What does it mean for this minister to play this hand? 

Sun Yuanqi looked at the neatly arranged yen, and thought in his heart: Buy me? Bribe me? No, I can't. Stable) Let's not say whether I agree or not, there are still officials from the Qing Dynasty Foreign Affairs Department in the principal's office! A dignified minister wouldn't do such a blatant and mentally retarded thing!

Not only Sun Yuanqi was puzzled, but even the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came with him were also a little surprised.

Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Yasuya Uchida said slowly: "Principal Sun, Changren has carefully studied the development history of your school, and has a certain understanding of your school, and knows that there is only one Japanese teacher in your school, Mr. Nishigunmune. Changren felt that this status quo was extremely incommensurate with the long cultural exchanges between China and Japan.

According to historical records, as early as the time of the Thai Dynasty of your country, Xu Fu led thousands of boys and girls to cross the sea to Yueben, and integrated with the aborigines, forming the early civilization of Yueben and creating a precedent for friendly cultural exchanges between China and Japan. It can be said that it was Xu Fu who brought civilization to us. It can also be said that the Chinese and Japanese people have the same root and origin!

"After the Qin and Han dynasties, Sino-Japanese exchanges became closer. Especially during the Sui and Tang dynasties, in order to learn Chinese culture, China successively sent nearly 20 missions to your country, which can be described as an unprecedented event in the history of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges because of the number of times, the scale of the mission, the length of time, and the richness of the content. The dispatch of envoys from the Sui and Tang dynasties has made great contributions to the development of the Chinese society and the friendly exchanges between China and Japan, and has yielded fruitful results and become a monument to Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges. ”。

"Since the beginning of modern times, China and Japan have been invaded and insulted by Western powers at the same time, and both are determined to change. In this respect, you have taken the lead, and your country does not regard our country as ugly, and actively follows suit. In view of the friendship between China and Japan, China also gives more preferential treatment to students studying in Japan. Right now, thousands of students in your country are studying in various schools in our country. ”。

Sun Yuanqi sneered in his heart: Light emphasizes the same root and the same origin, and Sino-Japanese friendship, why don't you mention the Ming Dynasty's Kou and the Sino-Japanese War more than ten years ago? Isn't it the same as when you played the war of aggression against China? Brother, I've seen a lot on TV and movies! It's up to you to perform.

Yasuya Uchida continued, "Your university's statute stipulates that the university accepts donations from the community, and donations can be made to designate specific faculties, specific disciplines, and even establish corresponding school facilities, including buildings, books, roads, experimental equipment, etc. In order to strengthen friendly exchanges between China and Japan, the Mitsubishi Foundation of China has entrusted an open person to donate 20,000 yen to the Department of Foreign Languages of the Faculty of Letters of your university, hoping to establish a Japanese language major and set up a chair professor in Yuehua. If your school does not have suitable teachers for the time being, our country can send them free of charge.

Only then did the big guys realize that the money was donated to the school. Sun Yuanqi immediately realized a question: Can you ask for this money?

Sun Yuanqi can be sure that the donation sent by the minister is a weasel's New Year's greeting to the chicken. As far as he could think of, there were conspiracy to steal intelligence and cultivate pro-Japanese students. On the previous point, although I said that my intelligence work is pervasive1, the goal is clear, and it is easy to guard. But the latter point is more troublesome, this is a soft knife to kill. You must know that during the Anti-Japanese War, almost all the big traitors and pro-Japanese elements, such as Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai, Chu Minyi, Cao Rushuang, Zhang Zongxiang, Yin Rugeng, Huang Qiuyue, Zhou Zuoren, etc., were all students studying in Japan: people like Zheng Xiaoxu, Wang Yitang, Luo Zhenyu and others visited in this work. If those teachers come, they will bring some private work in class, and develop some downlines among students through small favors and small favors, which is not enough for Sun Yuan to be nerve-wracking?

Then I thought: Why not? The school's charter also states: "The school shall disclose the use of the fees to the donor, but the donor shall not influence any decision made by the school." ”。 Japanese naturally has to be learned, and the foreign language is the key to open the door. But we can find the teacher ourselves and choose the most reliable. It would be good to use these funds to study the political, economic, and cultural aspects of the country and to collect information! After the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, it was said that Ben Guang's claim for military expenses was as high as 200 million taels of silver, and my brother and I can charge some interest today. Anyway, Yuan Shikai's donations have been received, so why not be afraid of another small book. There are many lice and there is no itching, and there are many debts.

By the way, is this a broken argument?

Seeing that Sun Yuanqi agreed to accept the donation, Yasuya Uchida was overjoyed, closed the box, and sat back in his chair: "Principal Sun, as long as necessary, we will definitely send the best teachers to your school, including language, literature, history, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, kendo, karate and many other directions, and strive to promote friendly cultural exchanges between China and Japan." ”。

Sun Yuanqi smiled and declined: "Mr. Uchida's kindness is grateful. But as you know, our school enrolls students in the summer and starts in the fall. It's already autumn, and Si is now preparing for a Japanese language major, and he won't be recruiting until next summer. So, whether we need to have an old ear or not, may get news in the second half of next year. So your kindness can only be understood. In the future, if there is a real need, the open people will definitely bother Mr. Uchida! ”。

Yasuya Uchida nodded yes, but smiled a little reluctantly.

Hantaro Nagaoka, who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines, suddenly interjected: "Cultural exchanges between China and Japan are very necessary, because the cultures of China and Japan are unique and irreplaceable in the world. Chinese culture, in particular, is very profound, always inspiring, and inspiring.

I myself am one of the beneficiaries. ”。

"Oh?". Sun Yuanqi was very curious, how could this Nagaoka be considered a scientist, why did he want to play this troubled water with Yasuya Uchida!

Hantaro Nagaoka explains, "When I was studying at most of Tokyo, I wondered if Oriental people were capable of making original contributions to science. Because the natural sciences are completely imported from the West, and if we East Asians are destined to be unable to do original work, I am not willing to spend my life in it. In order to clarify this question, I once took a leave of absence.

"During my sabbatical period, I read a lot of ancient Chinese books. In the book, I read that the ancient Chinese used to make armillary spheres, compasses, and gunpowder: and ancient Chinese philosophers, such as Zhuangzi, also had the question "The firmament of the sky, its right and evil?" Far away and unreachable? , so there is a deep thought. Therefore, I firmly believe that even Easterners, as long as they work hard, they will be able to make achievements that are not inferior to Westerners.

After coming to this conclusion, I returned to the University of Tokyo to continue my studies and began to dabble in theoretical physics, eventually becoming a professor of physics at the University of Tokyo. Looking back on my past career, I am very grateful for the inspiration of China's excellent culture, and I am willing to make positive efforts to promote cultural exchanges between China and Japan. ”。

Sun Yuanqi nodded while listening, but in fact, he was thinking in his heart: What does this Changgang mean by beating around the corners?

At this time, Tanakakan Ai took out an envelope from his arms and respectfully handed it to Sun Yuanqi, spitting out a series of Japanese words from his mouth. The interpreter beside Sun Yuanqi translated in a low voice: "Mr. Tanakakan said that when he was studying in Europe more than ten years ago, Mr. Nagaoka wrote to him, in which he said that we East Asians will definitely surpass this white man through hard work. He has kept this letter carefully all these years, and often used it to spur himself on, to move forward, and never stop. When he read your paper in a magazine, he found that you had fully confirmed Mr. Nagaoka's prediction. I have come to visit you today, and I would like to bring this letter with me for your attention. ”。

Sun Yuanqi took the envelope with both hands, and it was very old, and when he looked at the postmark, the date was June 7, 17 years ago. Pull out the letter paper, just like Tanakakan loves to insert, because of the frequent rubbing, the paper has been rough and yellow.

Sun Yuanqi couldn't understand the Japanese written vertically, so he had to hand it over to the interpreter. The interpreter read it, and then translated:

“………… In our work, we must have a broad vision, keen judgment and a thorough understanding of things, and we must not give in or have a trace of slackness. Those who seem to be concentrating on their work, but are in fact absent-minded, and who stop to see, listen, discuss, or even run out to buy things about any small thing, do not let them disturb our work in our work room. There's no reason for whites to be so ahead of every aspect, and as you say, I hope we'll be able to beat those whites in 10 or 20 years: I don't want to be in hell looking through a telescope at the triumph of our descendants. …………”

Sun Yuanqi listened and was a little moved in his heart: Didn't the Chinese scientists of the Republic of China and later use this belief to motivate themselves, work hard to make the country strong, and strive to win glory for the motherland, so as to prove that the Chinese are not inferior people?

After hearing this, Hantaro Nagaoka bowed his head respectfully and said: "When he wrote this letter, he just devoted his life to physics research with the belief that he would win. But he is stupid and has not made any achievements so far. But seeing Mr. Sun's outstanding contribution has made me believe that East Asians not only outperform those white people in moral conduct, but also defeat them in this regard if we are actively engaged in scientific research! Your efforts and achievements have set a good example for us and strengthened our confidence. Here, on behalf of the scientists, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you! Bendang $###$#$# (a string of Japanese)".

"Hondang #¥#¥#¥## (a string of Japanese).". Yasuya Uchida and Ainan Tanakakan said that they bowed their heads and thanked them together.

Sun Yuanqi hurriedly got up and prepared to go over to help them up.

Hantaro Nagaoka said again: "The open people know that we are still very backward in the current situation, and the students we have cultivated are not worthy of discussing knowledge with you: the open people also know that the famous teachers of your school's national literature, philosophy, history, etc., are indeed worth learning from our students. However, the open people are still ... I hope that Mr. Sun will allow more students to follow you to learn advanced scientific knowledge! ”。

Sun Yuanqi stopped: It seems that this is the real purpose of their visit this time! (To be continued.)
