1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 187 Teacher Gu, your son-in-law is too bold (Request full order)
Mr. Tang and Xie Daoyuan, who also followed in, were shocked by the huge crowds of people in the auditorium and frowned.

When I squeezed to the front and saw Cheng Xuemin writing the words "Reform and Opening-up" on the blackboard, my brows furrowed even more.

"Mr. Tang, this topic of Xuemin is...not easy to talk about?!" Director Xie shook his head secretly and said to Mr. Tang beside him.

"Oh, it was you, Xie Daoyuan, who tried so hard to hire him, so if he gets into any trouble, you will have to clean up the mess!"

Mr. Tang said something very unkind to Director Xie.

"Tang, weren't you the first one to discover this talent? It was you who said that such a talent should stay in our Yanda University, and that you said that several people from other schools came to contact us, but you drove them away?"

The library director Xie Daoyuan was also dissatisfied. Weren't the revelations about The Horse Shepherd author Lao Xu and others all exposed by this guy, Tang Laogao, who was hiding in the mail room outside the security guard room and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?
Moreover, it was Mr. Tang who told him that the talents were in his territory, the library, and asked him to keep them, otherwise they would be poached away by other schools.

The people from other schools were already taking action, but it was Mr. Tang who personally stepped forward to hold them back!

And urged him to take action quickly!
That's why Director Xie extended an olive branch to Cheng Xuemin for the first time, but was rejected!

Later, he felt that the efforts were not enough, and he heard that even Hua Qing could not sit still and was about to take action, so he increased the intensity and directly advised Lao Zhou to make a special appointment.

At that time, it was he and Mr. Tang who met Principal Zhou together.

But what's going on now?
Seeing that this kid was about to get into trouble, he put all the blame on Xie Daoyuan alone?
"No, no, no! Old man, I was just thinking, can you suggest the school to recruit someone specially!"

"But how would I know that you could directly make a decision with Lao Zhou and hire him as a teacher?"

"If you hadn't hired him as a teacher, how could he be so ignorant and act like this today?"

Mr. Tang continued to pass the buck, his eyes narrowed into a line as he smiled.

"Right, right, right! Blame it on me, blame it on me, blame it on me, it's all my fault, okay?"

"How about I go up and pull down this good disciple of yours?"

Xie Daoyuan rolled his eyes. He really didn’t want to say any more to this old guy. He thought he might as well just rush up and pull the man down first.

"Well, some people can't sit still anymore!"

Mr. Tang pointed at the podium again, his eyelids continued to narrow into a line, and said with a smile.

"Old Yang, he only realized now to go up and pull people out, what were you doing before!?"

"His people, what class is being taught today, doesn't he have any idea?"

Xie Daoyuan saw that Lao Yang from the Chinese Department had already rushed up. It was obvious that he couldn't sit still and wanted to pull people down. He couldn't help but complain.

Director Yang behind the scenes was extremely anxious. He could no longer sit still and rushed forward to pull the man down and give him a good lecture in front of everyone.

You can speak casually, but not too casually.

At least we really can’t talk about this reform, okay? ?

"Students..."

But when Director Yang came over, he was about to tactfully ask Cheng Xuemin to step off the stage and communicate with him behind the scenes.

But he quickly stopped the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Because on the big blackboard, Cheng Xuemin quickly wrote the two words "reform and opening up" and then typed a long wavy mark behind it.

After the wavy line, there was a "大" character, followed by a "秦" character, and then a "之" character...

There was no need for Director Yang to mutter word by word, the students in the audience had already started reading out the words!
"Reform and Opening--The Split of the Qin Dynasty!"

This... is this about Qin Shi Huang? !
In an instant, Director Yang's expression became strange, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Then, when Mr. Feng in the audience saw this topic, he first breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became confused.

Is this son-in-law going to talk about Qin Shi Huang today?
The tyrant Qin Shi Huang?
This is also difficult to explain, and it is also related to reform and opening up. What exactly does he want to say?
In an instant, Father Feng's heart, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, began to worry again. He was really afraid that his son-in-law would say something even more outrageous than "reform and opening up."

"Teacher Gu, Xuemin he he he... is he going to talk about the tyrant Qin Shi Huang?"

Liu Xinwu was also surprised. He didn't expect that Teacher Gu's son-in-law on the stage would have such a big turn with them.

Let’s not talk about the current hot topics of reform and opening up, but talk about Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty! ?

And it’s also Daqin!
How can a tyrannical Qin emperor who died in the second generation claim to be the Great Qin?
What on earth was Teacher Gu's son-in-law thinking? He even dared to whitewash the tyrant Qin Shi Huang?!

"Old Liu, I don't know what he is going to say!" Mother-in-law Feng was also dumbfounded!

I really can't figure out why my son-in-law suddenly thought of talking about the tyrannical Qin Dynasty and the great tyrant Qin Shi Huang.

"Mr. Tang, is he trying to whitewash Qin Shi Huang?"

The library director Xie Daoyuan was also extremely surprised, and then asked Mr. Tang next to him in confusion.

Reform and opening up - the split of the Qin Dynasty!

Director Xie also couldn't figure out how these two titles could be connected. What should the disciple of Mr. Tang on the stage say and how should he judge the eternal tyrant Qin Shihuang?
Could it be that they are trying to whitewash Qin Shi Huang? !
Or maybe using Qin Shi Huang as a metaphor for something?
Soon, Director Yang on the stage helped them and answered their questions.

"Director Yang, what did you want to say just now?"

After Cheng Xuemin wrote a few big words, he turned around and asked Director Yang next to him.

"Xuemin, you want to talk about the tyrannical Qin Dynasty?! You want to talk about the eternal tyrant Qin Shihuang?" Director Yang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked in a low voice, forgetting the occasion.

But because Cheng Xuemin did not turn off the microphone in his hand, both Cheng Xuemin's questions and Director Yang's answers and questions were transmitted through the microphone!

Then the sound spread throughout the entire auditorium through the loudspeaker, and it instantly quieted the noisy auditorium.

Because just now when Cheng Xuemin wrote the two big words "Reform and Opening Up", the students below began to discuss it heatedly. After Cheng Xuemin wrote out the entire topic, all the students below had the same doubts as Director Yang and others!
Everyone is wondering if Xu and Qiao on the stage are changing their tune and starting to pioneer. Are they going to use this open class today to whitewash the tyrannical Qin Shi Huang, the eternal tyrant?
When Director Yang on the stage asked the same question, the students who were waiting for the answer suddenly shut up and the entire auditorium fell silent.

"Tyrannical Qin?! The eternal tyrant Qin Shi Huang?!"

Cheng Xuemin was completely confused and had no idea why Director Yang said that.

"Xuemin, don't you know that Qin Shihuang's reputation in our education, culture and history circles has always been not very good?!"

"It was the tyranny of Qin II that led to his demise!" Director Yang reminded in a low voice.

It is indeed as Director Yang said, in this era, most of the comments about Qin Shihuang and the Qin Dynasty are derogatory.

They are basically the tyrannical Qin, the eternal tyrant.

So for such a large open class, why did Cheng Xuemin choose the tyrannical Qin Dynasty? That's totally unpopular!

"That's not the case. I'm not talking about Qin Shi Huang!"

Cheng Xuemin shook his head and denied it with a double meaning. First of all, he wanted to say that he was not talking about Qin Shihuang's Qin Dynasty. Secondly, he also did not agree with the reputation that Qin Shihuang was a tyrant throughout the ages.

The great achievements of Qin Shi Huang...

never mind!

Cheng Xuemin first talked about the split of the Qin Dynasty, then the Qin Dynasty's dominance, and finally the rise of the Qin Dynasty. He described how the Qin Dynasty, with its remaining power for six generations, swept away the six kingdoms and unified China, with the same track, writing, customs, geography, measurements, and currency, creating the great achievements of China's unification for more than 2,000 years.

By then, perhaps there would be no need for Cheng Xuemin to whitewash Qin Shihuang's mediocrity, as everyone's opinion of the "tyrannical Qin emperor" would surely change.

But now, Cheng Xuemin is going to talk about the first part of the Qin Trilogy, Change!

It talks about how King Xiaogong of Qin used Shang Yang to carry out reforms in order to strengthen the country and march eastward through Hangu Pass, in order to achieve Cheng Xuemin's purpose of using the past to illustrate the present.

Again!
Cheng Xuemin is a pioneer of reform and opening up, and he was appointed to write the title. What else can he talk about if not reform and opening up?

But you can’t force it!
Cheng Xuemin is not stupid. As soon as "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office" was published, it was criticized so much. If it were not for his mother-in-law who organized a united front to fight back and amplified the momentum, and had not had an inscription to support it, the criticism would have stopped!
But Cheng Xuemin also knew that it was not that there were really no more, but that people were lying dormant, all watching for his next move or next article as a pioneer.

So after having been well behaved once, how could Cheng Xuemin not learn his lesson?
Besides, the father-in-law also reminded himself that the political capital he earned this time was already huge enough to last him a lifetime.

Next, you need to know how to restrain your edge, calm down and digest things in school, and never try to be in the limelight again.

So Cheng Xuemin never thought of insisting on it.

But we can't help but talk about it. If you really stay dormant on campus, silently, in two years, when a new trend emerges, who will still remember who you are?

In this way, Cheng Xuemin learned a method to draw lessons from the past and use history as a mirror.

It also has to do with the current situation and reform and opening up, so it can only be reform and change.

Looking back at China's 5,000-year history, there are countless people who have reformed and strengthened the country. There are many that Cheng Xuemin can name off the top of his head.

But whether it was the Reform Movement of 1898, Zhang Juzheng's Single Whip Reform, or Wang Anshi's Reform and Guan Zhong's Reform, what left the deepest impression on Cheng Xuemin was Zhang Juzheng's Single Whip Reform in the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the film and television drama "The Ming Dynasty 1566", which is quite influential, Cheng Xuemin was also deeply impressed.

However, the only drawback is that most of the plot of this influential work is about conspiracy and intrigue, and a power struggle, but it lacks reform and innovation, which is hard to tell!
But except for the Ming Dynasty, the reforms in other dynasties were somewhat lacking.

Most of them ended in failure, even Zhang Juzheng's whip.

So since we have decided to use the past to illustrate present times and to respond to the spirit of reform and opening up, we must definitely choose a successful precedent to praise.

Cheng Xuemin knows that the truly influential and brilliantly successful program is probably The Splitting of the Qin Empire, which tells the story of Qin Xiaogong's heavy use of Shang Yang's reforms, and CCTV's "The Rise of Great Powers".

After weighing the two options, Cheng Xuemin chose the former, The Great Qin Fission, but did not dare to appear in "The Rise of Great Powers".

There is no other reason. He just cannot talk about current political affairs, and he dare not talk about it.

If you really want to talk about "The Rise of Great Powers", you might as well just talk about it directly. In fact, there is not much difference between it and talking about it directly.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Cheng Xuemin finally decided on "The Splitting of the Qin Empire" as the topic of his first open class.

I also plan to finish telling the remaining two parts together when I have the chance in the future.

Anyway, let's just test the waters now to see what kind of response the story of the collapse of the Qin Empire can produce!
"It's not just about Qin Shi Huang!" Director Yang nodded again and again after hearing this, and then asked in confusion, "Then what are you talking about, Xuemin?"

This time Cheng Xuemin did not grumble to Director Yang, but turned around and said to the students below:
"Everyone should know that I am from northern Shaanxi! When I went back to my hometown in northern Shaanxi for the New Year this year, many of my fellow villagers knew that I was writing in Yanjing. They called me a great writer!"

"Everyone wants me, a great writer from northern Shaanxi, to write more about the local conditions and customs of northern Shaanxi, so that more readers across the country can know about northern Shaanxi!"

"I certainly agreed, but it's easier said than done!"

"It just so happened that when I returned to Beijing this time, I passed by Yanhe Literature in our provincial capital, visited the old capital, and also went to the foot of Mount Li. At that time, I felt something in my heart and knew what to write!"

"We in northern Shaanxi and Shaanxi were originally the Qin people in ancient times! The brave Qin people, with the remaining strength of six generations, swept away the six kingdoms and unified China, laying the foundation for the great unification of China for more than 2,000 years. I thought it was worth writing about!"

"So I sorted it out and thought about bringing it to class to talk about it and see the students' feedback!"

"If the students think that my speech is good, then I will continue to write it and publish it! If the students think that my speech is not good, then I will stop here and put it aside for a while and then refine it!"

"I was originally planning to talk to some students in our Chinese department first, but I didn't expect so many students to come today!"

"Then I will tell you about it, and you can listen to me. Don't laugh at me if I tell you a good story!"

Cheng Xuemin's opening remarks again aroused thunderous applause from the students. Obviously, they also wanted to hear what Cheng Xuemin was going to say about the fission of the Qin Dynasty.
It is not about the death of the tyrant Qin Shi Huang II, but the split of the Qin Dynasty and the rise of various princes.

So this fission is not that fission? Isn't it about the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty II that led to its demise?

Then Cheng Xuemin knocked on the blackboard, pointed at a few big words on it, and said:
"The Split of the Qin State. What I want to talk about today is not the Great Qin State that was destroyed in the second generation after the unification, but the split of the Qin State during the Warring States Period when many heroes emerged and Qin Xiaogong used Shang Yang to reform the country in order to strengthen the country and move eastward through Hangu Pass!"

Reform means opening up to the outside world. Cheng Xuemin talked about Shang Yang's Reform in Qin State. He talked about the fierce struggle between the faction seeking change and innovation headed by Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang, and the conservative forces headed by the old aristocrat Gan Long. In the end, they succeeded in reforming by overcoming numerous difficulties and achieved the great goal of becoming bigger and stronger and moving east through Hangu Pass.

In fact, how similar is it to the difficulties faced by the current reform and opening up?

He just sees through it but doesn't say it out loud. Cheng Xuemin uses the past to illustrate the present, but he just doesn't point out the most profound meaning.

"Teacher Gu, your son-in-law is still very courageous!"

After listening for a while, how could Liu Xinwu not understand what Cheng Xuemin on the stage was talking about?
Fortunately, this kid knows how to adapt and use historical examples to illustrate present events, but he is still very courageous!
