The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 122 Do I really want my sister to take the initiative?

After giving instructions to Sun Qian, Liu Bei planned to take Mi Zhu and others with him on this trip.

There is no retreat for the trip to Xu County.

Liu Bei felt that he couldn't take Guan and Zhang with him, and if he kept Guan Yu and Zhang Fei outside, he would eventually be able to leave himself a way out in the future.

But Sun Qian is different from Mi Zhu.

The Mi family was originally a businessman, and Liu Bei's trip to Xu County, whether it is dealing with people or other things, this aspect needs to be handled after all.

And the Mi family is the perfect candidate.

The crowd didn't have much opinion on Liu Bei's decision.

Although Zhang Fei felt a little upset, Liu Bei had already made up his mind, so he didn't say anything else.

When Liu Bei decided to follow the envoy to Xu County.

Xi Yu, who was in Xu County at the moment, had a new idea.

Xu County wants to build a capital, whether it is a city wall or a project, this matter cannot be completed in the blink of an eye.

The city of Xianyang in the pre-Qin period was built year after year. If Xu County is the capital of a country in the future, it will naturally be the same reason.

As Cao Cao's power began to expand, the buildings in Xu County naturally also expanded in scale.

From the beginning, the planning of the imperial capital was built according to the scale of Luoyang City back then.

Now that it is entering deep winter, the fortifications have temporarily stopped.

And now that paper has been popularized, Xi Yu's original thoughts also came out.

Set up a school in Dahan.

In this era, the influence of the aristocratic family is too strong after all.

If you want to break the influence of the aristocratic family, then the most direct way is to solve the problem fundamentally.

The influence of the aristocratic family has already taken shape since the Guangwu period.

The root of it is nothing more than the heirloom of poetry and books.

Whether it starts from the Spring and Autumn Period or to the pre-Qin period.

The amount of literacy and the amount of reading begin to determine a person's status.

Common people have no access to books at all.

In the past, bamboo slips were used to record words, and the things handed down were not very extensive.

And most of the books are controlled by the family.

And those poor families who have fallen into poverty, their ancestors were naturally rich.

Although the poor family is not as good as the so-called aristocratic family, they can still leave some heritage after all.

Such as Xi Yu, Xi Zhicai and others.

Although the ancestor was lonely, he could read and write since he was a child, and it was not a big problem to ask for a teacher.

The common people, on the other hand, do not even have access to literacy.

The difference between a poor family and an aristocratic family lies in the family background.

Nowadays, paper has been popularized, and the function of paper itself is to record words.

As paper is promoted, text is also promoted.

Establishing a school is nothing unusual in this era.

In the pre-Qin period, Qi State built Jixia Academy.

There is not much difference between the school and the academy.

The only difference is the recruited students.

Xi Yu's plan to establish a school is naturally not for aristocratic families or nobles. Its purpose is to give ordinary people a chance to study.

"Ayu plans to build a school?"

"Is it like the Jixia Academy back then?"

Xi Zhicai was not too surprised when he heard Xi Yu's thoughts.

For this matter, Xi Zhicai is also quite in favor of it. At this moment, it is appropriate to establish a school or something.

"It's not like a school. The purpose of the school I want to build is to give the people of the world a chance to read and understand the truth!"

"I want to recruit students from all over the world, regardless of their background, whether they are from aristocratic families or farmers!"

"Enrollment, all are equal!"

After expressing his thoughts to Xi Zhicai, Xi Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

It's time, it would take too long for him alone to change this era.

The most direct thing is to cultivate more talents and use the abilities of these people to change this era.

Promote the development of the historical process.

"You have such an idea, my brother naturally agrees!"

Xi Zhicai nodded, and then continued: "My lord, I will go talk with you when the time comes!"

Xi Yu's idea of ​​starting a school quickly spread throughout Xu County.

Naturally, the upper echelons of Xu County didn't have much resistance to Xue Gong.

However, what made those family nobles resist.

Xi Yu actually planned to recruit those ordinary civilians.

This is intolerable to the family.

Since the pre-Qin period, books, the right to study, etc. have been controlled by the nobles of the aristocratic family.

The emergence of large-scale paper has made these aristocratic families wary.

Now that Xi Yu wants to hand over poetry, books, rituals and music to those common people, this is something that the family cannot tolerate.

For those aristocratic families, Xi Yu's move was like breaking their roots.

……

Two days after the news came out, Xi Yu's reputation among scholars in the aristocratic family dropped all the way, as if the other party had violated a huge taboo.

Xi Yu didn't care about this. Since he proposed the idea of ​​starting a school, he was convinced that no one could stop his idea.

Not even Cao Cao.

However, when Cao Cao heard the news, he didn't express his opinion immediately.

Inside the Han Palace, Liu Xie didn't have much opinion on this either.

"It's not a bad thing that Xi Qing is willing to start a school. Why is the Taiwei so resistant?"

After hearing Xi Yu's idea of ​​starting a school, Yang Biao and others naturally had great opinions.

"Your Majesty, Confucius said, the people can let them know, but they can't let them know!"

"This is the truth left by the ancestors. If those ordinary people can read and write, they will definitely have too many ideas!"

"From my point of view, Xi Yu's move is nothing more than trying to dig out the foundation of my man!"

Yang Biao exaggerated Xi Yu's idea of ​​founding a school, and cited the sayings in the Analects of Confucius.

Liu Xie, who heard this, also began to be a little uncertain.

"Taiwei, didn't you advocate letting me win over Xi Qing before? Why are you so opposed at this time?"

Liu Xie frowned, Xi Yu had just proposed an idea, logically speaking, he should now stand on Xi Yu's side.

But now, Yang Biao and others retorted just because of the school.

How can we win over Xi Yu in the future?

Common people's literacy is digging the foundation of the great man.

After all, Liu Xie is not a three-year-old child. Although there are not many literate people in this world, those princes, Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

Which one is wholeheartedly thinking about this big man.

"Your Majesty, one size fits one size!"

Yang Biao made a sound.

The idea of ​​​​wooing Xi Yu is correct, but at the same time, the matter of building a school is naturally not a trivial matter.

If all the people in the world could read and write, the sense of superiority of the aristocratic family would become weaker and weaker.

This is an extremely important matter for the Yu family. Naturally, 1 people like Yang Biao opposed it.

……

The aristocratic families in Xu County were extremely resistant to the school's ideas, and even their views on Xi Yu began to change accordingly.

Xi Yu didn't care about this, but Cai Yan, who received the news on the other side, was a little surprised.

"Mr.'s idea of ​​starting a school, I think it makes sense!"

Cai Yan, who had already moved out of the Cao Mansion, subconsciously agreed with Gan Mei when he heard about Xi Yu's thoughts.

Her family has quite a collection of books. Back then, Cai Yong was a great Confucian, and he always took his collection with him wherever he went.

Cai Yan couldn't understand how much her father valued these books.

However, now Cai Yong has passed away.

Although these collections of books are here, their effect is already negligible.

The book itself needs to be circulated and read by people.

Hiding there all the time will naturally lose the meaning of its existence.

"Since you want to start a school, sir, you must need some ancient books. I don't have any now, but there are quite a few books left by my late father."

"If my husband doesn't dislike it, I am willing to donate all the books at home to the school founded by my husband."

Cai Yan expressed his thoughts to Gan Mei.

Hearing this, the latter was a little surprised, followed Gan Mei's eyes to look at Cai Yan, and a resentment towards Xi Yu arose in his heart.

The relationship between the two has been made clear.

In order to avoid the relationship, Cai Yan even moved out of the Cao Mansion.

In the end, because of the move of the capital, Xi Yu seemed to have forgotten the things between the two of them.

Seeing Cai Yan support her husband so much now, Gan Mei couldn't bear it.

Playing Fengyi him, he has done a bit too much!

"Where is there anything to dislike? I heard from him that he is thinking about this book!"

"You send him a collection of books now, it's too late for him to be happy!"

Speaking to Cai Yan, the corners of Gan Mei's mouth were obviously complaining for the other party.

Hearing this, Cai Yan understood in his heart.

After parting with Gan Mei, Cai Yan immediately expressed his thoughts to Mrs. Bian.

These words naturally reached Cao Cao's ears.

Immediately afterwards, within two days, rumors spread that Cai Yan was willing to donate all the books in the Cai family's collection for the school.

That's Cai's collection of books!
The Cai family has accumulated a collection of books for many generations, and there are many people who want to see it but have no chance.

Now, because of a school matter, Cai Yan is willing to donate all the books in his family.

It is really surprising.

And because of the book donation, Cai Yan's reputation spread in Xu County.

Inside the gazebo of the dramatist's house.

Xi Yu was also a little surprised when he heard the news.

He has already asked Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others to start planning for the establishment of the school.

The rest is to say hello to Cao Cao.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Cai Yan would support him so much that he even wanted to donate his family's books.

"A Lang, how long will the matter between you and Sister Cai be delayed!"

"Look at the present, I just heard that you are going to set up a school, and Sister Cai is willing to donate all the books at home!"

"Some things, do you still want a woman to take the initiative?"

Gan Mei knew that it was extremely difficult for Cai Yan to take the initiative to this step.

Of course, Xi Yu was very clear about this.

In this era, if the other party expresses his position like this, if he doesn't know the other party's intentions, he would be too stupid.

"What madam said is that I was negligent!"

Because of the move of the capital, the affairs between him and Cai Yan were somewhat put on hold.

After all, he overlooked some problems.

In later generations, some things between men and women are naturally not so anxious.

But this time is different.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship between Cai Yan and him, but he has never given an explanation to the other party.

This is extremely bad for Cai Yan, plus the matter of the Wei family, Cai Yan's reputation from the outside world will probably be affected by him.

If it goes on like this, it's not good.

That night.

Xi Yu took the initiative to visit Cao Cao in the Cao Mansion.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xi Yu directly said that he wanted Cao Cao to help him be a matchmaker.

In the back hall at this moment, Cao Cao was a little surprised.

He originally thought that Xi Yu's late-night visit was for the construction of the school.

Never thought that when the other party opened his mouth, he just wanted him to be a guarantor to marry Cai Yan.

Although somewhat unexpected.

But Cao Cao still reacted.

Of course, he had already heard about the matter between Cai Yan and Xi Yu.

For Cai Yan, Cao Cao also treated her as his own sister. Now that Xi Yu finally mentioned it, Cao Cao couldn't help but follow suit.

"Now that Mr. Cai is not here, I naturally treat Zhao Ji like my own sister."

"If it wasn't for Fengyi's initiative to come here this time, I would have to go to Fengyi for you because of Zhaoji's affairs!"

Cao Cao's words were extremely beautiful, and Xi Yu just smiled.

Hearing this, Mrs. Cao, who was on the table, couldn't help but patted the table on the table.

"Good boy, are you only reacting now?"

"I heard that you are going to build a school, that girl volunteered to contribute all the books at home."

"The whole of Xuchang is talking about this kind of thing now!"

"If you hadn't come here today, just like Meng De said, I would have to vent my anger on that girl!"

Although Mrs. Cao reprimanded her, the smile on her face never faded.

Speaking of Cai Yan.

Thinking of Cai Yong's death, now there is only one Cai Yan.

Before Xi Yu could react, the old man in front of him had already paid attention.

"Meng De, the Cai family and the Cao family were considered family friends back then. Now that Cai Yong is not here, the Cao family needs to take care of Zhao Ji's affairs."

"That girl Zhaoji looks good to me, she has always been treated like a daughter, and now that Fengyi is the chief minister, she can't let Zhaoji lose her confidence."

"Meng De, I intend to accept Zhao Ji as a righteous daughter, so this is worthy of righteousness, what do you think?"

"The Cai family's collection of books is used as a dowry, and my Cao family will prepare another dowry for Zhao Ji!"

As soon as Cao Song said this, Xi Yu frowned.

Just the Cai family's collection of books is considered a great gift, and now Cao Song plans to adopt Cai Yan as a righteous daughter.

With the current status of the Cao family, this is obviously raising Cai Yan's status.

Xi Yu naturally has no reason to refuse this kind of thing.

On the other side, Cao Cao subconsciously looked at his father after hearing such a suggestion.

Father is father after all!
This move is not only to save face for Xi Yu, but also to get married with Xi Yu in a disguised form by taking away the adoptive daughter, and it also increases the reputation of the Cao family.

This can be said to serve multiple purposes.

After all, Cao Song still has some ability. Cao Cao understood it, and Xi Yu naturally understood it too.

This matter, for him, does not have any harm.

Of course he would not refuse.

"Okay, this matter is settled like this, Meng De, you will let that girl Zhao Ji come over tomorrow!"

"Okay, Meng De, you accompany Feng Yi, the old man is a little sleepy!"

After waving to the two of them, Cao Song returned to the backyard of the Cao family with the support of Cao De.

Only Cao Cao and Xi Yu were left in the back hall.

Cao Cao glanced at Xi Yu, then moved directly to the other side and raised his hand to pat Xi Yu on the shoulder.

"Fengyi is very lucky, that is the Cai family's collection of books!"

"Wen Ruo and the others kept telling me that they wanted to take a look at those books, but that girl Zhao Ji never agreed!"

"It's a relic left by Mr. Cai, and that girl Zhao Ji has always looked at it as extremely important."

"Now, that girl has even given up her books. Thinking about Wen Ruo and the others, she must be very envious!"

Cao Cao was joking, but Xi Yu just laughed along.

When mentioning the collection of books, Xi Yu thought that he had not yet spoken to Cao Cao about the establishment of the school.

Although the other party cleared it, this kind of thing still needs Cao Cao to nod.

Although he can skip Cao Cao and do it directly.

But, there is no need for that.

Taking advantage of this time, Xi Yu turned to look at Cao Cao.

"Brother, Yu has never spoken to you about the school!"

"I don't know what brother thinks?"

Xi Yu asked Cao Cao, who was not surprised at all.

Cao Cao has been waiting for Xi Yu to take the initiative to talk to him about the establishment of the school!

"Since it is Feng Yi's proposal, I naturally agree in my heart!"

"It's just that I heard that you intend to recruit ordinary people, which seems to have offended the interests of the family!"

Cao Cao's tone was leisurely. Although he expressed his support for Xi Yu, he also directly pointed out the problem of running a school today.

Speaking of which, his Cao family can be regarded as an aristocratic family now.

Although Cao Cao didn't care about Xi Yu's approach, the Cao family also had some opinions.

"Brother, I once told you about the world I saw!"

"And in that world, all I want is that everyone can read and write!"

"Brother, you know that the right to study is now controlled by the aristocratic family. For hundreds of years, ordinary people have no way to contact it!"

"Could it be that among those common people, there are no talented and capable people?"

"I think my brother also understands, it's not like there is nothing!"

"It's just that these people are different from the children of the aristocratic family since they were born. It is much more difficult for them to get in touch with books than the nobles of the aristocratic family!"

"And how many talented and capable people have been hidden in the long river of history like this!"

"There are very few people who can splash the waves!"

"If there are as many people with outstanding abilities in the world as a cow's hair, will the prosperous age be far behind?"

The aristocratic family controls the way for the people in the world to rise. The previous inspection system and recommendation system are ultimately controlled by the aristocratic family.

As a result, the world will be like a pool of stagnant water, lifeless and lifeless!
"My brother is really not sure about the current scene of the big man. Is it where the decline is?"

Xi Yu paused and asked again.

Then ask and answer yourself.
