Beiyang reactionaries

Hearing Tang Erhe's answer, he immediately said: "Mr. Tang, what are the national conditions and history? It's not because China has been studying since ancient times, and the best will lead to officials. These students are willing to learn these literature, history and philosophy, and are willing to go to the school of law and politics. In the future, you can enter a government agency and have a part-time job.”

Very rude.

But it speaks of a big problem in China's education at present.

If you are good at learning, you will be an official.

Just like when the Jingshi University was first established, it was mainly for cultivating talents, that is, for cultivating officials.At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, why was the School of Law and Politics so popular?

Because the government system at that time had a high demand for modern legal and political talents.

The idea of ​​official standard.

"Minister Fan."

Duan Xun saw that Fan Xudong was talking more and more nonsense, so he stopped Fan Xudong.What he said was right and what he meant was right, but he couldn't say it that way.Then he said, "Minister Fan, tell me what you mean."

429

"Minister Fan, if you have any suggestions, speak slowly."

"Yes."

Fan Xudong let himself calm down.

Still he couldn't calm down.These days, in order to complete the plans of the Ministry of Chemical Industry, he needs to find enough technical talents.In order to find these people, he really ran up and down, begging this department to that department, or contacting major universities.

After running around, I finally discovered that China really doesn't have that many talents.

Too little.

It's so pitiful.

It is simply unable to meet the needs of the Ministry of Chemical Industry.

That's why it broke out in this meeting.

Fan Xudong was really anxious.

How good it is now. Since the founding of the Republic of China, it has never been like this. The political situation is stable, there are no local warlords, no civil wars, and the cabinet still attaches great importance to industrial development.It can be said that in Fan Xudong's view, now is the best time for China's development.

Every second should count.

But the reality is far more serious than he imagined.

Or maybe I was too optimistic before.It is thought that as long as there is large government investment, China's chemical industry will be able to develop rapidly.

too optimistic.

So I was still a little anxious and said: "Prime Minister, what I mean is very simple. Now our country's education system must be changed. The industrial plan we formulated, no matter how good it is, what's the use of investing more money. There is not enough demand. Talents, these are just castles in the air, buildings built on the beach, which cannot be realized at all.”

Some people are already frowning.

Because what Fan Xudong said was too serious.

The plan of the Ministry of Industry was made by many people in the Ministry of Industry, and the cabinet also approved it.What do you mean by that now?

"kindness."

Duan Xun coughed lightly.

Ask Fan Xudong to pay attention to his words.

For Fan Xudong, Duan Xun is very optimistic about it and holds it in high regard.Because this is a professional talent, a real chemical talent.Moreover, he has been in the mall for many years, and his management ability and adaptability are first-class.For the current development of China's chemical industry, Fan Xudong is the most suitable candidate.

When preparing to establish the Ministry of Chemical Industry, the first thing Duan Xun thought of was Fan Xudong.But Fan Xudong has worked hard in the mall all year round, so he was not from officialdom after all.So when he got angry, he somewhat forgot the official rules.

This time the industrial plan was approved by everyone from top to bottom.

The Ministry of Industry formulates and proposes plans, and those bigwigs and experts from the Ministry of Industry have worked hard.Afterwards, it was reported to the cabinet, and the cabinet approved it after many demonstrations.Starting from Prime Minister Duan Xun, most of the people here have approved.How many people will be offended by Fan Xudong saying that this plan is a castle in the sky or a building on the beach.

After offending so many cabinet bosses, how can I work in the future.

"Minister Fan, just say what you think."

"Yes."

Fan Xudong was not an idiot after working in the mall for many years, so he soon realized that he had said something wrong.But Fan Xudong was a little excited at the moment, so he didn't care about that, and said directly: "Prime Minister, in the Opium War more than 80 years ago, the British had only a few warships and thousands of troops. Why did the Qing government sign an alliance under the city with them. In a word , I can’t beat them, so I can only sign an alliance under the city. Last year, our army and the Japanese army fought in the northeast, and what was the reason for the signing of the "Sino-Japanese Nanjing Treaty" at last."

"In fact, it depends on weapons. During the Opium War, the British had better weapons than us, their cannons were better than ours, and their warships were better than ours. As for weapons and ammunition, that is modern industrial technology. Only with a powerful Only by industry can we have powerful weapons. Among the world’s powerful countries, which one is not a big industrial country, which one is not a powerful industrial country. Prime Minister, I just want to ask you a question. If we don’t have our own arsenal, don’t have enough guns, don’t have enough Ammunition, and the Japanese army in the northeast, can you make up your mind?"

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

Said: "I was born as a soldier who led troops to fight, and I know the importance of weapons and ammunition better than anyone else. If our army does not have enough weapons and ammunition, I will not let our soldiers sacrifice in vain. Of course, if Japan is pressing ahead Forced, we must accept unacceptable conditions, so we should fight or fight."

Yes.

If he is not sure enough, Duan Xun will never blindly start a war with Japan in the Northeast.So what if you don't come back to Kanto state in a short time?What about the Nanman Railway in the hands of Japan?So what if domestic public opinion is bad?

Where is it so easy to fight a war.

Duan Xun dared to fight Japan because the Chinese army has its own weapons and equipment, and has its own weapons and ammunition.

"Prime Minister, modern technology is changing with each passing day. The industries of those world powers are developing rapidly. We are working hard now and still have a chance to catch up. If we slow down, the gap between us and those industrial powers will become wider and wider. Our country is currently even The coal chemical industry has no foundation, and the petrochemical industry of the world's powerful countries has developed rapidly. There is also the aircraft industry, the automobile industry, and the shipbuilding industry. The great powers already have great strength. But what about us? "

"Speak the key."

Duan Xun saw that some people were already upset, so he interrupted Fan Xudong.

"Prime Minister, what I mean is very simple. When the Opium War started, we were bullied by foreign powers because their industries were stronger than ours. And we were able to fight Japan this time because we had slightly developed industries since then. , With a little bit of industrial foundation, we have accumulated some industrial strength. If we don’t even have this little bit of industrial foundation, can we fight against Japan? Therefore, we must develop industry. There is only one way for our country to become a strong country, and that is development. Industry. What is needed for the development of industry requires a large number of talents, talents studying science and engineering, and technical talents with professional skills. But now our country has nothing, and our country’s universities are still cultivating a large number of students of literature, history and philosophy. In As far as universities are concerned, there are still very few students majoring in science and engineering. According to the current education model, when will we be able to develop our industry and our industrial development plan, if there are not enough talents, how will we implement it. Including the current occupations in our country The development of schools is also slow, and the lack of sufficient technical personnel seriously hinders the implementation of industrial plans."

Fan Xudong took this opportunity to say everything he wanted to say.

After finishing speaking, it was not over, and continued: "Prime Minister, on behalf of our Ministry of Chemical Industry, I would like to suggest that our Ministry of Education must change the current education situation. Colleges and universities must change the current proportion of arts and sciences, and must increase Increase the proportion of science and engineering to train more science and engineering students. In addition, the government should invest heavily in building more vocational schools and training more technical talents. Otherwise, my country's industrial development will be extremely short of talents. "

Duan Xun didn't speak.

Because Fan Xudong was right.

Duan Xun also knew.

But this is really not something that can be solved with one command.Because there are too many things Duan Xun has to do these years, some things should not be too radical.

Especially those literati with sharp writing, Duan Xun is unwilling to offend them.

Moreover, the wave of "anti-imperialism" in the past few years, the "New Culture Movement" continued to promote the "New Culture Movement" in the past few years, criticizing the current patriarchal clan and etiquette, and these literati leaders are still needed to charge forward.

These literati are very useful in terms of appeal and criticism of patriarchal clan, etiquette, and gentry.So Duan Xun has been relying on their strength and does not want to offend them.
