Chapter Ninety-Two: Wanting to Establish a College
"Teacher, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you to help with." Liu Yao said.
"What's the matter?" Cai Yong asked suspiciously.
"That's the kind of teacher, I still haven't said a word, so I want to trouble you, teacher." Liu Yao said with some embarrassment.
Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, this can be said to be his dereliction of duty, although men generally wait for the crowning time to take the word, but for people like Liu Yao who have a more noble status, or have a great Confucian like Cai Yong as a teacher, it is still very common to take a word in advance.
"Yao'er, you come with me." As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the backyard. Liu Yao naturally followed slowly.
It didn't take long for Liu Yao to follow him to a place similar to a warehouse, pushed the door and walked in, and the next moment Liu Yao was stunned. Inside are dense bamboo slips, or bamboo slips engraved with words, these are all kinds of books that Cai Yong has collected over the years.
Cai Yong looked at Liu Yao's expression and said proudly, "Yao'er, how do you see me in the library?" There are all kinds of unique books in it. ”
"Huh." The corners of Liu Yao's mouth twitched, and he said with a dry smile: "Teacher, how many books do you have here, and where did you get them?" "To say that the scale of Cai Yong's library is estimated to be worse than that of Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
"I can't remember how many. Anyway, it's definitely more than 10,000 rolls. Many of them I bought with money, and many of them were given by my friends. But it was His Majesty who opened the royal library for the most part, and it took me years to copy all the books inside. Cai Yong said quite smugly.
Liu Yao looked at Cai Yong with admiration. You must know that this is not the afterlife, and with good paper, it is more convenient to copy even if it is written. Paper in this era was expensive and not durable. Therefore, the transcription is basically engraved on bamboo slips. Often a book has dozens or hundreds of bamboo slips. And Cai Yong has at least more than 5,000 volumes copied by Cai Yong himself, which shows the effort he has spent.
At this time, Cai Yong began to read among the millions of bamboo slips. Choosing words for Liu Yao is a big deal, and there is no room for sloppiness, so Cai Yong must turn through the books carefully before he can decide.
At the same time, Liu Yao was silently reciting in his heart, "How many lottery chances do ancient books, papermaking and movable type printing take in total?" ”
"Host, you need a total of twenty lottery chances, please ask if the host is redeemed." It is estimated that the voice of mechanization appeared in Liu Yao's mind.
"Nima." Liu Yao couldn't help but curse in his heart. I worked hard to complete a task, and then I finally got twenty-eight lottery chances, and now I have only a fraction left. But Liu Yao's natural way of paper is also the importance of movable type printing, or gritted his teeth and said, "It is estimated that it is huàn." ”
"Congratulations to the host for the success of the huàn, the host still has eight chances to draw the lottery." At this time, the drawings must have appeared in the ancient books, but now it is inconvenient for Liu Yao to take them out, so he should go back to Youzhou to make plans.
With paper and movable type printing, then paper books were available. At that time, Liu Yao's Faculty of Arts can also be established. With the help of Cai Yong, a great Confucian, the teachers of the academy will naturally not have to worry at that time, and there will be countless civilian talents who will come out of their own academy to work for themselves.
At that time, the imperial examination system was coming out. The shape of the family's monopoly of talents, and the shape of the children of the poor family who cannot get ahead, will also be broken. Not only can it bring a large number of talents to Liu Yao, but it can also deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the family. Killing two birds with one stone
"Ahh Pregnant. At this time, Cai Yong's excited cry interrupted Liu Yao, who was thinking about it. "Yao'er, come and see this, okay?"
"Please also ask the teacher for advice." Liu Yao said respectfully.
Cai Yong shook his head and said, "Yao'er, you are the eldest son, Uncle Ji is the uncle, Yao, Gao, it is better to call Bo Gao." ”
"Bergo. Liu Bogao. Liu Yao read it a few times by himself, and felt quite smooth, so he agreed. As for the meaning of this Bogao word, Liu Yao didn't want to know, and he didn't bother to know.
"Listen to the teacher." Liu Yao Liu Bogao said.
After solving the problem of Liu Yaozi, the two returned to the hall. Liu Yao was ready to discuss the matter of the academy with Cai Yong. By the way, I have to bring Cai Yong, an old man, to Youzhou, lest he have any problems in Luoyang in the future.
"Teacher, I have something that can benefit all the people in the world, and I hope that the teacher will help." Liu Yao said.
"Oh, what's the matter? If it can really benefit all people, the old man should be duty-bound. Cai Yong said firmly.
Liu Yao said with a smile: "I am willing to establish a academy in Youzhou to exempt those poor children from all expenses." On the one hand, we can let all the children of those poor families go to school, and on the other hand, we can also cultivate some capable talents from poor families in Youzhou to work for me. I wonder if the teacher is willing to help me? ”
"Good, good!! Yao'er, your move is righteous. Cai Yong listened excitedly and said three good things in a row. You must know that he Cai Yong was also born in a cold family. When I was a child, I naturally experienced the pain of having the heart to go to school, but not being able to implement it. Now Liu Yao can let the children of poor families go to school for free, which is exactly what Cai Yong's heart is talking about. He had no reason to be unwilling?
"Yao'er, such a righteous man, the old man should wish you a hand, if there is anything you need for me, just say it." Cai Yong smoothed his beard and said with a smile.
"Hehe, teacher, in terms of money, I am very rich in Youzhou, but what is lacking in this academy is sir. I hope that the teacher will help you in this regard. I also want to wronged the teacher and serve as the dean of Youzhou Academy. I might as well borrow your old reputation in Shilin. Liu Yao said with a smile. After all, this Youzhou is not like Jingzhou and other places where literati are everywhere, so they can only rely on Cai Yong's appeal.
"Yao'er, don't worry, when you establish Youzhou Academy, I will send an invitation to my old friends, and when the time comes, many people will definitely join." Cai Yong agreed without thinking about it. After all, this teaching and educating people is a great merit. Cai Yong naturally will not refuse.
"Huh. In this case, Yao'er is here to thank the teacher. After the academy is established, Yao'er should give a gift, and I am afraid that the bamboo slips in the teacher's library will not be used at that time. Liu Yao said with a smile. It is self-evident how attractive this printed book is to readers, especially Confucians like Cai Yong. That would certainly cause a major change in the literary world.
"Oh, what is it?" Cai Yong asked curiously. He was convinced that he was looking for an apprentice. For a while, my heart was a little itchy.
"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak." Liu Yao pretended to be mysterious and said.
Cai Yong rolled his eyes when he heard this, and called the apprentice careless.
"By the way, Yao'er, you asked me to recruit some talented people for you before, and this time, one of my disciples, that is, your senior brother, will come to visit me. I'll introduce him to you when the time comes. Cai Yong said.
"Eh, I didn't know that there was another senior brother, teacher, what is the surname of the senior brother?" Liu Yao was stunned for a moment and asked curiously. He didn't remember that Cai Yong had other disciples. Originally, there was a Wei Zhongdao in history, but with the emergence of Liu Yao. The sick ghost didn't know where to go for a long time.
"This person's surname is Gu, his name is Yong, and the character is sighing. He is a native of Wu County, Wu County. Cai Yong said.
Liu Yao was overjoyed when he heard this, this Gu Yongke is also a big fish, the prime minister of Wu in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, and he is also an absolute internal affairs talent. I didn't expect Gu Yong to be Cai Yong's disciple, which is really unexpected.
