"Hahahaha!" In the Cao army camp in Hebei, Cao Cao has always had a dark face in the Cao army camp for these days, and it is gloomy and terrifying. Because Youzhou was too late to take over, Hebei could not be pacified without Youzhou, and Cao Cao's army was always restrained in Hebei. The daily consumption was astronomical, but today I was particularly happy, and the laughter could be worn outside the camp, making the personal guards inexplicable.

"Is the lord in the camp?" A thin scholar walked into the camp in thick clothes and asked a strong man next to him.

"Sir, the lord is reading in the tent!" the strong man answered the thin scholar and said, "Do you want me to inform me?" the strong man asked as he looked at the thin scholar.

"Well, I understand! No, I'll go in!" The thin scholar nodded, opened the gate and walked in.

There is only one person who can meet Cao Cao without informing him, that is Cao Cao’s most trusted confidant Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.

"What's the matter that makes the lord so happy!" Guo Jia opened the camp and walked into the camp. He saw that Cao Cao was indeed reading a book.

"You are here in Fengxiao!" Cao Cao smiled even deeper when he saw the visitor. "Come on, Fengxiao, come and drink a drink with me as if it's a big deal!" Cao Cao looked in a good mood.

"Lord, is it because I have gained something from studying?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao with some confusion, because Cao Cao had been holding on to the %f, w±ww. The volume, and he felt relieved after reading the book for a while. Isn't this the inspiration obtained from the book.

"No, no, it's Shucang!" Cao Cao said with a smile at Guo Jia.

"Little Young Master?" Guo Jia remembered such a person, that is Cao Cao's youngest son. He is very intelligent and can be said to be a rare genius. If you don't know him, there must have been an allusion, that is, Cao Chong, who is Cao Cao's 25th son, Cao Chong.

Guo Jia would not care whether Cao Chong was smart or not. What made him care about Cao Chong was that Cao Chong was not only wise, but also knew how to advance and retreat. He was also a kind person.

At that time, the army had many affairs, and the punishment was severe and severe. Cao Cao's saddle was gnawed by rats in the warehouse. The officers who managed the warehouse were afraid that they would die. They thought that they wanted to tie their hands behind their back and surrender, but they were still afraid that they would not be exempted from the crime. Cao Chong said to him: "Wait for three days, and then you will surrender automatically." Cao Chong then exposes his single clothes with a knife, just like a mouse biting, pretending to be unhappy, and his face looks worried. Cao Cao asked him, and Cao Chong replied: "Folk custom believes that if a mouse bites the clothes, the owner will be unlucky. Now the single clothes are bitten, so it is sad." Cao Cao said: "That's nonsense. There is no need to worry." Soon the clerk reported the rat biting the saddle. Cao Cao smiled and said: "My son's clothes are right next to him, and he is bitten, let alone the saddle hanging on the pillar?" He did not blame the clerk at all.

Cao Chong was kind-hearted and well-informed. Like this incident, he was killed for a crime, but was secretly defended by Cao Chong and was helped to forgive him. There were dozens of people. Cao Cao praised Cao Chong several times and had plans to let Cao Chong inherit his great cause.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Jia has a good sense of Cao Chong. In one day, he first came out to determine the world with martial arts, and then he had to produce an Emperor Wen. This is not a coincidence, but it is inevitable. Because the world of Wu will inevitably lead to the lack of virtue in the world. After all, everyone came from that era of cannibalism, and then they should teach the people to understand reason and human nature, and cultivate themselves and peace with the people.

Cao Chong is such a person in Guo Jia's mind. Cao Cao conquers the world with force, and then Cao Chong is kind and kind to help the world.

Originally, there was Cao Ang who was kind, but unfortunately Cao Ang died early. As for the second son Cao Pi, Guo Jia was really not interested in him, and it could even be said to be avoiding him because Cao Pi's resentment and scruples were too small. For emperors, he must have the magnanimity of the emperor, which Cao Pi could not do.

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, "Fengxiao, when I go back, I want Shucang to take you as my teacher!" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said.

"Ask me as your teacher?" A trace of light appeared in Guo Jia's eyes.

"Lord, have you really decided to do this?" Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao tightly and hoped to get an answer from Cao Cao's eyes.

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded heavily.

"What about the second young master?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao. The second young master had grown up. He might not have any associations in the original state, but now it is different. The eldest brother who was pressing on him has gone. He is now the eldest son. If this is the case, the second young master would not be willing to do so.

"Don't worry! Fengxiao, as long as I am here, he will definitely feel at ease!" Cao Cao said to Guo Jia.

"Oh, I hope this is the case!" Guo Jia sighed. The second young master is a terrible person that Guo Jia looks at. Will he be willing to do it! Who is Guo Jia? He is Cao Cao's absolute confidant. Teaching Cao Chong to Guo Jia and asking Cao Chong to become a disciple of Guo Jia is equivalent to announcing the future heir of the Cao family.

"This is a book sent by the young master!" Guo Jia looked at the book in Cao Cao's hand over there, and Cao Cao did not avoid it and handed it over to Guo Jia. Only then did Guo Jia see why Cao Cao smiled so happily? This book is not the Analects of Confucius, not the Zuo Zhuan, but the four big characters, Meng De's new book.

This is Cao Cao's hard work over the years, and a total of thirteen articles are all important methods of using military force. It is Cao Cao who summarized the strategies he used over the years, as well as things to pay attention to when marching and fighting. Guo Jia read this book and nodded very much. He once gave Cao Cao some suggestions. In the past, they were all scattered, but now they are bound into books and completely written.

Guo Jia turned over and saw a sentence that reads wisely and openly, what saints learn, what the world prospers Qiao Xuan.

It's true! Guo Jia smiled bitterly.

"This Shucang was able to find Qiao Gong. He was filial to mention words for this book!" Cao Cao also saw the page that Guo Jia opened and said, his face was full of the kindness of a father and a kind of filial piety of his son. It was better for others to publish books. It was better to publish books by others, which did not conform to the style of the Chinese clan. Because of the way of modesty, Cao Cao's new book, which has been written for a long time, was still scattered manuscripts. And the son published books for his father, which was filial and could reflect his talents. Why not let his books be passed on to the world?

The relationship between Cao Cao and Qiao Xuan is quite good. Qiao Xuan is one of the few people he admires. The two were still good friends at the age of old. If Cao Cao wasn't really old, Qiao Xuan might have wanted to betroth his daughter to Cao Cao.

"Lord, have you noticed that the handwriting in these several books is understood!" Guo Jia opened all the basic Meng De's new books on Cao Cao's desk and said to Cao Cao.

"Huh?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. He really didn't pay attention to this, because he was always happy with Cao Chong's filial piety, and he really didn't notice the handwriting on these books. Now, it turns out that the handwriting on them is exactly the same, and it is neatly crafted. Cao Cao thought he could not write such good words, and there was no deviation in the handwriting of the books.

"Is it like me. Is it so talented that I can count books without any difference?" Cao Cao was a little surprised. He saw that Meng De's new books were not all correct or wrong, because many words in the ancient books were all false, and there was no big mistake in deviation, but these books were exactly the same as those in the wrong, which surprised Cao Cao.

"This doesn't seem to be written, it's like it's made of imprints!" Cao Cao became puzzled. There was a way to think about the same handwriting, that is, the handwriting used for the incarnation of soldiers on their faces was the same, and the private slaves who traded were also carved.

"That's right, lord, these books are really imprinted!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.

"These words?" Cao Cao was puzzled again. Printing actually appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. Carving the handwriting on the carving board and applying brush and ink to put paper or cloth on it is a fraud to print article.

However, this printing technique is convenient, but the price is high. This new book of Meng De also has tens of thousands of words. How many carved versions are needed? The price is not expensive.

"Lord, these books come from Yangzhou!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.

"Yangzhou?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. Yes, the new Meng De book sent by Cao Chong to Cao Cao was indeed produced in Yangzhou. Liu Mang added an additional business when selling books in a big way, which was to publish books for others. The author may be embarrassed, but if you want to please others, this is a way. Collect and copy his daily manuscripts and send them to Yangzhou. If you don't say that you will definitely send them to you for ten days and half a month.

Print as much as you want. As long as you have money, of course, this is a book that you should write for you. The price is not thirty cents per book, but half a gold one. Cao Zhi bought a thousand copies for his father and spent 500 gold. This can be considered a lot of money. Of course, he also made his father happy very successfully.

"Master, I am here to talk to you about Yangzhou!" As he said that, Guo Jia handed over the letter in his hand. This was a letter sent by the uncle and nephew of the Xun family in Xudu. It clearly stated the actions of Yangzhou over the past few days.

"All the books of the Analects of Confucius, Zuo Zhuan, fifty-words per book?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. Because there was a shipping fee, these books were shipped to Yanzhou and Zhili, where Cao Cao's capital, changed from thirty-words to fifty-words. Twenty of them were freight.

But that's it, it's too cheap! Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia a little unbelievable. If this book was so cheap, Cao Cao would want to buy a thousand or eight hundred books. After all, Cao Cao is also a person who likes to read.

"Lord, every sentence above this letter is true!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.

"This is a good thing!" Cao Cao really planned to buy a thousand,800 books at home so that the boys at home could read more books. "Mr. Qiao may be famous all over the world!" Cao Cao said with a smile. There was Qiao Xuan's words on each book. It can be said that Qiao Xuan has become a worship model for those scholars.

"It's not just Mr. Qiao!" Guo Jia also admires Qiao Xuan very much. After all, this person is a real person who can make peace with literature and martial arts. Therefore, Guo Jia admires people like Qiao Xuan very much, so he calls Qiao Gong.

"Yeah?" Cao Cao became confused.

"Lord, please read this letter again!" As he said that, Guo Jia handed over another letter to Cao Cao. Cao Cao took it over and looked over. His eyes widened as he saw it.

"The Yangzhou exam?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in confusion.

Guo Jia nodded, "This Yangzhou exam is once a year. The person who takes three of them will be an official!" Guo Jia explained the content of this Yangzhou exam to Cao Cao.

"Except for women, you can participate in the exam under the 18th!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.

"There is no difference between poor children? The gentry children?" Cao Cao asked in confusion.

"That's right!" Guo Jia nodded.

Cao Cao's eyes turned, "This is a good thing! If Fengxiao before you met me, you can try it!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"It's better to be so simple!" Guo Jia said with white eyes and said, "Lord, is this world the world of the gentry or the world of these poor children?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao.

"The world of the gentry?" This answer makes sense, because although the gentry only accounts for a few percent of the entire huge population base, they control 80% of the wealth in the world. Only that 20% of the wealth is occupied by these poor people.

But you can also say that it is the world of poor children, because the population base is there, and the huge population occupies the world. No matter how elite your gentry is, there are only so many people.

"Lord, this is a good plan for this Prince of Shu in Yangzhou!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.

"Yeah?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in confusion.

"These books were sold to Zhili, Yanzhou, but only fifty cents a book. If you give them to your lord, will you buy them?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao.

"Buy this naturally!" Cao Cao nodded. Not only did he want to buy it, but he also had to buy hundreds of books. Who would dislike too many books?

"Lord, you can buy hundreds of books, those poor children. If you don't have thousands of books, you can buy at least two or three books. If you save money, you will basically have no problem buying more!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.

"The books that were originally out of reach have become within reach!" Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh. When he wanted to study and borrow a book, it was really hard to work hard to ask his grandpa to take a look, and he had to return it in time. Otherwise, people would not lend it to you in the future. It was because of Guo Jia's hard work that he has the current talent.

As books are easy to come into contact with, there are naturally more people who read books, and more talented people.

"This is also a good thing!" Cao Cao still wondered. The ancients were poor and kept the ideal of helping the world, and those who were successful would have the same ideal as helping the world. There was one more that was to help the world, which was to make the people wise. Cao Cao had more talents under his command, and he was not too late to be happy.

"Lord, if there are ten talented people from poor families, do you want them?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao.

"Why, why, you have someone to choose to filial piety?" Cao Cao was the first to smoke crabs. Like Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, who is a poor family, is not weaker than those of the gentry.

One of the reasons why Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao was that Cao Cao was respectful to the wise and the nobles. This scholar also included people from poor families. He appreciated talented people. However, Yuan Shao was different. He was respectful to the wise and the inferiors, and he only disdained the gentry. He had a low status. Therefore, Guo Jia was originally under Yuan Shao's command and later came to Cao Cao's hands.

"What if it is a hundred?" Guo Jia asked again.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment. If he was really a hundred poor children, although it was difficult to do, Cao Cao still responded in a low voice, "Yes!"

"What if they were thousands of talented poor children!" Guo Jia asked again.

Cao Cao's expression finally changed. Does Cao Cao want thousands of talented poor children? Of course, if they want them, as long as these individuals are talented, they don't have to be like Guo Jia. As long as there is one percent of Guo Jia, then there are ten Guo Jias in total. How could Cao Cao not want them? But it is one thing to want, and it is another thing to want them.

There are ten poor children, Cao Cao can guard them to various official positions regardless of anyone's ideas. Although a hundred are a little difficult, Cao Cao is not helpless. At worst, he can only give some benefits to the gentry.

But one thousand! Haha, if Cao Cao dared to arrange all of these thousand people into the officialdom, the gentry would have had amazement. Because the officials were limited, those who had power would have been divided up by those gentry long ago. Did you send poor children to steal their jobs? If these talented poor children were placed in other places, Cao Cao would be unwilling to accept it. That's why he changed his face.

"Lord, the book in Yangzhou is so cheap now. It has made people's wisdom. This talented person in the poor family must be like crossing the river. They can't get official positions in Yanzhou and Zhili. Where do you think they are going back!" Guo Jia asked again.

Cao Cao was taciturn, and he knew it without saying that he could tell with his butt, that was to go to Yangzhou. After studying and gaining knowledge, he would naturally go to Yangzhou to take the big exam, so that he could become an official. Isn’t studying just to be an official? Liu Mang gave those poor children hope to be an official. It can be said that as long as he is a student and those who have recognized his talents will definitely go to Yangzhou to take the big exam. This is equivalent to a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and it is also the only clear way for their poor children to become officials.

If Guo Jia had not been introduced by Xi Zhicai and the Xun family's uncle and nephew, Cao Cao would not have known him. How many talented people are not known to those celebrities?

"Can't we learn from King Liu Mang of Shu to take the big exam?" Cao Cao also asked in confusion. Cao Cao had an idea, that was to learn from King Liu Mang of Shu to take the big exam. I will also take the big exam, and everyone will share the talents equally.

"Lord, can you try it?" Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile. He was not optimistic about Cao Cao's idea! This officialdom is actually a big cake for the gentry. They have already distributed which piece to whom. How could you let Cao Cao move? You can indeed hire a few of them. But only a few are harmless. But if you really play this big exam and pass the gentry, you will be completely finished. You are planning to smash the gentry's cake. Can they let you go! Once this opening is opened, the advantage of the gentry's natural official office will be completely destroyed, so those gentry will definitely not let Cao Cao open this opening.

Cao Cao's trumpeting was indeed a big problem. Cao Cao was not afraid of one or two gentry clans, but the entire gentry interest group had to be guarded. He now began to envy King Liu Mang of Shu, because King Liu Mang of Shu was able to carry out the big test. One of the inevitable reasons was that King Liu Mang of Shu occupied the three continents, and basically all the gentry clans were dead. Even if there were, they would survive under the breath of King Liu Mang of Shu.

But Cao Cao is different. Not to mention other gentry clans, just the Cao family, Xiahou clans, these are all big gentry clans, Xun family, Ma family, and Sima family Zhong in Guanzhong. These are all big gentry clans. Cao Cao is thanks to the support of these large gentry clans, allowing him to have the strength today. Similarly, this is also a disadvantage, that is, Cao Cao dare not attack the gentry on a large scale, and even relies on the gentry clans.

"What if we do!" Cao Cao thought of another thing, that is, the circulating of feudal books, so that Yangzhou books cannot be sold to Zhili, Yanzhou. In this way, you can't let my talents fall into your Yangzhou.

"?Haha, lord, how can I block it like a torrent? Have you forgotten the pre-Qin First Emperor!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.

Pre-Qin, Qin Shihuang of Qin! Cao Cao thought of this man, with great talent and strategy, and the Qin King destroyed the six kingdoms and looked down on He Xiongzai. But even such a person could not stop the spread of books. Burning books and burying scholars should have broken the Confucian heritage, but now Confucianism is the most important thing, so the storytelling thing is really unblockable.

Even if Cao Cao wants to block the other princes, what about them? It will also allow Liu Mang, Yangzhou, to gain talents from all over the world.

"What can I do about it!" Cao Cao became bitter. This was not possible, that was not possible! What was going on? Was it like to watch Liu Mang, the King of Shu, putting the world's talent building into his arms!

"Lord, since His Highness of Shu has made up his mind to win the hearts of poor children in the world, then let's take the other side!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao that Liu Mang's big exam and books made studying a possibility, and gave the poor children the possibility of promotion. Therefore, he has won the hearts of poor children in the world, so the ones that are opposite to the poor children are these gentry.

"You mean!" Cao Cao's eyes shone with light. The move of King Shu Liu Mang of King of the world attracted the hearts of the poor families in the world, but it was cold. The cake that could not be beaten by King Shu Liu Mang had been cut off half of the cake, and it might even be seized. You said that the geniuses in the world would be willing! If he was unwilling to give up, he would naturally isolate His Highness the King of Shu, and it was also for their cake. He was afraid that later generations would have to do his best to destroy His Highness the King of Shu. As the only one who can compete with His Highness the King of Shu was Cao Cao.

So, King Liu Mang of Shu got the hearts of poor children in the world, and then Cao Cao got the hearts of the gentry in the world.
To be continued...
