Chapter 15: The Hundred Schools of Thought Gather
At nightfall the next day, the donations of forty-three wealthy merchants were sent into the treasury of the Hou Mansion from the back door, plus the income from selling tickets, totaling more than 800,000 gold, piled up like a hill, which was really a lot of wealth!
As for donating money at night and going through the back door, this is the inferior nature of businessmen, who pay attention to wealth and do not show money, no matter what business they do, only by secretly trading, they have a sense of security!
With a lot of power, rich and wealthy, and more than 800,000 gold in his hand, Xiao Yi was suddenly full of confidence, and the next thing is how to use this huge amount of money to play the greatest role!
The first step is to take advantage of the opportunity of the end of the autumn harvest and the free time of the people to recruit 150,000 craftsmen and people again to invest in the second phase of the project of Zhengming Academy, and strive to complete all the construction of the project before the spring of next year, and then there are still big things to do!
In this way, not only does it not idle manpower, but also allows the people to have enough to eat, have wages to pay, and can also confuse the eyes of the princes and hide the military operations behind, which can really be described as killing three birds with one stone!
The second step is to use sufficient funds to purchase a large number of timber, bamboo, stone, bricks and tiles, copper and iron, and sand...... Forty-three businessmen were put in charge of all kinds of building materials, and priority was given to them in the project, which is called 'take from the business, use it for the business!' ’
Gold is a waste in the treasury, and it is money when it flows, stimulating the prosperity of commerce and trade, so that the people can make money, and the country will have more taxes.
While purchasing materials, Xiao Yi also secretly ordered merchants to secretly hoard grain, forage, pig iron, cowhide, beef tendon, and arrows and bamboo...... All armaments and materials, even at the cost of transportation capacity and money, sent people to the four states of Hebei to buy grain and iron tools at a high price, and it is best to hollow out the Yuan family's funds and fill their own warehouses!
The third step is to prepare for the controversy conference, hundreds of schools of thought, gathered in Xuchang, up to thousands of people, and mixed, good and bad, there are masters of hundreds of schools, there are scholars who sincerely want to learn, and there are spies sent by the princes, trying to sabotage Cao Ying's talent search plan!
For this matter, Xiao Yi has already had a countermeasure, that is, to screen layer by layer, remove the inferior and retain the good, use the fake to the fake, catch the spy, who dares to sabotage the Controversy Conference, his own sword will not be merciful!
The so-called 'Zhuzi Hundred Schools', is just an imaginary number, the Spring and Autumn Period of the Big Bang of thought, how many schools of thought were derived, no one can say, some schools gradually died out, and new schools were born, such as the expanding Buddhism, which was spread from the West during the period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and is now among the hundred schools!
There is day and night in the sky, the earth is clear and turbid, and the hundred schools of thought are also uneven, that is, there are Confucianism, Legalism, soldiers, and Mohists...... These are those who benefit the country and the people and promote social progress, and there are also hidden families and witch families...... Such an evil sect that advocates escapism, opposes social development, and even sacrifices with the blood of living people!
Therefore, Xiao Yi strictly checked, screened layer by layer, and vigorously supported the schools that benefited the country and the people, so that they could recruit a large number of disciples, and for the schools that pretended to be gods and ghosts, harmed the country and the people, he did not hesitate to use force to make them disappear from the world!
As for the spies of the princes, there are only two purposes: one is to sabotage the contention conference and suppress the prestige of the Cao Ying group; The second is to fish in troubled waters, attract some talents to go back, and expand their own strength!
Xiao Yi also has a way to deal with this, when he was in the prison, he got acquainted with some ruffians, freaks, and corrupt officials, these people can't do good deeds, it's no problem to cure evil with evil, all of them are mixed into the hundreds of schools, pretending to be erudite and Confucian, and then spreading some reactionary remarks, so that the spies will inevitably come forward to win over, as long as one shows up, then kill one, this is called leading the snake out of the hole!
After the arrangement, Xiao Yi notified the hundred schools of thought to enter the Zhengming platform five days in advance, recuperate well, and strive for a blockbuster.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Dr. Kong is full of red face, full of confidence, profound Confucian heritage, and full of talents, he will be able to convince the world and win the top of a hundred schools!"
"Why don't you wear boots when you go to the conference...... It turned out to be a child of the Mo family, barefoot for thousands of years, what a real perseverance! ”
"The eyes are shaking, shining, and there is a big group of bald ...... There are a lot of monks, Master Yixiu will be able to make a splash when he comes to say the Dharma, and the monks will show mercy to the little Taoist priest and give the little Taoist a way to live! ”
……………………………………………………
Hundreds of schools of thought came one after another, including Confucians with high crowns and foreheads and dignified appearances, Mohists with coarse linen shirts and tools on their backs, and Buddhists wearing robes and holding gold bowls...... Even Mr. Hua Tuo, who hangs the pot to help the world and heal the sick and save people, also brought a group of medical disciples to participate in the conference!
The number of hundreds of sects, as many as hundreds, as few as dozens, of course, there are also some more pitiful, kitten three or two sects, it is estimated that they will not be able to recruit disciples, and the inheritance is about to be cut off...... It takes a lot of care!
Of course, there are also some evil people who are crooked, who fish in troubled waters, or who have bad intentions and sincere sabotage, and it will be more troublesome to deal with these guys!
"Let go of the freedom of study and theory, and reproduce the contention of a hundred schools" is a decree issued by the imperial court, people come from afar, whether it is good or bad, what the purpose is, after all, the person who comes is a guest, if you refuse to leave, I am afraid that it will cause disputes, make the children of hundreds of schools restless, and the contention conference will fail!
But let them in, for fear of deliberately causing trouble and disrupting the proceedings of the conference, in case the assassins are mixed in, and there will be bloodshed, it will be a big trouble!
Fortunately, these guys are bad, Xiao Yi is worse than them, just raise your hand, and the problem is solved!
If it is Confucianism, Mohistism, Buddhism...... When these righteous sects came, when Xiao Yi welcomed them, he would raise his right hand, and when his attendants saw it, they naturally led them into the school, and they were treated like guests!
If the evil sect is crooked, or feels that there is a problem, Xiao Yi will raise his left hand while welcoming him, and after the attendants see it, they will also lead the other party in, and when they go to a secluded place, they will be put on a sack, beaten with a stuffy stick, and strictly interrogated, so that they will disappear forever!
"All the sons and hundreds of schools gathered, closed the door of the school, and waited only five days later, and they competed on the stage to discuss the high and low!"
Xiao Yi was busy for three days, his face cramped with laughter, and his tired arms were weak, he finally completed the reception task, and was ready to close the door of the school, go home and take a good rest, he hadn't hugged his son for several days!
"Da! Da! …… Wait, don't close the door, the house hasn't entered yet...... Drive! Drive! ”
On the avenue in front of the school, dusty and hoofed sounded, a little black donkey appeared, running hard, and on it lay a young man, covered with dust, looking anxious, and carrying a large package, which was the last home - the White Viscount!
After Viscount Bai left Huashan, he went to the local government to report and prepare to participate in the controversy conference, but there was a problem, and the family was not taken seriously!
On the one hand, the participants in the conference were all Confucianists, Mohists, soldiers, and Legalists...... If these useful people send a waste home and waste the country's money, isn't it disadvantageous?
On the other hand: no one can deny it, home is also one of the hundred, if you don't send it over, and I'm afraid that the court will blame you, it's really a dilemma!
The official in charge of the reception is also an old fritter, and he came up with a compromise plan, not to be escorted by the imperial court's post station, but to let Viscount Bai go alone, so that he can save the country's money and not violate the will of the imperial court, which can be described as the best of both worlds!
Of course, the road is long and dangerous, and the government also wants to express the help that Viscount Bai has received: a little donkey, two copper coins, fifty catties of coarse grain, and a copy of the government's road guide!
The same is the hundred families of the princes, others eat and drink well, and they also ride high-headed horses, gnaw dry food by themselves, sleep in the field, only ride a donkey, and don't take the family as a talent, Viscount Bai was angry in his heart, but he had no choice but to set off depressed......
The mountain is high and the road is far away, the journey is difficult, the white viscount is a road blind, lost the road several times, almost died in the mouth of the beast, fortunately, this little donkey is really powerful, that is, smart, and brave, galloping like flying, amazing endurance, always able to find the way, but also evaded robbers and robbers, rushed out of the wolf pack, after countless tribulations, finally came to Xuchang City!
Out of gratitude to the little donkey, Viscount Bai secretly decided to write a book to praise its heroic deeds, and the name was thought of, just "The Adventures of the Divine Donkey - Let's see!" 》
"Bold and fanatical, in tattered clothes, like beggars, and dare to pretend to be hundreds of students, and quickly dismount...... Get off the donkey and be tried! ”
Two soldiers armed with spears stepped forward to block the road, and the children of all the sons and families came, all escorted by the government, this guy riding a donkey, must be a fake, the two stretched out the spear shaft, inserted between the four hooves of the donkey......
"Ahh …… Poof! …… Crash! ”
After a loud bang, the little donkey flipped to the ground, and let out a cry of dissatisfaction, and the white viscount fell out more than two feet away, almost carrying his back, and the large package also spread out, and many bamboo slips fell out......
The two soldiers held down the White Viscount, ready to take him to a place where no one was around, and secretly execute him, and they did this kind of thing several times...... The inheritance of the family is about to be severed!
"Slow down! …… Home is a rare variety, and you can still meet it, it's really God's eyes! ”
At the critical moment, Xiao Yi stopped the two soldiers, looked at the grizzled Viscount Bai, and picked up the bamboo slips...... "Qinglou Sleepwalking", "The Story of the Girl Sichun", "The Legend of the Folk Husband Cultivating Immortals", ...... Such a vulgar reading material is indeed from his own hand!
Xiao Yi was an otaku in his previous life, and he was also a fan, he liked to cultivate immortals, fantasy, history, military affairs, and he also studied some forbidden books, but unfortunately after crossing over, he couldn't see it, and he has always been a pity, but he didn't expect to meet a family, it's really an eye-opener!
"This person is a family, and he is also one of the hundred families of the princes, take him into the contention platform, arrange an upper room, and take good care of him!"
Xiao Yi asked the White Viscount to be brought in, bathed and changed, and given food, as for a few volumes, they were all in his pocket, and some of them were read tonight!
