Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   After uncovering Chai Xinxin and Jia Gongping, two Shuoshu rats, laying off half of the Jin family's servants, and resolving the internal crisis of the Jin family, Xiang Nan began to study in a down-to-earth manner.

  He knew that the more famous he was and the higher his status in the academic world, the easier it would be to protect the safety of the Jin family.

  Because of fame, it is an umbrella.

  He then released the book "Fifteen Years of Wanli".

  The book "Fifteen Years of Wanli" is a historical work created by Mr. Huang Renyu, which was first published in 1981.

  It selects the fifteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty as the starting point for investigation, uses the narrative mode of historical novels and the chapters of biography, and explores the profound reasons for the decline of the late Ming Empire through the description of the tragic fate of key historical figures.

   This is the first academic work that analyzes and discusses historical figures and events from a macro-historical perspective. After its launch, it immediately caused a great sensation in the academic circle.

   On the one hand, this book is really good, it is both detailed and interesting. Use the main characters as an anatomy to show the broader era behind it;

  On the one hand, its unique view of history has also broadened the perspective of the academic circles in viewing history and observing society, provided a new perspective and new tools for historical research, and created a precedent for historical research.

   Therefore, after the book was launched, it was quickly sought after by the academic circle. Countless historians and national scholars rushed to buy it, wanting to see it quickly, and once reached the situation of Luoyang paper expensive.

  After the English version of the book was released, it was adopted as a textbook by many universities in the United States, and was nominated twice for the American Book Award for Best History Book in 1982 and 1983. The Chinese version was selected as "New Weekly" and "Book City" "Twenty Books with the Greatest Influence on China in the Twenty Years of Reform and Opening Up".

  As of May 2022, "The Fifteen Years of Wanli" has been published in China for 40 years, setting a sales record of nearly 6 million copies, which is difficult for historical books to match, and has become a strange publishing phenomenon that lasts forever.

  …

  However, the book "Fifteen Years of Wanli" still has some shortcomings.

  First, Huang Renyu's information may not be complete, and he himself is not from the history department. He studied mechanical and electrical engineering at university, and later joined the army. He only started to study history at the age of thirty-two, and he was still studying Chinese history in the United States, so it was inevitable that he would go astray.

Therefore, his handling of historical materials is extremely sloppy, using what is beneficial to him, discarding what is not beneficial, and even showing signs of distortion and tampering, so the conclusions he draws are also biased and one-sided, which is not satisfactory as an academic work. Therefore, it has been criticized to a certain extent.

Xiang Nan understands the Ming Dynasty better than Huang Renyu, and he also understands the game of court politics. Therefore, when he created this book, he completely corrected the mistakes in Huang Renyu's version of "The Fifteen Years of Wanli", and he also corrected the mistakes in the choice of words and sentences and the modification of style. It is also more in line with the tastes of readers in the Republic of China period.

   Therefore, it can be said that although the original work of the book "Fifteen Years of Wanli" was written by Huang Renyu, Xiang Nan basically rewrote it.

  After the book was launched, it also won the attention of the academic circle.

  In fact, there are many scholars who study Ming history, and the depth of research is deeper than that of "Fifteen Years of Wanli".

But the reason why this book still attracts attention is mainly because of its unique view of history, which broadens the perspective of the academic circle to look at history and observe society, provides a new perspective and new tools for historical research, and creates a new era of historical research. first of its kind.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan has become a dazzling new star in the academic circle with this pioneering work.

  Tsinghua University, Peking University, Yanda University, Fudan University, Dongda University, and many other prestigious schools all offered him olive branches, hoping that he could give lectures and take up the post of professor.

  …

  Compared to Beijing Normal University, Xiang Nan is naturally willing to go to Peking University, Yanda University, and Tsinghua University as a professor.

  On the one hand, these schools are more well-known, and they are well-known universities in the country, which are higher than Beijing Normal University;

  On the one hand, it also has the most abundant teaching resources. The professors and students in it are all first-class in China.

   On the one hand, Ge Liben, the president of Beijing Normal University, is a bureaucrat who has no belief in teaching and educating people and serving the country, but only knows how to make money. As long as he is here, Beijing Normal University will not have a good development. After all, there are raging soldiers, and there will be raging nests.

  The reason why Xiang Nan went to Beijing Normal University was, on the one hand, to pursue Leng Qingqiu; on the other hand, he also wanted to become famous so as to protect the safety of the Jin family. After all, as a celebrity, he always receives preferential treatment.

   Now he has chased Leng Qingqiu and achieved his first goal. Joining Peking University and Tsinghua University will undoubtedly make him more famous.

   Moreover, during the period of the Republic of China, many famous scholars wandered between schools, so Xiang Nan's job-hopping behavior would not attract criticism. So he has no psychological burden at all.

  However, before switching jobs, he still discussed with Leng Qingqiu.

   "Qingqiu, are you interested in transferring to Peking University?" Xiang Nan asked.

   "Go to Peking University?! Why?" Leng Qingqiu asked doubtfully.

   "Peking University has more abundant educational resources, and I also want to teach at Peking University." Xiang Nan explained, "The reason why you applied for Beijing Normal University is because it doesn't charge tuition.

  And now you have made a lot of money by writing. The tuition fee of Peking University is not too high for you. For the sake of your own future, I think it is better for you to go to Peking University, what do you think? "

  Peking University's annual tuition fee is 60 silver dollars. It is an unbearable burden for ordinary families. Therefore, in order to study, Leng Qingqiu chose the tuition-free Beijing Normal University.

   Now she is already a well-known female writer by writing "Marrying the Right Man on the Wrong Sedan Chair", and her income is quite generous, earning thousands of dollars. The mere 60 yuan tuition fee is nothing to her.

   Going to Peking University to study can not only get a better education, but also meet more talented people. It is more cost-effective than staying in Beijing Normal University.

   "Well, what you said is reasonable." Leng Qingqiu nodded, and then worried, "But if I go to Peking University, will I have to take the exam again, starting from the freshman year?"

"I don't think so. After all, you have studied at Beijing Normal University for a year, and your grades are very good. Besides, I will be a professor at Peking University, and I will help you talk. You should start directly from your sophomore year." Xiang Nan And said.

   "If that's the case, then I'll go to Peking University." Leng Qingqiu nodded.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position. Compared with Beijing Normal University, Peking University is naturally better. Back then, she had no choice but to apply to Beijing Normal University due to lack of tuition fees. Now she can go to Beijing Normal University and cannot give up the opportunity.

   Moreover, if Xiang Nan goes to Beijing University, then she will stay in Beijing Normal University, but she will rarely see him. In order to be able to accompany him, she also needs to go to Peking University.

   "That's it, it's a deal." Xiang Nan laughed.
