How to deal with it? Sun Yuanqi really couldn't make up his mind for a while. High-speed updates //

According to the previous agreement with Sun Yat-sen in Nanjing, the New China Party and the League should cooperate fully in the cabinet and parliament, and they should warmly welcome Soong Jiaoren and his visit to discuss the matter of joint affairs. However, as Zhang Jian said, Yuan Shikai's proposal to clarify military affairs was justified and reasonable, and even if there might be a conspiracy behind Zhidào's proposal, it was still difficult for Sun Yuanqi to refuse.

Only when you are at home do you know that firewood and rice are expensive.

In the past, Sun Yuanqi read in his spare time, and he felt that he had a million male soldiers in his hands, and in addition to the people and thieves, he was in trouble in the country, and he slaughtered the sun and destroyed Russia to catch up with Britain and the United States, how fast! After the real crossing, it is not like that at all". Ruguo doesn't have two brushes, let alone give you a million male soldiers, even if you give you 10,000 people, you can't play!

Like in the early years of the Republic of China, most of the main body of the army were beggar soldiers, and each person in ruguo could have a Hanyang-made, a military uniform, and a few Makqin and a few mountain artillery, which was definitely the elite of the main force! Even such beggars and soldiers need at least 100 silver dollars per person per year, including salaries, military uniforms, uniforms, guns and ammunition, etc. In other words, just raising a team of 10,000 people every year will cost 1 million grandchildren.

If it's a war, it's even more boundless!

The so-called "when the cannon sounds, the gold is ten thousand taels", for the arms dealers, it is a daily gold, and for those in charge of the army, it is naturally a sunrise gold. If nothing else, the number of shells thrown on the battlefield every day is not a small amount. Add to that the cost of extraction, the wear and tear of guns, the supply of ammunition, the compensation for casualties, medical medicines, ...... All of them add up, at least a few times more on the head of 1 million grandchildren. And in the early years of the Republic of China. The annual fiscal revenue of a medium-sized province is only about 10 million yuan!

Previously, when Yuan Shikai mentioned Shihou with more than 1.2 million soldiers in the country, Sun Yuanqi silently calculated in his heart: according to the standard configuration of beggar soldiers, the annual military expenditure will also need at least 120 million yuan. That's more than one-third of the country's fiscal revenue! In addition to being shocked, Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but secretly agree with Yuan Shikai's proposal to clarify military affairs.

But in this case, how to have a showdown with the Alliance?

According to Tang Shaoyi's regulations, the cabinet will meet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the future to discuss state affairs; The second, fourth, and sixth cabinet members met with Yuan Shikai separately and presented the affairs of various ministries. It means that from tomorrow onwards, you can take a day off except Sunday. The rest is not idle every day. Therefore, after Sun Yuanqi sent Zhang Jian and Tang Shouqian back to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Guild Hall, he returned to the old house on the shore of Shichahai.

Early the next morning, Sun Yuanqi finished breakfast. In the study, he flipped through all kinds of information sent by Chen Xunen. On weekdays, the old mansion was inhabited by Chen Xunen, who was responsible for collecting and processing information in Beijing and China, and delivered it to Jingshi University early the next morning. Now Sun Yuanqi lives here, but Chen Xunen has to go back and forth. And I saw the intelligence earlier than usual.

The contents of the information of the day. In addition to the various government affairs in the four provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Jinjin, and the entanglement of various political parties in Shanghai, most of them focused on the suspicion of state affairs that had been abandoned halfway yesterday. Waiting until the third pole of the day, Sun Yuanqi Yijing finished looking through the information, and was preparing several bills of the Ministry of Education to take a closer look, and planned to submit them to the State Council for discussion tomorrow, when he heard the guard outside the door report: "My lord, the chief of the cabinet Song has come to pay a visit!" ”

As Zhang Jian expected!

Sun Yuanqi hurriedly got up: "Hurry up, please!" As he spoke, he went out and saw Song Jiaoren combing his short hair. Wearing a navy blue cashmere trench coat with a crisp white shirt underneath. Wearing a black tie, Qi Yu walked in proudly. Looking from afar, the end is handsome and heroic. Sun Yuanqi said with a smile: "Chief Song's visit really makes the cold house shine!" ”

Song Jiaoren walked a few steps quickly and shook hands with Sun Yuanqi as a salute: "Mr. Sun, don't bother your late life!" Thinking back to ten years ago, when Song went to Wuchang to invest in the general middle school hall of Wen, he read the textbook compiled by Mr. at that time, and he admired Mr. very much, thinking that Ruguo could educate the world and open up the wisdom of the people like Mr. Yiyàng, which is also a move to make a name for eternity. It's a pity that Song was stupid and had little interest in force, heat, sound and light, so he couldn't follow Mr. Buwu, so he had to join the revolution.

Later, Song returned from Japan and prepared to establish a branch in Wuchang to propagate the revolution. At that time, Mr. Sun happened to be serving as a student envoy in Hubei and establishing schools throughout the province to promote culture and education, so Song took the opportunity to seek a position in the Hubei School of Law and Politics to cover up his identity and contact comrades. In that duanshijiān, Mr. Sun was Song's top boss. Let the enlightenment teacher and the top boss go out to greet him, wouldn't it be tormenting the late students? ”

While talking, the two walked into the study. Song Jiaoren looked up and down a few times, and seemed a little surprised that there were no rare books of Song Yuan on the bookshelf and no celebrity calligraphy and paintings on the walls: "It is rumored in the world that Mr. Sun is rich and rivals the country, but I didn't expect that the residence is so frugal!" ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his head slightly: "Sun may have some money to spare, but to say that he is rich and rivals the country, it would be too absurd!" ”

Song Jiaoren said: "That's the same! Over the years, Mr. Sun has built a large number of projects with the wisdom of ZIJI

industry, should have accumulated a lot of surplus, but Mr. did not ask for land like a rich man, but devoted all his family resources to education. Not to mention Jingshi University, which is known as the No. 1 university in the Far East, it is only a variety of affiliated primary and secondary schools that are densely populated in the north and south of the country, and it costs a huge amount of money every year. Even if the gentleman is rich and rivals the country, how can he support such consumption? Looking at this plain study, and then looking at the Jingshi University that is comparable to a garden, what feelings Mr. Zhidào has! ”

Sun Yuanqi laughed: "It's too much to praise at the beginning!" In fact, this house was given to me by my uncle and grandfather Sun Wenzhenggong (Sun Jianai) when he saw that I had nowhere to live. Later, after the construction of Jingshi University, my family moved to live in the school, and rarely returned to the city, and the house was abandoned here without any deliberate decoration. It was getting late yesterday after attending the State Council, and since Prime Minister Shaochuan said that the Cabinet would meet every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and meet with the President on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, he decided to return here for a few days. Because no one has lived in it for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some cold, but it is not that he deliberately shows people with poverty and thrift! ”

After serving the tea, Song Jiaoren looked at Sun Yuanqi's messy desk and asked, "According to Prime Minister Shaochuan's regulations, a state council should be held tomorrow." Looking at the miscellaneous books on Mr.'s desk, could it be that the Ministry of Education is preparing a shime proposal? ”

Before Song Jiaoren arrived, Sun Yuanqi was reading through all kinds of information transmitted by the China Broadcasting Corporation. In fact, like the Beiyang Department and the Alliance, they also have ziji's intelligence system, and each of them is collecting ziji's information. But it's one thing for them to be in front of them, and it's another thing to be bumped into in person. It's good to masturbate, hide in the house alone and have a pleasant nature, you can play any way; It would be unsightly to be caught by someone breaking into the house.

Sun Yuanqi laughed dryly: "As Dunchu said, the Ministry of Education does have to submit a bill, and there is more than one. In the former Qing Dynasty, China's modern education has been developed to a certain extent, but the investment is not huge enough, the development is not sufficient, and the talents cultivated cannot meet the needs of the society. In particular, the idea of imperial power and the consciousness of official status have seriously restricted the popularization and improvement of education.

"Now that he has entered the Republic of China, it can be said that Jiang Taigong has no taboos here, so many rules and regulations of the former Qing Dynasty need to be revised and re-promulgated. For example, the "Decree on the Purpose of Education", "Decree on the School System", "Decree on Elementary Schools", "Decree on Secondary Schools", "Decree on Teacher Education", "Decree on Vocational Schools", "Decree on Universities", "Decree on Graduate Studies", "Decree on the Conferment of Degrees", etc., although these can be issued in the form of decrees of the Ministry of Education, it is best to be approved by the State Council and issued by the State Council, which can demonstrate the importance that the state attaches to education.

In addition, there are several issues, such as the implementation of national awards for scientific and technological achievements, the establishment of the National Academy of Sciences, and the implementation of compulsory education throughout the country, which are of great importance. Therefore, after the Ministry of Education sent the paperwork, I had to take a look at it to see if there were any mistakes. ”

Song Jiaoren looked interested: "Implement national rewards for scientific and technological achievements? Is it similar to the Imperial Academy Award awarded by Japan last year? ”

In 1910 (Meiji 43), Japan's Imperial Academy established a reward system to reward those who have made special contributions to academic papers, books or other research achievements. In 1911, the first award was given to Sakae Kimura for the discovery of a special item in the study of the earth's axis.

"Escape at the beginning of the year, the Imperial Academy of Japan actually rewarded you?" Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but look at Song Jiaoren with admiration: "Yes, Sun's proposal is indeed similar to the Japanese academy gift, but in view of the large Chinese population and the emergence of many talents, the national reward is limited to science and technology on the one hand, and on the other hand, the number of awards should be expanded, and material rewards should be paid attention to, so as to encourage young people to devote themselves to scientific and technological research." ”

Song Jiaoren asked again: "Then the establishment of the National Academy of Sciences, in addition to limiting the number of members in science and technology and expanding the number of members, is not the other part similar to the Imperial Academy of Japan?" ”

Sun Yuan smiled and said, "Dun Chu is only half right this time!" The Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is to be established, is indeed limited to science and technology, but compared with the Imperial Academy of Japan, it is not an expansion of the number of members, but a shrinkage! The reason is that although there are many people in China, the Kyoto Normal University has only been established for more than ten years, and the formal science education is nearly 30 years later than that of Japan. ”

Song Jiaoren said: "Although we can't compare with Japan in quantity, we are far superior in quality. Not to mention Mr. Sun, even Mrs. Sun is better than the members of the Imperial Japanese Academy! In time, it will be possible to far exceed the number of them. So what's the point of compulsory education throughout the country? At present, the country's military spending has increased sharply and the finances are tight, and President Yuan Da claimed yesterday that the state treasury is unable to make ends meet, so how can there be funds for compulsory education?
