Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 266 Worker Ants
In front of the gate of Kyoto University, there is a tense atmosphere.A human wall of college students and security guards gathered at the gate of the campus formed a confrontation.A few leaves falling from the dead tree rustled on the ground.A cold wind blew between the two groups of people.Those slogans and flags fluttered faintly.The bleak atmosphere unique to winter pushed the chilling feeling of the scene to a higher level.

Although the entrance of the university is still open normally, and pedestrians keep going in and out, but under the pressure of this scene, it seems a bit weird.

Kitahara and Miyagawa, who came out of Dongda University, were not afraid of such an occasion.After all, at the University of Tokyo, there are many proud sons of heaven, and various protests are not uncommon within the University of Tokyo.There are people holding signs, flying flags, and even running naked naked.However, it is indeed rare to accuse a vice-principal by name like this.

The pair of men and women continued to walk in generously.The security guards didn't stop them, they just looked around and let them in.The campus of this Toyo University has always been free to come and go. Except for the research office area, the public can enjoy it at any time.

Walking into the campus, the horns of students protesting behind them gradually became smaller.However, the chilling atmosphere became even more serious.Most of the students in the campus corridors are in a hurry, and they don't have the feeling of being in their 20s and full of sunshine.From time to time, a group of about five security guards patrolled by.The afternoon sun shone on the lawn of the school, and it turned pale.

As if feeling a very unusual feeling of depression in the campus, Miyagawa frowned slightly, looking around every corner of the campus, trying to find some vitality.Constantly stopping and going, Miyagawa finally found a new book seminar of the history department under a teaching building.The information about this seminar brought back the memories of her and Bei Yuan starting a reading club at the university, and Miyakawa immediately excitedly dragged Bei Yuan into the classroom on the first floor.

"Slow down, don't be so anxious. The seminar hasn't started yet." Beiyuan said with a smile, stretched out his hand slightly, and then looked at the seminar poster pasted outside the classroom.

The poster on the wall shows a newly printed book called "The Traveling of the Eastern Lands and Sending Tang Ji".

Obviously a history book.

It is said to be a new discovery of recent historical materials.

Scholars accidentally discovered from the archives the travel notes of an ancient oriental envoy sent to Tang Dynasty.Because it is an extremely important discovery of first-hand historical materials, it has very high historical value for restoring the customs and style of the Eastern Continent countries in the past, as well as official exchanges, so scholars from Kyoto University immediately reviewed and published this book.

The so-called point correction is mainly to add punctuation.

Make sentence breaks.

After all, there are no punctuation marks between sentences in ancient Chinese, which does not conform to modern reading habits.Therefore, it is necessary to check the ancient editions.

Kitahara stretched out his hand and gently grabbed Miyagawa who was about to walk into the classroom, and pulled her back, "Don't you take a serious look at the poster outside? Otherwise, wait a minute, what book are you talking about? Who is the speaker?" I don’t even know. Don’t just sit there, in the clouds and fog, and wander off.”

When Miyagawa was reminded like this, he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and then he and Kitahara were in the corridor together, reading the poster.

Below the poster is the introduction of the proofreader of this ancient book—Professor Kayo Fujimura.He is a scholar of Oriental history at the Graduate School of Letters, Kyoto University, and is the dean of the school, which can be described as a high position.

At first glance, his resume is amazing, and his papers are extremely prolific.He has published more than 170 papers. According to his research career, on average, he can reach the level of one paper a month.This is really an exaggeration.Because a normal paper takes nearly a year for the publication process alone, including the writing time, it is obviously very good to be published within one and a half years.

However, although it seems impossible, in reality, such scientific research geeks do exist.

On the side of the poster is Fujimura's head.He has a pair of eyes, a high hairline, and most of the top of his head is bald. He has a hooked nose protruding forward. His eyes are particularly sharp, and he looks very aggressive.This temperament is consistent with his prolific essay style.

Looking at the poster, Bei Yuan felt a little uncoordinated.A scholar who produces high-quality papers must be utilitarian in writing.It is impossible to achieve such high productivity without chasing hot spots and catering to the preferences of journal editors.As long as the paper hits a hot topic, even if the research depth is not enough, it can often be published smoothly.

This is the secret to high productivity.

But the problem is that collation of ancient books is obviously not a kind of paper publication.

It's more like an act of sitting on the bench.

In the ivory tower of today's university, only papers published in prestigious journals are hard currency.

Apart from these scientific research activities, such as writing books, teaching courses, checking the school, etc., have nothing to do with the degree of success of a scholar in the academic system.

Teaching assistant, associate professor, professor.

This is a hierarchy within the university.

Only by publishing enough papers can one be promoted to the next level.

Until finally get tenure.

Before obtaining tenure, as long as there are not enough papers published, you will be out.

Get fired from the university.

Once fired, it means that the path in academia will be cut off.

This is the cruel paper elimination system.

In this secluded ivory tower, countless scholars who have not obtained tenured teaching positions are like worker ants, who must constantly work hard to publish their papers.Scholars who have obtained tenured teaching positions can gain fame after earning profits, and start to publish some discourses telling people not to be too eager for quick success in academics, and they have transformed themselves into guardians of the style of study.

This Professor Fujimura must be such a typical example.

The corners of Bei Yuan's mouth turned up slightly, he walked into the classroom, found a seat, and sat down.Miyagawa followed closely beside him.

As soon as I sat in the seat, I could already hear people whispering:

"Have you heard?"

"What did you hear? This Professor Fujimura is the running dog of President Takeuchi."

"What? No way?!"

"He is the dean of the Graduate School of Humanities and a member of the school committee. When he voted for Takeuchi, he voted for Takeuchi."

"If you put it that way, I don't even want to participate in this seminar."

"I can't help it. This is the world on campus now. It's all about Takeuchi's leadership."

Hearing this whispering discussion, Miyagawa turned his head quietly, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Why is there so much discussion about this Vice President Takeuchi? Even when you come to a seminar, you can hear Takeuchi's name." .”

At this moment, the footsteps of "click, click, click" sounded.A middle-aged man wearing a suit jacket walked into the seminar room. His appearance was the same as that of the scholar on the poster. The person who came was Professor Fujimura. The expression on his face seemed to hold some great authority in his hands, and his walk gave people a sense of swagger.Following behind him were several young teachers from the academy.They followed suit, slightly bowed their waists, like knights' squires, serving some extremely important person,

"Are you the professor or the emperor?" Beiyuan looked at the scene and the young teachers behind Fujimura with a sneer.
