Chapter 9 In class
When Mr. Cai saw Yang Rui directly, he didn't care. He thought for a while and said, "The school is preparing now, teaching aids and teachers are basically ready, and we are planning to start classes tomorrow. We have already arranged our class according to the requirements." After that, he took out a class schedule.
Yang Rui took the class schedule and saw that his class was scheduled on Friday and Saturday mornings. The two classes were held together. It seemed like a big class, and the students from the two classes were put together. Seeing that the arrangement was correct, Yang Rui nodded and had no objection. When did the winter vacation be thought of, he asked again: "It's almost December now, when will the students have winter vacation?"
Mr. Cai took out his school calendar, flipped through it and said, "It's going to be a holiday in Laba. The Western calendar is in early January." After that, he handed over the school calendar.
Yang Rui looked at the school calendar and calculated that it was only six weeks by the end of the semester. There were only twelve classes in each class, which felt that it was too little. Then he said to Mr. Cai: "The time is still relatively small. After changing the textbooks, the time is tight. Premier Cai sees whether he can increase the class hours." Suddenly, Yang Rui saw a name in the lower corner of the school calendar - Prime Minister of the Society: Cai Yuanpei. He was shocked, Cai Yuanpei, was it... Oh, I really met a celebrity? I was not the president of Peking University later. It turned out that he was running a school now, no wonder.
Cai Yuanpei didn't see Yang Rui's expression. The school was first run, and the money was short of it, and the teacher was even more lacking. He originally did not agree to just take someone as a business teacher, but this course was really rare. It was not as easy to find as a teacher of chemistry. He also agreed to Qian Bocong's persuasion to let Yang Rui come to class. Later, he heard that Yang Rui's book Commercial Press was about to be published, so he attached more importance to it. Now he heard that Yang Rui's lectures were not too late and he found work. Not to mention his abilities, he admired his character. After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother, I will discuss with other gentlemen to see if it can be adjusted. If it can be adjusted, you will have three classes a week."
Yang Rui had no objection. Cai Yuanpei said again: "Brother... This... the school society is newly opened, everything is back to be done, and there are some funds for the time being. The salary for class..."
Yang Rui interrupted him and said, "It's easy to say about money. Now the school is in a difficult situation. I just don't pay my salary for the time being. I still have some savings when I eat. When will the school have more funds? Let's get the salary reimbursement."
Cai Yuanpei was moved and said, "I have worked so hard that I became a brother. I thanked the generals of the school on behalf of the people of Jiemin."
Yang Rui smiled and said, "I dare not, it's all for the sake of the students."
The morning meeting was very pleasant. Cai Yuanpei kept sending Yang Rui to the door before stopping. Yang Rui walked home and bought a bunch of newspapers on the way, and the newspaper was still covering the Nanyang Public School withdrawal incident. Some newspapers said that the school was right and some sympathized with students. The Su newspaper often posted articles, but he stood on the standpoint of sympathizing with students, describing the entire process of withdrawing from school in detail, which made Yang Rui understand the matter better. It seemed that he was really an angry young student, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to teach in the future.
Thinking that there will be classes tomorrow, Yang Rui quickly started preparing lessons. Because there was no textbook this time, he had to read the textbook by himself. The two classes were not long or short. How much did he have to read? Yang Rui had never read them before and had no idea. He prepared all the introduction and prepared a lot of the content of the first chapter, which made it dark. This preparation of lessons was much harder than copying books. Who made you too soft? You deserve it? Yang Rui complained in his heart that he had never thought of being a teacher before, but he became a teacher here. It was really fate.
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Yang Rui walked into the classroom on the two floors of the school. The classroom was originally a house, but it was not big after it was opened. Forty or fifty people sat inside, and it was buzzing. The students only saw a man without braids and dressed in a foreign dress and walked in. He knew that this was the teacher. The whole class stood up and bowed, and Yang Rui bowed back to the gift.
The students were dressed in the Qing Dynasty, with bright foreheads and braids, which made Yang Rui feel numb. After the students sat down and started teaching, Yang Rui had never been a teacher before, but he often taught by others. Generally speaking, when the new class started, the teacher bragged for the first class - bragging about how good this class was and how amazing it was. Without this class, the earth would not turn. Now Yang Rui is also speaking according to this idea.
He stood behind the podium, supported his hands in a comfortable posture, and started his lecture: "Dear students, I will start to teach business classes today. My surname is Yang. Because I don't understand Shanghai dialect, I use Beijing dialect to teach. I hope everyone has no problems. Before the class starts, let me talk about my class discipline. First, it is not allowed to be late or leave early. Second, it is not allowed to interfere with the order of the class. Third, if you have any questions in class, you can ask questions at any time. Fourth, if you are not interested in the lecture, you can sleep, but don't affect others."
After Yang Rui finished speaking four points, the students below started to buzz again. Everyone understood the first three points, but the latter one was difficult to understand. For Yang Rui, sleeping in class was natural. He often slept in college. He often read books by himself. As long as he did not make the front row, most teachers agreed with this matter. Yang Rui ignored the students and continued to say: "Dear students, because there are many people in the classroom, the voice of discussing issues should be lower."
The students' voices below calmed down. Listening to Yang Rui's lecture, Yang Rui wrote both Chinese and English in economics on the blackboard. He explained: "The word economy was originally from Japan. They learned the West earlier than us. When translating Western economic works, they borrowed the "economy" in Chinese to make up the word "economy". However, Mr. Yan Fu, who translated "Yuanfu", did not agree with this term and believed that the term "economy" was too great. After all, in our country, it has always believed that the only way of Confucius and Mencius can make the world save the country, so it is translated as "Plant Fu".
Yang Rui said, writing the economy and the world side by side with the plan on the blackboard. He then said: "The reason why I call this science economics today is not that I agree with Japan's statement or Mr. Yan Fu's statement. When people build houses, they often hear their masters say that this is more economical and that is not economical. When people in Shanghai buy things, they often say that this is a standard calculation and that is not a standard calculation. The economics and standard calculation mentioned here are actually cost-effective. The reason why I call it economics is because it is a science that talks about how to cost-effective. Of course, this cost-effective not only refers to a cost-effective family, sometimes it is a cost-effective place, and sometimes it is a cost-effective country."
