Chapter Twenty-Three: Guo Jia
Sikong Mansion, Cao Ang's study!
Alas! It's obviously a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but none of these guys agreed!
Cao Ang spun around in the study with his hands behind his back, his face was impatient and angry, and his mouth was endless!
The reason why Cao Ang has such an expression is because of the discussion with Cao Cao in Cao Cao's study just now!
…………!
Father, did they say yes?
Zhong Xuan completely agreed, but as for Xun Yu and Yang Biao and a few others, they only agreed halfway!
Cao Cao's words made Cao Ang quite puzzled, and asked suspiciously, what does it mean to only agree halfway?
Yang Biao's old man said, the establishment of the school club, printing a large number of books for students to study, is indeed a good thing for the country, however, the imperial court is now not rich in the treasury, and has been fighting for many years, and the commission can not take out the extra silver taels, this matter still depends on what Your Majesty means!
Lao Yang Biao is playing Tai Chi, and he clearly doesn't want to contribute money and effort!
When Cao Cao heard this, he was puzzled, what is Tai Chi?
Seeing Cao Cao asking himself with a puzzled face, Cao Ang hurriedly explained, Tai Chi means prevarication!
What does Xun Yu mean? Cao Ang didn't want Cao Cao to continue asking, so he hurriedly changed the topic!
Cao Cao didn't have the meaning of delving into Tai Chi at this time, and when he heard Cao Ang's question, Cao Cao replied that Xun Yu was not opposed to the establishment of the school society and the change of font, and also expressed his willingness to use his savings to promote this matter, but Xun Yu said that he couldn't make the decision of the Xun family, as for the Xun family, he still needed the consent of the head of the Xun family to contribute!
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Ang probably understood the meaning, they did not object to the establishment of the school society and the change of font printing, but if they wanted their family to work together to promote this matter, it was unlikely, even a humble gentleman like Xun Yu only euphemistically said that he personally agreed and was willing to contribute, as for what the Xun family meant, he Xun Yu didn't know!
Xun Yu didn't say it, but Cao Cao and Cao Ang understood it, and it was basically the same as Yang Biao!
Now that several families have already expressed their attitudes, Cao Cao and Cao Ang have to think of another idea, after all, those are their family's property, and people are unwilling to come out, so Cao Cao can't rob them, right?
The father and son discussed in the room for a while, and Dian Wei came to report that Xiahou Yuan had something important to see Cao Cao, so Cao Ang retired to Cao Cao and returned to his study!
…………!
The matter discussed by Cao Cao and Cao Ang the day before yesterday was not just a simple matter of changing the font, whether they agreed or not, as long as Cao Cao wanted to do something big and forced, they had no way to take Cao Cao, after all, this kind of thing did not touch the interests of the major families, and the families would not strongly oppose it!
The reason why Cao Cao wants to communicate with several major families first is that Cao Cao wants several major families to pay for the establishment of the school first, and then the major families need to take out the books at home, or even the only books, to print them into a book for students to study!
Considering that there were not so many teachers at the beginning, Cao Cao also wanted to let some clansmen from each family act as teachers, after all, the big families have private settings, and Xu is also literate to the clan, so there is no problem in teaching some children!
But Cao Ang never thought that these families were so selfish, their meaning was obvious, what you Cao Cao wanted to do, you did it well, we have no objection, as for asking us to pay money and people, there is no way!
Cao Ang paced in the room for a long time, but he was also clueless, and suddenly he had an idea, he couldn't think of a way, it didn't mean that others couldn't think of a way, why didn't he ask those smart people?
Cao Ang thought of this, and did not hesitate, and shouted outside the door, come here, prepare the horse, this son is going out!
…………!
The tired little brother went in and said that Cao Ang asked to see!
Xu County, Guo Jia's Mansion, Cao Ang just finished talking to the little guy who was guarding the door in front of Guo's Mansion, the little guy hurriedly saluted Cao Ang, and said in his mouth, the eldest son waited for a while, and the little one went in to report to the master, and as soon as the little guy's voice fell, he had already turned around and ran towards the courtyard, and the other little guy who watched the door led Cao Ang towards the living room!
…………!
The eldest prince came, Jia Youyou missed the welcome, and I hope that the eldest prince will not blame!
When he was young, Cao Ang had just entered the living room of Guo Mansion, and Guo Jia's voice came from outside the door!
Cao Ang saw Guo Jia saluting with both hands, and hurriedly got up and saluted Guo Jia.
Where is the eldest prince......!
After a few polite words between the two, they sat down separately! Guo Jia ordered someone to bring tea again, and he chatted with Cao Ang!
It was only at this time that Cao Ang had the opportunity to take a closer look at Guo Jia!
Cao Ang saw that Guo Jia was dressed in a light blue scribe's robe, with long hair tied in a bun with a wooden hairpin, about seven feet long, his body was slightly thin, his face was slightly thin, his eyelids drooped, and he looked listless, but there were occasional flashes of gold between his eyes, which made people dare not underestimate it!
…………!
Although Cao Ang had something in his heart, the purpose of coming here was to hope that Guo Jia could give him an idea, but he didn't go straight to the topic, but casually chatted with Guo Jia about some other questions!
The two chatted for about half an hour, and Cao Ang was a little patient and asked the question in his heart!
After Cao Ang's explanation, Guo Jia knew what was going on, and after muttering for a while, Guo Jia said, the eldest prince thought about this matter a little simply!
Oh! What does Mr. Bong Hyo mean by this?
Guo Jiaqing coughed and said, they all know the pros and cons, if it is another matter, it is not difficult to let them give some money and talents, but this matter touches their roots, if they are not careful, it may shake their foundation in the future! Then Guo Jia told Cao Ang the key!
…………!
According to Guo Jia, these big families are developed by several generations or even more than ten generations, and the fact that these families can be passed down to this day has a great relationship with the collection of books in their clan!
Don't underestimate these collections, since the Han Emperor Wu deposed the hundred schools, after the exclusive respect for Confucianism, such as the Legalist, the Mohist, the soldier, the vertical and horizontal family, the Yin and Yang Five Elements and other academics, it is not something that ordinary people can easily learn, and the children of these big families, from a young age without worrying about food and clothing, but also received a good education, learning to the knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people to learn, although there are many people who have only learned a skin, there are not a few who are really talented, but they are also much better than those illiterate people, the court in the appointment of officials, and choose from these people!
In this way, after the development of several generations, there will be more and more family members, and the probability of becoming a talent will increase a lot.
After knowing this, Cao Ang understood the reason why those big families disagreed!
