"Are you telling the truth?"
Nie Li nodded.
"Just tell Mr. Ren that Nie Li is coming to visit. Nie Li will not be bothered whether Mr. Ren sees him or not."
The little girl left happily, but she was quite honest and didn't take anything. She said she would only take it when Mr. Ren saw him.
If Ren Gong disappears, she won't want the things.
Nie Li couldn't help but sigh, sometimes the foundation cannot be cultivated from one generation to the next.
A little girl can have such awareness.
In less than five minutes, Nie Li walked in.
When we arrived at the main room, a spirited old man was sitting on the main seat, holding a cup of tea and blowing on it.
Drinking hot tea with great enthusiasm is something only people like the old man can do.
Nie Li cupped his hands and walked in with a smile.
"Mr. Ren, my boy Nie Li has taken the liberty of visiting me. Please forgive me, Mr. Ren."
When Duke Ren saw Nie Li, he put down his tea cup and sighed.
"If Mr. Nie can come to this humble abode, he will be able to shine brightly. How can I, a commoner like me, dare to refuse?"
Nie Li heard the resentment in Mr. Ren's mouth. To be honest, Nie Li was indeed a bit bullying, so I will tell you that Nie Li is here.
Whether you see it or not, it’s simply rude.
But Nie Li didn't have much time to spend visiting the thatched cottage, so he had to make this decision.
Nie Li didn't care and said with a smile: "Mr. Ren, now that there is a republic, where are the ordinary people? We are all equal."
"Fan Zhongyan also said back then that if you live high in the temple, you worry about the people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about the king. Although we are not kings and ministers, can you have the heart to abandon the people of the world and ignore them?"
Mr. Ren had no expression on his face and said with a hint of self-deprecation: "Do I still have such great influence? Why didn't I know?"
"There is no need to discuss the matter of wanting me to serve as a government official. I am old and just want to take care of myself and don't want to get involved in the struggle."
To be honest, Mr. Ren was really disappointed with all the previous governments, especially Lao Yuan, who simply broke the hearts of everyone in the world.
Therefore, he does not want to have any contact with these politicians.
In his opinion, Nie Li was not much different from Lao Yuan and others.
Although it seemed that what Nie Li did was very inspiring, it was also too bold.
Nie Li didn't care whether he was invited or not, he just sat down.
He said to the little girl: "Give me a cup of tea too!"
The little girl looked at Mr. Ren at a loss, and Mr. Ren snorted: You're welcome!
Nie Li smiled.
Nothing was said.
But let’s get back to the topic: “The people of the country are weak not only in terms of national strength, but also in terms of ideas. I came here this time not to ask Mr. Ren to serve as an official in the government, but to Let Mr. Ren go and awaken people’s minds.”
"That sounds nice. Do you know what conditions your father-in-law made when he wanted me to cheer for him? As for you, tell me and I'll listen."
Nie Li clicked his tongue.
It seems that this person has a lot of resentment towards Lao Yuan.
"I can't make any conditions, but I believe that Mr. Ren can write such a masterpiece as Huaxia Theory, and he will never sit back and let the Chinese people continue to sleep."
"So, I can only promise that no one can hinder your authority at Capital University."
Mr. Ren was surprised.
I originally thought that Nie Li wanted him to become an official, but unexpectedly he pulled him out of college.
He frowned and asked, "Do you want to start a university?"
"University cannot be established by just touching the upper lip and the lower lip. Which famous university in the world does not have a profound foundation and the support of basic disciplines? What do you have? How dare you threaten to start a university."
Nie Li has good intentions, but if you want to build a good university, it requires more than just having a high official position.
There are too many levels involved. In short, this is a reflection of a country’s comprehensive national strength.
Nie Li smiled slightly, "Yes, I want to set up a university. I will establish a new university at the old site of the Capital University, and you will be the president of this school!"
"Of course I know that running a university is not easy, but as long as you need it for teaching, I can get it for you! I, Nie Li, never lie! Is this condition enough?"
Mr. Ren was amused by Nie Li's words.
He laughed loudly: "What a newborn calf. Can I get whatever I need?"
Nie Li nodded solemnly.
Mr. Ren was also amused by Nie Li's rhetoric and casually mentioned a few names. They were all basic equipment necessary for today's universities, as well as some experimental instruments.
These things are more expensive than gold.
If we ask these warlords to spend money to buy guns and artillery, no one will blink an eye, but if they buy these equipment that may take more than ten, twenty, or even a hundred years to be effective, I'm sorry and let's not talk about it.
Don't ask him how he knew.
What Lao Yuan said at the beginning was pretty much the same.
But nothing happened.
Nie Li nodded after hearing this: "It's easy to handle. How many sets do you need?"
Good guy, you can tell a few things when you open your mouth.
Mr. Ren was very amused.
But seeing Nie Li's serious expression, he couldn't help but hold back his laughter.
"Can you really get it?"
Mr. Ren asked doubtfully.
Nie Li nodded solemnly: "Of course! As long as you make a list, I will get it for you!"
Mr. Ren was shocked.
How come you have such a loud tone?
What ability do you have, Nie Li, to get something that the great powers themselves regard as treasures?
"How do you do it?"
Lord Ren asked.
Nie Li said calmly: "Buy first. If you don't sell, you can only rob it."
"Don't Mr. Ren know that we have also sent troops to the West?"
Mr. Ren almost fell off his chair.
Rob? Isn’t it still a warlord style?
But the thought of robbing someone else doesn't seem that uncomfortable.
"Only those 20,000 people? What a joke!"
Nie Li chuckled: "Who said it was 20,000? As long as I want, it can become 30,000, 40,000, or even more at any time! In short, equipment is not a problem!"
"As long as there is someone on the list, even if it is a person or a leader in scientific research, I will tie it up for you!"
Mr. Ren was really confused.
"Wait a minute, let me smooth it out. Are you serious?"
Nie Li nodded: "Very serious!"
Mr. Ren stood up and walked around the room, holding his hands behind his back.
He had waited too long for this opportunity.
"You know, these things are very expensive, and they don't produce results in a short time."
Mr. Ren looked at Nie Li seriously.
Nie Li smiled slightly: "I know that it is not that simple to enlighten the people. I am mentally prepared. Even if it takes a hundred years, it will be worth it!"
Even if it takes a hundred years, it's worth it. These words touched Mr. Ren's heart.
Mr. Ren was excited.
"Okay, what are your plans for university, what are the subject settings, how to choose students, and what is your focus! If you can really do what you say, what if I, this old man, have to work hard for you?"
Nie Li chuckled in his heart.
You know, this trick works.
"The Capital University has temporarily set up a college of arts, science, forensics, agriculture, industry, and teachers. As for the details of the establishment, Mr. Ren can make the decision on his own. I am only responsible for providing preparatory conditions."
