After Wuhan was taken, it was still under the management of the military government for three years.

But Zhang Chun didn't like the situation in Wuhan at first. Narrow streets, chaotic buildings, or dense buildings. There are not many urban public facilities, and the countless poor people and their shanty towns brought about by years of war. Countless large smoke houses and casino brothels #. Even if Zhang Chun took Wuhan, he did not dare to ban it immediately, that is, the place where ordinary people sold their sons and daughters. Because it's okay not to ban them, but banning those people is a dead end.

Some soldiers, policemen and students who grew up in Hubei were shocked by all this. And then it was caught off guard.

With a population of 600,000, a huge crowd is concentrated in this city to make a living. In the era when there was no planning, no design, it caused extremely poor living conditions.

"It's not a city, it's hell." Zhang Chun once said this to Wu Hao.

At the same time that Zhang Chun used the Sass Commercial Bank to pull away the merchants, he began to use land reform to evacuate the people in the slums, and Daye and Hanyang Gun Factory were just a resettlement experiment, and Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin gradually had the basic ideas and practices for the transformation of Wuhan because they carried out the practice of urban planning there. Urban construction does not need to be centralized but decentralized, and excessive concentration of cities will put pressure on future transportation, employment, etc., and all factories should be as close as possible to the raw material production base. All planning should revolve around the transportation system, which makes it easier to configure. The reason for not distinguishing between urban and rural areas is that it is more conducive to population resettlement.

In addition to long-distance rail transportation, the transportation system should also be supplemented by short-distance trams.

Liang's vision is being widely discussed at Xinmin University.

And Zhang Chun ignored the opposition of Liang Qichao and the Wuhan elders who begged him. It was left in Wuhan for a year, only providing basic living guarantees for citizens, and even in the case of a large-scale evacuation of all industries. This led to a sharp decline in the population of Wuhan.

At the end of 1923. There are just over 300,000 people left in Wuhan.

In order to drag the "public opinion", Wu Hao, who is good at tai chi, was transferred to Wuhan and served as the secretary general of the Wuhan Municipal Government. helped Liang Qichao resist the boiling public sentiment.

The reason why many people who have confidence in Zhang Chun still have confidence is that in addition to the transformation of Daye and the gun factory. It's the renovation of the school.

National Wuchang Normal University was directly renamed Wuhan University, with the Department of Philosophy of Education, the Department of Chinese Literature, the Department of English, the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Physics and Chemistry, the Department of History and Sociology, the Department of Biology, and the Department of Geology. The management of Wuhan University, with Shi Ying as the president of Wuhan University, began to keep it intact. Soon, however, Shi Ying resigned due to different political views on the governance of Wuhan. Some professors have also resigned.

Cai Yuanpei is also the president of Wuhan University, and Yuan Fang has been separated from Gu Ming for a long time, so he went to Wuchang this time. He served as the vice president of Wuhan University and presided over the work here.

The Institute of Liberal Arts, Teachers College, and School of Music of Xinmin University were all relocated to Wuhan University. In other words, all the liberal arts departments have not missed a single one, and they have all gone to Wuhan University.

Department of Mineral Resources, Xinmin University. It was divided into the School of Surveying and Mapping and the University of Geosciences. The University of Geosciences moved to Wuchang. Cai Yuanpei invited Li Siguang, vice president of Xinmin University, to be in charge of the University of Geosciences. This time Li Siguang came.

Xinmin University has more than 10 professional colleges, plus professional and technical branches in Jingzhou, Yichang and Xiangyang, almost all of which are science, engineering and business departments.

Wuhan University sits on Luojia Mountain, close to East Lake, and the environment is acceptable. There are more than 3,000 teachers and students from Xinmin University, who are stationed at Wuhan University. Military training, labor. From the principal to the teachers, they all participated in the construction of the new teaching building, and the way of learning was free, and the students presented their papers in the academic hall, and the professors just commented and asked questions below. A large number of student papers are made up of a library and reference room. This was a great shock to the original students of Wuhan University.

Young people integrate relatively quickly, so even more than 1,000 students from Wuhan University have followed suit. The professors who stayed behind also had more time for research. Because the lectures are held in the academic hall, it is actually a process of research and discussion.

The private Chung Hua University also gave sufficient subsidies, and the president Chen Shi was in trouble because the board of directors of Chung Hwa University withdrew its capital one after another, Xinmin Bank directly injected capital and entrusted Chung Hua University to train banking, accounting, finance and taxation professionals, and the original two campuses were also merged.

The newly established University of Geosciences has a small number of people, but the territory given to Li Siguang is not small at all, and it is across the lake from Wuhan University. At this time, the East Lake was much larger than in later generations. Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, who completed the task of Daye's urban transformation, brought people to design the University of Geosciences, and also gave lectures to the University of Geosciences in the grass-roots period. Because of high-rise buildings, geology is also an important course. Although the perspective of the station is different, the flexible, practical education method, and rigorous academic attitude have opened Li Siguang's eyes.

Kuang Rongguang and people from the School of Surveying, Mapping and Survey also came here to communicate several times.

In particular, when Wang Renbin arrived at the University of Geosciences with the complete exploration and drilling results of the Jianghan Oilfield, it aroused the amazement of the members of the Geological Society who came to congratulate him. Wang Renbin moved the teachers and students of the entire Jianghan Oilfield Geological Exploration College to form the foundation of the University of Geosciences. The Jianghan Oilfield only left an oilfield technology research institute.

Kuang Rongguang and Wang Renbin went to Wuhan because Daye's coal and iron mines could no longer be mined in a disorderly and barbaric manner, and they needed to be planned and designed. Mine design is not something Liang Sicheng can do.

The design review of the University of Geosciences was conducted at the Xinmin Research Institute.

Li Siguang and Yu Wenjiang of the Geological Society, Zhu Tinghu, who had just returned from the United States from the Geological Survey of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, Yuan Fuli, who had returned from Gansu, and Zhang Hongzhao, who had come to congratulate him, participated in the design review. In their view, the campus design of just a school, covering geology, architecture, environment, materials, physics, mechanics and other disciplines, these young scholars of the Xinmin Research Institute have rich practical support, systematic thinking, and a strict and almost demanding academic attitude. made Li Siguang, who refused to serve here because he looked down on Xinmin University at the beginning, feel a little embarrassed.

Li Siguang didn't recognize Zhang Chun and Lizhi who were sitting in the middle of the students in the back row at first.

When Zhang Chun and Lizhen stepped forward to shake hands with Li Siguang, Zhang Hongzhao and others, the five of them thought that they were at most just student union cadres and the like.

It wasn't until Cai Yuanpei introduced that Li Siguang was taken aback.

Zhang Chun smiled and said: "Thank you for coming here to see, isn't there an Anderson in the Geological Society, what he took away from Jigu Mountain is our national treasure." Can you find a way to find it and circle it in the University of Geosciences? Now our country does not have the ability to protect those national treasures, and it is better to find them later than earlier. ”

Yu Wenjiang, the honorary director of the Geological Survey Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, said with a little embarrassment: "We can try to see if we can keep the physical objects found in China." ”

Zhang Chun invited a few people to visit the latest experimental building of the Xinmin Research Institute, advanced microscopes and other instruments and equipment, and even Zhu Tinghu, who had just returned from the top laboratory in the United States, was amazed. Because of a lot of instruments and equipment, even he has never seen it.

At first, they were amazed, but then they didn't, because the students who worked in it would politely come over and say, "Can you be quiet, we're working." ”

These students don't have much fear of these big shots, and even Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Chun look at them equally.

Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Chun actually apologized.

Watching the students clear the lab with a satisfied demeanor, the soundproof door was closed.

Li Siguang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

These students led by Wang Renbin are not as bullish as the research institute. However, in Li Siguang's opinion, it is lawless enough. Because they didn't believe in any authority, Zhu Tinghu was asked in a cold sweat in his first class. In the end, I did not dare to draw conclusions about the discovered geological phenomena, but only told the facts and possible laws discovered in the course of actual investigation. The energy of the University of Geosciences made the five members of the Geological Society dare not return to Beijing, because they feel that some of their academic papers are too sloppy and even the students can publish them, which is really shameful.

The reconstruction of the University of Geosciences and Wuhan University is an extension of the transformation of Daye. With the completion of the reconstruction of the Wuchang section of the railway, Wuchang began to demolish the shantytowns.

The transformation of Wuchang District is due to the fact that with the land reform in Daye, Macheng and other places and the construction of related factories, it has the capacity to accommodate urban residents. Urban renewal can also consume a certain amount of labor. Hanyang, based on the Hanyang Gun Factory, where students and working groups are spreading out in the surrounding villages and small towns, has undergone land reform but construction has lagged behind.

The changes in Wuchang and Hanyang made Hankou a little impatient, and began to spontaneously carry out some basic work according to the Wuchang model.

Urban renovation is not something that ordinary people can do on their own, because it requires a lot of food, material support and rigorous organizational skills.

The atmosphere of the entire Wuhan city demanding change has gradually formed, and Li Dazhao and his work have become much easier. It's just that Wu Hao's work has become busier, and he used to protest and intercede all day long. Now there are countless small groups asking to join the building and all sorts of quirky proposals.

Yi Wu Hao's patience was a little irresistible, and he complained to Zhang Chun: "Look, the muscles on my face won't move, it's too difficult to keep smiling all day long." (To be continued......)
