At this time, Xi Zhicai was very excited because he had eaten some wine.

At this moment, outside the government office, with the sound of hurried footsteps, Xun Yu walked straight in, bowed deeply to Cao Cao, and bowed, "Lord, do you know about Xuzhou?" ”

Cao Cao pointed to the top of the case and smiled reluctantly: "Haha, I just learned about it." ”

"Fengyi has already ordered someone to report this matter to me, why is the mountain high and the road is far away, and the person who sent the letter has been delayed, why, you already know about Fengyi's school?"

Xun Yu's tone was a little angry, "Lord, this matter must not be allowed to come to Fengyi!" ”

Xi Zhicai saw that Xun Yu agreed with him, so he was relieved.

"Yingchuan is a talented man, there are hermits in Jingxiang, which of them is not a Confucian scholar!"

"If we implement the policy of running schools in Fengyi, will we not compare them with the lowly people such as doctors, workers, carpenters, farmers, and merchants."

Hearing this, Cao Cao's face changed slightly, but he was still silent, but he kept thinking about it in his heart.

At this moment, Cao Cao was most puzzled by why Xi Yu specially sent someone to send this book to Xuchang.

Based on Cao Cao's understanding of Xi Yu, this person is very cautious in doing things, and generally rarely acts impulsively. Based on the experience he had, Cao Cao had to pay attention to this matter.

At this moment, Cao Cao even doubted whether Xi Yu really had the "Book of Heaven" divine book, or something.

What started out as a joke to increase his fame now seems to be becoming more and more true.

What made Cao Cao even more uncomfortable was that before leaving Xuzhou, Xi Yu had told him to stabilize and stop waves.

But it's only been a few months, and Xi Yu seems to be a little unstable......

Cao Cao fell into deep thought, as for Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, Xun Yu and others, he didn't listen to them at all.

After a long time, Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Please come to discuss the matter." ”

Zhong Xuan is the oldest, and he has a high prestige and knowledge, and is one of the only "everyone" in the scholar class.

Last time Yang Xiu's matter, Cao Cao was not to blame in the past, Zhong Xuan'an shared a lot, and rarely came out to participate in the matter.

At this moment, Cao Cao wanted to know what this old guy thought about Xiyu's schooling.

……

Half an hour later, Zhong Xuan stroked his beard and carefully read the brief book sent by Xi Yu.

He put down the book, looked at everyone, then looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Wen Ruo...... What do you think at this point? ”

"Hehe, I was just about to hear your opinion, why did you ask me about ......!"

Xi Zhicai: "Just hurry up and tell me your opinion, the lord is also waiting!" ”

Cao Cao followed with a smile, "That's it, what do you think, hurry up and wait with me to hear it, don't sell it again." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Miao smiled slightly and said, "This is a great thing......

"Good ......"

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were stunned for a moment.

Xun You was also surprised in his heart: how can the school-running policy implemented by Xi Yu be a good thing?

When Cao Cao on the side heard this, he was immediately curious, "Why is it a good thing, hurry up and talk about the reason." ”

Zhong Xuan immediately said, "Now there is Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Biao in the south, and Sun Ce lives in Jiangdong." In the west, there are Li Dao, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Lu and others, there are strong enemies on all sides, and you are very dangerous to the lord. ”

"Therefore, in my opinion, the act of the drama master and Uncle Guo must be to win the hearts and minds of the people and the people to join them."

Cao Cao was slightly startled and said, "Please elaborate." ”

Zhong Xuan said carefully, "Craftsmen are the foundation of armament manufacturing, and they are very useful in manufacturing armaments and building city walls. ”

"Healers are very useful in saving the dead and helping the wounded, and in stabilizing the strength of the people and soldiers."

"Merchant, promote the circulation of money and grain goods to ensure that there is wealth and food in various places."

"The people from all walks of life are the foundation of the foothold, divided into three hundred and sixty-nine, and the number of people should not be underestimated. Now, once these people can enter the academy, they will definitely reduce the official positions available to Confucian scholars in the future. ”

"Furthermore, have you ever looked carefully at these official positions set up by Uncle Guo, all of which are for receiving money and have no real power."

Xun Yu said, "Once the instructor cultivates a celebrity, his status and identity will be improved, and his power will naturally rise with the tide." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Xuan patiently explained, "Hehe, this is just one of them. ”

"More importantly, as long as the school-running policy of the opera can be successfully implemented in Xuzhou, within three years, after all, there will be a large number of craftsmen, doctors, farmers who are proficient in the art of farming and water conservancy, Confucian scholars with profound knowledge, and people who do business.

Hearing Zhong Xuan's remarks, Cao Cao only felt that his mouth was suddenly opened, and his heart was very shocked, he really didn't expect that Xi Yu's strategy was so powerful.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel excited in his heart: Zhong Xuan, this old man, coincides with me, and it is very much in line with me.

Xi Yu really didn't disappoint me.

Of course, all this is exactly what Xi Yu thinks.

By running the school, more knowledgeable craftsmen can be trained, so that more utensils can be made, and with these utensils, craftsmen can develop more advanced designs.

Zhong Xuan saw that Cao Cao was very satisfied with his remarks, and said more affirmatively: "As the saying goes, those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people. ”

Hearing Zhong Xuan's words, Cao Cao was very convinced, and after a while, he said, "I have made a decision." ”

"Let's go back for the time being, Fengyi's policy of running a school, you will definitely support good students, and I will always support Fengyi."

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others looked at each other, and there were whispers in their hearts, but Cao Cao's words had come to this, and they were unwilling to go against Cao Cao's words, not to mention that Xun Yu was Xi Yu's friend.

It's just that this matter is very important, and several people really don't understand why today's Zhong Xuan supports Xi Yu's deviant move so much.

After coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, several people were very puzzled in their hearts, and they couldn't help but ask, "Lord Zhong, I really don't understand, why do you also support Xi Yu and say such deviant words?" ”

Zhong Miao smiled indifferently and said softly, "Really? I have never said anything deviant, I just said something that the prime minister thinks in his heart, hehe......"

Hearing Zhong Xuan's words, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others suddenly realized that Zhong Xuan had already seen that Cao Cao had already supported Xi Yu's schooling.

At this moment, Cao Cao strode back to the inner courtyard and looked around for his beloved son Cao Ang.

After looking for a while, he found Cao Ang in Mrs. Ding's room, and Cao Cao immediately smiled and whispered to Cao Ang, "Ang'er, I will give you a recognition, and I wish you a good life." ”

Cao Ang has always been smart and sensible, and he is even more knowledgeable, and when he saw Cao Cao, he asked with a smile, "Ah Weng, what do you want me to do?" No matter what happens, as long as it is you who tell him, the child will do his best and never let his father down. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao touched Cao Ang's head very fondly, and said with a light smile, "Now that your uncle lives alone in Xuzhou, your father asked you to go over to be his companion, are you willing?" ”

Cao Ang was puzzled, "Go to Xuzhou to accompany my uncle?" But I'm learning from Aung now, how about that? ”

Cao Cao touched Cao Ang's head and was about to speak, when Mrs. Ding suddenly interjected, "Ah Gou, you have arranged this, but Fengyi has something to do in Xuzhou that makes you feel uneasy?" ”

"If that's the case, why don't I take Ang'er and Sister Ding to Xuzhou and keep an eye on Fengyi for you, how about it?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Hehe, did you go to Xuzhou really for the sake of righteousness?" In my opinion, you just want to go to Xuzhou to play mahjong. ”

Mrs. Ding's face turned red and she didn't dare to say anything more.

Cao Cao understood her thoughts very well.

Since the last time she played mahjong with Fengyi in Dasi Nong's Mansion, Mrs. Ding has never forgotten this thing, urging craftsmen to make mahjong tiles every day.

For this reason, Cao Cao was very annoyed in his heart.

"It's enough for Ang'er to go alone."

With that, Cao Cao handed the book to Cao Ang and Mrs. Ding, and after the two read it, they were shocked.

Mrs. Ding couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a light smile, "Only Fengyi's talent can do such an extraordinary thing, which is really admirable." ”

Mrs. Ding touched Cao Ang, and said reluctantly, "Ang'er, when you go to Xuzhou this time, remember to promise your mother one thing." ”

Cao Ang asked, "What's the matter?" Mother, please speak. ”

Mrs. Ding said, "You promised your mother that within half a year, you must come back to meet your mother, can you do it?" ”

Cao Ang nodded suddenly, "The child promised his mother." ”

But Cao Ang's eyes have been on the various positions in the Jianshu.

Seeing this, Cao Cao decided to test Cao Ang, so he asked him, "Ang'er, what do you think of Uncle's school-running strategy?" ”

Cao Ang stood up, bowed deeply to Cao Cao, and said very confidently, "Uncle's policy of running a school, in the eyes of ordinary people, is a deviant move, and it should be disgraced by Confucian scholars. ”

"However, in my opinion, Uncle Xiao's plan is far-sighted, once the school-running strategy is successful, Xuzhou's poor family and the people will be able to get rid of the control of the family, so that all people with lofty ideals, regardless of class, can gain knowledge, which is of great benefit to Xuzhou."

"Uncle's move, in the eyes of Confucianism, seems to be nonsense, but in fact it is such a far-sighted thing, I expect that Uncle has already had this plan, but I can only wait until after defeating Yuan Shao, when everything is in ruins, then I have the time and energy to carry out this matter."

Cao Cao was very amazed, Cao Ang had such a deep insight as Zhong Xuan at a young age, which made him very pleased and loved, and he continued to take the school entrance examination Cao Ang, "Then tell me again, why did your father let you go to Xuzhou?" ”

Cao Ang replied: "Uncle's policy of running a school is to challenge the authority of Confucianism, and in a short period of time, it will inevitably be opposed by all Confucian students. ”

"I dare to assert that in Xuzhou City now, my uncle's policy of running a school will inevitably be opposed by the scholars in a short period of time. As my father's eldest son, after becoming the prime minister of the court, the official worships the captain of the Han Sili, if at this time in the name of enrolling in school, I go to my uncle's side to help the village, I will definitely be able to block the opposition of the Cao clan and the Hanchen of the court. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was very happy, hugged Cao Ang, and praised him, "Ang'er is very smart, and he loves his father very much!" ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Ding was also very happy.

But at this time, a trace of complexity flashed in Cao Ang's expression, but it was well hidden, and there were deeper thoughts in his heart that he couldn't say, and he didn't dare to say it.

He had an idea in his heart: his father asked him to go to Xi Yu's side, perhaps because he wanted him to secretly learn the talents and strategies of his uncle, so that he could increase his knowledge so that he could replace his uncle one day.

In this way, his Cao clan can no longer rely on Xi Yu.

But this idea is very insidious, Cao Ang has always been grateful to Xi Yu, and he regards his uncle Xi Yu as a family member, so he really doesn't want to believe that his father will calculate his uncle like that.

……

Xuzhou Xiapi, Xiyu's school, although Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang are teachers, but the reputation of the two is really not high, seven days have passed, only a few people have come to study, and none of them are Confucians.

And those poor scholars, as well as ordinary people, are very inferior, and they feel that they are not worthy of entering the school.

On this day, Pu Feng, an engineering teacher, brought his son Pu Yuan to Xi Yu's side.

Xi Yu looked at the immature Pu Yuan, and then reached out to hold him down, and Pu Yuan quickly showed an uncomfortable look.

But Pu Yuan was very strong, he didn't say a word, but said in a deep voice, "Master doesn't need to worry, I understand the principle of the Yuanrong crossbow and the hundred steels as soon as I understand it, and soon I will be able to improve it, even if others don't study, I will definitely do my best to learn!" ”

"I firmly believe that the armament we build will be passed down through the ages!"

"Master, I still know how to refine swords and swords, I believe that as long as I put my heart into it, I will definitely be able to forge a divine weapon!"

Although Pu Yuan is young, he is full of confidence and confidence.

Hearing this, Xi Yu was deeply gratified, and touched Pu Yuan's head, although Pu Yuan was less than seven years old, his figure was like a calf, Xi Yu sighed slightly, "At a young age, he is quite good at coaxing people to be happy, which is very good." ”

Pu Yuan has been learning the method of exercise with Xi Yu for more than a year, and Xi Yu has a lot of love for him.

At this moment, Pu Feng on the side looked at his son Pu Yuan very strangely.

He really didn't expect that although his son Pu Yuan was young, he could understand the design drawings, and even some very strange knowledge, which he didn't understand until now, but Pu Yuan could understand it.

Pu Feng was puzzled, I don't know if it was because of his son's talent, or because of the drama master's hard work!

Pu Feng pretended to be angry and said, "Stinky boy, the idea is not small at a young age, and I have only studied with the drama master for a year, is it possible that you want to be a teacher?" ”

Pu Yuan's face was full of confidence, and he said with a smile, "Of course!" ”

"Father, this iron-smelting technique has a lot of knowledge!"

"The main thing is to melt again! After figuring it out, the iron side can be fused with each other! ”

Pu Feng saw his son talking eloquently, although he didn't understand what his son Pu Yuan was talking about, but he was convinced that the drama master asked his son Pu Yuan to be a teacher, and he must have thought it through, so he didn't postpone it anymore.

It's just that there are very few people who are willing to come to study......

Because, in the eyes of all Confucian students, Xi Yu and the school are a big joke.

For the ordinary people, they are deeply afraid that they need a lot of money to study in the school, and even if they are full of Confucianism, this is invisible, and they don't know if it can really be useful in the future.

If you really want to learn the art of blacksmithing for a living, you can do it in the villages and towns, why do you need to run to the academy, the drama master is inside, and the gap between the statuses makes them afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, those who look at jokes look at jokes, and those who are afraid are afraid, and the school is very deserted after all.

And a group of Confucian teachers, only Xu Jing and Xu Shao found some people to study.

However, few people in the Shimin class still dare to sign up.

They still feel puzzled that if some things are studied together with Confucianism, it will be humiliating to them, so they don't dare to sign up easily.

Faced with such a deserted state in the school, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang came to Xi Yu's side, and the two looked at each other and smiled indifferently.

"Fengxiao, do you have a plan?"

"Of course ......there is," Guo Jia smiled lightly, "However, I see that Kong Ming already has a plan, why don't you just say it?" ”

The corners of Xi Yu's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Then let's talk about it, I'm sorry, I've always had it." ”

It's just that as soon as his words fell, Jia Xu strode in from outside the door of the school, and said in a panic, "Oh no, my lord, your school-running strategy this time has now caused an uproar in the entire Xiapi City and even in Xuzhou!" ”

"What uproar?" Jokingly said.

"Huh?" Jia Xu was stunned, and then persuaded him, "My lord, at such a time, don't joke anymore." ”

"My lord, I have a suggestion, it is better to take the matter of running a school as a policy to benefit the people. For those who are willing to take the initiative to enter the school, no money and food will be charged, as long as the talent is extraordinary, let the common people read and study first! ”

Guo Jia suddenly had a plan, and said in a deep voice, "Not only that, in the Academy of Sciences, adults can be those with excellent grades, regardless of status, and let them hold official positions without real power, so as to attract ordinary people from poor families to come to study." ”

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang nodded approvingly, and then added, "You can also distribute rewards to them, and each subject will be compared with each other, and the corresponding rewards will be awarded to those who can succeed in what they have learned." ”

For a while, from time to time, the three of them talked endlessly, but all ideas were inseparable from one topic, the Hanmen and the common people, Guo Jia and others knew very well in their hearts that as long as they got the support of the Hanmen and the common people, the scholar class was not afraid at all.

Jia Xu suddenly looked at Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang, and said helplessly: "The two adults are deeply loved by the drama adults, and they have received a lot of credit and rewards, why are they still competing with me for credit?" ”

"Besides, it's not easy for me to be where I am today, you two are still young, and there will be many opportunities in the future, why treat me like this."

Seeing Jia Xu's words, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang laughed and said nothing.

This strategy, once the scholars and ordinary people of the poor family are won, and then concoct those people of the scholar clan in the same way, they will definitely be able to convince them.

Xi Yu nodded in praise, full of confidence, "This method is very good, but I have a more powerful method." ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu were stunned for a moment: Master Xi actually has a more shrewd method?

The three of them asked at the same time, "What's the way?!" ”

"Hehe, you'll know when the time comes......"

Xi Yu pretended to be mysterious, and then entered the government office, and Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu followed in.

It's just that the three of them are very curious in their hearts, and they don't know what kind of profound strategies they have.

It was another extremely busy night, and it wasn't until the second half of the night that Xi Yu walked out of the government office exhausted......
