After dawn, after Yan Yuting learned the news of Qiao Zhiqing's assassination, she hurriedly returned to Qiao Zhiqing's courtyard with a big belly and Xiaoying's support.The guest hall was crowded at this time, all of whom were people who had learned the news last night and came to visit.After Qiao Zhiqing saluted everyone one by one, he hurriedly urged everyone to disperse.Today is not only the day of the issuance of banknotes, but also the day of the opening of Huaxing Academy.As soon as Qiao Zhiqing opened his eyes, the itinerary had been scheduled for the evening, where was there still time to greet them."
Zhiqing, are you okay" Yan Yuting exclaimed at Qiao Zhiqing as soon as she entered the room, and stepped forward to take his palm and look up and down to see what was missing."
It's okay, what can I do, what are you running around with such a big belly" Qiao Zhiqing was a little unhappy and let Xiaoying help her sit down."
If Ziyou hadn't informed me in the morning, you really planned to hide everything from me.If such a big thing happened in the house, as your wife, you have the right to know. ”Yan Yuting said without giving in, her face full of coquettishness."
Wei Ziyou, why is this girl so mouthful, I'm also afraid that you know that you have a fetal gas.What else did she tell you" Qiao Zhiqing's heart tightened, for fear that Wei Ziyou would tell Yan Yuting what he had explained yesterday."
It's nothing, what's the matter, do you have something else to hide from me" Yan Yuting stared at Qiao Zhiqing with a sly look."
No, that's it.Ziyou is your person, and I won't tell you everything. ”Qiao Zhiqing hurriedly shook his head, for fear that this vinegar jar would see some clues.Yan Yuting can accommodate any woman by her side, but I don't know why she just doesn't want to see Zeng Jiyun.Perhaps her parents died at the hands of Zeng Guofan, and she was naturally hostile to the Zeng family."
Alright, you're fine, I don't want to worry about these things anymore.Don't make any fools while I'm away, and if I let me know, I'll make you look good. ”Yan Yuting pouted and twisted Qiao Zhiqing's arm fiercely, and her demeanor became more and more like a lady in charge, and even her temper has grown since she was pregnant with a child."
Got it, you should hurry back to my sister's place, don't make any more trouble for me."
Qiao Zhiqing grinned in pain, and had to smile bitterly and comfort.With that strange expression, even Xiao Ying behind Yan Yuting covered her mouth and laughed.After Yan Yuting left proudly, Qiao Zhiqing went to the new campus of Huaxing Academy in Nanjing under the escort of the left army.Because the pro-soldiers are still under investigation, they are also temporarily on vacation.The academy was built on the site of the former Confucius Temple, and the Taiping army has always been responsible for eliminating demons and ghosts and establishing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.Everywhere he went, he smashed Confucian temples, burned temples, destroyed Taoism, and only allowed the people to believe in worshipping God.Nanjing's Confucius Temple was naturally swept away, and even Confucius's ranking was burned clean by Hong Xiuquan.As soon as Qiao Zhiqing settled in Nanjing, he asked people to repair the Confucius Temple.is intended to use this to win the hearts of scholars all over the world, although he is dissatisfied with these rotten Confucians who only know how to read and become officials, but there are only a few people who are literate now, and they can only be enveloped.If you want to change, it will not be completed in a while, and you can only rely on the next generation of young people.After Wei Guodong became the mayor of Nanjing, in order to solve the problem of displaced people outside the city, several major projects were carried out one after another.Huaxing Academy is one of them, and tens of thousands of people participated in the construction of Huaxing Academy.The original Confucius Temple has been expanded tenfold, covering an area of more than 2,000 acres.In fact, Qiao Zhiqing learned this solution to the problem of displaced people based on the United States in later generations.Before World War II, the United States experienced a severe economic crisis, and millions of people lost their jobs in an instant.For this reason, Roosevelt, who had just assumed the presidency at the time, adopted the method of cash-for-work and successively embarked on many large projects.This not only provides jobs for the unemployed, but also expands the country's infrastructure.The new college is divided into three parts: office area, teaching area, and residential area, and today's opening ceremony was held in the square in front of the office building.Flags fluttered in the square, and students wore brand new uniforms, with half male and female students.As soon as Qiao Zhiqing was on the road, all the students looked back one after another.I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and the applause immediately resounded all over the world.Qiao Zhiqing waved to the students with great energy, and strode onto the rostrum under the escort of the left army.Wang Tao, the new president of Huaxing Academy, hurriedly led the teachers of the college to greet him.Feng Guifen didn't want to move around because of her advanced age, so she became the dean of Suzhou Academy.Nanjing Mayor Wei Guodong had no choice but to write a letter and move his best friend Wang Tao out.Wang Tao was also one of the best thinkers in the late Qing Dynasty, when he was in Shanghai to advise the Taiping Army.After Li Hongzhang occupied Shanghai, Wang Tao was forced into exile in Hong Kong.The first Chinese newspaper in Shanghai, Liuhe Congtan, was founded by Wang Tao, and he had a very good relationship with Wei Guodong when he was in Shanghai."
Your Excellency, I can see you."
Wang Tao stepped forward and clasped Qiao Zhiqing's right hand, his face full of excitement.He heard of Qiao Zhiqing's name when he was in Shanghai, but at that time he still had expectations for the Taiping Army, and only felt that Qiao Zhiqing was another minion of the Qing court, so the two never met."
Dean Wang, I also admire the great name, and I have never had the opportunity to meet."
Qiao Zhiqing responded with a smile, full of respect.Wang Tao felt a little flattered in his heart for a while, but he didn't expect the president of this new government to be so approachable."
President, I will visit the palace again when I have the opportunity in the future, and it is time for me to make an opening speech."
Wang Tao trembled and nodded, his self-esteem was greatly satisfied.Intellectuals are all the same people, and sometimes face is more important than fame and fortune.Qiao Zhiqing waved on the rostrum, signaling everyone to be quiet.Because there is no microphone, there is also a special person under the rostrum who is responsible for voice transmission.The voices of the students gradually subsided, and the square fell silent, and there were tens of thousands of pairs of eyes staring straight at Qiao Zhiqing.Because most of the first batch of students of Huaxing Academy with a one-year degree served in the new government, this kind of education has a much greater chance of success than the imperial examination.Huaxing College has suddenly become the first choice for all students, and almost all talents from all over the south of the Yangtze River have gathered here."
Hello teachers of Huaxing Academy, hello students, and hello guests present."
Qiao Zhiqing said hello with a smile and continued to preach, "A year ago, Huaxing Academy was still in Suzhou.At that time, I remember telling your seniors that in less than a year, we will definitely create a new era.Today, I am confident that this new era has arrived, and that you will be at the helm of this era in the future. ”Qiao Zhiqing paused, because the scene had already begun to cheer.The students couldn't hold back their admiration and shouted loudly, "Long live President Joe, long live President Joe." ”At this time, Qiao Zhiyuan was standing in the audience, and he went to Huaxing Academy yesterday to sign up.Looking at his younger brother on the rostrum, Qiao Zhiyuan suddenly had a strange feeling.It seems that that person is just wearing the face of his younger brother, but what he does has nothing to do with his younger brother.Qiao Zhiqing waved his hand, and after the square was quiet, he spoke again, "Today Huaxing Academy is a new beginning, and your coming to Huaxing Academy today is also a new beginning.New China is also a new beginning.I hope that the students, like that Chaoyang, can learn from their strengths here, contribute to the new China, and create brilliance. ”"Long live the president, long live the president."
The scene has been reached, and the cheers have come and gone.Qiao Zhiqing has slowly gotten used to the feeling of being embraced.After greeting each other with the students, Dean Wang Tao personally led them around the college.At this time, it is just the spring equinox, but the green willow flowers in the south of the Yangtze River are all blooming.Qiao Zhiqing walked on the willow-lined stone road, and suddenly felt like he was back on campus life."
President, please see, this is the practice ground, there is the library over there, and next to the library is the student cafeteria."
Wang Tao pointed to all kinds of buildings on the side, and kept introducing them to Qiao Zhiqing.To Qiao Zhiqing's surprise, the library and student cafeteria turned out to be European-style buildings.The spherical roof, tall Roman columns, and pure white walls are very conspicuous in the academy."
Is the library open to students now" Qiao Zhiqing asked curiously, secretly admiring Wei Guodong's ability.In a short period of time, it has also taken a lot of effort to build Huaxing Academy."
Not yet, the construction period is too tight, and the main building has just been completed.Waiting for the printing house to bind all kinds of books into a book, it will also be fully open to students after the summer of this year. ”Wang Tao greeted Qiao Zhiqing and the guests behind him while introducing, and entered the library to visit."
The library is the heart of a college, and the key to the success of the college depends on whether the library is good or not.Students can absorb nutrients and increase their knowledge through this extracurricular time.The college must be willing in this regard, and if you have any difficulties, just come to me. ”Qiao Zhiqing looked at the bookshelves that had been neatly stacked in the hall, and reminded Wang Tao with a frown."
The problem now is that there are too few famous books from abroad.There are only five or six famous masterpieces, and they are all translated by people who know Spanish in the academy.This is a waste of time and a lot of mistakes.If only the president could set up a translation bureau to specialize in the introduction of advanced ideas from outside.I believe that the efficiency will be much higher, and the quality will be greatly improved. ”Wang Tao recounted the difficulties, full of helplessness."
I think of a way to do this, and your library should also include more books on traditional Chinese thought.We must not give up food because of choking, and we cannot say that Chinese culture is all dross, and Western culture is all nutrition.Whether it is Confucianism, Mohistism, Legalism or Taoism, we must learn and apply it lively, and be tolerant and progressive. ”Qiao Zhiqing reminded with emotion, thinking of the abandoned Chinese culture in his time, he was full of regret.Later generations are completely addicted to materialism and wealth, and there is no trace of courtesy, righteousness and shame, which is not unrelated to the loss of traditional culture
