Chapter 92 Don’t buy the royal palace, buy the Yanyuan

Perhaps seeing the hesitation in Ye Qisun's eyes, Cheng Nuo did not put pressure on him and put the first issue of "Youth" magazine in front of him, and said kindly: "Qisun, don't be busy agreeing or rejecting it first. This is our first issue of the magazine. You might as well open it first."

In order to avoid putting pressure on him, he left him with a period of time alone, Cheng Nuo took a kettle to the kitchen water tank to scoop water, and boiled the water for a while and made tea directly.

It is said that life in old Beijing is really miserable. Since the underground area of ​​the old city is filled with alkaline water, it smells strange. It is not good for the health to drink for a long time. In addition, there is no tap water pipe laying, so the daily water is bought from the water man outside the city. Fortunately, the price is not expensive. People deliver the goods to their doorstep every morning, and only need to pay 100,500 cents a month to get about 420 liters of sweet water. It is appropriate to calculate it.

Cheng Nuo stayed outside for a while and did the radio gymnastics twice. After guessing that the time was about the same, he slowly came in with a kettle and changed the coal stove to the coal stove, saying, "How is Qisun's impression of our magazine? Have you found some unreasonable settings?"

Ye Qisun sat in a daze. Taking advantage of the moment just now, he even made a rough list on the draft paper, full of it. Cheng Nuo glanced at it and felt a little confused. He just did the radio gymnastics twice, not twenty times.

"Sir, I think this magazine is very good. I even learned a lot during the reading process, such as the first point, about meteorology, which is the second point about organisms that I have never been exposed to, which made me understand that locusts during locust plagues are poisonous and cannot be eaten by people. The third point about physics introduces the duality of wave-particle, the fourth point about geology, and the fifth point about chemistry."

Originally, Cheng Nuo was still squatting there and was very happy to listen to it in front, but the more he heard it, the more he felt something was wrong. This was clearly a reading note on the spot. He didn't need this, so he stopped: "Qi Sun, I think you misunderstood. The original intention of this magazine was to 'a strong youth means a strong country'. Let you read this magazine with the purpose of giving suggestions and finding shortcomings."

Ye Qisun wondered: "There are very few young people reading materials on the market. In my opinion, "Youth" magazine is already one of the best. Why do you have to choose faults in it? Pure popular science is already very rare."

Cheng Nuo put down the tongs in his hand, clapped his hands, pointed at his head and smiled: "Because the editorial room starts from the perspective of adults, and you are the closest person to them. In addition to improving scientific literacy, psychological literacy also needs to be controlled."

The purpose of running a magazine is to lead more children to the door of science, sow seeds for the future of the motherland, and cultivate talents for our nation. However, in popular science projects, we must also pay attention to ideological construction, so as not to learn a lot of skills to become a traitor. The fun would be too great. For example, Mei Siping, a Peking University student who participated in the burning of Cao Rulin's house, later became the vanguard of Wang's puppet surrender to the enemy, and ended his life with being shot. It was both hateful and sad.

In his youth, he is a stage of rapid establishment of three views. He adheres to the principle of moistening things silently and spreads patriotic ideas. Even if he leaves his hometown to pursue a life of "the moon is rounder" and his personal choice is beyond reproach, but don't oppose his hometown's parents and fellow villagers in national justice.

At the same time, Cheng Nuo was also a person who came from middle school. He knew that when it was boring and monotonous, it was extremely happy to have a few extracurricular reading materials during class. Often, someone bought a magazine like "Looking at the World", "Studying", and "People Weekly". Everyone passed it on to each other and imagined the future life in the depths of the articles of Xiaoxiao's tofu.

It doesn't take too many other condiments. It would be even better to apply a little less eye-catching red to this era where only black and white is the best.

Ye Qisun pondered for a while and gradually realized: "What the sir said is to let us experienced people see what shortcomings are in this magazine and better achieve the purpose of educating people?"

Cheng Nuo came to him, held the back of the chair and encouraged him, "Yes, think more about it."

Ye Qisun frowned for a moment, then suddenly realized, raised his neck and smiled, "Use the experience of people who have experienced it, to answer past doubts. Is this the case with sir?"

"Yes, that's it!" Cheng Nuo clapped his hands and patted his back in appreciation: "What I want you to do is to put your body flat and face them, try to lead them forward as a close brother or close sister, and you are one of their role models."

Cheng Nuo returned to his seat and just sat down to drink water, but found that there was only tea leaves left in the tea cup. He smiled and continued, "There is a saying that I believe in the power of role models. It is an inspiration for young people, and it is a responsibility for you now. I don't know if Ye wants to join the "Youth" editorial club and become our fan editor."

Fan editors mean both editors and writers, which is also the experience gained from "New Youth". However, the magazines of the Academy of Sciences are not mainly profitable, so they naturally have very few dividends, so they directly pay these editors. Even if they are students, they will not have a shortage of pay, and they will pay equal work.

After hearing this, Ye Qisun stood up excitedly, but before he could speak, he felt a little confident: "Sir, in my opinion, this is not a responsibility, but an honor, a recognition of me, but with my personal strength, it may be difficult to complete the mission."

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "Excessive humility is pride. I have done your homework in advance. I published an academic paper "Testing for Business Merit" at the age of fifteen. Although it is only one of the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" to measure volume, it is amazing to be able to repeatedly speculate, reveal its mistakes, and make sense of the roundness, precise arrangement, and uniqueness."

People often feel inexplicably ashamed of what they have done in the past, and so are the masters of later generations.

After listening to the praise, Ye Qisun not only did not feel happy, but his face turned a little red: "It is an old work from a few years ago. When choosing this topic, it also made readers know that my country's mathematical writing has its own advantages. As for the debate, I repeatedly extended it, but I was afraid that it would not be exhausted. I always thought of myself ashamed of my superficiality, and I praised it."

Cheng Nuo's smile even more: "I had an introductory work a few years ago. Now I have been studying for a few years. Isn't my academic career a little higher? I believe my close brother will be more competent. If I refuse, will Qisun be a close uncle? Haha."

Ye Qisun was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to do: "Sir, I don't mean that."

Cheng Nuo walked over and patted his shoulder, allowing him to sit down with peace of mind: "Don't worry, I know that you have heavy studies and you will inevitably have some concerns. In addition to you, I will also bring some students from Peking University. You can also take this place to communicate more. They are all peers and there are definitely more common topics. Just treat Youth Magazine as a stage for you to show your ambitions."

Ye Qisun then felt relieved: "If this is the case, then I will live up to my husband's entrustion. I wonder which classmates will the teacher arrange at Peking University?"

Cheng Nuo did not think: "Of course they are all talented people, but there are many liberal arts students, such as Zhu Peixian, Gu Mingjian, Luo Zhixi, oh by the way, there is also a fat guy named Fu Mengzhen, who are all potential stocks that I am optimistic about."

Seeing that the teacher had made arrangements, Ye Qisun nodded: "Although it was the first time I heard about the names of these classmates, what the teacher said must be not an ordinary person, and he will definitely run the "Youth" magazine."

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "But we can't just rely on passion for running a magazine. I have some extracurricular reading psychology for teenagers. You can refer to it later, such as interest reading psychology, supplementary knowledge psychology, and curiosity and innovation psychology."

There was a heated discussion on the future of the magazine. The kettle was boiling there, and neither of them noticed it. The spout was whimpering, and the lid was quilting. In the end, Li Laosan rushed over when he heard the movement. He wanted to remind them, but when he saw that he was discussing the matter, he had to give up and sealed the coal stove and gently covered the door.

Through a wisp of steam from the spout, the figures of the two slowly blurred, and slowly drifted into the distance with the sound.

The next day, Cheng Nuo stood at the door to see Ye Qisun stayed overnight.

"Qi Sun, you are more familiar with the situation in Tsinghua School than me. I would like to ask you more about the fan editors there."

Ye Qisun nodded seriously: "Don't worry, sir, this matter is for me, but"

Cheng Nuo said in confusion: "If you have anything to say boldly, don't be afraid."

Ye Qisun took a few steps back and looked at the appearance of the Siheyuan, then came over and said, "Sir, I know that the Academy of Sciences is a big deal. Although the Siheyuan is good, the sky in the yard is still too small."

Seeing this, Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "So this is it. Don't worry, I've been preparing for moving a long time ago. But I haven't found a good place yet. I'm just temporarily arranged it here. For example, if I find a down-and-out palace, I think it's good."

For example, the Prince Yu Mansion in Dongdan was originally the mansion of the eight iron-hat Wang Duoduo in the early Qing Dynasty, covering an area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters. Last year, it was sold to the oil king Rockefeller by his descendant, Sun Mao Village. Later, it was converted into Union Hospital on this basis, leaving only a pair of stone lions in later generations.

There are more than 70 such royal palaces in Beijing. If Cheng Nuo bought any of them, it would not require too much reconstruction and could be used immediately after a little repair. How many people can enter the Sihe Academy? How many people can enter the Sihe Academy? As for how grand his current owner is, he will be so down and out of here now. Wherever the house is broken, there is no money to repair it. It is the same as the price of an ancient castle in the West in the later generations. It can afford to live but not be able to repair it. The price is absolutely affordable.

The last emperor of Puyi seemed to have a noble status. He lived in the Forbidden City, but he was too poor to survive by opening the Summer Palace to collect tickets. He kept filing cultural relics outwards.

Ye Qisun thought about it and provided a new idea.

"Sir, why don't you buy the land opposite our school directly? The transportation is convenient. It's on the main road line and the scenery is also good. The plot is much larger than the royal palace. It's so wasteful."

Cheng Nuo's glasses were wide open after hearing this. Okay, he was so familiar with the "Yita Lake Map" that is well-known. I don't know how many students were dreaming of in his previous life. Now in modern times, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is within reach.

You should know that Stu Leiden is still teaching at Nanjing Jinling Theological College, and there is no trace of Yanjing University. As long as Cheng Nuo gives it high enough, he will definitely get it in front.

"Qi Sun, the relocation matter is important, let me think about it first." He forced himself to prevent his heart from jumping out of his chest, Cheng Nuo said: "Your studies are important, let Lao Li send you back first."

But in fact, as soon as Li Laosan sent Ye Qisun away, Cheng Nuo asked him to change direction and send himself to the vicinity of "Yanyuan".

Finding a high place, it is desolate and dilapidated, and there is no trace of the style of the royal garden.

"Old Li, you didn't take me in the wrong place, is this Langrun Garden of Prince Gong Yixin of Qing Dynasty?"

Li Laosan took off his hat and slapped the wind as a fan: "Yes, that's right, sir. I thought it was where you said Yanyuan before. After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be this place. It's too broken. Look at the weeds that almost covered the rockery, no one cares about it."

Langrun Garden is separated from the Summer Palace in the north. At the moment, the two of them are more desolate than the other. Cheng Nuo stood and watched for a long time, but he didn't see a figure walking around. Instead, a group of sparrows chirping inside and happily.

However, Yanyuan is the product of many gardens gathering together. From Kangxi's Changchun Garden, to Heshen's Shuchun Garden, to Prince Chun's Weili Garden, etc., they are all famous gardens with stories and origins. Now that the Qing Dynasty has been destroyed in the Republic of China, there are naturally few people to take care of it.

Just then, a hawker was carrying a basket and shouting while playing the drum:

"Torped, foreign bottles and rotten newspapers are sold for sale~ exchange for foreign alkali~"

Seeing Cheng Nuo talking, he became curious and walked up to join in the fun.

After hearing the topics they were talking about, the vendor actually interjected and said with great silence:

"Two, this Langrun Garden is already the best preserved garden. The Summer Palace opposite Gengshen year was destroyed. No matter how good the Wei Xiu Garden, Minghe Garden and Shuchun Garden next door were burned, he kept it completely. He only had few people to take care of that grass. If you clean up a little, you will definitely be this in Sijiu City."

As he said that, the vendor actually gave him a thumbs up, obviously very confident in Lang Runyuan.

Cheng Nuo was curious and asked, "Why is the neighbor next door suffering? It's just a whole thing?"

The vendor raised his head and a light flashed in his eyes: "That's because the owner of the yard is powerful. In Gengshen year, he presided over the peace talks and carried out a lot of aftermath. The foreigners were satisfied, so they naturally kept his garden."

Li Laosan is also an old Beijinger, and he was amused when he heard this: "Who am I talking about? It turns out that the ancestors of this garden were the Japanese 6th. Is it a shame to say something about selling the country and seeking honor?"

The vendor was anxious and threw down the ragged basket and was about to come forward to argue: "Why do you say that I, Amuqi (uncle), would have been over if it weren't for the Qing Dynasty in the Gengshen year."

Li Laosan smiled: "That's even more scolding. Man should have died early."

Cheng Nuo came back and asked, "I don't know your honorable name?"

The vendor snorted coldly: "If you don't change your name, if you sit down, you won't change your surname. I'm Zaitao!"
