"Extra, extra, the new government was officially released, President Xu Da appointed Lu Zhengxiang as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Fu Zengxiang as Minister of Education, and Cao Rulin as Minister of Communications......"

On the first day of the Gregorian New Year, the sky was bright and there were already many people on the streets.

In order to earn more money, some newspaper boys still did not rest, and scurried around the crowd with their bags, shaking the newspaper in their hands and shouting: "The new general secretary has announced that he will personally lead a delegation to Europe to agree on various ......post-war matters."

"Hey, that kid, what's the newspaper in your hand?"

At the breakfast stall next to him, a young man put down soy milk, wiped his mouth casually, and turned back to be curious about the contents of the newspaper.

"Master, this is the temporary supplement to Ta Kung Pao that I just printed today, do you want to take a look?" The newsboy trotted over, newspaper in both hands.

"yes, I said why no one showed it to me, it turned out to be a supplement." The young man suddenly realized, and after a few words to himself, he said: "Don't call me master, I'm not much older than you, change your name." ”

"Then ......" The weather was still a little cold, and after thinking for a few seconds, the newsboy snorted and said tentatively: "Then call you boss?" ”

"Well, forget it, I won't embarrass you." Although he was still a little dissatisfied with this title, the young man didn't want to dwell on it anymore and asked, "By the way, how much is your newspaper?" ”

The newsboy wiped his nose, and then stretched out five fingers: "If you don't dislike it, give me five eldest sons." ”

The young man stretched out his hand and took out a piece of ocean and put it on the table: "Give you a piece of ocean, bring me one, it just so happens that this corner of the dish is a little light, and this newspaper can be more flavorful." ”

Looking at the "big head" on the table, the newsboy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was about to reach out and take it, but he didn't know what he thought, so he retreated again: "One ...... There's too much of an ocean for me to find. ”

Seeing this, the young man was immediately happy, turned around and said with a smile: "With your sincerity, you don't need to find the rest of the money, as your extra reward." ”

The newsboy was stunned, and after reacting, he knelt down directly, and said in a thick nasal voice: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your great kindness." ”

The young man hurriedly dragged the other party's arm, and under the background of the atmosphere, he originally wanted to express a few words, but he saw a snot bubble in the newsboy's nose, and finally saw this thing break with his own eyes, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "Little guy, it's just a piece of the ocean, and there is no need to make such a big gift." ”

Thankful for Dade for saying a few good words, the newsboy held the ocean tightly, and turned away with a jump, only then did he look like a young man.

When he was about to reach the door, another sentence came from behind:

"Little one, you wait first."

Looking back, it was the young man just now, and the newsboy said worriedly: "You...... Are you still looking for me? ”

Surprisingly, the young man tore open the "Ta Kung Pao" in front of his face and split it in half.

The newsboy's face turned red instantly, and he hurriedly trotted over, took off his satchel as he ran, took out all the newspapers inside, and spoke with a hint of crying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the newspaper just now didn't satisfy you, I have something else here, you see if there is a match, I'll give you ......"

Seeing this scene, the young man cried and laughed and said, "Little guy, you have misunderstood, I didn't say that I was dissatisfied with the newspaper just now. ”

The newsboy sniffled and wondered, "Misunderstanding? ”

The young man patted his thigh, pointed to the newspaper that was divided into two and explained: "It's all my fault, I didn't make it clear directly, that's the case, I'm only interested in the news about Professor Cheng Nuocheng, as for anything else, I don't care." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the one he wasn't interested in: "It just so happens that you still have a runny nose, and it's not a way to suck it like this, take this part over and use it as a tissue, why are you still stunned, hurry up and take it." ”

Regardless of whether the newsboy agreed or not, the young man directly settled the account and turned around with his friends and left.

Looking at the half of the newspaper in his hand, and then looking at the back of the departure, the newsboy's eyes were a little moist, he rubbed the newspaper in his hand, and when it was soft, he just wanted to wipe his nose, put it down again, and flattened it on his body.

"I heard that Mr. said that it will snow again in a few days, and the windows at home are not tight, just use these newspapers to paste all the seams, it will not be as cold as a few days ago, and Dayang can save some other ......"

Walking on the street, the young man's friend glanced back at the breakfast stall and said with some puzzlement: "Liuzi, don't you have an old saying in China, called 'Send the Buddha to the West, do good things to the end', since you give money, why don't you give a little more, so that the help will be greater?" ”

Xiao Liuzi rubbed his nose and said calmly: "I don't know how many days of hard work the little guy has had in a big ocean, and he can live for a similar year, if there are more, it will be a burden and add disaster to the little guy." ”

My friend Pride suddenly realized: "This is called 'the husband is innocent and guilty', do I understand it correctly?" ”

"Yes, Pride, your understanding of our Chinese culture is getting deeper and deeper." After the praise, Xiao Liuzi had a trace of worry on his face, holding the newspaper in his hand: "Now that the situation is turbulent, Professor Cheng has so many treasures in his hands, and he is really worried about him later!" ”

The second half of the sentence was a little quiet, and Pride didn't hear it clearly: "Liuzi, what did you just say?" Excuse me to say it again. ”

Xiao Liuzi pretended to be fine, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm almost at Professor Cheng's house, I'm thinking about whether the other party will go out to socialize, if that's the case, then it's unlucky." ”

Pride shook the things he was carrying and said with a wicked smile: "I think what you said is that Professor Cheng is unlucky, after all, there are so many good things from the Northeast." ”

As he spoke, Pride was already ahead of the curve.

The little sixth son in the back sighed silently: "I'm just worried that the Northeast won't be able to attract him!" ”

Unlike other professors at Peking University, he prefers to have a clear doctrine, which is not only convenient for students to preview and review at any time, but also for him to follow up on the progress of teaching.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Jiang Zuo broke in in a hurry, and his tone was not very friendly: "Zhiyuan!" ”

Cheng Nuo looked up and smiled: "Good New Year Lifu, Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope." ”

"Return the red envelope, I don't know if you lost a lot of money." Jiang Jiang Zuo pulled out a chair, sat in front of him and asked: "Zhiyuan, I have something I want to ask you, did General Fan Yuanlian of the Ministry of Education arrange for you and Cai Yuanpei to be members of the International Committee of the Lufan Library in Belgium before leaving?" ”

"Yes, there is such a thing, in addition to me and Cai Gong, there is also Chief Fan himself, and the former director of the General Post Office, Ye Gongxuan, is there any problem here?" Cheng Nuo replied.

"It's a big problem, why did you push it?" After asking loudly, Jiang Jiangzuo felt that something was wrong: "It's not to question your decision, I'm just a little puzzled, and promising this matter will not only have some voices in the political arena, but also have a greater influence in the world." ”

After looking back and making sure that he hadn't paid attention to the situation here, Jiang Jiang Zuo lowered his voice and said: "Xu Shichang is not a good thing, he is the head of the public family, maybe he will trouble us at any time, and we may not have enough cards in our hands at that time." ”

Fan Yuanlian and Cai Yuanpei needless to say, they are both old acquaintances of Jiang Jiang Zuo, and this Ye Gongsui seems to have heard of it for the first time.

In fact, Ye Gongqiu was an important historical figure in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, not only in the lexicology, collection, literature collation, religion and other cultural achievements, but also a key figure in the development of our modern transportation industry.

He has successively served as the Secretary for Highways, the Deputy Minister of Communications, the Chief Minister of Communications, and the Minister of Railways, and is considered to be the second person in the "Department of Transportation" after Liang Shiyi.

As a theorist of transportation salvation, Ye Gongqiu actively advocated the development of transportation, attached importance to transportation education, and advocated transportation to save the country, even when the Anti-Japanese War broke out and the occupied areas were trapped and insisted on refusing to cooperate with Japan.

All kinds of conditions meet the standards of the Academy of Sciences for "making friends", Jiang Jiangzuo is really a little puzzled, why Cheng Nuo just rejected this opportunity to become famous.

Cheng Nuo was not in a hurry, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Lifu, don't you understand, this reputation seems to be good, but in fact it is a hot potato, now that Cai Gong is being constrained everywhere, Chief Fan was forced to resign, and that Ye Gongxuan is also difficult to protect himself, follow this group of people, what does the current public think?" ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo patted his head and frowned: "That's right, even if you want to make friends, you are looking for those real potential stocks in the political arena, not these old men...... No, no, the Cheng Nuo in my memory is not this kind of shallow and powerful person, there must be something hidden in this! ”

The more he talked, the brighter his eyes became, and his voice became louder unconsciously.

Cheng Nuo shook his head with a wry smile, got up and closed the door, and said helplessly: "Lifu, Lifu, but if there is a little disturbance, you can detect it." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo smiled happily: "No way, I've been with you for a long time, I can still guess some clues, say it, what do you want to do, I will fully support you." ”

Cheng Nuo raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want me to rejoin that committee?" ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo took a sip of tea and said: "That was just now, although I still don't know why you refused the invitation, but I know that you have a reason for doing things, although it can't always be right, but at least it won't be wrong, just follow you." ”

The long-term work has made Jiang Jiang Zuo have a very high trust in Cheng Nuo, and the inquiry just now is just a little confused, and by the way, I want to see what Cheng Nuo needs him to do.

It's a new year, and there is a big adjustment within the government, and he is very uncertain in his heart, and he needs to get some sense of steadfastness from here.

But Cheng Nuo didn't want to tell what hadn't happened yet, and he was worried that some of his unnecessary changes would lead to changes in major events, so that there would be some unexpected things.

However, in the face of the trust of his subordinates, Cheng Nuo didn't want to live up to it, and after thinking about it, he finally prevaricated with the turmoil of the government in the north and south.

In fact, the matter is very simple, that is, about the representatives sent to Europe, nominally the Beiyang government is more in line with international legal principles, and the representatives sent out are more significant, but the southern government does not think so.

When the Beiyang government was still pulling each other and did not know who to send to Paris, the southern government had already sent representatives, so the contradictions between the two sides further widened.

However, even if there is not much valuable information, it is enough for Jiang Jiang Zuo to digest, and after saying goodbye in a hurry, he doesn't know what to do.

Just when Cheng Nuo felt that he finally had a rare quiet, Xiao Liuzi came to the door again and got straight to the point:

"Professor, I have discussed with my old man, the original arms order remains unchanged, but we also want to build our own military factory, can you help us?"

Cheng Nuo smiled: "Military factory? Why isn't it the previous arsenal? ”

Xiao Liuzi rubbed his hands: "Weapons, this is not in a hurry, you can buy something else for the time being, but the military factory contains a lot of things, such as ordnance factories, arsenals, grain factories, clothing factories, artillery factories, etc., by the way, I know that you can also build airplanes, professor, and we can also build aviation factories in the Northeast......"

Seeing that Xiao Liuzi stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one, and ten fingers were not enough, Cheng Nuo hurriedly stopped: "No, your appetite is quite big, if you really want to do it all, can you eat it?" ”

Xiao Liuzi smiled: "You can come step by step, you can't eat it now, and it may not be possible later." ”

I didn't expect the other party's appetite to be so big, and Cheng Nuo was also amused: "Take the aerospace factory you said as an example, the parts and components of the aircraft built by our Academy of Sciences are basically purchased from outside, and there are really not too many that can be autonomous." ”

"Yes, then it's time to set up a factory, right?" Xiao Liuzi said with a smile.

"Then I'll do the math for you, test frame, fuselage, wings, tail rudder, propeller, air conditioner, starting engine, air conditioning starting engine, ......" A series of professional terms, Cheng Nuo himself felt that this project was difficult to complete in a short time.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liuzi seemed to have a plan, and the more he went to the back, the more he seemed to listen: "Yes, yes, that's it, in fact, I have long wanted to get our domestic aircraft, but unfortunately my old man is too expensive, and we don't have anyone in this area, so I have to give up temporarily, but if you come, it will be different."

In addition to the development of military factories, it is also possible to convert part of military production to civilian production later, such as building its own railways, building domestically produced automobiles, and producing tricycles......"

After all, this is the Northeast, whether it is the industrial base, raw material resources, or transportation facilities, it is much better than that of the Southwest.

Although considering that there is still more than ten years away from the major historical events, there is enough time to improve the southwest, but he does not want to give up the northeast just like that.

As if sensing Cheng Nuo's intentions, Xiao Liuzi finally made up the knife and said: "Professor, we have spared no effort in expanding the factory, and we have never been limited by the budget, this sincerity is enough, right?" ”

Cheng Nuo no longer hesitated: "Okay, I think it's feasible." (End of chapter)
