The discussion with Uncle Li was just an interlude. It didn't affect Jiang Chen and the others much. Three days later, the group boarded the train.
However, during this period of time, Cai Yuanpei could not help but focus his gaze on Xue Sen.
He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but along the way, Cai Yuanpei had clearly seen how serious and hardworking this young man was. What made him even more incredulous was the content of the young man's study.
"Little fellow, can I borrow your book to take a look?”
Cai Yuanpei said with a smile.
As he spoke, Xuesen's gaze involuntarily landed on Jiang Chen.
"If you are interested, of course!”
"Xuesen, show it to Master Cai!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile. The books that Xue Sen brought out were naturally not shocking, so there was nothing wrong with giving them to Cai Yuanpei.
"Thank you so much!"
Cai Yuanpei quickly thanked him and picked up a book to read.
"Duke Cai, this is just a work of mine in my spare time. It can't wait for an elegant hall!”
Jiang Chen explained with a smile.
These books were not available in this era, so he could only install them for himself.
As for the rest, he wasn't too interested in participating.
"Teacher, this is a masterpiece.”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Cai Yuanpei was undoubtedly more interested.
His gaze was completely fixed on it.
After an unknown period of time.
The train heading north was rushing forward.
When the setting sun was added to the evening sky and the rays of light dispersed, Cai Yuanpei finally moved away from the book.
"Mister's talent is unprecedented.”
"The secondary teaching materials are concise and logical. I'm afraid it will be of great benefit to the way of teaching.”
Cai Yuanpei put down the books and sighed.
"Cai Gong is too kind!"
Jiang Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"No, this is not an overpraise. Sir, I have a request. I wonder if Sir can agree?”
Cai Yuanpei shook his head and spoke to Jiang Chen with a serious expression.
"Duke Cai, please speak!"
Jiang Chen's expression turned serious.
"It's like this. Sir, are you willing to participate in the compilation of Peking University's teaching materials? With you joining us, our teaching materials can be taught to the people of the country and reach the world.”Cai Yuanpei did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
If he had only had this idea before, after reading this textbook, this idea had completely taken shape. Now, he could not wait to say it.
"""Writing materials?"
Jiang Chen muttered to himself. He was surprised. He didn't expect Cai Yuanpei to make such a request.
However, after thinking about it, he still agreed.
He had knowledge of the future, and his mind contained an endless treasure trove.
If he didn't have the ability to do so before, then he did have the ability to do so at this moment.
"Sure!"
"Thank you, Duke Cai!"
Jiang Chen agreed.
When Cai Yuanpei heard Jiang Chen agree, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had invited Jiang Chen, he didn't have any arrangements for what Jiang Chen would teach or do. Now that Jiang Chen was willing to join, it was undoubtedly the best.
"This isn't a compliment, but a great kindness from you, sir.”
Cai Yuanpei said with a smile.
They chatted along the way.
Over a month.
Everyone finally arrived in Beiping.
The current Beiping was undoubtedly different from the old Yuan Dynasty.
Beiping during Old Yuan's time could be said to be tense and turbulent.
However, with Old Yuan's death and Li Yuanhong's return, everything seemed to have returned to its original state.
On June 7, 1916, the day after Yuan Shikai's death, Li Yuanhong took up his post at the mansion in Dongchang Alley. After Li Yuanhong took office, all parties called to request the restoration of the "People's Constitution" and the "People's Congress" to formulate the election law. After November 4, 1913, the Yuan family forged the system and punished the culprit. All measures must be in accordance with the temporary agreement, in order to resolve the chaos of the current situation, comfort the people's desire for peace, and consolidate the foundation of the Republic of China.
Now that it was 1917, the whole of Beiping was basically in a period of stability. However, how long this period of stability could last was probably up to the heavens.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Peking University.
When they arrived at Peking University again.
Jiang Chen had another experience of complete trust. He stepped here two years ago.
At that time, he was full of vigor and left a mark on this era and this nation.
In this magnificent era, no matter how much he changed, he was destined to leave his mark. This time, he had come again, but time and his mentality had changed.
Every time, he wanted to make a name for himself, and at this moment, he was for this nation, for this country.
His heartbeat, his gaze, and even his pursuit had all undergone a fundamental change.
"Sir, please!"
"Duke Cai, please!"
The two of them wanted to give up.
Then, under the escort of the instructors, they entered the Peking University campus.
Compared to two years ago, the Peking University campus was undoubtedly affected by the turmoil. There were fewer students and the campus seemed to have lost its usual vitality.
After arriving at Peking University.
Cai Yuanpei first arranged Jiang Chen's inauguration.
Then, he began to deal with his matters.
On November 8, 1916, Cai Yuanpei and Wu Yuzhang returned to China by boat from Marseille and arrived in Shanghai. On December 26, 1916, he was appointed as the president of Peking University. Support the new culture, advocate academic research, advocate "freedom of thought, inclusive", implement professor governance.
On January 4, 1917, Cai Yuanpei became the president of Peking University and implemented the university restructuring.
But now, because of Jiang Chen's matter, it was delayed by a month. On February 4th, Cai Yuanpei became the president of Peking University and implemented the university's restructuring.
However, it was the same as in history.
On this day, in the huge Peking University square.
Cai Yuanpei's voice was transmitted to the entire campus through the loudspeaker.
"Soaring Dragon Abyss, scales and claws flying. The tiger roared in the valley, and all the beasts were frightened. Eagles and falcons try their wings, and the wind and dust spread. Strange flowers are born, and they are beautiful. Gan will use the whetstone, there is a sharp edge. The sky is covered with green, and the earth is covered with yellow. Even if there are thousands of years, there are eight wastelands. The future is like the sea, and the future is long. My young China is so beautiful that I won't grow old with the sky! The young man of China is so strong that he has no boundaries with the country. Everyone, remember this. First, hold on to the purpose. Second, sharpen your virtue. Third, respect your teachers. Put "holding on to the purpose" first.!”
Accompanied by warm applause, the inauguration of Peking University's president came to an end.
Then, under the shocked eyes of the whole country, Jiang Chen announced that he would join Peking University. Cai Yuanpei appointed Jiang Chen as a tenured honorary professor of Peking University and an honorary president of Peking University.
Once this news was released, it was not just Peking University that was shocked.
The entire Huaxia region was shaken.
Who was Jiang Chen? He was the founder of the new culture and the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
No one had expected Cai Yuanpei to favor this person.
The most direct manifestation of this was that the troublesome matter of Cai Yuanpei taking over Peking University had disappeared in an instant. Everything had become exceptionally smooth.
Whether it was the teachers or the students, Peking University was extremely cooperative.
It's just that the teachers and students of Peking University are excited.
Cai Yuanpei could not help but feel a headache.
"Sir, are you sure you want to teach history?”
His words were filled with shock and disbelief.
Although what Jiang Chen taught wasn't important, for Peking University, the most important thing was for Jiang Chen to join.
However, he, Cai Yuanpei, was not doing it for fame. He was doing it for the country and the people.
He originally thought Jiang Chen would teach vernacular or chemistry.
After all, vernacular literature was the beginning of a new culture, and its modern poetry had amazed the entire era.
Not to mention chemistry. He was a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry.
But he didn't expect Jiang Chen to choose to teach history.
"Yes, teaching history!"
"But don't worry, Master Cai. If there's any talent, I'll choose to teach them science!”
Jiang Chen nodded and confirmed his words.
His choice was indeed history.
In this era, what the Chinese lacked the most was not talent, but confidence.
This self-confidence had completely collapsed after the Opium War. A country, a nation, losing self-confidence was far more tragic than losing anything else.
As for saving the country with science…
This was indeed correct.
However, if one's thoughts could not be changed, if one did not have confidence in this country and this nation, how could one talk about rejuvenating the country?
Moreover, it wasn't that he didn't teach them.
Instead, he was prepared to take a look first and choose the outstanding ones to teach.
After all, his experience was limited.
If they wanted to cultivate a true national talent, they had to put in all their effort. This could not be accomplished by general teaching. It had to be an elite education.
And this was undoubtedly not that easy.
Therefore, Jiang Chen was prepared to teach history and then choose the potential students to conduct science related education.
"Is that so?"
"That's possible!"
Cai Yuanpei pondered for a moment. After listening to Jiang Chen's explanation, he understood.
"Master Cai, I think there should be some positions in the university, such as master's degree, which is also a graduate student. Masters, big,”
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and casually voiced his thoughts.
As he spoke, Cai Yuanpei was stunned for a moment before his eyes gradually lit up.
"Mister is really talented."
"Master's degree, master's degree, I understand!”
Cai Yuanpei's bright eyes flickered with various colors, which eventually turned into excitement.
Obviously, Jiang Chen's words hit the nail on the head.
Indeed, university education seemed to be extremely important to Peking University, but it seemed to be missing something. At the very least, there was still a huge gap between them and the top universities overseas.
He had been thinking about how to improve or solve this problem.
Jiang Chen's words undoubtedly opened a door for him.
It was true that large-scale education was universal, but the key was that it lacked the core of elite education.
That's right, the core of elite education was missing.
Since ancient times, China had relied on elite education.
This was also the fundamental reason why most of the so-called talents did not come from the directorate.
Because he lacked an elite education.
Now, Jiang Chen's proposal undoubtedly directly supplemented this point.
Cai Yuanpei's eyes lit up as he thought of this. Finally, he couldn't wait to discuss it with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen didn't hide anything, but slowly explained the complete system of graduate students and masters.
"Basic education is the basic education of the people. It includes early childhood education, primary education, junior middle school education, and senior middle school education. Higher education was an education that trained high-level talents in society, including higher education, undergraduate education, and postgraduate education.”
"Postgraduate students are mainly divided into master's and PhD students. According to the type of degree, they are divided into academic graduate students and professional graduate students.”
"Master's degree students are subject to the credit system. Just like undergraduate students, the courses include compulsory courses and electives. Generally speaking, academic master's degree students would study for three years, while professional master's degree students would study for two years.”
"Sir, please continue!"
.....
The conversation continued. Cai Yuanpei had completely opened a new door to education. This perfect education system from the later generations had deeply shocked him and shocked him.
It gave him a new understanding of Jiang Chen and the entire master's system.
Time slowly passed as they conversed.
It wasn't until night fell that Cai Yuanpei ended the conversation, but this time, the way he looked at Jiang Chen changed again.
It was admiration.
It was also admiration.
Jiang Chen's talent far exceeded his imagination. Not only did he have extraordinary achievements in vernacular and chemistry, but he also had a more advanced understanding of the education system.
