Cai Yong was sitting in his office room, with some official documents placed on his desk.
However, Cai Yong did not read those documents at this time.
He is holding a book in his hand and reading here.
This book is exactly the textbook produced by Liu Cheng.
These things were naturally very superficial to Cai Yong, but he saw them with gusto.
While reading, I couldn't help but nod secretly. I felt that these textbooks compiled by Kede were very good, easy to understand, and did not lose the sage's subtle words and righteousness.
It can play a role in teaching and educating people.
Students taught by such textbooks can greatly reduce the difficulty of enlightenment and allow more people to accept enlightenment.
More people can read and write.
It can lead to the great prosperity of culture and education.
This is a great thing.
Once done well, the success will last forever.
Many people are speculating that after their son-in-law becomes the King of Han, he will immediately bring troops and prepare to fight again and use his military exploits to consolidate his position.
As a result, my son-in-law did not go on a military expedition, but directly started promoting culture and religion!
This is so good!
Although my good son-in-law has acquired some unusual textbooks, and they are different from what ordinary people know, and the contents taught are also different, but this does not hurt anything.
In the future, knowledge will lead to the same destination through different paths...
Just as he was smiling and watching with relish, a civil servant came over and reported that a group of scholars had come outside and asked to see Zhongshu Ling.
The official documents were almost processed, and these books were almost read. Cai Yong thought about it, got up and headed outside, wanting to see what these people were going to do...
“I’ve met Cai Situ!
I’ve met Cai Situ!”
After seeing Cai Yong, those who came came to greet Cai Yong one after another.
Cai Yong returned the courtesy to them and said with a smile: "So that you all know that now I am no longer Situ, but Zhongshu Ling. Please don't call me by the wrong name in the future."
"I've seen Zhongshu Ling!"
These people had no choice but to meet Cai Yong again.
Cai Yong returned the favor with a smile.
"Why are you here looking for me now?"
Cai Yong looked at these people and said with a smile.
Someone stepped forward and said: "I heard that the King of Han was planning to promote education. I had some foolish opinions and wanted to talk to Cai Si... Zhongshu Ling..."
When Cai Yong heard this, the smile on his face became a little stronger.
"You also know about the great education development of the King of Han Dynasty?
This is a great thing!
Are you prepared to come and contribute to this?
So good, so good.”
After hearing what Cai Yong said, these people were stunned for a moment. After thinking about it for a long time, they felt uncomfortable speaking for a while.
"It is true that he is ready to contribute. The King of Han is preparing to develop culture and education, which is a great thing..."
The man followed Cai Yong's words and said.
"That's it...while I was waiting, I was lucky enough to see the teaching materials His Highness the King of Han was going to use. I was a little shocked for a moment and felt...there seemed to be something wrong with this."
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Cai Yong still had a smile on his face.
“Since it is education, we should use the words of saints and Confucian classics to teach and educate people.
But the teaching materials prepared by His Highness the King of Han did not contain Confucian classics.
The Three-Character Classic, disciple regulations, can be said to be fine. Although it is not a Confucian classic, it is more in line with the meaning of the Confucian classics.
It's this... the fable, the book of nature, and the arithmetic...
Something is really wrong...
Moreover, we have also heard that His Highness the King of Han is planning to allow women to enter school. This kind of thing is too against the rules.
Why does a woman need to study? What is the use of it?
But it is better to save some money and use it in other important areas...
Zhongshu orders you to be a great Confucian of the dynasty and the leader of the King of Han. You must advise His Highness the King of Han.
That’s not how education works…”
After this person spoke, the rest of the people began to speak as well.
You say something to me.
They felt that there was a high probability that this would be possible.
After all, the person in front of me is Zhongshu Ling and a great Confucian.
I am interested in education.
Seeing Liu Cheng not teaching students the classics, I must be unhappy...
However, they soon discovered that they and others had been wrong.
"Everyone, my opinion is completely different from yours.
I think the textbooks prepared by the King of Han are very good.
The Three-Character Classic, the Disciple's Rules, is easy to understand and catchy to read. Although it is not a Confucian classic, every sentence is consistent with the teachings, and the saint's subtle words and righteousness are everywhere...
The book of fables teaches people principles through some short stories. Although it is simple, it is fascinating and awakening.
The book of arithmetic is extremely ingenious. I am also studying and dabbling in it. I was the first to come up with the title of Uncle Huang’s numbers.
The Emperor's Numbers are simple and easy to write, and contain many exquisite algorithms. When introduced into arithmetic, they can greatly promote the development of arithmetic..."
Cai Yong said with a smile on his face.
The words he said made those who came full of hope and confidence feel their hearts sinking, which was completely unexpected.
Cai Yong is a famous Confucian in the world, and he will definitely be particularly opposed to this kind of deviant teaching of students without using Confucian classics.
Why has it become like this now?
"But...but this is ultimately unworthy of elegance and will mislead others!
Knowledge is an extremely serious matter and should not be trifled with.
To teach knowledge, you need to use classics, so that you can rectify your mind and body..."
Some people did not want to give up and argued with Cai Yong loudly in an attempt to persuade Cai Yong.
Cai Yong glanced at him, suppressed his smile and said, "Things need to be done step by step.
The same goes for learning. It needs to be easy first and then difficult, step by step.
You and I are both literate people. We all have experienced enlightenment and know what learning is about.
You also know whether what we said is correct or not.
At the time of enlightenment, how many people understood the various principles and other things recorded in the classics?
Even if a teacher explains it, he is still confused. The real understanding only comes as he grows older.
In this case, why can't we make some changes and add some new things to it?
Why still stick to the old ways?
Why can't it be made simpler, reduce the difficulty of enlightenment, and increase students' interest in learning?
Make education fun?
I support the teaching that the King of Han intends to implement and the teaching materials that he has approved.
This is a great thing for a day!
It will bring great prosperity to culture and education!
I will also strongly support it.
It is not to support the King of Han, but to contribute to the prosperity of culture and education."
As Cai Yong spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and unfolded it for everyone to see.
Everyone went to see it and found that it was an open letter written by Cai Yong in his own name.
He greatly praised this incident and called on the learned and ambitious people from all over the world to come to Guanzhong to contribute to the great Han Dynasty and the great development of culture and education.
Let’s celebrate together!
"Everyone, you are all scholars and members of my great family. Now facing such a prosperous age, you need to do your part..."
Cai Yong looked at these people who seemed to be in despair and said this.
For a moment, it seemed a little quiet here.
Cai Yong returned to his office room, thinking about what had just happened, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"A group of short-sighted, self-righteous and stupid people..."
He said aloud, then ignored them, and then started to read his official documents...
The group of people left Cai Yong, looking very flustered and heavy-hearted.
Originally, they only thought that everything would go smoothly after coming here, and Cai Yong would definitely agree with what they said.
As a result, after arriving here, I was immediately stunned by Cai Yong's operation.
Not only did he not agree, but he also recruited them backhand and wanted to get them involved in this matter...
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree. I believe that many people will spontaneously resist this matter.
There are not enough teachers, and there are not enough books. This is still an extremely expensive thing.
Even if we don't do anything, just sit here and watch quietly, and don't participate in teaching and educating people, Liu Chenggong will definitely not be able to do this!"
Someone said this out loud.
Be prepared to neither resist nor cooperate.
Just like this, I quietly watched Liu Cheng build a tall building and watched it collapse.
They really didn't dare to resist too much. They were also afraid of offending Emperor Liu, and Liu Cheng would send troops to arrest them, chop them up, and ransack their homes.
Use their family wealth to build schools and teach knowledge to the children of ordinary people.
This is a shame to think about...
Of course, besides them, there are other people taking action.
Someone came to Yang Biao and asked Yang Biao to say something on this matter.
Yang Biao agreed wholeheartedly, but did not take any further action.
He just threw this matter aside.
At this time, Yang Biao was quite panicked and had no intention of caring about these things.
In other words, I no longer want to do anything that goes against Liu Cheng's wishes.
Yang Biao, the fourth generation and third generation of the Hongnong Yang family, is a bit too miserable compared to the fourth generation and third generation of the Yuan family of Runan.
The two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, one in the south and one in the north, gathered many soldiers, horses and land under their command, and they were extremely powerful.
And Yang Biao was directly dismissed from his official position by Dong Zhuo because of the matter of moving the capital.
If Xun Shuang hadn't been there with Xini and Huang Wan, they would have disappeared at that time.
Although he later became Doctor Guanglu, he never had any real power in his hands.
He could still keep his composure.
But now, he is really panicking.
Because when Uncle Liu Huang established the bureaucracy belonging to the King of Han, he directly excluded him, Huang Wan, and others.
No invitation was sent to them.
If the person who became the King of Han was not a member of the Han family, or even if he was a member of the Han family, but not Liu Huangshu, Yang Biao would not be panicked by this.
And he himself would not think of becoming an official of the King of Han.
However, it was Liu Cheng who became the King of Han, and everything became different.
Because he has seen all kinds of things that Uncle Liu Huang has done, and he can also see that Uncle Liu Huang's situation has become a success!
The possibility of becoming emperor in the future is very, very high.
Up to now, no matter what he said, deep down in his heart he already agreed with Uncle Liu Huang.
After seeing the actions of Xun Shuang, Zhong Yao, Cai Yong, Sima Fang and others, as well as their status at this time, it would be strange not to envy them in my heart.
Moreover, he not only needs to make some considerations for himself, but also for his Yang family.
According to his understanding of Uncle Liu Huang, if they really fail to seize the opportunity, their Yang family will definitely decline.
In the future, Uncle Liu Huang may still be inseparable from the aristocratic family, but there are so many aristocratic families, why must he choose a disobedient family like them?
Under such circumstances, how could he possibly object to what Uncle Liu Huang was planning to do?
Moreover, he is still thinking in his heart whether he should go to Uncle Liu Huang, take the initiative to speak to Uncle Liu Huang, and surrender.
But he seemed hesitant.
I always feel that it is a bit uncomfortable for me, a veteran of the Han Dynasty, to do this, and I cannot get over this hurdle in my heart.
I was worried that when I went, Uncle Liu Huang ignored me at all, and I was in trouble.
After struggling like this for a while, he called a young man.
This young man is not old, he looks like thirteen years old.
He looks relatively thin, with a thin body and a delicate face.
"Grandpa, why did you call the child here?"
After the young man came over, he greeted Yang Biao and asked.
Yang Biao said: "Xiu'er, there are a lot of things going on in Chang'an City now. Uncle Liu Huang is preparing to develop education.
You know this, right?"
The young man was none other than Yang Biao's son, Yang Xiu.
"Of course I know.
Grandpa called me over, but you want me to apply for a job as a teacher?"
Yang Biao was stunned when he heard this: "How do you know that I called you here for this matter?"
Yang Xiu smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this?
Uncle Liu Huang became the King of Han, and from now on, he will most likely be the emperor.
Grandpa, you had some dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo and Uncle Liu before. Uncle Liu established his official system and excluded you.
Grandpa must be a little panicked now and wants to improve his relationship with Uncle Liu Huang.
But I was worried that Uncle Liu Huang would not agree, and he could not discredit the old officials of the Han Dynasty, so he had no choice but to send me, a junior, out first...
Uncle Liu Huang is now preparing to develop education in a big way, but there are not enough people who can be teachers.
Although the child has not learned much, he can still understand the content of the teaching materials that Uncle Liu Huang is currently working on.
I heard that Uncle Liu Huang will also provide early training to those who sign up to become teachers. Under such circumstances, the children will be more qualified to take up the position of teachers...
With these, I can guess what you are calling the children to come over now, what is the difficulty?"
Yang Xiu looked at Yang Biao and said this. Although he was just a young man, he spoke clearly and logically.
It's just the wording and mannerisms that make people want to slap him.
Yang Biao nodded: "What you said is very good. But don't say it next time!"
As a father, when his son said this, he still felt a little embarrassed.
"Now that you know what I mean, go ahead and do it, but when the time comes, you have to temper yourself and don't be too sharp!"
Yang Xiu saluted Yang Biao, responded and went out.
Watching his son leave, Yang Biao sat here and rubbed his feverish face, feeling both happy and worried.
