(2nd Update)

Although the name Cai Yuanpei was like thunder, the scene suddenly fell into an extremely strange silence, and several other people were silent, which made Ye Kai a little confused, what is there in this?

"Since Ma Lao recommended it, then this person should have some great ability. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He looked at Tang Wenzhi and said, "Just now, Ma Lao said that this Cai Yuanpei is the chief teacher of Nanyang Public School, and Principal Tang should be no stranger, what do you think of this person?" ”

Tang Wenzhi said in a difficult voice, "Good Governor, Cai Yuanpei has been dismissed. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Cai Yuanpei was wanted by the former Liangjiang Governor Duan Fang four years ago, and is still in exile overseas." Tang Wenzhi said solemnly.

At this time, Ye Kai understood, no wonder so many people were nervous just now, they were afraid of being tied up with the word "revolution", Cai Yuanpei is a veteran of the Alliance, this Ye Kai knows, but he doesn't know that he did these things in the late Qing Dynasty.

"Although Cai Yuanpei's heart is revolutionary, he is not a chaotic party, the Chinese Education Association he founded, the constitution is clear, there are a lot of facts, it is a rare talent, Fang Cai Liangdu also said, talking about education does not avoid taboos, so the old man dared to recommend this person, if the governor of Liang felt that it was not appropriate, just as the old man just said nothing." Ma Xiangbo spoke straightforwardly, he and Cai Yuanpei had a deep relationship, and they could be regarded as like-minded.

"Ma Lao is okay, what the governor just said is very clear, there is no forbidden area in education, anything can be discussed, even if it is a revolutionary, as long as there is real talent and real learning, I will treat it as the same."

For the word "revolution", others may avoid it, but Ye Kai is not afraid of getting into trouble.

First, he is a supervisor, even if others point fingers, they don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, and secondly, Ye Kai attaches more importance to talents themselves and pursues the principle of meritocracy.

Perhaps three or four years ago, the word revolution was still a flood beast, but time has changed, after the death of Cixi, the central government has no authority, the new emperor Puyi is young and ignorant, and the successor Zaifeng is weak and unscrupulous, and Yi-劀 came to power, which is already very, and now there are many constraints, which also causes the phenomenon of the governor and the tail not to fall, and the phenomenon of ignoring the central government has occurred repeatedly, laying the root cause for the future warlord melee, on the eve of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, it is not uncommon for officials to befriend the revolutionary party, and some people even came up with the idea of ceding Tibet to the revolutionary party for "experiments". In just three years, it is really grotesque.

"In this way, trouble Ma Lao, recall Cai Yuanpei back to China, if this person really has real talent and learning, this governor will reuse it as appropriate." Ye Kai said directly.

"The old man must do his best." Ma Xiangbo replied.

"This matter will be put aside for a moment, I will call you here today, there is a more important thing, although there are many colleges and universities in Shanghai, but the time since they were founded is only one or two decades at most, the foundation is shallow, the scale is not large, and compared with Western universities, the gap is obvious, so the governor thinks, can we imitate the Western system and change the 'public school' to 'university'?"

Ye Kai mentioned this, and the response was one after another.

As of 1911, there were no serious universities in China, although there were many university halls in the local and central government, but strictly speaking, they were not universities, taking the Beijing Normal University Hall as an example, in addition to the basic educational function, it also took into account certain administrative functions, more like "Guozijian", and the establishment of a university has always been a matter of Ye Kai's heart, taking this opportunity, he proposed to discuss with you.

Ma Xiangbo has been an educator for many years, and he is also a priest of the French Catholic Church, proficient in the Western education system, and the establishment of a university is also something he dreams of.

"Where's Principal Tang?" Ye asked.

"Although I agree, it is a little difficult for Nanyang College to be converted into a university."

Tang Wenzhi has his own difficulties, Nanyang College was founded at the beginning to cultivate practical talents, belongs to the combination of universities, high schools, technical schools, and normal schools, and it is really a bit troublesome to change it into a university.

"Since this is the case, then divide it into three, and divide Nanyang College into three parts, namely the university, the normal college, and the technical school, President Tang, what do you think?"

"The new university is called Jiaotong University, taking the meaning of heaven and earth and all things are connected, the normal school is located in East China, it is called East China Normal University, and the junior college technology lies in the words 'should' and 'use', so it is called the University of Applied Sciences."

Tang Wenzhi nodded from time to time.

The remaining two, Aurora College and Tongji Medical Hall, one run by the French and the other run by the Germans, were changed to Aurora University and Tongji University respectively, plus Fudan University, which was changed from Fudan Public School, there are six universities at once.

Although the six universities seem to be a lot, so far they are just changing their names, and the key to the success of the transformation is money, and Ye Kai has also initially thought about this.

"The funds for running the school are tentatively planned to be drawn from the silver of the Shanghai Customs, about 500,000 taels a year, and if the rest is not enough, the governor is mobilizing the people and merchants to raise donations, and when the university is set up, a new campus can be built in Pudong in the future."

Ye Kai's answer can be regarded as solving their worries, if there is no money to run a university, it is really difficult for a clever woman to find a rice cook.

Ye Kai knows that running a first-class university is a long process, and it may take decades to pave the way, but in any case, in this era, it is a little earlier to be able to do so.

"You should pay attention to the 16 words in running the school, be free of thought, be inclusive, defend the truth, and serve the country and the people. In this way, it is worthy of the "big" word in college. ”

Ye Kai's last words left a deep impression on their hearts.

After taking care of this matter, when she returned to the Governor's Office, it was already approaching evening, and Han Cuier was waiting for Ye Kai with her stomach up, the meal had been prepared and it was still hot.

Maybe after experiencing today's events, I can't help but think of the previous time, when Ye Kai was always distracted when he was eating.

"Either way, no matter what."

As soon as he stretched out his chopsticks, Ye Kai frantically picked up the rice.

In two or three days, Dai Hongci will arrive, and the next joint trial is destined to consume energy and energy, and his stomach cannot be hungry. (To be continued.) )
