Chapter 104: "Conservatism" and "Reform"

He Yun wanted to get to the bottom of it, but after thinking about it, he gave up again.

Because he could see that Principal Zhao seemed to want to maintain this sense of mystery.

Especially the smile on his face, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, all showed his attitude, as if to say, you He Yun just asked ten times, a hundred times, and I would never say it if it was not time.

Well, although He Yun doesn't know why Principal Zhao keeps this mystery, since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask anymore.

After all, it is in vain to ask.

"Headmaster, if it's okay, then I'll go first." He Yun glanced at the red-headed document on the table again, and then said.

"Hmm...... You can...... Wait, I almost forgot, you're going to go to Yincheng City to return the book in the afternoon, right? ”

"yes, Headmaster, what's wrong? Tomorrow isn't it Sunday, so I thought, if I can miss a day of class, I should be able to come back the day after tomorrow. He Yun nodded and replied.

"Okay, then you're going to have to come back the day after tomorrow anyway, Tuesday, you have to be at school, you understand?"

"Uh...... Okay, Headmaster, I got it, I'll be back in time! Although He Yun had some doubts in his heart, he still nodded at Principal Zhao.

After He Yun left, Principal Zhao couldn't help but mutter: "Boy, it's not that the old man doesn't want to make it clear to you, but after I tell you about this matter, I'm afraid that you won't agree, or wait for the matter to be done, after the raw rice is cooked and cooked, you have to agree even if you don't agree, I'm all thinking about your kid's future!" ”

With a sigh, Principal Zhao immediately picked up the red-headed document and stuffed it into a drawer.

…………

On the other side, after He Yun left Principal Zhao's office, he went back to his dormitory.

He had to go back and get ready, go to the town in the afternoon to send the reply letter to Gao Yunyan, and then go to the dock to take a boat to the city of Yincheng.

This time he went to Yincheng City, naturally he didn't go to find Gao Yunyan, otherwise he wouldn't have done anything else and sent a reply letter to Gao Yunyan.

The main reason why he went to Yincheng City this time was to return the books borrowed from the library, and to borrow a batch of new books on the way.

In addition, this time, he also brought the book rental fee for the next three months, and was ready to bring it over to Xinhua Bookstore.

Because he still had classes to attend the day after tomorrow, and Principal Zhao insisted that he must rush back that day for some reason, he could only set off on time in the afternoon, and he had to rush back the day after tomorrow.

In the afternoon, after lunch, he went to the post office to send the letter, and then went to the dock to take a boat.

Early the next morning, he came to Xinhua Bookstore, and after chatting with Lin Lao for a while, he spent more than ten minutes to complete the procedures for returning the books, and then handed over the rental fee to the counter staff, after which, he began to look for suitable new books in front of many bookshelves.

Half an hour later, he had selected a total of thirteen books, three of which he wanted to buy and the other ten that he intended to rent.

The three books are all famous books, one is "The Storm" by Mr. Zhou Libo, one is "Camel Xiangzi" written by Mr. Lao She, and the other is the Chinese version of the Soviet classic "How Steel is Made".

As for the other ten, a few are algebraic geometry, and a few are related to the basics of chemistry and physics, all of which are relatively old, most of them were published in the 60s.

He Yun flipped through it and found that it was all published by the Modu People's Publishing House, and it looked like the cover was very new, and after asking Lin Lao, he knew that it was transferred from the Xinhua Bookstore in the province.

It must have been hidden in a warehouse before, and it was not discovered until recently.

Maybe that's why it was sent to Yincheng City, after all, it's been a long time since it was published, and it should be treated as an "old book".

However, He Yun didn't mind, because this kind of book was still too few for the current students, so he naturally had to take it back and show it to the students.

"Old Lin, I'm leaving, I'll come to see you next time!" After He Yun completed the formalities, he said goodbye to Lin Lao with the cardboard box and left.

…………

But he didn't know that at this time, in one of the editorial offices of the Modu People's Publishing House, an internal controversy also unfolded.

As one of the most influential publishing houses in the Modu region, Modu People's Publishing House is naturally second to none.

Similarly, the Modu People's Publishing House is also a publishing house with extremely strict review of manuscripts sent from all over the country.

It is precisely because of the strictness that disputes between editors also occur from time to time.

Among these editors, they can be roughly divided into two schools: "old-fashioned" and "reformist".

Moreover, this state of separation does not only exist in one of the editorial offices of the Modu People's Publishing House, but also widely exists in almost all subordinate editorial offices.

For example, the editorial department of "Shulin" magazine is the most typical representative of the editorial department under the publishing house of Modu People's Publishing House.

As a journal founded in 1979, "Shulin" magazine is a joint venture with the "Reading" magazine under Joint Books, known as "Reading Books in the North and Reading in the South".

Throughout the eighties, both magazines were among the best.

But it is such a high-level journal, but the editors and relevant leaders of the editorial department of the magazine behind it are clearly divided into two factions.

This is known as the "old-fashioned" and "reformist".

The old-fashioned school believes that the articles published must absolutely be written by old writers and must not be stained in the slightest, while the reformists believe that they should keep pace with the times and conform to the trend of the times on the premise of ensuring the quality of the articles.

It can be seen from this that the current situation of the entire Modu People's Publishing House is very complicated.

Although the voice of reform has been present within the publishing house at this time, the process of reform has been extremely slow.

The reason for this is not only because the Modu People's Publishing House is too large, but also because the Modu People's Publishing House has the word "people", and many leaders still have some concerns and dare not make major changes, so as not to have unexpected changes.

In fact, this part of the leadership is also correct to a certain extent, after all, in the current era, all reforms are advancing in exploration, and there is no reform model that can be used as a reference to learn from.

However, it turns out that reform is correct, and only reform can give new life to the old.

Just like a certain great man said, our country, if we don't reform, we will have to fall behind and be beaten, and only after reform can we know how big the gap is.

Besides, at this moment, in the history publishing and editing room of the Modu People's Publishing House at this time.

A bespectacled man in his fifties, holding a manuscript and lashing out at the people present.

After a while, he vented all the anger in his heart, but the others present remained silent, he saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and directly waved his hand and said, "Okay! Since everyone disagrees, let's dismiss! ”

As the words fell, the rest of the room left.

At this moment, the old man was holding the manuscript and couldn't help sighing again, he muttered with some pity: "It's really a pity that such an excellent historical novel can't be published!" ”
