Chapter 60: The Arms Chief
Here Su Xiu and Cai Yong analyzed the current situation of the Wei family and the Southern Huns, firstly, they really saw that Cai Yan's little girl was cute, and they couldn't bear to let him suffer, and secondly, they also felt that Cai Yong was a legend in the late Han Dynasty, but the ending was not much better, Su Xiu wanted to take him to Mount Tai to protect Ichigo, and by the way, help him with education. (Of course, whether it is for education or if he really wants to protect Cai Yong, only this master knows in his heart)
This old gentleman is too kind-hearted, Dong Zhuo in history is the master who has been infamous for thousands of years, this person who dared to pity Lao Dong in front of Wang Yun, who held great power at that time, after his downfall, shows how kind he is.
Cai Yong, now all his thoughts are thinking about what Su Xiu told him to let everyone in the world have books to read, if this thing is done, he doesn't know if it will be famous in history, but for scholars, especially those from poor families, this will be a broad road to realize their ambitions.
Before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population of the Han Dynasty was about 40 million, of which less than 10% were scholars, and 90% of the people who were less than 10% were children of the family or people who were inextricably linked with the family.
For example, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, they are also poor scholars, but if they want to become talents, they must rely on the Pang family to cultivate.
But if Su Xiu's step is really successful, then Taishan will become an academic center of Dahan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that people in the world are out of Taishan. What kind of achievement will it be? What kind of position will the scholars who have become talented in Mount Tai put Su Xiu in? The impact of this is terrifying to think about.
Isn't anyone else thinking of such an achievement? No, someone must have imagined it, but the technology can't reach it. At that time, books were quite precious things, completely copied and transcribed by hand, and bamboo silk and wood chips were used, which were easily affected by the climate, and there was also the erosion of moths, so the preservation of books was also a big problem. From the advent of writing to the present, there are countless lost literary classics, and this is the reason.
If Su Xiu can solve all these problems, then Cai Yong can imagine that the influence of Mount Tai in the future is comparable to that of the Confucian Temple.
"Pindy, what you said is very important, have you ever thought about the implications?"
"I really didn't think too much about the impact or something, I just wanted more people not to say how much knowledge they had, but at least the words still have to be known, people can't just live for the sake of living, they have to have a little bit of at least thought."
When Su Xiu first pondered about this, he was actually reading books at Tong Yuan's place, he just felt that the bamboo slips were too troublesome, heavy, and he couldn't remember much of the content, and it was not easy to preserve, because he saw many books being eaten by rats or moths in Tong Yuan's place, some of which Tong Yuan had newly sorted out, and some of them couldn't be sorted out.
Only then did Su Xiu really realize that the so-called Xuefu Wuche actually knew more things than a high school student in later generations, because these five car books really can't record too many books. Although this is just an adjective, and it is not really just reading five carts of books, it also shows how serious the lack of books and the widespread illiteracy were at that time.
"Pindi, have you ever thought about it, it's okay if you do this, if you don't succeed, then you will completely offend the great family. Most of these scholars come from families, and if you do this, it is equivalent to cutting off their superior status, and they will fight hard with you. ”
"I'm not afraid of this, a group of readers, I have 10,000 ways to kill them. However, Taishan can't afford to toss now, and although this thing is being done now, it is not very perfect yet, so it has not yet started to operate. In the future, I will keep it secret and try to drag out a development time for Taishan. When I'm strong enough to protect myself, I'll make it public, so they won't be able to make any waves. ”
That night, Su Xiu and Zhang Fei did not return to the Hero Building, and stayed in Cai Yong's temporary residence.
The next day, Cai Yan found Su Xiu and said that he had heard that Su Xiu had led troops to fight bandits, and he had to pull him to tell him the story of leading troops to fight.
Su Xiu couldn't help it, and when she saw this little girl, she couldn't help but be angry and wanted to protect her and take care of her, so she had to agree. However, he did not tell the story of him leading his troops to fight, which was too bloody to be told to Cai Yan, but adapted "The Story of the West Chamber", a popular story in later generations, to Cai Yan.
Su Xiu was originally a top student of Fudan, and with more than ten years of hard work in shopping malls, he naturally didn't have eloquence, and the story came from his mouth gently, and he tricked this kind girl's tears out a lot.
"Brother Su, this Cui Mu is too bad!"
"Wow, this matchmaker is so great!"
"Why is this Zheng Heng like this?"
……^
Su Xiu really didn't have much time to accompany Cai Yan here, so he hardened his heart and said goodbye to Cai Yong and Cai Yan respectively.
Cai Yan is such an old child, only eleven or twenty, hearing the story Su Xiu said is very touching, and he is talking about the sound and color, Cai Yan is completely like being in the storyline, as if he is the matchmaker who pulls the string, and as if he is Cui Yingying, who came together with Zhang Sheng after several twists and turns in the story, the whole person is fascinated.
But now that Su Xiu is leaving, Cai Yan knows that if his father hadn't agreed to Su Xiu's request to move to Mount Tai this time, then he might not have had the opportunity to hear such a good story.
"Daddy, don't you really want to go to Mount Tai?"
"Yan'er, it's not that Daddy doesn't want to go, it's that Daddy can't go back this time?"
"Dad, I don't really understand what you said, but I know that what Brother Su said yesterday has moved you, you have been doing studies for half your life, and you may not want to be an official, but if you are asked to teach your studies, you can't refuse."
Cai Yong knows very well how smart his daughter is, who let him get a daughter when he is old? He is naturally afraid of melting in his mouth, holding it in his hand for fear of falling, he loves his daughter, and he will teach her without reservation as long as his daughter wants to learn.
Cai Yan is indeed very talented, what Cai Yong taught her can be mastered quickly, in the history books, Cai Yong was imprisoned by Wang Yun, and thousands of volumes in Cai's house collection were lost, and Cai Yan wrote more than 800 volumes silently.
"Yan'er, you're not wrong, this is indeed my wish, but this may be on the way to the future of Lord Su and the future of thousands of scholars, I can't bear it for my father."
"Daddy, my daughter asked you, do you think you won't do it if you don't go to Brother Su? I think you know Brother Su's personality these days, what he decides will not change, as for you to go, it will be a great favor for him, and if you can't go, he will only regret it, and he will not give up. In that case, why don't you give him a boost, or at least you can help him think of any areas where he can do better. ”
As the saying goes, a word wakes up the person in the dream, and her daughter's words dispelled all Cai Yong's previous concerns. Yes, he has to do it whether I go or not, so what am I hesitating about?
After Su Xiu came out of Cai's mansion, he began his own plan to expand the immortal drunk market, but this time his target was not the common people, but those generals and princes. He thought about it before he came to Luoyang, this time he wanted to use this immortal drunk in exchange for food money, and taking out the immortal drunk on Cai Yong's mansion was also his test to see if someone had imitated this land of Gyeonggi (ji), Cai Yong didn't ask, it was because the topic he picked up made Cai Yong more concerned, but Cai Yong's look had already given Su Xiu the best answer.
Su Xiu spent money again and asked Zhang Rang to take him into the palace, and he must be met at the court meeting, saying that there is a treasure to offer.
