"Build a county school?" A few days later, Cai Yong was invited to the Minghou Mansion, and Hu Zhao personally discussed the matter with him, he was quite surprised, but he strongly agreed: "This is a good thing, it will surely benefit the people!" ”

"This matter is not easy to do, our Minghou Mansion is now planning the southern expedition of the next year, and we really can't get away, but the lord believes that the cultivation of talents is urgent, so we are ready to let the Right Changshi Mansion personally take charge of this matter!" Hu Zhao said with a smile.

"What, let the old man be in charge?"

When Cai Yong heard this, his smile froze, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he squinted at Hu Zhao.

"What are you doing?"

Cai Yong asked cautiously.

"Cai Gong's words are different, how can we dare to play tricks in front of you, but this construction of a county school is not a simple success, it not only requires a lot of financial resources, but also needs a lot of talents who can be Confucian teachers, and we Minghou Mansion really can't find a person who can't take on this important task, and now only Cai Gong can have such a calling power to make Yizhou scholars follow!"

Hu Zhao said: "Now our Minghou Mansion is in financial difficulties, but the lord is still willing to spend a lot of money to build a county school, the original intention is to hope that more talents will be cultivated for Yizhou, so that more poor scholars can read and write, which is a great righteousness!" ”

"As for selfishness, the lord has never shied away from it, he hopes that there will be more talents in Yizhou, so that Yizhou will be more prosperous!"

He paused, and then said: "In the past, running schools was the power of the wealthy families, and the poor scholars had no way to study, if there were poor children running schools, they would be hindered, there were few books, and Confucian teachers were difficult to find, all of which were difficult, but now we have papermaking, movable type printing, and the trouble of books, which is worry-free, just wait for Cai Gong to raise his arms and call Confucian teachers from all sides, and then establish a county school in every county town in Yizhou!" ”

He worked hard to persuade Cai Yong to come forward, not simply calculating Cai Yong, but this matter, looking at everyone up and down the entire Minghou Mansion, only Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao can do it.

"The old man has so much influence?"

When Cai Yong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"Cai Gongxue has studied through the past and the present, is knowledgeable, is the great Confucian of Shilin, the great sage above the court, among the scholars in the world, the reputation is prominent, and the people who respect it in the world are eight or nine times out of ten, as long as you are willing to speak, it doesn't matter who it is, who does not obey it!" Hu Zhao hurriedly said.

"Although this matter is intentional, but there is also a holdback, the old man has to think about it carefully, and then reply to you!"

Cai Yong thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

With his ingenuity, he could naturally see that Mu Jing had the intention to tie his hands and feet and press himself on top of this mess, where did he get the time to plot with Chang'an.

However, this matter is a far-reaching policy for Yizhou.

If he delays this matter because of the struggle for power and profit, he will not be able to pass the threshold in his heart.

That's why he seemed so hesitant.

"Cai Gong, this is the South Study has made a preliminary plan these days, and the time left for us is not short, we plan to build six county schools in Jiangzhou, Nanzheng, Chengdu, Wuyang, and Ruoxian after the beginning of the year, and enroll students after the beginning of spring as soon as possible, and the time is very urgent!"

Hu Zhao handed a dossier to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong opened it and looked at it carefully, this depicted a kind of future, which made him yearn for it more and more, reading books is a difficult thing, if a county school can be opened, how many readers will be added to Yizhou.

It's a little exciting to think about.

However, he still calmed down, took the dossier, and said in a deep voice: "The old man of this dossier will take it back, study it carefully, the old man has this matter in mind, no matter whether the old man will take the lead from it, the Minghou Mansion can have this heart, and the old man will do his best to help!" ”

After Cai Yong left, Hu Zhao walked through the long corridor from the long history room in the side hall, passed the small door, and then walked to the main hall, and saluted Mu Jing who was kneeling on the desk: "Lord, the file has been given to him, and it can be seen that he is very excited!" ”

"Just be tempted!"

The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised slightly, revealing that he was in a happier mood, and couldn't help but joke to himself: "This son-in-law is going to calculate his father-in-law, and I don't know if there will be thunder and thunder!" ”

"Will he take over?"

Hu Zhao was a little unconfident: "Now that he has a hot fight with the state pastor's mansion and has close ties with the imperial court, once this task is next, the trust between them will have a great impact, and even Chang'an will think that he is no longer loyal to His Majesty!" ”

"With Cai Gong's wisdom, it is not difficult to see that we are going to use this matter to confine him within a range, if he doesn't follow this matter, it will also be Li Sodang's business!"

"No!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "I know this old man, he will, if he is a person who looks forward and thinks backwards, and is wise to protect himself, he will not be angry with Shengyan and exiled to Jiangdong because of his advice, and he will be persistent in what he believes!" “

"Even if Cai is fair, this county school is not easy to run!" Hu Zhao said in a low voice: "This is undoubtedly digging the foundation of those scholars, the reason why these scholars are scholars and superior to others is that they think they have books to read. ”

"It's okay!"

Mu Jing smiled: "At present, I will not completely turn my face with them, after all, my ass has not yet sat firmly on this chair, and the benefits that should be given to them still have to be given, I have already figured out a way to appease them!" ”

He thought about it and sighed again: "This county school was not prepared to be established so early, but now the lack of talents has become the weakness of my Minghou Mansion, how can it be allowed to come, in this way, I am afraid that it will have to hemorrhage a little, so it will be done!" ”

In fact, Mu Jing was not prepared to develop education so quickly, and even in the past four or five years, he did not have this idea, because now Confucianism is in charge, and all the scholars are Confucian children.

It's not that Confucianism is bad, but Confucianism has its own merits if it can maintain its nearly 2,000-year-old career.

However, for the open-minded Mujing, this is not his vision.

He wanted to open up a new school.

Although Xinxue also has a Confucian foundation, it is more of a fusion of Yixue, Moxue, and other theories, and he hopes to develop the field of mathematics, so as to extend the emergence of subjects such as physical chemistry and so on.

The development of science and technology is inseparable from the development of physics and chemistry.

But this is bound to touch the bottom line of some scholars, not only Cai Yong and other clear streams, but even Hu Zhao, Xi Zhicai, Liu Jin, these Zhongliang Zhuzhu of the Ming Marquis Mansion will have opinions, because they are also Confucian children, and they go against Confucianism and go against what they have learned.

They have studied the Confucian classics all their lives, and although they have their own understandings, they have never been able to pick out this box, and it is simply impossible for them to accept the new doctrine immediately.

Therefore, Mu Jing prepared to wait until the situation was more stable and Yizhou was more stable, he completely controlled Yizhou, and then used the influence of the military to forcibly suppress and promote the idea of new learning.

But now, the increasing shortage of talents has made Mu Jing have to give up the idea of implementing a new school on his own.

In any case, let's train some talents to come out.

Otherwise, if Mu Jing attacks Jingzhou in the future, or goes north to Chang'an, even if he wins, if he does not have a descendant as an official and suppresses the people, it will be useless.

……………………

Mu Jing's understanding of Cai Yong was not released for no reason, three days later, Cai Yong came to discuss this matter with Hu Zhao and Liu Jin again, and he came out and was willing to come forward in person to build a county school.

When this news came out, it caused a lot of waves in Yizhou.

Many people are speculating about the level of cooperation between Cai Yong and the Minghou Mansion.

At this time, the time began to enter December, the weather is getting colder and colder, the snow in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and the climate is beginning to enter the real cold winter wax moon.

For Mujing, the end of another year has arrived!
