Chapter 112 Zheng Xuan
Yuan Shu had long planned to build a top academy.
There are many academies in Yangzhou now, but these academies are only used for enlightenment, teaching literacy and some basic knowledge to children from poor families or those who are qualified.
Relying on these academies, Yuan Shu could not cultivate backbone talents at all. What he cultivated were petty officials who could only handle trivial matters. But the backbone talents who could really manage a county or even a county had to be selected from the children of aristocratic families and poor families.
However, the number of outstanding children from poor families was too small. In the entire Yangzhou officialdom, children from poor families accounted for less than 30% of the total. Moreover, most of these people were quite different from the children of aristocratic families, so Yuan Shucai always had to look at the faces of the aristocratic families and be restricted by them.
With such a weak point being pinched by the aristocratic family, Yuan Shu, who has a strong desire for control, has always been very uneasy. If he cannot change this situation, as his ruling territory grows larger, he will become more and more constrained and restricted by the aristocratic family. Therefore, Yuan Shu is anxious
It is necessary to establish a top academy to cultivate a large number of core talents who are loyal to themselves.
It is not an easy task to build a top academy to attract talented students from poor families to study. Rich books, strong teachers and top scholars are all indispensable.
In the late Han Dynasty, there were two top colleges, one was Yingchuan Academy and the other was Lumen Academy.
Yingchuan Academy was opened by the Xun family, and countless talents came out of it, such as Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, etc.
Basically, all the famous counselors under Cao Cao came from here. The Xun family probably also believed in Cao Cao, which is why so many talented people defected to him.
Lumen College is not bad at all. The dean is Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui. There are also many great talents who have come out of it, such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, etc. Similarly, Liu Bei made his fortune through these people.
Yuan Shu wants to be free from the constraints of aristocratic families and have enough backbone talents, so he naturally needs to build such a top academy. He is not short of money and food now, and the books looted from Luoyang are more than the previous two academies combined. Teacher
The problem is easy to solve, but what is missing now is a great scholar who can hold his own.
That's why Guo Jia was asked to search everywhere for traces of these great scholars.
There were only a few of the most famous Confucian scholars in the late Han Dynasty. Lu Zhi had been invited away by Yuan Shao, but fortunately, this guy had always been in poor health. According to history, it was estimated that he would not live for more than a year.
Cai Yong was highly regarded by Dong Zhuo, and he was devoted to the Han Dynasty and unwilling to cooperate with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu would not be able to get this guy if Dong Zhuo did not die. Among the remaining people, Zheng Xuan was the one who could do it.
Although this guy is over sixty years old, he is still strong. With Zhang Zhongjing here, he will have no problem living for another twenty years. Moreover, he resigned and lived in seclusion in Xuzhou, which happened to be not far from Yangzhou.
Yuan Shu talked about his ideas and plans to spread knowledge to the poor people in the world, and then handed over the printed books. The guy's eyes immediately lit up, and he was ready to rush to Yangzhou.
Tao Qian can't even stop that guy. After all, Zheng Xuan is a famous scholar all over the world. No matter who he is, he has to be respectful. No one dares to force him wherever he wants to go, otherwise most of his soldiers will rebel.
.
Think about the history of Mi Heng who dared to jump in front of Cao Cao, scolded Cao Cao's subordinates all the time, but was forced to throw him to Jingzhou by Cao Cao. Isn't it because this guy has the title of a great Confucian?
In order to invite Lu Zhi from Hebei to come out, even the arrogant and arrogant Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, had to come to the door respectfully and make a gesture of invitation. This shows how resounding the name of the great Confucian was. In the prosperous times, these people
When he scolded the emperor in front of him, neither the emperor nor the people below dared to say a word. Of course, Emperor Ling's stupidity didn't count.
Zheng Xuan didn't have any airs or a bad temper, and he didn't care about some of Yuan Shu's dirty ideas. His life goal was to study Confucian classics and educate a poor family. The latter idea happened to coincide with Yuan Shu's, and Yuan Shu had almost all Dongguan here.
Collection of books.
How could he endure this? After receiving the invitation, he rushed to Yangzhou non-stop and was about to arrive.
In order to show his sincerity, Yuan Shu respectfully greeted the big boss in front of the gate of Jinling City and took him directly to Jinling Academy on Zhongshan Mountain outside Jinling City.
The purple air above Jinling is like a dragon, and Zhongshan is the place with the strongest purple air. If it weren't for the fact that this is a mountain range and it's inconvenient to enter and exit, Yuan Shu would have wanted to build the general's palace here.
However, this place is not far from Jinling City, and is very secluded and deep, which is just suitable for building an academy. Yuan Shu decisively chose to build Jinling Academy in such an isolated place. With the addition of countless rich purple energy, these scholars must have
Your studies and abilities will be improved.
Zheng Xuan had just arrived at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain. When he looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up: "The highway here has beautiful scenery and good Feng Shui. It can be called a treasure land!"
Yuan Shu smiled calmly: "Kang Chenggong really has good eyesight, and this is the place that the boy carefully selected. Please persist, Kang Chenggong, Jinling Academy is on the mountain."
Zheng Xuan jumped off the carriage without a care, straightened his sleeves and laughed heartily: "Gao Dao, you underestimate me! My body is not weak. With Zhongjing here, and so many classics and students, what's wrong with me?
I have to live for another twenty years before I am willing to accept it!"
Looking at the old man who was bouncing around and moving very nimbly, Yuan Shu turned to look at Zhang Zhongjing speechlessly, and whispered: "I mean Zhongjing! Is it really okay for Mr. Kang Cheng to do this?"
Before Zhang Zhongjing had time to answer, Zheng Xuan slapped Yuan Shu on the head: "Shuzi, do you underestimate me so much? In order to study, I traveled all over Han Dynasty, as far north as the Great Wall and as far west as Xiliang. If it weren't for my age,
When you get older, I can run around Zhongshan Mountain without losing breath! But you, as a master, how can you be so frivolous, and you are so weak, what should you do on the battlefield? "
Looking at Zheng Xuan who started to educate him whenever he disagreed, Yuan Shu shrank his head and thought to himself: There used to be Tian Feng who lectured me with words all day long. Now here comes this old man. He not only lectures me but also beats me. I
Are you looking for trouble yourself?
But I have to say that all the great Confucian scholars of this era are really powerful. A gentleman is proficient in all six arts. When he mounts his horse, he is a general, and when he dismounts, he is a prime minister. Especially the great scholar Lu Zhi, who can be called one of the three generals of the Han Dynasty, is simply unbelievable.
, Gongsun Zan is this guy’s proud disciple.
The Confucian scholars at this time were completely different from those rotten Confucian scholars in later generations. Their martial arts should not be underestimated. If nothing else, even Guo Jia, who was as skinny as a monkey, knew how to use swordsmanship. Although it wasn't great, he could stand up to three or five of them.
The soldiers are still no problem.
Although the old man in front of him was not as skilled in both civil and military skills as Lu Zhi, his force should not be underestimated. Now Yuan Shu might not be able to defeat him in a one-on-one battle.
Yuan Shu burst into tears whenever he mentioned martial arts. For some reason, he was just not suitable for practicing martial arts. Yuan Shu had also tried to practice martial arts when he had just traveled through time, so he could roam the battlefield.
However, after practicing with Ji Ling for half a month, he found that there was no effect at all. Yuan Shu realized how poor his martial arts qualifications were, and decisively gave up the idea of practicing martial arts. Because he found that although he was a scumbag in terms of martial arts, even Guo Guo
He can't defeat Jiadu, but his mental power is very strong.
Perhaps it was the change that occurred when the two souls were combined together. Yuan Shu's mental power was even far superior to that of a top strategist like Guo Jia. Relying on this mental power, although Yuan Shu could not kill the enemy, he was enough to protect himself.
So after realizing that his dream of being a strong general was out of reach, Yuan Shu decisively gave up. Since he didn’t need to use force to solve problems, why would he learn from him? If he wanted to learn martial arts, what value would Dian Wei have? Yuan Shu comforted himself in his heart.
