Anyone has a preconceived view of things, just like some media that people have preconceived about them, even if it gives the right political situation, the end result is the opposite. As the regime that overthrew the Manchu dynasty and led the country to prosperity, the people had little reservation about the news sent by the revival society. The storming of the Prime Minister's Office on February 28, the 7th year of Shenmu's reign, was soon defined at a subsequent press conference, and it was not a democratic and civilized procession, as propagated by the participants, but a barbaric and brutal riot.

The sharp flagpoles and short sticks used by the guards were displayed at a press conference, and Chinese and foreign reporters used cameras to record the blood-stained spear tips, which later became the best evidence of student atrocities. Although Zhou Shuren knew the casualties caused by the militia's arrest of the students and criticized it as a massacre and the darkest day in the history of the country, the voices of him and several other 'masters of the Republic of China' could not reach the people at all, and even the telegrams they sent from the capital were intercepted.

During the entire press conference, only the US minister, Yenching University, and the Kuomintang made some strange noises. The former was motivated by the fact that many of the students who participated in the march were students from the newly formed Yenching University – which is why the government press conference accused the incident of being manipulated by foreign forces, while the latter was fed up and thought it was a good opportunity to attract popularity, but the result turned out to be ......

"If you become a brother, why do you want to do this to your students?" Early the next morning. Song Jiaoren appeared in the Prime Minister's Office with Zhang Shizhao.

"I didn't do anything to the students." Yang Rui was discussing the affairs of the school with Cai Yuanpei's successor Jiang Weiqiao at this time. In his opinion, the time has come for the school to be reorganized.

"But didn't the patrol police arrest dozens of students yesterday? Now that public opinion is coming, the students' hearts are not calm, so why not let it go? Zhang Shizhao persuaded hard. After quitting the revolutionary party a few years ago, except for the work of the Tingwei Mansion, the rest of the work was the same as in history, showing kindness to all sides and mud, and then being reviled by all sides.

"Legal matters have nothing to do with me!" Yang Rui was displeased. "This is a matter for your Imperial Governor's Mansion, don't take it to the Prime Minister's Mansion to talk about it."

"But you ordered the arrest, and the patrol police also listened to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. As long as you open your mouth, then how can they not let go? Zhang Shizhao said again. Although students are wrong, who among young people will not make mistakes, I think this matter will be a big thing and a small thing. ”

"Student ......," Yang Rui smiled bitterly, "I also know that young people should not be too harsh when they make mistakes, but the problem is that this is not a mistake, this is a crime!" It is understandable that they are committing a crime for their own personal gain, but they are under the slogan of petitioning for the academic community. This makes me puzzled, are they saints or gods and Buddhas, what kind of tour are they full of! ”

Yang Rui's words were illogical, and Zhang Shizhao and Song Jiaoren both felt that he was extremely unhappy. Song Jiaoren also said: "I became a brother." After all, he is a student, so he has to be forgiving and forgiving. ”

Since Song Jiaoren didn't believe in his words, Yang Rui looked at him more and more unpleasantly. He asked, "Since the murder suspect can be released." The embezzlement suspect can also be dealt with in the same way. At the beginning, or we will co-brand. Send a message to the Inspectorate, asking them to release those corrupt officials who have been arrested, what do you think? This is the first step, there are also many murderers and embezzlers in the prison, and I think the three of us will jointly send a document to the Imperial Governor's Mansion or the Inspector's Yuan, and these people will also be pardoned. ”

Even Jiang Weiqiao, who was sitting on the side, could feel the unhappiness and anger in Yang Rui's words, and after Song Jiaoren and Zhang Shizhao were helplessly silent, Zhang Shizhao said: "Actually, aren't you afraid of what Qianfu will point to in the future, these are all students!" ”

"I'd rather be pointed out than be like you!" Yang Rui scoffed, "Especially taking the interests of others to curry favor everywhere." You and Dun Chu can tell those who want you to come and beg me to release people: My favorite thing for Yang Rui is to be accused of being abused, especially by those stinky literati and cannonballs, and there is no better cheer than this. Hey, these bastards are really moths of the country...... no, no, no, they are too much to look up to them, they are not as good as corrupt officials. In order not to cause an incident, corrupt officials will still deal with many things, and they are just a crow's mouth, and every time they shout, the country will be in chaos and the country's strength will decay a little.

You tell them, don't think that without the emperor and without Confucianism, they will be lawless. I know what it means for them to promote a new culture, don't they just take advantage of foreign countries to bring down the old people and make room for them, don't they? Liang Zhuo is like this, and when he finds some Western tooth wisdom, he is embarrassed to brag that he is a master, something! You tell them to be honest, and if they break the law, they will be sent to prison.

Didn't they dream of being on the throne, and the prisoners in the prison would like them to taste the tender meat of the new culture masters, provided that they wash their buttocks, and then be diligent and take customers every day. Oh yes, if you want to be popular, you have to be coquettish, ** the voice must be sexier than that of a woman, 'uncle, master' must be called well, and the talent must be outstanding, and you must understand and sing it. In addition, the Xianggong Hall in the Eight Hutongs should be visited frequently now, so that they can familiarize themselves with the business first, and when the time comes, they will be careful not to be frightened when they go to prison......"

The more Yang Rui's words became dirty, the more Song Jiaoren and Zhang Shizhao shook their heads the more they listened, nearly half an hour passed, and when he finally finished speaking, Song Jiaoren suppressed his anger and said: "Do you have some mental problems?" ”

"yes. How do you know? Yang Rui smiled, his expression was extremely natural.

He said that Song Jiaoren was defeated and retreated, and Zhang Shizhao sighed: "Why do you hate those teachers so much? Whether it's for their own ascension or something else, it's for the good of the country. ”

"The national policy is formulated by the Inspectorate, regardless of whether the Inspectorate is really just a puppet as some people say, but the rules are the rules, which are agreed upon by the people of the whole country before. Instigating students to march, but hiding behind the scenes, I have never seen such a shameless thing! I want revival in those years. Not to mention that he never led the students to storm the Manchu Yamen to die, even the normal backbone of the march also stood in the first row. They're good. After some agitation, he disappeared first. When something happened and blood was shed, they stood up, or blamed the government with righteousness and awe, or preached saving people with compassion, and even wanted to use this to launch a greater ridicule, what a thing! ”

Yang Rui's sanity returned to normal, and after a night of interrogation, he was very clear about many situations, and the more he was like this, the more he wanted to have a 'hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend', and then send all these rightists who are actually shameless and good people to prison to be the prime minister. But it is a pity that he cannot do this under the current political system.

"At the beginning of the retreat, if the Kuomintang wants to develop and expand its influence, I suggest that you don't go to this aspect." Yang Rui looked at Song Jiaoren, who shook his head, and warned solemnly. "There's a limit to my patience."

Yang Rui's words made Song Jiaoren's heart furious, and he forced himself to calm down: "What do you want to do?" ”

"I don't want to do anything." Yang Rui smiled, "I am happy to see the Kuomintang as an overseer to help the Fuxing Association clean up internal problems and corruption, and I am not opposed to the day when the voters will vote for you, and then elect you, or someone from your party, as the prime minister." This is in line with the rules of the game. Playing chess in general, no one can win forever, win or lose must always be recognized, are you willing to gamble and lose.

But you have to get involved with those mouthful literati and Westerners who are chaotic in politics and troubled the country. violates the constitution and vainly tries to change the unspoken rules of the game - what a new culture, what a waste of Chinese language, what universal suffrage, what a total westernization. Then I don't mind changing the rules of the game now, although the country will be in chaos for a while. But that's still under my control. ”

After Yang Rui finished speaking, he glared at Song Jiaoren, and Song Jiaoren also glared at him. The eyes exchanged for a while, and in the end, Song Jiaoren's avoidance was over. Solve Song Jiaoren. Yang Rui looked at Zhang Shizhao beside him again, "I remember that Xingyan quit the revolutionary party and did not join the alliance because he always did bad things with good intentions." Before you came to me to plead, you didn't think about what would happen to this country if you didn't punish these students and let them make trouble? ”

"But they're just students, and you know they're being instructed." Zhang Shizhao was born with a woman's heart, and at the same time, he is also the greatest auspicious man in the Republic of China - the auspicious rui of the ruler, but in his own opinion, everything he does is good.

"Brain-dead people naturally have to pay the price of brain-dead. If you can't distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, I don't have you as a friend. Yang Rui said and tore off a piece of his shirt and threw it in front of him.

Seeing that Yang Rui had done everything to break off diplomatic relations, Zhang Shizhao's eyes were red, and he said loudly: "Is it because I can't tell the difference between good and evil, or do you not know the difference between good and evil?" ”

"Of course it's you! Just like when you preached revolution in the Soviet newspaper, just like you kindly went to visit the prison in the arrest room, just like you introduced Chen Youji to the people, every good thing you did was actually a bad thing that could not be worse. When you're done, you clap your hands, feel like you've accumulated virtue again, and then fall asleep satisfied, but you don't want to think about how many bad things you've done.

When I see you, I know why our country is always bullied, foreigners are all profit-seeking and selfish, but the more they are like this, the faster they develop, the faster they are strong, and the organic combination of bad individuals is good for the society and the country, but the more good you are, the worse the whole country will be, and the bad can not be worse. What a fucking irony! ”

Yang Rui shook his head again, then stood up and went around the bookcase to pick up the torn piece of clothing, and said, "I was excited just now, I'll take this back." Hey, when I go back, my wife is going to scold again. ”

Such a crazy behavior made several people present look sideways, but Yang Rui explained helplessly as if nothing happened: "I have always been a person who wants justice and fairness. It's true! He looked very sincere, "Even in a novel, as long as I see something unjust or unfair—even if I know it's fake or made up, I'll still be crazy and uncomfortable for a long time." I've had this problem since I was a child, I can't get rid of it, and it's useless to take medicine.

It's crazy to read the injustice in the novel, and it's even worse if you experience it yourself, not because you're not mentally ill, but you'll be tortured out of neuropathy. I've been wondering since yesterday, why can people be so shameless, so dirty, so cannibalistic and not spit out bones? No matter how cruel the murderer was, he knew that he was a criminal, and he immediately fled when he saw the patrolman. But some people do everything for their own selfishness and bad deeds, but they still have a high-sounding name: 'Asking for life for the people, for democracy', it's disgusting!

Those literati are so hateful. But even though I'm prime minister, I can't do anything, so I couldn't help it when I saw the interrogation report last night. The headache has not been good until now, from yesterday to just now. Countless intercession telegrams and phone calls, and the two of you to provoke me again. Don't you know that governing the country should follow the law, whether these students can be released or not, whether they need to go to jail or not, you should ask the judge, what is the use of coming to me to intercede? ”

After being nervous, he told him frankly, Song Jiaoren was still thinking about Yang Rui's previous warning, but Zhang Shizhao still didn't give up: "Actually, although governing the country must follow the law, it is still necessary to be extrajudicial to students......

At this time, Yang Rui was completely angry, he didn't know where to find a revolver and pointed it at Zhang Shizhao. shouted: "Let me ask you, is it the rule of law or the rule of man?" ”

"Sir! It's done!! Li Zilong, as well as Jiang Weiqiao and Song Jiaoren on the side, were all shocked when they saw this, but Yang Rui was unmoved, he stared at Zhang Shizhao and drank: "Rule of law or rule of man?" If you make it clear, the rule of law will not be inked, and the fucking lawyer will go to the lawsuit; It's better to rule people, I wanted people to arrest those bullshit literati who provoked student demonstrations last night, and I killed them on the spot when I caught them. That's going to be investigated and forensics, how refreshing! - You speak, the rule of law or the rule of man?? ”

Looking at the muzzle of the gun facing him, he could see that the hammer of the pistol had been drawn. Zhang Shizhao's face was like dirt, and his whole body began to tremble. Yang Rui felt more and more disgusted when he saw him like this, and his heart slammed out. The trigger is pulled, 'Smack... Syllable... Bang bang bang ......'. Six shots were fired in a row, and Zhang Shizhao fell from his chair on the spot - he was stunned.

"Escape. Send him back. Yang Rui blew the muzzle of the gun that was still smoking, and looked at Song Jiaoren, who was pointing at him who wanted to scold but didn't dare to scold.

"You... You ......," Song Jiaoren looked at Yang Rui's gaze at this time as if he saw a snake, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment. Pulled up Zhang Shizhao on the ground, and with the help of the guards who rushed in after hearing the sound, he carried Zhang Shizhao out.

"The chatter, it hasn't been stopped since yesterday, and now that the news that Zhang Xingyan was 'killed' by me has spread, those bastards don't dare to intercede anymore." Yang Rui put the pistol back in its place, only to feel that the 'flies' in his ears were gone, and the whole world was a lot quieter.

"Hey......" Jiang Weiqiao was stunned and saw that Zhang Shizhao was fine, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why do you have to do this?" Actually, everyone wants to live for this, but ......"

"Since yesterday, no one has mentioned the wounded guards, only the students who resisted arrest. Just like the guards are like dogs, students are treasures that fall from the sky. Without students, the country would have turned the same way, and without soldiers, would this country still exist? What a bunch of self-righteous bastards who shout equality but don't have equality at all!! ”

Yang Rui scolded again, but he had just finished a round of bullets, and there were no more flies buzzing in his ears, and his mood was much better. "You don't know, there is a social structure in sociology called cartelization, which refers to the division of a country into several evenly matched interest groups, and no one can suppress the other, and the result is to cheer each other on - you promise me, I promise you. In this way, the state has no internal trade-offs, the government cannot concentrate its efforts, and nothing can be done; There is no strategy for the outside world, making enemies everywhere, as long as everything can be offended, it will be offended; Over time, it eventually became a society of universal seizure, not to mention the military interfering in politics, scholars, literati, merchants, peasants, workers, in short, as long as they were corners, they wanted to show their faces on stage.

Those international students who preach a new culture want to become a new force through total westernization. If they can get on the top, then everyone will want to jump up in the future, so these people must step on it! ”

Jiang Weiqiao came very early, but his report to Yang Rui was interrupted by phone calls, telegrams, and reports, and seeing that he was still complaining about the students, he immediately took advantage of the gap between his words and said: "It's done, this..., I'm going to come back tomorrow, right?" ”

"No!" As if he had finally thought of something, Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "Where did we talk about just now?" ”

"We're talking about no more grammar students, and at the same time reducing the number of international students sent to Europe and the United States." Jiang Weiqiao sweated, and the topic finally returned.

"Yes. That's what I mean. International students are not allowed to be sent to France, and Germany and the United States are also sent as few as possible. Yang Rui said.

"But that's all there is to it." Jiang Weiqiao was thinking just now that France can't go, and Germany and the United States should also send less, so where else can they be sent?

"The UK is a top priority." Yang Rui said. "Germany and the United States just need to pay attention to screening, and this intelligence bureau will give you a relevant report about the school. In addition, undergraduate students should gradually reduce the number of students going abroad, focusing on master's and doctoral students. ”

After the passage of the Education Act. Four thousand students study abroad every year because of the huge gains from the war. The school department had a proposal to expand the number of international students before, but now according to Yang Rui's request, the number of international students will not be increased, I am afraid that it will not reach 4,000. Jiang Weiqiao didn't want this result as soon as he came to power, and immediately said: "Then the number of international students may only be half of what it used to be." ”

"Half is half." Yang Rui didn't care. "It would have been a waste to spend so much money to go abroad for an undergraduate. Look at what so many 'banana' students are going to do now, do you want to mess with the country? There's no need to negotiate this, you can find someone to accumulate how many students you can send according to the list of schools provided by the Intelligence Bureau. What's next, the internal management of the university? ”

"Yes." After Jiang Weiqiao wrote down the Intelligence Bureau in his notebook. After flipping a few pages of the report he submitted, he said: "At present, the university is mainly composed of three systems: the board of trustees, the professors' council, and the student union. The reason why Peking University was able to launch the march this time was mainly due to the encouragement and acquiescence of Dean Chen Zhongfu, President Yan Jidao, and some professors and faculty members in the college, and most importantly, Fu Mengzhen, the most popular among the students, supported the march. ”

"Where did he come from?" Yang Rui remembered the tall student representative and had to ask.

"He is a native of Liaocheng, Shandong, and his ancestors were the first in the Shunzhi period, and he should be the first champion in the former Qing Dynasty, but he fell into his grandfather's generation, and he studied in Tianjin before entering Peking University. Ta Kung Pao's Yingzhi has been very helpful......"

Jiang Weiqiao didn't say that it was okay, but when he said that Yang Rui had a headache again, Lu Bicheng's dead woman, I don't know where she got the news. I actually sent him a telegram in the middle of the night last night, hoping that he would be lenient with Fu Sinian. Speaking of which, it's better to intercede with Yingzhi.

"Don't talk about this Fu Si year. Only Peking University marched while the other schools were normal. That shows that these three systems are still normal, and what we want to change now is: any student who comes back from studying abroad. No matter how old you are or how highly educated, you can only start as an ordinary teacher. The promotion can only be made after the council has deliberated; In addition, they teach whatever degree they get, don't be like Hu Shi, what they learn is philosophy, but what they teach is history. Yang Rui said.

"Then what about Chen Zhongfu? His diploma is fake. Jiang Weiqiao made a note again, and then asked.

"The school director and the school management system only recognize diplomas and work experience, and all those who don't have a diploma are kicked out! Professors and faculty members, if they do not have a diploma, they must be recognized by the whole school council, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the school. Yang Rui said, "Besides, the students brought out by the professors of this school are forbidden to teach in the school, so as not to have a nest of wolves and rats and inbreeding!" ”

"Understood." Jiang Weiqiao recorded again. "It's just, what if these professors are looking for assistants?"

"Then ......" Yang Rui didn't know what to do about it, he patted his head and said, "Don't ask me about this, I only give the principle, and you can grasp the details yourself." What are the following topics? ”

"Here are the middle schools and the elementary schools. In particular, elementary schools were made public and private schools were completely banned within 10 years. After the draft was sent, the opposition was very loud, and many people wrote and petitioned to the school, and Xu Daren, the chairman of the Education Committee of the Institute of Suspicion, was very opposed to this...... "Jiang Weiqiao said.

"Tell me why these people are against it." Yang Rui knew that Xu Jingming was a poor talent, but he had a very firm stance since the Qing Dynasty and was a loyal backbone of the Fuxing Society.

"The petitioner's reason is mainly for his own livelihood, which is not much to say. But some of them share the same view that the introduction of public schools would lead to illiteracy in rural areas. The collection of opinions compiled by the school department is very long, and the articles discussed are also very large, but it is obvious that Jiang Weiqiao cannot state them one by one, so he can only say: "Yes, China is a small peasant society, and the private schools and academies in various places are mainly aimed at the imperial examination, mainly in the countryside; Once even the primary schools are made public and private schools are abandoned, there will be no more schools in the countryside, and the tradition of farming and reading heirlooms will no longer exist, which is the illiteracy in the countryside that Xu Daren and others are worried about. The illiterate he spoke of is not an illiterate person, but an illiterate person. ”

"We can build a Hope Primary School......" Yang Rui subconsciously said this word, but then he stopped.

"In fact, what the new learning can teach students is only knowledge, and as for the style of the literati, there is really nothing. Judging from the situation in the Qing Dynasty in the past, no matter how backward the old scholars were, they still had criteria and a bottom line, but those students who came back from studying abroad had no bottom line ethics to speak of in order to become officials; Judging from yesterday's demonstration, no matter how dissatisfied the old pedants were with the government, they would not provoke the students, but they themselves sat behind them and watched the bloodshed.

The widows discussed these things with us last night, and hey! Jiang Weiqiao shook his head helplessly, "In order to be on top, they have no moral bottom line at all." Chen Zhongfu had mentioned the march to the people before, but the people didn't agree at all, but the people didn't agree, so they still secretly did it from the people, and only informed the people after the students left the school, and they trusted these people before they left. ”

Jiang Weiqiao said a little off-topic, and there was a suspicion of exonerating Cai Yuanpei, Yang Rui didn't want to worry about whether Cai Yuanpei knew about the parade in advance, so he only asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

"I think that since the imperial examination still exists, then the private school cannot be abolished." Jiang Weiqiao said. "Even if there is no imperial examination, there is still a marketization policy for primary education."

"Can the education of the private school teach pinyin, and what about the student's learning progress? What about patriotic education? How to organize and rectify these qualities? Yang Rui asked three questions in one breath.

"I guess I didn't read the report I submitted." Jiang Weiqiao asked, judging by the number and frequency of intercession for students, Yang Rui couldn't handle any official business from yesterday to today.

"Hmm. I've only read the first three pages, so let's talk about it now. Yang Rui said.

"I'll start with a simple start," Jiang Weiqiao said: "It's not difficult to sort out and rectify these quality educations, even public primary schools don't have this kind of education, since they are all extra, then private schools and public schools are the same; Patriotic education, if it is not only loyal to the Renaissance Society, it is not a problem, there are countless articles on loyalty and patriotism in the past dynasties, we only need to choose the teaching materials, and the private school professors are some old pedants, and the patriotic education of the loyal monarch is better than that of public primary schools.

In the end, pinyin education," Jiang Weiqiao said with a smile here, "It's not actually a problem. At the beginning, we found some adults who have passed the school age test, that is naturally pinyin literacy fast, can be seen in recent years students compared to the results, pinyin for primary school students literacy education in the speed of no advantage, but in the composition of a great disadvantage - public schools with pinyin to teach students, the average score of the composition of middle school students is ten to fifteen points lower than that of private school students.

The teaching of private schools is mainly memorization, mainly articles, and students' skills are firmly established, liberal arts and sciences are proficient, and exports are chapters; Most of the public schools are pinyin, mainly for literacy, and the textbooks selected are extremely popular, close to the vernacular, and are only compiled for the current literacy.

From the summary of these years, we know: if you want to eradicate illiteracy, it is necessary to recognize words in pinyin, because adults have passed the best memory in life, and can not be taught by memorizing the ears and ears, infiltrating and teaching, but for school-age students, if only considering literacy, pinyin is the best; However, if you want to be proficient in the mysteries of the Chinese language, you have to use the old method of private school-when the students have the best memory, they can dredge up their literature and science by memorizing the songs, and cultivate the meaning of the text, so that they can write a good article. (To be continued......)
