Back to the normal timeline, shortly after The Nation magazine sent out.

On this day, Brother Xun quietly touched a halal restaurant called "A Bowl of Clear Soup and Large Pieces of Beef Noodles" outside the alley, ready to deal with it.

In fact, there is a big pot of rice in the Shaoxing Hall where the residence "Mending Tree Book House" is located, but the big pot of rice, you know everything, and the emphasis is on the large amount and the tube is cheap, as for the taste, it depends on the opinions, and in general, the quality of the meals is not satisfactory.

As a food lover, Brother Xun, although the cooking skills can be, but at that time he was alone in the family, one person fed the whole family was not hungry, and he really didn't want to toss his own fire to cook, if he was hungry, he went to the vegetable market at the door to buy a roast chicken, and ate it on the clear water, which was also a unique taste.

If you catch up with the Ministry of Education to pay the salary, it must be a small celebration, and the project is very simple, that is, to go to the street corner to serve such a bowl of beef noodles.

"Master, a big bowl of beef, add noodles and meat." When he came to the stall, Brother Xun pulled out a bench casually, sat down directly, and started a homely conversation with the shopkeeper: "Look at today, your business is good, and you are sitting down before noon."

"Yo, you're a rare guest, I haven't seen you in a while." The shopkeeper, who was still holding the abacus in his hand, heard a familiar voice, immediately raised his head, and said with a smile: "Hey, it's just some old customers taking care of business, it's nothing."

However, although the mouth is polite, but it actually falls on the dishes, the owner does not regard Brother Xun as an outsider at all, and the meat used is not the common translucent meat slices in later generations, but a large piece of fat and thin beef, as soon as the noodles come out of the pot, the original soup of the stewed beef is poured on the noodles, which is fresh and delicious, sprinkled with cooked sesame seeds, cooked peanuts and other small ingredients, and finally some coriander to decorate, and then drink a mouthful of thick soup after eating noodles, not to mention how delicious.

But just when Brother Xun was feasting and snorting with noodles, two people took the initiative to sit over and didn't say a word.

Brother Xun thought that the meal had arrived, and there were no other seats, so the two of them came to share the table, so he took the initiative to clear the table in front of him, and politely signaled that the two could sit directly, he didn't mind.

Unexpectedly, these two people were also "weirdos", and they didn't say anything for a long time after sitting down, just looked at Brother Xun like this, and saw that in the end, Brother Xun couldn't stand it anymore, so he took his eyes off the rice bowl, only to find that these two people were none other than Cai Yuanpei and Cheng Nuo, who were watching him eat with a smile on their faces.

"Yucai, it seems that this side is very suitable for your appetite, Zhiyuan and I have to sit here with a cup of tea, before we noticed us, this is the first time we have seen this state." Cai Yuanpei smiled, he was still very concerned about this fellow countryman.

"Brother Yucai, come on, come on, this is the garlic and noodle soup I just asked you for, eat noodles without garlic, the fragrance is less than half, as for this noodle soup, the original soup turns into the original food, and it is greasy to drink." Cheng Nuo took advantage of the two of them to talk, and carefully brought garlic and noodle soup, but he hated that he didn't have a camera in his hand, otherwise he would have to take a picture of the scene just now, so that a noodle dish that southerners like must have two brushes.

In fact, the two of them came over this time, not simply to watch Brother Xun'er eat and broadcast, but to find him out of the mountain to see how his recent articles are doing, but don't continue to be decadent in the study as usual, dealing with Jinshi ancient posts all day long, that would be too bad. ….

But fortunately, although the two did not see Brother Xun in the Shaoxing Hall, they still learned from his younger brother that this restaurant where Brother Xun often haunts, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw him eating.

At first, at the door, Cheng and Cai had to make a bet to see if Brother Xun could find them in a few seconds at most, one said ten seconds, and the other said twenty seconds, but in the end, both of them made mistakes, and this bowl of noodles was about to bottom, only to find out about their arrival.

The two had no choice but to spread their hands over this, both smiling bitterly, and everything was silent.

After Brother Xun saw the garlic, his pupils dilated rapidly, he picked up a clove and swallowed it, took three bites and two bites, ate all the remaining noodles, and finally came to a bowl of noodle soup, burped, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Zhiyuan, when I see you, you are just like me, you are a noodle eater, unlike my pedantic brother, who deals with stinky tofu all day long, how strange, I think it is better to do this, let's call you two bowls of noodles."

Both of them smiled and waved their hands, they had just come out of the Peking University cafeteria, and there was no room in their stomachs for anything else.

However, now that it was time for the meal, there were more and more diners coming in from outside the door, and the three of them occupied a table, although the owner didn't say anything, but it was really not a good thing to delay people's business, so after a few simple words, several people left the restaurant and returned to the "Mending Tree Book House" again.

Taking advantage of the moment of boiling water, Brother Xun said politely: "It's just us brothers at home, and we usually come how simple and how to come, so at first glance, it may be a little messy, don't mind."

Cai Yuanpei looked around, and said seriously: "You still have to have the other half of the family to take care of it, and you have stomach problems, so it's not a long-term solution to go on like this, I think you can take your younger siblings over, someone can cook a hot meal, and remind you to add clothes when it's cold."

Cheng Nuo said: "As soon as the young people come over, it is not appropriate to leave the elderly at home alone, after all, the age is not too young, and there is a whip with a headache and brain fever that is beyond the reach, so just take it over, so that the career and family are not wrong."

Brother Xun hesitated, a hint of embarrassment flashed on his face, not that he didn't want to take his family over, but that he couldn't reach his goal in terms of economic conditions.

The salary of the Ministry of Education looks very good on the surface, but in fact, it is often not issued or late, even if it can be obtained, it is only a little bit of the ocean, and most of the rest will be converted into banknotes.

To put it mildly, people who block the road and rob know that as long as the ocean is present, it can be seen how low the private credit of the Beiyang government is.

Cai Yuanpei, as the eldest brother and the old boss, of course knew Brother Xun's thoughts, and said with a smile: "If the funds are tight, then it is good to say, the position of professor of liberal arts at Peking University is reserved for you, and the treatment is preferential, and I will not deduct your allowance one day when I Cai is here."

Cheng Nuo cooperated on the side: "It's too tiring to let my sister-in-law serve the whole family all the time, after all, you two brothers haven't separated yet, I think you can find a few more aunts to help, save worry and effort." However, in this way, the salary of a professor at Peking University alone may not be enough to support such a large family, and it just so happened that I ran a "Youth" magazine, with the purpose of "If the youth is strong, the country is strong, for the purpose, if Brother Yu Cai does not dislike it, he can open a column there with us, and the manuscript fee is absolutely first-class in the industry." ….

Yes, Cai Yuanpei and Cheng Nuo have both discussed it a long time ago, and they want to come over to meet Brother Xun, one likes his literary accomplishments, and the other likes his writing skills.

You must know that these two usually go to great lengths to dig people for the sake of Peking University or the Academy of Sciences, but now when they talk about these words, their faces are not red and their hearts are not beating, as if they are really thinking about Brother Xun wholeheartedly, and they really have no second intentions.

But to be honest, Jiang is still old and spicy after all, and in the process of persuasion later, it was found that Cai Yuanpei was too good at speaking, Cheng Nuo almost couldn't hold back after hearing this, and hurriedly drank saliva to suppress the shock, but forgot that the water in the teacup had just been boiled for a long time, and the temperature was still very high, and only that small sip made him almost unbearable.

Seeing this, Brother Xun said with concern, "Zhiyuan, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"

Cheng Nuo looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was a little painful, in order not to show his stuffing, he took a breath of cold air from between his teeth and said slowly: "Now it is the false name of the air pirate republic, and there is no reality of the republic, the false name of detachment from autocracy is actually more than autocracy, even if Yucai is located in the head of education of a country, it is difficult not to be affected by such a bad spirit, you might as well get out as soon as possible, so as not to get muddy and water in the back, it will be trouble."

Brother Xun pondered for a moment, closed his eyes and sighed: "The current Ministry of Education is no longer the Ministry of Education where Cai Gong is located, even now that China has become a world of power, what is the axiom at all? The upward and downward effects are mutually infectious. Everyone is a deceitful, every man is deceived, and even a party is deceived, and then in a blink of an eye he deceives others."

After listening to it, Cheng Nuo silently recited the most famous passage in "Diary of a Madman" in his heart - I opened the history and checked, this history has no age, and the words "benevolence, righteousness and morality" are written on each page crookedly. I couldn't fall asleep, and after reading it carefully for half the night, I could see the words in the cracks, and there were two words written all over the book as "cannibalism".

In this way, more

I have to tie Brother Xun to the chariot of "Youth" magazine, so that the children of this era can understand the "charm" of Brother Xun's words in advance.

At the same time, he can also take advantage of this opportunity to force Brother Xun, for a great writer of his level, there is no long story in his life, whether it is for the author himself, or for readers, and even for the development of modern literature as a whole, it is a big pity.

As for the content, it is still written according to the outline of his original history "Yang Guifei", Cheng Nuo is still very curious about how this big man wrote about Yang Guifei and Tang Minghuang, if it can really be completed, he will definitely come to the manuscript as a collection as soon as possible.

In this way, the "ignorant and ignorant" Brother Xun was half-pulled and half-framed by two experienced and enthusiastic "friends" into the car, and even personally handed over two polished shiny "Hu forks" - "New Youth" and "Youth", facing the large number of "Ru" in front of him, signaling that he could fire infinitely, and he could come as he wanted.

was so enthusiastic that he almost scared Brother Xun away, but in the end, Cai Yuanpei came out, dragged him back, and said that he was allowed to try part-time, and then agreed to the request of the two.

If so, this matter is over for the time being. ….

After going back, Cheng Nuo began to carefully calculate the industry of the Academy of Sciences, and now he can get his hands on it, and there are very few that can be actually seen and put into practice, and the next step according to the plan is to prepare the ironworks in the United Nations, improve the process, and produce steel that can be used for civilian use, so as to facilitate the launch of the national bicycle brand, and then enter the light and heavy industry channels, step by step to promote the development of regional industrial industries, and improve the competitiveness of our products.

However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and as soon as I learned the news, Japan was preparing to open a branch factory of the East Asia Match Co., Ltd. in Tianjin, with a very clear purpose of further compressing the living space of domestic products, so that all aspects of their lives would be affected by them, and the power of life and death would be in the hands of others.

In addition to not wanting to give up the market to the little devils, of course, there are some other reasons, such as the threshold for the production process of matches is not high for Cheng Nuo, and he can start making it himself without waiting for the talents of the Academy of Sciences to come back.

Of course, you can also take advantage of the opening of a factory to subsidize the Academy of Sciences, and always rely on him, the dean, to make the account, which is too variable and not conducive to long-term development.

However, this kind of thing naturally cannot be done brutally, especially when it comes to products that are directly oriented to the market, and you have to be extremely careful, this thing is not like a paper, you can just leave it alone, you have to consider a series of complex issues such as market reaction.

With the subsequent investigation, Cheng Nuo slowly discovered that although matches are small, they are related to people's livelihood, and other industries are almost facing the same problem.

Although the national match industry started last month and has years of accumulation, it seems to be good, but in fact, it was born like his older brothers and sisters, and was hit by the world's powers.

These capitalist countries regard us as a huge market, on the one hand, they can make huge profits by dumping large quantities of commercial matches in China, and on the other hand, they can carry out economic plunder in the form of factories in China.

The most obvious is that in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, although some match factories obtained patent rights from the government for the production and operation of matches, they could only monopolize the market of their domestic counterparts, but did not have any effect on foreign powers, and could not restrict foreign businessmen from setting up factories and distributing matches in China.

For example, although the Tianjin Fire Bureau, which was run by Wu Maoding, a comprador businessman in Tianjin, was supported by the Manchu minister Li Hongzhang and approved the patent rights in Hebei, the German minister even raised an objection to the Qing government, saying that "the Tianjin Fire Bureau requests that the patent rights and interests be exclusive to him, which is inconsistent with the treaty." According to the rule that the lower law must serve the higher law, the provisions of the Manchu patent law were ignored.

For example, the patent rights for the production and marketing of matches obtained by the local government of match factories in Sichuan, Chongqing, Senchangtai, and Juchang did not prevent British merchants from transporting and selling matches from Shanghai to Chongqing.

Faced with this situation, a reporter had no choice but to say: "The so-called patent right is just a piece of paper for 'foreign adults, and it is too panicked to wipe your buttocks."

It can be seen that the so-called patent rights are only for some powerless small factories within the national match industry

It's just a few constraints, and people aren't afraid of you.
