Grassroots governance.
It is a very new vocabulary that does not belong to this era.
However, such terms do not seem difficult to understand. Grassroots means the bottom. Grassroots governance means that the rulers can lower their gaze and care about the sufferings of the poor...
Cao Cao nodded in agreement.
The violent reforms of the Qin Dynasty, which led to the tragic situation of the people's deprivation of life, are vividly visible, and without exception, they support Yi Xiaotian's point of view.
but…
It seems that in Yanzhou, Cao Cao did a pretty good job in grassroots governance.
Collecting Yellow Turbans, distributing fields, rewarding production, and reclaiming wasteland. Although the people are not very wealthy, they still have clothes to wear and food to eat. In these troubled times, there are not many states and counties that can do this!
Of course, this is mostly due to Brother Yi's suggestions.
Now, through the surface, he has clearly explained the principles contained in the rise and decline of the Han Dynasty, and he has also explained it to the students in a simple and in-depth way, making people enlightened and enlightened. This is what
This shocked Cao Cao extremely.
Yi Xiaotian is right. The decline of the Han Dynasty was not because of anything else, but because of the out-of-control and imbalance of grassroots governance...
As Cao Cao aspires to the world, he must firmly imprint the four words "grassroots governance" in his heart, put it into action, and stick to it.
actually.
Not only Cao Cao...
All the scholars and Confucian scholars, including Sima Yi, were fascinated and drunk. Where had they ever attended such a school?
The forum was opened with the purpose of analyzing sensitive practical matters and answering students' questions.
The students’ minds are like a mirror.
...In these troubled times, what can make scholars and Confucian scholars stand and survive is not those "those who know nothing about it", but those "poems and songs", it is precisely like this Mr. Yi's analysis of the current situation and his understanding of the situation.
control!
Benefited a lot…
The faces of the students without exception showed expressions of satisfaction...
Many students secretly counted the days. They calculated that they must come here to listen to lectures and answer questions on the first and fifteenth day of every new year.
…
After a question came up, several students asked about some current affairs they were concerned about.
Yi Xiaotian's talk made all scholars and Confucian scholars feel enlightened...
Throughout the afternoon, there was a sea of people in front of Shuixie Study Room, but it was unusually quiet. Only Yi Xiaotian's voice echoed loudly in the ten-mile peach forest...
…
…
There is a wine shop.
At midnight, the prince and the Confucian scholars were almost gone.
The wine shop was still brightly lit, and Cao Cao had already poured wine for Yi Xiaotian.
During the day, Brother Yi gave lectures and answered questions to the students. At night, Cao Cao still had a lot of questions on his mind.
"Brother Yi, today's lecture was wonderful!"
Cao Cao praised without hesitation. "If I hadn't heard Brother Yi's insights, I would never have thought that the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty was so closely related to the people at the bottom. I've learned a lesson, I've learned a lesson!"
At this point, Cao Cao changed the subject, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes...
"Brother Yi? But I can't figure it out no matter what. Why does Brother Yi remember it? Why should he give lectures to these scholars and Confucian scholars?"
Cao Cao threw out his doubts...
According to his analysis, Brother Yi is not interested in fame and fortune, so why is he so high-profile? Why does it take so much time and effort to teach students?
"Ahem..."
Yi Xiaotian lowered his voice. He hadn't pretended to teach in so many years, and after speaking so many words all at once, his voice was a little hoarse...
As a history professor, I feel a bit ashamed...
Patting his chest and taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Yi Xiaotian spoke. "Brother, I just said it on a whim..."
"Just talk?"
Cao Cao waved his hands, looking completely unbelieving.
"Brother Yi, these words are enough to deceive a three-year-old child, but don't try to deal with me."
Cao Cao laughed out loud and added another sentence.
"Brother Yi has always been thoughtful in everything he does. He must have a plan for opening the forum this time, right? Is Brother Yi feeling lonely and planning to recruit some close disciples? If so, I have to ask for a few places first..."
No wonder Cao Cao thinks so...
During this period, there were still many hermits and masters in the mountains.
Similarly, these hermits and masters were also very conflicted in their hearts. They were unwilling to participate in worldly disputes, but they were also worried that their talents and knowledge would be wasted because they had nowhere to use them. So, they trained a group of disciples and let them become officials.
, it can be regarded as replacing yourself and living up to what you have learned.
For example, Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, who lived in seclusion in Jingzhou, taught Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu.
Cao Cao subconsciously thought about this, and he felt that Yi Xiaotian probably had the same idea.
Of course, the idea of recruiting closed disciples was a good one. Cao Cao even thought about it and had to send his eldest son Cao Ang to worship Yi Xiaotian as his disciple.
It would be best if we could select another group of people from the younger generations of the Cao and Xiahou clans to learn from Yi Xiaotian. In this way, there will be successors to the Cao and Xiahou clans!
However, ideals are full and reality is backbone...
Facing Cao Cao's question, Yi Xiaotian laughed loudly and immediately waved his hand.
"Brother Hide, you are thinking too much."
"Ah? Brother Yi opened a teaching forum? Isn't it to recruit disciples?" Cao Cao was stunned, looking a little surprised and a little disappointed.
"Teaching closed disciples is so tiring!"
Yi Xiaotian was still laughing, and while laughing, he asked Cao Cao. "Brother, you are still in business! Do you know how much wine my wine shop sold during the two days of teaching? My blacksmith shop
How many pieces of ironware were sold? Even my study easily acquired many ancient books and documents."
…ah…
Cao Cao was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Could it be that this is why Brother Yi held a lecture in Shuixie Study Room?
Before Cao Cao could think about it, Yi Xiaotian's voice came out next.
"Brother Hide, in these two days alone, we sold a month's worth of wine, and the blacksmith shop's orders increased tenfold..."
Speaking of this, the corners of Yi Xiaotian's mouth split open, revealing a cunning smile that only businessmen can have.
"Brother Hide, please taste it again, taste it carefully, the purpose of my teaching is just four words - to make money in the right way."
"Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know, right? Ten years ago, the monthly reviews were not just about criticizing people and praising the current situation. The surrounding wine shops, inns, and tea stalls all made a lot of money. Now,
Things are turning, and the opportunity to make a fortune has come to me, Mr. Yi, haha..."
Huo…
It’s really a good way to make money!
Cao Cao looked confused at first, but after tasting it carefully, he smiled bitterly, embarrassedly...
Sure enough, the familiar Brother Yi is still the same, the treacherous and money-grubbing Brother Yi!
Cao Cao wanted to reveal his identity in his heart. If you want money, I will give it to you. As long as you help me fight for the world, money is easy to discuss.
But when the words came to his lips, Cao Cao swallowed them all...
It's too risky. If Brother Yi knew his true identity, would he be able to chat as freely as he does now?
Will Brother Yi have any reservations about his words?
Also, after all, Cao Cao is not strong enough. In his heart, Cao Cao feels that he is not worthy of Brother Yi!
Thinking of this...
Cao Cao frowned.
"Brother Yi, I also had a question in front of Shuixie Study Room today, but I was too embarrassed to ask."
With a strict expression and a meticulous tone, Cao Cao's eyes were fixed on Yi Xiaotian.
"Brother Yi knows that I have invested a lot of money and energy in Cao Cao. In the current situation, Cao Cao and I are both prospering and losing. So... I just want to ask Brother Yi for advice."
At this point, Cao Cao paused, rolled his eyes, and finally blurted out the question.
"Today, under Cao Cao's governance, Yanzhou is relatively stable. As Brother Yi mentioned in the grassroots governance, there is no imbalance or imbalance on Cao Cao's side! But why? I always feel that Cao Cao is tied up in his fight for the world? Why is this?
Is there any way to allow him to continue working without any restraints?"
