Chapter 213 Zhong Yao caters to Cao Cao’s wishes, and Xi Yu’s school is hindered(2/2)

Cao Ang responded: "My uncle's plan to run a school is to challenge the previous authority of Confucianism. In a short time, it will inevitably be opposed by all Confucian students."

"I dare to assert that in Xuzhou City, my brother-in-law's plan to run a school will definitely encounter opposition from the nobles in a short period of time. As my father's eldest son, after I became the prime minister, I worshiped the Han Sili Xiaowei.

In the name of enrolling in school and helping the village by my uncle's side, I will definitely be able to fend off the opposition from the Cao clan and the Han officials in the court."

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

Seeing this, Mrs. Ding was also very happy.

But at this time, a complex look flashed across Cao Ang's expression, but he hid it well. He had deeper thoughts in his heart that he could not express, and he did not dare to say them.

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

In this way, the Cao family can no longer rely on Xi Yu.

But this idea is very insidious. Cao Ang has always been grateful to Xi Yu and regards his uncle Xi Yu as a family member. Therefore, he really does not want to believe that his father would scheme against his uncle like that.

……

In Xiyu's school in Xiapi, Xuzhou, although Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang were teachers, their reputations were not very high. After seven days, only a few people came to study, and none of them was a Confucian scholar.

However, those scholars and ordinary people from poor families have extremely low self-esteem and feel that they are not worthy of entering the school.

On this day, Pu Feng, an engineering teacher, came to Xi Yu with his son Pu Yuan.

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

But Pu Yuan was very strong and did not say a word, but said in a deep voice, "Master, there is no need to worry. Once I understand the principles of Yuan Rong Nu and Bai Steelmaking, I will soon be able to improve them, even if others don't learn." , I will definitely study hard!"

"I firmly believe that the ordnance we create will be passed down through the ages!"

"Master, I also know how to make swords and swords. I believe that as long as I work hard, I will be able to forge a magical weapon!"

Although Pu Yuan is young, his words are full of confidence and confidence.

Hearing this, Xi Yu was deeply pleased and touched Pu Yuan's head. Although Pu Yuan was just under seven years old, he was as tall as a calf. Xi Yu sighed slightly and said, "At such a young age, he is quite good at making people happy. , very good."

Pu Yuan has been learning exercise methods from Xi Yu for more than a year, and Xi Yu has a certain fondness for him.

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

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

Pu Feng suddenly felt confused. He didn't know whether it was because his son was gifted, or because the opera master devoted all his efforts in teaching him!

Pu Feng pretended to be angry and said, "You brat, you are very ambitious at a young age, and you have only studied with the opera master for a year. Do you really want to be a teacher?"

Pu Yuan was full of confidence and said with a smile, "Of course!"

"Father, there is a lot of knowledge in the art of iron smelting!"

"The most important thing is the melting point! After understanding it, it is most suitable for iron to melt together!"

Pu Feng saw his son talking eloquently. Although he didn't understand what his son Pu Yuan was talking about, he firmly believed that the opera master must have thought deeply about letting his son Pu Yuan become a teacher, so he no longer postponed it.

However, there are really very few people who are willing to come to study...

Because, in the eyes of all Confucian scholars, Xiyu and Xuetang are a big joke.

For ordinary people, they are deeply afraid that studying in a school will require a lot of money. Moreover, even if they are well-read in Confucianism, they don't know whether it will be useful in the future.

If you really want to learn the art of making a living like a blacksmith, you can do it in the villages and towns. Why go to the school? The master of drama is there, and the gap in status makes them afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, those who saw the joke saw the joke, and those who were afraid were afraid. After all, the school was deserted.

Among the group of Confucian teachers, only Xu Jing and Xu Shao found some students.

However, among the common people in the civil society, very few people dare to sign up.

They still feel confused. If they study some things together with Confucianism, it seems to be humiliating them, so they don't dare to sign up easily.

Faced with such a deserted atmosphere in the school, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang came to Xi Yu. They looked at each other and smiled calmly.

"Fengxiao, do you have any ideas?"

"Of course..." Guo Jia said with a smile, "However, I think Kong Ming already has a plan, why not tell him and listen?"

Xi Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Tell me about it, I'm sorry, I always have it."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xu strode in from outside the school door and said in a panic, "Oh no, sir, your plan to run the school has now caused a sensation in the entire Xiapi City and even Xuzhou.

It caused an uproar within the territory!"

"What's the uproar?" Xiyu said jokingly.

"Huh?" Jia Xu was stunned, and then persuaded Huo Huo, "Sir, at this time, please stop joking."

"Sir, I have a suggestion. It is better to regard running schools as a policy to benefit the people. For those who are willing to take the initiative to enter the school, no money or food will be charged. As long as those with extraordinary talents, let the common people study and study first!"

Guo Jia suddenly came up with a plan and said in a deep voice, "Not only that, in the Academy of Sciences, adults can appoint those with outstanding academic performance, regardless of their status, to hold official positions without real power, so as to attract people from poor families to come and study."

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang nodded approvingly, and then added, "You can also distribute rewards to them. There will be a competition in each subject on the first day of the month, and corresponding rewards will be awarded to those who can succeed in what they have learned."

For a while, the three of them talked endlessly, but all their thoughts were inseparable from one topic: poor families and common people. Guo Jia and others knew very well that as long as they had the support of poor families and common people, the gentry had nothing to fear.

Jia Xu immediately looked at Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang, and said helplessly: "You two adults are deeply loved by the drama masters and have received a lot of credit and rewards. Why do you still compete with me for credit?"

"Besides, it's not easy for me to be where I am today at such a young age. 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.

With this strategy, once you win over the nobles and ordinary people from poor families, and then use the same method to control those nobles, they will definitely be convinced.

Xi Yu nodded in praise and said confidently, "This method is very wonderful, but I have an even more powerful method."

Hearing this, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu were suddenly stunned: Master Xi actually has a more clever way?

The three people asked at the same time, "What can we do?!"

"Haha, you will know when the time comes..."

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

It's just that the three of them are very curious and don't know what Xiyu's profound plan is.

It was another extremely busy night, and it was not until late at night that Xi Yu walked out of the government office exhausted...
