How to deal with it? Sun Yuanqi really couldn't make up his mind for a while.
¡°According to the previous agreement with Sun Yat-sen in Nanjing, the New China Party and the Tongmenghui should cooperate fully in the cabinet and parliament, and should warmly welcome Song Jiaoren and others to come to discuss Lian Heng matters. However, as Zhang Jian said, Yuan Shikai's proposal to clarify military affairs was fair and reasonable. Even if he knew that there might be a conspiracy behind the proposal, it was still difficult for Sun Yuanqi to refuse.
Only when you are in charge do you know that firewood and rice are expensive.
In the past, when Sun Yuanqi was reading novels in his spare time, he felt how happy it would be to have millions of soldiers in his hands, to eliminate domestic thieves and quell national troubles, to slaughter Japan, destroy Russia, and catch up with England and the United States! Only after I actually traveled through time did I realize that this was not the case at all. If you don¡¯t have two brushes, let alone a million soldiers, you won¡¯t be able to do anything even if you are given 10,000 soldiers!
Like in the early years of the Republic of China, most of the army was made up of beggar soldiers. If each person could have a Hanyang-made uniform and a military uniform, he would be considered a first-class main force. If there are a few more Maxims and a few mountain cannons, they will definitely be the elite of the main force! Even such beggar soldiers need at least about 100 silver dollars per person per year, including salary expenses, military uniforms, guns and ammunition, etc. In other words, just to maintain a team of 10,000 people every year would cost 1 million Sun Datou.
If it is a fight, it will be even more limitless!
The so -called "sound of artillery, golden or two", for the arms dealers, the daily gold, and the army is naturally a sunrise. If nothing else, the number of artillery shells dropped on the battlefield every day is not a small number. Add to this the cost of departure, gun losses, ammunition supplies, casualty pensions, medical drugs all added up, it will cost at least 1 million yuan. In the early years of the Republic of China, the annual fiscal revenue of a medium-sized province was only about 10 million yuan!
When Yuan Shikai mentioned that there were more than 1.2 million soldiers in the country, Sun Yuanqi silently calculated in his mind: According to the standard configuration of beggar soldiers, annual military expenditures would require at least 120 million yuan, which is equivalent to one-third of the national fiscal revenue. One of them is even stronger! While shocked, Sun Yuanqi could not help but secretly agree with Yuan Shikai's proposal to clarify military affairs.
But in this case, how can we have a showdown with the Alliance?
According to Tang Shaoyi¡¯s regulations, the cabinet will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays every week to discuss state affairs; on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, each cabinet member will meet with Yuan Shikai respectively to discuss various ministry matters. This means that starting from tomorrow, except for Sunday, where you can take a day off, you will not be idle every day. So after Sun Yuanqi sent Zhang Jian and Tang Shouqian back to the Jiangzhe Guild Hall, he returned to his old house on the edge of Shicha Sea.
Early the next morning, after Sun Yuanqi had breakfast, he went through the various information sent by Chen Xun'en in the study. On weekdays, Chen Xun'en lives in the old house and is responsible for collecting and processing intelligence from Beijing and delivering it to Jingshi University early the next morning. Now that Sun Yuanqi lives here, he saves Chen Xun'en the pain of traveling back and forth, and he can see the information earlier than usual.
"The content of today's intelligence, in addition to various government affairs in the four provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi, and disputes between various parties in Shanghai, most of them focus on the suspicion of state affairs that was abandoned halfway yesterday. By the time it was three o'clock in the morning, Sun Yuanqi had finished looking through the information, and was preparing to take a closer look at several bills from the Ministry of Education, planning to submit them to the State Council for discussion tomorrow, when he heard the guard outside the door reporting: "Sir, Chief Song of the Cabinet has come to pay a visit! "
It turned out to be just as Zhang Jian expected!
Sun Yuanqi stood up hurriedly: "Please come quickly!" As he said that, he walked out the door and saw Song Jiaoren with short hair, wearing a navy cashmere windbreaker, a white shirt underneath, and a black tie. He walked in grandly. . Looking from a distance, you can see that Feng Shen is handsome and heroic. Sun Yuanqi said with a smile: "General Manager Song's visit really makes the cold house shine!"
Song Jiaoren walked a few steps quickly and shook hands with Sun Yuanqi as a courtesy: "Mr. Sun, don't try to ruin the late students! I think back to ten years ago, when Song went to Wuchang to take the entrance examination at Wenpong Middle School, he read the textbooks compiled by his teacher. At that time, he admired him very much. , thinking that if he could educate the world and enlighten the people's wisdom like Mr. Song, it would be an act to become famous throughout the ages. Unfortunately, Song was dull and had little interest in power, heat, sound, light, electricity, etc., so he could not follow Mr. Wu's steps, so he had to devote himself to In the midst of revolution.
"Later Song returned to China from Japan and prepared to establish a branch in Wuchang to propagate the revolution. At that time, Mr. Sun was serving as an academic envoy in Hubei and was establishing schools throughout the province to promote culture and education. Song took the opportunity to find a position at the Hubei School of Law and Politics. Conceal your identity and contact your comrades. During that time, Mr. Sun was Song¡¯s immediate superior. Wouldn¡¯t it be a disservice to the late student to have his enlightenment teacher and his immediate superior go out to greet him?¡±
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked into the study. Song Jiaoren looked up and down and seemed a little surprised that there were no rare books of the Song and Yuan Dynasties on the bookshelf and no famous calligraphy and paintings on the walls: "It is said in the world that Mr. Sun is so rich that he can rival the country, but he didn't expect that his residence was so poor and frugal."So! "
Sun Yuanqi shook his head slightly: "Sun may have some extra money, but it would be ridiculous to say that he is so rich that he can rival the country!"
Song Jiaoren said: "That's true! Mr. Sun has successively established a large number of industries with his intelligence and talent over the years, and he should have accumulated a lot of surplus. However, he did not ask for land like a rich man, but spent all his family resources to establish it. Education. Not to mention Jingshi University, which is known as the number one university in the Far East, there are various affiliated primary and secondary schools scattered all over the country, which cost huge amounts of money every year. Even if your husband is as rich as the rest of the country, how can he support such consumption? Look at this The study room with its plain walls facing the sky, and then looking at the Jingshi University, which is comparable to a garden, you will know how sentimental the teacher is!"
Sun Yuanqi laughed loudly: "You're too flattering at Dunchu! In fact, this house was donated to me by my great-uncle Sun Wenzhenggong (Sun Jianai) not long after Sun arrived in the capital when he saw that I had nothing to live in. Later, Jingshi University was built. After that, my family moved to live at the school and rarely returned to the city. This house was abandoned here and was not decorated deliberately. It was getting late after attending the state meeting yesterday, and Prime Minister Shaochuan said that from now on, the cabinet will open every Monday , the third and fifth meetings, and the second, fourth and sixth meeting with the president, I decided to come back here to stay for a few days. Since no one has lived there for a long time, it is inevitable that it will be a bit shabby, but I am not deliberately showing off my poverty and frugality!"
After serving tea, Song Jiaoren looked at Sun Yuanqi's messy desk and asked: "According to Prime Minister Shaochuan's regulations, the state meeting should be held tomorrow. Looking at the mess of books on Mr.'s desk, could the Ministry of Education have any proposals prepared? ?¡±
Before Song Jiaoren arrived, Sun Yuanqi was reading various information sent by the China Broadcasting Corporation. In fact, the Beiyang faction and the Alliance also have their own intelligence systems, and each of them knows that the other party is collecting their own intelligence. But it's one thing for them to know, and it's another thing for them to be caught face to face. Just like masturbating, you can hide in the house alone and enjoy yourself, and you can do whatever you want; if someone breaks into the house and catches you, it would be unsightly.
Sun Yuanqi laughed dryly: "As Dun Chu said, the Ministry of Education does have to submit proposals, and there are more than one. During the Guangxuan period of the former Qing Dynasty, China's modern education had achieved certain development, but the investment was not huge enough and the development was not sufficient. , the talents cultivated cannot meet the needs of society. In particular, the ideology of imperial power and the consciousness of official status have seriously restricted the popularization and improvement of education.
"Now that we have entered the Republic of China, it can be said that Jiang Taigong is here - there are no taboos, so many rules and regulations of the former Qing Dynasty need to be revised and re-promulgated. For example, the "Education Purpose Order", "School System Order", "Elementary School Order", "Middle School Order", "Normal Education Order", "Vocational School Order", "University Order", "Research Institute Order", "Degree Awarding Order", etc., although these can be issued through the Ministry of Education Order, it is best to be approved by the Council of State, Issued by the State Council, this can demonstrate the country's emphasis on education.
"In addition, there are several issues, such as the implementation of national awards for scientific and technological achievements, the establishment of the National Academy of Sciences, and the implementation of compulsory education nationwide. These are of great importance. I am afraid that they must not only be recognized by the State Council, but also must be approved by the Presidential Palace. Sun must not be cautious. . Therefore, after the Ministry of Education sends the documents, I have to look over them to see if there are any mistakes."
Song Jiaoren looked very interested: "Is it a national award for scientific and technological achievements? Is it similar to the Imperial Academy Gift Award issued by Japan last year?"
Japan's "Imperial Academy" established an award system in 1910 (the 43rd year of Meiji) to reward those papers, books or other research achievements that have made special academic contributions. There are two types: cash prizes for winners) and bachelor¡¯s awards. The Gift Award was first awarded in 1911, and the winner was Sakae Kimura. The content was the discovery of a special research project on the change of the earth's axis.
"Dunchu actually knows about Japan's Imperial Academy Gift Award?" Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but look at Song Jiaoren with admiration: "Yes, Sun's proposal is indeed similar to Japan's Academy Award, but given China's large population and numerous talents, national awards On the one hand, it is limited to science and technology, on the other hand, the number of awards must be expanded, and material rewards must be focused on, so as to encourage young people to devote themselves to science and technology research.¡±
Song Jiaoren asked again: "Then the establishment of the National Academy of Sciences you mentioned is limited to science and technology and expanding the number of members. Isn't the other part similar to the Imperial Academy of Japan?"
Sun Yuanqi laughed and said: "Dunchu was only half right this time! The Chinese Academy of Sciences to be established is indeed limited to science and technology, but compared with the Japanese Imperial Academy, the number of members is not expanded, but reduced! The reason is that although China There are many people, but the establishment of the Capital University is only more than ten years ago, and formal scientific education is nearly thirty years later than in Japan. The talents trained have not yet achieved significant results in all walks of life, and are far from enough. to internationally recognized standards, so the number of places can only be reduced.¡±
Song Jiaoren said: "Although we cannot compare with Japan in terms of quantity, we far exceed it in terms of quality. Not to mention you, Mr. Sun, even Mrs. Sun is better than the Japanese Imperial Academy members! In time, we will definitely be able to improve in quantity." It far exceeds the previous level. So what¡¯s the point of implementing compulsory education across the country? Now that the country¡¯s military expenditures have increased sharply and finances are tight, President Yuan claimed yesterday that the national treasury cannot make ends meet. How can there be funds for compulsory education?¡± (To be continued) . If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
