Chapter 250 Hongmen Banquet

Subtitle of this chapter: University professor, rooster crowing and dog thieves

………………………………………

This banquet started from the middle of the sun to the evening sunset.

The brothers and sisters of Anliangtang took turns to persuade them to drink, and our "Taibai in the Wine" and "Qingdi in the Hall" almost couldn't withstand such a pan-skin... that wheel battle.

However, he is now a dignified insect vein sorcerer. Taking advantage of the opportunity of "changing clothes", he swallowed two or three lively Xiaoqiangs, and he jumped back to life.

The battle of "Insect Vein Warlock VS. Ordinary People" is naturally the former's victory.

Of course, Situ Meitang would not participate in this kind of battle, so he was safe and sound and finally went upstairs to have tea with Master Yuan, who had won the battle.

"Hongjian, have you thought about what to do when you return to China this time?"

Yuan Yan swallowed a sip of hot tea and told him frankly: "Uncle, I wonder if you have heard of Chinese public schools?"

"Chinese Public School..." Situ Dalongtou thought for a moment and thought, "But the Chinese Public School hosted by Princess Liang Ren?"

"It is. Zhang Jundongsun, the principal of this school, sent me a letter of employment, inviting me to be their professor of economics, and also to offer a writing class with a monthly salary..."

Speaking of this monthly salary, our Master Yuan was also a little proud: "300 silver dollars."

At this exchange rate, 200 silver dollars is only equivalent to 150 US dollars, which cannot keep up with the 50 US dollars he issued to his female secretary Miss Athol Moman. What is he so proud of?

Well, this account cannot be calculated like this.

In 1917, Hu Shizhi returned to China and entered Peking University with a monthly salary of only 260 yuan. This year, Wu Yuseng was invited by Mei Guangdi, the tycoon of the "Xueheng School", to teach at Southeast University only to get 120 yuan a month.

However, in 1926, He Guelian was appointed by Jinan University in Shanghai, with a monthly offer of 300 yuan. However, he believed that the Beijing-Tianjin area was the cultural center of the country and his education level was better than other parts of the country. So he decided to give up the generous treatment of Jinan University, and instead chose the Nankai University appointment letter, which was only 180 yuan per month.

I would like to say here that Jinan University is so rich because it was the only higher education in China that specialized in recruiting overseas Chinese students at that time, of course, mainly Nanyang overseas Chinese students. Many wealthy businessmen donated a lot of money to this university.

However, at this time, Jinan University was still called Jinan Academy, and it was in Nanjing instead of Shanghai. The life experience of this university was quite bumpy later. It was healthy forever and was abolished, so I won’t count it in detail.

In other words, our Master Yuan is a little higher than Hu Shizhi at the time, so he is inevitably a little proud.

In fact, Zhang Dongsun had also investigated his background and offered such a high salary.

At this point in time, Yuan Yanshu's father was a director of several exchanges and trust companies, and the old Yuan family was not short of money.

Yuan Yanshu's former father-in-law was still running a bank, and his former brother-in-law was still in his infancy. The Zhou family just needed the help of this former son-in-law.

Zhang Dongsun thought that whether our Master Yuan inherits the "financial empire" or becomes "turning stones into gold", can we still earn less money?

In addition, Mr. Hongjian is now a famous writer in China and abroad. Before he returned to China, he was regarded as the leader of the New Culture Movement and the leader of the Vernacular Chinese Movement. If he was willing to teach, he would not have gone to Peking University if he wanted to go to St. John if he wanted to go to St. John if he wanted to go to... and these universities would not be welcomed.

In fact, Yuan Yanshu received many university appointments during this period, including Peking University and St. John.

By the way, Tsinghua University has not yet established a university department, so it is not qualified to invite our Master Yuan... This sounds so good!

He would not go to Peking University because he has been from Jiangnan for both his life and cannot live in the north.

Moreover, the imperial capital will be in a mess in the next few years, and the Zhifeng War will be in April next year. In addition, the northern warlords are powerful and they are not "civilized". What if they don't care about their identity as a higher Chinese?

So for the sake of safety, I might as well stay in the Shanghai Concession. Not to mention other concessions, I think the Japanese Concession will definitely be very safe in the future.

By the way, what should I do if he gets too close to the Japanese now?

It's easy to deal with. In the future, he will become the world's leading Japanese expert. He said that 100 million Japanese citizens are all samurai and samurai who are in the samurai. There is no other way to tame them except to go to Kyudansaka. Who dares to object at that time?

I think the Japanese themselves would not object... Not only do they not object, they also have to thank their confidants like Master Yuan.

St. John can't go because it is a church school. How can an atheist and "anti-Christ" like him teach in church school?

Among the universities in the Magic City, Chinese public schools are more famous and are given high treatment.

Of course, the most important reason is that this university is known for its "freedom". At least in the 1920s, scholars in Chinese public schools taught capitalism, socialism, nationalism and anarchism, without any scruples and were very active in their thoughts.

This is right for Professor Yuan’s appetite, so he finally chose the Chinese Public School.

"Since Hongjian, you have made a decision, I won't say much..."

In fact, Situ Meitang also received a letter, and someone wanted to invite Master Yuan to take up a teaching position in Guangdong. However, he had already made a decision, so he couldn't say anything else.

He said with some emotion: "Hongjian, I want to say thank you to you. If it weren't for your Wujiapi, our Anliangtang..."

"Uncle Master, you'll be in a relationship with me. After all, Is my nephew also a brother of the Hong family? What's the point of thanking me for helping me?" Yuan Yan suddenly interrupted his words and said, "If you really thank me for my nephew, please help me with a little favor."

Situ Dalongtou was also a person from the martial arts world. When he heard this, he patted his chest and said, "Hongjian, do you have anything to say, are you still afraid that I will refuse?"

"Uncle, my nephew, then I'll say..." Yuan Yan, who was sleepy and had a pillow, said happily: "I want to recruit some people. I wonder if I can do me a favor?"

"Manpower? What kind of manpower do you want?" Situ Dalongtou said in a little puzzled manner, "Hongjian, you also know that our Anliangtang does not have any serious intellectuals..."

Master Yuan waved his hand and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood. I'm not looking for intellectuals, why do you want that thing? My nephew is looking for some...that talent with specialties."

"What kind of expertise?" Situ Meitang asked curiously.

Yuan Yan suddenly pondered the words and said, "Uncle, I think you have heard the story of Mengchangjun, right? My nephew wanted to be the modern Mengchangjun when he went to England, so he needed some talent for robbing chickens and dogs."

"Hahaha...Modern Mengchangjun...hahaha..." Situ Dalongtou asked with a smile, "Hongjian, Hongjian, I believe you are really a disciple of our Hong family..."

"But, Hongjian, what are you going to steal these people? You may not be going to steal the crown of the British king, right?"
