It was easy for Liu Desheng to calm down his excitement, and only then did he feel the gaze of the beautiful women around him, and he couldn't help but turn his head and smile embarrassedly.

"What is this classmate's surname?" Yang Jinhui smiled slightly and asked.

"Under the surname Liu, the name Desheng, the cursive word is moist." Liu Desheng smiled and stretched out his hand to the other party, "I'm recruited from outside the library department, what about you?" ”

Yang Jinhui looked at Liu Desheng's outstretched hand, her face couldn't help but blush slightly, she hesitated, stretched out her hand and shook him gently.

"My name is Yang Jinhui, cursive [***]." Yang Jinhui replied.

Liu Desheng couldn't help but be surprised to hear that the girl in front of him had the same words as the man, but he didn't ask such a stupid question, but politely let go of her hand.

Liu Desheng just wanted to talk to her further, when the bell rang for the end of class, Yang Jinhui got up and stood up, smiled at Liu Desheng, and then left quickly.

"Haha! Brother Runze, this is 'electrocuted'! ”

Seeing Liu Desheng staring at Yang Jinhui's figure in a daze, Cai Wenbin canceled him on the side.

Liu Desheng came back to his senses, laughed a little embarrassedly, and didn't say anything.

"It's really rare that this Miss Yang actually has a table." Cai Wenbin said.

"You don't know? She is the daughter of Mr. Yang Huaiyu, a professor of ethics at Peking University. A Peking University student said to Liu Cai and the others on the side, "Professor Yang strongly advocates equality between men and women, so he also gave his daughter a name." ”

"Professor Yang Huaiyu? Mr. Yang Huaiyu of Xinmin Society? Listening to this classmate's words, Liu Desheng asked in surprise.

"Of course." The student answered in the affirmative.

Liu Desheng nodded, did not ask any more, he tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, packed up his books, and left the classroom with Cai Wenbin.

At this time, Liu Desheng had already made up his mind to visit the home of Professor Yang Huaiyu, whom he had always admired.

"Do you want your daughter to come back for a few days?"

At this time, in a courtyard, Yang Huaiyu's wife said to her husband to Zhong Xu.

"If she wants to come back, she will come back, don't worry." Yang Huaiyu helped the glasses on her nose, put down the book in her hand, and said to her wife with a smile, "If the female university is not staying, she is willing to live in the school, so you will let her live well." ”

"School is not as convenient as home." Mrs. Yang said with some disgust, and gently fanned her husband a few times with a fan, "The conditions of the school are no better than at home." ”

"Not necessarily." Yang Huaiyu shook his head with a smile and said, "You may not know that the first thing the newly appointed Minister Yang of the Ministry of Finance did was to put forward a proposal to increase education funding. Before taking office, Minister Yang had donated money to build facilities on the campuses of various universities in Yenching to improve the living conditions of students and staff, and now the living conditions of these dolls are so good that they are not what you think. If you have the opportunity, you can go to the campus to have a look, I don't know how many times better than the conditions when I was studying. ”

Yang Huaizhong remembered the scene when he went east to study, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This General Xiao Yang is a soldier, but it is rare to pay so much attention to education." Mrs. Yang sighed with relief, "I heard that his former nickname was 'high-tech warlord'. ”

"The word 'high-tech' is well-deserved for him, but when he says 'warlord', I'm afraid it is a bit wronged." Yang Huaiyu said with a smile, "I heard Chen Zhonghua talk about this person's experience, he is also a student and a person with new ideas, although this person is good at military affairs, he is not from the military, and he does not raise private soldiers, does not accumulate private wealth, and does not have a fixed territory, it should not be said that he is a warlord." ”

"No private soldiers, no territory, it seems to be yes, but no private wealth, I'm afraid it's not accurate." Mrs. Yang said with a smile, "I heard that his mansion in Beijing is called a palatial mansion, and there are beautiful women in it, and there is no money, how can there be these?" ”

"You're just hearsay." Yang Huaiyu said with a smile, "You haven't been to his house, how do you know that his family is full of beautiful women?" ”

Mrs. Yang smiled and nodded, indicating that she had indeed listened to others. While they were talking, a servant came in and told him that someone had asked to see him.

"Look at the shield, say Cao Ying, Cao Ying has arrived, Zhonghua is here." After Yang Huaiyu heard that it was Chen Qiansheng, he clapped his hands happily and said to the servant, "Please, please." ”

"Hasn't Zhonghua been teaching at Guangzhou University? How did you get to Kyori? Mrs. Yang asked.

"A few days ago, he sent a letter saying that he was going to come to Yanjing to discuss teaching with that 'high-tech warlord'." Yang Huaiyu got up and said, "You go and get us some wine and food, I don't see Zhonghua for a long time, we have to have a good chat." ”

Mrs. Yang nodded with a smile and turned to leave, Yang Huaiyu got up to clean up, and then the servant led Chen Qiansheng into the courtyard.

"Zhonghua said that he didn't see it." Yang Huaiyu got up and greeted him as he spoke, and the two hugged each other affectionately, then sat down, and the servant handed over the refreshments and retreated.

"Looking at Zhonghua's face with a frosty face, it seems that the conditions in Guangzhou are not as good as here!" Yang Huaiyu looked at Chen Qiansheng, who had a dark and thin face, and asked with some puzzlement.

"Not really. Although the conditions of Guangzhou University are not as good as those of Peking University and Tsinghua University, they are also quite good. Chen Qiansheng smiled and shook his head, "I made this embarrassment this time because I ran through most of the United States. ”

"Oh? Why did Zhonghua travel to most of the United States? Yang Huaiyu asked puzzled.

"Cannibalism, loyalty, has to be like this." Chen Qiansheng said with a smile, "I was entrusted by Yang Hanzhi to take people to the United States to study education, and I have gained a lot. ”

"Zhonghua went to the United States this time, what did he see and hear, tell me about it." Yang Huaiyu asked with some excitement.

"In fact, all over the world, not only Chinese students study hard, but American students also work hard, and the level of hard work is comparable to that of Chinese students." Chen Qiansheng said, "However, its hard work is hard work, and the effect after its completion is very different from that of my country. ”

"What's the difference?" Yang Huaiyu asked.

"It's easy for American students to graduate from high school, and it's relatively easy to get into college, so it's fair to say that the doors of American universities are open to every student. But if you want to get into a prestigious university or a good university in the United States, it is unimaginably hard, and I think this is one of the reasons why the United States is strong. ”

"Zhonghua is more detailed." Yang Huaiyu's face showed a look of concentration.

"Admissions to elite universities in the U.S. place a special emphasis on whether students have put in the hardest work in high school — specifically, whether they have taken the most difficult prerequisite courses. Advanced placement schools account for about 40 percent of all high schools in the United States, and these high schools, both private and public, are excellent. These excellent high schools are all on the priority list for admission to prestigious universities in the United States. For example, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford University compete for the top few students from excellent high schools every year. ”

As a result, the arduous preparatory course makes it very difficult for students who want to enter prestigious universities to have a very difficult high school life. When they enter high school, they take exams and pass the exams before they can enter the preparatory class, which is called the "honors class" or "peiyou class" in English. The courses taken are much deeper and broader than those in regular classes, and there are a lot more assignments. For example, Maddie High School in California has 7 courses a day, 7 kinds of textbooks plus required reading and optional reading, a total of about 52 kilograms. The school's 12th graders, for example, have a 19th-century history textbook in their bag, plus the required reading of diplomatic history and contemporary history compiled by a history professor at Yale University, which add up to more than 800 pages. In the textbook, you must bring 1 novel of more than 300 pages of intensive reading, and 3 novels of extensive reading. There are also biology, physics, calculus textbooks and foreign language textbooks, two foreign language novels, as well as psychology textbooks, philosophy textbooks, and so on. ”

"These students take 7 classes a day. Classes start at 6:50 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. After class, extracurricular activities, competitions, and homework await them! Sleeping 6 hours a day is a blessing, while 5 hours a day is considered normal, and 4 hours a day is not unusual. ”

"Prestigious universities in the United States not only look at students' grades, but also attach great importance to students' extracurricular activities. There are three categories of extracurricular activities for American students: the first category is academic surname. There are two types of high school academic extracurricular activities that are most recognized by American universities: the Olympiad Science Activity and the American High School Decathlon. Ten knowledge competitions include, painting, music, economics and more. The second category is speech and debate. The third category is voluntary activities. Many American high school students spend a lot of time volunteering in hospitals, churches, and public places, as well as school and community service, such as serving as editors-in-chief and columnist of school newspapers and magazines. If the extracurricular activities are excellent, the top universities in the United States will also rush to ask for them. Prestigious universities in the United States, especially Harvard University, place great emphasis on a student's leadership skills, outstanding personal name, and special talents. ”

"These high school students who want to enter prestigious universities in the United States may have a harder time than Chinese high school students, because not only do they have to maintain high scores and good grades, but they also have to perform well in extracurricular activities, volunteer work, and culture and sports. Even if only in terms of scores, the composition of high scores and good scores of American high school students is different from that of Chinese high school students. Compulsory education, for example, in the United States, is more focused on the liberal arts. Elementary school students are encouraged to read, and many elementary schools also reward reading, such as getting a ticket for a reduced price for how many books you read in a week, and buying a hamburger at a bakery for far less than the market price. The federal government, state government, and county and municipal governments are willing to spend money to encourage elementary school students to develop good reading habits. ”

"Compared with Chinese high school students, American students also study less physics and chemistry to do problems. However, the reason why American education emphasizes the liberal arts is based on the idea that a broad perspective is very important for any kind of work in the future. Even if you are a scientist in the future, because of your broad vision, you may only do 100 experiments and the results will come out, while a scientist with a narrow vision may need 200 experiments to come out. Therefore, reading and assimilating widely in the liberal arts field can be potentially beneficial for any future career. ”

"American education focuses on practice and application, and cultivates talents who are useful to society, rather than bookworms who die reading, which is the most important thing for our country to learn from." After listening to Chen Qiansheng's narration, Yang Huaiyu couldn't help but nod his head again and again, "The poison of the feudal imperial examination on China's education has not been completely eliminated so far. Removing this drawback is a matter of urgency. ”

"Yes, I came to Beijing this time to explain to Yang Hanzhi what I have seen and heard in the United States, reform my country's education system, and cultivate students' practical ability." Chen Qiansheng said.

"It seems that Zhonghua and Yang Hanzhi are extremely familiar with each other." Yang Huaiyu said, "This time, the political axe can make up his mind to run a big education, which is not unrelated to this person's efforts." ”

"Not bad." Chen Qiansheng said, "This person has excellent insight and extraordinary ability, and he must be the one who can revitalize our Chinese nation in the future." ”

Chen Qiansheng and Yang Huaiyu continued to have a lively discussion about education in China, unaware that among the people he would meet in Yanjing, there would be a rival who had been in another historical time and space. And this time they will also start a fierce competition again, but the object of competition is different from that moment in the air.

At this time, Chen Qiansheng planned to see Yang Shuoming, who had returned to his life, but he was paying attention to the situation of another person.

Yang Shuoming, who was sitting at the table, put down the report in his hand, took a piece of rice paper and spread it on the table, then picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote the rice paper.

Soon, a word was swept away.

"Looking at Manchuria in the north, in the Bohai Sea, the wind and waves are blowing. I want to think that back then, Jihei Liao Shen, the people were happy. Set up a fence in front of Changbai Mountain, Leh City on the bank of the Heilongjiang River, I can't think of it, the Japanese are longitudinal, and the wind and clouds are evil! ”

"The first day of the war, the land is cut; Jiachen service, sovereignty falls! Sigh the rivers and mountains are the same, and the Yi people are scattered. When was he ordered to raise the brigade and recover the mountains and rivers in a war! But he returned, forever as a Pengshan tour, and read the Mida! ”

"Well written." Behind Yang Shuoming, a sweet voice said, "Majestic, fierce, really worthy of the handiwork of the commander of the army." ”

Yang Shuoming felt Xi Xue's familiar aura, smiled, and put down the pen.

"You're praising the wrong person, I didn't make this poem." Yang Shuoming said with a smile,

"Wasn't this "Man Jianghong" made by the general?" Xi Xue looked at Yang Shuoming a little strangely and said, "But judging from the content of this poem and the artistic conception expressed, it is full of the atmosphere of a military general." ”

"This poem was made by General Wu Ziyu," Yang Shuoming replied with a smile, "I think this poem is very well written, so I borrowed it to practice calligraphy, so that you talented women always laugh at me, saying that I can't even write calligraphy." ”

As Yang Shuoming said, this song "Man Jianghong? Dengpeng Lai Immortal Pavilion" is exactly what Wu Peifu did. He saw this poem in the report just now, and only wrote two strokes on a whim.

"General Wu Ziyu led the troops as a scholar and rose up to march, this time he fought against Yue Kou, made great achievements, and was also a great hero." Xi Xue said, "No wonder you can make such poems. ”

Listening to Xi Xue's words, Yang Shuoming was silent for a while.

Wu Peifu threw his pen from Rong as a talented person, he got on the horse to recite poetry, dismounted to read, write, paint, and paint, and was familiar with the "Book of Changes" and "Chung Qiu", which can be said to be very special among the Beiyang warlords.

And the golden age of Wu Peifu's life was this battle of resistance in the Northeast.

Now the military song sung in the Chinese Army is the "Man Jianghong" written by himself. Ascend Penglai Pavilion!

At this time, the words in the report just now were still echoing in Yang Shuoming's mind.

“…… His diet and daily life are very simple, eating pasta, rice, drinking only a little Shandong rice wine or Shaoxing wine at each meal, going to bed early and getting up early. In addition to training and fighting wars in peacetime, he likes to read, does not love money, is not afraid of death, and does not bow to foreigners. ”

"When Wu was stationed in Luoyang, Cao Kun's army in Baoding was sparked by a mutiny due to non-payment, which was actually a conflict between the old and new school officers and soldiers who were born in the student and the army. Cao Kun urgently summoned Wu to solve the problem. Wu then summoned all the officers and men to make a speech on 'standing side by side', which meant that the officers and soldiers who were born as students were 'Ying', and the officers and soldiers who were born in the army were 'Xiong', and they must be able to write and martial arts to be heroes, and hoped that they would learn from each other and unite well. Although he stuttered a little, and he didn't understand Shandong Penglai dialect very well, a mutiny was resolved by him with a few words. The key to the dissolution of the military change is that these officers and soldiers from different backgrounds all have respect for him, and he himself is both a talent and a soldier. Wu Peifu sang his own lyrics "Man Jianghong? Dengpenglai Pavilion", said that I was uncomfortable listening to it, and a reporter from this newspaper went to his station to interview, and once questioned face-to-face: 'Can Dengpenglai Pavilion see Changbai Mountain?' He replied, 'My heart and eyes are psychic, and I can see not only Changbai Mountain, but also your Mt. Fuji nickname!' 'People are ashamed and retreat......

"When Wu was in Luoyang, Soviet Russia sent a representative to meet with him, saying that he would support him as the lord of China, but Wu did not hesitate to reject the proposal of the Soviet Russian representative, saying that 'the country's land rights and interests cannot be transferred in the slightest.'" He didn't mind being called a warlord by others, and once wrote a poem to mock himself: 'Dare to see through the clouds and hues, but believe that the warlord is boundless.'" ’”

"The Wu family is innocent, does not accept concubines, does not accumulate money, and usually drinks and writes poems, and is a scholar. Therefore, Soviet Russia once favored it, and Wu Peifu sent a telegram in support of the students of the student movement: "The students of Bi Xin are aroused by their enthusiasm for love, and they run and call for signs, one after another, striking the bell with grass and hitting the stone with an egg, which is neither a struggle for power nor a party reputation." His heart is pitiful, his ambition is commendable, and his feelings are even more forgiving. For this reason, young students praised it. ”

Today's Wu Peifu can be said to be the most famous of the current Beiyang warlords. Even a woman like Xixue has a great impression of him.
