Chapter Forty-Eight: Separation and Reunion

"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, the public family is going to be separated~"

"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, the public family is going to be separated~"

The newsboy held two morning newspapers in his hands, and shouted vigorously in the market, his face fluttering, as if there was some earth-shattering event recorded on them.

A middle-aged man in a robe was attracted by the shouting and asked, "That child, isn't the public family good, why did they split up, what is written on it?" ”

The newsboy's eyes rolled slightly, and he said crisply: "Sir, I don't know much literacy, so I know a title, why don't you buy a copy and read it yourself?" ”

"Gotcha! Not very old goblin. The middle-aged man had a good temper and touched the newsboy's head: "How much is it, I bought it." ”

"Three copper plates, thank you!"

Cheng Nuo, who was eating breakfast at a stall next to him, was also a very curious person, so he also came forward to buy a newspaper and came back, and sat down to read it while eating.

After reading it, I realized that the newsboy was indeed not deceiving, and the title name was "The Public Family Wants to Divide the Family".

The general content is that in the later part of World War I, the Beiyang government joined the Entente and broke off diplomatic relations with Germany, and there were internal disagreements, and the dispute between the government and the court suddenly intensified.

The diners who followed the newspaper next to him were also whispering when they saw it.

"I heard that the United States and Japan were urging us to sever diplomatic relations with Germany at the beginning of last month, and it's been three months, so why haven't we had a letter yet."

"But isn't it, everyone has hit the door, and they still want to have a relationship with others, isn't it nonsense?"

"Oh, the annoying people are still to come, I heard that this is not the end of the German reparations, a bunch of soft bones."

"If you want to talk about me......"

At this time, the stall owner put a stack of dried radishes on the table, pointed to the notice on the pillar, and said politely: "Brothers, it's not easy for me to buy and sell this small book, you see that it doesn't say 'don't talk about state affairs', don't talk about state affairs." ”

The diners looked at each other and were silent.

At present, the two thighs in the courtyard of the mansion are so thick, who is moving, and the gendarmes patrolling the streets from time to time are not joking.

Seeing this, Cheng Nuo quickly finished eating and returned to Peking University.

As soon as he stepped into the math door office with the newspaper in his hand, he saw Qin Fen beckoning: "Oh, Zhiyuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, you came just now, Cai Gong has been looking for you several times, and you will come in without the front foot and the back foot." ”

"Looking for me?" Cheng Nuo came to the office, wiped the table, and put things down: "Did Gong Cai say something?" ”

"Then who knows, but it seems to be in a hurry, you should hurry up and take a look."

"Thanks, I'll go over and have a look." Cheng Nuo nodded and walked quickly to the principal's office.

After arriving, I learned that Cai Yuanpei was looking for him for the reform of the school system.

Handing over a cup of hot tea, Cai Yuanpei said: "Zhiyuan, I have worked hard in the countryside these days, and I should have gained a lot, so I might as well talk about it." ”

"Thank you, Gong Cai." Cheng Nuo took a sip: "There are some harvests, but combined with the current agricultural education of Peking University, there are more feelings." ”

"You go on."

"The most obvious thing is that our teachers have superficial knowledge, only pay attention to classroom teaching and book knowledge, and rarely contact our agricultural problems and practical difficulties in production, the most typical is that our teaching handouts are still excerpted from Japan, and the plant specimens are also replaced by their plants and animals, and when it comes to the farm internship stage, it is just simple work such as sowing, weeding, fertilizing, etc., and we have little understanding of this land."

"I feel the same way as you, which is why I am determined to ban agriculture in the first place." Cai Yuanpei's face was full of heaviness and agreed: "The teacher lacks field experience, so he has to attack the old theory of the East and the West, and there is very little research on agriculture in China, which is enough for the selection of teaching materials, so he has to translate foreign textbooks; Scholars have no real purpose. Only seek the ladder of progress, so the internship is perfunctory, and it is more difficult to find a career. ”

As soon as the words changed, Cai Yuanpei turned around after pacing a few steps, and said with a smile: "The cause is found, I don't know if your doctor has a good way to treat it?" ”

Cheng Nuo thought for a moment, then told the results of the discussion with Guo Shouchun that day, actively learned from Western colleges and universities, and proposed a comprehensive school-running system that combines education, scientific research, and extension, especially the importance of extension, and assumed the social service function of agricultural education.

Talking here, remembering there, and when Cheng Nuo finished speaking, Cai Yuanpei also finished remembering here, and then wrote "Peking University Agricultural Reform Plan" on the cover.

Cheng Nuo was a little surprised, running agronomy was originally a time-consuming and expensive thing, and now Peking University is very happy that it does not ban the discipline, but now it seems that he has really implemented everything he said.

"Cai Gong, isn't the agricultural reform of Peking University all according to what I said?"

"How is this possible, the reform of a discipline is a big deal, and the specific plan will have to wait for me to revise it and then take it to the professors' council for review before I can make a decision." Cai Yuanpei waved his hand and said with a smile: "However, I think your reform plan is very scientific, and it is generally according to what you said." ”

Cheng Nuo is not worried about what will go wrong when it is promoted, but it will cost a lot of money to implement it, and he said curiously: "Cai Gong, agriculture is a discipline that is both time-consuming and money-consuming, especially after the reform, it is bound to spend more funds, and it will be very stressful for Peking University to bear it." ”

Cai Yuanpei sorted out the manuscript at hand and laughed: "This is the reason why I want to find you three times and twice, you just came back, otherwise if you miss this time window, you will not be able to do agricultural reform no matter what." ”

"You mean ......"

Cai Yuanpei pointed to it, and Cheng Nuo quickly understood.

Duan Qirui asked the president to sever diplomatic relations with Germany, but he refused on the grounds that the stakes were high, and he needed to be cautious and must be approved by the Congress. Duan Yu resigned from the post of prime minister and left Beijing for Beijing that night, and the contradictions between the two sides intensified, and now they are courting all parties everywhere, and our Peiping University is its important target. Cai Yuanpei sat down and continued to explain: "If you make a request at this time, even if you can't agree to it completely, you can set aside another amount of funds. ”

Cheng Nuo sighed: "Under the pressure of the United States and Japan, the severance of diplomatic relations has become inevitable. However, in the face of national crisis, the public is still fighting against the same party, which is shameful. It is also a helpless move to seek funds by such means. But if Cai Gong has considered it, they will make it difficult for you after this matter. ”

"Education is a hundred-year plan, and personal gains and losses are nothing." Cai Yuanpei didn't take it to heart at all, and said with a smile: "It's Zhiyuan, you, you have secretly done a big thing, why don't you notify me of the establishment of the Academy of Sciences and give you a cheer." “

Cheng Nuo scratched his head and was a little embarrassed, there were more than a dozen people invited on the list, but because of financial problems, only a few people were allowed to attend, and the rest waited to come over after selling the patent to raise money, only the framework and no content.

"Cai Gong, you're just joking, it's just that a few partners who are still hot and bloody are getting together to do some practical things, and you will definitely be called when it is officially established."

Cai Yuanpei smiled, and a light flashed on his glasses: "Actually, you don't have to wait for one day, time waits for no one, it's better to invite them to come to Peking University for a part-time job first." ”

"This ......" Cheng Nuo was interrupted just as he wanted to speak.

"Agronomy reform, you have also said so many problems, relying on the previous teachers will definitely not work, the Academy of Sciences has to support it."

Cheng Nuo thought about it carefully, it is not a bad thing to be able to cooperate with Peking University, and in the future, he will find that there are excellent undergraduate seedlings, and he can wait for them to dig them up after graduation, go to the Academy of Sciences for graduate studies, and know the roots.

So, two foxes, one old and one young, reached a cooperation.

Unexpectedly, when they were separated, Cai Yuanpei squinted his eyes and suddenly said: "Zhiyuan, the concept of 'agricultural extension' just mentioned is very novel, and it is the first time I have heard that it is very important for agricultural education. ”
