Chapter 171 Li Ye was shocked
When Li Ye, Sun Xianjin and others arrived at the lecture, most of the seats were already occupied, with only a large area in the front row completely empty.
Needless to say, that place is not prepared for ordinary students like Li Ye.
But under the current circumstances, it is impossible to find empty seats in four townhouses.
Bian Jingjing couldn't help but ask, "Is the economics lecture so popular?"
Sun Xianjin said: "Yes, every lecture can hear a lot of new knowledge."
Although it is 1982 and the atmosphere of ideological liberation is already strong, much of the knowledge taught in class is still very outdated, especially economics.
Due to the needs of industrial and manufacturing development, disciplines such as physics and mechanical engineering have been or are close to being updated to the latest international standards, but economics lags far behind for many reasons.
Therefore, open "lectures" are everyone's favorite and most valuable way to learn knowledge.
Once the news of a lecture spreads, not only students from the Department of Economics of Kyoto University will come, but students from other schools will also come to listen.
It's still early now. If we wait any longer, the corridor will be full of people.
Fortunately, many people from Department of Economics 82 also came. Chen Xiaoling, who had been hanging out with Zhen Rongrong all day, stood up and waved to Li Ye and the other three.
"Li Ye, Sun Xianjin, come here."
Chen Xiaoling's shout naturally attracted the attention of others.
After someone saw Bian Jingjing and Wen Leyu, almost everyone at the scene looked over.
"Look, it's the freshman who practices high jump."
"Really? Who is the short boy next to him?"
"I don't know him. He's just an unknown person."
“Hehe~”
There are few girls in universities these days, so it is normal for them to attract a lot of attention. However, because of her height, it is impossible for Bian Jingjing not to attract attention.
Even though Wen Leyu is only 1.7 meters tall, she still stands out from the crowd. However, the girl has always been cool and low-key, so she is not as eye-catching as Bian Jingjing.
Chen Xiaoling and others squeezed each other to make room for a few seats for Li Ye and others. Sun Xianjin found a broken bench from somewhere and sat down in the aisle.
After sitting down, Wen Leyu gently poked Li Ye and asked, "Today's lecture is about daily life?"
Li Ye nodded slightly to show that he knew.
At the front of today's lecture hall, there was a banner hanging - Michio Morishima Lecture on Marx Economics.
The first four Chinese characters are the name of a small day.
This is the usual format of many lectures at this time. First, a foreign economist is introduced, then his personal research is described, and then everyone studies and discusses together.
And Michio Morishima is the economics figure on the daily life side.
Li Ye knew the topic of today's lecture in advance, so when Sun Xianjin asked him whether he wanted to invite Wen Leyu to come, he said he had no plans to.
Because although the direction of Morishima Michio's research, under the name of Marx, is more in line with the environment in the mainland at that time,
But the economic environments of both parties are different, plus other reasons, if there is no fierce quarrel later, it would be strange!
Wen Leyu asked again: "So are you here to express your opinion today?"
The girl knew something about Li Ye and knew that he was a "big flower grower", so she thought that Li Ye came here today to cause trouble.
Li Ye shook his head and said, "I only brought my ears today. My mouth is left in the dormitory."
Wen Leyu pursed her lips and didn't laugh out loud. She was already used to Li Ye's random "funny" outbursts.
But Chen Xiaoling, Zhen Rongrong and others next to them started laughing. Any clichéd joke that would appear decades later would have been a funny joke in the 1980s.
"It's wrong for you to talk like that."
A classmate in the front row heard the laughter of several girls and turned his head.
“Now that you are at Kyoto University, you must be bolder. No one knows what unknown difficulties we will face. Only by discussing more can we find problems and build our country better.”
"Being cautious and worldly-wise is not helpful to the progress of our society."
Everyone was stunned, and they were slow to react to this man's sudden words.
Li Ye was about to speak, but Zhen Rongrong interrupted him, saying, "We are all freshmen, and we haven't accumulated enough knowledge yet. We came here with a learning attitude today, so it's not wrong to talk less and listen more."
"What's wrong with freshman year? When we were freshmen."
"Okay, be patient with your fellow apprentices."
Another student in the front row pulled the man back, and then said to Li Ye and others kindly: "He just has an impatient temper, don't take it seriously! Before you can fully understand some issues, it is right to talk less and listen more."
The hot-tempered student was a little unhappy and whispered to his companion: "Nowadays, freshmen have begun to learn the doctrine of the mean. We didn't have so many thoughts when we were freshmen."
"Okay, okay, the lecture is about to start. I'm telling you, you better hold your tongue today! Don't make us fight for you every time."
"Arguing is also a good way to learn and improve. You are just too conservative. Besides, who asked you to help me? Just sit back and watch the show. No, watch me fire my cannon."
Zhen Rongrong and others were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that they were sitting next to a cannon today.
Wen Leyu pulled Li Ye's sleeve, smiled and shook his head at him, as if to say: "Don't worry, there are many passionate young people like this in Beijing University."
Li Ye smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't care.
Nowadays, college students are very straightforward. They cannot tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes. If they find a small problem, they will argue with you for two hours no matter who your name is or how high your status is.
However, college students of later generations have lost this passion and persistence. Everyone has become realistic and is too lazy to waste energy on meaningless arguments.
This seemingly "rational" transformation actually results in the loss of certain positive and enterprising motivations and beliefs.
Five minutes before the lecture was to start, Professor Zhang from the Department of Economics arrived early. Entering through the small door with him were some young teachers and a group of special students.
Li Ye saw Naoto Nakamura and a few blond-haired international students.
The cannon in the front row spoke with contempt.
"How bizarre! A group of students actually sit together with the teacher. Don't they feel that they are unworthy of their position?"
"Old Yu, keep your voice down and don't make Mr. Zhang angry! Otherwise, no one can save you."
"I'm not talking about Mr. Zhang. I'm talking about the people in front of me. They went to Chrysanthemum and came back to be amazing."
The cannon was obviously very afraid of Professor Zhang, and its voice tone unconsciously became weaker.
In the Department of Economics at Kyoto University today, young and middle-aged professors are called teachers, while older professors are called "sir." It sounds a bit old-fashioned, but it is the way everyone expresses respect.
Although Professor Zhang is not old, he is a top figure in the domestic economics circle. Even the most arrogant students have to restrain themselves in front of him.
"Ahem, time's up, let's start."
"Michio Morishima conducted in-depth research on Marxist economics and put forward his own unique insights in labor value theory, reproduction theory, value transformation theory, etc."
Professor Zhang didn't say a word and started talking about Michio Morishima's two most famous research results.
He proved that Marx's two propositions, "the total amount of production price is equal to the total amount of value" and "the total amount of profit is equal to the total amount of surplus value", are simultaneously true, making his model the model closest to Marx's original intention.
Now you know why Michio Morishima was chosen as the research subject during the relatively sensitive period of 1982?
No matter what the theoretical content of his research is, on the surface it sounds like he is from the same school as us!
So everyone at the scene, regardless of whether they understood or not, was listening attentively to Professor Zhang's talk.
Zhen Rongrong and others were taking notes while listening, hoping to remember all the contents of today's lecture.
For freshmen, this knowledge is still too unfamiliar.
Zhen Rongrong felt her hands were cramped from exhaustion and she couldn't keep up with Professor Zhang's speed. Frustrated, she discovered that Li Ye's hands were empty.
"Li Ye, don't you have paper and pen?"
"Oh, I don't need it."
With the help of a "biological hard drive", Li Ye has the ability to remember everything he hears, so he naturally doesn't need paper or pen.
The cannon in the front row heard it again, turned around and looked at Li Ye several times, as if he wanted to remember his handsome face and fire a shot at Li Ye later.
Go somewhere else to pick up girls, why are you showing off here?
The one-hour lecture ended quickly. Professor Zhang not only talked about Morishima's research theory, but also gave many practical examples.
From the perspectives of economics, sociology, education, history and other aspects, it tells the story of the rise of small life in recent decades and its future prospects.
At the end, Professor Zhang said: "So I think that Xiaorizi's economic boom is flawed and deformed.
We need to learn from their experience, but we also need to be careful about their mistakes and avoid the danger of collapse."
Li Ye was shocked.
He was really shocked. He always had a sense of superiority in his heart - "I know everything that you think is unknown."
But at this moment, the sentence that Professor Zhang used at the end made him understand what an "economist" is.
Because just this year, Michio Morishima just wrote the book "Why Xiao Ri Zi is Successful", and with the help of Xiao Ri Zi's booming economic situation, he became famous overnight.
But more than a decade later, Michio Morishima would write "Why the Little Days Will Decline".
In the current situation where Xiao Ri is arrogantly trying to "buy the Statue of Liberty", Professor Zhang boldly predicted the decline of Xiao Ri.
What is a cow pen?
That's exactly it.
However, almost everyone at the scene thought that Professor Zhang's words were just a "two-sided statement" of the flower-growing type. Anyway, the flower-growing people like to have both positive and negative reasons when speaking.
Only Li Ye and Naoto Nakamura think not.
Professor Zhang drank the last sip of tea in his glass, packed up his things and prepared to leave.
After he leaves, it's time for everyone to actively discuss, but this discussion usually ends up turning into a quarrel, a big quarrel.
But Naoto Nakamura stood up, blocked Professor Zhang's way, and said in not very fluent Chinese: "Mr. Zhang, the last thing you said was very wrong and irresponsible. You should correct it."
“.”
Everybody was shocked, even some young teachers were so surprised that they couldn't react for a while.
Although the atmosphere at Kyoto University is very liberal and people are welcome to debate as long as they have different opinions, it is still extremely rare and bold to openly question a "sir"-level figure like Professor Zhang.
Professor Zhang did not get angry. He pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Which of my words do you think is wrong?"
Naoto Nakamura said excitedly: "Sir, you said that our country's rise is deformed and that it is at risk of collapse. Isn't this wrong?"
Professor Zhang said: "I am just saying that it is possible. The characteristics of capitalism lead to its inevitable flaws in theory. Several other countries have verified this problem before, so you cannot avoid this risk either."
Professor Zhang patiently explained a few words. Normally, he would not bother to explain such basic knowledge, but because of Naoto Nakamura's friend, he gave him face.
But Naoto Nakamura insisted, "Mr. Zhang, we are different from other countries. Our people are hardworking, diligent, and intelligent. It only took us a few decades to go through what took them hundreds of years, and we created a miracle that has attracted worldwide attention."
The atmosphere at the lecture became awkward.
Several teachers wanted to step forward to stop Naoto Nakamura, but Professor Zhang waved his hand and told them not to move, allowing Naoto Nakamura to continue preaching excitedly.
Yes, it was preaching. Naoto Nakamura's attitude was already very rude.
Perhaps it was the flower growers' humility during this period of time that made him misunderstand the flower growers' temper and think that the powerful Big Day Empire had returned.
Li Ye, who only brought his ears with him, could no longer hold back.
Many times, the concept of "rationality" is a false proposition.
For example, in a fight in later generations, everyone knows that as long as the other person strikes first, you should not fight back, but lie down immediately and open your phone to choose your favorite motorcycle.
But when the time really comes, with the blood boiling, how many men will be rational and follow their hearts, allowing the other party to beat them, curling up with their heads in their hands and "remaining invincible"?
Li Ye's eyes twitched, and he found that the guy named "Lao Yu" in the front row had begun to tremble with anger.
Obviously, he was going to fire the first shot.
I'm so angry, how can I let you get there first?
Li Ye stood up with his head held high and said sternly, "I'm really sorry, but it seems that the economic prosperity of your life does not depend on your hard work, diligence and intelligence, but on another more powerful country, right?"
I posted it a little late today, and I didn't correct the typos in time. I'm sorry! Sorry, sorry.
