Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 512 Macroeconomics Course Begins! Bao Guowei, the Empire's Great Trouble?
"Master, is it risky to tell the Fengtian warlord about penicillin?

And what weapons and ammunition you have prepared, are they all going to be given to this kid?"

When leaving the Marshal's Mansion, Cao Yanhai drove with one hand while looking in the rearview mirror and saw Bao Guowei with a serious face.

In Cao Yanhai's heart, Bao Guowei's attitude towards Zhang Xueliang was not too bad, but too good.

My master had advised him again and again, but the other party didn't listen at all. If it was someone else, the master would have cursed him a long time ago, right?

Why was he so tolerant towards Zhang Xueliang, even thinking of giving him penicillin and some weapon blueprints?
When Cao Yanhai was conceiving those weapon drawings, he was astonished. He had also touched many guns. Although Cao Yanhai could not understand those sophisticated structures, he understood their significance.

Bao Guowei took out a glass bottle of penicillin and shook it in front of him.

"Of course I can't give this thing to Zhang Xueliang. Not only is the production insufficient, but he may not be able to keep the secret. In the end, all of it will become the property of Chiang Kai-shek and the Japanese."

"Then why, Master?" Cao Yanhai still didn't quite understand.

He even had an idea in his mind that his master was not short of money, he had money, countless fans and fame, so even the international community had to give his master some face.

Can such a person only be an ordinary scholar?

So what about the Fengtian warlords? They can replace them!
But the master didn't have this idea, and Cao Yanhai didn't want to mention it.

Bao Guowei didn't know about his apprentice's many little thoughts, he just sighed and said.

"Zhang Xueliang is a patriotic man who can understand the situation. Zhang Zuolin chose him as his successor, so he must not be a good-for-nothing.

But he was born into a warlord family and had been living a life of luxury since childhood. It was inevitable that he had some of the habits of a playboy and had a weak side in his heart.

If I don't show him some cards, how can he really try his best to defend the Northeast?
Besides, I didn't say that we manufactured it, I just said that it was being developed in Europe and I have the relevant channels.

Zhang Xueliang would never believe that we can produce such a drug, right? "

Cao Yanhai continued to ask, "What about the weapon blueprints? In my opinion, if you give these blueprints to the United States and Britain, they will worship you as a Buddha. Look at this guy now, he is not happy about it."

"Let outsiders make weapons to fight us?" Bao Guowei laughed. "The Soviet area is not strong enough now, and Zhang Xueliang controls the Shengjing Arsenal, the largest arsenal in the country. If we don't give it to Zhang Xueliang, will we give it to Chiang Kai-shek?
Rather than letting it rot in the study, it is better to take it out and save the country from the death of some soldiers. "

He continued to add.

"Besides, I only showed Zhang Xueliang the concept, and it is impossible for me to really hand over the blueprint to him. Now the Shengjing Arsenal is still in danger.

I have already told him that if the arsenal can be moved to North China, I will consider providing him with some drawings. "

Bao Guowei also understands weapons and equipment?
At first, Zhang Xueliang naturally didn't believe it, but when Bao Guowei took out one conceptual drawing after another, he had to believe it.

Even expressed great enthusiasm.

"Bingwen is a man of great talent and strategy, and can be called the contemporary Kong Ming. If you hand over all these drawings to me, I will make you an officer, and it is not impossible for you to command a division!"

Zhang Xueliang naturally understood the significance of these drawings and the "magic medicine" that Bao Guowei mentioned.

But Bao Guowei did not agree, but continued to pull out a drawing and reminded.

"This is the conscienceless cannon. This thing can greatly satisfy the lack of firepower. For foreigners, the simple conscienceless cannon is useless, but for us it is no less than a magic weapon. Other drawings are useless now, but this one can be promoted more."

After hearing these words, Cao Yanhai sighed: "Master, you are so concerned about the country and the people, but other people don't buy it?"

With a twitch of his lips, Bao Guowei continued, "No one needs to buy my story. As long as I have a clear conscience, that's all."

In fact, before giving Zhang Xueliang the unscrupulous cannon, Bao Guowei had already handed over the blueprint to the Soviet area through the relationship between Wei Junming, Xu Kun, and the mediation of Mr. Zhu Kezhen.

Bao Guowei’s ties with the Soviet area are now very close.

The penicillin developed was also sent to the Soviet areas first.

Bao Guowei only has a simple hope in his heart.

Before the final victory comes, we can preserve more heroes and see the moment when the country prospers!
After leaving the Marshal's Mansion, Cao Yanhai drove straight to the Red Building of Peking University.

Bao Guowei adjusted himself in the car, then went upstairs and headed towards the classroom.

This is the largest classroom on the fourth floor of Peking University’s Red Building. The trapezoidal classroom can accommodate about a hundred students.

But today, the classroom was full of students, and only some respected professors and scholars had the opportunity to sit in the front.

According to a rough estimate, there are already more than two hundred people.

This was when Peking University restricted the entry and exit of people. The school originally wanted to open it, but the number of people who wanted to make reservations was too enthusiastic.

In desperation, they had to restrict entry to students and scholars, and other members of the public, such as journalists, were not allowed to enter.

The time was just after ten o'clock.

The original plan was for 10 o'clock, but Bao Guowei told Chiang Menglin that it would be postponed to 10:30, and now the place is already full of people.

Bao Guowei was late and felt a little embarrassed.

However, as soon as he entered the classroom, he was greeted with waves of cheers.

Bao Guowei walked up to the podium and looked with a complicated expression at the excited and energetic Peking University students below the stage.

Take a deep breath.

Bao Guowei placed the already bound copy of Macroeconomics on the table, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the huge book.

Because everyone understands that this may be the first professional economics book in Chinese history that is ahead of the world!

Just as he was about to speak, Bao Guowei felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw that it was the principal, Jiang Menglin, who was staring at him closely.

There was three parts of severity and three parts of pleading in that look.

Bao Guowei had no choice but to speak straight to the point.

"Students, today we will not talk about politics or national affairs, but only about the economy!"

He turned around and wrote a few bold and powerful words on the blackboard.

"Macroeconomics"

The teachers and students who had originally expected Bao Guowei to be an "opinion leader" again were actually a little disappointed for a moment.

However, there are still many people who agree with Bao Guowei's approach.

When it comes to purely professional areas, we can put politics aside and focus on discussing the profession.

"The so-called macroeconomics is nothing more than the study of the overall operation of the entire economic system. It is different from classical political economics, which focuses on how individual producers can improve production efficiency and obtain more benefits through division of labor and capital accumulation; it is also different from Adam Smith who mainly relies on individual factory examples to illustrate the truth. Macroeconomics uses econometric models and complex mathematical formulas to discuss the rise and fall of a country's economy with multi-faceted influences and more diversified research methods."

This definition of macroeconomics can be said to be a foreshadowing.

Next, Bao Guowei analyzed the plight of the Great Depression from the perspective of macroeconomics, and then analyzed the concept of effective demand theory from the perspective of demand.

“When both consumption demand and investment demand are insufficient, effective demand will be lower than total social supply.”

The teachers and students in the audience were fascinated by the performance.

Bao Guowei's teaching style is different from other professors. He prefers popularization and uses the simplest language to explain the most profound truths.

Even without using the current economy of the Republic of China as an example, Bao Guowei also mentioned the examples of Britain and the United States.

"The 'invisible hand' has failed and cannot automatically adjust the economic balance. State intervention is necessary, but it should also be cautious. We must know that state intervention is not to replace the market mechanism, nor is it to force growth or drain the pond to catch fish." These remarks inevitably made many teachers and students think of the government's current operations in the south.

“Through fiscal and monetary policies, the government regulates the economy, increases government spending, builds infrastructure, and builds public works.”

Then to the multiplier theory and the future development of economics, etc.

Bao Guowei crammed a lot of things into the one-hour course, and it was not very complete.

But it also opened a smooth road to economics for Peking University students!

Chen Daisun, who was a professor of economics at Tsinghua University at the time, naturally could not miss the class. He sat next to the president Jiang Menglin and looked at Bao Guowei with his sharp eyes.

"Mr. Daisun, what do you think of Bingwen's definition of macroeconomics?" Jiang Menglin was not an economics major, so he wanted to ask Chen Daisun's opinion.

Even though he knew about Bao Guowei's recent controversy, Chen Daisun said excitedly without hesitation: "It is undoubtedly a pioneering work in domestic economics! I often read the theories of many Western economists, such as Keynes and other outstanding economists, but none of them have Bao Bingwen's profound understanding of macroeconomics."

He knew what the president was thinking, and said very seriously: "Brother Zhaoxian, it is not that Bao Bingwen needs Peking University to prove himself, but Peking University needs an outstanding scholar like Bao Bingwen to prove its status as an institution of higher learning."

Jiang Menglin sighed: "How could I not know that?"

Bao Guowei's previous remarks aroused dissatisfaction from many factions in the country. Chiang Menglin was originally requested by Chang Kai to clean up the mess at Peking University.

Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything, but many important figures under his command called Chiang Menglin.

He told Chiang Menglin, both openly and secretly, that he wanted to expel Bao Guowei, the "scourge", from Peking University.

But when Chiang Menglin looked at the students, they were all impressed by Bao Guowei's solid level of economics.

Bringing advanced economic theories to Peking University, Peking University has Bao Guowei, which is like having a golden signboard!
Jiang Menglin gritted his teeth and decided to ignore all the rumors and threats!
If you want to take action against Bao Guowei, you must first take away my position as president, Jiang Menglin!

This macroeconomics course was undoubtedly extremely successful.

Finally, Bao Guowei publicly announced that a course entitled "Macroeconomics" would be offered at Peking University in the future, and all Peking University students could take it as an elective.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

"Clap clap clap!"

Warm applause came from the audience, and many Peking University students had anticipation on their faces.

However, some Tsinghua students who came to attend the class felt uncomfortable.

Ji Xianlin, who was sitting in the back row, cursed: "Damn Luo Zhixi, he actually let Mr. Bingwen be snatched away by Peking University. Do we Tsinghua people have to come to Peking University every day to listen to Mr. Bingwen's lectures?"

Zheng Zhenduo is now a professor at Tsinghua University. He is a sincere person, and he and Ji Xianlin became close friends regardless of age difference. The two of them made an appointment to come to Peking University to attend lectures.

He smiled and said, "You, you, whenever you are unhappy you always blame Principal Luo. Did Principal Luo provoke you? Tsinghua University and Peking University are so close. If you go around more often in the future, you will always hear Bingwen's lectures."

"No, no, a figure like Mr. Bingwen should come to Tsinghua University." Ji Xianlin said with a sneer.

Other Tsinghua students, like Ji Xianlin, have strong opinions about the president of Tsinghua University.

According to them, why didn't you, Luo Zhixi, dare to fight with Jiang Menglin and snatch Bao Bingwen away?

Tsinghua has always been ahead of Peking University, but now Peking University has caught up. How can people feel good?

In the classroom, there would occasionally be debates between students from Peking University and Tsinghua University, all of which were simply about who was the highest institution of learning in China.

However, the dispute was settled after Bao Guowei announced his resignation.

Peking University and Tsinghua University have been quarreling for a long time, but they haven't reached the point of fighting.

Overall, this course went smoothly.

In this era, Peking University students can be indignant when facing national issues, but when facing academic issues, they can also calm down and think, except for Tsinghua University students.

Bao Guowei does not need to talk about patriotism anymore, because most of them are studying for the country.

The knowledge and thinking that Bao Guowei gave them will eventually bear fruit and have a positive impact on the land they love.

Northeast, Shengjing.

The mechanical Japanese military report echoed in the office. Kenji Doihara sat upright in the chair, listening quietly to the contents of the military report.

"Recently, I observed in Jinzhou that the enemy's army showed unusual trends. The defenders in Shengjing significantly strengthened the construction of city defense fortifications.
There was movement in the direction of the arsenal, and there was an endless stream of baggage vehicles along the way.
All signs indicate that the enemy may have sensed our strategic intentions and is preparing to respond in advance."

Doihara's eyes were filled with resentment like a hungry wild dog, and he stared at Sawada, who was reading the intelligence, so hard that he trembled all over.

The expected outbreak did not occur.

Doihara changed his posture and spoke to Sawada.

"Isn't there another copy? Keep reading."

Sawada was silent, but he still continued reading.

"Recently, the anti-Japanese wave has surged, the situation has heated up dramatically, and the empire's interests and layout in the region have been greatly impacted.
Especially in major cities such as Shanghai, large-scale demonstrations broke out in the streets and alleys, holding up slogans such as "Boycott Japanese goods" and "Expel the Japanese pirates"
The media controlled by the empire were also severely affected. Many newspapers and magazines were closed down. The Shenbao and Ta Kung Pao were instructed to publish comments that were unfavorable to our empire.
According to reliable sources, the rise of anti-Japanese sentiment in China is most likely caused by a Chinese writer named Bao Bingwen. Over the past year, this person has had a great impact on the Empire's plans. I hope all intelligence departments will be aware of this and immediately step up measures to deal with this person. "

The sound in the office was so deafening that one could hear a pin drop. Sawada could already see that the fat on Doihara's face was twisted together.

The sweat on his forehead made him look like a rotten pig's head in a braised meat shop.

Horrible and funny.

"Baga! This Bao Bingwen!"

Doihara let out an angry roar, drew the short knife from his waist, and slashed it hard on the solid wooden desk.

But I don’t know if it was because he didn’t have enough strength or the solid wooden desk was too hard, the dagger bounced to the ground with a clang.

This scene made Doihara's anger seem a little funny.

Sawada quickly lowered his head, trying hard to suppress his expression.

"Pick up the dagger for me."

Sawada groaned in his heart, but still agreed. He picked up the short sword tremblingly, held it high, and held it in front of Doihara.

When Doihara picked up the dagger, Sawada trembled a little, and when the cold back of the knife scratched his face, he almost peed his pants with fright.

With a thud, Sawada immediately knelt down.

"Lord Doihara! This is none of my business! I have tried my best! It's really that Bao Bingwen."

Before he could finish his words, he felt the knife on his face unexpectedly retracted.

It seems that Doihara let him go?
But Doihara sighed and said suddenly.

"We'll talk about your matter later. I have a question now. Is Shi Yousan useful?"

Shi Yousan?
Zetian quickly replied, "My Lord, you want to use this person? This person has never had any backbone and has betrayed many times. After Shi Yousan defected to Zhang Xueliang, he did not have much loyalty. He only needs to give some benefits and he can be used by the empire!"

Historically, Shi Yousan defected to Zhang Xueliang during the Spring Festival of 1931, but in July of that year, he rebelled, and was truly worthy of the title of "Defection General".
