Chapter 114 Prodigal

"Mr. Kangde, shouldn't you also do your part for Jinling Academy?"

On the way down the mountain, Yuan Shuthief smiled and said to Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan saw Yuan Shu's despicable behavior and slapped him on the head: "As the leader of Jiangdong, you should pay attention to your manners. How can you be so frivolous!"

Yuan Shu cried out in pain and touched his head: "You know I am the Lord of Jiangdong and you still beat me on my territory!"

Zheng Xuanqi's beard stood up: "Your father and I are friends. In terms of seniority, you should call me uncle. As an elder, what's wrong with me educating you?"

Yuan Shu really couldn't stand up to this stubborn old man, so he turned his head and shut his mouth.

Zheng Xuan looked at Yuan Shu's angry expression, his eyes flashed, and he said with some nostalgia: "Gao Dao, you look like a child now! We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. If it weren't for the similarity in appearance, I wouldn't have recognized you.

.It seems that you have made great progress in these years!"

Yuan Shu curled his lips: "Oh, that's nice to say. Back then, my father asked you to be my teacher, but you didn't agree. Now you must regret it!"

Zheng Xuan slapped Yuan Shu on the head again: "Don't you know what you were like back then? The number one dude in Luoyang! With your stinky and stubborn character, who can teach you? Don't blame me.

Well, which one of Cai Bozhe and Lu Zigan dares to accept you as a disciple? I am a great scholar, so I can’t accept just anyone! Wouldn’t accepting you ruin my reputation?”

Yuan Shu touched his head distressedly again and looked at Zheng Xuan fiercely: "In the end, it's not because you have no ability? Look at me now! Wouldn't I be successful without your professors? You all are blind and can't see.

If you show my excellence, you will regret it!"

Zheng Xuan looked at Yuan Shu's naughty look and sighed softly: "I have to say that I was really wrong back then. The talented person who originally thought he had grown crooked has grown to such an extent. Highway, your ambition and talent are no less than

To your brother!"

Yuan Shu said confidently: "My brother is indeed an unparalleled hero, but he is still a little behind compared to me!"

Zheng Xuan rarely rolled his eyes: "After so many years, you have grown up, but you are still so arrogant! You don't know how to restrain yourself."

Yuan Shu said nonchalantly: "I'm not arrogant, but confident! If you don't believe me, wait another ten years and see how big the gap is between him and me."

Zheng Xuan looked at the long line of people and caravans lined up at the gate of Jinling City not far away: "Maybe!"

Yuan Shu looked at Zheng Xuan solemnly: "To be honest, Mr. Kangde, Jinling Academy does not lack books and materials, but it lacks enough teachers. Although I can recruit a group of people, I am afraid that their level is not enough, so this

I still need your help!"

Why did Yuan Shu recruit this guy even if he didn't hesitate to offend Tao Qian? Isn't it because Zheng Xuan was a great Confucian in the world, with many peaches and plums all over the world?

Not to mention Zheng Xuan's disciples, there are still one or two thousand, both registered and anonymous. This time he came with more than two hundred disciples, among whom there were thirty or forty outstanding talents from the county.

Every great Confucian is a walking top academy. Zheng Xuan can summon hundreds of scholars just by waving his hand. Although most of these scholars are unlikely to recognize Yuan Shu as their master, they continue to study in the academy.

Teaching and educating people should not be rejected.

As long as he has hundreds of outstanding scholars as teachers, Yuan Shu can train nearly 10,000 qualified officials within three to five years, and by then he will no longer have to be restricted by aristocratic families.

Zheng Xuan naturally would not refuse this matter. He looked at Yuan Shu and nodded: "But if my disciples are not willing to become officials, don't force them."

Yuan Shu naturally understands this. As long as these people don't defect to other princes, Yuan Shu can tolerate whatever they want: "Young man, I understand."

Only then did Zheng Xuan leave with satisfaction: "I have already written to my disciples before coming here. It is estimated that they will arrive one after another within half a month."

Yuan Shu looked at Zheng Xuan's back: People become more mature with age! Having an old man in a family is like having a treasure, it's true!

The next day, the news that Jinling Academy was about to enroll students in a month, and that Zheng Xuan was in charge and the library was opening began to spread throughout the world.

After hearing this, countless students packed their bags and prepared to trek thousands of miles to Jinling.

In Kuaiji, several big gentry families who were busy sorting out supplies and people to be shipped to Yizhou received the news. They felt that this was another trick by Yuan Shu to target the gentry families. These gentry families were immediately panicked and immediately all

They gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Open an academy, open the library, and recruit scholars from all over the world! Yuan Gongli is determined to get rid of our shackles!" In a wide hall, the head of the Lu family, Lu Kang, said in a low voice.

"Yuan Shu has never been willing to rule the world with my family. He is too domineering!" Someone said coldly.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. After all, Yuan Shu comes from our family. Although this person has a strong desire for control, he is not a cold person. Although he is a little too defensive about our family, he is not unwilling to rule with us.

The matter of the Yizhou fiefdom in the world is enough to explain it." Gu Mingdao, the head of the Gu family.

The other aristocratic families curled their lips inwardly, you Gu family and Zhu family have already made up your mind to follow Yuan Shu to death. Of course, you always say good things about Yuan Shu no matter what he does. If we weren't afraid of arousing Yuan Shu's resentment, we would have put you two on the wall a long time ago.

The Jiangdong family has been eliminated.

In fact, the purpose of this discussion was not so much to discuss how to deal with Yuan Shu, but rather to have the three major families appease other families on behalf of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu had just thrown out such a big cake in the fiefdom, and even if the aristocratic families wanted to object, they were embarrassed to do so at this juncture.

Otherwise, Yuan Shu would really not dare to do this at this critical moment when the army is marching to Jingzhou.

"The most important thing about an academy is books, and the most important thing about books is paper and bamboo slips. Nowadays, the best paper on the market is worth a piece of gold, and it is impossible to use it in large quantities. And bamboo slips are inconvenient to record, and it is impossible to use them in large quantities."

In fact, we don’t need to worry about making books." Lu Kang said with relief.

"But there are many books in many enlightenment colleges in Jiangdong! The best paper on the market is made by craftsmen under Yuan Shu. I'm afraid he still has a lot of paper there." The head of the First Family said.

"There is no need to worry too much about this. The teachers at the Enlightenment College each have at most a Thousand-Character Classic, a Hundred Family Names and a Book of Arithmetic, which add up to only dozens of pages. Real books require

There are far more papers than this, even if Yuan Shu is rich and powerful, he can't afford them."

"But this time Yuan Shu stole countless treasures from Dong Zhuo. With his character of spending money lavishly, I'm afraid it is really possible to give all the students a few books each." An angry voice said.

People around him also nodded.

They have seen a lot of prodigal sons, but they have never seen a prodigal like Yuan Shu. The Yuan family's hundreds of years of accumulation were lost by 70% of this guy in one year! And it's not for enjoyment or the army, it's for those untouchables.

Send money!

Throughout the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was probably the only prodigal who could defeat Yuan Shu. And it was only the current Yuan Shu. If we compare in ten years, it’s really hard to say which of the two was more prodigal.

Lu Kang sighed heavily: "I don't know how the Yuan family cultivated such a freak! You are truly worthy of being the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third prince!"
