Perhaps seeing the hesitation in Ye Qisun's eyes, Cheng Nuo did not exert pressure, put the inaugural issue of "Youth" magazine in front of him, and said kindly: "Qisun, don't be busy agreeing or refusing yet, this is our first issue, you might as well open it first."

In order to avoid putting pressure on him and leave him a period of time to be alone, Cheng Nuo deliberately carried the hot water kettle to the kitchen water tank to scoop up the water after speaking, and boiled the water for a while to make tea directly.

It is said that the life in old Beijing is really miserable, because the old city is underground is alkaline water, not to mention the strange smell of drinking, long-term drinking is not good for the body, and there is no tap water pipeline, so the daily water is bought from the water man outside the city. Fortunately, the price is not expensive, and people deliver it to their door in person every morning, and they only need to pay a dime and a half cents a month to fill about 420 liters of sweet water, which is also suitable.

Cheng Nuo stayed outside for a while, played radio gymnastics twice, and estimated that the time was about the same, and then slowly came in with a kettle, and said while changing the coal stove: "How is it, what is Qisun's opinion of our magazine, have you found some places that are not very reasonable?"

Ye Qisun was sitting in a precarious position, taking advantage of the time just now, he even made a rough list on the scratch paper, full of it, Cheng Nuo glanced at it, and was directly a little dazed in his heart, just played radio gymnastics twice, but not twenty times.

"Sir, I think this magazine is very well run, and I have even learned a lot of things in the process of reading it just now, such as the first point, about meteorology, which I have never been exposed to...... The second point about living things made me understand that locusts in the locust plague are poisonous and cannot be eaten...... The third point, on physics, introduces wave-particle duality...... The fourth point is geological ...... The fifth point is chemical ......"

Originally, Cheng Nuo was still squatting there digging coal ash, and he was very happy to listen to it in the front, but the more he listened to it, the more he felt that something was wrong, this was obviously a feeling after reading it on the spot, where did he need this, and quickly stopped: "Qisun, I think you misunderstood, the original intention of this magazine is 'The country is strong when the youth is strong, and the purpose of letting you read this magazine is to give opinions and find shortcomings."

Ye Qisun was puzzled: "There are very few juvenile books on the market, and in my opinion, "Juvenile" magazine is already one of the best, why do you have to pick faults among them, pure popular science is already very rare."

Cheng Nuo put down the tongs in his hand, clapped his hands, pointed to his head and smiled: "Because the editorial room is from the perspective of adults, and you are the person closest to them, in addition to improving scientific quality, psychological quality also needs to be controlled."

The purpose of running a magazine is to lead more children to the door of science, to sow seeds for the future of the motherland, and to cultivate talents for our nation, but in the project of popular science, we must also pay attention to ideological construction, so as not to learn a skill to become a Han girl, then the fun is too great, just like Mei Siping, a student of Peking University who participated in the burning of Cao Rulin's house, later became the vanguard of Wang's puppet defection to the enemy, and ended his life by being shot, which is hateful and sad.

The adolescent period is also the stage of rapid establishment of the three views, adhering to the principle of moisturizing things silently to propagate patriotic thoughts, even if he later left his hometown to go to the life of "the moon is rounder", his personal choice is blameless, but don't deal with the hometown parents and villagers in the national righteousness. ….

At the same time, Cheng Nuo is also a person from middle school, knowing that when it was boring and monotonous, it was an extremely happy thing to read a few extracurricular books between classes, and often someone bought a magazine such as "Seeing the World", "Studying" and "People Weekly", and everyone circulated it to each other, and imagined the future life in the depths of the small tofu block article.

Other condiments don't need much, and it's even better to be able to smear this era of black and white with a little less eye-catching red.

Ye Qisun pondered for a while, and gradually reacted: "What Mr. said is for those of us who have come over to see what shortcomings this magazine has, so as to better fulfill the purpose of educating people?"

Cheng Nuo came to his side, leaned on the back of the chair and encouraged, "Yes, think about it further."

Ye Qisun frowned for a moment, then suddenly realized, tilted his neck and smiled: "With the experience of people who have come before, to answer the doubts of the past, is this the case, sir?"

"Yes, that's it!" Cheng Nuo clapped his hands and patted him on the back to show his appreciation: "What I want you to do is to put your body down, face to face with them, and try to lead them forward as a confidant brother or confidant sister, and you are one of their role models."

Cheng Nuo returned to his seat, just sat down and wanted to drink saliva, but found that there were only tea leaves left in the teacup, smiled and continued: "There is a saying, believe in the power of example, for them when they are young, it is an inspiration, and for you now, it is a responsibility, I don't know if Ye wants to join the editorial office of "Youth" and become our fan-editor."

Doujin editing means both an editor and a copywriter at the same time, which is also the experience gained from "New Youth", but the journal of the Academy of Sciences is not profit-oriented, and the dividends are naturally pitiful, so these editors are paid directly, even if they are students, they will not have a share less, and equal pay for equal work.

After hearing this, Ye Qisun immediately stood up excitedly, but before he could say anything, he was a little lacking in confidence: "Sir, in my opinion, this is not a responsibility, but an honor, a recognition of me, but with my personal strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the mission."

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "Excessive modesty is pride, but I have done your homework in advance, and at the age of fifteen, I published an academic paper "Examination of Business Skills", although it is only one of the calculations of measuring volume in the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", but it is remarkable to be able to speculate repeatedly, expose its mistakes, and explain the roundness of reason, the precision of the arrangement, and the uniqueness of the heart."

People often have an inexplicable sense of shame about what they have done in the past, and the same is true for the masters of later generations.

After listening to the praise, Ye Qisun not only did not feel happy, but his face turned a little red: "It is an old work from a few years ago, and the original choice of this topic is also to let readers know that China's mathematical writing is excellent.

Cheng Nuo had a smile on his face even more: "I had an introductory work a few years ago, and now that I have studied for a few years, isn't my academic level higher, and my confidant brother must be more competent, if I resign again, does Qisun want to be a confidant uncle, haha."

Ye Qisun was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to do: "Sir, I didn't mean ...... that"....

Cheng Nuo walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and asked him to sit down with peace of mind: "Don't worry, I know that you have a heavy academic load, and it is inevitable that you will have some concerns, in addition to you, I will also pull some students from Peking University, it just so happens that you can also take advantage of this to communicate more, you are all peers, and there must be more common topics, so I will use the juvenile magazine as a stage for you to display your ambitions."

Ye Qisun was relieved: "If this is the case, then I will definitely live up to Mr.'s trust, I don't know which students Mr. will arrange at Peking University?"

Cheng Nuo didn't think twice: "Of course, they are all capable people, but there are more liberal arts students, such as Zhu Peixian, Gu Mingjian, Luo Zhixi, oh yes, there is also a little fat man named Fu Mengzhen, all of whom are potential stocks that I am optimistic about."

Seeing that Mr. had already made arrangements, Ye Qisun nodded: "Although it is the first time I have heard the names of these classmates, what Mr. said is definitely not an idle person, and he will definitely run the "Youth" magazine well."

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "But you can't just run a magazine with enthusiasm, I have some teenagers' extracurricular reading psychology here, you can refer to it later, such as the psychology of interest reading, the psychology of supplementing knowledge, and the psychology of seeking novelty......

There was a heated discussion about the future of the magazine, the kettle was boiling, and neither of them paid attention, the spout whined, and the lid of the pot was topped, and finally Li Laosan heard the movement and rushed over, originally wanted to remind them, but saw that things were being discussed, so they had to give up, sealed the coal stove by themselves, and gently closed the door.

Through a wisp of steam from the spout, the figures of the two slowly formed a lake, and slowly drifted into the distance with the sound.

The next day, Cheng Nuo stood at the door to bid farewell to Ye Qisun, who stayed overnight.

"Qisun, you are more familiar with the situation of Tsinghua School than I do, and I will ask you a lot about the same editors over there."

Ye Qisun nodded seriously: "Sir, don't worry, this matter is on me, but it's ......."

Cheng Nuo was puzzled, "What do you have to say boldly, no

Be afraid."

Ye Qisun took a few steps back and looked at the appearance of the courtyard, then came over and said, "Sir, I know that the Academy of Sciences does great things, although the courtyard is good, but the sky in the courtyard is still too small."

Seeing this, Cheng Nuo smiled and said: "It turns out that this is the case, don't worry, I have long been ready to move, but I haven't found a good place yet, and I am only temporarily arranging here, such as finding a down-and-out palace, I think it's good."

For example, the palace of Prince Yu in Dongdan was originally the residence of the eight iron hat kings Duoduo in the early Qing Dynasty, covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters, but it was sold to the oil king Rockefeller by his descendant Maocun last year, and later rebuilt as a Union Hospital on this basis, leaving only a pair of stone lions in later generations.

And there are more than 70 such palaces in Beijing, if Cheng Nuo buys any one, it does not need to be rebuilt too much, and it can be immediately used by the Academy of Sciences after a little repair, what is a few into the courtyard, how can there be the style of the palace at the end, as for how magnificent his current owner is on the ancestor, how depressed he must be now, which house is broken and has no money to repair it, and the same reason as the price of a castle somewhere in the West in the future, which can afford to live but can't afford to repair, and the price is absolutely affordable.

The last emperor of Puyi seems to have a noble status, and he lives in the Great Forbidden City, but he is also so poor that he can barely survive by opening the Summer Palace and collecting tickets, which keeps pouring cultural relics outward. ….

Ye Qisun thought about it, but instead provided a new idea.

"Sir, why don't you just buy the land opposite our school, the transportation is convenient, it is on the main highway, the scenery is also good, the plot is more than the palace, it is really a waste to be so wasteful."

Cheng Nuo's glasses widened after hearing this, okay, he is too familiar, the well-known "One Tower Lake Map", I don't know how many students' dreams in the previous life, and now in modern times, it is not too much to say that it is at your fingertips.

You must know that Situ Leiden is still teaching at Nanjing Jinling Theological Seminary, and there is no shadow of Yenching University, as long as the price given by Cheng Nuo is high enough, he will definitely be able to get it in front of him.

"Qisun, the relocation is very important, let me think about it first." Resisting to keep his heart from beating out of his chest, Cheng Nuo said, "Your studies are important over there, let Lao Li send you back first."

But in fact, as soon as Li Laosan sent Ye Qisun back with the front foot, Cheng Nuo asked him to change direction and send himself to the vicinity of "Yan Yuan".

Find a high place, all the eyes are desolate and dilapidated, how can there be a trace of the grandeur of a royal garden.

"Lao Li, you didn't take me to the wrong place, is this the Lang Run Garden of Prince Gong of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?"

Li Laosan took off his hat and fanned the wind as a fan: "Yes, that's right, sir, you said before that Yan Yuan I thought it was, it turned out to be this place after a long time, this is too broken, you see that the weeds are about to cover the rockery, no one cares."

Langrun Garden and the Old Summer Palace in the north are separated by a street, and now the two of them are more desolate than the other, Cheng Nuo stood and watched for a long time, and he didn't see a figure walking, but a group of sparrows were chirping in it, spreading joy.

But also, Yan Garden was originally the product of a collection of many gardens, from Kangxi's Changchun Garden, to Heshen's Shuchun Garden, to Prince Alcohol's Yuli Garden, etc., are some famous gardens with stories and origins, and now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen to the Republic of China, there are naturally few people to take care of it.

At this moment, a vendor carried a basket and shouted while playing a small drum:

"Tattered, foreign bottles and rotten newspapers are used to sell ~ for foreign alkali ~ "

Seeing Cheng Nuo's discussion here, he was also curious, and stepped forward to join in the fun.

After hearing the topic of conversation between the two, the peddler even interjected, and said the following:

"Two, this Langrun Garden is already the best preserved garden, the Old Summer Palace opposite Gengshennian was destroyed, and the Weixiu Garden, Minghe Garden, and Shuchun Garden next door were all burned down, and he left them completely, and the grass was also taken care of by few people, and it was definitely this in Sijiu City."

As he spoke, the vendor gave a thumbs up, obviously confident in Lang Runyuan.

Cheng Nuo was curious and asked, "Why should the next-door neighbor suffer, just one of them?"

small

The seller raised his head, and the light in his eyes flashed: "That's because the owner of the courtyard is very powerful, Geng Shennian presided over the meeting and carried out a lot of aftermath, and the foreigners were satisfied, so they naturally kept his garden."

Li Laosan is also an old Beijinger, and he was happy when he heard this: "Who did I say, it turns out that the ancestor of this garden is the devil six, I'm sorry, the thing that betrays the country to seek glory is still embarrassed to say?"

The peddler suddenly became anxious, threw down the tattered basket and was about to come forward to argue: "Why do you say that I am Amuqi (uncle), if it weren't for his Gengshen Nian Qing Dynasty, it would be over."

Li Laosan smiled: "That's even more scolding, the Manchu Qing should die in the morning......

Cheng Nuo came back to his senses and asked, "I don't know your honorable name?"

The hawker snorted coldly: "If you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, you can't change your surname!"

96.
