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

There is no way out during the trip to Xu County.

Liu Bei felt that he could not take Guan and Zhang with him and kept Guan Yu. If Zhang Fei was outside, he would eventually be able to leave a way out for himself in the future.

But Sun Qian is different from Mi Zhu.

The Mi family were originally merchants, and Liu Bei's trip to Xu County, whether it was dealing with people or other matters, ultimately required handling.

The Mi family is the perfect choice.

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

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

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

At this moment, Xi Yu, who was in Xu County, 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.

In the pre-Qin Dynasty, Xianyang City was being built year after year. If Xu County was to be the capital of a country in the future, the same would naturally be true.

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

The imperial capital was originally planned to be built on the scale of Luoyang City back then.

Now that we are entering deep winter, the fortification work has been temporarily stopped.

And now that paper has been widely promoted, Xi Yu's original thoughts also emerged.

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 aristocratic families, 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 cause is nothing more than the heirloom of poems and books.

Whether it is from the Spring and Autumn Period or to the Pre-Qin Dynasty.

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

Common people have no access to books at all.

In the past, bamboo slips were used to record text, but the things that have been handed down are not very widespread.

And most of the books are controlled by aristocratic families.

As for those poor families who have fallen into decline, their ancestors were naturally wealthy.

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

Such as Xi Yu, Xi Zhicai and others.

Although my ancestor was lonely, it was not a big problem for him to study, read, and become a teacher since he was a child.

As for ordinary people, they don't even have the means to become literate.

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

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

Paper was popularized, and so was writing.

Establishing schools is not a strange thing in this era.

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

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

The only difference is the students recruited.

Xi Yu plans to build a school. Naturally, it is not built for aristocratic families or nobles. Its purpose itself 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 wasn't too surprised when he heard Xi Yu's idea.

Xi Zhicai also quite agrees with this matter. At this time, it is appropriate to establish a school or something like that.

"It is not just like a school. The purpose of the school I want to establish is to give people all over the world an opportunity to read, 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 from peasant families!"

"Enrollment is equal for all!"

Xi Yu expressed his thoughts towards Xi Zhicai, and Xi Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

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

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.

"If you have such an idea, I naturally agree with you!"

Xi Zhicai nodded, and then continued: "Master, I will go with you to talk to you then!"

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

Naturally, there is not much resistance from the entire Xu County upper class to the Academy.

But what made those noble families resisted was...

Xi Yu actually plans 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 noble families.

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

Nowadays, Xi Yu wants to hand over poems, books, etiquette and music to those common people, which is something that the aristocratic family cannot tolerate.

For those aristocratic families, Xiyu's move was like troubling their roots.

……

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

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

Not even Cao Cao can do it.

However, when Cao Cao heard the news, he did not express his opinion immediately.

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

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

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

"Your Majesty, Confucius said, the people can follow it, but they cannot know it!"

"This is the truth left by our ancestors. If ordinary people are literate, they will definitely have too many ideas!"

"In my opinion, Xiyu's move is nothing more than an attempt to dig into the foundation of my great Han Dynasty!"

Yang Biao exaggerated Xi Yu's idea of ​​establishing a school and quoted the sayings in the Analects of Confucius.

After hearing this, Liu Xie began to feel a little unsure.

"Taiwei, didn't you advocate that I should win over the drama queen before? Why are you so opposed to it now?"

Liu Xie frowned. Xi Yu had just put forward his idea. Logically speaking, he should stand in Xi Yu's position now.

But now, Yang Biao and others are refuting this just because of school matters.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

How can we win over Xi Yu in the future?

For common people to be literate is to dig into the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

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

Which one is thinking only of this big man?

"Your Majesty, one code equals one code!"

Yang Biao spoke up.

The idea of ​​​​wooing Xi Yu is correct, but similarly, building a school is naturally not a trivial matter.

If all the people in the world were literate, the superiority of the aristocratic family itself would become weaker and weaker.

This is an extremely important matter for the Yu family, and Yang Biao and others are naturally opposed by 10,000 people.

……

The aristocratic families in Xu County were extremely resistant to the idea of ​​a school, and their views on Xi Yu also began to change.

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

"My husband's idea of ​​starting a school seems quite reasonable to me!"

Cai Yan, who had moved out of Cao Mansion, subconsciously agreed with Xi Yu's idea when he heard that he went to Gan Mei.

Her family has a large collection of books. As a great scholar in those days, Cai Yong would carry his collection of books with him wherever he went.

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

However, Cai Yong has passed away now.

Although these collections of books are here, their role is already minimal.

The book itself needs to be circulated and read.

If it has been hidden there, it will naturally lose the meaning of its existence.

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

"If my husband doesn't mind it, I am willing to give all the books in my family to the school founded by my husband."

Cai Yan expressed his thoughts to Gan Mei.

When the latter heard this, he was a little surprised. He followed Gan Mei's gaze and looked at Cai Yan, and a feeling of resentment towards Xi Yu arose in his heart.

The relationship between the two people has been made clear.

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

As a result, because of the capital move, Xi Yu seemed to have forgotten what happened between the two of them.

Now that she sees Cai Yan supporting her husband so much, Ganmei can't bear it.

Xi Fengyi, he went too far!

"There is nothing to dislike. I heard him say that he was thinking about this book!"

"If you give him a collection of books now, it's too late for him to be happy!"

After saying something to Cai Yan, Gan Mei's lips were obviously complaining for him.

Hearing this, Cai Yan understood.

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, it was spread that Cai Yan was willing to give away all the Cai family's books to the school.

That’s the Cai family’s book collection!

I don’t know how many generations the Cai family has accumulated a collection of books, and I don’t know how many people want to take a look but have no chance.

Now, because of a school incident, Cai Yan is actually willing to donate all his books.

It’s really surprising.

And because of donating books, Cai Yan's reputation spread throughout Xu County.

In the pavilion of the actor's house.

Xiyu 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 a school.

All that's left is to say hello to Cao Cao.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Cai Yan supported him so much that he even donated his family's collection of books.

"Alang, how long will the matter between you and Sister Cai be delayed?"

"Look at now, just after hearing that you are going to build a school, Sister Cai is willing to donate all her family's books!"

"Are you going to let a woman take the initiative in some matters?"

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

Xi Yu is naturally very clear about this.

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

"What the madam said is that I was negligent!"

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

After all, he ignored some issues.

In future generations, some matters between men and women will naturally not be so anxious.

But this era 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. In addition to the Wei family's affairs, Cai Yan's external reputation will probably be affected because of him.

If this continues, it will naturally not be good.

It's night.

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

Without the slightest hesitation, Xi Yu came up with the idea of ​​asking Cao Cao to help him become 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 because of the construction of the school.

I never thought that when the other party opened his mouth, he just wanted him to be the guarantee to marry Cai Yan.

Although a little unexpected.

But Cao Cao still reacted.

Naturally, he had heard about what happened between Cai Yan and Xi Yu.

Cao Cao also treated Cai Yan as his younger sister. Now that Xi Yu finally mentioned it, Cao Cao couldn't help but agree.

"Now that Mr. Cai is away, I naturally treat Zhao Ji like my own sister."

"If Fengyi hadn't taken the initiative to come here this time, I would have gone to Fengyi to find you because of Zhaoji's affairs!"

Cao Cao said this very beautifully, and Xi Yu just smiled.

When Mrs. Cao who was sitting on the bench heard this, he couldn't help but pat the table on which he was sitting.

"Good boy, did you just react now?"

"When I heard about the school you were going to build, that girl took the initiative to donate all the books at home."

"Nowadays, the whole of Xuchang is talking about this kind of thing!"

"If you hadn't come here today, just like Meng De said, I would have been angry for that girl!"

Although Old Mrs. Cao was scolding her, the smile on her face did not fade.

Speaking of Cai Yan.

I also remembered that Cai Yong died, and now Cai Yan is alone.

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

"Meng De, back then the Cai family and the Cao family were considered family friends. Now that Cai Yong is gone, the affairs of Zhaoji's girl need to be handled by my Cao family."

"I think Zhao Ji is a good girl. I have always treated her like a daughter. Now that Fengyi is a big farmer, I can't let Zhao Ji lose her confidence."

"Meng De, I intend to adopt Zhao Ji as my righteous daughter, so she is worthy of being righteous. What do you think?"

"Those Cai family's books are used as dowry, and our Cao family will prepare another dowry for Zhao Ji!"

As soon as Cao Song said these words, Xi Yu's brows froze.

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

With the current status of the Cao family, this is obviously an attempt to elevate Cai Yan's status.

Xiyu naturally has no reason to refuse this kind of thing.

On the other side, when Cao Cao heard this suggestion, he subconsciously looked at his father.

A father is a father after all!

This move not only gave Xi Yu face, but also established a marriage relationship with Xi Yu in disguise by taking in the adopted daughter, and also enhanced the reputation of the Cao family.

This can be said to accomplish multiple things with one stone.

After all, Cao Song is somewhat capable. Cao Cao understands it, and Xi Yu naturally sees it thoroughly as well.

There is no harm in this matter for him.

Of course he will not refuse.

"Okay, this matter has been settled. Meng De, you will ask Zhao Ji to come over tomorrow!"

"Okay, Meng De, you stay with Fengyi, I'm a little sleepy!"

Waving his hands towards the two of them, Cao Song returned to the Cao family's backyard with the support of Cao De.

At this time, only Cao Cao and Xi Yu were left in the back hall.

Cao Cao glanced at Xi Yu, then walked directly to him and raised his hand to pat Xi Yu's shoulder.

"Fengyi is such a blessing, that's the Cai family's collection of books!"

"Wen Ruo and others have always told me that they wanted to take a look at the collection of books, but that girl Zhao Ji never agreed!"

"That's a relic left by Mr. Cai. That girl Zhao Ji has always looked at it very important."

"Now, that girl is willing to write a book. If she wants to write a book, they will definitely be jealous!"

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

When Xi Yu mentioned the book collection, he thought that he had not even told Cao Cao about setting up a school.

Although the other party has cleared it up, this kind of thing still needs Cao Cao's approval.

Although he could bypass Cao Cao and do it directly.

But, there is no need for that.

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

"Brother, Yu hasn't spoken to you about the school yet!"

"I wonder what my brother thinks?"

Xi Yu asked Cao Cao, but the latter was not surprised at all.

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

"Since it's a righteous suggestion, I naturally agree with it!"

"It's just that I heard that you intend to recruit ordinary people, which seems to offend 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 establishing schools now.

Speaking of which, the Cao family can now be considered a noble family.

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

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

"And in a world like that, all I want is for everyone to be literate!"

"Brother, you know that the right to study is now controlled by aristocratic families. For hundreds of years, civilians have had no access to it!"

"Is it possible that among the common people, there are no talented people with outstanding abilities?"

"I think my brother also understands that it's not impossible!"

"It's just that these people have been different from the children of aristocratic families since they were born. It's much harder for them to get in touch with books than the nobles of aristocratic families!"

"And how many talented and talented people with outstanding abilities have been hidden in the long river of history!"

"There are only a few people who can make waves!"

"If there are so many outstanding people in the world, will the prosperous age be far behind?"

Aristocratic families control the way for people to rise in the world. The previous inspection and recommendation systems are still controlled by aristocratic families in the final analysis.

As a result, the world will be like a pool of stagnant water, lifeless and without vitality!

"My brother is really confused about the current situation of the Han Dynasty. Is it because of his decline?"

Xiyu paused and asked again.

Then ask and answer your own questions.
