Lu Shizheng walked out of the school building with a few people.

Clemenceau said: "Professor Lu said so well! ”

He cleared his throat,

“

Literature is like a fire in a furnace, we borrow fire from others, light ourselves, and pass it on to others, so that we can share it with all. ’

”

Vocal and emotional imitation.

Lu Shi coughed lightly and said, "That...... Actually, this is a famous quote from Mr. Flaubert. ”

Clemenceau was immediately embarrassed,

Flaubert was a French writer with good roots, and he didn't even know it.

Lu Shi waved his hand, and was about to say a few words of comfort,

Then

"Good word! What a good word! ”

There was a Chinese language in my ears.

The most amazing thing is that it is still a Beijing film mixed with children's sounds.

Lu Shixun followed the prestige, and instantly recognized Gu Hongming and Cai Yuanpei, and a middle-aged man who was less than forty years old, and he didn't know him.

Three Chinese are looking at the name plate of the Ming Fa Building,

"The difficulty of cursive writing lies in dotting and dotting, knotting and knotting, and Professor Lu has done a good job."

"Continuous and closely echoed~"

"What's the matter? Occasionally, there is no connection, but the blood is continuous, this is the highest state. ”

……

They blew the cowhide to the earth.

Lu Shi himself couldn't help but be ashamed when he heard it, and hurriedly stepped forward,

"Mr. Gu!"

Gu Hongming exaggeratedly "Ah! With a sigh of surprise written on his face, he said, "Lu Shi, why are you at the University of Paris?" ”

"Tsk......"

Lu Shi was speechless,

Fools can see that the other party is acting.

"I came to the funeral of Emile Zola, and by the way, I was at the University of Paris," he said. ”

Cai Yuanpei was shocked,

"Master Zola has died?"

After speaking, he realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet, and hurriedly said: "Professor Lu, under Cai Yuanpei, the cursive word Heqing." Guangxu 18 years of Jinshi, currently acting as the principal of Chengxin School, and at the same time employed as the chief teacher of Nanyang College's special economic class. ”

He brought in the middle-aged man he didn't know when he was there, and said: "This one is Jiang Guoliang, who can be good at poetry and writing, and can work calligraphy." ”

Lu Shi was a little confused,

"Gong calligraphy?"

He looked up at his own words, and then at Jiang Guoliang,

Written like this, it can be considered a "good word!" What a good word! How did the calligraphy level of the Qing court reach such a point?

Thinking like this, Lu Shi couldn't help but look at the other party.

Jiang Guoliang also felt that the sycophant just now was a little too much, and blushed slightly,

"Under Jiang Guoliang, the grass word looks at the clouds."

Lu Shi suddenly,

"It turned out to be Brother Guanyun."

He knew this word because of "Guangxuan Poetry Altar Point General Record", the author Wang Guoyuan named Jiang Guanyun as "Tianhuixing Desperate Saburo Shixiu".

In fact, Jiang Guoliang's better known name is Jiang Zhiyou,

He was an advanced, revolutionary patriotic poet.

For example, in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, after the failure of the uprising of the Self-Reliance Army, Tang Caichang was arrested and died, and he wrote sadly:

The husband is righteous, what a miracle of life and death!

The comrades were scattered, and the flesh and blood were separated.

Failure to protect the people's hearts, loyalty to the monarch will not move!

The body and soul are not separated, and the heaven and earth are left behind for me.

It's really heartwarming.

It's a pity that Jiang Zhi's thinking changed dramatically in his later years, and he deleted all the early new school poems, and his poems also turned to the old-fashioned, becoming the appearance he hated the most.

Jiang Guoliang was very surprised,

"Mr. Lu, do you know me?"

Lu Shi nodded,

"Of course. Poems you wrote, such as 'Wabi Wan Chuan Valley, run by aliens'......"

"Poof!"

Jiang Guoliang sprayed,

"This ...... That's not a joke. I was also young. ”

Lu Shi wanted to laugh when he heard it.

Jiang Guoliang's early works contain anti-Qing and Manchu thoughts,

But looking at it now, it should have become sleek and sophisticated.

But that's normal,

According to normal historical calculations, Jiang Guoliang is about to establish the China Education Association with Cai Yuanpei and others, and then he will be the manager of the patriotic girls' school.

In this case, even if the queue is full, it can only be lined up silently and in the heart.

Lu Shi looked at Cai Yuanpei again,

"Brother Heqing."

This celebrity who can't get around in recent history,

The first director of education, who opened up the wind of scholarship and freedom, made contributions to China's education beyond He Ziyuan and Li Lin.

Of course, Cai Yuanpei's controversy is also very big,

He's not a good guy.

Poincaré approached,

"Professor Lu, is this your friend?"

Lu Shi shook his head,

"Mr. Gu can be regarded as friends, and the other two can only be regarded as compatriots. I'll figure out how to eat and stay for them. ”

Friends and compatriots,

The gap between the two is not small.

Poincaré suddenly realized,

"Understood. Then I won't arrange room and board for them at the Collège de France. ”

Since Professor Lu wants to avoid suspicion, he will naturally cooperate.

In fact, Lu Shi didn't know the intention of Gu Hongming and the others, so he acted like this.

The two exchanged in a low voice.

Jiang Guoliang was surprised, and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Gu, I feel that Mr. Lu's French is better than Ling." Listen, how fluent people are......"

Gu Hongming almost turned his back on his anger,

"You say you're a man...... It's good anywhere, why is it a mouth!? ”

Jiang Guoliang pouted,

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."

Here, Lu Shi finished chatting with Poincaré, then turned to the three of them and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the place where you stay." ”

They walked out of the campus together and hailed a carriage.

The horse-drawn carriage heads straight to the Ritz Hotel Paris.

Gu Hongming was a little worried,

"Won't it be expensive?"

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"It doesn't matter."

Cai Yuanpei, who was next to him, couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Mr. Gu, why do you think this Ritz Hotel will be very expensive?" ”

Gu Hongming showed an expression of reminiscence,

"The hotel was inaugurated in 1898. At that time, the Prime Minister of Japan happened to visit our DPRK, and I was in charge of the reception, chatted with him, and learned about the Ritz Hotel. It is said that on the opening day, European aristocrats and tycoons, including the Russian Tsar, gathered, and the depth of the background can be seen. ”

Jiang Guoliang was curious,

"Is it the Tsar Nicholas who banned "The Way of the Morning News", but instead made the sales climb steadily?"

"Ah......h

Gu Hongming couldn't help but be speechless.

He moved out of Nicholas II to highlight the gold content of the Ritz,

It's good now, but I always feel a little silly.

Lu Shi saw that the old gentleman was a little embarrassed, so he inserted the topic: "What are the three of you doing when you come to Europe this time?" ”

As soon as we talked about business, the atmosphere in the car became a lot more serious.

Gu Hongming lowered his voice,

"Lu Shi, do you remember that book? "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli". ”

Lu Shi smiled,

"Mr. Gu, this book has already been published! First the United States, now it has reached Europe...... Ah, by the way, you may not know that the foreign title of that book is "1587, A Year of No Significance: The Ming Dynasty in Decline". ”

Gu Hongming replied with a wry smile: "I've been paying attention, how can I not know~"

He twisted his beard,

"However, after all, it is about the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it is indeed a bit ...... as a teaching material for the university hall Alas......"

Sigh deeply.

Lu Shi was also helpless,

Facts have proved that the way of export to domestic sales is unreliable.

"Before, we thought that as long as the book was well received overseas, the difficulty of popularizing it in China would be reduced. But looking at it now, it's still a little whimsical. ”

Gu Hongming's beard trembled,

He hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't hold back,

"Not because of you?"

Land Hours: ???

Confused,

"Why is it because of me? I'm not in the country, hey! ”

Gu Hongming said extremely depressedly: "You said that you can't just write a book of "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", why do you still have to write "The Nature of Japanese Civilization"? Now that it's over, those people feel that the latter is more suitable as a textbook. ”

"Ah......h

Lu Shi really didn't expect it to be like this.

The First Sino-Japanese War undoubtedly gave the Qing court a resounding slap in the face,

They think very simply,

Far away from Britain and France, they can't reach and can't beat it,

What about the little days these days?

It's not really impossible to beat, right?

As long as you study the enemy well, stop underestimating the enemy, and then regain your strength, there will definitely be no problem.

At this time, "The Nature of Japanese Civilization" was born,

It talks too much about Japan's weaknesses.

In particular, the culture of shame, in the eyes of those in the Qing court, is simply the best shot in the arm to restore confidence.

As for reflective books like "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", let's stand aside.

Lu Shi was curious: "So, their current idea is to use "The Nature of Japanese Civilization" as a history textbook in the university hall?" ”

Gu Hongming's beard began to shake again,

Looking like that, I don't seem to know how to speak.

"Tsk......"

Lu Shi couldn't help but be speechless,

"If you have anything to say, just say it~ Who are the two of us......"

Gu Hongming was helpless,

"Say no more. I won't say anything. ”

He cowered in his seat and hung himself like a stuffy gourd.

Lu Shi had to look at the other two.

Cai Yuanpei coughed lightly,

"Guanyun, you say."

He is very slippery, and he knows how to protect himself.

Jiang Guoliang was very direct and said, "Mr. Lu, their idea is, can you write a set of books?" What England, France, America, everyone is human, and in terms of national character, who does not have weaknesses? ”

Landtime: !!

I even thought I had misheard.

Jiang Guoliang said, "Everyone is human, in terms of national character, who has no weakness? That's right,

But now there is a hammer to analyze the weakness of the national character, ah, hey!

People are physically dominant,

You can't use a spiritual shock wave to bombard with muskets and cannons, right?

Lu Shi was speechless.

He asked Jiang Guoliang: "Brother Guanyun, let's not mention them." You think so too? ”

Jiang Guoliang "......", hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell him frankly,

"Mr. Lu, this year, I would like to establish the China Education Association with Heqing. It is divided into three departments: education, publishing and industry, compiles and prints new textbooks, advocates and publicizes new learning, and promotes educational reform. In the "Country Teacher" you wrote, didn't that gentleman teach physics? ”

Lu Shi understood,

"So, you also think there is a need for new textbooks in history?"

Jiang Guodian nodded,

"As the saying goes, 'know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles'. Only by studying foreigners can we learn from foreigners. ”

His thoughts are a little more normal,

It is not to study the so-called "national weakness", but to learn from the long skills.

Lu Shi looked at Cai Yuanpei again,

"Brother Heqing has already thought about it?"

Cai Yuanpei was a little confused about Lu Shi's thoughts, and he was uneasy in his heart, so he said: "It is still very important to run the school and the girls' school well. Of course, this matter must be considered in the long run, and we must not rush for quick success, otherwise it is easy to have the opposite effect. ”

Slick! ×3

Jiang Guoliang, Gu Hongming, and Lu Shi complained at the same time in their hearts.

Lu Shi frowned and thought for a while,

Then, he smiled,

"You're also interesting. Old man Gu, you came to find ...... on behalf of the Qing court."

Before the words fell, Gu Hongming directly interrupted: "Lu Shi, I must correct you." I took the place of the Jingshi University Hall, not the Qing court. In my opinion, "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" and "The Nature of Japanese Civilization" are excellent textbooks. Don't worry, I'll stand up to the pressure. ”

Lu Shi laughed,

"What? Do you really want to risk cutting off your head and let the university hall teach "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli"? ”

Gu Hongming blinked subtly,

"Don't worry, you won't be beheaded."

Looking at it like that, it was obvious that I had an idea in my heart.

Lu Shi looked at Cai Yuanpei and Jiang Guoliang again,

"You are representing yourselves......"

Jiang Guoliang opened his mouth, ready to interject.

Lu Shi raised his hand,

"Ah, I know, I know, you are representing the upcoming China Education Association, right?"

Jiang Guodian nodded,

"That's right. We need new textbooks on foreign historiography. Of course, if Mr. Lu is willing to return to China to teach, we will definitely welcome it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yuanpei next to him lowered his voice and reminded: "Guanyun, don't make up your mind." Didn't you hear just now, Mr. Lu is now a great nobleman in England, and he is extremely favored, so why go back? ”

Jiang Guo glanced at his friend,

"You are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

Cai Yuanpei couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Lu Shi watched from the side, shaking his head secretly in his heart,

I don't know how these two got together.

"I really won't go back," he said. ”

Jiang Guoliang sighed,

In fact, I didn't have any hope.

He continued: "Well, about the textbook...... Mr. Lu, there is no need to dig out the hollow ideas, as long as it has a structure with "The Nature of Japanese Civilization", so that we can learn from and emulate other countries. ”

Lu Shi closed his eyes and leaned back,

"Learning...... Follow ......'"

He muttered and closed his eyes.

The carriage was quiet,

Everyone was silent for a long time, so long that Gu Hongming and the three of them even thought that Lu Shi was asleep.

At this moment, the voice of the coachman was heard outside,

"Gentlemen, here we are."

Lu Shi opened his eyes,

"Let's go, I'll arrange for you to stay first."

The four got out of the carriage in turn.

The Ritz Paris comes into view,

Its main body is a typical Baroque court building,

The exterior is very simple, without excessive decoration and cumbersome design, with white as the main color, which contrasts sharply with the surrounding buildings.

The lines of the building are smooth and elegant, giving it a sense of nobility and elegance.

After the coachman finished carrying his luggage, the four entered the gate.

The lobby of the hotel is a large and bright space,

The floor is paved with delicate marble, smooth and bright, reflecting a brilliant light,

In the center of the lobby is a huge crystal chandelier that emits a soft light that illuminates the entire space.

Flanked by delicate carved glass doors, the various rooms and restaurants are flanked.

The gold accents on the doors echo the golden elements inside the lobby, creating a resplendent atmosphere.

Lu Shi said: "Brother Guanyun and Brother Heqing, this is your first time in Europe, right?" How does it feel? ”

Cai Yuanpei sighed,

"Magnificent and breathtaking."

Jiang Guoliang on the side sighed: "It's just that there are too many differences from imagination." I always feel that this place is also full of inequality and unfreedom, and the freedom and equality of the common people are superficial, and only those capitalists are real people. ”

Brother is really left,

In the Qing court, it was full of people and feudal monarchy;

When I arrived in Europe, I sprayed the capitalists again.

Lu Shi stretched,

"In this world, how difficult is it to be a real 'person'?"

As he spoke, he looked out the door.

The streets are covered in a thin layer of snow, covered in silver,

Pedestrians wore thick coats, tightly wrapped, and walked heavily armed in the snow, looking unusually clumsy.

Jiang Guoliang frowned,

"Mr. Lu, what you said is too strange."

The corners of Lu Shi's mouth hooked a trace of curvature,

"Brother Guanyun, in Europe, rich people will hire full-time drivers to drive for themselves, what do you think is the reason?"

Jiang Guoliang fell into deep thought,

After a long time, he said, "For enjoyment, of course." ”

He thought of the carriage just now,

"For example, we can talk in the carriage, and even recite poems, drink wine and sing songs."

Lu Shi nodded,

"That's really one of the reasons, and there's something else."

Jiang Guoliang was a little confused.

Cai Yuanpei, who was next to him, spoke: "I heard that gentlemen in Europe will handle work in the carriage, read documents, discuss with partners, and test each other with partners...... Yes! Aren't we talking about work in the carriage? ”

Lu Shi replied: "Yes." Sometimes, even the vast majority, rich people also need to work in wagons. ”

This statement made Jiang Guoliang's face a little ugly,

"Is Mr. Lu acting as a defender?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hotel lobby instantly became like it was frozen.

“……”

“……”

“……”

Silence reigned.

After about half a minute, Cai Yuanpei shouted: "Guoliang!" Watch your words! ”

He didn't even call Jiang Guoliang's cousin.

On the other hand, Gu Hongming also said: "Lu Neng has researched a game like fighting landlords, and it is said that there is also "Monopoly", how can it be possible to defend the capitalists? Guanyun, you're talking too much! ”

But when Jiang Guoliang stared at Lu,

There was no hint of readiness to back down in his eyes.

Lu Shi found it interesting,

A Qing Dynasty man turned out to be a large number of specially approved capitalists,

Isn't feudalism more backward in comparison?

But this also reflects the characteristics of the times, people with lofty ideals spray when they see unreasonableness, no matter which country or nationality, they are treated equally.

Jiang Guoliang is obviously this kind of person,

Freedom, Equality, Democracy......

He really believed in these.

Lu Shi smiled,

"Brother Guanyun, capitalists must be hateful. But have you ever thought that what is really terrible is the capital system itself? ”

Jiang Guoliang frowned and said: "Rich people hire coachmen, which shows that after weighing, they think that the value of their time is far greater than the price of employment, isn't this exploitation?" ”

Lu Shi shrugged,

"On another level, rich people working in cars are also being squeezed by capital."

Jiang Guoliang: !!

A word to wake up the dreamer.

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean ......?"

Lu Shi explained with a smile: "It is everyone in each link who is alienated by capital. Therefore, it is not as simple as hanging people from street lamps...... You should really play Monopoly, and after you play it, you will understand that under that set of rules, no one can escape. ”

In fact, if you have read books on political economy, you can understand this truth.

But how many people in the world think so deeply?

Including Lu Shi himself, he is also a layman.

And Jiang Guoliang, who had just opened his eyes to see the world, was shocked by him,

"Mr. Lu, you are really ......"

As he spoke, he straightened his clothes and saluted deeply to Lu Shi, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Mr. has a high level of insight and knowledge, which is rare in the world!" Please bow down to the students! ”

His voice was already loud, and there was also the movement of making a big salute.

While talking,

Brush –

The hotel guests next to him all looked at each other.

Soon, someone recognized Lu Shi,

"That's Lu, right? Writers who wrote "Hunting" and "Chaowen Dao"? ”

"Yes, he's right. Frankly, those two are good books, but they are too tiring to read. I like his "The Mystery of Roger" more and the anti-transferee at the end is impressive. ”

"The most powerful thing about him is that he has a humanitarian spirit and an internationalist spirit. The University of Paris is going to be renovated recently, and he is the one who is leading the way. ”

"Is this true? Lu, I like you! ”

……

Lu Shi's face darkened,

Why does France also have Nantong?

He hurriedly helped Jiang Guoliang up and said in a low voice: "Brother Guanyun, I just want to give that example to illustrate that many things can't be blindly imitated and learned, you have to know what they are, and even more so why they are, right?" ”

Jiang Guoliang has been completely convinced,

"Of course, sir...... Not...... Sir, what do you mean, ready to write a textbook? ”

(End of chapter)
