"Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan, you are really not easy, you have visited most of the world, and finally returned to China and did not forget that you have a director of the China Vocational Education Society, it is really rare, let's say, what kind of wind is blowing today, can blow you over?"

Mr. Huang Yanpei, who is keen on vocational education, was overjoyed and a little sad when he saw Cheng Nuo suddenly come to the door.

The gratifying thing is that Cheng Nuo, as a well-known scholar in China, spans natural science and mechanical manufacturing, and does not forget the agreement to jointly develop vocational education with himself.

The sad place lies in the fact that although the China Vocational Education Society was established at the beginning of its great momentum and brought together leaders from all walks of life, it was limited by the poor industrial base in China, and it was not easy to realize the ideal vocational education policy.

Now is the critical moment when foreign aid is urgently needed, and one more person is one more strength.

Although he is joking on his lips, he is very sincere in his hands.

Huang Yanpei turned around and took out a tea leaf from the depths of the drawer, opened the small iron box, wrapped it in three layers inside and three layers outside, obviously attached great importance to it: "But I can't let you come in vain today, see it, this is this year's new big red robe, don't look at the small amount, it's not easy for me to get these." ”

In my previous life, I had heard the name of the tea on the Chinese Internet, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to taste it now, and Cheng Nuo was naturally very happy: "Then I have a good mouth today, thank you Mr. Huang." ”

Huang Yanpei deliberately put away his smile and said with a straight face: "Still call me sir?" That's too out-of-the-box, isn't it? ”

Cheng Nuo smiled and said: "The president is not much older than me, so let's call Brother Huang, this is okay." ”

Huang Yanpei's face suddenly softened, and he said in a kind tone: "If you really count it, I was taught by the chief teacher of Chinese when I was young, Xi Cai Gong, and now you treat Cai Gong as a teacher and student, and the two of us can be regarded as juniors!" ”

Cheng Nuo instantly understood the meaning of his words, took the teacup and said politely: "Then I'm welcome, thank you Senior Huang for the good tea!" ”

"Haha, that's right!" Huang Yanpei was very happy with this sentence, and said with a smile: "Then today I will replace the wine with tea and wash the dust for Senior Brother Cheng!" ”

It seems to be just an iteration of the title, but it instantly narrowed the relationship between the two.

You tell me about anecdotes in Europe, and I'll tell you about interesting stories in China.

After a few teas, the relationship is further familiarized.

Talking about the current difficulties in establishing vocational education, Huang Yanpei lamented with a face: "The ruling Yanyan princes, the struggle for the right to the position in vain, ignoring the national economy and the people's livelihood, and even Hong Xian is the emperor, the world is disturbed, how can there be any advocacy of industrial development of rich sources, under the general trend, the development of vocational education is difficult." ”

Cheng Nuo was deeply touched by this: "If you ask the reason, bad politics is really fundamental. ”

After that, the two looked at each other, and both shook their heads helplessly.

The tea leaves that were originally mellow in the mouth are now full of bitterness when I drink them: "I know that we are drinking to quench our thirst, but we can't find the way forward." ”

Cheng Nuo stopped talking, and said in his heart that now the Soviet E-Bresheviks had executed the tsar and his family, and successfully completed the nationalization of industry, and from then on began to gallop down the avenue.

I don't know where to go on the road ahead, but I can touch my hairy legs.

However, after careful calculation, the great man had just graduated from the normal school, and the Beiyang government in China had secretly telegraphed to various provinces to ban the names of the students of each school from organizing patriotic associations or federations.

After thinking about it, Cheng Nuo said vaguely: "Tong time falls and the world is shocked by autumn, listen to the sound of the juan and know the luck, there are often countless autumn tung leaves in history, and the sound of the bird awakens the reader's heart." ”

Huang Yanpei was puzzled: "What does this mean? ”

Cheng Nuo smiled: "As far as I know, Mr. Li Dajun of Peking University has just published an article in the third volume of the "Yanzhi Quarterly", which is called "A Comparative View of the Franco-Russian Revolution". ”

Huang Yanpei thought thoughtfully: "It's okay, the junior brother's recommendation must have something unique in it, and I will find it and read it when I go back." ”

Cheng Nuo smiled and nodded, some words are up to the point, and it is not necessarily beneficial to finish the words, but it is better to hide half and expose half, so that the other party can take the initiative to explore.

No, Cheng Nuo didn't forget the business of coming to find a "cheap senior" this time, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and changed the topic:

"Senior, I heard that you founded a Chinese vocational education school this time?"

"Yes, there is such a thing." Huang Yanpei straightened his face and said seriously: "Do you remember asking you to write a few signed articles about the development of vocational education before?" At that time, it almost sparked a national discussion. ”

"Oh~ I remember, I did write a few articles, and at that time, it was also to study the theory of vocational education and expand the momentum of vocational education, and as a director of the company, of course, I have an unshirkable responsibility." Cheng Nuo affirmed.

"There is no fault in empty talk, and the country is prosperous through hard work." Huang Yanpei got up from the chair, paced and sighed: "In order to avoid giving words and empty words, and in order to give examples to show people, the Zhonghua Vocational School was established. ”

Cheng Nuo nodded, and asked again, "Does the senior have a specific plan?" ”

Huang Yanpei raised his head and said impassionedly: "Of course, it is aimed at the shortcomings of education that students despise labor and take being an official as the only purpose of studying, and pay special attention to cultivating students' labor habits and internship ability. ”

After saying this, Huang Yanpei suddenly patted his head and said, "You wait for me first, I'll come when I go." ”

didn't give Cheng Nuo time to react, Huang Yanpei trotted all the way and went straight to the door, not knowing where to go.

Fortunately, Cheng Nuo didn't wait too long, and after a while, he saw Huang Yanpei running over happily with a stack of documents.

"Junior brother, what do you think this is?"

"I'll take a look."

Take a look at it, it is full of various materials of Zhonghua Vocational School.

"This is a large plaque of "The Sacred of Labor", which I am going to hang above the auditorium at that time, and this is a symbol that symbolizes the 'omnipotence of both hands', which will be used as the school emblem, school flag and the mark of the school's factory products in the future......"

While listening, Cheng Nuo nodded, and finally put his eyes on the last poem, picked it up and couldn't help but recite:

"With my hands, with my brain, not only with my pen; To do, it's not just about saying...... What is this school? ”

With a hint of self-satisfaction, Huang Yanpei explained: "This is the school song of our school, and the first thing students do when they enter the school is to learn the school song, and the school song must be sung at the daily assembly." ”

Cheng Nuo nodded, looking back at the pile of documents on the table, it can be seen how much effort Huang Yanpei has put into it, and praised him sincerely: "Senior, it's not so much the school song as the true portrayal of you, just by virtue of this, I am ready to support you in practical actions this time!" ”

Hearing this, Huang Yanpei couldn't help but lean his head over, a little incredulous: "Is this true? ”

Cheng Nuo smiled: "It's true. ”

Through the understanding of these materials, Cheng Nuo roughly understood the general situation of this Zhonghua Vocational School.

The school adopts the policy system of "doing and learning simultaneously", "part-time work and study", and "combining work and study", requiring students to take turns to practice in five internship workshops such as car, pliers, and plating, and stipulates that students need to practice for one year after graduation, and only after good grades will they be issued with graduation certificates.

This is exactly what Cheng Nuo attaches more importance to, that is, the systematic cultivation of talents.

According to the results released by the Ministry of Education of the Beiyang Government, as of this year, there are 129739 schools in the country with 4294251 students.

But this point is still not enough in front of the whole environment.

Moreover, many of the disciplines in it are mainly humanities, which cannot meet the needs of industrial development.

Contacting the current water transportation industry, Cheng Nuo took the initiative to stand up and said politely: "But in addition to the ones that the seniors have planned, I am ready to add some steamship-related talent training." ”

Huang Yanpei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't reply in a hurry: "Tell me your reason." ”

Cheng Nuo paced a few steps, looked back and said seriously: "Wei Yuan once said in the "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom" that Yizhi has three skills, one is a warship, the other is firearms, and the third is the method of raising and training soldiers. ”

Huang Yanpei shook his head: "Although Wei Yuan clearly put forward the idea of hiring external talents, under the historical conditions at that time, it was commendable, but it is a pity that the Qing government did not adopt it in time!" ”

Cheng Nuo smiled: "That's an old thing, the Manchus are not all fools, we Li Zhongtang said that the purchase of machines is the first righteousness, and the pursuit of foreign craftsmen is the second righteousness, more than half of the Jiangnan manufacturing institute are foreigners, even now, our outstanding talents are too few." ”

Most of the other factories founded by the Manchu government to manufacture ships employed Western technicians.

Throughout modern times, the establishment, construction, and tortuous development of China's ship industry were closely related to foreign technicians, and until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ma Deji, director of the Jiangnan Shipyard, "hired more than 10 American engineers to prepare for the adoption of the latest technology."

The blueprint for the construction of the Fujian Shipyard, which echoes the Jiangnan Shipyard, is a comprehensive introduction of technology from abroad, and it is mainly completed by the hired French, and the Chinese are basically in a secondary position throughout the whole process.

But Huang Yanpei was not so easily persuaded, and while cleaning up the information on the table, he said: "Zhiyuan, you must also understand that the country was poor and white at the beginning, so it was built by introducing a full set of advanced Western equipment and technology from the beginning.

In order to use these equipment and digest and absorb advanced shipbuilding technology, it has become an inevitable choice to hire Western technical personnel to guide them, and the foundation of our shipbuilding industry has been laid under the guidance of external talents, and the progress of shipbuilding technology is also inseparable from Western talents. ”

Cheng Nuo smiled: "So isn't the problem coming?" ”

Huang Yanpei didn't seem to understand: "You go on." ”

Cheng Nuo stood with his hands behind his back: "The problem now is that we are too dependent on foreigners, take the Jiangnan Shipyard very close to us as an example, there are very few local shipbuilding talents, and we have to rely on outsiders, and the chief engineer is the British Morgan."

The engineering personnel of other departments, such as the shipbuilding department, the machinery building department, the design department, the ship airport, and the cold work room, are all British with their nostrils facing the sky and never looking at people squarely, and the organization of the whole institute seems to have another system of outsiders.

In addition to some simple business units, there are one or two British, and there are three or four Britishmen in the design office. They were all introduced by Morgan A or Morgan B, and they were all under the command of Morgan B...... Could this be what we want? ”

Huang Yanpei flatly refused: "Of course not!" ”

Cheng Nuo exhaled a breath of turbidity and said: "Save the lost navigation rights and revitalize the future aviation industry." It is not only to find a way out for the students of our vocational education school, but also to lay the foundation for our domestic aviation industry.

But the premise of all this is to build on the cultivation of local talents, so that we can take back the power from the hands of foreigners! ”

Huang Yanpei nodded seriously: "Okay, I support you, it just so happens that I have some old acquaintances with Jiangnan Shipbuilding, and this time I just took the opportunity to catch up with the old ones." ”

With Huang Yanpei's support, Cheng Nuo also has a point to borrow.

The enrollment scale of Zhonghua Vocational Education School will be further expanded, and the banner will be free teaching, including food and housing, and even stipends and subsidies, half-day study and half-day work, and training skilled workers with both craftsmanship and knowledge

It is only necessary for the student to work in an enterprise affiliated with the Academy of Sciences for three years after graduation.

Of course, the salary after work remains the same.

As a result, the number of people who signed up directly blocked the registration point and almost overturned the stall.

This scene also made many people look sideways, especially the group of people from the Jiangnan Shipyard.

Don't look at Cheng Nuo's mouth, although he complains a lot, he also knows that the domestic shipbuilding strength belongs to the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute.

Signed a shipbuilding contract with our China,a number of newspapers in the United States commented . The fact that the United States, such a powerful maritime power, allowed China to build large ships that met their needs, which shows that the shipbuilding technology of the Jiangnan Shipyard at that time was comparable to that of European and American countries.

The construction of the 10,000-ton ship in the United States also caused a sensation in China, because only a few countries could build the 10,000-ton ship at that time, and this construction project inspired the national pride of the Chinese people.

And what is this concept, the second time China built a 10,000-ton ship was 40 years later in 1958.

Unfortunately, at that time, the domestic supporting industrial capacity was extremely backward, as mentioned earlier, the main materials and equipment such as steel plates used in the 10,000-ton ship were imported from the United States, and the design drawings of the hull also came from the United States.

However, one thing is better that the steam engine, the "heart" of this batch of ships, was developed by the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute itself.

At the same time, while expanding production, talents were recruited, and engineering and technical personnel made a lot of design supplements to the 10,000-ton wheel, and all the original electrical systems of steam power were modified.

In terms of technology, the shipbuilding level of Jiangnan at that time was not inferior to that of the British steamship companies in Shanghai, and the shipbuilding was only catching up with the Western shipbuilding industry in terms of speed and tonnage.

But talent, they are also lacking.

Cultivating local talent, and they're doing it too.

As for the results...... Anyway, there is only one word to evaluate Cheng Nuo's momentum.

Envy.
