Chapter 105: Attacking and Defending

After instructing those scholars to take the "Persuasion of Learning" and post it all over the streets and alleys.

Chu Mo immediately asked Li Jin to investigate why the teenagers in the city who were of the right age to enter the academy did not come to sign up.

Obviously, there must be something else hidden in this!

Li Jin's efficiency is still good, and it only took less than half a day to find out the truth of the matter from several households.

It turned out that someone secretly told the people in the city that if everyone went to the academy to study, there would be so many talented scholars at once, and how many people would be able to enter the court to become officials?

As for the rest of the people, isn't it a waste of good time in vain, and they can't become officials, so what's the use of reading so many books in vain?

Although these people are not smart, they also understand in their hearts that if they want to enter the court as officials, in addition to their own talents, they also need to have two conditions, either there are people in the court, or there is money in the family.

And for these poor people, how can they have acquaintances who are officials in the court? Even less so if they have money in their families.

Since they don't have these two conditions, even if their children go to the academy to study, how will they compete with others for that official position in the future?

Seeing that there was no hope of becoming an official, and then being exaggerated and intimidated by those people behind their backs, these people in the city decided one after another not to send their children to study in the academy.

It's a pity that Li Jin only investigated for half a day, and those who instigated the people not to let their children go to the academy to study only had a few words with them.

It's all mysterious.

Even if it is Li Jin, it is difficult to find out who is behind the scenes for a while.

However, even if he didn't find out who was behind the scenes, Chu Mo could guess that the people who tried his best to prevent him from implementing the new learning strategy were none other than the right minister, the boss, and the fourth.

After reporting the found news to Chu Mo, Li Jin stood next to him and asked, "Your Highness, does the old slave still need to continue to investigate?"

"No need, Gu doesn't have the time to deal with them now, let's finish this new school plan first!" Chu Mo replied with a faint wave of his hand.

Although Chu Mo did not let Li Jin continue to investigate, he secretly let Qin Lang, with those princes, secretly ambush all over Kyoto.

Once it was discovered that someone was deliberately instigating the people not to participate in the new school policy, the prince would secretly follow, and when he arrived at a place where there was no one, he would arrest all those who instigated the people.

For the sake of the new study policy, Emperor Chu gave Chu Mo a lot of authority, in addition to directly transferring the officials of Wenyuan Pavilion and Guozijian. Chu Mo can also ask the Kyoto Yamen to secretly cooperate with his arrest and secretly put the prisoners he caught in the Kyoto prison.

So, for three days in a row, the prince led the secret arrest of nearly 100 prisoners, and those who instigated the people in the city finally disappeared.

In addition, the "Persuasion of Learning" written by Chu Mo himself also played a great call for effect, and on the first day that those scholars posted the "Persuasion", hundreds of teenagers came to sign up for study, and in the following days, the number of people who signed up was also increasing.

Everything was expected by Chu Yang.

In this way, after another half a month, the number of school-age teenagers who came to sign up for study has reached as many as ninety percent of the school-age teenagers in Kyoto.

The new learning strategy was just beginning, and it was able to achieve this effect, and Chu Mo was already very satisfied.

After all, not all people like to read and learn words, and as for the rest of those who are stubborn, those who refuse to come to study alive or dead, he is too lazy to force it.

After nearly a month of preparation, Chu Mo's carefully planned National Academy finally held a grand opening ceremony.

However, there are no less than 50 of these national colleges in Kyoto City alone, and each academy can accommodate thousands of students studying together.

In addition, in the vicinity of Kyoto, the densely populated market towns have also established national shoins.

Therefore, when this new academic policy was implemented in Kyoto, including the surrounding areas for hundreds of miles, there were 100 national seowon schools.

With so many academies opening at the same time, it was naturally impossible for Chu Mo to attend the opening ceremony of each academy.

In the end, Chu Mo decided to attend the opening ceremony of the largest academy in Kyoto, and also asked the Chu Emperor for a royal plaque inscribed by the Chu Emperor himself.

Although Chu Mo only attended the opening ceremony of one of the academies, each academy was each sent by Wenyuan Pavilion and Guozijian to serve as the president and vice president of the academy.

Therefore, even if Chu Mo did not go to other academies to attend the ceremony, the other academies also had special deans who were responsible for holding the opening ceremony.

Chu Mo worked hard for nearly a month, and finally waited for the day when the results were accepted.

On this day, Chu Mo took Xue Xue and Li Jin to the largest academy in Kyoto to participate in the ceremony.

This academy is several times larger than other academies and can accommodate more than 3,000 people studying here at the same time.

The head of this academy is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion named Zheng Yuan. And the vice president is an official of Guozijian named Fu Xing.

As soon as the two of them saw Chu Mo, they immediately took the initiative to greet each other and beckoned Chu Mo to the high platform where the ceremony was held.

There were already several people seated there, all of whom were well-known literary titans.

When these people saw Zheng Yuan and Fu Xing, they led Chu Mo over, and they also hurriedly got up and saluted Chu Mo.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Chu Mo smiled back and said lightly: "You adults don't have to be polite, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince. ”

After Chu Mo sat down, these literary giants dared to sit down.

In the audience, thousands of students gathered to attend the opening ceremony.

The age of these students ranges from 7 to 16 years old, and they are all school-age teenagers who are about to enter this college.

Soon, the opening ceremony began, and the ceremony was presided over by Zheng Yuan and Fu Xing.

Halfway through the hosting, they invited Prince Chumo to come forward and say a few words to the students, so as to encourage the students to work hard.

After saying some impassioned words, Chu Mo took the opportunity to let the plaque given by Emperor Chu move up, and lifted the red cloth on the plaque in public.

I saw that on the plaque, there were four big golden characters: Wenmo Academy!

This is the name that Chu Mo gave to this academy, although these academies are all called national academies, but that is only the attribute of academies, in fact, each academy has its own unique name.

It's just that other academies don't have such treatment, and it is such an honor to be able to get the inscription of the Emperor Chu himself, the plaque given by the emperor, and the crown prince himself to unveil the plaque.

Therefore, after Chu Mo unveiled the red cloth, Zheng Yuan and Fu Xing immediately took all the teachers of Wenmo Academy, as well as the students present, and immediately expressed their gratitude to Chu Huang and Chu Mo.

In the subsequent process, Chu Mo did not participate anymore, and found a reason to prevaricate Zheng Yuan and Fu Xing, and Chu took Xue Xue and Li Jin and quietly left Wenmo Academy.
