Shanhaiguan is the rear of this epidemic prevention, and when Sun Yuanqi and his entourage arrived here, it heralded the complete end of the epidemic prevention operation. No pop-up window update fast //

The once lonely county town of Linyu is lively again, and the streets and alleys are crowded with young students. They wore neat military training uniforms, wore the golden "Northeast Epidemic Prevention Medal" on their chests, said goodbye to familiar and unfamiliar partners, experienced the feeling of being with their sons for the last time, and then waved fiercely to the northeast and stepped on the southbound train

Sun Yuanqi was not only grateful to these volunteers, but also guilty. This group of young men followed them on the edge of life and death, and at the end of their lives, in addition to the not very rich salary, they could only give them a certificate and a medal.

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, China has formed a relatively complete medal reward system with the 5th class and 11th level Shuanglong Baoxing as the main body. - It should be noted that the word "Baoxing" itself means a medal in the late Qing Dynasty. Now many people call it the "Double Dragon Treasure Star Medal" or "Treasure Star Medal", which is obviously a snake painting, which makes people a little confused. - But the Double Dragon Treasure Star is mainly awarded to foreigners and court officials, for example, Sun Yuanqi has a second-class first Double Dragon Treasure Star, which has no chance with ordinary students.

Because of this, the students cherished this beautiful and meaningful medallion so much that they wore it on their chests as soon as they arrived, and proudly walked into the photo studio to take pictures of this historic moment. Then carefully take it off, put it in the box and put it away carefully, and will not take it out again until important moments such as class reunions and breakups, for fear of any accidents. In case of damage or loss, it will be troublesome. The certificate can be clearly written: the medal number is unique, and it will not be replaced if it is lost!

When this group of young men dispersed one after another, Sun Yuanqi also set off to return to Beijing. The first thing I did after returning to Beijing was to write an excerpt, in addition to reporting the specific process and expenses of the epidemic prevention. Also call in sick.

There were also three types of sick leave in the Qing Dynasty:

The first type, if the illness is not serious or the first time to ask for leave, it is called "to ask for leave for conditioning", which means: I am sick and want to rest for two days, and I can go to work normally when I am well. When the imperial court saw this kind of leave slip, it normally replied: "Reward the leave for ×× days, and recuperate with peace of mind." Illness is marketing leave. "It means: I know, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and come to work early when you are well!

The second type is that the illness is more serious or the second time to ask for leave. Not only do you have to continue to ask for leave, but because you haven't been on duty for too long, you need to "ask someone to do the vacancy", that is, let the imperial court send someone to temporarily do things for you: you can't just stop doing official business because you are sick, right? The imperial court will generally be lenient: "The reward is ×× days." Peace of mind, all vacancies are not assigned to act. "Show that the court still needs you, don't be afraid of losing your position.

The third is that the disease is so sick that it dies or cannot be cured for a long time. This is not only a matter of asking for leave, but also "asking for vacancies". That is, he hoped that the imperial court would dismiss him from public office in accordance with the "Regulations on Civil Servants of the Qing Dynasty". The imperial court will say: "Reward the holiday for ×× days, and recuperate with peace of mind." There is no need to open vacancies. "Then you can steal the fun!

These are all normal approvals, what is abnormal? For example, the unlucky Yuan Shikai, at the beginning of Xuantong's accession to the throne, originally wanted to test the court's attitude towards him with "the foot disease has not healed, and he intends to ask for leave to recuperate", but Zaifeng and others have long hated him to the core, and they can't wait to eat meat, and the court's approval becomes:

"Yuan Shikai, Minister of Military Aircraft and Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been repeatedly promoted by the previous dynasties, and he has been rewarded again and again. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai is now suffering from foot disease, struggling to walk, and it is difficult to be qualified for his job. Yuan Shikai immediately opened the vacancy and returned to his hometown to recuperate, in order to show his compassion. ”

Yo, you're sick? Well, if you're sick, take care of it! directly dismissed Yuan Shikai from public office and sent him home to play in the mud.

According to Xu Shichang's online report, Sun Yuanqi already knew that Yixuan was very prejudiced against himself, and his injury was indeed serious, so he didn't want to be bored.

The next day, the Military Aircraft Department forwarded the following reply: "The academic affairs are the foundation of the country, and they rely on loyal and diligent personnel." The squire has always worked hard and worked hard. This time the Northeast epidemic prevention is feathered. I rely on it deeply, how can I listen to its retirement? Wear the top of the head product, give two months off, and feel at ease. If the illness is slightly cured, it is a marketing leave. ”

Seeing that Yang Du's face was happy, Sun Yuanqi asked suspiciously: "Huizi, what does it mean to wear this head?" ”

Yang Du shook the fan and said happily: "Wearing it is meant to be a hat on your head." Since ancient times, hats have been an important symbol to distinguish between high and low, and the Qing Dynasty is no exception. So, you can understand 'topping' as a hat ornament that distinguishes the rank of an official. The head product is worn, that is, you can wear the ruby top of the first product and enjoy the treatment of the first product. ”

"But I'm still from the second grade, right?" Sun Yuanqi said.

Yang Du smiled: "Yes, because the position of a squire is from the second grade, as long as you are in this official position, you can only be from the second grade." The crown is a gift, according to the custom, the emperor can reward the unofficial person with a certain quality of wear, or he can add a higher crown to the inferior official reward. Baixi, you are the latter. ”

"Is there any use for anything other than a prettier hat and a higher salary?" Sun Yuanqi felt, how could this be like "enjoying ministerial-level medical treatment" in later generations?

What else is it for? Yang Du was obviously choked, and said for a long time: "Although Xuantong has been a little overflowing in the past few years, donating funds, handling river works, repairing mausoleums, contributing to running schools, and reuniting can all get this reward, but in the final analysis, it is still a little useful." Especially when you are so young, for example, when you encounter a promotion opportunity, you will definitely be considered first. You are already a left waiter, and you are wearing a head, so you can't still be asked to go to various departments to be a waiter, right? In this way, you have only three possibilities for promotion in the future: a certain scholar, a governor of a certain province, and maybe even a governor of a certain place. Isn't that great? ”

For this kind of verbal but unreal reward, Sun Yuanqi is very uninterested. Since the imperial court let him recuperate with peace of mind, he had to make an appearance, and the next day he moved back to Jingshi University from the city, and began a rare leisurely life accompanied by Vera and Lilith.

In the 10th Nobel Prize awarded on December 10, 1910. Tesla's leader finally shook off his hated Edison and won the Nobel Prize in Physics alone for "inventing a series of important electrical devices, including multiphase power distribution systems, alternating current generators, and electronic computers."

The leader is the leader, and whatever he does is extraordinary.

When departing from China. In addition to his luggage, he also took this snow-white pigeon, with only a slight gray on the tips of its wings, and made it all the way to Stockholm. That's it, and he also took this beautiful pigeon with him to the award ceremony in the Blue Hall.

After receiving the check from King Gustav VI of Sweden, the Sect Master turned around and shouted to the audience: "Thomas? Mr. Edison, I don't understand your American humor, but I'll equate this prize to the $50,000 you owe me. It seems that the leader is obsessed with the $50,000 dispute between him and Edison.

The audience was in an uproar.

The feud between the Sect Master and Edison was exposed. and quickly became a hot topic in the global intellectual community. Edison's reputation plummeted, especially within the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which completely cut off his hopes of winning the Nobel Prize.

After the award, the head of the church accepted the invitation of the national academy of sciences. He delivered speeches one after another, and during which he also broke out in shocking words from time to time. For example, at the German Physical Society, the head of the church made a big statement: "Every 500 years there is a scientist like Archimedes or Newton, and every 100 years there are one or two scientists like Galileo and Maxwell." ”

Planck, who was next to him, asked, "What about Dr. Johnson?" ”

The sect leader shrugged: "Now it seems that he is enough to compare with Galileo and Maxwell." But if he abandons damn quantum mechanics and dirty politics. If he devotes all his energy to scientific research, he should be a great scientist of the same order as Newton. ”

Planck smiled again and asked, "Then what position will you and I be in?" ”

The sect leader was surprised: "God! Be sensible, Planck. I'm not talking about you or me, we're just talking about Archimedes, Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, and Johnson. ”

Immediately made Planck disgraced. Become a laughing handle.

Today, in addition to Sun Yuanqi, Martin, and Tesla, three Nobel Prize winners, such as Rutherford, Einstein, and Mileva. and even Zhao Jinghui and Wu Liande are expected to become Nobel Prize candidates. It's no longer the only thing it was back then. In the eyes of European and American scientists, Jingshi University has become a scientific research center that cannot be underestimated.

A few days after Sun Yuanqi's leisurely days, two uninvited guests came to his house, and they were uninvited guests who had to be received: Li Jingfang and Li Jingchu.

Li Jingfang, a cheap uncle, had a relationship with Sun Yuanqi when he was in England at the end of 1907, and gave Cheng Yi two hundred pounds when they parted. At the end of last year, he was just transferred back to China to serve as the left waiter of the Ministry of Posts and Communications. Now that my uncle has come to the door, how can I not see it? As for Li Jingchu, looking at this name, coupled with the joint visit with Li Jingfang, you can guess that this is also an uncle.

Sun Yuanqi was not wrong. Li Jingfang is the biological son of Li Zhaoqing and the adopted son of Li Hongzhang, and Li Jingchu is the second son of Li Hanzhang, and the two are cousins. Now one of the brothers is Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and the other is Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and they have the posture of "brothers in battle".

As soon as they met, Sun Yuanqi hurriedly confessed: "Two uncles, the nephew is injured and can't meet him from afar, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

Li Jingfang, who was walking in front, hurriedly supported Sun Yuanqi: "Baixi doesn't have to be polite, you are injured, lie down quickly." This is my cousin Zhong Heng, the maternal uncle of Duo Xin and Duo Sen, and he can be regarded as your uncle. He and I knew that you were taken by the gangsters and were at home on leave, so we came over to take a look. How is the recovery now? ”

"A little injury, but it bothers the two uncles to go all the way, and the little nephew really can't go. You may be seated! Sun Yuanqi said.

Li Jingfang took out two packets of medicine from his arms: "My father, Wenzhonggong, fought in the south and the north, and worked the battlefield for many years, and nothing else has been passed down, but he has left a lot of good gold sore medicine." Bring it over today, Baixi, how about you try it? ”

Sun Yuanqi thanked him again.

The so-called "nothing to be courteous, if you are not a traitor, you will steal". Although he and Li Jingfang and Li Jingchu are some distant relatives, they are not enough to let the two of them travel forty miles to visit the injuries and give medicines to the wilderness. Therefore, they must have some other intentions on this visit. Starting from this judgment, Sun Yuanqi really saw the clues: although Li Jingchu pretended to greet earnestly and smiled calmly, he felt that he was forcing a smile; Li Jingfang was also a little insincere.

Sun Yuanqi couldn't talk for a long time because of a lung injury, so he asked straight to the point: "Two uncles, I'm afraid you have something important to do when you come this time, right?" The nephew is not an outsider, but it doesn't hurt to say it. (To be continued.) )
