After two days of running around, Chen Muwu finally had a good night's sleep.
When he opened his eyes in the morning and washed his face with hot water from the waiter, he decided to go out to have something to eat before visiting his eldest brother's friend's house.
Still among the small food stalls next to the train station, Chen Muwu chose a pork wonton stall that seemed to have more customers and sat down.
While waiting for the meal to be served, he heard the voice of the newspaper boy holding up the newspaper: "Read the newspaper, read the newspaper! "Beijing News", "Morning News"! Cai Yuanpei, the president of Bei University, resigned! Read the newspaper, "Beijing News", "Morning News" "Morning News"! Cai Yuanpei, the president of Bei University, resigned!..."
Um? Chen Muwu was shocked when he heard the newsboy's cries.
Cai Yuanpei resigned?
He quickly called the newsboy, took out two boys with the change he got from eating wontons, bought a copy of the "Morning News", found the news of Cai Yuanpei's resignation and started reading.
"Cai Yuanpei's resignation letter stated: In the past ten years, the people of the country have hoped for judicial independence the most, but the administrative center has overthrown it with authoritarian interference. The emperor ordered to respect judicial independence, and the well-educated Peng Yunyi made a proposal on the same day to interfere with judicial independence and trample on human rights. , met with good politicians in Peng, and exchanged votes for approval. Yuanpei was saddened by the hopelessness of political clarity, and could not bear to be complicit, especially under the influence of this kind of education, which would attract the condemnation of the people and conscience, so he had no choice but to retreat, Cai Qishi. In order to maintain his integrity and not be associated with education that interferes with judicial independence and tramples on human rights, Yuan Pei has resigned and will no longer attend school."
After reading it, Chen Muwu felt confused.
What happened? You are about to resign?
Although Chen Muwu could remember the books he read in his previous life word for word, but the history textbooks of later generations always mentioned the Beiyang government in a few strokes. After time travel, he did not care much about politics, so he had no idea about the current domestic affairs. How chaotic is the political arena?
Of course, because it is too confusing, if you elaborate on why Cai Yuanpei resigned, readers will scold you for not having enough words [1].
But Chen Muwu just wants to know now, if Cai Yuanpei no longer serves as the president of Peking University, will there be any chance for me to give a lecture?
Could it be that after spending two days and one night on the train, the trip was in vain?
He had no intention of eating the meal, so he took a few bites of the wontons in the bowl and went back to the hotel to pick up his luggage, thinking of going to Beida to see what was going on.
Trams in Wuhai have been running on the road for more than ten years, but due to various reasons, Beijing, at the foot of the emperor, does not yet have trams. The only transportation options available now are foreign carts and donkey carts.
The reason why Chen Muwu squeezed the tram with others every day when he was in Qihai and was unwilling to take a rickshaw was not because he thought rickshaws were more expensive than trams, but because the Holy Mother's Heart brought from the original time and space was causing trouble and he did not want to see himself in the car like a child. He sat like an uncle, while the rickshaw driver, who was also a human, ran in front of the car like an animal.
But now there is no tram, and he is carrying his luggage, but he still stubbornly does not want to go forward and ask the rickshaw drivers waiting for customers on the roadside for the price.
Isn't it Bei University? It's not Yanyuan on the North Fourth Ring Road, but the Red Building next to Jingshan behind the Forbidden City. It only takes two steps to get there, how much further can it be!
Chen Muwu is really not bragging. His physical fitness is very good. He is the main athlete of the school swimming team at school. Several freestyle results can exceed the national first-level athlete's standards. He often represents the school in various competitions.
Fortunately, Chen Muwu's time travel was not a complete soul travel. He actually brought his handsome appearance and strong physical fitness with him.
Therefore, for more than two months, while living in daily life, he did not forget to exercise and did not let the good physique he had worked so hard to build go to waste.
However, just because he didn't take a rickshaw, it didn't mean that a discerning rickshaw driver wouldn't come to him.
Seeing that Chen Muwu was carrying something in both hands, a large suitcase in one hand, a bag containing six kilograms of winter bamboo shoots and a briefcase containing magazines in the other hand, the sharp-eyed rickshaw puller pulled up his rickshaw and stepped forward. Come to strike up a conversation: "Sir, where are you going? Take my car. I just bought a new car last month. It's clean and comfortable. We can run fast and won't delay anything!"
"No need to bother, thank you." Chen Muwu politely refused, while his steps did not stop.
"Then why is it troublesome? If you take our car, we will ensure that we will deliver you to your destination safely."
"Forget it, I'm not used to sitting on top and letting you run in front. It feels like I'm enslaving people." Chen Muwu expressed his thoughts.
"Hey, sir, you are too worried! How can this be enslaving people? It is clearly helping people! Think about it, you can get to your destination comfortably by spending a few money on a car, and I earn you money by selling my strength. With just a few fares, you can give a family a full meal after work and go home today. This is the best of both worlds, and it’s a good thing!”
After listening to the coachman's words, Chen Muwu thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense.
I always think about the Madonna concept that everyone is equal, but I have never considered the problem from the coachman's perspective.
The strong man in front of him relied on his strength to make money to survive. If everyone thought like he just did, then this group of people would probably not be able to survive.
"Okay, then I'll take a ride in your car today!"
"Hey, that's right. Sir, please get in the car."
The coachman stopped, put down the armrest, stepped aside, and made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Muwu had no intention of getting on the bus. He put the suitcase, briefcase and the bag of winter bamboo shoots on the seat, and then waved to the driver: "Let's go, you hold the luggage, and I will go with you. "
"Master, are you looking down on me?" What he said made the coachman look at him. "Go to Sijiu City and ask around. Who doesn't know that my Xiangzi's coach pulls fast and steadily?" , there is no reason to ask guests to run with me? You should get in the car quickly!"
Forced here, Chen Muwu had no choice but to obey the coachman's wishes and sit on the foreign car obediently.
But what did the driver say his name just now? Xiangzi?
"Master, where are we going?"
Now that he had boarded the foreign car, Chen Muwu thought of not going to Bei University first, but to go to his eldest brother's friend's house to deliver the things there.
The reason why he didn't go just now was because he could find Beida himself, but he couldn't find the home of his eldest brother's friend.
"Let me see, No. 50, East Banqiaoer Hutong, Di'anmen, go here." Chen Muwu took out a small piece of paper from the inner pocket of his suit and read out the address written on it. In order to fear that this coachman would bully students and kill customers, he also deliberately used Mandarin with the Erhua accent.
"Okay, let's set off now!" The coachman picked up the rickshaw and took a stance, "Sir, your Beijing dialect is good, but we know that you are definitely not a local."
"……How did you know?"
"Because we Beijing people manage Di'anmen, we call it Di'anmen without adding the sound after it!"
Yes, I still showed my timidity in the end!
Chen Muwu, who was sitting in the car, was blushing and blushing. Fortunately, the driver couldn't see him.
