Chapter 13 Accidental encounter with a hundred chapters

Wang Maoru circled around the earth, and in addition to bringing back tools to produce fireworks and oil lamps, he also brought back a large number of foreign science books, all of which were originally English, French, German, and Spanish books. He had money in his hands, so he opened a unique bookstore near Peking University, and found a former Qing scholar named Qian Xiuming to look at the bookstore. Later, he asked someone to buy a large number of books to fill it up. He found Yan Fu and entrusted Yan Fu to name the bookstore. Yan Fu had not seen him for half a year, and when he saw him again

Hou was very happy. After thinking about it, he nominated Baihuilou and took the poem by Su Shi by Yi, "I never get tired of reading old books for a hundred times. If I read them carefully and think deeply, I know that all the famous officials will never be able to avoid them in the future. Today, I can't catch up with them." Therefore, I named Baihuilou. It is not expensive to study in the bookstore, and I just need to volunteer here to read for free. Wang Maoru came back from abroad and opened a bookstore around Peking University to provide free books for college students. This action suddenly shocked the people of Sijiu City. Did Mr. Xiusheng give something?

After Yan Fu asked, he found out that Mr. Xiusheng had opened two factories, and now he had real estate and career, and he was considered a gentry clan. He wanted to take him to Yuan Shikai's staff, so he took him to Yuan Shikai for a job. However, Yuan Shikai was busy running for president and was busy all day long, so he didn't have time to pay attention to him. For Yan Fu's sake, he asked him to work in the Ministry of Education. Yan Fu thought Wang Maoru would be very happy, but unexpectedly, Wang Maoru resigned and decided to take care of his business. Yan Fu asked him why he didn't go to work. Wang Maoru smiled and said, "I don't do anything about being hot-faced and cold-hearted. Old Yuan didn't even see me, but he didn't know that I was all for

Sir, you are just for your face. I don’t want to be in the Ministry of Education, where the Democratic Party is divided into several factions. What should I do? Fight with them?" Yan Fu had no choice but to let him go. Few dignitaries in the capital paid attention to the opening of this bookstore, just to lose money and make a name for themselves. However, the students around him benefited a lot, such as the women’s public schools, Peking University, Normal University, Tsinghua University, and National No. 1 Middle School, ran over to study for free when they had nothing to do. Some students who came to Beijing to study were willing to study here, with electric lights and warm stoves, and most importantly, young students from Beijing gathered here.

When Wang Mao was a Tathagata, he saw many students reading quietly here, and was very pleased. After watching, he found that everyone was reading foreign books, but he did not pay much attention to classical books.

The construction of Baihui Building is somewhat similar to that of a modern library. The first floor is the dormitory for registration and the accommodation for employees. There is also a small canteen where staff and students can eat at noon. However, Baihui Building does not provide free meals. If students want to eat, it will cost a few cents, but free boiled water is provided here. There are four floors upstairs, divided into the first floor of classical literature, foreign literature, science and technology, and the top floor is newspapers and magazines of various countries. The entire Baihui Building invested 30,000 taels of silver, which was invested by Wang Maoru himself, which is the first time in the history of the Republic of China.

There were few people on the second floor of classical literature. When they went up the third floor, they saw many people reading foreign literature. When they walked up the fourth floor, they saw seven or eight people writing and calculating while reading and analyzing the scientific and technological books brought back from foreign countries. They were able to concentrate on studying science and technology, which made Wang Maoru very fond. He walked over quietly and saw that the man was drawing an airplane on the drawings. It was a simple double-layer wing propeller plane. This surprised him. The man was actually studying the airplane. The book he was holding was a book on air resistance in the West.

The man noticed someone standing aside, then looked up and said, "You are..."

"After the next hundred chapters, Wang Xiusheng." Wang Maoru sat down, nodded at him, and whispered: "Are you studying the plane?"

The man said timidly: "Mr. Xiusheng, is this really... really you?"

"Of course it's me." Wang Maoru smiled, "Sir, are you studying the plane too?"

"Mr. Xiusheng doesn't think that Mr. Feng Jiuru is the only one studying the plane, haha."

"Haha, sir, my name."

"Student Ouyang Peng, whose courtesy name is Kunru, is from Shaoyang, Hunan. He came to Beijing to study at the beginning of the year and found that there was nothing I learned in the school. Alas." Ouyang Peng shook his head and said, "Only here is there, there is some information about planes, and there is no article about planes in other schools. I originally wanted to go to Guangzhou to study Mr. Feng Jiuru, but I didn't expect that Mr. Feng Jiuru accidentally fell and died in a plane last year. It's a pity, it's a pity."

"Is Feng Ru dead?" Wang Maoru was shocked and remembered that Feng Ru did not fall to death during a flight performance in the first year of the Republic of China, and the reason for his fall was ridiculous. After Sun Yat-sen established the Provisional Revolutionary Government, he hired Feng Ru as the pilot of the Guangdong Revolutionary Military Government and was responsible for the Guangdong Flight Team. However, the so-called Guangdong Flight Team had only two aircraft made by Feng Ru himself. In addition to the initial funding given to them by the Guangzhou government, the Guangzhou government also had to raise funds for the three thousand eagles. Therefore, in order to grow the flight team, Feng Ru and his assistant had to fly planes to perform for Guangzhou citizens, advertise for merchants, etc., to maintain the normal survival of the flight team. Therefore, during a flight performance, the plane driven by Feng Ru fell and Feng Ru died.

Wang Maoru suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have thought of it before. It would be better to find a way to remind Feng Ru, but unfortunately...

"You are not studying, you are all studying by yourself?" Wang Maoru asked.

"Yes, I'll study by yourself in your hundred-fold building." Ouyang Peng said with a smile.

Looking at his thin cheeks and a patched gray coat, Wang Maoru suddenly said, "Let's do this, I lack a third-floor manager here. I wonder if Mr. Ouyang can take responsibility?"

"The director of the third floor?"

Wang Maoru explained: "It is because some students put the books incorrectly when they are putting them back. You just need to put them back in place that night and study the planes as much as possible during the rest of the time. The monthly salary is not high, and only four pieces of Yingyang are for food and accommodation, and for paper and pens for your calculations. Of course, if you want to build a plane, I am willing to personally support you."

"What?" Ouyang Peng stood up in surprise. The other students immediately glared at the short boy who disturbed others. Ouyang Peng sat down embarrassedly and said, "The truth about Mr. Xiusheng helps me build the plane?"

"Naturally." Wang Maoru nodded, "Without Feng Jiuru, there is a second Feng Jiuru, without Feng Jiuru, let's train Feng Jiuru. If you have like-minded people, you can also recommend me to come to Baihuilou. I will never refuse anyone. If you are alone, it will be difficult for you to cause planes."

"Yes, it's so." Ouyang Peng nodded and said, "I have a few friends, but unfortunately I'm not in Beijing. If I write to them, I will definitely come back. I don't know..."

"Don't worry, it's a talent, and you will accept all the hundreds of ways." Seeing the other people being dissatisfied with the two people who were talking here, Wang Maoru hurriedly stood up and whispered: "Wait until you go find Director Qian, he will arrange everything for you, so you won't disturb the teacher's research."

"Thank you, thank you." Obviously Ouyang Peng is not very good at socializing, he only knows how to thank him. Wang Maoru also smiled. Such people are the best. Those who are good at socializing have no time to study knowledge.
