Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

"Extraordinary, extraordinarily, the new government is officially announced. President Xu appointed Lu Zhengxiang as the chief of foreign affairs, Fu Zengxiang as the chief of education, and Cao Rulin as the chief of transportation..."

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

In order to earn more money, some newsboys still did not take a break. They ran around among the crowd with their bags on their shoulders, shaking the newspapers in their hands and yelling: "The new chief executive has announced that he will lead a delegation to Europe in person to negotiate various post-war arrangements." matter..."

"Hey, kid, what kind of newspaper is that in your hand?"

At the breakfast stand next to him, a young man put down the soy milk, wiped his mouth casually, and turned his head to look at the content of the newspaper curiously.

"Master, this is the temporary supplement of "Ta Kung Pao" that was just printed today. Would you like to take a look?" The newsboy trotted over, clutching the newspaper in both hands.

"Really, I said why no one showed it to me, it turned out to be a supplement." The young man suddenly realized, and after talking to himself, he said: "Don't call me Lord, I'm not much older than you, so call me another. "

"Then..." The weather was still a bit cold. After thinking for a few seconds, the newsboy sniffed his nose and asked tentatively, "So is your boss?"

"Uh, forget it, forget it, I won't embarrass you anymore." Although he was still a little dissatisfied with this title, the young man didn't want to entangle him any longer, 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 mind, just give me five grandchildren."

The young man stretched out his hand and took out a piece of ocean and put it on the table: "Here is a piece of ocean for you, and a piece for me. It just so happens that the corner of the dish is a bit bland, and this newspaper can be more flavorful."

Looking at the "big head" on the table, the newsboy's eyes lit up immediately, and he was about to reach out to take it, but he didn't know what to think of, so he returned it: "One...a piece of ocean is too much, I can't find it."

The young man was overjoyed when he saw this, turned around and said with a smile: "With your sincerity, you don't need to look for the rest of the money, it will be your extra reward."

The newsboy was stunned for a moment, and when he realized he was about to kneel down, he said in a nasal voice, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your great kindness."

The young man hurriedly grabbed the other party's arm. Under the background of the atmosphere, he originally wanted to express a few thoughts, but he watched the newsboy's nose form a snot bubble, and finally saw that the thing broke with his own eyes. He couldn't help laughing immediately. : "Little guy, it's just an ocean, there's no need to do such a big gift."

Thanks to Dade for saying a few good words, the newsboy held Dayang tightly, turned around and left with a bouncing jump, at this time he looked like a young man should be.

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

"Little guy, wait a minute."

Looking back, it was the young man from just now again, and the newsboy said nervously, "You...do you still want me to do something?"

Unexpectedly, the young man actually tore open the Ta Kung Pao in front of his face, splitting it in half.

The newsboy's face turned red in an instant, and he trotted over quickly, took off the satchel while running, and took out all the newspapers inside, speaking with a hint of crying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the newspaper didn't satisfy you just now, I'm still here If there is anything else, you can see if there is one you like, and I will give it to you..."

Seeing this scene, the young man didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Little guy, you have misunderstood. I didn't say that I was dissatisfied with the newspaper just now."

The newsboy sniffled and asked doubtfully, "Misunderstanding?"

The young man patted his thigh, pointed to the newspaper that had been split in two, and explained, "It's all my fault. I didn't make it clear. It's like this. I'm only interested in news about Professor Cheng Nuocheng. , I don't even care."

He said and handed over the one he wasn't interested in: "It happens that you still have a runny nose, so sucking it like this is not a solution, take this part and use it as a tissue, why are you still standing there, take it quickly. "

Regardless of whether the newsboy agreed or not, the young man just paid the bill and turned away with his friends.

Looking at the half of the newspaper in his hand, and looking at the leaving back, the newsboy's eyes were a little wet, and he rubbed the newspaper in his hand until it was softer, just about to wipe his nose, then put it down again, and stretched it out on his body.

"I heard from my husband that it will snow again in a few days, and the windows at home are not tight enough. I just used these newspapers to seal the seams. It won't be as cold as it was a few days ago, and Dayang can save to buy something else. ..."

Walking on the street, the young man's friend looked back at the breakfast stand, and said a little puzzled: "Liu Zi, don't you have an old saying in China, which is 'Send the Buddha to the west, and the good deeds will be done to the end', since you have given money, Why don't you give a little more, so that the help will be even greater?"

Little Six rubbed his nose, and said calmly: "I don't know how many days of hard work the little guy has done for a piece of ocean. It will allow him to live 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 'everyone is innocent but guilty', am I right?"

"Yes, Pride, your understanding of our Chinese culture is getting deeper and deeper." After the praise, the little six had a trace of worry on his face, holding the newspaper in his hand: "The current situation is turbulent. I have so many babies, I am really worried about him in the future!"

The voice of the second half of the sentence was a bit low, and Pride couldn't hear it clearly: "Sixth, what did you just say? Please say it again."

Little Six pretended to be okay, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm almost at Professor Cheng's house, and I'm wondering if the other party will go out to socialize, if that's the case, then I'm out of luck."

Pride shook the things in his hand, and said with a smirk: "I think you are saying that Professor Cheng is unlucky, after all, there are so many good things from the Northeast."

While speaking, Pride was already ahead.

The little six in the back sighed silently: "I'm just worried that the Northeast won't attract him!"

In the courtyard, Cheng Nuo was still making the final revisions of the textbooks for the new school year. Unlike other professors at Peking University, he preferred to have a clear teaching book, which not only facilitated students to preview and review at any time, but also facilitated him to follow up on the teaching progress.

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Jiangzuo rushed in quickly, and his tone was not very friendly: "Zhiyuan!"

Cheng Nuo raised his head and said with a smile, "Happy New Year Lifu, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes."

"Bring the red envelopes back. I don't think you even know that you lost a large sum of money." Jiang Jiangzuo pulled out a chair, sat in front of him and asked, "Zhiyuan, I have something to ask you. Before leaving, President Fan Yuanlian arranged for you and Cai Yuanpei to be members of the International Committee of the Lufan Library in Belgium?"

"Yes, there is such a thing. In addition to me and Mr. Cai, there are Mr. Fan himself, and Ye Gongchuo, the former director of the General Post Office. Is there any problem here?" Cheng Nuo replied.

"The problem is big, why did you push it?" After asking loudly, Jiang Jiangzuo felt a little inappropriate: "I'm not questioning your decision, I'm just a little puzzled, agreeing to this matter can not only make some voices in the political arena, but also in the international community. The impact on the Internet will be even greater.”

Looking back, after making sure that he didn't pay attention to the situation here, Jiang Jiangzuo lowered his voice and said: "Xu Shichang is not a good person. He became the master of the public family, and he might cause trouble for us at any time. There may not be enough cards."

Needless to say, Fan Yuanlian and Cai Yuanpei are both old acquaintances of Jiang Jiangzuo and the others, this seems to be the first time Ye Gongchuo has heard of it.

In fact, Ye Gongchuo was an important historical figure in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. He not only made certain achievements in Ci poetry, collection, document sorting, religion and other cultural aspects, but also was a key figure in the development of our modern transportation.

He has successively served as the director of the Road Administration Department, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications, the chief minister of the Ministry of Communications, and the minister of the Ministry of Railways. He is considered to be the second person in the "Department of Transportation" after Liang Shiyi.

As a theorist of transportation to save the country, Ye Gongchuo actively advocated the development of transportation, paid attention to transportation education, and advocated transportation to save the country. Even when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the trapped areas still refused to cooperate with Japan.

All the conditions are in line with the Academy of Sciences' standard of "making friends", Jiang Jiangzuo is really puzzled, why Cheng Nuo rejected this opportunity to become famous.

Cheng Nuo acted unhurriedly, and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Lifu, don't you understand, this reputation seems to be good, but it's actually a hot potato. Right now Mr. Cai is being held back everywhere, Mr. Fan Forced to resign, that Ye Gongchuo can't protect himself, and he hangs out with this group of people, what will the current government think?"

Jiang Jiangzuo patted his forehead, frowned and said: "That's right, even if you want to make friends, you should look for those real potential stocks in the political arena, not these old people... No, no, Cheng Nuoke in my memory It’s not this kind of person with shallow knowledge and power-seekers, there must be something else hidden in it!”

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

Cheng Nuo shook his head with a wry smile, got up and closed the door, and said helplessly, "Lifu, Lifu, you can feel any disturbance."

Jiang Jiangzuo smiled happily: "I can't help it. After staying with you for a long time, I can still guess something. Tell me, what do you want to do, I will fully support you."

Cheng Nuo raised his eyebrows: "You don't want me to join that committee again?"

Jiang Jiangzuo took a sip of tea and said: "That was just now, although I still don't know why you rejected the invitation, but I know you have your reasons for doing things, although you may not always be right, but at least you can't be wrong, follow along You just do it later."

After working for a long time, Jiang Jiangzuo had already developed a high level of trust in Cheng Nuo. The inquiry just now was just a little confused. By the way, he wanted to see what Cheng Nuo needed from him.

It's a new year, and the government is undergoing major adjustments. He is very uncertain and needs to gain some sense of stability from this.

But Cheng Nuo didn't want to tell what hadn't happened. He was very worried that his unnecessary changes would lead to changes in major events, so that some unexpected things would happen.

However, facing the trust of his subordinates, Cheng Nuo didn't want to let him down. After much deliberation, he finally excused it with the turmoil between the North and South governments.

In fact, the matter is very simple. It is about sending representatives to Europe. In name, the Beiyang government is more in line with international legal principles, and the representatives sent out have more identity significance, but the southern government does not think so.

While the Beiyang government was still pulling each other and didn't know who to send to Paris, the southern government had already sent representatives, so the conflict between the two sides further widened.

However, even if there was not much valuable information, it was enough for Jiang Jiangzuo to digest. After saying goodbye in a hurry, he didn't know what to do.

Just when Cheng Nuo felt that he finally had a rare peace, Little Six came to the door again, and said 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 arms factory. Do you think you can help us?"

Cheng Nuo smiled but said, "Military factory? Why isn't it the same as before?"

Little Six rubbed his hands: "Weapons, don't worry about this, you can buy something else temporarily, but the military factory contains more things, such as ordnance factory, arsenal factory, grain and fodder factory, quilt factory, artillery factory, etc., by the way , I know that Professor, you can also build airplanes, and we can also build aviation factories in the Northeast..."

Seeing that Little Six stretched out his fingers and counted one by one, and ten fingers were not enough, Cheng Nuo hurriedly stopped him: "No, your appetite is quite big. If you really want to do it all, can you eat it?"

Little Six laughed and said: "You can take it step by step. If you can't eat it right now, you won't be sure later."

Unexpectedly, the other party's appetite was so big, and Cheng Nuo was also amused: "Take the aerospace factory you mentioned as an example. The parts of the aircraft built by our Academy of Sciences are basically purchased from outside, and they can be automated. Not too much, really."

"That's right, then we should set up a factory, shouldn't we?" Little Six said with a smile.

"Then let me do the math for you, the test frame, the fuselage, the wings, the rudder, the propeller, the air conditioner, the starter motor, the air conditioner starter..." After a series of technical terms, Cheng Nuo himself felt that this project was very difficult. Complete in a short time.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoliuzi seemed to have plans for a long time ago, and he seemed to listen more enthusiastically as he went to the back: "Yes, yes, this is it. In fact, I have long wanted to get our domestic aircraft, but unfortunately my old man thinks it is too expensive, and we don't have any." People in this area have no choice but to give up temporarily, but it will be different if you come here.

In addition to the development of military factories, some military production can also be converted to civilian production later, such as self-built railways, domestically-made automobiles, and tricycle production..."

After a series of imaginings, Cheng Nuo would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted. After all, this is the Northeast. Whether it is the industrial base, raw material resources, or transportation facilities, it is much better than the Southwest.

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

Seemingly aware of Cheng Nuo's intentions, Little Six finally said: "Professor, we have spared no effort in expanding the factory and have never been limited by the budget. Is this sincerity enough?"

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