After coming out of the government office, Xi Yu felt exhausted, and somehow he had arrived at Tiangongyuan.

At this moment, the flowers at home are not as fragrant as wild flowers, and Mrs. Zou makes him happy both physically and mentally...

The next day, a notice was posted near every gate of Xiapi City. At the same time, brothers Xu Jing and Xu Shao used their connections to quickly spread the content of the notice. Soon, the content of the notice spread throughout Xuzhou, causing a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys.

.

An unprecedented act of learning from a teacher!

All children of soldiers who died on the battlefield can directly enter the school to learn all knowledge without paying any money.

Moreover, among these people, those who have achieved academic success can directly enter the Academy of Sciences and become officials.

Those who can make contributions to the Academy of Sciences can be directly promoted to the military camp or to local county magistrates.

As soon as such a decree was issued, within two days, the people of Xuzhou City, especially the people who came from Qingzhou, were all ecstatic.

For a time, all the families with children rushed to the school, and some people even went to the front camp and the supply camp to look for people who might be familiar with the Qingzhou soldiers, so as to have a better chance of entering the school.

Within a few days, there was a sea of ​​people outside the school, like a long queue.

Dian Wei was appointed by Xi Yu to manage the school's guards and has been guarding the door himself.

He already had a posthumous title at a young age and was very prestigious in the supply camp, so many people in Qingzhou went to seek help from Dian Wei.

Seeing so many people taking pictures at the entrance of the school, Dian Wei was very angry and couldn't help shouting at the crowd, "Don't make any noise, you all line up for me!"

"Wang Meng, why did you come to school? What do you want to do?"

Dian Wei suddenly noticed Wang Meng who was jumping in line among the crowd. This person was the deputy general of the transport camp. What surprised Dian Wei even more was that Wang Meng was from Changshan, so why did he come to the school to queue up?

When Wang Meng saw Dian Wei seeing him, he was very happy and quickly replied, "Dian Wei, what do you think I am doing here? Of course it is to enroll in school!!

"Dian Wei, have you forgotten who saved you in Wancheng?!"

Dian Wei's face darkened, "I..."

Dian Wei cursed secretly in his heart: Damn it, you mentioned this again in front of everyone!

But Dian Wei couldn't pull him down after all, so he had to say, "Hurry up and take the children in first!"

Seeing this, someone immediately scolded, "How dare you jump in line in public, our child is also an orphan, why should you go in first!"

"That's right, General Dian Wei, if you can't treat everyone equally, we'll go to Master Xi and talk to him!"

Dian Wei glared and said angrily, "You guys don't have to make any noise!"

"Without the desperate protection of the father of these children, I, Dian Wei, would have died in the battle long ago. If you are dissatisfied, just call me Dian Wei! Don't try to oppress me with your master!"

Hearing what Dian Wei said, everyone didn't know how to respond for a moment, "General Dian, this, this..."

Although they were unwilling to do so, they could only watch as Wang Meng jumped in line and brought a group of children into the school.

After coming to school, many children choose engineering studies.

Because there were not many Confucian teachers at this time, there were only two brothers, Xu Jing and Xu Shao. However, the reputation of these two people was so bad that these children really did not want to learn Confucianism from them.

The remaining children chose "Mathematics". Although they didn't know what they studied in "Mathematics", after all, it was taught by the opera master himself, so the children were willing to give it a try.

After a busy afternoon, all the orphans on the battlefield have entered the school, a total of 1,830 people.

According to Xi Yu's arrangement, Guo Jia was responsible for the school's food and accommodation. Each large room accommodated ten people, thus freeing up many courtyards for new students.

After a lot of busy work, the school built under the leadership of Xi Yu was opened.

Although the students in the school are very hopeful, the Confucian students outside the school are extremely angry.

"What a shame!"

Outside Chen Deng's house, there was a sea of ​​people, all of whom were gentry and Confucian scholars. Behind them, stood a group of sons of poor families. They knew that they were of low status and were afraid of being looked down upon by gentry and Confucian scholars, so they stood far aside.

"This is too much. This is simply humiliating us, the gentry and Confucian people!"

"These battlefield orphans, a group of humble people, the Opera Master actually allowed them to enter the school, and even allowed these people to enter the Academy of Sciences in the future!"

"That's right, Master Xi's plans for running schools and even official positions are really child's play!!"

"Master Xi's move is indeed extremely unreasonable. According to customary rules, a person with such a humble status must first be inspected by the village and then his filial and honest character can be inspected before he can become an official!!"

"No, we definitely don't agree with Mr. Xi's plans for running schools and even official positions!!"

……

A group of gentry and Confucian scholars blocked Chen Deng's door. They were all filled with indignation and very angry.

It seems that the only way to vent the anger in my heart is through constant yelling.

Because in their view, the opera master's current school-running strategy, comparing Confucianism to other late studies, is like treating them like beggars, and the design of official positions after graduation is like a meager amount of money given to them.

This made a group of Confucian scholars feel very ashamed.

However, the very angry person at this time was Chen Deng squatting at the door.

Seeing a group of nobles and Confucian scholars yelling and cursing casually, Chen Deng was very annoyed. He glanced at the long sword in his hand from time to time, but he thought it was a long sword!

A group of people who claimed to be well-educated in Confucianism actually gathered around his door and shouted abuses. How rude!

My Chen Deng family actually has a fence. If you are dissatisfied with Xi Yu, you can go to Xi Yu or even Cao Cao to make trouble. Why are you making trouble in front of my house!

Chen Deng could not wait to slash at these people with a long knife!

"In my opinion, it is better to go to Xuchang and complain to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Yes, if the Prime Minister doesn't care, we will go to the palace and complain to the Emperor!"

"What you said is true, and it makes sense. Someone must control Mr. Xi for his deviant behavior!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"You are right, we must not allow such things to continue, otherwise, where will the face of us literati be put?!"

Seeing that all the gentry and Confucian scholars wanted to leave, Chen Deng was about to breathe a sigh of relief when someone suddenly shouted at the door, "Gentlemen... Prime Minister..."

This man, dressed in ragged clothes, ran in with great strides. He was breathing heavily because he was too anxious, "Prime Minister... Your Majesty's legitimate son... Sili Colonel Cao Ang... is here in Xiapi!"

"Is this true?" Chen Deng said excitedly after hearing this.

"Really, Master Cao Ang is already in Xiapi!"

"Haha, great!!" Chen Deng said with a smile.

A group of gentry and Confucian scholars were also very excited when they heard this, "Young Master Cao has come at the right time. Let's go. We'll go quickly. Mr. Cao has a good life!"

"Yes, let's go to Mr. Cao to sue Mr. Xi. He must make Mr. Xi cancel the current policy of running a school!"

When they resigned, these people were so free and easy.

However, after a period of time, these poor scholars and the gentry class had to face the problem of money, rice, oil and salt. They had no way to earn money, and it was a problem to eat.

If this continues, they will have to borrow grain from low-status farmers for many days...

Although this move is very shameful, when it comes to the point where the pot cannot be opened, it is better to live than to starve to death.

There is also a group of nobles who are even more uncomfortable at the moment. Compared with some single people with five families, they have many wives and concubines, and they are almost at the end of their rope. They will not sell their wives for money to survive...

For the current plan, they urgently need to become officials, so when they heard that Cao Ang came to Xiapi, they were all overjoyed and rushed to Cao Ang's place.

"Hurry up, let's go together to visit Master Cao Ang. In my opinion, we should give him a good reception!"

"I have a close relationship with Mr. Cao's family. I think back then, I had the honor to meet Mr. Cao Song, Mr. Cao's grandfather. We were both familiar with the family. We are also considered to have a prominent position in Xuzhou. We must not be used by the Langya Zhuge family, and

The common man Mi Shi stepped on him!"

"This statement is very reasonable!! I also want to ask Mr. Cao Haosheng to tell me. I have studied hard for ten years, and I also have a strategy for governing Xuzhou!

But someone in the crowd suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, you are from a humble family and want to meet Mr. Cao to discuss governance strategies. You are simply bringing shame on yourself!!"

The man from a poor family retorted with a smile, "It's ridiculous to be pedantic! Doesn't he have any knowledge if he comes from a poor family? Haha, whether you have knowledge or not can be found out in a long interview!"

Seeing how excited everyone was, Chen Deng immediately entered the room, hung his sword on his waist, and said loudly, "Everyone, listen to me!"

"The sudden arrival of Mr. Cao means that Mr. Cao of Xuchang has learned about the establishment of a school in Xuzhou. We must seize this opportunity to advise Mr. Cao. We must not let Mr. Xi act recklessly and insult the way of Confucianism!"

"This statement is very reasonable. Let's go. When Mr. Yuanlong meets Mr. Cao, we must seek justice for us gentry and Confucian scholars!!"

"That's right, in my opinion, I have to ask Mr. Yuan Long to take the lead at this time!"

"I agree. Master Chen Gui will take the lead at this time, and we will meet with Mr. Cao to ask for an explanation!"

"It's very good at this time. Mr. Chen is our backbone! By the way, I remember that Mr. Yuanlong once had wine with the Prime Minister. He will definitely be able to speak in front of Mr. Cao!"

Chen Deng's heart sank, and he wanted to slap himself: "A bunch of old foxes, I'm just arrogant, just causing trouble for myself!

Only then did Chen Deng realize: Although these Confucian scholars are daily companions, they may seem to be unscrupulous, but they are actually shrewd and cunning in their hearts.

……

In desperation, Chen Deng had no choice but to take this group of gentry and Confucian scholars to where Cao Ang was.

At this moment, the area around the Yamen School is crowded with people and even more noisy.
