Above the blue waves, a passenger ship is cutting through the waves.?
Shen Yimo pointed to the vast sea and said: "Brother Shi Zeng, this Peiping University District is like the sea in front of us. On the surface, there are rippling waves, but in fact, there are turbulent undercurrents. Our trip is extremely difficult!"
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to bite the bullet." Li Shizeng said with firm eyes.
Li Linyu (nephew of Li Shutong) standing next to him said: "When we go to Pingjin, we must first reverse public opinion, otherwise it will be difficult for us to carry out our work."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Xiao Yu spoke with a thick Hunan accent.
"The biggest bad guy in the north is that Zhou Hexuan! This guy has bad intentions and is reluctant to give up his position as the president of Peking University, so he makes things difficult for us in every possible way!" Zhang Ji said full of resentment. In addition to working at Peking University, he also served here. He has to take up a post in the Forbidden City because he is the deputy director of the Forbidden City appointed by the government.
Li Shuhua defended Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou is also doing it for the students. It is indeed inappropriate for schools to suspend classes."
Zhang Ji said angrily: "Li Runzhang, who are you helping?"
"Mr. Puquan's words are serious. I am not speaking for anyone. I also support education reform." Li Shuhua said quickly.
"Hmph," Zhang Ji sneered, "Brother Shi Zeng, in my opinion, the first thing we need to do when we go to Peking this time is to start a pen war. Only by ruining the reputation of Zhou Hexuan can we restore our reputation!"
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate," Li Shizeng waved his hand. "Because of the education reform, we have offended too many people in the south. When we go to Peking, we must not make enemies everywhere. The first thing I did when I went to Tianjin was to talk to Zhou Hexuan face to face. Let’s talk and persuade him to support our educational reform.”
Zhang Ji said disdainfully: "What's there to talk about with a junior? When you and my brothers were making revolution, Zhou Hexuan was still wearing crotchless pants. Look what he said in the newspaper? He called you names and scolded you. , simply disrespectful!"
Li Shi once said with a wry smile: "My reforms have caused thousands of students to be suspended from classes. I really deserve to be scolded. He was not wrong in scolding them, but they all came from different angles. The three most prestigious people in Peking University are the Jaemin (Cai Yuanpei) and Zhaoxian." (Jiang Menglin), and the third one is Zhou Hexuan. Peking University is the top priority in this education reform, and with Zhou Hexuan’s help, we can get twice the result with half the effort. We are doing a century-old educational undertaking, and we can’t let things go away because of words, nor can we let things go away because of people.”
"Congratulations, sir!" Li Shuhua said with admiration.
"You are still so naive and think the best of everyone." Zhang Ji said helplessly.
Zhang Ji is the kind of person who likes to play intrigues. Historically, Yi Peiji was removed from his posts as Minister of Agriculture and Mines due to factional fighting, and only retained the position of Dean of the Forbidden City. After the September 18th Incident, Peking was in danger, and Vice Dean Zhang After proposing to transport the cultural relics from the Forbidden City to Xi'an, Song Ziwen insisted on transporting the cultural relics to Shanghai.
Zhang Ji suspected that Li Xuanbo, Yi Peiji's confidant, was behind the scenes. He actually colluded with the judges, bribed witnesses, and accused Yi Peiji and Li Xuanbo of privately appropriating cultural relics in the Forbidden City. Yi Peiji's reputation was completely ruined. This unjust case was not investigated until after the founding of the People's Republic of China. .
When engaging in education reform, Zhang Ji was in the same camp as Yi Peiji!
…
It is now early October, before Li Shizeng and others leave for the north, the Nanjing National Government has finally approved the organizational outline of the Peiping University District.
In other words, from the beginning of the school year to now, for a whole month, the central education department has not made a final decision. They have been wrangling and holding various meetings. The students of Pingjin Public School No. 9 have become victims, and all classes have been suspended waiting for that. Help people discuss education reform.
Because the name "Zhonghua University" was already notorious in public opinion, the name "National Peking University" was adopted after the merger of the nine schools.
The former public universities became affiliated colleges of National Peking University. For example, Beijing University of Technology was named "National Peking University First College of Engineering", Beiyang University was named "National Peking University Second College of Engineering", and Agricultural University was named
"National Pyeongchang University Agricultural College".
Since public schools in Beijing and Tianjin generally have salary arrears of 8-10 months, Li Shizeng, through frequent activities in Nanjing, finally obtained funding from Tianjin Customs and Changlu Salt Bureau with the consent of Song Ziwen (10,000 yuan per month)
.
Instigated by Zhou Hexuan to write such a newspaper article, Li Shizeng left Nanjing one and a half months earlier than in history. Even so, by the time he arrived in Tianjin, the time had already arrived on October 10, which happened to be during the Double Tenth National Day.
Zhang Ji and others stayed at a hotel in Tianjin, while Li Shizeng took Li Shuhua to Sanletang to visit Zhou Hexuan.
The servant led them in, and unexpectedly met Jiang Baili, Zhang Junmai and Xu Zhimo in the living room. These three people were traveling north together to visit Liang Qi.
"Brother Baili and brother Junmai, I didn't expect you two to be here." Li Shizeng said with a smile, cupping his fists.
"Brother Shi Zeng!" Jiang Baili and Zhang Junmai stood up together.
Zhou Hexuan also greeted: "Hello, Mr. Shi Zeng, and hello, Mr. Runzhang."
Li Shizeng said, half jokingly and half complaining: "Mingcheng, you scolded me in the newspaper, how can I get better?"
"If I don't scold him more harshly, I guess Mr. Shi Zeng is still staying in Nanjing." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Jiang Baili asked: "Have the education funds been raised?"
Li Shizeng nodded and said: "We have raised the funds. Tianjin Customs and Changlu Salt Department will allocate 10,000 yuan per month for education expenses."
"I think it's hard to get this money." Zhang Junmai said pessimistically.
Li Shizeng was very optimistic: "The Central Ministry of Finance has said so, but they still dare to withhold funds."
What an innocent and lovely old gentleman he is!
Zhou Hexuan reminded helplessly: "Mr. Shi Zeng, don't forget whose territory Tianjin belongs to. You have been used as a weapon."
"What do you mean by being a spearman?" Li Shizeng didn't understand what he meant.
Jiang Baili explained: "The money from Tianjin Customs and Changlu Salt Department must first be used by foreigners to repay old debts. There is a lot of money left, and the Nanjing government wants to get it, but Tianjin is Yan Xishan's territory, and both parties are now
There is an overt and covert struggle surrounding Guan Yuyinzi. If you want to take money from the Customs and Salt Administration, you are running headlong into a three-way struggle between foreigners, Nanjing and Yan Xishan."
Li Shizeng was dumbfounded when he woke up the dreamer with one word: "This, this... what should I do?"
Li Shi really wanted to cry. The Nanjing government was determined to abolish the university system. In order to insist on educational reform, he did not hesitate to cause many universities in the north to suspend classes. This infamy must have been committed. He knew it very well and did not care about personal fame and fortune.
After finally losing his old face, he begged his father and grandma everywhere to raise funds, and Song Ziwen also agreed to grant him a monthly tax of 10,000 yuan. Li Shi had not been happy for a few days, but now he found out that he had been tricked.
"Alas." Zhou Hexuan thought Li Shi had come with money, but he didn't expect that his hands were empty.
Li Shizeng was lying on the sofa in the living room as if he was exhausted.
He is really tired and heartbroken!
Zhou Hexuan said: "We have to find a way to break the situation, otherwise the northern education sector will continue to be in chaos." 8
