Before Hua Xin finished eating, Cao Cao stood up, looked at him and Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "I still have urgent matters, so I'll leave first.... Leave! He arched his hand towards everyone, smiled and left, the other two did not move, but Hua Xin hurriedly got up to return the salute, Sun Jian's face changed greatly, and he quickly stood up, smiled gently at them, and left in a hurry.

Hua Xin was a little puzzled, looking at the two who fled quickly, and looking at Liu Bei a little strangely.

"Ahem, fourth brother, I'm in a hurry to go out, and I don't have any money with me... The food money for the four of our brothers...."

Sangong still lacks this money??

Hua Xin still paid for the meal, and the old king reluctantly accepted his money, these few people who are not good people have never seen them pay for their own food, and they always pit their own relatives, not people, not people!

Soon, Liu Bei excitedly pulled Hua Xin out of here, but he didn't go towards his own mansion, but walked directly towards Taixue, Hua Xin followed behind him, and Liu Bei asked: "What you just said is what the Son of Heaven means?" Did the Son of Heaven mark the specific expenses and so on? Hua Xin replied: "This is played by the minister, the Son of Heaven asked me to handle this matter, and I thought about the specific cost a little." “

"Sikong, why don't we go to Sikong Mansion to discuss this matter?"

"Let's go to Taixue, don't worry, I have my own arrangements, you and tell me your charging standard, talk about it specifically, I'll help you see..."

"That's the case, ordinary official schools, limited to one year, charge 1,000 yuan, Menzi school charges 5,000, Taixue 10,000...."

"Well... I know, later, you don't talk too much, and leave the matter to me, understand? Liu Bei asked, Hua Xin nodded hurriedly, they said that it was an official school, but the two universities still have their own big sacrificial wine, these two people may not necessarily listen to his words Hua Xin, in addition, Luoyang, there is also a Luoyang official school sacrificial wine, in short, the current official system of the Han Dynasty is a little chaotic.

There is no belonging to each other, Hua Xin is on the same level as these people, and even, Taixue Great Sacrifice Wine is two thousand stones, and his status is even higher than him.

What does this make Hua Xin do? The Son of Heaven also saw this, so he asked him to find Sikong, the three princes were enough to suppress all of them, walking on the road, Liu Bei suddenly dragged a passerby, in the panicked gaze of this passerby, Liu Bei said calmly: "You go to Menzi now, let their sacrificial wine, and the big sacrificial wine of Luoyang, Guo Jia, let these three people go to Tai Academy now, understand??" “

Passers-by widened their eyes and looked at Liu Bei, as if they didn't understand what he was talking about, including Hua Xin on the side, who was also taken aback, Sikong, what are you going to do, just grab a person at will and go to lecture him??

Liu Bei said angrily: "I saw you next to Yuan Shang, are you an embroiderer?" Get on the errand! “

The passer-by just woke up and said helplessly: "Sikong, I am on vacation today and have never come out to work...."

"That's better, just do me a favor, I'll treat you to porridge another day!"

With that, Liu Bei pulled Hua Xin and left, leaving only a stunned embroidered messenger to watch the two of them go away.

The two went all the way to Taixue, there are a lot of foreign students gathered outside the Taixue Gate, these people are here to take a look at Taixue, after all, this is now the holy place in the hearts of the world's scholars, to be able to enter Taixue, it means that it is not far from entering the official career and displaying ambitions.

Walked to the door, there were two guards in charge of the investigation, saw Liu Bei who came, these two guards hurriedly bowed and greeted, Liu Bei often came here, not the first time, the guard at the door, has long recognized this Sikong, and also boasted about this matter everywhere, as his proudest thing, after all, not everyone can know the three princes of the Han Dynasty.

With Hua Xin all the way into Taixue unhindered, many students around him also hurriedly bowed to see, most of the students who were able to enter Taixue to study, most of them were not ordinary people, many of them knew these temple nobles, for fear that if they didn't know, they might collide with them, all the way to the study of sacrificial wine, Liu Bei directly pushed open the door and walked in.

In the study, Taixue sacrificial wine Cui Yan was reading a book, and saw someone walk in without knocking on the door, he raised his head a little angrily, after seeing the person, his anger calmed down, Liu Bei and he are old friends, Cui Yan taught scriptures in the military science, he already knew him, at that time, Liu Bei often came to the military school, looking for his brother Gongsun Zhan, through Gongsun Zhan, these two people also met.

"Even if you are noble, before you come in, you should knock on the door!" Cui Yan said unhappily, and there was no politeness to the third prince of the dynasty, Liu Bei directly pulled Hua Xin to sit in front of him, Liu Bei looked at Hua Xin on the side, and said: "This is Cui Yan, the Taixue sacrificial wine, you should know it...", Hua Xin nodded, smiled and saluted Cui Yan, when treating this person, Cui Yan was obviously much more polite, and hurriedly returned the salute.

"What must be the important thing for the two of you to come?" , Cui Yan asked suspiciously, Liu Bei nodded, and said: "The Son of Heaven is ready to change the current official school system, and the official school will charge fees after that, and the money will also be used on the official school, in addition, the cost of Taixue and Menzi will be increased. ”

Liu Bei's words didn't mean to negotiate at all, it was almost a direct order, Hua Xin looked at Cui Yan in front of him with some concern, he knew that this person, Cui Yan is today, the great Confucian who governs the ram, has countless disciples, and he can be regarded as the banner bearer of the ram after Yuan Zi, including Liu Yi is also his disciple, this person has always been hot-tempered, extremely strong, and the kind of sword that does not leave his body.

He was afraid that Sikong's words would anger this person, and the next thing would be difficult.

After all, he is the chief sacrificial wine of Taixue, and if he wants to increase the tuition fee of Taixue, it will undoubtedly reduce the number of students in Taixue, and this sacrificial wine will definitely not agree.

Sure enough, the corners of Cui Yan's mouth trembled slightly, and he slowly stood up and stared at Liu Bei's eyes.

"Really?? Want to increase the cost of admission to Taixue? ”

"Yes! It is to improve! ”

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"I've finally waited for this day!!" Cui Yan shouted, randomly, he laughed wildly in the study, this unusually loud laughter, but it did not attract anyone's attention, think about it, they are all used to it, including Liu Bei, except Hua Xin, who hid back in some fright, and now the ministers in the temple are too tired, one by one, they all suffer from brain disease.

"How much do you want to raise?" Cui Yan's eyes suddenly widened and stared at Liu Bei.

Hua Xin was about to open his mouth to say 10,000, but Liu Bei suddenly said: "20,000!" ”

Cui Yan shook his head and said, "Forty thousand!" ”

"These traitors all regard Taixue as a gold-plated place, and send their children in through all kinds of bad methods all day long, I have repeatedly forbidden it, and I can't stop it, even His Majesty has advised me not to pay attention to these, so that Taixue is completely full of waste, rich disciples, don't understand anything, do nonsense, I cut a few, and as a result, I squatted in Tingwei for a month!"

"By the way, for the children who are really talented and from poor families, I think the temple can provide assistance and waive the cost, as for those mediocre families, hehehe..."

"Forty thousand, isn't it too much?" Hua Xin asked cautiously, Cui Yan shook his head and said: "Forty thousand is nothing to them, I'm afraid they won't feel distressed, if it weren't for the fear of His Majesty's opposition, I really want to give it to 100,000, the main reason is that there are too many family members, usually a family has to send dozens of disciples in, 40,000 to calculate, I'm afraid that the family will not be able to come again at will in the future...."

"Doesn't Taixue need to be assessed for admission?"

"Is the assessment a problem for these people? They don't dare to mess around with the assessment of the four subjects, but this is too much to learn.... But I can't stop them. Cui Yan sneered.

Hua Xin was silent, as an official of the official school, he didn't know this, it was indeed a little embarrassing, Liu Bei discussed specific matters with them, and while they were talking, someone knocked on the door of the study, and a burly and sturdy man, led a drunken drunk, walked into the study together, followed by a young scribe who was not amazing.

Liu Bei and the others got up and exchanged respects with these people, and before they sat down, Liu Bei introduced Hua Xin: "Among these people, you should know that drunkard, Shang Shuling Guo Jia, there are still some talents.... In addition, this is the sacrificial wine of Menzixue, called as a trick, a man who is both civil and military, that young man.... Well, he is the chief officer of the Luoyang Guanxue Desk...."

Liu Bei thought for a moment, he really couldn't remember the name of this person, he only remembered that this person was born in the assessment, and he was also the crown of the double department, and he had some talents, and he became the chief priest of the Luoyang official school at a young age, and the Son of Heaven seemed to value him a little, but he just couldn't remember his name.

Guo Jia was drunk, glanced at Liu Bei, and said: "Today I am on vacation, drinking is also a private matter, and I have not violated the law...", Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, and couldn't say more, as for the move, he is more like a martial artist than a great Confucian, seeing him like this, Hua Xin was a little surprised in his heart, Liu Bei saw his doubts, and said with a smile: "This person originally served in the Northern Army... Therefore, he was contaminated with some pride, but he studied Confucianism under many people..."

Hua Xin said with a smile: "I've heard of it for a long time. ”

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Bei directly talked about important matters, when Liu Bei finished talking about the official school fee and the Taixue fee, the entire study room was silent, no one spoke, they were all thinking seriously, and they were the first to speak: "If it is Your Majesty's intention, I have nothing to oppose, I will listen to Sikong's orders..."

"Call me over for this, too?? What does this have to do with Shang Shutai? Guo Jia asked even more unhappily, Liu Bei looked at him and said, "Shang Shuling has great wisdom, so he invited him here to ask for advice." ”

Liu Bei looked at everyone, looked at the young man, and asked, "What do you think?" Can the official school of Luoyang be implemented? ”

The young man nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes." ”

"That's good, since that's the case, then I will inform you of the tuition requirements, starting from next year, it will be implemented in Dahan, and the fees collected must be recorded in detail, and look at the number of students, to prevent the government school from being greedy for ink, in addition, it is necessary to truthfully register the students from poor families.... Be aware of this as well, I'm afraid someone will pretend to be..."
