The treatment given by Wang Yi shocked Xu Shichang for a long time, and he was speechless.

"You can ask any other questions and requests! It's my business whether I agree or not, and it's your business whether to say it or not. ”

Xu Shichang didn't answer lightly, and pondered for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "No, Mr. is very thoughtful, and Xu is willing to follow Mr.'s arrangement." ”

The conditions given by Wang Yi have exceeded the best result of the discussion with Yuan Shikai before Xu Shichang came, to be content, and those who are content are always happy. Otherwise, it will be too much, but it will make the king look lightly.

"Now that the business is over, I don't know what Mr. Xu's plans will be next? If it's okay, why don't I take it around the Northeast now? Wang Yi smiled, seeing that Xu Shichang was a little hesitant, and after thinking about it, he also knew the reason, so he said again: "Lord Yuan, you don't have to worry, you write a letter now, and I will send someone to send it." ”

"Thank you, sir, since Mr. commanded, Xu Mou'an dared not obey."

The reason why Xu Shichang was left was because Wang Yi felt that others were good. At least in the modern history of later generations, Xu Shichang's personality, vision and ability are beyond their kind in the era of Beiyang. If it can really be used by Wang Yi and can be compatible with the government of the Northeast Autonomous Region, he may not be the best candidate for the prime minister of the Northeast Autonomous Region in the future.

Because the business had been discussed, Wang Yi took Xu Shichang to meet Tong Qianjia and Jiang Jiaren again, and after waiting for a while, Shen Yazhi came back from the hospital with Lin Tae-hee, Han Xiujing and Kim Yun'er. If it were an ordinary woman, Xu Shichang would not be too restrained, but this is the family of Wang Yi, the leader of the Northeast bandits, so he doesn't know where to look.

After drinking coffee and eating cake, Wang Yi did not follow Shen Yazhi back to Ningdao, but took Xu Shichang to turn around in Dashang. I first went to the Dashang Affiliated Hospital, and then to Dashang University. Speaking of the latter, Xu Shichang has heard of the famous name for a long time, and he is also very excited to be lucky to go today.

In Xu Shichang's thoughts, the university in the Northeast should be similar to the Guozijian in the capital, but when he arrived at the place, he realized that he was very wrong. This vast complex of buildings is not so much like a national eunuch as it is like a large newly built palace. A large number of new building materials, as well as the application of architectural design, make Dashang University unique. The people inside and there are constantly coming and going, so that they are not as guarded as Xu Shichang imagined.

"Does Mr. Xu know the Burrow?"

Xu Shichang nodded, isn't this a joke? He came out of the imperial examination like this, how could he not know the Burrow.

"The Burrow is inscribed in the whole Tang Dynasty, and there is much debate as to who made it. One is from Liu Yuxi, and the other is from Cui Wei (沔, read mian three tones) earlier than Liu Yuxi. ”

Wang Yi knew Liu Yuxi, but as for who Cui Wei was, he didn't know very well. When I was in school, the Chinese teacher mentioned the Burrow, only saying that the author was Liu Yuxi, and Cui Wei didn't even seem to mention it. With a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, he said: "I don't really remember all about the Burrow, but I only remember that one of the sentences seems to be talking and laughing, and there is no white correspondence?" ”

"That's right."

Seeing that Xu Shichang wanted to memorize the full text, he immediately stopped it, and then said, "Mr. Xu, but I don't agree with that point of view." In my university, we respect people who are knowledgeable, and we do not exclude those who are interested in learning. ”

"Mr. Gaoyi, Confucius said that there is no class in teaching, and it should be so."

Wang Yi found that although Xu Shichang was mixed with the army, he had also brought out a bit of military spirit in recent years. But compared to myself, the ability to chew words is too bad.

The two walked casually in the university, many of them were Wang Yi's students, and after seeing Wang Yi, they greeted each other very affectionately. It's cold, but it's hot. This feeling of peach and plum all over the world made Xu Shichang a little envious, and then he couldn't help but sigh: "Since the Han Taixue, the world will no longer see such a peaceful and prosperous scene for a thousand years!" ”

"Ha, Mr. Xu's words are wrong! I, Wang Yi, don't agree with this. ”

"I'll ask Mr. for advice."

"The name of Taixue originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but since the Han Dynasty Dong Zhongshu, the world began to respect Confucianism, and Taixue has also become a place to teach Confucianism. Later, Zhang Zai, a Song man, once said that he established his heart for heaven and earth, established his life for the people, continued his learning for the saints, and opened peace for all generations. Dare to ask Mr. Xu, you are a Confucian scholar, here Wang is arrogant, can this statement come true? ”

Xu Shichang's expression at this time was a little unpleasant, but he still shook his head and said, "Not successful!" ”

Wang Yi laughed and said, "Mr. Xu, do you know what I am most proud of after Wang Yi led a group of disciples to establish the Northeast Autonomous Region?" ”

Xu Shichang didn't speak, waiting for Wang Yi's next words.

"Education!"

Wang Yi took Xu Shichang to visit the university, and Xu Shichang naturally guessed a little of his true meaning, so Xu Shichang probably vaguely knew the answer to Wang Yi's previous question. But the answer is the answer, in fact, Xu Shichang only knows the word education, as for why Wang Yi attaches so much importance to it, he doesn't know.

"Ten years of trees, 100 years of people. Speaking of which, since Lin Zexu Humen smoked gunpowder, people of insight in the Qing Dynasty have seen that if the country goes on like this for a long time, it will not take more than ten years, and there will inevitably be the worry of extinction of the country and the species, so there is an initiative to open your eyes to see the world. However, everyone forgets that changing a country is fundamentally changing the people of a country. But the education of the Qing Dynasty is still the Confucianism that is a set of old sesame seeds and rotten grains, so what to use to educate the people, and what to compete with the foreigners who have been leading for hundreds of years? ”

Xu Shichang became silent, Wang Yi's reason was very simple, but the simpler it was, the more irrefutable it was.

"After the defeat of the First Opium War, there was the Second Opium War, and the Qing Dynasty was still defeated, and the port was opened with reparations. Then there was Lord Zuo Zongtang's recovery of Xinjiang, which seemed to have taken Xinjiang back, but in fact he lost a large area of territory that originally belonged to us. Not to mention the Qing-French War, where the Mawei shipyard was bombed into ruins and the fleet destroyed. And although the war on the road has a fig leaf like the victory of Zhennanguan, anyone with a discerning eye can see the weakness of the Qing Dynasty. Over the years, have there been fewer such cases? ”

Mr. Xu's words were deeply agreed. However, regarding the theory of Confucianism, I really dare not agree. "If Xu Shichang really agrees, Wang Yi really can't look down on him." I would like to ask for advice below, the current governor of Liangguang, Zhang Zhidong, once said that middle school is the body, and Western learning is for use. I don't know what Mr. thinks? ”

Wang Yi sneered for a while and said, "Mr. Xu, what is middle school and what is Western learning?" ”

Xu Shichang really couldn't answer.

"It's easy to say in middle school, it's hard to say, it's still Confucianism, but what about Western learning?"

"Xia Guan doesn't understand."

"Western Studies...... It was a completely different world from us. ”
