The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 227
"The strength of a country is inseparable from the overall ability of the people. If everyone can read poetry and books, the chances of talented people will be higher. At that time, not only the children of the noble family will be able to study, but even the children of poor families will be able to read. , common people can read books, and the common sense is increasing, so can a country like this not be prosperous and powerful?" Li Yuan spoke of the great ambitions in his heart, and his vision has risen to the national level.

"It turns out that General Li is not only good at fighting, but also good at political affairs. I never thought about what you said." Sima Hui looked at Li Yuan with admiration, and Li Yuan's words opened the door to a new world for him.

"I don't know if Mr. Sima has heard a saying that books are the ladder of our progress. We must not only carry forward the culture handed down from our ancestors, but also keep improving, so that we Han people can always be strong and not be bullied by foreigners. To achieve this step, we must first popularize culture to every common people.” Li Yuan wanted to move the modern education system to ancient times.

"But did General Li ever think that doing so would offend the gentry in the world? The power of the gentry should not be underestimated. Does General Li want to be an enemy of the gentry in the world?" Sima Hui was an old man, and he could see the shortcomings of this strategy at a glance.

"That's right, even if you offend the gentry, you don't hesitate to do it. Reform is not a matter of a day or two. It takes ten years, 20 years, or even four or fifty years. There is no change without sacrifice. In order to make the Han people stronger, I have to do this Do."

"General Li is really courageous." Sima Hui showed appreciation.

"Mr. Sima, I think you should have seen the development and progress of Yuzhou. Not only do people no longer have to worry about food, but everyone has a job to do, whether it is vigorously developing agriculture, promoting eating pork, or establishing Baicaotang for Treating the common people, or building houses for the common people to live in, everything I do is to improve the living standards of the people in the world. After the material needs are met, the cultural level needs to be improved. Every step I do is planned Yes, this time I need Mr. Sima to help." Li Yuan said sincerely.

Sima Hui couldn't understand some of Li Yuan's words, but he had seen the development of Yuzhou in recent years, and realized that what Li Yuan did was not just for the sake of hegemony, but for the sake of the people of the world. It is a fact that Yuzhou is stable and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It also proves that what Li Yuan is saying now is not just talking, but really thinking about the people of the world.

Seeing Sima Hui moved, Li Yuan continued to persuade,

"Now Mr. Sima can only teach dozens of people in Yingchuan. However, there are so many people in the world. No matter how capable you are, it is impossible to teach tens of thousands of students. But it will be different when you come to Xiapi. Come to Xiapi Not only do I fully support you in teaching, but I can also call on more poor students to study. When they succeed in their studies, they will inherit your mantle, become officials, or pass on what they have learned to others. In this way, scholars will become more and more talented. The more people there are, the level of the people will continue to improve, and Mr. Sima will surely be famous all over the world, and his name will go down in history."

Hearing the four words "famous in history", Sima Hui was finally tempted. There is nothing more important to the ancients, and said: "In this case, I will go to Xiapi with General Li, but how many people do I have?" I ask General Li to agree to this request."

"Mr. Sima just say it."

"First, I will not serve under General Li, nor will I advise General Li, please understand." Sima Hui's only worry was that Li Yuan would force him to serve.

"That's natural. I, Li Yuan, will never force Mr. Sima to do anything. You are only responsible for teaching in Xiapi."

Li Yuan knew that Sima Hui was a noble person and had never been an official in his life, so he didn't plan to let Sima Hui become an official. The twisted melon was not sweet, and he was satisfied with letting Sima Hui come to Xiapi as a teacher. Cai Yong's name, one represents the poor family, and the other represents the noble family. Young people from all over the world will flock to Xiapi to learn from these two people. These people will also become talents under Li Yuan's command in the future.

"Secondly, General Li, the disciple I taught, can't force them to serve. There are so many princes in the world, and they are free to choose who they want." Sima Hui is very smart, and he can see through Li Yuan's deeper intentions at a glance. will make this request.

"Well, that's fine," Li Yuan agreed to Sima Hui's request, "Your disciples are free to go where they want after they succeed in their studies, and I, Li Yuan, will never force them."

Sima Hui didn't expect Li Yuan to agree so easily, so he couldn't help being a little surprised, thinking that Li Yuan's character should not break his word, so he didn't worry too much, and continued: "The third point, the disciples I teach are not from poor families and As for the distinction of the gentry, as long as anyone is willing to learn, I am willing to teach."

"It's not a big problem. As long as you enter the school, there is no distinction between high and low status. Everyone is equal."

"Thank you General Li, I'll go and talk to my disciples now." Sima Hui cupped his fists at Li Yuan.

"I just want to thank Mr. Sima." Li Yuan was very happy in his heart. After his sincere persuasion, Sima Hui was finally willing to go to Xiapi, and it went smoother than he imagined.

Sima Hui took Li Yuan to meet his disciples. When he walked into the academy, he saw dozens of people buried in their books. When they saw Sima Hui and Li Yuan walking in, they all looked up at the same time. Almost everyone's eyes were on Li Yuan. Even if they don't need to introduce them, they have already guessed that Li Yuan is next to Sima Hui.

"Disciples, I have something important to announce today." Sima Hui said to his disciples.

"Master, what is it?" Everyone looked at Sima Hui curiously, and everyone could think that what they were going to talk about should be related to Li Yuan.

Xu Shu whispered beside Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, do you know what Master is going to say? Could it be that General Li came here to choose me to be an official?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile, "Probably not, we are all around 15 years old, we are not yet adults, and we don't even have the slightest reputation. How could General Li choose someone from among us?"

Although Zhuge Liang is still young, he is already very smart.

"What's that?" Xu Shu and Xu Shu looked at Li Yuan curiously.

"Yuan Zhi, don't worry, Master is going to talk about it." Zhuge Liang sat there calmly, as if nothing could attract him.

"General Li is in Yuzhou and Xuzhou Guangjian Academy. He invited me to teach in Xiapi. I will pack up and go with him in these two days. Do you want to go with me? If so, come with me." Go to Xiapi, if you don't have one, you can leave separately." Sima Hui did not force his disciples to go to Xiapi with him, but left the choice to them.
