In terms of time, I finally came to the opening of the Peking Spring Games.

However, Liang Rengong came this time, not only for academics, but also about the current situation.

In order to have enough strength to do things, he, Tang Hualong, and Cai Yuanpei specially established the National Diplomatic Support Association, the purpose of which is to promote the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany.

Cheng Nuo only persuaded with kind words: "Mr. Ren Gong, on the surface, the court is about discussion and voting, and the minority obeys the majority, but in fact it is just a traditional exchange of favors and loyalty.

Cai Yuanpei also sighed: "The Secretariat Office and the Military Department in the Presidential Palace are all Lai's fellow villagers or old ministries, and the people of the time jokingly called the Presidential Palace the "Hubei Provincial Hall".

Diplomacy is an extension of politics, and it is quite appropriate to use it at this time.

When the question of participating in the war arose, Lai's subordinates bluntly said: "If Duan participates in the war, it will be a great success, and he must first reverse Duan." If the successor still participates in the war, he will succeed in himself."

Duan's side also held the same view: "If the government cannot cooperate, not only will the issue of participating in the war be resolved, but all future issues will also be resolved."

Liang Rengong was mixed in at this time, and he was just being used by Duan to use his reputation, and when he regretted it at the end of this year.

However, it is difficult to persuade stubborn people with good words, and Cheng Nuo stopped the topic when he saw that he couldn't move.

But chatting and chatting, he turned the conversation to Kang Youwei, talking about the former teacher, Liang Rengong didn't care about the feelings of master and apprentice, and gave a large number of special approvals.

Both of them were opposed to Yuan Datou becoming emperor at the beginning, but their starting points were very different.

Kang Youwei's purpose was to support the abolition of Emperor Puyi as emperor and realize his idea of a hypocritical republic. And Liang Rengong is simply to maintain the republican system.

Originally, it was estimated that there was a trace of face, Liang Rengong was full of respect, how could Kang You publish the article "Preparing for the Country's Stability Policy", openly advocating the restoration of the Qing Emperor, and the two masters and apprentices completely tore their faces.

Liang Rengong clenched his fists: "At present, the Chinese people oppose the imperial system, not because of who is fighting for the imperial system, but because no one can be called the emperor, and their restorationists are just a group of brazen opportunists, who are enemies with the public and help thieves open their eyes."

Cai Yuanpei thought so: "Those who dream of restoration nowadays are really stupid to say that the national system does not need to be based on the people's feelings, and it is just the old theory that the party Yuan is attached to the rebellion."

However, after expressing their disdain, the two still have a trace of worry in their hearts, that is, although the restoration is against the trend of the times, the rumored pigtail army is not fake, and maybe it will be ruined again.

Cheng Nuo smiled at this and drank the tea in his hand peacefully.

It was still Cai Yuanpei's sharp eyes, and he said curiously: "Zhiyuan, do you have any high opinions, why don't you come and listen to it?"

Cheng Nuo drank all the tea and said with a smile: "The two gentlemen are the authorities and the bystanders are Qing, how is Zhang Xun's power compared to Duan Li?"

After thinking for a while, Liang Rengong said categorically: "It's better to be self-reliant."

Cheng Nuo asked again, "Is it in the interests of Duan Li and the others to restore it?"

Liang Rengong shook his head: "It's also inconsistent."

"Then the problem is very clear, Zhang Xun is just a chess piece between the two." Cheng Nuo spread his hands and explained: "Now that Duan has been driven to Tianjin, if there is really an attack by the Braided Army, Duan is better to take the opportunity to rebel, first, to raise his own prestige, and second, to carry prestige to force Li, it can be said that he kills two birds with one stone, and Mr. can be relieved."

The reason why Cheng Nuo threw these things out was also to let Liang Rengong understand the complexity of politics, he was really not suitable for this muddy water, and it was better to give up politics and study as soon as possible.

Not to mention anything else, just his nine children can become talents, and one of the three academicians proves that Liang Rengong is quite insightful in education, and it is a waste not to make good use of it.

However, looking at Liang Rengong's somewhat hesitant eyes, maybe he didn't listen to much of this, and he was willing to believe that the restoration was just a rumor.

I wanted to continue to add something to prove his point of view, but after seeing Cai Yuanpei quietly shaking his head next to him, Cheng

Nuo withdrew the rest of the words.

However, this political topic obviously could not continue, and after chatting, Cheng Nuo found that the China Vocational Education Society had also invited Liang Rengong.

Speaking of this, Liang Rengong's face was a little pale: "The purpose of education is to broaden the wisdom of the people, cultivate people with characteristics, and cultivate talented people who can stand on their own feet in society, but our vocational education is too backward, and the annual agricultural output of the United States is 31 trillion taels of silver, while we only have 300 trillion taels, which is a pity."

Although I don't know where the other party's data came from, I still agree with it, after all, the development of industry is inseparable from the support of industrial workers.

Especially in an era of high illiteracy, every industrial worker is extremely valuable, and the best way to train in batches is vocational education.

While expressing his support, Cai Yuanpei also put forward his views: "The goal of secondary education is to cultivate vocational ability, so we can consider separating it after graduating from primary school, using secondary schools to implement general education on the one hand, and establishing secondary agricultural and commercial schools to implement vocational education on the other."

Good guy, the secondary school stream in later generations has caused widespread heated discussions, Cai Yuanpei directly wants to divide the primary school, although there are restrictions of the times, but in Cheng Nuo's opinion, it is too radical and utilitarian.

After all, the association has not yet been organized, and the three of them are not principals, even if the debate is won, it is not of much significance, it is better to wait until the Shanghai market in front of many celebrities, and then relent.

However, after all, the business of coming here is the Peking Spring Games, and the superficial work still has to be done, and everyone separated after watching a few important games.

When he got home, Liang Rengong found that his eldest son was smiling and didn't know what to draw on the paper, so he quietly walked over to see that it was the popular gymnastics at Peking University.

However, Liang Rengong obviously didn't know what this was, thinking that his son was peeking at some "martial arts book", and his face was a little angry.

"Sicheng, have you completed your homework, I remember that the schoolwork in Tsinghua School is still relatively heavy, so don't spend time on such useless books."

Liang Sicheng was taken aback and wanted to pull the notes back, but in a blink of an eye he realized that it had been discovered, and it was just useless to do so, and it might even add fuel to the fire, and he muttered: "Back to my father, this is not those things in the Three Heroes and Five Righteousness, it is a new style of gymnastics invented by Professor Cheng, I heard that the practice is not much better than Taijiquan."

Liang Rengong's face softened slightly, he believed that Cheng Nuo's personality would not make some useless things, so he took the notes and watched them silently.

But the more I looked at it, the more I felt that there was a hidden mystery and infinite mystery, so I asked Liang Sicheng to practice on the side and learn by myself.

After doing a few cycles, I also felt refreshed, and I couldn't help but sigh: "In my opinion, compared with Baduanjin, it is not inferior."

It's just that as soon as the words fell, I suddenly thought of Cheng Nuo's advice, and I believed that words a little more in my heart.

"Could it be that I'm really not suitable for the public court, but I am a teacher, a teacher, you must not make it difficult for me to be a student, otherwise we will really turn against each other on the road of "politics".

......

The picture turned to Peking University.

After Cheng Nuo dealt with the tail end of the Spring Games, he also decided to leave for the south.

First, Tesla will come over for a while, and they will carry a lot of equipment at that time, and at this time, the development level of the south is a little better, and Cheng Nuo can go and buy some things in advance.

Second, the future development of the chemical industry, need the support of the industrial faction and various associations, this time you can go to investigate, find out, whether it is a friend or foe, there are always points in the heart.

Thirdly, to participate in this China Vocational Education Society, the founder Huang Yanpei, in order to promote the idea of education, mobilized more than 40 celebrities in the education, business, and political circles in the north and south, and the momentum was huge.

For example, Zhang Jian, Liang Rengong, Cai Yuanpei, Jiang Menglin, Fan Yuanlian, Chen Jiageng, etc., those who have money and powerful contributions, and those who are not top people from all walks of life will not get this invitation.

However, it is not easy to go far this year, especially from Peking to Shanghai

The distance across half the motherland is even more inconvenient.

There is only one train every week, and when you arrive at Jinling Pukou in the middle, you also need to change the ferry to cross the river, and then transfer to another train after crossing the river, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the whole journey takes at least 50 hours.

But even so, Cheng Nuo still chose the land route instead of the sea route, just thinking that he could observe the people on both sides in the middle.

Most areas are okay, but some places do have a bad year.

Handing a cigarette to the middle-aged man sitting on the opposite side, Cheng Nuo asked, "Sir, we have arrived at the border of Hubei Province, why have all the houses collapsed?"

"Good smoke." The middle-aged man took the cigarette with a smile, smoked it on his nose and reluctantly smoked it, clipped it to his ear, and sighed: "Hey, it was fine a year ago, but in early February after the year, the dragon turned over, and the house collapsed a lot, so it's good that people can live."

Cheng Nuo asked again, "The province next to it has also suffered a lot, right?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "The situation in Anhui Province is not bad, it is rumored that volcanoes have been discovered in Huoshan County, you can talk about an earth dragon and a fire dragon, it is really bitter for the local people."

"But these two brothers are also unlucky, this year's spring drought crops are destroyed, and it will soon be summer, and when the river rises, Hubei Province will be flooded, and then the downstream Anhui Province will also suffer. Bah, what is that talk of my crow's mouth......

The two of them just asked and answered, and the time also passed, and they also had a preliminary understanding of the provinces along the way.

When he arrived in Shanghai, Cheng Nuo was surprised to find that someone had picked him up, and it was not Li Tianfu and others from the Shanghai Flour Union, but another industrialist.

The famous champion industrialist - Zhang Jian.

"Little friend, I've kept you waiting."
