Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

After returning from the countryside, in order to speed up the work process, Cheng Nuo specially called Guo Shouchun, who was far away in Beijing Agricultural College, and asked him to take care of the promotion of chemical fertilizers while cultivating seeds in Sichuan.

With the support of this group of agricultural talents, Cheng Nuo can basically rest easy in the future.

Guo Shouchun came all the way here, and the outspoken Guo Shouchun still complained: "I said, Dean Cheng, you are too domineering. You watched me sow the seeds of the new season, but you made ten, oh no, eleven orders." The telegram sent me over, and insisted on letting me come over.

I haven't waited for the [-] acres of crops to germinate. If I leave like this, the previous efforts will be in vain. If you want me to say, we are like a bear breaking sticks, breaking one by one and throwing one by one, except for the one caught in the armpit. That, everything else is gone! "

In the face of talented people, Cheng Nuo has always treated them with courtesy, especially when they called them all the way to ask them to help, and if they didn't ask them to say a word, they really became a veritable "scholar".

"Old Cheng, don't you like to drink tea? I called you here for tea. You don't know that there are so many good teas in Sichuan." Cheng Nuo said with a smile after brewing a cup of new tea for Guo Shouchun. : "Look at the Mengding yellow buds I just bought. It took me a lot of effort to get such a little."

Guo Shouchun was dubious, held the teacup and sniffed it carefully, the sweet aroma was strong, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he saw that the buds were even, the soup was yellow and blue, and it was sweet and mellow after a sip, so he was satisfied: "Yes, It’s good tea, and I’m not making a trip in vain.”

Cheng Nuo laughed loudly: "It's delicious. It's delicious. The rest of it is yours. You can drink it however you want. If it's not enough for you, I'll get it for you. I just use it to make tea leaves." Eggs are fine."

"The premise is to cultivate new seeds for you and promote the golden land, right?" Guo Shouchun was not fooled by the tea jacket shells, and sneered: "This tea is expensive at first glance, and besides, when you put the tea leaves just now, you looked so fleshy." It’s not like I didn’t see it hurt like that, they’re all thousand-year-old foxes, so they don’t need to chat with me.”

Cheng Nuo smiled awkwardly, rubbed his chin and said, "The so-called extensive knowledge and broad knowledge, specialization and precision, I can barely get started on the production of chemical fertilizers, but I don't know much about the promotion of agriculture. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable in our Academy of Sciences." You are a powerful person, that's why I invited you here."

"That's right, I don't dare to say anything else, but I still have some experience in agriculture." After Cheng Nuo's self-deprecating compliment, Guo Shouchun's face was a little smug, and he said after taking a sip of tea: "I I don’t take advantage of you, I brought more than ten students to Sichuan this time to support our work.”

Thinking of the students under him, Guo Shouchun was relieved with a hint of pride: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. These students are all talents I have carefully selected from Peking University, Beiyang University, Beijing Higher Normal School and other schools. Given time, if It’s no surprise that these guys are all academically successful.”

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, Cheng Nuo asked curiously: "No, I remember that a few students from Peking University went to help. When did your team grow to this extent?"

Guo Shouchun laughed loudly: "There were few people at the beginning, but it doesn't mean that there will be fewer people later."

Cheng Nuo couldn't help asking carefully, and Guo Shouchun was not a person who could hide things. Before Cheng Nuo continued to ask a few more questions, he himself told the whole process of the matter in detail.

It turned out that with the expansion of the experimental field, Guo Shouchun, who used his habit to study "sacrifice", could hardly return to the original state of human resource embarrassment.

So I encouraged my student assistants to go back to various alma maters to promote, but I didn't expect the effect to be quite good.

On the one hand, there is a lack of upward channels for continuing to study in China. Today's Academy of Sciences is an opportunity for those students who want to continue to explore in their majors but have nowhere to go.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity, the funds, and the ability to study abroad.

On the other hand, the remuneration of the agricultural college is really good, not to mention that the salary is higher than the average level of civil servants, and every time it is a big ocean.

The fact that Dayang's salary alone is enough to make many people envious.

Of course, in addition to the above two points, there are also various reasons such as admiration for Cheng Nuo's reputation, determination to serve the country, and rejuvenation of the country through agriculture, which have prompted many young people with aspirations to join, and the threshold for applying for the exam has almost been broken.

Talking about this, Guo Shouchun said with emotion: "Actually, I didn't expect so many students to sign up. Even some students from Tsinghua Academy came to say that they would give up the opportunity to go abroad and stay in our Academy of Sciences to do research."

Cheng Nuo was surprised: "Is the signboard of our Academy of Sciences so loud? It's too exaggerated to give up the opportunity to go to the United States."

Guo Shouchun's nose twitched slightly, and he glanced at Cheng Nuo: "How long has it been since you came back to Beijing? Now our "National" journal is very popular in universities and colleges. Fortunately, this is only the enrollment of our agricultural college. If other colleges do it at the same time, I reckon the door of our house has to be broken down."

Cheng Nuo was also taken aback when he heard the news, but considering that their "National" magazine focuses on popular science, it is the only journal of this type in China. In addition, it cooperates with "New Youth" from time to time, so its influence and increasing day by day.

Thinking of the future development, Cheng Nuo pondered silently: "In the future, if there is an opportunity, we still have to build a specialized scientific research institution, and continue to improve the road of production, education and research..."

Before Cheng Nuo could think about it further, Guo Shouchun suddenly thought of something, took out a stack of papers from the cloth bag he was carrying, and placed it solemnly in front of him.

"I almost forgot. This is the magazine that Mr. Chen Zhongpu specially entrusted me to hand over to you before I left. I was just drinking tea and almost forgot about it."

"This is..." After receiving the article, Cheng Nuo rolled his eyes and said hesitantly, "Are they all the previous issues of "New Youth"?"

"I can't stop reading." Guo Shouchun turned his head around, frowned and said, "I remember that there is a new book by Mr. Yucai, who said he drew inspiration from you, and specifically asked me to bring it over for you to read. If you are not busy, you must make a preface."

"Do you believe me so much?" Cheng Nuo said to himself, but when he found the book, he was shocked: ""Diary of a Madman"! It's this book?"

Guo Shouchun's attention was attracted by this shout, he turned his neck and asked curiously: "Have you read this book? I remember that this book has not been published yet, and it is only a manuscript at the moment. But it is also true, your relationship with Mr. Yucai Well then, it's not out of the question to show it before it's bound."

Cheng Nuo quickly denied it: "No, no, no, I just heard from brother Yucai, but I didn't expect him to be so efficient and write a book in such a short time."

Guo Shouchun smiled and said: "This is not very good. It is better than booksellers chasing after you every day. After all, besides magazines, there are many other articles in it. I guess you will be able to read them in the next time."

Sure enough, there is Mr. Li Dazhao's "Journal" article, the article believes that "we are alive, we should not tire of 'now' and only think about the 'past', dream of the 'future', in order to waste the efforts of the 'now'."

There is also Qian Xuantong's article "The Problem of Chinese Writing in the Future", which emphasizes that "If you want to keep China alive and make the Chinese nation a civilized nation in the [-]th century, you must abolish Confucianism."

What’s more, Hu Shi’s "On the Literary Revolution of Construction" proposed the purpose of ten characters, that is, "literature in the national language, and the national language in literature", expressing that he wanted to create a literature in the national language for China.

Other articles seem to be fine, but when I read this article by Hu Shi, I always feel something weird.

After reading it several times, I finally noticed something was wrong.

It turned out that Dr. Hu believed in the last paragraph that the shortcoming of Chinese literature lies in the lack of materials, and where do the materials come from? Other than that, there is no other material.

Seeing this, Cheng Nuo just wanted to laugh. Isn't this justifying himself for visiting brothels?

When asked where he went, he said bluntly.

But in fact, she lingered in the pomegranate skirt, coveting rouge and heavy makeup.

Cheng Nuo, who had known Hu Shi's temperament earlier, was fine, but Guo Shouchun, who was standing beside him, was furious and shouted angrily, "This is the professor of Peking University, a great talent nowadays, but just a wimp lying on a woman's belly all day long, that's all. I am ashamed to be with this man!"

Cheng Nuo smiled wryly and shook his head: "The social atmosphere is like this, and he is just following the crowd. We just have to be ourselves."

In order to dispel Guo Shouchun's anger, Cheng Nuo flipped through the stack of articles, found two of them and introduced them seriously: "It's still Brother Deqian's (Qian Xuantong) article, this article is called "Repercussions of the Literary Revolution" wrote 'Youth, if you still want to be a human being in the twentieth century,

You still want China to be considered a country in the [-]th century, so muster up your courage and perseverance to wipe out this most barbaric cult and this group of monsters who play tricks and talk nonsense'. "

Feeling that it wasn't enough, Cheng Nuo picked out the most classic passage from Brother Xun's "Diary of a Madman" and recited it aloud: "You have to study everything before you can understand it. I have always eaten people since ancient times. I still remember, but not very clearly.

I opened up the history and checked it. There is no age in this history, and the words "benevolence, righteousness and morality" are written crookedly on every page... With 4000 years of cannibalism, I didn't know it at the time, but now I understand it. Meet real people! "

After reading this passage, even the distraught Guo Shouchun felt a surge of emotion, took the book away from Cheng Nuo's hand, and began to recite it by himself.

When I read the excitement, I was sweating profusely.

"Zhiyuan, this book is really well written, every word is powerful, can you let me borrow it and read it for two days?"

Cheng Nuo raised his eyebrows: "Of course, but the manuscript is precious, so don't damage it."

Guo Shouchun grinned and said, "It's natural. It's too late to cherish a good book, and I can't do anything to deface it."

After saying this, Guo Shouchun quickly left with his schoolbag in his arms. It looked like he might not read it three times all night, and his heart was overwhelming.

Cheng Nuo on the side was thinking in his heart that he must send a telegram to Brother Xun to urge him to change more. A mere "Diary of a Madman" can't satisfy his appetite, so he has to write another novel anyway. It's enjoyable to read that way.

Just at this moment, a head popped up outside the door.

It was none other than Jiang Jiangzuo.

"Shouchun left?"

"Just left, why, do you have something to do with him?"

"That's not true. It's just that I haven't seen him for a long time. I miss my old classmate. I want to get together with him."

"How about I call him over again, and I leave this room to make room for you to catch up on the old days?"

"Farewell, because of his urinating nature, he must get me drunk. We still need to get down to business. Anyway, he has also come to Sichuan. There will be opportunities to meet in the future."

With that said, Jiang Jiangzuo put a telegram in front of Cheng Nuo, and introduced: "The All-China Federation of Chambers of Commerce is going to hold its third conference in Tianjin, and we are invited to attend the conference and participate in the selection of a new manager."

"What else?" After receiving the telegram, Cheng Nuo looked at it and said, "Why haven't I heard of such a conference before, why did you come to us for no apparent reason?"

Jiang Jiangzuo replied: "Actually, it's not the first time we've been invited to a meeting. We've been invited before."

Cheng Nuo asked puzzled, "Why didn't you tell me before that?"

Jiang Jiangzuo sighed: "During that time, you ate and drank in the laboratory, and you couldn't see anyone. There is no chance to inform you. Besides, the scale of our college's subordinate factory is not small. The Chamber of Commerce didn't issue a formal invitation letter. It's a bit ridiculous. It means that people are inferior, so there is no need to join in the fun."

Cheng Nuo nodded: "That's true, but this time they have officially sent a letter, do you think we should be invited?"

Jiang Jiangzuo thought for a moment, and said decisively: "If I say, we'd better not go to this muddy water."

Cheng Nuo asked curiously: "Why don't we go? We can't do all the supporting industries in the future, can we? Make the industrial chain bigger and longer. If we eat meat, everyone can still have soup. Isn't it good? ?"

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Jiangzuo said in a low voice: "As far as I know, the purpose of this meeting is not simple. It is said that it is a decision to select representatives to hold the meeting, request the Beijing government to settle the peace and cease the war, and protest the public's signing of the "Sino-Japanese Joint Defense Against the Enemy Army." Military Agreement."

Swallowing, Jiang Jiangzuo approached and said: "They have taken a fancy to your social influence and are going to elect you as one of the representatives. It's usually fine, but right now Beijing has just borrowed 2000 million yen from Japan. What do you say?" How could those politicians in the public office easily abolish the agreement?"

The main contents of the so-called agreement are:
(1) China and Japan take the action of "joint defense against the enemy";

(2) Japanese troops may be stationed in China during the war;

(3) When the Japanese army is fighting outside China, China should send troops to support it;
(4) During the war, the two countries will supply each other with arms and supplies.

These regulations mean that Japan can arbitrarily enter China's territorial waters and occupy various Chinese facilities under the pretext of defending against the enemy, while the Chinese authorities must cooperate with the Japanese army and provide all convenient conditions.

The content of the agreement was disclosed, and the whole country was in an uproar.

Students studying in Japan marched in Tokyo to oppose the "Sino-Japanese Joint Defense Against the Enemy Military Agreement" and demanded the return of Qingdao. More than 100 students were arrested by the Japanese police, and more than 1000 students went on strike and returned to China.

Domestic students are also not to be outdone. In Beijing alone, more than 2000 people gathered at the presidential palace to petition for the abolition of the Sino-Japanese military agreement.

One student even cut off his left middle finger on the spot, and wrote in blood, "The day the case is canceled will be the day we survive."

Faced with such a huge public opinion, President Feng Guozhang also had to meet with student representatives and speak out to appease them.

But in fact, it just doesn't solve the problem.

The domestic modernization movement is in full swing, and Cheng Nuo's chemical industry is about to become bigger and stronger.

Everything is going in a good direction.

But it happened so suddenly.

Cheng Nuo was so angry that he scolded the street directly: "I'm doing business here, and the public behind me is holding me back, what a bunch of idiots!

It's not good to cooperate with anyone, but I'm looking for a small Japan, let's not talk about the back, just talk about the present.

Maozi has already said that as long as the British and Japanese raid the port, he will not fight anyone, but the devils. It's good for you, and now you are rushing to give away your head! "
