Xi Yu also directly manages the guards. The guard is Dianwei, who is in charge of a guard team.

Following the three official positions, there are several major categories in the diagram.

Scholars, agriculture, industry, business, medicine.

However, in today's schools, these academics are not prioritized.

For the Shang category, Xi Yu directly arranged for Mi Fang to be a single instructor because Xi Yu did not want him to lead the troops.

However, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others really don’t quite understand the meaning of Xiyu regarding this school-running strategy.

"If the master of drama makes such distinctions, this Confucianism..."

"Yes, will those Confucian nobles make irresponsible remarks??"

"I don't know if there are any other poor scholars who will accept this arrangement, haha, but this move should be deeply loved by the common people, especially the peasant class. Farming is actually a kind of knowledge."

Xi Yu took a closer look and found that a relatively complete management system had been formed.

Xi Yu then said to several people, "Now in Xuzhou, according to the lists reported by various places, there are hundreds of thousands of children alone."

"I believe that in troubled times, we should attach great importance to classics and to promote Confucianism in prosperous times. In today's world, Confucianism alone is not enough. Instead, we should take Confucianism as the foundation, other academics as supplements, and emphasize the study of Dharma and Mohism. This is the correct way."

After Xi Yu finished speaking, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others nodded in praise.

Before this, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang had never had such an idea. Even other people who practiced Confucianism had always regarded Confucianism as the foundation of learning.

Confucianism has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Xi Yu is willing to have an in-depth discussion with the three of them on how to run a school because of his own considerations.

First, Guo Jia had a close relationship with him; second, although Zhuge Liang was born as a commoner, he was knowledgeable and well aware of the beauty of other academics.

Third, Jia Xu has no intention of respecting Confucianism.

Xi Yu's change in the way he runs schools is expected to cause huge repercussions throughout Xuzhou and even the Central Plains.

There is no doubt that he will become the first deviant to challenge the status of Confucianism.

Xi Yu was very satisfied and said, "After sorting out the strategies for running the school, we will post a notice tomorrow and give a copy to Xuchang at the same time."

Use heavy codes in troubled times, and promote Confucianism in prosperous times.

Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu were deeply impressed by such a bold thing.

Although the three of them are not very optimistic about this matter, they are naturally willing to implement Xi Yu's decision.

If you want to completely change Xuzhou, you have to look at the effect of the new law.

A hundred flowers bloom...

Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and seemed to see an extremely prosperous future.

As for why Xi Yu chose to challenge Confucianism at this time, he naturally thought carefully and left a way out.

Today, the poor scholars and common people in Xuzhou have long been subdued by him.

From now on, the road left for these scholars will only become narrower and narrower.

If we follow the general trend and accept the policy of "letting a hundred flowers bloom", we will only be able to farm and become farmers.

Moreover, there is another important reason why Xi Yu chose this time to challenge Confucianism and implement his own school-running strategy.

At this time, it was the eve of the Battle of Guandu. Sun Ce occupied the lands east of the Yangtze River, and Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, Yanzhou and northern Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu captured Youzhou.

Places such as Chang'an and Xiliang have ceased war, and the land of Xichuan has not changed. The major princes are tacitly carrying out a truce to rest.

In the past three years, both sides have been preparing more troops and supplies, which will lead to a relatively peaceful and stable situation.

Only this relatively stable period is more suitable for implementing things such as running schools.

However, for Xi Yu, pretending to be a Confucian scholar during this period is indeed very hard.

……

"Why is this like this?! Chen Deng, is this really the admission you are talking about!?"

"Hmph, I, Wang Yi, will never enter an official position like this. It is extremely absurd! How can such despicable things as engineering, agriculture and commerce dare to be compared with the teachings of sages!"

"This is nonsense!"

"Yes, it's absolutely ridiculous! It's hard to imagine why Mr. Xi is so absurd and confused!"

"How can people from common people study Confucianism secretly? If it is true as the notice says, carpenters and stonemasons become officials in the same dynasty as Confucian scholars like us, this is simply a great shame and humiliation!"

"That's right, it's simply ridiculous. I, Wang Long, will never approve of this kind of thing! Let's go!"

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Xi's school-running policy was so ridiculous. If I had known it, I wouldn't have come here. He even made me spend money to entertain Chen Deng. It's really annoying!!"

"I'm afraid the Chen family and his son have known about this for a long time, but they didn't tell us. I'm afraid they have already become the hawks and dogs of Yu Yu!"

Hearing such abuse and slander from a group of gentry and Confucian scholars, Chen Deng was so frightened that he vomited blood.

I thought I would finally have the opportunity to become an official again, but I didn’t expect that it turned out to be such a ridiculous strategy for running a school!

Even if you enter a school to teach, what’s the use?!

"Yuanlong, what do you think we should do now?"

A Confucian scholar asked Chen Deng.

This man was about the same age as Chen Deng, and he had the same idea as other Confucian scholars: if he really wanted to teach in this school, he would be ridiculed by other Confucian scholars of the gentry.

From now on, I am afraid it will be difficult to stand up among the Xuzhou gentry.

"How do I know what to do?"

At this time, Chen Deng was also extremely shocked. He really didn't expect that Xi Yu would dare to be so deviant and dare to be the first.

At the same time, Chen Deng was very conflicted at the moment. Entering the school through recruitment was indeed a good opportunity.

Not only can he maintain his status as a scholar, but he can also become an official in the future.

But if he just gives up, I really don’t know what the result will be.

When Chen Deng was still hesitating, his father Chen Gui stepped forward and glared at the notice with disgust. He sneered and said to Chen Deng, "Yuanlong, there is no need to hesitate. We would rather not do this as a teacher."

, I would like to see how this school can continue to operate without Confucianism!"

Looking at other members of the scholar class, Chen Gui was very opposed to Xiyu's strategy of running a school.

For a time, all the gentry who came with the hope of becoming an official, including those from poor families, hesitated.

However, other people, such as carpenters, stonemasons, and blacksmiths, knew that they would have the opportunity to become officials, and they all seemed extremely happy.

Soon, the fact that Xiyu opened a school was regarded as a joke and spread throughout Xiapi City.

Not long after, the matter spread to other states and counties.

Yanzhou,Xuchang.

In the Prime Minister's Palace, Cao Cao was shocked when he learned of this, "How dare Feng Yi act so boldly?"

Cao Cao touched his chin, his beard was pulled into a ball, and his face was full of thinking.

Xi Zhicai on the side was really unbearable and said loudly, "This matter must not be left to Fengyi's nonsense!"

"Although Fengyi has just learned a lot, once this matter sets a precedent, it will easily touch the interests of the nobles. Once the nobles get into trouble, big trouble is likely to happen!"

"My lord, you and I are both Confucian scholars. Previously, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had dismissed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism! If it really revitalizes other academic disciplines, it would be fine!"

At this moment, Xi Zhicai just felt that he had to express his feelings.

"It's just that when did business become a learned thing!? This is what people of low status do, what kind of knowledge is it?! People who are engaged in business are careless and do not do business without treachery. What if such a person can also be an official?

Let the Xuzhou gentry be convinced!!"

"If this kind of school-running policy is forcibly implemented, I assert that Xuzhou will be in chaos, and it will be criticized by celebrities all over the world!"

"I hope my lord will think twice about such a dangerous thing!"
