Rebuilding Taixue.
As soon as these four words came out of Cao Cao's mouth, the remaining civil servants in the hall instantly understood what Cao Cao wanted to do.
Cao Cao is preparing to train scribes and capable people who can handle government affairs in order to resist their restrictions. This is Cao Cao's counterattack. However, the most important thing in rebuilding the Imperial Academy is not whether Liu Xie's consent can be obtained, but books, knowledge, etc. foundation.
Books are extremely precious things in this day and age.
If Cao Cao didn't even have enough books to impart knowledge, then his Imperial College would be basically useless.
The place with the most books in the world is undoubtedly their aristocratic family. Apart from their aristocratic family, no other group can be found. Regarding Cao Cao's resistance to rebuilding the Imperial Academy, the ministers present just laughed it off.
Fu Wan, Sima Fang, Kong Rong and others looked at each other, and they could see the disdain in each other's eyes for Cao Cao's reconstruction of the Imperial Academy.
With the Cao family's background, it would be difficult to collect so many books to rebuild Imperial College.
Even if Cao Cao could get a batch of books and make a large number of books based on these books, the cost would be very high and it would take a long time. It would be a long time before Cao Cao finished the books.
They are quite confident about these.
I don't object to Cao Cao's approach.
"Rebuilding the Imperial Academy?"
After hearing this, Liu Xie recited it twice, as if he could also think of Cao Cao's intentions, and said: "Cao Sikong can rebuild however he wants. I have no problem with it."
Cao Cao said loudly: "I accept the order, but I also want to ask Your Majesty to issue an imperial edict. This is more in line with the rules."
"Fine!"
Liu Xie agreed.
This gives Cao Cao an imperial edict and lets him do whatever he wants.
His current purpose is very simple, he just wants to survive and has no other thoughts.
After the Yidaizhao incident, he thought he was going to die, but he was lucky to be alive now.
I am very afraid that in the future, I will not be able to be lucky all the time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao solemnly said: "Tai Xue is the foundation of our Han culture. I will do my best to rebuild the Tai Xue in Luoyang. Your Majesty will not be disappointed!"
Speaking of Luoyang in the past, Liu Xie still missed it very much and always wanted to go back, but now that he is controlled by Cao Cao, going back can only be empty talk.
"I have nothing else to do."
Cao Cao said again.
Since Cao Cao is fine, Liu Xie has nothing else to do.
The court is all controlled by Cao Cao. Even if something happens, Cao Cao will discuss it privately with the people around him. It can be said that other ministers have no sense of existence.
This is how the court meeting came to an end.
Cao Cao received Liu Xie's imperial edict and gathered the people around him to prepare to rebuild Taixue. Xun Yu and other scribes naturally agreed with this and believed that Taixue should be rebuilt.
Taixue is a big man, the place with the highest knowledge.
If it were rebuilt, it would be of great significance to their scribes.
If you don't have the money to rebuild, the method is very simple. Just ask Chen Zhou to arrange for the gold captain and dig a few royal tombs.
Money is no longer an issue.
But as soon as the news of the reconstruction of Taixue spread, those aristocratic families began to resist openly and covertly, saying that Cao Cao would not even be able to find anyone to govern the country. Especially those scribes who took the initiative to become officials, the resistance became more intense.
Cao Cao did not panic at all, and asked Xun Yu to issue a talent-seeking order to recruit talented scribes and scholars from all over the world, regardless of origin or status, as long as they had ability, not to mention poor families, even refugees.
Once you pass his assessment, you can immediately serve in the court.
There are many vacant official positions in the court. Being an official is a change in many people's lives and even the entire family. As long as you become an official, your social status can be improved.
As soon as Cao Cao's order seeking talents came out, many people responded.
For example, those from poor families seek opportunities to get rid of their status as poor families and want to join the gentry. They are eager to change by becoming officials.
Those aristocratic families who resisted Cao Cao gritted their teeth with hatred when they saw the impact of the order to seek talents, but they were helpless.
——
While Cao Cao was preparing to rebuild Taixue, Chen Zhou continued to be in charge of paper making and printing.
He said that he can comprehensively solve the book problem. This is not bragging. As long as these two technologies can be perfected, Cao Cao's Imperial College will no longer lack any books.
In fact, the technology is not very difficult, and it is relatively easy to do it. However, you need to do these things well before the Battle of Guandu breaks out. When the battle breaks out, you will have to fight and there will be no time to care.
If the preliminary preparation work is done well, the war will happen. After the war, the rebuilt Imperial College will be almost complete and can be put into use smoothly, resisting the monopoly of officialdom and knowledge.
Chen Zhou left this to the people below to fiddle with for several days.
The weather is getting colder and colder now.
The progress was a little slow, but it was finally done. Cao Ang came to Chen's house and wanted to take Chen Zhou to have a look.
When arriving at the factory.
I saw Cao Tai and others, arranging workers to collect the dried paper, take it back for storage, and then cut it for printing books.
"gentlemen."
Cao Fu said first when he saw it.
They live a very comfortable life here. Not only can they learn a lot, they also have the opportunity to lead and train troops.
After returning, he was recognized by his father.
If you were willing to stay in the first place, that would be the wisest choice.
Comparing it to Xia Houheng and the others, they are completely different.
"how's it going?"
Chen Zhou asked as soon as he arrived.
"Sir, it's all done."
Cao Fu picked up a piece of paper and said: "We made several different types of paper according to Mr.'s plan, some are used for drawing, some are used for writing, and some are used for printing. This is for printing. Paper.”
Chen Zhou took the paper and weighed it in his hand for a while. It still looked rough on the surface, but it was thick enough to be used for printing. He praised, "Well done!"
"There is also progress on the printing side."
Cao Tai said: "We tried to print the first book. My husband's idea was really great. We bound a copy of "The University" with paper. It is very thin and light, much better than bamboo slips, and it is not difficult to hold it in your hand." .”
The most important thing is that as long as the layout of these books is done well, they can be printed and bound in batches, which can save a lot of trouble of copying by hand.
The emergence of these books will definitely bring down the value of all books in the world.
As soon as Cao Tai finished speaking, he handed a printed copy of "The University" to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou opened the pages and took a look. The binding was very good and the printed content was clear. There were no other problems for the time being.
"good!"
After Chen Zhou finished reading, he threw the books back and continued: "Printing a few more sets of all our books, and then send them back to the lord to see."
"yes!"
Cao Tai and Cao Fu nodded.
Cao Ang said: "Using Mr.'s technology, the printed books are enough for us to use in the reconstruction of the Imperial Academy. There are many people outside who laugh at my father's reconstruction of the Imperial Academy. In fact, it is just a waste of work. They suddenly feel very ridiculous."
In their cognition, without sufficient book support, the reconstruction of Taixue was indeed a waste of time.
"It's not just Taixue."
Chen Zhou said: "I also have an idea to build a library in Taixue that contains books from all over the world. There are all kinds of books, and people can come in and read them at any time."
This is the real way to break the family's monopoly on knowledge.
