Chapter 76: Visitors from all over the world
Cai Yong regretted it a little.
When he asked Ye Zhao to spread all over the world, he just didn't want his daughter to be treated as a concubine. After all, even if the emperor wanted to marry him, he would have to marry him.
However, when Ye Zhao settled down on Shu and took this opportunity to marry Cai Yan, Cai Yong was shocked to realize that Ye Zhao married Cai Yan so vigorously, and he had face and Cai Yan's status in the future was also determined, but where was the majesty of the Han Dynasty?
You know, Ye Zhao's personal wife is a princess of a Han Dynasty. Although Liu Wei herself has no objection, she is even very happy that Cai Yan can marry Ye Zhao. After all, Liu Wei and Cai Yan had a good relationship in the past.
But this matter is a different taste in the eyes of all people in the world, and this was Cai Yong's initiative.
In the college, there was no Confucianism, Ye Zhao classified the current schools. In addition to the doctrine of the mean, Ye Zhao also opened up a special school for mathematics, physics, law, lunar and horizontal studies, military and even Mohism in Chengdu College. Ye Zhao invited many talents of all kinds to come to teach. As long as he can make certain achievements and pass the assessment of each college, he can enter the official position according to his grades.
Although I can’t see anything because of the first establishment, Cai Yong has already vaguely noticed Ye Zhao’s thoughts, and he wants to restore the grand occasion of the controversy among the Hundred Schools of Thoughts.
"Why are you worried about sir?" Several disciples came out of the school and saw Cai Yong sitting on a bed frowning and contemplating, and respectfully saluting Cai Yong.
"It's nothing, it's just..." Cai Yong shook his head, his entanglement and troubles could not be told to outsiders.
Several disciples suddenly looked at each other and smiled, bowed to Cai Yong and said, "I haven't congratulated my teacher yet. This time my senior sister's wedding, my lord invites all the heroes in the world. It can be seen that my lord treats my senior sister quite generously."
These are all poor students who came to join during this period. Some have already become officials under Ye Zhao's command, while others continue to study and study in the college. However, the threshold for Chengdu College is extremely high. The lecturers in the college are the top talents Ye Zhao can invite now. Only disciples with excellent grades in other county colleges can enter. Now the recruitment of people with certain talents or who are already well-known. As long as they enter Chengdu College, even if they have not been in office, they will be treated as courtesy by the government. Regardless of their origin, the government will give their family a generous salary. These people are also called Ye Zhao as lord and consciously bring themselves to Ye Zhao's command.
Cai Yong sighed. His political sense was not good, but it could be seen at this moment that in ten years, as long as Ye Zhao still occupied this Shu, even without the support of scholars, there would be endless talents under Ye Zhao's command. Ye Zhao invested more financial, material and manpower than the army in this academy. In this way, Ye Zhao's shortcomings have been filled.
What does he want to do?
Cai Yong knew it, but at this moment, what could he do? Regret on the marriage?
Now it has spread all over the world, and Cai Yong personally promised that Cai Yong could not do such a thing, and he was with Ye Zhao. Cai Yong was an imperial party. Even when he was working with Dong Zhuo, he regarded himself as an imperial party. Now that he was asked to confess his integrity, he was unwilling to do so.
"Don't worry!" Cai Yong sighed in the surprised eyes of several disciples, waved his hand and left directly. He was in this academy and became a gentleman to survive this life. This was his thoughts. As for what the future holds, he really didn't want to care and couldn't help it.
"What's wrong with my mentor?" Several disciples looked at each other, a little confused.
Some people thought of it, but did not say that after all, the influence of the Han Dynasty in Shu was far less profound than that of the Central Plains. What's more, Ye Zhao now opens colleges and schools in various counties. Although the days are still short, for most of the talents from poor families, Ye Zhao is the target of their loyalty. As for the Han emperor, they are just a puppet now, so they naturally have no idea of loyalty.
"You don't have to worry about Master Cai's affairs. Today, there are many famous scholars gathered in Cheng/Cunzhou. If you have nothing to do, it is better to go and see the style of the famous scholars in the Central Plains together. The lord often said that blindly confidently means losing his future. It is just a good opportunity to see what is so great about the famous scholars in the Central Plains!" One person suggested.
"That's the point." A student saw someone walking in the distance and couldn't help but smile and greet him: "Justice, we want to go downstairs to the world and see the style of scholars in the Central Plains. Is justice walking with you?"
This person was a poor child who was recruited into Chengdu College recently through the Chengdu College assessment. His name is Zhang Ren, whose courtesy name is Gongyi. He not only can do academic research, but also has a lot of research on military strategy. Now he is majoring in military strategy in the college, and his martial arts are also extremely skilled. On the day of admission, he even alarmed Ye Zhao. He is the best among the students of this same period. Before he even got the college assessment, Ye Zhao had already approved his position as a captain. This is the first example.
However, what is admirable is that even if Zhang Ren doesn't learn anything now, he can still get the position of a lieutenant while lying down, but he still studies hard every day and is not disturbed by external things. This is what everyone admires the most.
After hearing this, Zhang Ren thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, I heard that the lord was hitting a wall everywhere in the Central Plains. I also want to see what skills does this Central Plains scholar have?"
The big clans in Shu did not say that, but in the eyes of these poor students, they really supported Ye Zhao, because Ye Zhao gave them a path to study without having to sell their dignity and future path to study. For these poor students, this is more important than giving them glory and wealth.
At the same time, Ye Zhao's affairs in the Central Plains were also spread through his subordinates brought by Ye Zhao's entry into Shu or some Dongzhou scholars who had entered Shu in recent years. Ye Zhao's early experience made these poor families in Shu quite angry.
After all, according to rumors, Ye Zhao is not only Cai Yong's most outstanding disciple, but has made many military achievements since he entered the government and has made great achievements in his governance. However, such an outstanding talent has been repeatedly suppressed in his career, which resonates with many poor families. They are both from poor families, and if they want to make a name for themselves, no one knows better than these poor families. Therefore, this time, famous scholars from the Central Plains came together. Most of these poor families in Shu had similar ideas and wanted to find a place for Ye Zhao.
Tianxialou is a restaurant similar to an inn opened by Ye Zhao in Shu. It is specially used to entertain officials from all over the country and scholars from passing through Shu. It does not aim to make a profit. Tianxialou will arrange different residences and food for officials at all levels according to different ranks.
The year has passed, and as Ye Zhao’s wedding date approaches, envoys from various princes have begun to come one after another. The most famous one is Zhong Yao, a famous Yingchuan scholar who represents the court. There are also many famous scholars who are sent by the court. More or less, they have had some friendship with Ye Zhao in the past, such as Ma Riyi and some Dongguan scholars.
Lu Bu refused to come, and Wang Yun had no choice but to invite Zhong Yao and others to come. The important thing was that of the world's famous scholars. The owner of Yingchuan Academy was no worse than Lu Bu, or even higher. It could also show the court's attention to Ye Zhao. Although Dong Zhuo is dead, the court is just an empty shell. Only Jingzhao, Hongnong and Zuo Fengyi are in control, and even the salaries of civil and military officials cannot be paid. The states and counties refused to pay tribute on the grounds that there was no jade seal and the court was injustice, which made the court very embarrassed now.
This time, Zhong Yao came with these scholars who had friendship with Ye Zhao, hoping that Shu would pay tribute and not pay most of the taxes as usual, but at least it could support a little.
It was also because of this purpose that Zhong Yao was almost the first to arrive in Chengdu. He also paid a visit to Cai Yong and actively visited some of the powerful civil and military officials under Ye Zhao, hoping to convince Ye Zhao. As for the wealthy families in Shu... Zhong Yao did not contact him after exploring Ye Zhao's current administrative system.
Zhong Yao couldn't control how Ye Zhao treated the scholars, but now the court needs Ye Zhao's support, so naturally he could not get too close to these people to make Ye Zhao unhappy. Now the court is not able to conquer Shu, but instead asks others for help. Even the court has tolerated Ye Zhao's marriage to Cai Yan and cut off the face of the Han Dynasty. How Ye Zhao treats the scholars in Shu has nothing to do with their business.
Therefore, the group of scholars sent by the court was quite friendly to the officials and students from poor families under Ye Zhao, but the others were not so friendly.
For example, Xu You, he and Ye Zhao, had already formed a relationship with Liangzi, so naturally he would not be polite to Ye Zhao. Now Ye Zhao is a wedding banquet in the world, which is a time to show etiquette and demeanor, so it is naturally impossible to treat Xu You. Not to mention in Chengdu, as long as Xu You encounters an unexpected accident in Shu, Ye Zhao will be criticized by scholars all over the world, and it will make people feel that Ye Zhao cannot tolerate others. After all, in the Han Dynasty, the language path is relatively open.
Many scholars from the Central Plains who came to watch the ceremony criticized Ye Zhao's governance plan, commented on Ye Zhao's heavy actions in Shu, and even brought up many old things to talk about.
"We vigorously support poor families and even poor people, but the scholars in Shu ignored it. Only Ye Xiuming could do such a thing that puts the cart before the horse." Xu You sat in the most eye-catching part of the world stairs as usual, commenting on Ye Zhao's current governance methods. He mocked Ye Zhao for suppressing scholars but supporting poor families and poor students: "Even if he is in power like this, even if Shu can be safe, he will be self-congratulated and will only be worthy of being a stepping stone for others in the future."
When Zhang Ren and others came in, they heard Xu You talked with several Shu soldiers, but those Shu soldiers were also interesting. Although they agreed, no one answered.
"This is..." Zhang Ren raised his head and looked at Xu You and frowned. He rarely came to Tianxialou on weekdays. Although Tianxialou is free for students from Chengdu College, Zhang Ren always feels that it is not easy to get too cheaper to Ye Zhao, so he does not know the scholars of the Central Plains who are more famous recently.
"Xu You, a famous scholar in Nanyang, was defeated by the lord in Muye in the past. He has been in exile for many years. Now he is under the command of Yuan Benchu, the prefect of Bohai. "A disciple explained with a smile: "This person is quite bold. In this Cheng/you dare to openly say that the lord is not. He is also a broad-minded person and disdain to argue with this person. Otherwise, he would have no fate."
"You are the sensationalists." Zhang Ren shook his head: "If all the famous scholars in the Central Plains are like this, it will be easier for the Lord to wipe out the world in the future!"
"Who are you?" Zhang Ren's words were not deliberately lowered, and Xu You could naturally hear them. He frowned and looked at Zhang Ren and said, "How dare you speak wildly here?"
"The later generations learn to be Zhang Ren." Zhang Ren said calmly.
Xu You turned his head in confusion and looked at the famous scholars in Shu beside him, with no impression at all. One of them explained to Xu You in a low voice. Xu You couldn't help but look mocking: "It turned out to be the son of Yihan's family, but he was the same as Ye Xiuming."
Zhang Ren looked at Xu You in confusion and said, "Central Plains scholars are like you, can they only express themselves with their ancestors' elegance?"
