Sima Yi had never thought that his words would come true. Cao Zhi was actually sweeping the road now.
However, what Cao Zhi was sweeping now was the main road in front of a courtyard in Luoyang.
Other than sending Ding Qiong to open up wasteland and recruit refugees, Cao Zhi also established an academy in the center of Luoyang and personally named it the Great Wei Academy.
Because of this Academy, Cao Zhi had sent out all his subordinates, including his maids, to cook for the people. In this way, the work of cleaning the courtyard could only be done by our Young Master himself.
Fortunately, Cao Zhi's muscles and bones were strong, so it was effortless for him to do it, and he did not feel tired.
For the sake of this "Great Wei Academy", Cao Zhi even picked up a pen and paper that he had not touched for a long time and personally wrote an ode for it.
The current Cao Zhi had long been famous for his talent in the "Famous Capital Chapter","White Horse Chapter", and other songs. Now that he was writing, he did not disgrace his reputation in the slightest. With just the movement of his pen, he wrote a masterpiece that was handed down for generations.
Of course, this was only because Cao Zhi was too familiar with Cao Zhi's poems before he transmigrated. That was why he wrote like a god. He casually changed a piece and released it, and it was a famous piece.
The Great Wei Academy was actually an academy that was modeled after the imperial examination system. However, for now, there was only an examination system for promotion and no official positions had been established. Therefore, at most, it was the kind of examination that allowed primary school to advance to junior high school, junior high school to senior high school, and senior high school to advance to university.
Under Cao Zhi's appointment, this matter was handed over to Yang Xiu.
In Cao Zhi's imagination, it was the most suitable for this conceited and talented scholar who liked to show off to teach these illiterate commoners.
As expected, after hearing the heavy responsibility Cao Zhi gave, Yang Xiu immediately had a bitter face.
Even if you say that I like to show off, I'm only showing off to people of the same level or even higher. To these commoners who can't even read, what else can I show off? Besides, you want me to teach commoners how to write. How can a talented person like me teach them how to read? Isn't this overkill?
But no matter what Yang Xiu said, Cao Zhi would not listen. He closed his ears and focused his eyes. He was determined to make Yang Xiu f * ck the scholar. No matter what he said, it was useless.
In the end, when he saw that Yang Xiu was still unwilling and wanted to say something, Cao Zhi's words stopped him."What's wrong? Yang Dezu was such a talented person, but he couldn't even teach a child. He didn't even dare to teach a child. Could it be that he was afraid of exposing his lack of talent? Haha, I'll definitely talk to Kong Rong, Mi Heng, and the others about such an incredible matter.”
Hearing Cao Zhi's words, Yang Xiu's face flushed red, but he couldn't swear at Cao Zhi. In the end, he thought for a while and still accepted the order to teach unhappily.
Cao Zhi looked at Yang Xiu's cheerful back as he left after receiving the order and also revealed a satisfied smile.
Actually, Cao Zhi had his own plans for letting Yang Xiu do this.
In ancient times (including before Cao Zhi transmigrated), what was the most important thing that could determine a person's life and future?
Without a doubt, it was knowledge!
Knowledge determines fate. This saying was definitely not groundless.
In the Han Dynasty, the official selection policy was the inspection system. What was the inspection system? In fact, it was said that it was to select outstanding local youths to become officials, but this was only on the surface. The real inspection system would not do this at all.
Those who could truly become officials through the inspection system and become the true beneficiary of the inspection system were all the children of the great clans!
Cao Zhi knew this fact better than anyone else.
Throughout the Three Kingdoms, 80 to 90 percent of those who could leave their names were people from great clans. Even the grassroots Liu Bei had to find a name for himself.
Family background had become the pride of everyone in the Great Han Dynasty. A person with a low family background would not be able to receive a good education because education was completely monopolized by the great clans. For people with low family background, they would not have the opportunity or power to receive education.
For example, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others were born in very low backgrounds. Even after they became founding generals, there were still no detailed birth dates recorded in the history books. This was the so-called " death without life " people.
And these people could only charge into the enemy lines as generals, using their innate martial strength to fight for the world. This kind of path was very difficult and dangerous.
The knowledge of the Great Han Dynasty was basically monopolized. Not everyone had the talent like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so they did not have the capital and conditions to change their fate. The poorer the poor, the bigger the aristocratic families. Finally, the aristocratic families expanded too much, and their ambitions gradually rose. They began to fight against each other and refused to accept each other, which led to the chaotic world.
The Great Wei Academy that Cao Zhi had established recruited and nurtured these refugees. During the day, they would work in the fields and let their children receive education. At night, they would return to the academy to attend classes.
Of course, Cao Zhi also understood that these refugees did not understand the importance of knowledge. Many of them would probably not cooperate, thinking that Cao Zhi was robbing them of their rest time and oppressing them. Cao Zhi ignored all of these.
Because Cao Zhi believed that once they started learning, they would definitely feel the benefits of learning. Slowly, they would no longer have such complaints. They would even be grateful to him because he had helped them break away from the ranks of the lowly and join the ranks of the minority.
Therefore, Cao Zhi had set a rule that they had to attend classes at night. Otherwise, they were not allowed to stay in the dormitory provided by Cao Zhi and continue to be refugees.
Therefore, after enjoying such a stable life, they naturally didn't want to be refugees anymore. Even if they were a little dissatisfied, none of them left. They followed the rules and lived here.
The reason why Cao Zhi chose Yang Xiu to be in charge of this matter was because Yang Xiu was more famous among the celebrities. Although Cao Zhi himself was more famous than him, in order to avoid suspicion, Cao Zhi could not personally do this matter. Therefore, the best way was to let Yang Xiu do it.
There was no doubt that if one was famous among the celebrities, their appeal to scholars would be stronger. Just like Sima Hui, Kong Rong, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, and the others, each of them was a great scholar who could gather a large number of scholars. Although Yang Xiu could not compare to these people, he was still quite famous. After all, Mi Heng's evaluation of " the eldest son Kong Wenju, the youngest son Yang Dezu " was still there, so when Yang Xiu appeared, it quickly attracted a large group of scholars.
Cao Zhi used these scholars to teach the refugees how to read.
