240 [Current Situation of the Ministry of Education]

After the ban on "The Goddess" and "Dog Official" was lifted, Zhou Hexuan finally set off for Nanjing, and did not continue to talk nonsense with Chen Dezheng. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this matter is not clear at all, and everyone, including the mayor of Shanghai and the director of the Shanghai Party Department, is on Chen Dezheng's side.

What if Zhou Hexuan and Chang Kaishen know each other?

Zhang Qun, the mayor of Shanghai, is still Chang Kaishen's classmate, and he is still the head of the "Department of Administration" under Chang Kaishen.

They are essentially helping Chang Kaishen do things, and sealing the book is also for the interests of the Kuomintang, and when they get to Chang Kaishen, Zhou Hexuan can't get any benefits.

Hu Shi also has a close personal relationship with Chang Kaishen and his wife, and he will still be scared by Chen Dezheng to hide abroad next year.

It is already very rare to be able to lift the ban on your own novels.

At the end of July, Zhou Hexuan arrived in Nanjing, the capital of China at this time.

The Graduate School (Ministry of Education) held its first national education conference two months ago, when the Northern Expeditionary Army had not yet conquered Beiping and Tianjin. At that meeting, many major initiatives in the history of Chinese education were adopted.

For example, the primary school is divided into six years, the middle school is divided into three years for high school and junior high school, and the school is divided into three systems: middle school, teacher training and vocational.

Why is it meeting now that the National Education Conference was held two months ago?

When Zhou Hexuan came to Nanjing, he found out that this meeting was dedicated to discussing education in the north, and Professor Li Shuhua of Peking University and others were also invited to attend.

As for the current acting president of Peking University, Zhong Guanguan, he was directly ignored.

This is tantamount to sending a signal that there will be no good will.

Hongmen feast!

After Zhou Hexuan arrived in Nanjing, he did not immediately go to the meeting, but visited Hu Shi first.

Hu Shi will return to Shanghai in a month to take over as the head of the Chinese public school, and he is still staying in Nanjing.

"Brother Mingcheng, you shouldn't have come to Nanjing." Hu Shi smiled bitterly as soon as they met.

Zhou Hexuan asked in surprise: "Is there any problem with this graduate school meeting?" ”

Hu Shi sighed: "It's a big problem. Before the victory of the Northern Expedition, it was fine, but after the victory of the Northern Expedition, the struggle for power and profit began immediately. I have already resigned from the Ministry of Education (graduate school), and I advise you not to wade into troubled waters, but to write honestly. ”

Zhou Hexuan is not an immortal, he really hasn't studied the inside story of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China, and asked: "What is the situation?" ”

Ministry of Education...... Oh, no, it's that the graduate school is now divided into two factions," Hu Shih explained, "one faction, headed by Mr. Cai Yuanpei, is the Anglo-American faction; One faction, headed by Li Shizeng, is the faction of studying in France. Now the two factions are about to fight, I helped Mr. Cai Yuanpei speak last month, but Wu Zhihui and them were slandered as 'Shuluo Party Dispute', what do you call this? I was so angry that as soon as I finished the meeting, I immediately resigned! ”

The Shuluo party struggle is about the events of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The leader of the Shu Party is Su Shi, and the leader of the Luo Party is Cheng Yi. The two parties came together because of their opposition to Wang Anshi's change of law, and as a result, after Wang Anshi was squeezed out of the court, the two parties in Shuluo themselves made a quarrel.

If it is compared to the current Ministry of Education, Cai Yuanpei and Li Shi once came together because of their opposition to the Beiyang warlords, and as soon as the Beiyang warlords fell, the two immediately began to fight.

Zhou Hexuan still didn't understand, he said, "Brother Shizhi, you speak in detail." ”

Hu Shi didn't elaborate, but smiled: "Mingcheng, do you know? Two months ago, Li Shizeng's gang had already renamed Peking University as Chung Hua University, and Li Shizeng was appointed as the president of the graduate school. Therefore, Peking University no longer exists, and you, the president of Peking University, are also illegal. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Hexuan was momentarily stunned, and then a burst of anger arose in his heart.

Zhou Hexuan really doesn't want to be the principal, there are too many troubles. But it's one thing not to want to be serious, and it's another thing to be removed from the principal's position for some reason.

Hu Shi started from the beginning: "Good Ministry of Education, why should it be renamed a graduate school?" Because Cai Yuanpei and Li Shizeng, both of them, wanted to make education independent of the government, and they have been working hard since the success of the Xinhai Revolution. The Graduate School implements a university district system, and all educational affairs in each school district are the responsibility of the Graduate School, which has nothing to do with the government. When there were many warlords, the system was very effective. In order to strengthen its prestige and influence in the field of education, the national government also expressed its support for the university district system, which is why the Ministry of Education changed it to a graduate school. ”

Zhou Hexuan understood a little more and said with a smile: "So, as soon as the Northern Expedition is won, the government is ready to use the university district system?" ”

"That's for sure," Hu Shi said and sighed, "I originally thought that the university district system could be continued, but I didn't expect those politicians to turn their faces ruthlessly." The north had just occupied Pingjin, and the south began to oppose the university district system. ”

Hell if you don't object!

The university district system advocates the independence of education, and the cause of education is not controlled by the government, which is tolerated by a centralized government?

"And then?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Hu Shi said: "In order to keep the university district system, Mr. Cai Yuanpei wants to use Gengzi indemnity to suffice education funds, guess what the result is?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "It won't be misappropriated by the government, right?" ”

"It's misappropriated!"

Hu Shi said angrily: "Those Gengzi indemnities are specially used to develop Chinese education, and even the Beiyang government does not dare to embezzle them. The current national government is so powerful that it has diverted the Gengzi indemnity money to local construction! If it was really all used for construction, it would be acceptable, but who knows how much was swallowed by the officials? ”

Hu Shih has a very peaceful personality and is very naΓ―ve in politics, and he often thinks of those in power on the bright side.

But Hu Shi in front of him was so excited and so indignant, obviously what the Nanjing Nationalist Government had done had completely stimulated him. It's not just about education, there should be something else.

The period from 1928 to 1929 was a period of change in Hu Shi's thinking. Next year, he will arrest the Kuomintang and openly write articles questioning Sun Yat-sen's theories, but Chen Dezheng was forced to take refuge in China.

As for the reason, Hu Shih is a liberal, and a series of policies of the Kuomintang trample on the liberalism he believes in.

Hu Shi continued: "Mr. Cai Yunpei has gradually succumbed to seeing that the university district system is difficult to do. Li Shizeng also wanted to continue, and he is currently proposing the establishment of the Beiping University (district), with himself as the dean, to oversee the educational affairs of the entire north. It doesn't matter if it's for ideals, but Li Shi used to be nepotistic, and the heads of the Peking University he proposed were all students studying in France, and they were all his close disciples and friends. ”

Yes, the government is playing with the Ministry of Education, and the leaders of the two factions of the Ministry of Education are still playing power struggles.

Zhou Hexuan sighed and said, "Hearing you say this, I finally figured it out." This time, I was called to a meeting to discuss the establishment of the Peking University School (equivalent to the Greater Peiping District Education Department). Since Li Shizeng has become the president of Peking University, I, the president of Peking University, can only wait for the fate. ”
