According to the original history, Cai Yong would only be transferred back to the capital a year later when Dong Zhuo took over.
Now, Chen Xiao had played a trick.
Get him back in advance.
Naturally, he had to reap the corresponding rewards.
He was confident that he could convince Cai Yong. As a great scholar, Cai Yong was upright and had the pride of a scholar. Unlike Liu Hong and Zhang Rang, he would not be bought over by money.
But it was still the same sentence.
Money depended on how it was used!
Directly smashing Cai Yong's face would naturally only have the opposite effect.
However, Chen Xiao first spent money to solve Cai Yong's crime, then bought his house back, and sent people to escort him along the way. This made Cai Yong owe him a favor unknowingly.
Thus, even if Cai Yong thought highly of himself and did not want to be involved with the merchant family, he would be too embarrassed to close his door.
Then, he would use the 3,000 bamboo scrolls as a gift for his apprenticeship.
Cai Yong, who loved books as much as his life, would most likely be knocked unconscious!
This was another way to use the money ability!
Mencius said, a gentleman can be deceived by the right way, this is the truth!
"This…"
At this moment, Cai Yong was a little dizzy, his eyes drifting as he said,""Chen Youzhou is indeed as generous as the rumors say. This old man has never heard of more than 3,000 books as a gift!”
At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
So Chen Xiao's goal was not her daughter.
He almost took Cao Mengde's joke seriously.
In fact, in terms of the number of books collected, there were few people in the world who could compare to him.
However, Cao Cao had just said that many of the bamboo slips that Chen Xiao had brought were the only ones left in the world!
There was even an ancient book like the Music Classic that had long been lost!
This was an unparalleled temptation to any scholar in the world!
As Cai Yong spoke, he realized that he didn't have the slightest thought of refusing Chen Xiao's request!
"There's no problem if you want to take me as your master.”
He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the urge to run out and read."But if you want me to be an official in Youzhou Province, I'm afraid…"
Therefore, even if Chen Xiao was the son-in-law of the Zhen family, he did not reject her.
After all, the Zhen family of Wuji was also a family that inherited 2,000 stones.
It was not an ordinary merchant family.
Of course, Chen Xiao's reputation of buying an official position with money had already spread. Cai Yong actually had some concerns, but these concerns were not worth mentioning in front of the 3,000 odd volumes of books outside the residence.
However, taking in students and becoming an official in Youzhou were two completely different things.
"Hehe, I'm sure you've heard from Cao Mengde that I'm going to build an academy in Youzhou, right?”
He wanted to bring Cai Yong to Youzhou as a banner to use his reputation to attract scholars from all over the world.
He did not want Cai Yong to be an official.
In fact, this kind of great scholar was only suitable for learning.
Cai Yong listened, and although he didn't want to agree, he was a little interested,""Who is the other person?"
"Zheng Xuan!"
Chen Xiao lightly spat out two words.
"How could Zheng Xuan agree to it?" Cai Yong was shocked.!”
To put it bluntly, in terms of reputation, Zheng Xuan was the number one scholar in the world.
It was known as the "Sect of the World"!
His disciples were all over the world!
According to what Cai Yong knew, ever since Liu Hong lifted the second ban, Zheng Xuan had returned to his hometown in Qingzhou and devoted himself to his studies. Even so, there were still many people who rushed to Qingzhou from all over the world to listen to him.
It was said that every time Zheng Xuan lectured, the number of people attending would often exceed a thousand.
How could such a person be invited by Chen Xiao?
One had to know that a few years ago, when Great General He Jin conscripted Zheng Xuan to be an official, Zheng Xuan had only come to the capital to show his face before escaping overnight!
Later on, Grand Commandant, Sikong, Situ, and even Grand Tutor Yuan Kui had tried to recruit Zheng Xuan, but they were all rejected!
Compared to these people, what was Chen Xiao?
A mere Overseer of Youzhou that he bought with money?
No!
It had only been a few days since this kid had spent money to buy an official position. In that case, when he went to invite Zheng Xuan, he was still a nobody!
What could he use to persuade Zheng Xuan?
"This is exactly what I wanted to tell Teacher!”
Chen Xiao's tone became slightly serious.""The world today is in chaos. Since the chaos of the Road of Peace, how many of the thirteen prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty have not rebelled? In the royal court, there is also the Great General and the eunuchs fighting for power. Sooner or later, the two sides will have to fight each other…"
These words struck Cai Yong's heart.
He was a victim of the chaos in the royal court, and in order to avoid disaster, he had stayed in Jiangnan for a full eleven years.
The people were in dire straits, bandits were everywhere, the people were in danger, and corrupt officials ran amok…He had seen all of this with his own eyes.
The signs of chaos had already appeared.
He had an intuitive feeling.
It was precisely because of this that he could not help but focus when he saw Chen Xiao's knowledge.
"In this chaotic world, we scholars should work hard to clean up the world and return the people a bright future!”
Chen Xiao very naturally gave herself the identity of a " scholar "."Teacher definitely has such ambitions, but for a great scholar like Teacher and a great scholar like Zheng Xuan, even if they become officials, what can they do in the court?”
"Teacher, it's not that I look down on you, but you're not suited for the Imperial Court!”
"I can't pacify the people either!"
When Chen Xiao said this, her tone was unusually impolite.""In comparison, you are good at studying. Just like Zheng Xuan, you should devote yourself to studying and passing on the classics of the sages. Teaching students and nurturing talents is the way of the king!”
Cai Yong was also ambitious.
His lips moved, and he subconsciously wanted to retort.
However, when he thought of his experiences over the years, his eyes dimmed and he was speechless.
He had to admit that although Chen Xiao's words were not pleasant to the ears.
It was the truth!
Even so, he was still a little indignant."Even if this old man can only be a scholar and cultivate talents, I have taught many students in Jiangnan over the years, and there are many talents among them. Why would I follow you to Youzhou? Youzhou was a remote place, and the study style was not flourishing. How many scholars were there?”
This was true. There was no lack of talents among his students.
The most famous one among them should be Gu Yong.
However, he never dreamed that his students were also part of Chen Xiao's scheme.
"Youzhou was not prosperous in the past.”
Chen Xiao's gaze was burning, and her words were sonorous."" The Youzhou Academy that I plan to establish isn't a replica of Imperial College. I want to set up academies in every prefecture and county of Youzhou to recruit students regardless of their background. For students with potential, the government will even provide bursaries to ensure that they complete their studies!”
"Students can enter the county-level academy first. Those with excellent results can enter the county-level academy after passing the assessment!”
"After such a selection, talents from all over the world will be gathered in the academy!”
"With my support, the financial support of House Zhen, and so many classic books, I am confident that all those who are interested in studying will flock to me!”
"Within ten years, Youzhou Academy will surpass Imperial College and become the holy land in the hearts of all the students in the world!”
After referring to the education system of the later generations, Chen Xiao revealed her plan and sighed deeply.""Teacher, what I really want to do is to promote education to the world and spread it to the common people!”
This was not the main point.
The real reason Chen Xiao did this was because it could provide him with an endless stream of talents.
Cai Yong didn't know about this.
But even so, he was still like a thunderclap that reverberated in his ears!
" Spread education to the world..."
" Spread to the common people's homes…"
" This is a great undertaking that even Sage Kong failed to accomplish…"
He was completely stunned and looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief. He never expected to hear such an earth-shattering plan from this new student.
When Chen Xiao saw this, she knew that he had already loosened up.
He couldn't help but smile and add fuel to the fire,"" To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the sacred arts of the past, to create peace for all generations..."
" Teacher, Youzhou Academy is the highest academy. All the professors of the county academies have to be selected from the academy, and the Chancellor of the academy is the teacher of these people..."
"At that time, all the students in the world will be under your tutelage. How magnificent will that be?!”
Boom!
Cai Yong's soul trembled from the last sentence!
All the students in the world came from the sect!
Which scholar could resist such a temptation?!
