Chapter 49 Vitality

After chatting with Xie Zhangtai for a long time, it was only late before Yang Rui returned to Wang Jitong's house. After being exposed, in order to prevent the Qing Dynasty persecution, Wang Jitong's mother, brothers, wife and daughter were all taken to Shanghai. He also bought a house in Shanghai. At this time, Cai Yuanpei was also waiting at his house. When Yang Rui arrived, her mother said that she would start dinner.

Everyone in the room was waiting for it to open up. Yang Rui felt embarrassed. Although the meal was delicious, it was a little restrained. During the meal, the old lady looked at Yang Rui and kept nodding. The old lady called Wang Xie Changda. She was very kind and had a long-lasting attitude. In the year of Xinchou, she organized a full-time meeting in Suzhou. When drinking tea after the meal, the old lady actually asked with concern whether Yang Rui was married. Before Yang Rui could speak, Wang Jitong said first: "Mother, she has already had a marriage contract and will get married soon."

"Oh. OK, OK. Revolution is important, but don't delay the marriage." The old lady thought that her son had made friends with bandits in Shanghai, but when she went to Shanghai, Cai Yuanpei was helping her, and then she felt relieved. She heard that Yang Jingcheng, who had been studying abroad for many years, was the president, and she was not very satisfied. However, when she saw this Yang Jingcheng today, although she dressed like a foreigner, her speech and behavior were all Chinese. She felt relieved. Seeing that this person was gentle and talented, she heard that he had not yet gotten married, she was like begging his daughter Wang Jiyu to him.

Wang Jitong had always understood Yang Rui's thoughts, but Wang Jitong didn't know what happened in Tianjin. While Yang Rui responded politely to the old lady, he was secretly annoyed Cheng Rui's elm-head. Everyone was just waiting to go to the study, and the old lady spoke again: "It's true, you are the president. I'm afraid that they can't make decisions about some things, so I can only talk to you."

The old lady spoke gently and gentle. However, Yang Rui felt a little like meeting parents, especially Wang Jitong and Cai Yuanpei couldn't make the decision. They were afraid it would be difficult. They immediately gritted their teeth and said, "Aunt, please tell me, as long as Yang Rui can do it."

The old lady smiled and said, "You have done a lot of school. I went to see Tongji on the other side of the river. It was a good school, but it looked too much like a Westerner. This is not good."

It was hard to tell that the old lady was also a Conservative Party, so Yang Rui couldn't explain and acted as Western to fool the German professor. Especially if he could get Einstein over, he had to say yes.

The old lady said that Tongji is not the main topic, the main topic is at the end, "But you have run so many schools and tens of thousands of students, how many girls' schools are there? How many female students are there? Today I want to run a female school in Suzhou..."

Before the old lady could finish her words, Wang Jitong said suddenly: "Mother, you can't go to Suzhou. What if the Qing Dynasty arrests people..."

"If you arrest someone, you won't go back? Then, will you not go back if you have a revolution?" The old lady is a good scholar and polite person. She has seen the world. Her husband used to be a bachelor's attendant in the cabinet. After her death, she handled all the big and small things in her family. "The Wang family's ancestral tombs and ancestral halls are all in Suzhou, and I want to go back. This time I came to Shanghai just to see your injuries. Now that you are healed, I have to go back."

Wang Jitong, who was said by the old lady, could not refute it, even Yang Rui couldn't persuade him. This era is different from later generations. What is more important than home is the ancestral hall, and what is more important than ancestral hall is the ancestral tomb. Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan, and Winter Solstice, it is extremely unfilial to not visit the grave in these three festivals.

"Educating people is the foundation of the country. But you all run male schools, but not female schools, so there are patriotic girls' schools, and there are very few students. It is said that the mother of kindness often defeats the son. It is said that Meng Mu chooses his neighbors three times. If a woman is not well-educated, I think this new China is not much better."

The old lady's words made a lot of sense. Yang Rui looked at Wang Jitong and saw that he was also lowering his head and listening to the lecture. Just as he agreed to run the school, the old lady spoke again, "It's not easy for you to revolutionize, even if it's not easy, you don't want you to pay for me to run a girl's school. I just thought that you would send some gentlemen over here, and those who manage the school would also send a few." The old lady had seen the standard school of the Education Association, and was very happy to see that the management was organized. She kept thinking about how to transplant such a school to Suzhou and then pay for one to run by herself.

"What my aunt said is a trivial matter. We will discuss it in the evening and we can send it tomorrow..." Yang Rui agreed very quickly. Wang Jitong turned his head and turned his eyes and was glared back by the old lady. "...I can send someone to Suzhou to investigate tomorrow, but now the school has started in autumn and we need to run a school. I can prepare first this year, and I will be admitted next autumn."

Seeing Yang Rui using the dragging technique, Wang Ji and Cai Yuanpei were relieved. When several people arrived at the study, Wang Jitong said, "It's true, hey, my mother can't go back. If something really happens to happen, then I..."

Yang Rui guessed that the old lady was a unyielding temperament. It could be seen from the money she didn't want to run the school with the education association, and said, "The old man really wants to go back, can you stop him?"

Wang Jitong was shocked, "What should I do?"

"What else can I do? I can only play the public opinion card. I will let the newspaper report her from time to time, so that the Qing Dynasty will have some concerns. Besides, you didn't do anything, didn't you just give a coffin to the patriotic patriots? The Qing Dynasty is not as good as before, and I'm afraid I will not dare to come to any literary inquisition." Yang Rui didn't want anything to happen to the old lady, so he had to come up with such an idea.

Wang Jitong has always known his mother's temper and is very determined. This is also reflected in him. I think there is only such a way. After sighing, he stopped thinking about it, and just asked: "The Northeast incident has been done, what will we do next?"

Cai Yuanpei also said, "Yes, now the gentry are talking about the constitutional establishment of the Qing Dynasty. The trend is very strong, and even the students in the school think that constitutional establishment can save the country."

Seeing that they were so careful, Yang Rui didn't care and said, "Constitutionalization is delegating power. The Qing Dynasty is now unable to restrain local governors and governors. Once the constitution is established, the governors and governors below have more reason to do whatever they want. Look, who are the people who advocate constitutionalization? They are basically gentry, and the Qing Yuan team in the court, and are students who are very accepting of new schools. Once the Qing Dynasty is established, the country will not be in the state from now on, but if the Qing Dynasty does not establish constitutionalism, it will be in the state."

"What should the Qing Dynasty do?" Cai Yuanpei was confused and couldn't help but speak from the Qing Dynasty's standpoint.

"Haha, it's all broken. If you want to save your life, you can make a constitution. But if you want to protect the country, you can make a constitution. But if you want to regain power in the name of constitution, then the constitutionalists will be extremely disappointed. Then the time will be for us to make righteousness."

Yang Rui has never said the exact time of righteousness. Before, he just said that righteousness was two or three years after Cixi's death. But Cixi is living well now, and everyone really can't see when she will be at stake. Now Yang Rui no longer tied righteousness with Cixi. Wang Jitong and Cai Yuanpei were happy. Wang Jitong said, "What should we do?"

"What else can I do? Just promote constitutionalism. We will say whatever the Qing Dynasty likes to hear, and even release some rumors that some people from the Revival Society have said. Once the court establishes constitution, the association will be disbanded. Anyway, we must put the Qing Dynasty on the rope of constitutionalism." Yang Rui laughed while talking, very treacherous.

Cai Yuanpei was about to say that such rumors would be unfavorable to the revival, but Wang Jitong said first: "What if the Qing Dynasty really established a constitution?"

"Haha, if he really establishes a constitution, then it will be easy. Let us first motivate the gentry and the governor ask the court for power and let them take over the power of the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty is unwilling, then we will encourage them to petition. If the Qing Dynasty does not work once, twice, and four times, if it does not work three times. If the Qing Dynasty really does not hand over power, then we will advocate the Qing Dynasty constitution as a pseudo-constitution. When even the gentry is disappointed with the Qing Dynasty, we can make righteous words;" Yang Rui said with great enthusiasm. He saliva, "But if the Qing Dynasty really hand over power, we must report how bold and arbitrary the gentry who obtained the power is, and how cruel and corruption are, under their rule. How miserable the people are, and how miserable they are when they were not constitutional. At that time, we must instruct several people who have suffered a lot to go to Beijing to complain, complain about the harm of constitutionalism, and let the court take back the power."

"But what if the Qing Dynasty ignores it?" Wang Ji, who thought Yang Rui's plan was extremely feasible. But he was afraid that the Qing Dynasty would really delegate power and would no longer collect power.

"Then we'll go home and sell sweet potatoes." Yang Rui smiled. As soon as he said this, Wang Jitong and Cai Yuanpei also laughed.

"This is impossible. Those who are used to enjoying rights cannot let go of their rights." Yang Rui still thought that he was in control of Zhizhu. "Besides, Yichun Garden in the capital is just guarding against this. For men, they are not afraid of friends persuading each other, but afraid of women being incited. At that time, a member of Congress, a Beile, a girl from the Yichun Garden ignored Mr. Beile and went to serve the MP. How could this make those yellow belts bear the love? I, the yellow belts in the Qing Dynasty, are not illegal to kill people. At that time, criminal cases will become state cases. On the one hand, there will be a gentry who has seized power and become more and more arrogant, and on the other hand, they will have their own ruling privileges for more than two hundred years. The two will definitely fight each other. Once they fight each other, we can do things."

Yang Rui said it was beautiful, but Wang Jitong always felt a bit illusory when he heard it. However, Cai Yuanpei knew three of them and said: "Now the Qing Dynasty is Dong Zhuo, the gentry is Lu Bu, and the constitution is the beginning of the two's struggle for power. Once the court falls in love with power, then Lu Bu will turn against the water, and the court will not be able to hold on. What we have to do is to do what Wang Yun did back then. But that's..." Cai Yuanpei glanced at the two, "If there is really rumors that the court will disband once the constitution is established, it will be very unfavorable to the reputation of the Fuxing Society."

"So it can only be said to be a rumor. Even if we really say such words, we must not admit that now we have to unite the front with the gentry and constitutionalists. Whether it is constitutionalism or petition, we must support them, or pretend to support them; and in the Qing Dynasty, those Beizi Beile who visited Yichun Garden were the youngest and most impulsive. There were so many Diao Chan, so many of them could make a fuss."

"But those women don't understand Chinese."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. As long as those Beizi looked at his woman and were bullied by the congressman in tears, then he wouldn't make decisions. Then after the spread was made, don't mess around in the capital. Besides, why do men and women have to do so much? Too much hurt people." Yang Rui's words seemed to be pointing, and Wang Jitong and Cai Yuanpei smiled.

Seeing that the most important thing had been said at this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they felt that the Qing Dynasty constitution was very beneficial to the revolution. In a happy mood, Cai Yuanpei smiled and said, "It's done, when will we treat us to a wedding banquet?"

Wang Jitong next to him laughed. Yang Rui blushed at the smile. Thinking of his own mess, he said indifferently: "I originally wanted to bring it back, but I ran away with someone else."

"Runned with someone else, this..." Cai Yuanpei was shocked. He couldn't think of how things would look like this. He thought that Yang Rui was a young man with great thoughts, ability and..., and even women even ran away with someone else. This was too inappropriate.

"I really ran away. I went to the Tongmenghui to continue assassination. Maybe I'll be dead one day. I don't understand why she believed Sun Wen's trick." Yang Rui said helplessly.

Upon hearing Yang Rui’s complaint, Wang Jitong took out a telegram and said, “This girl is very good. The reason why she participated in the Tongmenghui is because of the trouble at home.”

"There's a mess at home?"

"Yes. Her father and brother are both members of the Xingzhonghui Association. In addition, according to investigation, his father Cheng Weinan is also related to Sun Zhongshan." The Tongmenghui is a big funnel. There is no need to send any professional spies. Just find an initial member and say a few words that China should revolutionize. Then any news will leak out when the other party is excited. When Yang Rui was in Tianjin, he sent a newspaper asking Tokyo to thoroughly investigate Cheng Wu's situation in Tokyo. The Tokyo side asked him to find out after a few seconds.

"This... Xingzhonghui, and he is still a relative of Sun Wen. Oh! He is so spicy." Yang Rui collapsed on the chair when he heard this, and only felt that fate was really good at joking. He always wanted to avoid Sun Zhongshan, but fate kept pushing him to him. In this situation, wasn't it just that the Tumen fell in love with the National Party? Suddenly, he remembered Sun Wen's habit and hurriedly started, "She and Sun Wen... aren't it. Did she be Sun Wen's secretary, assistant, or something?"

Wang Jitong didn't know Sun Wen's special hobbies, so he read the telegram and said, "It seemed that Sun Wen wanted her to be his English secretary before. However, she did not agree and directly followed Fang Junying to the assassination group."

Yang Rui was relieved when he heard this: "Go to the assassination group! Go to the assassination group!" After that, he felt something was wrong. The assassination group was a place where life was lost in minutes, but in the end he remembered that Ailing and Qingling came, they were Sun Wen's secretary and then... Although Cheng Xu is in the assassination group, his life is temporarily worry-free. The little white rabbit is right next to the mouth of the big bad wolf. He doesn't feel at ease no matter how he thinks, he has to find a way to coax the little white rabbit back soon.

Yang Rui was trapped by love, Wang Jitong and Cai Yuanpei shook their heads. They only felt that this president was qualified for everything, but the erotic level could not be overcome. Both times they encountered danger were related to women. However, from their old talent perspective, this is also the reason why they can feel at ease to revolution with Yang Rui. Following a person without feelings, he will be sacrificed as a pawn at any time. Of course, there will be sacrifices during the revolution, and it is normal to sacrifice, but if such a person without feelings is allowed to gain power in the world, the people of the world will suffer. In their vulgar concept, a leader cannot be promiscuous, otherwise he will be too soft-hearted and cannot accomplish anything; but he cannot be ruthless and has a tough personality. Everything in the world will be regarded as a plaything. The two of them revolutionized for the people of the world, not to treat China as someone's plaything.

This is what Cai Yuanpei and Wang Jitonghui thought in their hearts, but what do they dare not think in their hearts? In history, fighting for the world has been intrigue and internal conflicts, both internal conflicts are endless, whether with other groups or internal rebels. Even if a country is established, in order to fight for the throne, there are many fathers and sons and brothers who are robbed. Revival will become more and more likely to seize the world, and everyone will be thinking more and more about their own interests in the future, and they are more and more careful about internal struggle for power and profit. The decision-making system of the seven members of the Revival will be made.

People from different majors and regions have a place, but if Yang Rui has a tendency to be dictatorial, then Cai Yuanpei and Wang Jitong can completely counter the situation. The generals in the army were first Cai Yuanpei's students and then Yang Rui's students, and the business mouth has always been under the management of Wang Jitong, and now they are even more considered under the name of Yu Huizu. The backbone of the club in the detailed calculations are either from Zhejiang or from Jiangsu, and Yang Rui's fellow townsman Xie Xiaoshi, Zhang Chengyue and Xu Jingxi in the first phase of the military academy, and there are really no others.

Although the Revival Society was initiated by Yang Rui, the strategy was formulated by Yang Rui, and the rules in the meeting were created by Yang Rui, but these are nothing. If the revolutionary partners were members of the association, then the losers like Yang Rui were destroyed in minutes, but now he met a group of literati who were more pedantic and well-behaved than him, which gave him a lot of vitality, but how long can this life last?

The silence in the study ended for a while. The three people who were thinking about their own thoughts discussed the revolutionary issue like a comrade. At the beginning, Cai Yuanpei introduced the situation and plans of the education association:

"There are more than 25,38 primary schools across the country, with about 300,000 students, of which the primary schools belong to the education club are 6,324 primary schools and 64,389 students..."

After Cai Yuanpei read the first sentence, Yang Rui was confused for a moment. When he said it, he hurriedly said, "Where did this data come from?"

"I got it from the school through relationships. The data from the past four years has just been counted. But it is all estimated. In general, the number of students in primary schools has increased rapidly. Last year, there were only 110,000 students in primary schools, and the year before last was more than 20,000." Cai Yuanpei was shocked when he first saw this data, but the truth in China is as good as before, and there is no way to do anything about it.

There are only 300,000 primary school students. This is my Qing Dynasty! Yang Rui laughed anxiously and signaled Cai Yuanpei to continue reading.

"There are 283 middle schools in the country, with more than 49,000 students, of which the education club belongs to 67 middle schools and 26,530 students; the university club belongs to four and 1,549 students. Among them, one education club belongs to one and 794 students; other higher schools, liberal arts, science, law, medicine, and art schools have a total of 21 and 20,671 students, including four and 3,861 students; the normal school belongs to 681 and 38,423 students. Among them, the education club belongs to 11 and 2,569 students."

After finishing the study, Cai Yuanpei added: "The number of students in primary schools is extremely fast. It is expected to exceed 500,000 by next year and 800,000 in the year after. There are only more than 2,000 teachers in secondary schools, and the number of students in junior colleges and university schools is too small, so the growth is extremely slow. According to estimates, there will be no more than 50,000 middle school students in another five years. This is especially true for university schools. If we follow the standards of the educational association, there are no qualified universities, but there are many junior college students."

I thought that no matter how much the Qing Dynasty was broken, the students should have 400,000, but in fact, there would be no 300,000 students without the Education Association. It was really... Yang Rui said weakly: "Okay, President Cai, tell me your plan."

Cai Yuanpei was called out by Yang Rui and had to laugh at him. He was not an official of the school department. All he could rely on was the extremely limited funding of Fuxing. He flipped his notepad and began to introduce his plan. "The number of students in primary schools has increased very rapidly, because there are more than 30,000 students in normal schools. However, it is difficult to train teachers in middle schools. It is difficult for students to have a way out after graduation. Therefore, the admission rate of primary schools to go to middle schools is extremely low. Except for the education club, there are only 23,000 middle schools in the country. If the number of primary schools exceeds 500,000 next year and reaches 800,000 the year after, then the admission rate of middle schools will soon be one in a hundred."

Cai Yuanpei has been in the academic community for many years and has very clear about the changing trends of schools in recent years and has very accurate judgment on the increase in the number of students in primary schools. Under his description, Yang Rui had a general understanding of the education situation across the country. He took a pen to record all these things carefully.

When he was recording, Cai Yuanpei said: "My plan is that the Education Association primary school charges a fee, the middle school has a half fee, and the normal school and university are free. And, we must immediately upgrade several normal schools to normal colleges or normal colleges, otherwise there will be insufficient teachers in middle schools in the future."

"How to charge, how to charge half a fee?" Yang Rui also felt that the complete free education was really unbearable. If you want to have such talent in your righteousness, the fee was certain.

"Except for mountain primary schools, other primary schools are run in the city for two yuan per semester, and one yuan per semester in the countryside for one yuan per semester; higher primary schools are run in the city for three yuan per semester, and two yuan per semester in the countryside for two yuan per semester, and food and clothing are not responsible." Cai Yuanpei said that, and was afraid that Yang Rui would think it was expensive, and explained: "According to the regulations of the school department, the monthly tuition for public primary schools cannot exceed triangles, and the monthly tuition for higher primary schools cannot exceed five cents. We run schools privately, so this fee is not expensive."

Yang Rui didn't say anything, just waited for him to accept the middle school half of the fee.

Cai Yuanpei cleared his throat and continued: "The middle school said it was half price, but it was actually free. It can be used by me. If you are not a student, you can sign a student loan if you are poor. According to previous estimates, the annual fee required for each person is 15 yuan, and 50,000 middle school students will cost 750,000 yuan. In addition, the future 30,000 students from the University, Law and Political School, and the Normal School will have 10,000 students from the mountain primary school, and 500 students from overseas. Then the entire education will not exceed 1.8 million yuan in one year."
