twenty-four histories, let me do what is on the poster, I can do it. If you test me, I won't be able to answer anything. ”
Chen Ke and Hua Xiongmao's eyes lit up, and Chen Ke asked, "Then what have you read?" ”
"Historical Records."
"Can you answer that question?"
"One is a startling horse, and the other is a jade thief, right?"
"So what did I say wrong?"
"It should be Emperor Wen of Han, not Emperor Wu of Han."
Chen Ke and Chen Tianhua both smiled. Chen Ke then asked, "Can you start work today?" ”
"I see the poster says that this is the place to provide accommodation and food?"
"Yes."
"Let me eat first, okay?"
Hearing this, Hua Xiongmao couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.
"Excuse me."
"Your surname is Xie, and your name is Mingxuan."
"Gui Geng."
“24。”
"What's your reputation?"
"Xiucai."
"Then let's eat."
Even if it's just one more person, as long as it's useful, the overall efficiency will skyrocket. Not to mention Xie Mingxuan's history book skills, just the ability to communicate with people makes everyone like it very much. There is no obstacle to communication between the two sides, and it is really not a problem to do it quickly and slowly. With Xie Mingxuan's help, Chen Tianhua was liberated for a short time. Manuscripts are written much faster.
This "Chinese Cultural Inheritance and the Rise of Materialism" is Chen Ke's materialist view of history. Grandpa Mao said, "Without investigation, there is no right to speak". Marx knew almost nothing about China, so the claims about China in his writings are somewhat ridiculous. The process of slavery, feudalism, and capitalism in Europe is not suitable for China. In China, slavery was still large-scale in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the feudal system of the feudal model was also the main structure of the political situation. Since 221 BC, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, the era of "establishing counties and counties, abolishing divisions and feudal feuds", and the era of centralized power began. Feudalism occasionally appears in history, but it is no longer the mainstream of China's political system.
If we take this change in the political system as a division, China came out of the feudal era more than 2,000 years ago.
By 605 AD, after the imperial examination system was introduced in the first year of the Sui Dynasty, the existence of the hereditary aristocratic group was constantly weakened. Europe's first truly civilian-born head of state is only a mustache who came to power in 1933. In Europe, a commoner wants to go out of the picture, he can wash and sleep. But in China, this is not a fantasy. No matter how unfair the imperial examination system is, this open unified examination is already the fairest of all unfairness. The imperial examination system adheres to the bottom line of fairness.
Both the Song and Ming dynasties had an active capitalist system, and the only difference from Europe was that the bourgeoisie did not come to power and form a political power. Moreover, the dominance of the capitalist system in Europe was also completed after the combination of the capitalist system and the industrial revolution.
Therefore, Chen Ke believes that Marx's comments on China are unrealistic. And those people in China back then followed the trend indiscriminately and copied them bluntly. Chen Ke thinks that he is a ** believer, so he believes that these people have historical limitations and are all playing the piano indiscriminately.
If having an emperor is a feudal system, there are not a few kings in so many countries in Europe. Even after two world wars, the crown of Europe has only fallen three times, Russia, Austria, and Germany. Chen Ke has never understood one thing, a country where there is still a king, a country where the reproductive system of the royal family is more noble than the people's vote, can dare to call itself a democratic country with a shy face. What kind of funny is this?
"The Inheritance of Chinese Culture and the Rise of Materialism", which is the sum of books derived from the materialist view of history that Chen Ke learned in various periods, still needs to be combined with Chinese history. Chen Ke is also a lover of Chinese culture, and from the age of three, he studied Tang and Song poems, the Analects and the Tales of Idioms. Before becoming familiar with modern Chinese, he was first familiar with classical Chinese. Before he learned to criticize others with the word "stupid," Chen Ke knew how Confucius used the word to praise the slick politician.
Coupled with the fact that there have been so many debates on the Internet and read so many related articles and materials, Chen Ke is very optimistic about the prospects of this "masterpiece". This is not the 21st century, this is 1905, China in a cultural desert, and once this book is published, Chen Ke is very confident in its influence.
You Wei doesn't care much about Chen's work, and all her attention is occupied by public lectures these days. Facing hundreds of people lecturing is a great challenge and excitement. You Miao never knew that a condescending perspective would make such a difference. It is physiologically impossible for one person to notice hundreds of people at the same time, which You Wei has heard Chen Ke say, and she thinks so. But when standing on the podium, the reaction of the hundreds of people below, You Gou felt that he could see it clearly. In particular, the changes in the mood of hundreds of people will vary according to the content of the lecture.
When You Yu talks about knowledge that everyone doesn't understand, some people will pay more attention, others will be confused, and some people will simply give up. And as soon as those experiments start, everyone's attention is grabbed, whether they understand it or not. The lectures these days have given You a sense of being able to control others. This gave her a great sense of satisfaction.
And the newspapers have already published news about the swim. You Wei didn't dare to let others read it, so she secretly took the newspaper home and locked it in the house to peek. Every word about her made You Yu so excited. Those praising articles made You Gou laugh and burst into flowers, and when she criticized her articles, You Gou sneered at them. Then, resisting the urge to write to the newspaper, he put the article criticizing him in the corner of his study.
It was the last day of the lecture, and You Mu had her clothes neat and spotless. lightly used the fat powder, and took out the flower water from Chen Ke and sprayed it on his body. Miss You went to lecture refreshed. As soon as he left his room, he ran into the second brother, and the brother and sister didn't speak for several days. It's the same today, everyone has their nostrils facing the sky and they go their separate ways. In the hall, I saw my mother sitting there. You Yu hurriedly went up to say hello. "Hello mother."
"I'm going out." Mother asked helplessly. She had a few newspapers in her hand, and You Wei could read them clearly, and two of them were actually "Huangpu Review".
"Yes. Does Mother have any other commands? ”
"When will your school be built?"
"Well, it's early next year."
"Hey......" You Yan's mother sighed, "Two days ago, a friend of your father said that there is a female school in Shanghai that is recruiting teachers, and the salary is not low. I heard that you are famous, and people want to ask if you want to go. ”
"Mother, our school is preparing for construction, and there are so many things that I definitely won't be able to go."
"The headmaster of the schoolgirl has a son. I listen to the meaning over there, this child will inherit the girl's school. But this kid can't run the school. I want to see if your father is willing to get married, and if he does, the school will let you take care of the school. ”
When You Yu heard this, he only felt that his head was big. "It's almost time for lectures. I'll talk about that when I get back. ”
Her mother saw that You Yu was about to slip away again, and waved her hand helplessly, "Your father has been in the foreign school for a few years, what new ideas do you talk about?" It's spoiled you. Go, go, go. You're 23 years old, and I can't control you anymore. ”
This is the seventh and last day of class, and there are a lot of people below. The difference from the previous days is that the people in the front row came to stand in advance, and many of them brought their own stools. After You Gou took the stage, everyone's eyes focused on You Gou. This kind of intensive sight bombardment can no longer make You Gu waver. She began to lecture with a calm expression. In the middle of the conversation, there was a sudden commotion at the edge of the crowd, and the people there began to move elsewhere like frightened fish. Then exclamations, shouts and curses began to sound.
There were a lot of people attending the class, and it was out of order when it was crowded like this. You Gu stood tall and could see clearly. Not only did some people squeeze inside, but there were also people squeezing out, trying to see what was going on. Then the countercurrent screamed when it saw the people at the center of the riot.
The people at the center of the riot were not tall, and you could only see the woman's hair. The hair was messy and unclean. And the center of this riot is moving to its side. After a few moments, You Yu was finally able to see the faces of the women. What they looked like, You Yu didn't see them at all, she only saw the abscesses on those faces. A few women with willow disease were walking briskly towards Youwu. No, I should say run here.
"Miss Youma! Help me! The woman in the lead suddenly let out a scream.
"Miss You, help us." The other women cried out.
By naming them by name, the purpose of these women has already been explained. Qi Huishen was also present, He Zudao was also present, and the foreign devils who originally invited the town have been terminated. It was the few people brought by Wu Xingchen who came up, but in the face of the abscesses on their faces, several men also felt frightened, Qi Huishen and He Zudao, as revolutionary comrades, were still worried about You, one of them grabbed a woman's arm, and then shouted: "Don't go up." ”
As soon as they grabbed the person, they were blocked by the two women, and they simply hugged Qi Huishen and He Zudao, "Uncle! Help me! With that, he buried his pus-covered faces in their chests. Neither of them had been to Fengyue Place, but Qi Huishen had posted flyers everywhere, and the woman's skillful movements made him feel familiar. It's like a Qinglou woman's style.
Qi Huishen and He Zudao couldn't stop people, but they were entangled by others. The two Shandong big men who came to help occupy the field must have been very good at their fists and feet. But they had no experience of beating women in public, and the big sores of the willow disease really scared them. And the woman in the lead also rolled up her sleeves, revealing the large sores on her arms. The Shandong heroes couldn't think of what position to capture without touching abscesses. In this way, the women have rushed through the last line of defense.
You Wei was also so frightened that he couldn't move, and after the three women got on the podium, one on both sides hugged You Wei's thighs, and the one headed by them grabbed You Wei's arm.
"Miss You! Help me! ”
You Wei only felt that the world was spinning, and he was drowsy, only to hear the woman shouting: "Miss You, who doesn't know that you have created a cure for flower willow disease on the beach, but you can't be unkind to the rich!" "This woman probably can also sing, and her voice is very good. The words are clear and understandable. The audience in the audience saw this live drama, and heard that You Wei had created a medicine to cure flower willow disease, and heard "for the rich is not benevolent". Immediately became interested. Although they did not dare to go so far, none of them wanted to leave. Everyone looked at the stage intently, as if the lecture forum had become a stage.
