Tangpo Tianyuan is next to the post road in the northeast of Tanzhou City, which is the ancestral hall of the Zhu family, it is said that this is built by the Zhu family when they avoided the Taiping Army in the Xianfeng period, and it is also a famous garden outside the Tanzhou Mansion. Tianyuan is located in the mountains, the upper and lower slopes are in the garden, planted with precious flowers and trees, or placed bonsai, the anniversary fragrance is rich. Take granite as a step, build into a corridor, twists and turns, every few tens of meters or pavilion or pavilion or hall, distribute nature, the scenery in the garden is in full view, when the flowers bloom in spring and autumn every year, people in and out of dozens of miles often come here to enjoy the flowers, so lively. There is a well water in the garden, clear and sweet, and because Zhu Changlin is rich in Tanzhou, it is called the wealth water, and the white crane spring of Xiyuelu Mountain, the white sand well spring in Tanzhou City, the Baihui Spring on the top of Liuyang Shizhu Peak, and called the four famous springs of Tanzhou.

As expected, Master Cai, who was sitting in an official sedan chair and holding a signboard of the Hanlin Academy, received a grand reception from the Zhu family, and Zhu Changlin, his cousin Zhu Zhigui and several nephews held banquets in Tianyuan every day. At that time, Zhu Changlin was already in his eighties, but he was still in good spirits and full of energy. He said in an official dialect with a strong Hunan accent: "Master Cai can come to my Tanzhou from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is also fate." Mr. Cai was a Hanlin dynasty and ran a newspaper in Shanghai, which can be said to be a study between China and the West. The old man has something he wants to ask the master, and he also asks the master to solve his doubts. ”

Cai Yuanpei said: "I don't dare to ask for advice, please ask the old gentleman to speak." ”

Zhu Changlin said: "After this Gengzi, the imperial court began to change the law, Xin Chou stopped the martial arts, and Ren Yinnian said that the academy was abolished and the school was changed, and now it is rumored that the imperial examination will be abolished, and all will be changed to study tours." May I ask Master Cai, is this imperial examination really going to be abolished? If it is really the internal waste of the imperial examination, then how can the imperial court select talents? "Although the old man is not young, he is still concerned about the political incident, and he attaches great importance to the education of the new school of the imperial examination, which is the career of the next generation of the Zhu family, and it is not easy for the Zhu family to get to where it is today.

Cai Yuanpei knows about the abolition of the imperial examination, not only has there been a debate in the newspapers, but the new party in the imperial court that does practical things has long been asked to abolish the imperial examination and replace it with a new study, in all fairness, these eight articles should have been abolished a long time ago, but as far as the matter is concerned, with today's officialdom, after the abolition of the imperial examination, the road to the advancement of the lower-class scholars will be completely blocked, and the only way to be an official in the future is to pass the promotion of the people of the court and the local officials, which will make the officialdom even more chaotic. Of course, in this scenario, Cai Yuanpei would not say anything good about the imperial examination, he replied: "What the old gentleman is worried about is also what the people are worried about, since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the imperial court has been opening the imperial court for more than 1,300 years, and it is really inappropriate to abolish it rashly." However, the governors of various places are blindly trying to do their best, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before this imperial examination is abolished. As soon as the imperial examination was abolished, the imperial court only focused on the school and the students, and if the children and grandchildren of the old gentleman wanted to go out, they could only enter the new school first and then go abroad to study, and after they had achieved something, they could enter the court as an official. The people used to teach at the Nanyang Public School run by Sheng Xuanhuai, the Minister of Commerce, and if the boss wanted to ......, the people could also introduce and recommend one or two. ”

There are hundreds of large and small new schools in this Tanzhou city, but Mr. Zhu is uncomfortable with how he looks at these schools, and he feels that it is not like a place to teach sage books, but the prevalence of new learning is the general trend in the future, so he invited Sheng Shudong to teach new learning at home. Sheng Xuanhuai, Minister of Commerce, Zhu Changlin, knew about it, and Nanyang Public School also heard of it, and knew that it was a higher education hall alongside Beijing Normal University Hall, Tianjin University Hall, and Shanxi University Hall. He said: "I just heard that the students recruited in this university hall are all talented and talented, and the grandchildren are still too young, otherwise they will have to trouble the master to recommend them." ”

Cai Yuanpei said with a smile: "The old man doesn't know that this Nanyang Public School is not only a university hall, but also a secondary school. If you are really not afraid of the pain of your parents' parting, you can also go in. After graduating from the secondary school, you can enter the higher school, and if you have excellent character and learning, you can study abroad at public expense. It's just that the school now has fewer students, and the number of people who go abroad every year is not enough for the imperial court's quota. ”

Zhu Changlin and Zhu Qiangui looked at each other and knew each other. Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family has suffered many misfortunes, first the people are in trouble, and the whole family was killed after the defeat of Wugang, when only one little master fled from the palace under the desperate cover of the family slaves. The master and servant went all the way south to the Tanzhou area, and when they saw the Son of Heaven hanging himself and the country overturned, they lived incognito, or teaching or farming, and lived secretly in the world. The Zhu family has been a mediocre family for two hundred years, and it was not until decades ago that it came to run after settling in Tangpo. Zhu Changlin and Zhu Qiangui understand each other's thoughts very well, if you want to keep the family business, you must follow the general trend, although it is bitter for children and grandchildren to go away, but no matter how bitter it is, it is also for the family.

Zhu Changlin said: "Although the old decay is old, the trend of great changes in the world can still be seen clearly. This imperial examination will be abolished this year and next year, but sooner or later. Although the old decay is full of children and grandchildren, there is only one person who can become a tool, and he is only a person. If Master Cai doesn't give up, I hope that the master can recommend one or two. ”

Cai Yuanpei just wanted him to say this, and he was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was embarrassed. Zhu Changlin was mistaken, and hurriedly said: "If there is any expense in the middle, the old man will definitely not embarrass Master Cai." ”

Cai Yuanpei hurriedly shook his head and said, "The people are all for the love of talents, not for personal profit. Although entering Nanyang College is a shortcut to success, the people are also afraid that they will mislead people's children. If the boss really wants to do this, the people should send a telegram to Shanghai to find out about the situation of Nanyang College. ”

Zhu Changlin and others were overjoyed: "It's so annoying to the master, I'm really grateful." There was laughter and laughter for a while, so lively.

In the next few days, Cai Yuanpei, the three children of the Zhu family, met again, and he was indeed the most talented of all the children of the Zhu family, as Sheng Shudong said. This selection, intelligence is important, not smart will inevitably be coaxed in the future, but more important than the wisdom of the temperament, do not have any ambitions, as long as there is benevolence and simplicity, willing to meet and settle down is the best. Chosen and chosen, Cai Yuanpei is still the youngest Zhu Kuantong has a pure character and does not know mundane things, while Zhu Kuanjun and Zhu Kuanhan already know how to pursue fame because they are older.

The candidate must be, Cai Yuanpei expressed his intention to accept Zhu Kuansu as an apprentice under the pretense of Sheng Shudong's mouth, I heard that Master Cai wanted to accept Zhu Kuantong as an apprentice, Zhu Changlin was very happy, with this master-apprentice relationship, then it was not difficult for the descendants of the Zhu family to enter the Nanyang School, and several people solemnly selected the auspicious day to make a grand apprenticeship, and after simply reading "The beginning of man, the nature is good", it can be regarded as enlightenment. Cai Yuanpei was overjoyed and gave Zhu Kuantong the pocket watch he had carried for many years. Seven-year-old Zhu Kuantong still has the unique confusion of a child, of course, he still knows the rules of receiving the master's gift, only to see his little adult appearance solemnly take the pocket watch with both hands, and speak in Hunan dialect: "Comfort, sir." Cai Yuanpei saw that he was cute and laughed when he heard the words.

A few days later, Wang Jitong's telegram from Shanghai arrived, relying on Cai Yuanpei's strong relationship with the former school premier Zhang Yuanji, Nanyang College gave three lower house indicators, of course, as Cai Yuanpei and others expected, the lower house must be at least ten years old to enroll. Under Cai Yuanpei's suggestion, Zhu Kuantong will also go to Shanghai to study with several other children, but he will follow Cai Yuanpei, and Cai Yuanpei will urge him to study and wait for the right age to study at Nanyang College. Staying at Zhu's house until the end of the month, Cai Yuanpei proposed that the school should return to Shanghai as soon as possible when the school opened in September, and Zhu Changlin and others also thought it was time to go to Shanghai and began to arrange their trips. In addition to booking the ferry ticket for a few days, the Zhu family was afraid that the child would be affected in the field, so the maid and the nurse suddenly got a bunch of people to accompany them.

After receiving the telegram that Cai Yuanpei was about to return, the entire Fuxing Society knew that this plan was relieved, and the matter was finally half done, and the other half was missing. In the past few days of waiting, Cai Yuanpei went to Tanzhou City to visit Huang Huangwu again, after all, Huaxing will be about to move, and he has not visited Tanzhou for so long, whether it is comradeship or revolutionary friendship, he should go to see it. The headquarters of the Huaxing Association is in the Mingde School, and the address left by Huang Yuanpei before Huang Yuanwu is also here, but when Cai Yuanpei went to Mingde to inquire about Huang Yuanwu, the person on the other side glanced at Cai Yuanpei and asked, "Full of one heart?" ”

"Settle it face to face." Cai Yuanpei replied, this is the joint code of the Huaxing Society, and Huang Xuanwu told him when he was on the ship.

When the other party saw that the incision was on top, he asked again: "But Mr. Cai from Shanghai?" ”

Seeing that the other party knew him, Cai Yuanpei didn't think about it, and said happily: "Exactly." Where is Mr. Huang? ”

The man on the other side said, "Please come with me, sir." "Say it, turn around and walk out. Cai Yuanpei did not doubt that he had him, and he was a young man who went out of school, entered alleys and walked out of short streets, and twisted and twisted around Tanzhou City. Finally, half an hour later, the other party took him to a Western Anglican and asked him to wait for a while before going up to report. Cai Yuanpei looked at the statue of Christ in the Holy Communion and suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder that Huang Xuanwu lost his braids and was not afraid of being investigated by the government, it turned out that he had joined the foreign religion, which was really a good way. When he was praising him, he saw Huang Xuanwu running out of it, and he stretched out his hand from a distance to shake hands with him.

Cai Yuanpei saw that he was enthusiastic and smiled, although he was not used to this kind of Western etiquette, he still reached out and shook hands with him. Huang Yuwu said happily: "Mr. Cai is really here." Last time Wuchang said goodbye, I didn't hear from Mr. in Tanzhou for so long, and I thought that Mr. had returned to Shanghai. Coming to the noon today is really a disappointment, a disappointment. As he spoke, he welcomed Cai Yuanpei in.

The two went up to the attic of the church, and Huang Xuanwu said mysteriously: "Don't hide it, sir, we are going to prepare for the tenth day of October, and we will do something on Cixi's birthday." Now that the local congresses have completed contact, there are more than 100,000 people in Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei, Sichuan, and other places who respond. On the day of the event, Changsha will start first, and Huguang will be full of smoke......"

Since Huang Huangwu returned to Tanzhou, he forgot to sleep and eat, and he was too tired to deal with various affairs in advance. Cai Yuanpei looked at him with bloodshot eyes, and he was still enthusiastic about introducing the general situation of the Tanzhou incident, and he suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, although he also agreed with Yang Rui's uprising strategy of "accumulation and delay", but how could this situation not make him feel it. He waited for Huang Huangwu to finish speaking, and said, "Hey, Keqiang, now the Revival Society really doesn't have the strength to do anything." If there is, I will definitely mention that yì will give corresponding righteousness in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places. Seeing that Huang Xuanwu's interest had decreased a lot, he said again: "Keqiang, now all affairs are being prepared, but what can I help?" ”

It seems that the Revival Society really has no armed organization for the time being, Huang Xuanwu thought. Seeing Cai Yuanpei asking, he said: "The four hundred guns that Mr. Wang gave us last time, although the guns are old, they are all eight quick robberies, and the brothers have tried it, and they all said that it is very good." Mr. Cai, can you talk to Mr. Wang, sell us more quick robberies and ammunition, "Guns are the first priority, and the parties participating in the meeting now do not have fast guns, they are all knives and forks, and at most there are only birds, so Huang Xuanwu said this." "I also know that your club's guns were also bought, and all of them were transferred to us, but can you go to the foreigners to buy some more, not much, just 400 guns!"

Cai Yuanpei was not familiar with arms and the like, but he also knew that Fuxing would have a gun, and he knew that this gun was brought back by Yang Rui from overseas. It's just that Wang Jitong is serious about doing things, and he said that if there is no one, there should really be no more. He said: "As long as foreigners can buy it, it is not difficult for us to help buy it." However, the move is scheduled for October, and now the time is very short, and I am afraid that it will be too late to buy it from abroad and then ship it to Tanzhou. ”

Huang Xuanwu had already thought of this question, and he said: "Regardless of the length of time, now ask Mr. to send a telegram to Shanghai, then it is still too late to buy from abroad in three months." ”

Cai Yuanpei thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll send a telegram in a while." If you can buy it, you will definitely help you, and you will buy it. ”
