"I won't talk about the history of the school. It was the Peking University before, but after its founding, it was renamed National Peking University. ∷∷. The school currently has seven colleges, namely literature, law, science, business, medicine, agriculture, and engineering, and thirty-seven departments. There are 346 academic staff members with professors and lecturers, and the total number of students is more than 3,600.

The school's management department is divided into the school board and the professor's review board. The school board is mainly responsible for the school's administrative daily affairs, so that teachers and students can be freed from daily trivial matters and concentrate on teaching and the school; the professor's review board is participated by professors elected by various colleges, mainly to manage teaching affairs; in addition to the school board and the professor's review board, the school also has a student union, which is a semi-official institution composed of students, mainly to manage student clubs and some student affairs.

School teaching adopts a credit system, which is divided into four types: basic, major, elective and compulsory courses. Each category of courses has corresponding credits. Students from each department can graduate after completing the credits required for various courses. It does not take four years to graduate. However, in contrast, because all kinds of courses are chosen by students, the salary of teachers is not only related to the grade, but also closely related to the number of electives. The number of students electives depends on the teacher's teaching level. Teachers with different teaching levels will naturally have more students to listen. There are staircases in the school, and two hundred people can sit. If the teacher's teaching is not recognized by students, then there will be very few people listening..."

After several twists and turns, Cai Yuanpei's secretary Xu Baohuang went over the board and began to take the most streamlined induction training for Hu Shi and Chen Zhongfu. However, he was a government staff member and was not completely clear about the induction training at the university. He basically said what he thought of and said what he said, after breaking his salary from the course selection. He followed the trend:

"The level of university teachers is divided into four types: teaching assistants, lecturers, associate professors, and professors. Their salary is the highest among all walks of life in my country. Mr. Shizhi is now an associate professor, with a basic monthly salary of 100 Huayuan. If the lecture allowance is included, it should not be less than 200 Huayuan. This is only the private income. In addition, teachers also have academic funds. This money will vary depending on the school, department, and grade. However, Peking University is a key institution and the college is a national key department. The academic funds applied for by professors are not 20,000 or 10,000 yuan each year. This is mainly based on the value of academic research;

The application target for funds can be the school. It is also the National Discipline Committee, the Education Committee of the Institute of the Inquiry, the Royal Academy of Sciences, and even if it is a practical project, it can cooperate with off-campus companies to obtain funds. The content about this part is too much and complicated, so I won’t say much about it here. After formal work, the school will issue a teacher manual, which will be introduced in detail above.

Mr. Jimin said that Mr. Zhongfu's position is the head of liberal arts, and his official name should be the president of the college, which belongs to the administrative system rather than the teaching system. In addition, the current dean of the president of Liberal arts is Mr. Xia Xiqi. However, he also serves as a professor at the same time, so after Mr. Zhongfu takes office, he will hand over the college affairs to Mr. Zhongfu for peace of mind to teach.

The salaries of our officials have always been slightly higher than those of grassroots officials, while those of middle and high-ranking officials are lower. Compared with the Prime Minister's Cabinet Minister, the Prime Minister's salary is only one-seventh of that of the Prime Minister's Cabinet Minister, which is 135 Huayuan. This also requires personal income tax. Although Mr. Zhongfu is the president of the court, he is also paid based on the government's salary. The monthly salary of the president's position is the same as the salary of the fourth-rank official and the chief general. Before the two yuan was abolished, it was 34 taels. It was converted into Huayuan, which is 46 yuan, 50 cents, 70 cents, 50 cents..."

If Hu Shi included academic funds, it would be as high as one or two thousand per month. Although Chen Zhongfu was the president of the Academy of Literature, his salary was less than fifty yuan. Xu Baohuang looked at him apologetically and wanted to continue comforting him. However, Chen Zhongfu asked, "Does this salary also have to be paid personal income tax? How much should he pay if he wants to pay?"

"The personal income tax thresholds of each province are different. If the capital city has a monthly income of more than seven yuan, it must pay personal income tax. However, the tax rate from seven yuan to ten yuan is very low, only a few hundred percent; it will gradually increase by more than ten yuan. The tax rate of the fourth-rank official is about..., about twelve percent."

Based on the current purchasing power of silver, the actual purchasing power of one tael of silver is about 1,000 in Yang Rui's opinion. The reason is that the monthly salary of the Beiyang New Army can support the five-member family in a big city with a small surplus. The reason why the price of grain is inappropriate is that ordinary people nowadays have no other consumption except for eating, and the commodity is flooded in later generations, and the proportion of food consumption is extremely small. Therefore, personal income tax is levied from four taels throughout the country, and eight taels start to soar. The monthly salary of fourth-rank officials is 34,000 yuan, which is 34,000 yuan in later generations. According to the personal income tax rate in later generations, the tax rate should be 18%. However, it is not reasonable to simply convert from consumption to currency value.

If one liang is equal to one thousand yuan, it is calculated as one thousand yuan: rice with three liang and one stone should be 3,000 yuan in later generations, which is nearly ten times more expensive; pork with eight cents per pound is 50 yuan per pound in later generations, which is two or three times more expensive; movies with two cents per play are 150 yuan, which is nearly twice more expensive; tea with two cents per serving is 150 yuan in later generations, which is nearly twice more expensive; rent for large courtyard houses generally costs six to ten taels per month, and medium single room is about two taels, which is placed in later generations... it seems to be the same;

The second-class two-way triangle from Beijing to Tianjin is more than 20 times that of later generations; the city's rickshaw starts from five minutes and the bus starts from two minutes, which is three times and ten times that of later generations. After the rickshaw truck is converted into a taxi, I don't know how much it will be. In the restaurant, the ordinary four cold and four hot bowls are added with an ordinary four bowls, one liang of silver, which is slightly more expensive than that of later generations. The shark fin mat in a high-end hotel requires ten taels of wine and water tips, which is more expensive than that of later generations. The family cooks by themselves, and the standard of well-off society costs five taels per month, which is three or four times that of later generations. In addition, another full-time servant needs to be invited to pay a monthly salary of two taels, which is slightly lower than that of later generations.

Besides, the high-quality opening price is two yuan, six yuan for overnight stay, and the miscellaneous amount is not counted; the medium-quality tea-making money is five yuan, and the Huayuan hexagon is six cents. If you want to open a shop and stay overnight, the Beijing hexagon is ten yuan, and the tip is not included; there is no need to mention the inferior one, only half of the medium one.

Chen Zhongfu's family had several people. If they really wanted to live in the capital, they would have to live and eat for sixteen or seventeen taels every month. Although there was a surplus to watch plays, tea and clothes, it would be impossible to consume more advanced goods. At least, high-end brothels could not be visited. The rule there was that if they didn't open a plate three or five times, the girl's hand would not be able to touch it. It would be even more unreasonable to stay overnight. Even if they were forced to go to the middle-level kiln, they would look shabby everywhere. And if they went to the medium kiln to make tea, they would not say that the girls there could not sing and play music, even if they could, the dean could not afford to lose face. Of course, what Chen Zhongfu considered was not whether he could go to the kiln. He just felt that the salary difference between the teachers and officials and employees was too big, and he had to pay taxes. Six or seven yuan was gone at once. Based on personal income, it would be better to find a university as a teacher.

Xu Baohuang didn't know Chen Zhongfu's thoughts, but only talked about the welfare of some schools. "Mr. Zhongfu, most of the real estate in Beijing was bought by the Ministry of Revenue. Officials had housing stickers. If the requirements were not high, they would not have to pay much. The school was exempt from food expenses. Although it was limited to the person, it could save some money. In addition, cars. Officials and teachers would be issued according to the corresponding level. Although cars are still being tested, after the end of the European War, the factory can produce when it is free, and this time only takes five years."

"As Mr. Jimin said, we came first. We didn't come from earning money. We just need to make a living. These are all minor issues." Seeing Xu Baohuang's concern, Chen Zhongfu had to smile reluctantly.

"That's good!" Xu Baohuang felt relieved when he saw him laughing. In fact, judging from his salary of more than ten yuan a month after he just joined the company, forty-six yuan is already a lot.

"Let's talk about the college. There are now four departments, including Chinese philosophy, China, Chinese history, and English. There are many old teachers among professors, including Chen Jieshi, Chen Yuncong, Huang Jigang, Gu Tangsheng, Ma Yichu, Lin Qinnan, Huang Yukun, Liu Rongji and others, and the academic ones are the highest. Chen Jieshi, Liu Rongji and Huang Jigang are the highest. Mr. Chen Jieshi is old and probably can't teach for many years;

Liu Rongji is the younger brother of Liu Shen, a native of Yangzhou. Liu Shen and Fuxinghui have some old grudges. However, after the founding of the country, under the pleading of Zhang Mei, these were not only no longer pursued, but also recruited his younger brother to Peking University as a professor. His family has been in Zuochuan for thousands of years and has a deep academic background. Everyone is convinced. Huang Jigang is from Qichun, Hubei. He once stayed in Japan and joined the Fuxinghui Association. After coming to Beijing to meet Zhang Mei, he was like a master and apprentice. He originally wanted to do research, but later he was invited by the school. He was arrogant and arrogant and arrogant..."

"I know this person." Hu Shi didn't know who this person was, but Chen Zhongfu knew it. Once in Japan, he talked about the late Qing Dynasty at Qian Xuantong's residence, and lamented that the masters Dai, Duan, Wang and others were from Jiangsu or Anhui, but there were no major scholars in Hubei. Huang Kan, who happened to be a guest, immediately entered the door: "There are no scholars in Hubei, but this is just a mere one; although there are many scholars in Anhui, it may not be a big deal." As soon as Huang Kan said this, Chen Zhongfu left immediately, and Qian Xuantong also went out for a few walks before returning home.

Chen Zhongfu suddenly remembered the old thing and sighed: "This person is really not an ordinary crazy person!"

"That's right." Although he hadn't returned to China and entered Beijing for a long time, Xu Baohuang still heard about Huang Jigang's words and deeds. He didn't say much about other things, but said: "This person is very contemptuous of Xinxue, and once said that all the eight books are bullshit."

Unexpectedly, it was such a person. Hu Shi shook his head when he heard this. Xu Baohuang continued: "There is also Gu Tangsheng, who teaches Britain, also has a lot of complaints about the new learning, but this person is not good to talk about because he only teaches English."

"Who are there people here?" Chen Zhongfu asked. He knew what Cai Yuanpei meant to come to him and Hu Shi, and it must be because there were many teachings supporting the old school that he needed to find people everywhere.

"The teachers who support the new school are mostly young, including Qian Deqian, Zhu Changxian, Liu Bannong, Shen Yimo, Ma Youyu, Zhou Shuren and other teachers. Among them, Qian Deqian and Zhou Shuren's views are the most inspiring. Qian Deqian believes that if our country wants to innovate culture, it should abolish Chinese characters and use pinyin; Mr. Zhou Shuren believes that Chinese characters will not be destroyed, and China will be destroyed." Xu Baohuang said. "Although this statement is extreme, many people support it. They believe that world characters will eventually be unified, and unification will definitely be the victory of Western letters."

"What do you think of that sir?" The remarks were so intense. Chen Duxiu and Hu Shi were both surprised. Their original intention was to abolish classical Chinese and promote vernacular Chinese, abolish the old and promote the new, and abolish Chinese characters.

"Mr. I think Chinese characters can be pinyin first. As for whether it costs money, I have to look at it again. I will discuss the matter of pinyin teaching." Xu Baohuang said.

"Doesn't you even have a Pinyin teaching now?" Hu Shi was shocked. He had been abroad for many years and thought that the Pinyin had been formulated and started to be used.

"The pinyin has been available, but it is only used in normal schools to determine the standard pronunciation of Mandarin, but it has not been fully used in primary schools." Xu Baohuang said. "Elementary school is market-oriented, so many private schools teach according to the old methods in the past. What the school wants is to popularize the literacy rate. As long as students can pass the exam, they will issue funds to the school, and they will not care about how to teach."

"How can this be done?" Hu Shi was shocked. This was even more American than the United States. Even the United States was not like this.

"This is also impossible. There are only a limited number of teachers in the early days of the country, but there are many folk scholars. Doing so can increase the literacy rate and give those scholars a meal, so that they can run private schools widely. It is said that after this policy is implemented, it is more cost-effective than official education." Xu Baohuang said.

"What about now? Will the pinyin be implemented after five years of free education be implemented in primary schools?" Hu Shi said.

"I don't know this either." Xu Baohuang didn't want to talk about the topic and came here. It was not that he didn't know, but that the Ministry of Rites and the school department were arguing about this. The school department wanted to formalize education in junior high schools and promote Chinese pinyin; while the Ministry of Rites hoped to help rural scholars save their jobs. This matter has been debated to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister's considerations are said to be two. First, education should start with children, so junior high schools should be regularized; second, scholars will rebel if they have nothing to do, so private schools should be retained.

"Let's just stop here today. I haven't been to Peking University. The introduction is not comprehensive, and even what I said may be wrong. After you join the company next year, the school will have more detailed training. It is necessary to pay attention to it at that time." Xu Baohuang looked at the watch and felt that the time was almost over, so he started to see off the guests. He also thought that the two of them would think about Cai Yuanpei's saying goodbye, so he asked them to wait a moment and go to find Cai Yuanpei first.

Since the founding of the country, the government's institutionalization construction has become more and more perfect, and various ministers have also begun to fall into the sea of ​​literary meetings. Cai Yuanpei, who came back from the complex meeting, came to the small conference room with some fatigue to meet Hu Shi and Chen Zhongfu. He grabbed the hands of the two and said, "There is nothing wrong, right?" As he spoke, he shook Chen Zhongfu's arm.

Understanding Cai Yuanpei’s meaning, Chen Zhongfu smiled. “Mr. Jimin, I came to Beijing to get rid of old ills and change the youth style. Official positions and salary are really not what I want.”

"Okay! OK!" Cai Yuanpei laughed, "Peking University is in need of cultural revolutionaries like Zhongfu and Shizhi. Not only will it set the stage, but it will also create a culture of freedom and democracy, and wipe out the accumulated problems of our country for more than 2,000 years!"

Cai Yuanpei said this very generously. While Chen Zhongfu and Hu Shi were answering, he saw the foreign ministry officials running on the street outside the glass window. After a while, Xu Baohuang walked in and said, "Sir, the United States has declared war!"

"What!" Hu Shi was the most surprised of the three. He thought President Wilson would always mediate all parties in the European war instead of participating in the war, but the United States really participated in the war.

"Oh." War has never been the focus of attention of the school and even Cai Yuanpei. He just said lightly to this news, but at this time, Yang Rui was extremely excited at Yin'an Palace. He looked at Xie Zhangtai in front of him and Zhang Shi, the intelligence director, who had predicted this result a few days ago, but he still couldn't believe it. He asked, "Is it so simple to declare war?"
