Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Since Ye Zhikui has come to Peking University, of course he has to visit first

"Xu Gong!".

Ye Zhikui arched his hands with a smile on his face, and saluted.

"President, this is a private visit on Weibo, and I caught the old man by surprise."Xu Jingcheng said jokingly.

Ye Zhikui smiled and followed Xu Jingcheng's words: "There is a way that true gold is not afraid of fire, but Ye Mou just passed by here today to go to the agricultural experiment field."

The two walked and talked, and they passed by the teaching building not long after. Ye Zhikui saw that the atmosphere in one of the classrooms was particularly strong. Argue.

Chinese students are recognized as the most well-behaved students in the world, why?Maybe when I was in elementary school, I was naughty and would ask questions and speak enthusiastically. However, as I grow older, when I arrive at university, there are very few questions and answers.

Glancing inside, Ye Zhikui was curious as to who the teacher saw was Cai Yuanpei, and then he smiled.

Before the establishment of the government of the Republic of China, Cai Yuanpei was the editor of the Hanlin Academy. The Hanlin Academy was the highest-level group of scholars in traditional society, and most of the characters in it were Jinshi.

People like Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzao, Zhang Zhidong, Xu Shichang and Cai Yuanpei all came from the Imperial Academy.

However, Ye Zhikui didn't like this group of people very much. The Imperial Academy would inevitably be revoked, and the Hanlin Qunxiu would either join the National Think Tank, or be hired as a teacher in a large or small school, or work in a department, or find their own way out.

At that time, Ye Zhikui saw Cai Yuanpei's name, so he transferred him to Peking University to teach on his own initiative, and first let him go to Europe and the United States for a year of study and study. It is estimated that he has just returned to China not long ago.

Because he had just submitted an opinion to the academic department not long ago, Sun Jiading knew that Cai Yuanpei was appointed by Ye Zhikui to go abroad for inspection. Although he was noncommittal about his opinion, he still handed it over to Ye Zhikui.

After Ye Zhikui read it, he was a little funny, because Cai Yuanpei actually proposed a separate school for boys and girls. Thinking that he had asked to open a girls' school not long ago, he had encountered a lot of trouble, and there would be trouble for himself, so he criticized Cai Yuanpei's opinion: step forward If it is too big, it will hurt easily.

It is estimated that Cai Yuanpei will definitely feel pain after seeing Ye Zhikui's instructions.

The reason why Ye Zhikui didn't like to see the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy was because although there were one or two of them who were talented and virtuous, most of them lacked integrity and suffered from political rickets.

Thinking back to the Thai and Han Dynasties, the emperor was respected in the south according to the legal system, and the king came to China: scholars relied on the orthodoxy to live and live, and inherited civilization.The emperor can use a sharp knife to live and die, honor and disgrace scholars: scholars can criticize and criticize the monarch with a bald pen.

The emperor confers official titles on the scholars, and the scholars support the monarch with intelligence.

The dual factors of the need for scholars and the awe of history make the monarch dare not be too arrogant and do whatever he wants: and scholars can also sell their talents and learn them to the court, waiting for a price.

The owner may seek intellectual support and respect the corporal, such as Liu Beizhi's third request to Zhuge; or suppress his anger in order not to leave a thousand years of infamy, such as Cao Cao's non-cutting.

Scholars may resign from office to maintain their natural nature, such as Tao Qian's picking chrysanthemums in the east fence; Stability, the Chinese culture is prosperous in stability.

The legacy is that with the increasing concentration of monarchy, the relationship between monarch and ministers has evolved from sitting in the Han and Tang Dynasties to discussing Taoism and obeying orders in the Song Dynasty, to kneeling and asking for orders in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The relationship between superiority and inferiority is absolute and rigid.

This was especially true in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a total of more than [-] years in the Luo Zhiwen Prison, and finally the intellectual circles formed a sad situation where all horses were silent and aphasia.

Exploring the depths of the Qing emperor's mind, the inferiority complex brought about by the low culture over the high and the fear brought by the small number of people are intertwined, causing them to be anxious and allergic all day long.

They valued the Manchurian Hanlin, especially the Manchurian Hanlin, and regarded them as confidantes, and through them, they drove and transformed the Han Hanlin, so that they finally became the eagle dogs of the emperor almost without knowing their integrity.

What he did not only made it impossible to find the integrity of the Donglin Party that was still retained by the scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty until the Qing Dynasty, but also contributed to the formation of the political hypochondriac and lack of integrity of many intellectuals in modern times and even today. Responsibility that cannot be shirked.

Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Zeng Guofan and others did not dare to rebel at the end of their lives, which is not unrelated to this.

Shaking his head, Ye Zhikui put these messy thoughts to the back of his mind. Fortunately, the Imperial Academy has produced some talents, and Ye Zhikui's mood also improved when he saw that Cai Yuanpei, who was so heavy, really lived up to his expectations.

It didn't matter that Ye Zhikui stood still, but Xu Jingcheng next to him was in a hurry.

His heart skipped a beat, and looking at the noisy classroom, he couldn't help cursing Cai Yuanpei in his heart, Cai Apei, Cai Apei, I told you a long time ago not to behave too outrageously, now it's all right, you were caught by the Generalissimo.

Xu Jingcheng smiled awkwardly and said to Ye Zhikui: "Cai Yuanpei just came back from abroad, and he is not very used to the teacher-student way in China. The Generalissimo laughed at him."

Ye Zhikui was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that Xu Jingcheng was afraid that he secretly didn't like to excuse Cai Yuanpei's style.

Shaking his head, Ye Zhikui said: "Why did Mr. Xu say that? I love my teacher, but I love the truth more. Very good, very good!"

Now it was Xu Jingcheng's turn to be stunned. After thinking about it, Ye Zhikui came from a rebellious background, and it was quite normal for him to be somewhat rebellious.

Ye Zhikui did not disturb the teachers and students in the school, but left quietly with Xu Jingcheng.

The more we talked, the more Ye Zhikui felt that Xu Jingcheng was a bit rigid in thinking and full of bureaucracy. Maybe he was qualified as a diplomat, but he was still a bit inferior to be the chief professor of the leading university in China.

Hey, in China, if you want to find officials, you can grab a lot of them, but finding one or two serious scientists is more difficult than reaching the sky. It is better to use money to open the way and hire more talents from abroad, because this The era is the era of science without borders.

Ye Zhikui was a little depressed, and he was silent all the way. After a while, he came to the agricultural experiment field with Xu Jingcheng, Yang Du and others.

The agricultural experiment field is relatively remote, but it is huge. There are ten acres of fertile land, where wheat, sorghum, corn and other crops are planted. The golden fruits made Ye Zhikui's stern face finally relax.

This year is a bumper year.

Xu Jingcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Being with you is like accompanying a tiger. Along the way, his mood also fluctuated with Ye Zhikui's face.

"President, the test field is set up in the north and the south. The north is here, and the south is Hainan Island. All the crops from the north and the south are collected, and finally the high-quality and high-yielding crops will be selected." Xu Jingcheng explained from the side.

Ye Zhikui nodded. In fact, what he valued was the one in the south, and he hoped that the hybrid rice would be selected as soon as possible. However, although he knew Yuan Longping, he did not understand the process of hybrid rice selection in detail. I found an aborted plant with wild male flowers, bred it with ordinary rice, and finally produced hybrid rice.

Ye Zhikui dragged his wrists and sighed, secretly hating himself for not working hard in his studies, so he had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to ask Peking University to set up an agricultural experiment field in Hainan, and asked them to search for wild sterile rice everywhere, and imported it from Southeast Asian countries. With the power of a school, Yuan Longping was able to discover and successfully breed different types of rice in hybrid experiments. Ye Zhikui did not believe that with the power of a country, there would be no hope.

"That's right. Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people. The land is limited, but the yield per mu has been increasing under constant exploration. If the test site can speed up this speed, it will be a blessing to the country." Ye Zhikui made no secret of his importance to farming.

"Be careful, this wheat might be worth tens of thousands of gold."

Ye Zhikui looked left and right, even took off his shoes, stepped barefoot on the slightly wet field ridge, turned around the sorghum field, and suddenly saw three dark-skinned middle-aged men in the wheat field, carefully surrounding a wheat field Next to them, they were discussing softly while carefully recording.

As for their arrival, those who focused on wheat obviously didn't see it.

"Why are you so surprised?" Ye Zhikui asked suddenly as he walked over on tiptoe.

Ah!

One of the men holding the wheat was frightened by this, and his hands shook, almost dropping the wheat seeds to the ground.

"Brother, this is my treasure. You almost lost it." The man gave Ye Zhikui a reproachful look, and Shi Shiran blamed him.

There are a lot of wheat scattered on the ground. If his handful fell, it would be really difficult to separate them.

"you are?"

The three men regained their composure and raised their heads, looking at Ye Zhikui curiously. Although they thought this person looked familiar, they didn't expect him to be Ye Zhikui.

Ye Zhikui apologized with an embarrassing smile: "Seeing the brothers and sisters gathered together, I thought there was something strange and out of curiosity, I was startled. I hope you will forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay!" The leader wanted to say more, but Xu Jingcheng and others who were left behind by Ye Zhikui appeared in time.

"Xianhai, meet the President soon!" Xu Jingcheng stretched his neck and shouted from a long distance away.

"President?!" The three men opened their mouths wide, and the person who apologized to himself and others just now turned out to be the President.

Xu Jingcheng hurried over and introduced Ye Zhikui: "President, this is Zhong Guanguang, the owner of the test site, Zhong Xianhai, and the other two are his good Sixiang Yu Zuhui, Yu Heqin. They founded in their hometown Zhenhai Chaiqiao" The Siming Reality Society "and began to experiment with the production of phosphorus. Xianhai Zhou searched for plants in various mountains inside and outside Beijing, and devoted himself to the study of botany. Li Shanlan Li Lao translated "Botany" by him. He recently turned to the Austrian Mendel The genetics became obsessed again.
