Chapter 477: Inspecting Me? Sorry, I Don’t Have Time.
Xu Nuo shook his head: "I appreciate Mr. Li's kindness, but let's forget about it."
Li Tongchen was stunned for a moment: "Xiao Xu, do you have any concerns?"
"I don't have any worries, but it's not appropriate either emotionally or rationally."
Li Tongchen was puzzled.
He is a pure scholar. In his opinion, capable people should be valued. As for other things, he doesn't understand.
Xu Nuo looked at Li Tongchen's puzzled expression and explained: "Actually, I didn't want to be a distinguished professor at Modou University of Communication at first. It was only because of the strong request from the school leaders and because it was my alma mater that I agreed."
Li Tongchen said: "Jiang University is no better than ordinary universities. We can give you what the Magic City Media can give, and we can give you what we can't."
However, the promise was very firm: "Mr. Li, if this matter was brought up by the School of Art, I might have to think about it, but you, a professor from the School of History, brought it up, which means that the School of Music does not recognize this matter. Let’s forget it.”
Xu Nuo thought clearly. Li Tongchen had a high reputation, but he was not the leader of the school or the art school. For him to bring up this matter was unethical and unethical.
It shows that at least the Jiangnan University School of Art does not agree with this matter. The School of Art does not agree with it, so why should he be so hot-tempered but cold-hearted?
Besides, the so-called professor title is just the icing on the cake for him.
Li Tongchen sighed, "You still see clearly. This is my initiative, and the leaders above also support it. However, the School of Art is very divided on inviting you to be a distinguished professor. It said that it wanted to investigate, but I think..."
Xu Nuo waved his hand to stop him from continuing, "Mr. Li, as you know, I am actually very busy with work and have no interest in accepting the so-called inspection."
This was said very rudely, but he had the confidence to say it.
Is Jiangda University of Arts famous?
To put it bluntly, he has no reputation.
Not only is the teacher not well-known, but the students are also not well-known. So he has to think carefully about just asking him, and he also needs to examine it?
Li Tongchen was a little unmotivated. He had worked at Jiangda all his life. Whether it was the School of History or the School of Art, as long as he could make Jiangda better, he would give it a try.
Jiangcheng is no better than the Capital City, where elites gather, and Jiangcheng is often just a stopping point in students' lives.
"What a pity. If you can serve as a distinguished professor at the School of Art, it will actually be good for your future." Li Tongchen said with emotion.
Xu Nuo picked up the tea cup and blew on it: "First of all, let me tell you that I am not very interested in being a professor, and why does it have to be an art college?"
"Huh?" Li Tongchen was stunned for a moment.
"But only art school is suitable for you?"
Li Tongchen frowned and thought: "That's not entirely true. The School of Liberal Arts can also do it. Those old guys from the School of Liberal Arts study "Dragon and the Eight Parts" there every day."
Xu Nuo smiled slightly: "The School of Liberal Arts is fine, but I'm not very interested right now."
Li Tongchen was even more confused, "Then where else is suitable?"
"Mr. Li, what did you teach me?"
"History."
"I'm very good at reading history. Using history as a guide can help us know the rise and fall."
Li Tongchen laughed: "History is not like artistic and literary creation. If you make a mistake, you will be scolded."
"Does Mr. Li think I'm afraid of being scolded?"
Li Tongchen was stunned: "No, are you serious?"
"I think I can give it a try."
Li Tongchen stopped talking, frowning and thinking hard.
"In terms of history, I'm afraid there will be a lot of controversy!"
"Controversy is what creates topics, isn't it?"
Li Tongchen was silent for a moment, "Then let's give it a try?"
"Look at this." Xu Nuo handed over a USB flash drive.
Li Tongchen took it in confusion and plugged it into the computer. There was only one folder inside, called "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty."
"Say it first?" Li Tongchen asked.
"Yes, and no, it is considered a popular science book. There may be some differences between it and the real history in many places."
"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", Mingyue became famous that year. This series of books has become one of the best-selling authors in recent years.
The writer was just one of his identities. Mingyue had already become a senior official at the deputy department level.
A complete winner in life.
Li Tongchen clicked on one of the documents, intending to browse it quickly.
In his opinion, history is serious and boring. Many people can fall asleep just reading history, let alone writing history.
Over the years, he has been trying to make history more interesting, such as telling it in conjunction with popular songs.
This attempt was successful, but it was not successful either.
Because besides him, although others can also attract some history buffs in this way, both the scale and the effect are greatly reduced.
The popularization of historical science has a long way to go.
Li Tongchen is not a stubborn person, otherwise he would not use live broadcast to talk about history.
But "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" still surprised him.
It turns out that history can be so interesting, and it turns out that history can be told in this way!
Li Tongchen looked at it casually, and then his movements became extremely slow. He started reading from the beginning word by word.
The tea he had just brewed had become ice cold, and he didn't realize that a long time had passed until the bell rang outside.
"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally looked at it." Li Tongchen forced himself to close the document.
"fine."
He rubbed his swollen brows and said with a look of joy, "Did you write this?"
"Well, I have nothing to do, so I want to learn about history, but reading history books is too boring to be honest."
Li Tongchen agreed deeply: "Yes, even though I am a historian, I still think that history books are too boring. It is obviously a magnificent history, but it is only mentioned in a few words. The few words in the history books are the wonderful lives of countless people."
The more he studied history, the more regretful Li Tongchen felt.
The history books recorded countless kings, princes, generals and ministers. Their lives were so wonderful, but most people were condensed in just a few words in the history books, and the vast majority of people did not even leave their names.
In other words, it is difficult to feel immersive when reading history.
Without a sense of immersion, the fun of reading books is greatly reduced, and fewer and fewer people like history and are willing to spend energy to learn history.
Compared to relaxing and enjoyable entertainment activities, it is obvious that learning history is not fun at all.
Li Tongchen reluctantly turned his eyes away from the computer screen, "Xiao Xu, do you mean to tell everyone the story of the Ming Dynasty?"
"What do you think?" Xu Nuo asked back.
"Okay, that's great!" Li Tongchen stood up excitedly, "Well, you go back and wait for my news. It doesn't matter if you don't go to the Art College, but there is definitely a place for you in the History College!"
Li Tongchen sent Xu Nuo away, took a small part of the printed manuscript, and walked into the dean's office excitedly.
"Dean Qian! Good news!" Li Tongchen sat down on the sofa.
Dean Qian raised his head: "What good news? I heard that you were going to invite Nuoyan to be a distinguished professor. Did he agree?"
Li Tongchen waved his hand: "No, he refused intuitively. What kind of investigation is that? He said he didn't have the time."
Dean Qian was stunned: "You are really young and energetic. What good news are you talking about?"
Li Tongchen laughed: "He is not interested in the School of Art, but he is very interested in history."
"History?" Dean Qian frowned, "Old Li, I know you have always liked him, but you have to know that the most important thing for a professor is to give lectures. Forget about the School of Art. Whether it is directing, writing, or music, he has achievements that can be shown off. Those are real achievements..."
"I know."
"You know you still?"
"Dean Qian, why do you think our History School has always been difficult to attract more students and attract the attention of the general public?" Li Tongchen said.
"History is still too far away from everyone's life." Dean Qian sighed.
"So we must invite Nuoyan to be a distinguished professor of the History School!" Li Tongchen said decisively.
Dean Qian looked surprised: "Is he very knowledgeable about history? He can make you admire him?"
This is the only explanation. Otherwise, why would Li Tongchen, who has always been aloof, praise a young man in his twenties so much?
Unexpectedly, Li Tongchen shook his head: "He does have some knowledge about history, but it's not that deep. He is half a professional."
Dean Qian's face suddenly looked a little bad, "With this level, he definitely can't be a professor, Lao Li, don't be too emotional!"
Li Tongchen smiled and shook his head: "In terms of professional ability, he may not be better than us, but when it comes to how to make everyone interested in history, our entire college combined is not as good as him."
As he said that, Li Tongchen handed the printed manuscript to Dean Qian.
Dean Qian took the manuscript in confusion and started flipping through it. He first flipped through a few pages casually.
Then he flipped slower and slower, and looked more and more serious.
He had already read it.
Dean Qian took off his glasses, wiped them carefully, and put them on again.
This time he flipped through it from the beginning.
After promoting history for so many years, he keenly sensed the opportunity.
This is a great opportunity for history to rise.
"Is this written by Nuoyan?"
"Yes!" Li Tongchen laughed: "When I saw this book, my first reaction was that history is saved! Ming history will surely rise!"
Dean Qian reluctantly put down the manuscript in his hand and said in a deep voice: "This is a new way to study history. It is written in the way of writing novels. Although there are some inaccuracies, it doesn't matter much."
"Yes, it is difficult for us to make more people like history with all our efforts. So what if history itself is very interesting? Do we still need to promote it?"
Interesting is what everyone likes in this society today. No matter how valuable boring things are, they cannot resonate.
Two old men over fifty years old discussed this manuscript enthusiastically in the office.
In their fifties, they are at the age to come out and venture out. Both of them are ambitious and ready to do a big business.
The next day, Jiangda issued a shocking news to everyone.
