Chapter 235: Knowledge Monopoly
Rebuild Taixue.
As soon as these four words came out of Cao Cao's mouth, the remaining civil officials in the hall instantly understood what Cao Cao wanted to do.
Cao Cao is preparing to cultivate scribes and capable people who can handle government affairs, so as to resist their restrictions, this is Cao Cao's counterattack, but the most important thing to rebuild Taixue is not whether Liu Xie's consent can be obtained, but books, knowledge and other backgrounds.
Books are a precious thing in this day and age.
If Cao Cao didn't even have enough books, he wouldn't be able to impart knowledge, then his Taixue would be basically useless.
The place with the most books in the world is undoubtedly their family of scholars, except for their family, there is no second group, for Cao Cao's way of rebuilding Taixue's resistance, the ministers present just laughed.
Fu Wan and Sima Fang, Kong Rong and others glanced at each other, and they could see in each other's eyes the disdain for Cao Cao's reconstruction of Taixue.
With the background of the Cao family, it is difficult to collect so many books to rebuild Taixue.
Even if Cao Cao could get a batch of books and make a large number of books based on these books, the cost was very high and it took a long time, and by the time Cao Cao made the books, it would have been a long time.
They are quite confident in this.
There is no objection to Cao Cao's approach.
"Rebuild Taixue?"
Liu Xie listened to it and recited it twice, as if he could also think of Cao Cao's intentions, and said: "Cao Sikong can rebuild as much as he wants, and I have no problem." ”
Cao Cao said loudly: "The minister received the order, but the minister still wants to ask Your Majesty to make the next holy decree, which is more in line with the rules." ”
"Okay!"
Liu collaborated.
This gave Cao Cao the holy decree and asked Cao Cao to toss.
His purpose now is very simple, he just wants to survive well, and he has no other thoughts.
After the incident, he thought he was going to die, and now he was lucky to survive.
I'm afraid that in the future, I won't be lucky all the time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao said solemnly: "Taixue is our great Han, the foundation of learning, the minister will do his best to rebuild the Taixue in Luoyang, and will not disappoint Your Majesty!" ”
When it comes to the former Luoyang, Liu Xie still misses it very much and has always wanted to go back, but now that he is controlled by Cao Cao, going back can only be empty talk.
"There's nothing else to do."
Cao Cao said again.
Since Cao Cao is fine, Liu Xie has nothing else to do.
The court is controlled by Cao Cao, and even if there is something, Cao Cao privately consults with the people around him, and other ministers can be said to have no sense of existence.
This is the case with the court meeting, and the curtain has come to an end.
Cao Cao received Liu Xie's holy decree, and then gathered the people around him to prepare to rebuild Taixue, which Xun Yu and other scribes naturally agreed, thinking that Taixue should be rebuilt.
Taixue is a great man, the place with the highest learning.
If it is rebuilt, it will mean a lot to their scribes.
If there is no money to rebuild, the method is also very simple, let Chen Zhou arrange to touch the golden captain, and then dig a few royal tombs.
Money is no longer a problem.
But as soon as the news of the rebuilding of Taixue spread, those families began to resist openly and secretly, saying that Cao Cao would not even be able to find people who governed the country, especially those scribes who took the initiative to govern the country, and resisted even more fiercely.
Cao Cao didn't panic at all, and asked Xun Yu to issue an order to seek talents, recruiting talented scribes and scholars in the world, regardless of background, regardless of status, as long as they have the ability, not to mention the poor, even if they are homeless.
Once he passes his examination, he will immediately be able to take up a post in the DPRK.
There are many vacancies in the court, and being an official is a change in many people's lives, and even the entire family, as long as they become officials, their social status can be improved.
As soon as Cao Cao's order to seek talents came out, there were still many people who responded.
For example, those poor families, they seek opportunities to get rid of the identity of the poor family, want to become a scholar, and are very eager to change by becoming officials.
Those families who resisted Cao Cao, seeing the impact of the merit-seeking order, gritted their teeth with hatred and were helpless.
——
While Cao Cao was preparing to rebuild Taixue, Chen Zhou continued to be in charge of papermaking and printing.
said that the problem of good books, he can solve it comprehensively, this is not bragging, as long as these two techniques can be perfected, Cao Cao's Taixue, there will be no shortage of books.
In fact, the technology is not very difficult, it is relatively easy to do, but it is necessary to do these well before the outbreak of the Battle of Guandu, and there is no time to pay attention to the war when it breaks out.
After the preliminary preparations were done, it happened to meet the war, and when he came back from the war, the rebuilt Taixue could be built almost completely, and it could be put into use smoothly to resist the monopoly of officialdom and knowledge.
Chen Zhou threw this to the people below for a few days.
Now the weather is getting colder and colder.
The progress was a little slow, but in the end, it was done, Cao Ang came to Chen's house and wanted to take Chen Zhou to have a look.
When I came to the factory.
I saw Cao Tai and them, and arranged for the workers to put away the air-dried paper, take it back for storage, and then cut it for printing books.
"Sir."
Cao Fu said first when he saw it.
They are still living comfortably here, not only can they learn a lot, but they also have the opportunity to lead and train troops.
After I went back, I was recognized by my father.
It was the wisest choice to stay at the beginning.
Compare Xiahou Heng and them, it is completely different.
"How's it going?"
Chen Zhou asked as soon as he came.
"Sir, it's all done."
Cao Fu picked up a piece of paper and said, "According to Mr.'s plan, we made several different types of paper, some for painting, some for writing, and some for printing, this is the paper used for printing." ”
Chen Zhou took the paper, took it in his hand and weighed it for a while, it still looked rough on the surface, but it was thick enough, and it was no problem to print, and praised: "It's done well!" ”
"There's also progress on the printing side."
Cao Tai said: "We tried to print the first book, and the idea of the gentleman was really amazing, and we bound a copy of "University" on paper, which is very light and thin, much better than bamboo slips, and it is not difficult to hold it in our hands." ”
The most important thing is that these books, as long as the layout is done well, can be printed and bound in batches, which can save a lot of trouble of hand-copying.
The appearance of these books can definitely bring down the value of all the books in the world.
As soon as Cao Tai's words were finished, he handed over a copy of the printed "University" to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou opened the page of the book and looked at it, the binding was very good, the content of the printing was also clear, and there were no other problems for the time being.
"Not bad!"
After Chen Zhou finished reading it, he threw the book back and continued: "Print a few more sets of all our books, and then send them back to the lord to see." ”
"Yes!"
Cao Tai and Cao Fu nodded.
Cao Ang said: "With the technology of Mr., the printed books are enough for us to use in the rebuilt Taixue, and there are many people outside who laugh at my father for rebuilding Taixue, but in fact, he is working in vain, and he suddenly feels ridiculous." ”
In their cognition, there are not enough books to support it, and the practice of rebuilding Taixue is indeed in vain.
"It's not just too much learning."
Chen Zhou said: "I also have an idea, in Taixue, build a library of books, including books from all over the world, all kinds of books, so that people can come in and read them at any time." ”
This is the real way to break the Maison's monopoly on knowledge.
