Chapter 2244 Be a Teacher

"Hey, I salute you! Sit inside for a while, and I will inform you!" This is an official, Bingkuan did not dare to neglect, so he quickly welcomed Xu Dingchao in, brought him tea and snacks, and then went in immediately Find Shen Long and tell Shen Long about it.

Shen Long also felt strange, I have no contact with the officialdom or the Imperial University Hall, why did someone come to my door? But Xu Dingchao, he has seen in the research materials, he is a remarkable person.

Xu Dingchao is from Yongjia. He was smart and eager to learn when he was young. He could recite hundreds of chapters and sentences of the "Five Classics" at the age of 5, and he could write in writing at the age of 10. At the age of 13, he took the second place in the child's birth examination, and at the age of 16, he was a scholar; however, he was unlucky and failed to pass the test repeatedly. Later, Jiangsu Xuezheng Huang Tifang hired him as an aide. Xu Dingchao continued to study hard while serving as an aide. Until the age of 38, he finally won the Jinshi.

The following year, Huang Tifang returned to Beijing to serve as the left servant of the Ministry of War. The two reconnected with each other and became in-laws. , The supervisory censor of Henan Province is an upright official. What's more difficult is that although he is a traditional literati, he is not at all complacent and willing to understand Western civilization.

Therefore, after Huang Tifang's son Huang Shaoji became the general manager of the Imperial University, he recommended Xu Dingchao to Sun Jianai, the Minister of Management, and Sun Jianai then appointed Xu Dingchao as a teacher at the Imperial University.

Shen Long hurriedly found Bai Jingyi, and went out with Bai Jingyi to meet Xu Dingchao. Now that Bai Jingyi is also an official, he would definitely have a face-to-face meeting when an official came to visit; after welcoming Xu Dingchao in, they exchanged pleasantries, and Bai Jingyi found an excuse to leave , leaving only Shen Long and Xu Dingchao.

Only then did Xu Dingchao get down to business, "The last time I met Mr. Jidao in the university hall, Mr. Jidao mentioned you to me, saying that you published an article in an English scientific journal, following Mr. Xuecun. , the second Chinese to publish an article in the "Nature" magazine, England's science is advanced, and it is really amazing to be able to publish an article in a British magazine!"

"Mr. Jidao is absurdly praised. The younger generation is just lucky for a while, and can't be compared with Mr. Xuecun." Now Shen Long understood that Mr. Jidao is Yan Fu, Jidao is his character, and Xuecun is Xu Shou's name is not the one who sings. At this time, it is very impolite to call the name directly, so literati usually use characters, numbers, aliases, and places of origin to call each other.

Yan Fu is currently serving as the general office of the Book Translation Bureau in the Imperial University, responsible for leading people to translate foreign books. He studied in the Royal Naval Academy in the early years and cared about the development of British science and technology. It is also reasonable to subscribe to a "Nature" magazine, so seeing Self-published papers are not surprising at all.

And Xu Dingchao is a professor at the Medical Practice Center of the Imperial University Hall, and he is also a generation of famous doctors, so it is normal for Yan Fu to see Chinese people publishing medical papers in the "Nature" magazine, and it is normal for Yan Fu to meet Xu Dingchao.

"Nephew need not be humble,

Although I don't know much about Western medicine, I also know that all those who can publish articles in the "Nature" magazine are all masters of Western medicine. It is really admirable that my nephew can be the leader of the two at a young age. "Xu Dingchao said with a wave of his hand, and then introduced him to the situation of the Medical Practice Hall of the Imperial University Hall.

Because of the invasion of China by the Boxer Regiment and the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Peking University Hall was not spared, and suffered repeated disasters. First, seven students from the medical school were arrested, and Xu Dingchao risked his life to save them. Then they became the barracks of the German-Russian Allied Forces , a large number of books and instruments were destroyed.

Now that the Eight-Power Allied Forces have retreated, the imperial court appointed Zhang Baixi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, as the Minister of Management, and reopened the Capital University. Zhang Baixi drew on the advanced experience of running schools in the West and combined with the actual situation in China. He personally presided over the drafting of a set of school regulations, which were approved by the Qing court. Promulgated and implemented, this charter is called the "Kingding School Charter", and it is also the first complete school system stipulated by the government in China.

The statute stipulates that the university hall is divided into three levels: university preparatory courses, university special courses and graduate schools; the university preparatory courses are divided into two departments, one is political science, which includes economics and history, politics, law, commerce, and financial management; Sound, electricity, chemical, agricultural, industrial, medical, arithmetic and other items.

Graduating from preparatory courses in three years, passing the three-year graduation examination for undergraduates is equivalent to modern undergraduates, and the following subjects are equivalent to colleges below modern universities; subjects are subdivided into departments, which are equivalent to departments of modern universities; graduate schools are equivalent to postgraduates in modern universities hospital. At that time, there were 7 subjects and 35 items in the divisional university.

For the development of the university hall, Zhang Baixi recruited talents everywhere, and he selected Wu Rulun, a famous leader of the "Tongcheng School" directly under the Zhizhou, as the chief teacher of the university hall. At first Wu Rulun was unwilling to take up the post, so Zhang Baixi knelt down in a large dress, and said, "I am the teacher of the whole country, and I should also be the apprentice of the whole country. If you don't come out, it's like China!" Wu Rulun finally agreed.

At that time, some well-known domestic experts and scholars gathered under the door, such as Zhang Xiaopu, an ancient writer in Yanghu, served as the deputy chief instructor; Lin Shu served as the deputy general manager of the Translation Publishing Bureau; celebrities Yang Renshan, Tu Jingshan, and Wang Yaozhou served as teachers of Chinese studies; Sun Zhirang and Cai Yuanpei served as teachers of history studies; and Xu Dingchao, as a representative of the Medical Center, also shouldered the heavy responsibility of finding teachers.

It's just that doctors who are proficient in Chinese medicine are easy to find nowadays, and Chinese people who understand Western medicine are rare, so when he heard Yan Fu talking about the paper, he immediately found Shen Long according to the mailing address in the magazine.

This is also thanks to Shen Long thinking that the time for international mail exchanges is too long, so he left two addresses, otherwise Xu Dingchao would have to go to Shandong to find him,

"Puri (Hippocrates) in Greece, Zonal in England (Rontgen who invented X-rays), Pascal in France (Pasteur), and Kouhe in Germany (Guo Guo, the bacteriologist who discovered Mycobacterium tuberculosis) Huo) I have also studied the theory, but now that I am old and lack of energy, I can only get a glimpse of it, not as thorough as Jing Qi." After chatting for a while, Xu Dingchao was very impressed with Shen Long's attainments in both Chinese and Western medicine. Admired endlessly.

So there was no more doubt in my heart, and I solemnly stood up and saluted Shen Long, "Thanks to Mr. Qianzhai (Zhang Baixi's name) for not giving up, appointing me as a lecturer in the Imperial University, but with a mere talent, I am really unable to take on this important task. I also hope that Jing Qi can help me to preach and solve doubts for the students in the medical practice hall of the Beijing Normal University Hall."

Is this asking me to be a teacher at the Imperial University?
