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

Chapter 212 A group of cheeky and shameless people, bullying too much
"Mr. Yuan Huan!"

"Mr. Yaoqing, this statement is wrong."

"Chen Deng and his son must know the exam questions for this recruitment, maybe they know more details about Master Xi's recruitment, how can we just leave here?"

"If we give up at this point, when the school opens tomorrow, Chen Deng and his son will become officials and become officials, but we can only end up as scholars."

After getting the news that teachers were about to be recruited at the beginning of the school year, these Confucian scholars came to Chen Deng's courtyard, and they would never leave unless they achieved their goal.

Schools are opened, and scholars and people study in order to become officials.

And these Confucian scholars used to be officials, if they hadn't listened to Chen Gui, they would not have resigned easily.

Now, it is Chen Deng and his son who told them that they have the opportunity to be an official again, and they would not let this opportunity go easily before.

Furthermore, they suspected that Chen Deng and his son had the answers to the exam, so they would not just leave.

Seeing this, the servants of the Chen family did not dare to drive away these cheeky nobles easily.

Hearing this, Yuan Huan shook his head and said, "Have you ever thought about it?"

"Master Xi attaches so much importance to running a school, so the recruitment of teachers must be to select people with real talents and practical learning. If we cheat by relying on the answers in the answer sheet, even if we successfully pass the exam and get the position of teacher, we will not be worthy of it. If we are investigated If you come out, you will be severely punished."

"Aren't you afraid of playing with your master's tricks?" Yuan Huan looked at the group of nobles and Confucian scholars, and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, someone panicked suddenly, "How can you not be afraid of Mr. Xi's methods..."

Someone followed up and said, "That's right, this drama master was born in poverty... I haven't heard that he has any Confucian works. I guess this recruitment test will not be too difficult, right?"

But as soon as the words fell, someone stood up and said loudly, "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

"Don't you even know and study the "Biao Shi Shi"? This table text has never been seen before, and there will be no one to come after!"

"It's not just "Teacher's Biao", the lyrics written by the play master are also very accomplished, the pioneering style of writing, the unique literary talent, it is very exciting to read!"

"That's right, I'm really ignorant. How dare I underestimate Master Xi's talent and learning. It's ridiculous."

"In my opinion, the exam questions for tomorrow's recruitment must be extremely difficult! If I don't pay attention to this recruitment, and be careful of being robbed of the teaching position by someone from a poor family, if this is the case, what face will I have?!"

Someone from the gentry sneered even more, "As far as I know, Chen Deng and his son had a close relationship with Xuzhou officials long before General Cao Ren. If these two people say that they are estranged from Mr. Xi, I will never believe it!"

"That's right, I don't believe it either."

"Yaoqing, you should persuade Chen Deng and his son for my good students, and share the answers in your hands with us. You must not do anything selfish."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden crisp sound, "Boom!"

The door of the room was suddenly opened, and Chen Deng stood at the door, his face flushed with anger!

He has been standing at the door, listening to everyone's speech, Mr. Yuan Huan thought he was speaking, but this group of people refused to leave.

It's fine for this group of people not to leave, but they treat the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and even suspect that he is deliberately helping Master Xi to suppress the nobles, so as to support the humble scholars.

"Wait, a group of cheeky and shameless people... are too deceitful!" Chen Deng said loudly, full of anger.

"I went to meet Mr. Xi with good intentions today, in order to seek some benefits for you and other nobles at the beginning of school. Who would have thought that you would not only be ungrateful, but also suspicious and slander me out of thin air! "

After all, Chen Deng was very angry, and immediately held the long sword, swung it at a group of gentry, and cursed loudly, "You shameless people, I will fight with you today!"

"Stop, Yuanlong! Yuanlong, calm down!!"

A group of nobles suddenly felt scared and backed up a few steps in fright.

Seeing this, several old men hurriedly pulled Chen Deng back, and tried to persuade him, "Yuanlong, tell me the truth, what did Master Xi tell you about tomorrow's exam questions?"

Chen Deng replied coldly, "Master Xi didn't tell me anything, you should be satisfied!"

Chen Deng said with a wry smile, "I'm not afraid of making jokes if I say it, but I want to ask something. I don't think the Master Xie doesn't want to have a deep talk with me at all!"

"Besides, you usually say that you are full of scriptures, and your heart is full of economics. Hehe, it's just a teacher's exam. Why, are you afraid?" Chen Deng stared at a group of gentry Confucian scholars and sneered.

"Your Majesty Xi made it very clear that the recruitment of teachers this time is looking for people with real talents and practical learning. Those who have the ability will naturally be able to enter the school. Those who are not talented enough should go home and farm as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Chen Deng sneered at a group of gentry and Confucian scholars.

This group of people ran into his house and made such a fuss. At this moment, he was already furious with anger.

"Yuanlong! You...you are wrong!"

Hearing this, the stewards and nobles from other places became furious for a moment, and shouted at Chen Deng, "Chen Deng, if I hadn't believed in your words, how could we be resigned by the master! Now the school starts When recruiting, you are so ruthless and have no intention of helping!"

Seeing a group of gentry and Confucian scholars arguing with Chen Deng, Yuan Huan shook his head alone: ​​he claimed to be full of talent and learning, but he was just a bunch of pedantic people.

Yuan Huan couldn't bear it, and said softly, "That's the end of the story, why don't you all unite and help each other, as long as one of you becomes a teacher through recruitment, you will naturally recommend other gentry Confucian scholars to be teachers in the future, isn't that good?"

"If not, what's the use of arguing until dawn?"

Hearing Yuan Huan's words, Chen Deng was taken aback, "Huh?"

Suddenly, the eyes of a group of Confucian scholars suddenly brightened, "Yes? This method is very good! Why didn't I think of it?"

Hearing this, someone in the crowd immediately said, "Mr. Yuan Huan's words are reasonable. With the power of our gentry, as long as we unite, how can a group of humble gentry be compared!"

"Furthermore, no matter how good one person is, can he compare with the knowledge of a group of people? In my opinion, it's better for everyone to teach each other tonight. There will be deeper and more useful knowledge, and it will definitely not be a problem for tomorrow's recruitment exam."

"This statement is very... It must be Mr. Yaoqing, who is really knowledgeable and resourceful."

"I also agree, this method is very good, Yuan Long! What do you think?!"

Hearing this, Chen Deng stared angrily: What do I think?Blocking my house and causing trouble, I wish I could kill you all!
But he still held back his anger after all, and sighed: "Mr. Yuan Huan's proposal is very good."

"Everyone, please."

Chen Deng held back his anger and welcomed a group of gentry and Confucian scholars into the house.

At the same time, Chen Deng ordered his servants to add firewood and fire. As the fire continued to grow, the gentry and Confucian scholars who were already too cold felt extremely warm and began to talk and discuss one by one.

At this moment, seeing Yuan Huan still standing outside the door, Chen Deng hurriedly said politely, "Mr. Yuan Huan, why don't you come in and have a talk?"

Yuan Huan raised his hand and bowed, "As long as you all re-cultivate well and unite to advance and retreat together, I will be satisfied. I am sorry that I cannot communicate with you if I have something to do, so I will not go in. Farewell!"

"Well, sir, let's go."

Chen Deng immediately sent Yuan Huan out.

After bidding farewell to Yuan Huan and returning to the house, Chen Deng was very annoyed when he saw a group of gentry and Confucian scholars who were talking loudly. He wished he could go to the backyard and scold his father.

Chen Deng cursed secretly in his heart:
If he hadn't resigned at the beginning, how could he be in the situation he is today, but in the end he has to work hard for the position of a teacher in a small school, and his status is hard to compare with before!

How ridiculous!

……

At this time, in the government office, Xi Yu was preparing for the school tomorrow, Xi Yu dictated, and Jia Xu was lying in front of the case and writing with pen and paper.

Before that, it was almost all spoken by the play masters, and Guo Jia wrote the pens, but today the play masters say it in detail, because Jia Xu's characters are smaller, which can save silk scripts, and can write the words of the play masters in detail.

Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang looked at each other with a smile, and with Mr. Xi's 'extraordinary' characters, if Mr. Xi wrote the pen himself tonight, perhaps twenty silk scripts would not be enough.

Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang really dare not compliment Mr. Xi's handwriting, but Mr. Xi is full of confidence, saying that his handwriting will eventually become "popular".

Although Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang agree on the surface, they think in their hearts that even after a hundred years, it will be difficult for the words of Master Xi to become popular.

……

Jia Xu took a closer look, looked at Dian Wei, and asked, "This guard is General Dian Wei?"

The post of guard here is very important, and Xi Yu directly manages it.

"That's right, it's General Dian. General Dian's combat strength is extraordinary, and he is very competent as a guard."

When Dian Wei heard this, he showed a smug look at Zhao Yun, "Haha... Thank you, thank you!"

"Now, I, Dian Wei, am the guard of the school!"

Seeing Dian Wei so happy, Zhao Yun was speechless: You Dian Wei, a school guard is so proud...

Why not charge and kill the enemy on the battlefield!
"Well, the Department of Political Affairs and Education? What is this for..."

Xi Yu explained very seriously, "This is to supervise whether Confucianism is familiar to students and apply what they have learned, and to manage students to stabilize what they have learned."

"So that's the case, then what does the Academic Affairs Office do..."

"The Academic Affairs Office is responsible for the preparation of teaching materials, and at the same time arranges and plans all the courses taught in this school year."

"Then this..."

According to Xi Yu's arrangement, Jia Xu made a blueprint, which Xi Yu called a "schematic diagram", with official positions and names written in different positions.

In the entire school, Xi Yu had the highest official position, including Xi Yu, who held the three official positions of Political and Education Office, Academic Affairs Office and Guard.

At the same time, Xi Yu directly manages the guards. The guards are Dian Wei, who is in charge of a guard team.

Following the three official positions, there are several major categories in the schematic diagram.

Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, doctors.

However, in today's school, there is no priority for these studies.

For the Shang category, Xi Yu directly arranged for Mi Fang to be a solo teacher, because Xi Yu didn't want him to lead the army.

But Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and the others really didn't quite understand Xi Yu's intentions regarding the school's strategy this time.

"If Master Xi divides and classifies like this, this Confucianism..."

"Yeah, those Confucian nobles, will they make irresponsible remarks?"

"I don't know if there are other humble scholars who will accept this arrangement, hehe, but this move should be loved by the common people, especially the peasant class. Farming is actually a science."

Xi Yu took a closer look and found that a relatively complete management system had been formed.

Only then did Xi Yu say to a few people, "Now in Xuzhou, according to the lists reported by local newspapers, there are hundreds of thousands of children alone."

"I think that in troubled times, we should emphasize classics, and in prosperous times, we should promote Confucianism. In today's world, only Confucianism is not enough. Confucianism should be the foundation, supplemented by other academics, and emphasizing the study of Fa and Mohism is the correct way."

After Xi Yu finished speaking, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others nodded in praise.

Before this, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang had never had such an idea. Even other Confucianists have always regarded Confucianism as the foundation of their studies.

Confucianism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Xi Yu's willingness to discuss his way of running a school with the three of them also has his own considerations.

One is Guo Jia who has a close relationship with him, and the other is that although Zhuge Liang was born as a commoner, he is knowledgeable and knows the beauty of other academics.

Third, Jia Xu has no intention of respecting Confucianism.

Xi Yu's change in the way of running a school, he predicted that this matter will definitely cause huge repercussions throughout Xuzhou, and even the Central Plains.

There is no doubt that he will be the first heretic to challenge the status of Confucianism.

Xi Yu said with great satisfaction, "Sort up the school-running policy, post a notice tomorrow, and send a copy to Xuchang at the same time."

Heavy classics are used in troubled times, and Confucianism is promoted in prosperous times.

Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu admired such a bold thing.

Although the three of them were not very optimistic about this matter, they were naturally willing to implement Xi Yu's decision.

If you want to completely change Xuzhou, you have to look at the effect of the implementation of the new law.

A hundred flowers bloom...

Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, as if they saw an extremely prosperous future.

As for why Xi Yu chose to challenge Confucianism at this time, it was naturally a lot of deliberation, and he left a way out.

Today, the humble scholars and common people in Xuzhou have long been subdued by him.

In the future, the road left for these scholars will only become narrower and narrower.

If you follow the general trend and accept the policy of "letting a hundred flowers bloom", you can only cultivate the land and become a farmer.

Moreover, there is another important reason why Xi Yu chose to challenge Confucianism at this time and implement his own school-running strategy.

At this time, it was the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, and Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, Yanzhou and the northern part of Yangzhou.

But Yuan Shu captured Youzhou.

The war in Chang'an, Xiliang and other places has ceased, and the land of Xichuan has not changed. The major princes are tacitly carrying out the truce to recuperate.

In the past three years, the two sides have been preparing more troops and food, and it will be a relatively peaceful and stable situation.

Only this relatively stable period is more suitable for carrying out things such as running a school.

However, for Xi Yu, pretending to be a Confucian scholar during this period of time was really hard work.

……

"Why is this so?! Chen Deng, this is really what you said about enrolling!?"

"Hmph, I, Wang Yi, will never become an official with this, it's extremely ridiculous! Engineering, agriculture, business, such humble things, how dare you compare them with the sage's theory!"

"It's just nonsense!"

"Yes, it's absolutely ridiculous! It's really hard to imagine why Mr. Xi is so ridiculous!"

"How can it be possible for a person of common people to cultivate Confucianism subtly? If it is true as the notice says, carpenters and stonemasons will be officials in the same dynasty as Confucian scholars like me, it would be a great shame!"

"That's right, it's simply ridiculous. I, Wang Long, will never approve of such things! Let's go!"

"I really didn't expect the master's school-running policy to be so ridiculous. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come here, and made me spend money to entertain Chen Deng. It's really annoying!!"

"The Chen family's father and son may have known about this for a long time, but they didn't tell us, maybe they have already become Xi Yu's hawks!"

Hearing such abuse and slander by a group of gentry and Confucian scholars, Chen Deng was so frightened that he spat blood from his mouth.

I thought I finally had the chance to become an official again, but I didn't expect it to be such an absurd way to run a school!
What's the use of entering a school to teach? !

"Yuanlong, what do you think we should do now?"

A Confucian scholar asked Chen Deng.

This person is about the same age as Chen Deng, and he thinks the same as other Confucian scholars: if he really wants to teach in this school, he will be ridiculed by other gentry Confucian scholars.

From then on, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stand up among the Xuzhou gentry.

"How do I know what to do?"

At this time, Chen Deng was also extremely shocked. He really didn't expect Xi Yu to be so deviant and dare to be the first.

At the same time, Chen Deng was very conflicted in his heart at the moment. It was indeed a good opportunity to enter the school through recruitment.

Not only can he keep his scholar status, but he can also be an official in the future.

But if he gives up at this point, I really don't know what the result will be.

When Chen Deng was still hesitating, his father, Chen Gui, stepped forward, stared at the notice in disgust, and said to Chen Deng with a sneer, "Yuanlong, why hesitate, we would rather not be a teacher. , I would like to see, if there is no Confucianism, how will this school continue to operate!"

Looking at other scholars, Chen Gui was very resistant to Xi Yu's school-running strategy.

For a while, the gentry class who came here with the hope of becoming an official, including the humble scholars, all hesitated.

However, other workers, such as carpenters, stonemasons, and blacksmiths, all seemed extremely happy knowing that they would have the opportunity to become officials.

Soon, the fact that Xi Yu opened a school was spread as a joke throughout Xiapi City.

In a short time, the matter was spread to other states and counties.

Yanzhou, Xuchang.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao was shocked when he heard about this, "How dare Feng Yi act so recklessly?"

Cao Cao touched his chin, his beard was pulled into a ball, and his face was full of thoughts.

Xi Zhicai at the side couldn't bear it, and said loudly, "Feng Yi must not be allowed to mess around with this matter!"

"Although Fengyi has learned a lot from others, once this matter is first started, it will easily touch the interests of the gentry. Once the gentry make trouble, it is likely to cause major troubles!"

"My lord, you and I are both scholars of Confucianism. Before that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also dismissed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism! If it really revives other academics, it's okay!"

At this moment, Xi Zhicai only felt that he had to speak out quickly.

"It's just, when did this kind of businessman count as knowledge!? This is what people with low status do. What kind of knowledge is it?! A businessman cares about every detail, and there is nothing wrong with doing business. If such a person can also be an official, how can he?" Convince the Xuzhou gentry!!"

"If this kind of school-running policy is forced to be implemented, I assert that Xuzhou will be in chaos, and celebrities all over the world will be criticized!"

"Such a dangerous matter, I hope the lord will think twice!"
