Fei Jingting immediately smiled and said: "This is a good thing, I will definitely support it."
Mr. Liang slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Okay, what I want is Jing Ting's words. With Jing Ting's participation, this lecture club will be completed."
"I'm not busy. Mr. Liang hasn't said anything about the charter of this lecture club yet."
Mr. Liang immediately explained the articles of association of the Lecture Club. First, he invited cultural celebrities to form the board of directors. If you want to become a director, you must first be famous and recognized by everyone. For example, Mr. Liang and Principal Cai. To become a director of the Lecture Club, you must pay a certain amount of money.
The membership fees constitute the lecture club fund, from which a certain amount is withdrawn every year to invite foreign scholars to give lectures in China.
Fei Jingting was happy and said: "Mr. Liang really praises me too much. There is no problem in paying for it, but what reputation do I have?"
Mr. Liang wondered: "Jing Ting knows nothing?"
"What should I know?"
"Your book is so penetrating that no one has thought before. It has caused a stir in the cultural world and is highly sought after by most people. President Cai also mentioned a while ago that he wanted to invite Jing Ting to give lectures at Peking University."
After "Farming, Nomadism and the Ocean" was published and printed, the Commercial Printing Press was very enthusiastic about it for a while, and then Mr. Liang also jumped in to support this book.
Many literati and scholars have criticized the Commercial Press and Mr. Liang for being a waste of money. Who is Liang Yong? As the Jinmen tabloid revealed the details of Fei Jingting, Yu Nei basically knew it. Fei Jingting was a higher-ranking person.
A person who writes stories and novels is not considered a cultural person at all in the eyes of elite intellectuals.
Is it possible that Fei Jingting, who had not written any good words, suddenly wrote a social science book, which attracted the attention of the Commercial Press and Liang Qichao?
The Commercial Press has fired many old-school editors in recent years and introduced a lot of fresh blood. The books it publishes are also becoming more and more close to the vernacular, which naturally makes the conservative literati extremely dissatisfied. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fei Jingting's book was also published
When he didn't come out, there was a lot of scolding.
Coincidentally, when the scolding war started, Fei Jingting hid in Jiushan Mountain to practice. The newspapers were full of scolding, but Fei Jingting didn't respond at all.
Later, the tabloid went straight to Fei Jingting's house and spent several days squatting there before discovering that Fei Jingting was not at home at all.
The reporters originally thought that since Fei Jingting was away, the scolding was just a matter of shaving one's head and picking a fight, and it subsided within a few days. Unexpectedly, Mr. Liang couldn't bear it and was the first to jump out to start a scolding with him, and then Fan Wenlan also jumped out.
In August, "Farming, Nomadism and the Ocean" was released, which caused a lot of controversy. Many people knew that there was such a book. They couldn't help but be curious and bought it casually.
It doesn't matter at first glance, I couldn't put it down once I read it. Fei Jingting's book is a mixture of many books, which has stripped down the underwear of Western civilization, and many people took a breath after reading it.
The core of Western civilization is plunder, so Japan, which has learned Western civilization, immediately turned into a jackal and bit off a piece of meat from China. Now Fussamo can no longer satisfy Japan, and the Japanese have set their sights on Jiaodong and Northeast China.
.
Many insightful people have realized that simply imitating Western civilization will not make China prosperous and strong. Since the core of Western civilization is plunder, then after learning from Western civilization, China will naturally plunder outwards.
But looking around the world, even China has been torn to pieces by the great powers, and each has divided its sphere of influence. Where is there anything left for China to plunder?
Many knowledgeable people who regard Mr. De and Mr. Sai as golden rules are in despair. China cannot be saved by imitating the West. So where should China go?
It was also because of Fei Jingting's book that some study groups were born early in the north and south of China, laying the seeds for future changes earlier.
After the book was published, there was still controversy, but it was much less. Fei Jingting, who originally wrote a playbook, was promoted to a rare historian in China and a master of social sciences!
As a result, his reputation skyrocketed.
After listening to Mr. Liang's words for a long time, Fei Jingting always had a smile on his face and sighed slightly in his heart. At least he had done something for China. It allowed the Chinese people to discover the essence of Western civilization earlier and found the right path for China earlier.
path of.
Mr. Liang said: "I know Jing Ting is not short of money, but with Jing Ting joining the board of directors this time, there will definitely be a lot of candidates to raise the funds."
Fei Jingting felt quite strange. Facing Mr. Liang, Fei Jingting always had the feeling of hiding under a big tree to enjoy the shade. As soon as the book was completed, he himself became a big tree in the blink of an eye... How can this be explained?
Fei Jingting immediately agreed: "Since Mr. Liang is thinking of me, I will definitely participate in this lecture club and contribute both money and effort. How about it?"
"Jing Ting is so happy! In this way, when the club is established in two days, Jing Ting will definitely be there to take photos as a souvenir."
"good."
Mr. Liang said it was business and was in a hurry to contact other people, so he stood up and said goodbye. Fei Jingting sent him away. Two days later, Mr. Liang sent his family to inform Fei Jingting that they would prepare a lecture club at Mr. Liang's home in the afternoon.
matters.
Fei Jingting arrived at the place twenty minutes early and went in to take a look. What a great guy, it was really lively.
Pioneers like Mr. Liang had a much better reputation than Kang Youwei, so they naturally received a lot of help.
Many characters whose names are only mentioned in textbooks but whose names are not seen were all present.
Wang Daxie, Principal Cai, Wang Chonghui, Xiong Xiling, Fan Yuanlian, Wang Jingfang, Principal Zhang, Mr. Yan, Zhang Jian, Zhang Yuanji, Huang Yanpei, Guo Bingwen, Hu Rulin, Lin Changmin, the total number of directors of the Lecture Club is more than 20, just pick one.
A person with a head and a face.
Mr. Liang was busy greeting guests at the door. Principal Zhang and Mr. Yan were the most familiar with Fei Jingting. When they saw Fei Jingting arriving, they immediately came over and said with a smile: "Jingting is very relaxed. I heard that you came back a few days ago. I
I went to the door, but the building was empty."
Fei Jingting hurriedly confessed to Principal Zhang: "I'm ashamed. I'm really busy with chores."
Mr. Yan said: "Jing Ting has a college education, so it's okay to be lazy. Last year, Fan Wenlan talked about co-writing a book with Jing Ting. Unexpectedly, in the end, Jing Ting completed it by himself.
The book...is very good."
Mr. Yan only gave a very good evaluation. In fact, the real thoughts revealed in the book are too cruel and unacceptable.
These days, apart from the old antiques who tried to find ways to enrich the country and strengthen the military within the original core of Chinese civilization, the new generation of intellectuals and elites are either clamoring to learn from Europe and the United States, or clamoring to learn from Japan.
They always naively think that as long as they learn from Europe, America, and Japan, China will become prosperous and strong again.
Fei Jingting's book broke these people's illusions. If China is so large and has such a large population, it has completely copied the system of the great powers. How can there be any place for China to plunder and complete Yuan Dynasty accumulation?
Fei Jingtingsheng had a tender face and a tall figure, with a jade tree facing the wind. He was extremely eye-catching wherever he went. He briefly talked to Principal Zhang and Mr. Yan, and the two introduced him to other directors.
Principal Cai looked Fei Jingting up and down, nodded secretly, and immediately said with a smile: "Jingting has outstanding knowledge, and his books have astonished the world. Are you interested in teaching at Capital University?"
Principal Zhang immediately became unhappy: "Principal Cai, Teacher Fei is our lecturer at Beichen University. It's somewhat unethical for you to poach someone in person like this, isn't it?"
Principal Cai laughed loudly and said: "Communicate and communicate, and there are trains between Beijing and Tianjin. At worst, we just have to go to Jingting."
President Cai’s butt is a little crooked, but his idea of running a school is right. Just this year, he first invited Mr. Li to be a professor in the Department of Geology at Kyungseong University, and then invited the litterateur Sha Fei to return to China to teach. Last month, he invited Mr. Zhou
When I arrived at Beijing University - it was Mr. Zhou who said, "There are two trees in front of my house."
People arrived one after another. Fei Jingting and Principal Cai exchanged a few words before turning to get to know other people.
After a round, everyone had arrived. Mr. Liang said some important words, and everyone applauded, and then gave generously.
Fei Jingting felt that the lecture club was well run, so he directly donated 5,000 pounds.
Mr. Liang suddenly frowned: "Jing Ting, just do what you can, and you don't have to donate all your family wealth, right?"
But Fei Jingting said: "It doesn't matter, I can still afford the money."
When the Lecture Club was founded, more than 20 directors donated a lot of money, which was directly turned into a fund for inviting foreign scholars.
Someone asked Mr. Liang who was the first scholar invited.
Mr. Liang said: "The Lecture Club has just been established. Now it would be time-consuming and laborious to directly invite foreign scholars. I think it is better to invite a scholar in China?"
President Cai then said: "Dewey is at Beijing University now. I think we can just ask Dewey to spare time to give lectures. Then we can discuss now which scholars to invite next year."
Everyone discussed for a while and agreed. As for the scholars to be invited next year, let’s wait until next year. There are different opinions now, and they are all talking among themselves. It is not easy for European and American scholars to come to China. Even if they are given enough lecture fees, will they be willing?
It's not necessarily true that I wasted such a long time on the road just to come to China to give lectures.
Mr. Liang has a wide network of contacts and knows many Chinese scholars abroad, so he recruited the matter of contacting foreign scholars.
And it was all right, the photographer invited by Mr. Liang also came. He put up the camera, asked everyone to stand in a row, shouted three numbers, and with a bang, the image was taken.
Mr. Liang prepared a dinner, but unfortunately everyone in the party was too busy, so they all excused themselves and left after taking photos. Fei Jingting, who had been playing the role of a transparent person, followed the crowd and returned home.
Fu Yunzhao came out, took a sniff, and asked, "Didn't you drink?"
"No, I haven't even eaten."
"Oh, then I'll ask Sister Guan to heat up dinner for you." As Fei Jingting walked for a while, Fu Yunzhao said: "Brother Jingting, if you go to Japan, I won't follow you."
"Um?"
Fu Yunzhao explained: "There must always be someone to guard the house. I'm afraid that Wei Jiang will come to the door again."
