Capital University might not be famous.
But what about Peking University? Who didn't know?
The Capital University was the predecessor of Peking University, established in 1898.
This was all a good thing done by Guangxu, but because of the reform of 1898, the Capital University was implicated, and it was only after Chen Ling conquered the capital that it reopened.
"Prepare the carriage for the capital's university."
Chen Ling immediately ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, Chen Ling arrived at the Capital University.
After entering the Capital University, Chen Ling had the soldiers inform the students not to disturb their studies.
As they walked and strolled, Chen Ling's frown deepened.
"Qingyuan, I saw that many teachers did not teach. The students were studying by themselves.”
After walking around, Chen Ling came to the Chief Instructor's office and asked Yan Qingyuan.
At this time, there was no professor or dean to say anything.
The teachers of the Capital University were called instructors, and the principal was called chief instructor.
"Your Majesty, those students who can only study by themselves are all students who study western learning. The western teachers had already left the capital during the 1898 reform.”Yan Qingyuan replied with his head lowered.
In fact, this was a lie. The real reason was that Chen Ling had ordered the expulsion of the embassy staff and then declared war on the Western powers, causing these people to leave.
But could he say that?
Therefore, he could only let Cixi take the blame. Anyway, there were indeed western teachers who left at that time. He was just exaggerating a little.
"Is that so…Then can these students learn by themselves?”Chen Ling nodded and asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, it's very difficult. There are some special translated names that we don't understand at all.”
"Hmm, other than that, are there any other difficulties?”
"Your Majesty, we also lack books, especially books on western learning.”
"I understand."
Chen Ling nodded and left after understanding the predicament of the Capital University.
Truthfully speaking, after seeing the situation at the Capital University, Chen Ling felt very depressed.
The revival of a country was inseparable from talents.
In this era, the talents needed were not one-sided, but from all sides.
However, in the current situation, the Chinese Empire simply could not nurture talents on its own.
Their foundations were too lacking.
They didn't even have enough teachers.
Thinking of this, Chen Ling thought of Germany after World War II.
At that time, Germany was devastated, and the country was basically crippled.
However, the German engineers and professors were still there.
Therefore, after World War II, Germany was rebuilt from the ruins and the country was revived.
But now, all that was left for Chen Ling was a group of pedantic scholars who only knew eight-legged literature and a group of low-level officials who only knew how to corrupt.
MMP！
The more Chen Ling thought about it, the angrier he got. He wished he could run to Guangxu and beat him up to vent his anger.
However, Chen Ling still held back. After all, this had nothing to do with Guangxu, not Guangxu's fault.
After leaving the Capital University, Chen Ling went to the Capital Tongwen Hall.
Compared to the situation at the Capital University, the situation at the Tongwen Institute was much better.
After all, this was not a place where students studied western culture. They only specialized in translation, which was similar to the foreign language universities in the future.
However, the Jingshi Tongwen Institute was also a government department. When the government dealt with foreigners, they were responsible for translating.
Chen Ling returned to the Imperial Palace after a tour and prepared to write a plan for education reform.
In the end, Wu Pingquan ran over after a while.
"Your Majesty, this is the new armistice agreement from the western countries.”Wu Pingquan reported excitedly to Chen Ling.
Chen Ling looked at Wu Pingquan's excited expression and was a little speechless.
Was there a need to be so excited?
Could it be that the western powers had finally come to their senses and prepared a generous gift?
Chen Ling took the agreement curiously and opened it to read it carefully.
"Hehe…I just woke up and am still in a daze.”
Chen Ling curled his lips and said after reading the agreement.
Although this agreement was much better than the previous one, it still did not meet Chen Ling's requirements.
This time, the western countries did not say anything about making the Chinese Empire lose money. They said that it was not good for everyone to continue fighting. If they did not talk directly, they would sign a non-aggression treaty.
Of course, if they wanted to sign this non-aggression pact, the Chinese Empire would have to release the captured soldiers.
At the same time, the western countries were also willing to spend money to redeem their warships. They were willing to spend 50 million taels to redeem more than twenty warships.
"What do you think of this agreement?”
After reading it, Chen Ling asked Wu Pingquan for his opinion. He wanted to know what Wu Pingquan was thinking.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is necessary to sign the armistice agreement. After all, it is meaningless for us to continue fighting with the western powers.
However, the content of this agreement needs to be changed. The most important part is the redemption of the warships, which I think should be rejected.
After all, the Chinese Empire doesn't have a navy. These warships can be used to train our navy.
At the same time, I believe that those captives can be handed over to the western powers, but they have to use money to redeem them.”Wu Pingquan said.
Chen Ling pursed his lips after hearing that. How should he put it?
According to the knowledge of the people of this era, it was already not bad to have such an idea.
Unfortunately, he didn't use such a good card at the crucial point.
What warship? What use are those broken warships?
Would money be of any use if the western countries used money to redeem people?
Industrial equipment, knowledge and technology, and trade agreements were the three most important issues, but they were not raised.
Chen Ling really wanted to scold Wu Pingquan, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
This was not a matter of ability, but a matter of knowledge.
Swoosh swoosh...
Chen Ling took out a pen and began to write a new armistice agreement.
"Go, take this agreement and talk to those envoys. If they don't agree, tell them that we will let those captives mine and build the railway.”Chen Ling said seriously.
Wu Pingquan took the agreement written by Chen Ling. After reading it once, he broke out in cold sweat.
Perhaps he was shocked by the contents of the agreement.
Or was it because he didn't expect Chen Ling to write such content, so he was shocked?
Wu Pingquan left in a cold sweat after reading the new agreement.
