This seems a bit provocative. Like Xu Wenfu, Jiao Yinju studied in several Western countries, is proficient in English, French, and Chinese German, and is a joint professor in the Department of Spanish and Chinese. Perhaps in his opinion, this young and majestic Admiral can speak a political opinion, but he may not even be able to talk about how to run a university.

Xu Si had been pondering Long Qian's words. This general, who was praised by his father, was by no means a warrior. However, Mr. Jiao Yinju Jiao is not a good type, his words are sharp, and even his father avoids three points.

Long Qian smiled slightly, "Mr. Jiao, right?" That's a good question. In Long's view, universities are the cradle of cultivating the national spirit and the best carrier of cultural inheritance. Universities do not look at whether there are first-class Western buildings, but whether they have first-class masters and whether they can train first-class masters. ”

It was cold for a few moments, and then burst into applause. Jiao Yinju, who asked the question, stroked his silver hair, savoring Long Qian's answer, although he didn't understand what the "carrier" was, but he looked at the text and righteousness, and the general meaning would not be wrong, "The contemptible people deeply agreed with General Long's high opinion. It's great that universities should have and train masters......"

Immediately after standing in the first row, an emaciated middle-aged man in a black cotton robe, wearing a pair of enamel glasses, spoke in a Jinan accent, "Contemptible Qiu Muchun, I want to ask Admiral Long a question." According to Mr. Xu's office, Admiral Long once studied at a university in the United States, and according to the Admiral, how should this university be run? ”

Xu Wenfu stood up and introduced, "Qiu Jiaoxi is a professor of ethics and studied abroad at the French Higher School of Political Science. It's my classmate. ”

"It turned out to be Professor Qiu. Well, I once told President Xu that to run a university well, we must adhere to the tenet of 'inclusiveness, openness and inclusiveness'. Only when the flowers of freedom of thought bloom can academic results be produced. ”

"Ah, 'inclusive, open and inclusive', that's right, Qiu has learned."

"Contemptible Zhao Hanmu. Ask General Long. Our school has been created since the year of Gengzi, and it is also regarded as a blue thread of the road, and it is extremely hard. Contemptible people know that there are thousands of conditions for running a good university, but the most important one is to have money. Admiral Daolong has always been enthusiastic about education. It is quite a blessing to our school. However, it relies on a small number of grants and very small donations. Always struggling to make ends meet. If tuition fees are raised, it will be difficult for more poor scholars to get the opportunity to go to university. For this reason, Mr. Wenfu is very worried. I wonder what General Long has to solve the school's worries? ”

The question was asked by Mr. Gao Wu. Long Qian knew him. This person is Zhou Xuexi's cronies, and he once followed Zhou Xuexi to Yizhou to handle Huayuan Group's donation to the school.

"Mr. Gao is right, raising tuition fees is self-defeating. Long has been in the United States for many years, and American universities are divided into private and public, and in general, private universities are more prestigious. So are private universities charging more? Not really. So where do private universities get funding? Quite simply, it is a voluntary donation from the graduating students. ”

"Ah, this seems a bit unbelievable. Will there be a lot of student donations? Gao Guangrun asked suspiciously.

"Yes. Some students who have achieved excellent results in the business world will volunteer to donate large sums of money to their alma mater. Mr. Gao, when the students enter the society after graduation and achieve a series of good results, he feels that all this comes from the cultivation and education of his alma mater, so this kind of donation becomes possible. The school will donate money for the construction of school buildings, libraries, laboratories and other facilities, for the recruitment of better teachers, for scholarships for students with excellent academic performance, and for those students from poor families to complete their studies. All expenditures must be reported to donors truthfully, transparently and in a timely manner. Moreover, it is necessary to fully respect the wishes of the donor, for example, if the donor wishes to build a school building named after him. The donor's consent is required for the change of use. ”

The teachers and students did not continue to ask questions for a while.

"Gentlemen, there is a positive interaction. Students are grateful to the school and will have voluntary donations. Then, the school should not only teach the students knowledge, but also teach them to be human beings, teach them truth, goodness and beauty, and teach them to take responsibility. When students leave school and step into the society, using the knowledge and morality taught by the school to become the backbone of the society, they will be grateful to their alma mater and give back to their alma mater in their own way, and donating money is only the smallest return. And the school must treat the students as the most sophisticated and excellent products, and strive for this. And not to make money. Only by cultivating students as talents will the school become bigger and bigger. ”

This time, it was Xu Wenfu who personally asked, "General Long's high-level remarks are really thought-provoking!" Straight to the key know-how of running a school! Now I would like to ask the general a question, do you think Shandong University Hall can become a first-class university in China? ”

"I have no doubt about this! The key to running a good university is not financial support, but whether it has the right teaching policy. Principal Xu was able to call me a martial artist to talk about the teachers and students, which shows Mr. Xu's tolerant mind. As long as we have this kind of mind, we will have the basic conditions to become a first-class university. Qilu is a place where humanities gather and heroes come out, since there can be such a profound influence on the national character in Shandong as Confucius two thousand years ago, why can't it produce a first-class university in the world? In addition, in terms of funding, the Fifth Town, Huayuan, Zhongxing Industrial and other departments will do their best to provide financial support for Shandong University, and I, as the commander of the Fifth Town, promise here that the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Town will donate 3% of their salaries to the school, and the school's infrastructure projects can be called upon to serve the engineer units of the Fifth Town free of charge. In addition, I will also lobby Huayuan and ZTE to donate no less than 300,000 taels of silver to Shandong University every year! ”

The audience immediately applauded! This time it was sincere, and even ordinary students knew the weight of this commitment.

Xu Si applauded emotionally, feeling that the young general on the stage was even more cute, he not only knew music, could compose music and lyrics, but also knew so much about education and supported his father's school, no wonder his father said that it was a local blessing to have this person sitting in Shandong.

"On behalf of all the teachers and students of the school, I would like to thank General Long for his generous commitment and strong support. Finally, I would like to ask the Shogun to say a few words to the students, and make a little request. Xu Wenfu's face was full of red light. Emotional. He didn't know how much the 3% of the Fifth Town's military salary was, but the annual donation of no less than 300,000 taels of silver was definitely worthy of his full compliment to this general.

"Well," Long Qian looked at the students below, "As the old saying goes, 'The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband', but everyone's responsibilities are different. I hope that the students here will become the pillars of the country after they leave the campus, whether they are engaged in politics or education, or take over the teaching whip from the hands of the teachers and step onto the podium, they will link their own destiny with the future of the country. A country can only prosper if everyone works hard. will revive the glory of the ancestors. On learning. Long doesn't dare to compare with you, but Long knows that in the long history, our China has been ahead of the world for most of the time! Why can't China be revived? For what kind of advanced knowledge of foreigners we can't master? It doesn't make sense. So. Everyone should have confidence in the country. Have confidence in the Chinese nation. As for expectations. I think that if you don't accumulate steps, you can't go a thousand miles, and you can set up a thousand ambitions. It also depends on small step-by-step efforts. I hope that everyone will study hard in school, actively pay attention to the changes in the current situation, pay attention to people's livelihood and suffering, cultivate their body and mind, and be an excellent student with both mental and physical health. After graduation, you have to choose your own career according to your hobbies, society is a complex machine, countless departments and people make up this machine, only every part is qualified, the machine will run well. As far as I am concerned, I have never considered one line to be noble and one line to be low. Is the farmer lowly? Without a farmer with his back to the loess, we would starve to death! Are the workers low? Without the work of the workers, we would not even be able to wear clothes. Are soldiers low? Without the dedication of the soldiers, there would be no security for the country, and we would be slaves of a foreign race! I am the one who led the troops, four years ago, led his troops to the north of King Qin, in the case of roughly equal numbers, in the case of roughly equal numbers, in the northern suburbs of Tianjin, with the Eight-Nation Coalition Army in a bloody battle, defeated the invading army and captured hundreds of people under the enemy Lieutenant General Seymour. In that battle, hundreds of elite soldiers trained by me were killed, and with the spirit of sacrificing for the country, they fought to the death against the well-equipped invading army, fighting with white knives, and the land of the motherland was stained red with blood! One of my good company commanders, that is, the officers, had been cut open in the stomach by the enemy's bayonets, and his intestines were leaking out, and when I rushed over, he was no longer dead, but he kept looking at me, trying to say the worst words. I knew what he wanted to say, and I told him, don't worry, the battle is won! Your family forces will take care of it and will not let them starve and be displaced. He died in front of me, and he will never forget it. In my eyes, those sacrificed, wounded soldiers are the most admired people in this country! If all armies had this spirit, not to mention tens of thousands of enemies, hundreds of thousands, millions, we would defeat them and destroy them all the same! Students, after graduation, politics is not the only way, and business is not the best choice, as long as you become a master in the industry you are engaged in, you will live up to the high expectations of your teacher and not disgrace your alma mater! Here, I solemnly promise that if all of you here are willing to join the army in the Fifth Town, there will definitely be a broad stage for you to display your talents and compose the most colorful movement of life! ”

More applause. All the teachers and students stood up and applauded Long Qian's last sentence.

The Battle of Xigu was the only bright spot in the Gengzi national disaster, and the capture of Lieutenant General Seymour provided the only weight for Li Hongzhang's later diplomatic negotiations with the foreign powers. But this is not known to everyone.

Xu Si didn't know what to do. After Long Qian's speech, Xu Si finally inquired about the general process of the bloody battle on the outskirts of Tianjin. In addition to shock and admiration, Xu Si thought of the impassioned and blood-boiling military song of the fifth town. She stubbornly believed that only a general who had experienced such a bloody battle could compose such a song. She eagerly hoped for a chance to consult Long Qian in person, but she didn't have a chance to ask questions at that lecture, and then the general was surrounded by teachers, and she lost the opportunity to communicate closely. She would have liked to ask the general some questions in person, but she didn't have the chance.

Xu Si began to encourage his father to invite the general to his house for dinner, saying that she had a musical problem to ask for advice. Xu Wenfu ignored her request, saying that the Admiral, how can you have time to listen to what music you say? It's just nonsense.

Xu Si simply ran to the Fifth Town Headquarters to ask to see the general, but he couldn't enter the gate of the headquarters. The doorman didn't even listen to her reasons (perhaps thinking it was ridiculous), much to her disappointment. Because of the general's speech, Xu Si began to pay attention to the soldiers who appeared on the street from time to time, and indeed, these soldiers were very disciplined and very special. They seldom act alone, and when two people appear, they are in a row, and when three people are in a column, they walk in a neat step and do not squint. As for disturbing the people, there is no such thing, at least Xu Si has not heard of it.

How did that man come up with such an army? What secrets does he have? Xu Si longed to be able to contact the general alone and ask him some questions. About a month later, my father talked about the Americans' investment in Jinan, and said that those American companies were all attracted by General Long Qian's subordinates. When Xu Si was in doubt, he got a chance to meet the general face-to-face, which completely changed his life. (To be continued......)
