Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Turning back to the normal timeline, it was not long after the "National" magazine was sent out.

On this day, Brother Xun quietly found a halal restaurant outside the alley called "A Bowl of Clear Soup and Big Beef Noodles", and was going to deal with it.

In fact, the Shaoxing guild hall where the residence "Bushu Bookstore" is located has a big pot of rice, but the big pot of rice is well known, and the emphasis is on large quantities and cheap food. As for the taste, it is a matter of opinion. Satisfactory.

As a food lover, Brother Xun, although he is good at cooking, but he was the only one in the house at the time, and the whole family was not hungry when he was full. Buying a roast chicken from the vegetable market and eating it with clear water noodles is also a special taste.

If the Ministry of Education pays a salary, it must be a small celebration. The project is also very simple, that is, go to the street to serve such a bowl of beef noodles.

"Master, a big bowl of beef, add noodles and meat." When he came to the booth, Brother Xun pulled out a bench, sat down, and chatted with the owner: "Look, your business is doing well today. It’s not even noon and I’m sitting around seven or eight.”

"Yo, you're a rare visitor. It's been a while since I saw you." The shopkeeper, who was still making plans in his hand, immediately raised his head when he heard a familiar voice, and said with a smile, "Hey, they're all old people. Customers are just taking care of business, it’s nothing.”

However, although the words are polite, when it comes to the dishes, the owner does not regard Brother Xun as an outsider at all. The meat used is not the common sliced ​​meat that can be seen in later generations, but a large piece of fat and thin beef. Immediately pour the stewed beef broth on top of the pot, it is delicious, sprinkle with cooked sesame seeds, cooked peanuts and other small ingredients, and finally garnish with coriander. After eating the noodles, drink a mouthful of thick soup, not to mention How delicious.

But just as Brother Xun was munching on the noodles, two people took the initiative to sit over without saying a word.

Brother Xun thought it was lunch time and there were no other seats. The two came to share a table, so he took the initiative to clear the table in front of him and politely indicated that the two could sit directly. He didn't mind.

Unexpectedly, these two people were also "strange people". After sitting down for a long time, they didn't say anything, just looked at Brother Xun like this, and finally Brother Xun couldn't stand it anymore, and looked away from his job, only to realize that this They were none other than Cai Yuanpei and Cheng Nuo, watching him eat with a smile on their faces.

"Yucai, it seems that this side is very suitable for you. Zhiyuan and I have to sit here and have a cup of tea before we notice us. This is the first time we have seen this state." Cai Yuanpei With a smile on his face, he is still very caring for this fellow villager.

"Brother Yucai, come here. This is the garlic and noodle soup I ordered for you just now. If you don't eat garlic in the noodle, the aroma will be reduced by half. As for this noodle soup, the original soup is the original food, and it tastes so good." Cheng Nuo took advantage of this While the two were talking, they brought garlic and noodle soup carefully. They only hated that they didn’t have a camera in their hands, otherwise they had to take a picture of the scene just now. If a southerner likes pasta, there must be two brushes.

In fact, the two of them came here this time not just to watch brother Xun eat and broadcast, but to find him out and see how his recent articles are written. Don't continue to be decadent in the study as usual It's too bad to deal with Jinshi Gutie.

But fortunately, although the two of them didn't see Brother Xun in the Shaoxing Guild Hall, they still learned about this restaurant where Brother Xun frequented from his brother's mouth, and saw him eating when he entered the room.

At first at the door, Cheng and Cai had to make a bet to see how long Brother Xun could find them at most, one said ten seconds, the other said 20 seconds, but in the end both of them made a mistake, and the bowl of noodles was about to bottom out Only then did they discover their arrival.

The two had no choice but to spread their hands together, both smiling wryly, keeping everything in silence.

After Brother Xun saw the garlic, his pupils dilated rapidly. He picked up a clove and started nibbling. He ate up the rest of the noodles in two mouthfuls. Finally, a bowl of noodle soup came and he burped with satisfaction on his face. With a smile: "Zhiyuan, at first glance, you are just like me. You are a fellow noodle eater, unlike my pedantic brother who spends all day dealing with stinky tofu. How weird, I don't think so, and I will call you two." A bowl of noodles."

Both of them smiled and waved their hands. They had just come out of the cafeteria of Peking University, so there was no room in their stomachs for anything else.

But now it's time for dinner, more and more diners are coming in from outside the door, and the three of them occupy a table. Although the owner didn't say anything, it's really not a good thing to delay people's business, so simply put it After two sentences, they left the restaurant and returned to "Bushu Bookstore".

Taking advantage of the moment when the water was boiling, Brother Xun said politely: "It's just us two brothers at home, and we usually do things as simple as possible, so at first glance, it may seem a bit messy, you don't mind."

Cai Yuanpei looked around, and said earnestly: "The other half of the family still needs to take care of it, and you have stomach problems. This is not a long-term solution. I think you can take over your younger siblings. Someone will cook hot meals and remind you when it's cold." Clothes, it’s still fine.”

Cheng Nuo took advantage of the situation and said, "Once the young people come over, it's not appropriate to leave the elderly alone at home. After all, they are not too young, and there is a headache that can't be dealt with. Just take them over, so that career and family can be balanced."

Brother Xun hesitated for a moment, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face. It wasn't that he didn't want to take over his family, but that he couldn't reach his goal financially.

The salary of the Ministry of Education looks very good on the surface, but in fact it is often not paid or paid late. Even if you can get it, you only get a little cash, and most of the rest will be converted into banknotes. Although the denomination looks good, it is actually consumed. But it took a lot of effort, and it was not as easy to use as Dayang.

To put it bluntly, everyone who blocks the road and robs knows that as long as they find the ocean, it can be seen how low the Beiyang government's private credibility is.

Cai Yuanpei, as the eldest brother and old boss, of course knew Brother Xun's thoughts, and said with a smile: "If the funds are tight, it's okay to say, the position of professor of liberal arts at Peking University is reserved for you, and the treatment is favorable. If there is me, Cai In one day, your allowance will not be deducted."

Cheng Nuo was on the sidelines cooperating: "It's too tiring for my sister-in-law to take care of the whole family all the time. After all, the two of you brothers haven't separated yet. I think we can find a few more aunts to help. It will save worry and effort. But this For one thing, the salary of a professor at Peking University alone may not be able to support such a big family. I happened to run a magazine "Youth" with the purpose of 'the youth is strong, the country is strong'. We open a column there, and the manuscript fee is absolutely top-notch in the industry.”

That's right, both Cai Yuanpei and Cheng Nuo had discussed long ago that they would come to meet Brother Xun. One liked his literary accomplishment, and the other liked his writing skills. They would be a perfect partner.

You must know that these two usually spend a lot of time poaching people for Peking University or the Academy of Sciences, but now they are talking about these things without blushing, as if they really think about Brother Xun wholeheartedly. Two minds.

But to be honest, Jiang is still old and spicy after all. In the process of persuasion later, I found that Cai Yuanpei was too eloquent. After hearing this, Cheng Nuo almost couldn't hold back. Not long after, the temperature was still very high, and he almost couldn't bear that small bite.

Seeing this, brother Xun said with concern: "Zhiyuan, what's wrong with you, are you alright?"

Cheng Nuo looked calm on the surface, but in reality he felt a little pain. In order not to show his secrets, he took a breath of air-conditioning through his teeth and said slowly: "Now it's the empty name of the republic, but there is no reality of the republic. In terms of autocracy, even if Yucai is located in a country's top education institution, it is hard not to be affected by such evil spirits, you might as well get out as soon as possible, so as not to get muddy and watery in the future, all troubles."

Brother Xun pondered for a moment, closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "The current Ministry of Education is no longer the Ministry of Education that Mr. Cai is in. Even now that China has become a world of power, what axioms can there be? It works and infects each other. People Man is a deceiver, everyone is a deceiver, and even one person is deceived, and then deceives another in the blink of an eye."

After Cheng Nuo listened to it, he silently recited the most famous passage in "Diary of a Madman" in his heart - I looked up the history and found that there is no date in this history, and the words "benevolence, righteousness and morality" are written crookedly on every page .I couldn't sleep anyway, and after reading carefully half the night, I finally saw the words between the words. There were two words "eat people" written all over the book.

In this way, it is even more necessary to tie Brother Xun to the chariot of "Youth" magazine, so that children of this era can understand the "charm" of Brother Xun's words in advance. If there are any elementary school teachers who support the recitation of the full text, it is simply a It could not be better.

At the same time, you can take advantage of this opportunity to push my brother. For a great writer of his level, there is no novel in his life, whether it is for the author himself, the readers, or even the development of modern literature. , is not a small regret.

As for the content, it is still written according to the outline of his original historical novel "Concubine Yang". Cheng Nuo is still very curious about how this boss wrote about Concubine Yang and Tang Minghuang. If it can be completed, it will definitely be the first time To come to the manuscript as a collection.

Just like that, Brother Xun, who was "ignorant and ignorant", was half dragged into the car by two experienced and enthusiastic "friends", and even handed over two polished "Hucha" himself - "New Youth" And "Youth", facing the large number of "Yuan" in front, indicated that he can fire infinitely, and he can fire as he wants.

Such enthusiasm almost scared Brother Xun away. In the end, Cai Yuanpei came out and dragged him back, expressing his permission to try part-time jobs before agreeing to their request.

If so, this matter will come to an end for now.

After returning home, Cheng Nuo began to carefully plan the industry of the Academy of Sciences. Now, there are very few of them that can be seen and put into practice. According to the plan, the next step is to prepare the ironworks in the United Nations, improve the process, and produce products that can be used for Civilian steel products are used to facilitate the launch of national bicycle brands, and then enter the light and heavy industry channels, step by step to promote the development of regional industrial industries, and improve the competitiveness of our products.

But the plan can’t keep up with the changes. I just heard the news that Japan is planning to open a branch factory of East Asia Match Co., Ltd. in Tianjin. The purpose is very clear to further reduce the living space of domestic products, so that all aspects of life will be affected by them. in the hands of others.

Apart from not wanting to give up the market to the little devils, there are of course other reasons. For example, the threshold for making matches is not high for Cheng Nuo. He can make them himself without waiting for the talents from the Academy of Sciences to come back.

Of course, you can also take advantage of opening a factory to subsidize the Academy of Sciences. It always depends on him, the dean, to get the money. There are too many variables, which is not good for long-term development.

But of course, this kind of thing can't be done recklessly, especially when it comes to products that are directly facing the market, you have to be extremely careful. This thing is not like a paper, which can be ignored after it is sent out. A series of complicated issues such as market response must be considered.

With the subsequent investigation, Cheng Nuo gradually discovered that although matches are small, they are related to people's livelihood, and the whole picture can be seen at a glance. Other industries are almost facing the same problem.

Although the national match industry started last month and has accumulated for many years, it should look good, but in fact it was born just like his older brothers and sisters, and was hit by the world powers.

These capitalist countries regard us as a huge market. On the one hand, they dump a large number of commodity matches that increase year by year to our country to make huge profits. On the other hand, they can set up factories in China to carry out economic plunder.

The most obvious is that at the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, although some match factories obtained the patent right for the production and operation of matches from the government, they could only monopolize the market of domestic counterparts, but had no effect on foreign powers. , can not restrict foreign businessmen from setting up factories and distributing matches in China.

For example, the Tianjin Natural Fire Bureau managed by Wu Maoding, a comprador businessman in Tianjin, was supported by Manchu Qing Minister Li Hongzhang and approved to enjoy the patent right in Hebei, but the German envoy actually raised objections to the Qing government, saying that "Tianjin Natural Fire Bureau requested that the This patent right belongs to him exclusively, and it is inconsistent with the covenant (referring to the unequal treaty)." According to the rule that the lower-level law must serve the upper-level law, it even ignored the provisions of the patent law of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

Another example is that match factories such as Chongqing Senchangtai and Juchang in Sichuan obtained patent rights for match production and sales from the local government, which failed to prevent British businessmen from transporting and selling matches from Shanghai to Chongqing.

Faced with this situation, a reporter had no choice but to say: "The so-called patent right is nothing but a piece of paper to 'foreign adults', and it's too embarrassing to wipe your ass."

It can be seen that the so-called patent rights are only some restraints on some powerless small factories in the national match industry, and they are not afraid of you.
