Zhang Xiu decisively killed the entire Wu family.
Under the cold and tough methods, Nanyang's powerful nobles were immediately alert. They clearly realized that Zhang Xiu's scalp was very tough. At the same time, they also regretted that they did not see Zhang Xiu's city clearly and let his wings grow.
It was too late now. The Wu family in Yangcheng and the Chen family in Wuyin City had learned their lessons beforehand. They had to open the gates of their manors and let the people of the right age in the courtyards go to the school to study.
All of a sudden, a large number of school-age children emerged from the ground and went to Wancheng's schools to study. The faces of thousands of ordinary people's children were filled with excitement and excitement.
Zhang Xiu created an opportunity for them to learn and gave them hope of escaping from their hard-working fate.
The number of students in Wancheng instantly increased from 1,000 to 20,000, and this number is still growing and is expected to reach around 50,000.
In order to allow these students to enter the school immediately, Zhang Xiu urgently ordered the establishment of schools in Xinye City, Anzhong, and Yiyang, so that people nearby could enter the schools nearby, and at the same time, he recruited gentry children to teach in the schools.
Because professors are officials and can be used as a stepping stone to enter the officialdom, and all nobles were forced to accept the establishment of the school, many nobles entered the school to teach.
On the top of the city wall in Wancheng, Jia Xu and Deng Zhi looked at the young students filing in, and smiles appeared on their faces. Their school was successfully established.
In the future, they will no longer worry about talents or the army. The school will be the source of their talents and soldiers.
With Liu Biao's support of 50,000 shi of grain and grass, plus the annihilation of the Han family, Chen family, and Wu family, and the 200,000 shi of grain sent by Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu now had 600,000 shi of grain and grass in his hands.
What concept?
50,000 soldiers and horses plus 50,000 students, a total of 100,000 people, can be fed for a year and a half.
After all the property, land and population of the Wu family and Chen family were unified and clearly planned, the original slaves were allowed to farm. All these lands were taken over as public property and were no longer occupied by private individuals.
Moreover, a large number of books were searched from the two manor houses, which solved the school's urgent need.
The Wenshi School teaches classical literature, that is, things like the Four Books and Five Classics. The Military Knowledge School teaches the key points of the art of war, with Jia Xu and Xu Fu as teachers.
All students have to study in two schools, the literary school in the morning and the military school in the afternoon.
Under Zhang Xiu's strong suppression, everything went smoothly. Zhang Xiu forcibly ordered the generals in the military camp to attend classes in the school.
"Lord, I, Hu Che'er, am a big man. If you ask me to kill people and set fires, I won't blink an eye. But if you ask me to read those words that are no bigger than a fingernail, it will be more uncomfortable than killing me." Hu Che'er cried with a sad face. Tell Zhang Xiu deeply.
Zhang Xiu's eyes widened: "Okay, here we come, take Hu Qiying down and behead him."
Two people came in from the left and right, pulled Hu Che'er and walked out, as if they really wanted to kill him.
At this point, Hu Che'er knew that there was no hope for his crying scene. He pushed away the person who was pulling him: "I think my head is quite big. I can fit in a few words of Zhuan. My lord, you are busy. I I still have to study, otherwise the course will be delayed." As he said this, he had already put one foot outside the door and ran out.
Zhang Xiu laughed helplessly.
At this time, someone outside the door reported: "Lord, there is a young lady outside the house who has come to apply for a job."
Miss?
Coming from later generations, I was a little sensitive to the word 'miss'. At the same time, I was curious about which lady from a wealthy family came to apply for a teacher, so I said: "Let her come in."
Not long after, a girl wearing a green brocade robe walked in. After scanning her two smart eyes, she looked at Zhang Xiu with a light smile on her face.
The girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and slim, and has a good figure.
Zhang Xiu was lying on the sand table, studying the route of sending troops this time. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the girl who came in. Without taking a closer look, he lowered his head again: "I heard that you are here to apply for a school teacher?"
"What, General Zhang doesn't agree?" Huang Yueying frowned in displeasure when she saw that Zhang Xiu was being very rude to her.
"That's not true." Zhang Xiu looked in the direction of Lujiang and Wancheng, remembering that Xiao Qiao seemed to be in this city, and said absently: "It's just that the school does not recruit female professors. Besides, you are so young, why should you teach?" people?"
Huang Yueying immediately curled her lips in dissatisfaction. "Your general can become a prince at the age of twenty-two, why can't I, Huang Yueying, teach at the age of fifteen?"
The words 'Huang Yueying' made Zhang Xiu startled. He raised his head and looked at her. Her small body contained round and straight energy, her eyes were big and energetic, and her skin was as delicate and white as a perfect piece of mutton-fat jade. It has nothing to do with the word ugly.
It seems that Huang Chengyan said that his daughter looks like a girl because he is self-effacing or to test Zhuge Liang.
Zhang Xiu stared, causing a hot blush to appear on Huang Yueying's face.
Seeing the blush on her fair face, he immediately realized that it was not polite to stare at the girl like this. He looked away and coughed twice: "Well... this has nothing to do with age. The school does not recruit female professors for the time being, um... ...but there is something you might be able to help with."
Zhang Xiu remembered that Huang Yueying seemed to be a good inventor, and had invented many things, such as the Zhuge Liannu, the wooden cow and the flowing horse, the paper kite, etc. If I told her the process of making paper, could she make it?
Huang Yueying's eyes immediately lit up. "what's up?"
Zhang Xiu told her about papermaking, and also talked about the production and function of movable type printing.
She exclaimed: "If we could really study it, there would be scholars all over the world. Bamboo slips are as heavy as paper as light as cicadas. The general's contribution to the world is so great." As she said this, she looked in ecstasy with admiration.
Zhang Xiu asked her: "Are you sure?"
Huang Yueying nodded: "Yes! Even if it doesn't work, I will give it a try. I am already looking forward to the day when I succeed."
"Well, because of your congenital condition, I will arrange for you to be independently placed in the yard for your research."
"Okay, I will definitely live up to the general's high expectations." Huang Yueying said with a smile.
Zhang Xiu nodded: "You go back first, I'll let you go find you after I've made arrangements, um... also, it's not that I rejected the marriage because I don't like you, it's just that I simply don't like that kind of behavior. .”
Huang Yueying's face turned slightly red and she smiled mischievously. "Then the general means that he likes me again now?"
Zhang Xiu was stunned. He didn't expect that she would ask such an open question. After thinking for a while, Huang Yueying was about to speak. Huang Yueying smiled and ran out. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This girl is really a ghost." Weird."
Huang Yueying's talent has been recognized in history, which is enough to prove her intelligence. The production of paper may really become possible in her hands.
