Chapter 10 Meritocracy
Guo Jia's confusion can't change anything, and now Guo Jia is also the only seedling, plus his father has passed away, and his unlucky brother was sent to the grave by his own hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Therefore, Gao Ye is really his closest elder. is not only his senior brother, but also his sworn brother, they all say that the eldest brother is like a father, and now when it comes to marriage, Gao Ye is naturally qualified to make a choice for him. The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, now that Gao Ye and Cao Cao have reached an agreement, do they have any room for opposition?
However, speaking of which, he is now in his twenties, and he is indeed an age when he should marry a wife, and the Guo family now only has his own single seedling, and it is also a proper meaning to spread the branches and leaves. Although I don't know what Cao Cao's daughter looks like, I think my eldest brother won't pit himself.
As for Zhao Yun, Gao Ye quietly told him about the Mi family's desire to marry after the banquet, after all, this matter is not like Guo Jia's family affairs, he and Cao Cao reached an agreement, and it is basically settled. And the matter of Zhao Yun and Mi Zhen, now that the eight characters have not been skimmed, how can he say it under the rule of the public? In case Mi Zhu disagrees, or if there are other changes, wouldn't it be difficult for the Mi family to do it? Therefore, Gao Ye looked at Zhao Yun's flushed face, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the lady of the Mi family in Xuzhou is born with a flower and a moon appearance, and the country is beautiful and fragrant. is not bad at the Mi family's tutoring, and the little lady is also literate and hyphenated, so I think it is also a good marriage. In a few days, I will ask your sister-in-law to go to Mi's house to take a good look at you, if it is good, I will immediately go to Mi's house to help you propose, I think Mi Zhu will not give me this face. ā
Zhao Yun couldn't answer on the side, but Guo Jia was complaining, disgusted that Gao Ye had set him up and didn't say hello to him. Gao Ye also smiled and told today's events as they were. Guo Jia heard that he was a talented person selected by Cao Wan, and he had nothing to say. This matter is obvious, there is no room for refusal, Cao Cao personally came to Gao Ye to talk about it, and there was already a meaning that he was not allowed to refuse. According to Guo Jia's intelligence, how can he not see through the twists and turns? Therefore, he could only reply helplessly: "In this case, it is all up to the eldest brother to decide." ā
"Haha, Fengxiao can rest assured. I also saw Wan'er's girl when she was a child, she was quite delicate, and she also read a lot of poetry and books with Mrs. Ding, in short, she is definitely everyone's lady, Fengxiao, what are you unhappy about? Gao Ye praised Cao Wan for a while, which made Guo Jia's mood better, and then asked about Cai Yan's delivery date and Gao Ye's recent work.
However, Cao Cao, who returned to his bedroom, still did not come out of his excitement, on the one hand, because he drank too much wine, it was really difficult for him to calm down easily because his heart was beating fast. On the other hand, it's because what Gao Ye told him is so exciting that it's impossible for him to be calm even if he wants to.
"My lord, not long ago, the prince said that they tried out a new method of printing books in the academy, and it was quite successful......" Gao Ye told Cao Cao about the situation of the day, whether it was the efficiency or quality of movable type printing, Cao Cao was quite amazed, with his wisdom, how could he not know what this new style of printing could bring him? We have introduced new forms of paper to make it easier to disseminate knowledge. Now with the printing technology, the price of books will naturally drop greatly, so that both the children of the poor and the common people can read. It's nothing in a year or two, but what about ten or twenty years later? I don't need to hug the family's thighs anymore.
But I can think about this matter for myself, and after the family knows about it, how can there be no sense of crisis? But in this fire pit, the family has to jump if they don't jump, otherwise they will face the verbal criticism of the children of the poor family. In addition, with Cai Yong and Xun Jing taking the lead, who dares to say half a word? Especially after Gao Ye popularized the concept of compulsory education and libraries to himself, Cao Cao's mood became even more difficult to calm down. However, although the trick of high night is effective, it will take time to be effective. I also need to think of an idea to ease the situation in front of me that depends on the family!
Cao Cao, who had not slept all night, finally fell asleep in the early morning. Because of last night's banquet, I naturally won't let everyone come to work in the government early today. Although it is considered a busy government now, it is not a big deal to let everyone be lazy for a day. Besides, everyone's position has not yet been determined, and he still needs to discuss carefully with Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others, and the main reason for giving everyone a holiday is here.
Cao Cao slept all morning, and it wasn't until the afternoon that he called Gao Ye, Xun Yu and Guo Jia, ready to discuss the duties of everyone and the plan he had thought about all night yesterday. To be honest, Gao Ye is not interested in everyone's job arrangements at all. And the most headache for Gao Ye is that in addition to the duties of Yingchuan Taishou, he now has an important task to help Cao Cao train his troops. Speaking of the soldiers and horses in Cao Cao's hands now, if you want to talk about elite, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan have some elite soldiers under them. But even if this is a very elite soldier, it is still very inferior to the cavalry under Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. He even heard that Gao Ye had an extremely elite army of soldiers and horses, known as the Trap Camp, and the commander was Gao Shun. Although he had a desire to take these soldiers and horses for himself, for the sake of Gao Ye's face, he still held back in a daze.
asked Gao Ye to help him train today, in fact, he did not have envy and worry about the elite soldiers and horses under Gao Ye. If he hadn't felt that Gao Ye was extremely important to his current self, and Gao Ye was not a very ambitious person who would betray him, he would have attacked these elites under Gao Ye a long time ago. But having said that, why don't you want to have such an elite centaur yourself?
It was also at this time that Gao Ye found out that Mu Xiu Yulin was talking about these military horses under his command. If you want not to be blown by the strong wind, you still have to improve the overall combat power of the Cao army. However, when it comes to military training, he is not good at it, and Gao Shun is an expert. Therefore, Gao Ye strongly recommended Gao Shun to Cao Cao, and asked him to help Cao Cao train his troops, and by the way, to teach those generals how to train their troops.
When it comes to military training, it is still a trivial matter. Cao Cao's next "meritocracy" is the real big thing. Although Gao Ye knew very well that meritocracy was the cornerstone of Cao Cao's ability to pacify the north. After all, in history, because he killed the famous man Bian Rang, the Yanzhou family that originally supported him defected one after another, and his former friends like Zhang Miao were unwilling to serve Cao Cao anymore. Chen Gong even put the wandering Lu Bu into Yanzhou, and almost wiped out Cao Cao's army, so Cao Cao had no choice but to come up with such a strategy, on the one hand, to attract these talented but not famous talents, and on the other hand, to compete with the family.
But today's situation is very different from Cao Cao's situation in history, today's Cao Cao has the favor of the world's corporal because of papermaking, and in Yanzhou, he is also quite obedient to Cao Cao. Besides, although the current Bian Rang is disrespectful to Cao Cao, he is still staying in Jiujiang as his Taishou in the end, why did this Cao Cao suddenly remember this today?
"Mingxi, what you said yesterday has been well understood. Yingchuan Academy is now not only Mingxi's ideal, but also the foundation of my Cao Mengde. How could the college publish books without the financial support of my Cao Mengde? As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Xun Yu and Guo Jia, who were on the side, hurriedly inquired about what was going on. After listening to Gao Ye's lecture on movable type printing, the two of them, without exception, were extremely excited. However, while Xun Yu was excited, he also had a trace of worry about the Xun family behind him. After all, the Xun family is also a member of the family, Cao Cao and Gao Ye's move is simply digging the ancestral grave of the family, how can I not worry about the Xun family? However, this matter is supported by Xun Jing, and it is impossible not to see these problems according to his talent. But Xun Jing has no opinion, thinking that he is still young, he has not thoroughly seen through the pros and cons of this matter. If you have time, you have to go to the academy and ask Xun Jing for advice in person.
Although Cao Cao also feels that his current relationship with various families is quite kind, Cao Cao also understands the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace. What's more, he also knew that the reason why Zhang Miao and others welcomed him into Yanzhou was because of the reputation they won by chasing Dong Zhuo, and on the other hand, it was also because they felt that they were Yuan Shao's younger brother, and letting themselves enter Yanzhou was not much different from taking refuge in Yuan Shao. But the more this is the case, when he and Yuan Shao turn their faces, the internal instability will become, if there is no means to check and balance the family, I am afraid that sooner or later I will suffer in their hands.
Even Xun Yu did not refute this remark, although he is also a child of a family. For Xun Yu now, how to help Cao Cao dominate the world is a more important thing. Cao Cao is right, it is necessary to have some means to balance these families of the Qin and Twilight Chu dynasties. Meritocracy, appropriately.
"Ladies and gentlemen, therefore I think that even if this person is not famous, or he may be insulted, or he may be laughing, or he is unkind and unfilial, as long as he has the talent to govern the country and use the army, he should be of my use."
Xun Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, if he said that his reputation was not obvious, if he really let these unkind and unfilial people become officials, wouldn't it be all messed up under Yanzhou? Corruption of corruption, bribery of bribery, how can the people live with peace of mind?
However, Cao Cao has a different opinion on this, "If Wen Ruo says, I also know it." It's just that now is a troubled time, and people should be hired based on their talents rather than their virtues. Besides, there is a academy, or in ten years, meritocracy can be replaced by official learning, so why should Wen Ruo worry? Moreover, in the past, Chen Ping stole his sister-in-law and awarded money, which was still reused by Gaozu. Six strange plans to help Gaozu defeat King Xiang and pacify the world. If Gaozu uses it, I naturally use it too! This sentence was extremely domineering, and the three of them couldn't say anything to refute for a while.
