Chapter 140: Treacherous Lao Cao, a ruthless exploiter
The reconstruction of Taixue is a major event. There are too many new things established by Cao Cao and Lu Yan. Taichang, who is responsible for managing Taixue, needs someone who is highly ideologically consistent with them.
After various eliminations and screenings, Cao Cao and Lu Yan decided that the most suitable person was Yang Biao.
After Yang Biao was swayed (hu) by Lu Yan's words, he resigned from the emperor's official position and no longer bothered to take care of any affairs of the government.
Nowadays, Yang Biao is busy every day with a series of humanistic knowledge-related things such as book compilation, knowledge promotion, newspaper review, etc. His life is full and satisfying.
Yang Biao now only wants to spread the things passed down by his ancestors to every corner of the Han Dynasty. He can no longer care about other things.
The emergence of new paper makes it easier to carry and preserve knowledge.
"To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, and to create peace for all generations" Yang Biao thought he could not do these three things, but "carrying on the unique knowledge for the past saints" was something that Yang Biao could really touch.
Since the old man set a new goal, he seems to have regained his second youth. Not only is he in good spirits, his waist is no longer sore, his legs are no longer painful, and he can even toss at night.
He gets up before dawn every day. First he has to go to the library for inspection; then he goes to the printing department of the workshop; and finally he goes to the editorial department of the newspaper... This happens every day, rain or shine.
Today, Yang Biao also came to the library before dawn and started today's inspection.
Because both paper and bamboo slips are flammable materials, and the library in Chenliu County contains the most complete and largest collection of books in the entire Han Dynasty, in Yang Biao's heart, there is absolutely no room for any mistakes here.
Yang Biao walked slowly with his hands behind his back, carefully inspecting every corner.
Looking at the rows of crammed bookshelves, the satisfaction in his heart at this moment could no longer be described in words.
Just when the inspection was about halfway through, someone suddenly came behind Yang Biao and said softly: "Mr. Yang, Prime Minister Cao invites you to the Hussar General's Mansion, saying that he has something important to discuss with you!"
"Cao Cao?" Yang Biao's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the recent uproar over the reconstruction of Imperial College, so he nodded in response: "I will go over after inspecting the library."
"It's... I'm going to excuse myself."
Regardless of Cao Mengde’s big business, these little cuties are the most precious!
After the servant who delivered the message left, Yang Biao carefully inspected all the conditions in the library step by step, and then he set off and hurried towards the Hussars General's Mansion.
When Yang Biao arrived, Lu Yan, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Yang Biao coming, Lu Yan stood up to greet him and said, "Mr. Yang, please sit down!"
Yang Biao shook his head and said with a smile: "I no longer have an official position, how dare I stand before Xun Shangshu and Lu Qiaoqi?"
Cao Cao chuckled and said: "Mr. Yang, in terms of seniority and seniority, you can even sit on my throne!"
How could Yang Biao really dare to sit in Cao Cao's position?
He bowed his hands and saluted Cao Cao and said: "Prime Minister, you are joking...I am not ignorant and crazy. The Han Dynasty can still survive today, just because of the support of loyal ministers like Prime Minister, Lu Qiaoqi and Xun Shangshu!"
Yang Biao spoke from his heart, which is why Cao Cao, Lu Yan, and Xun Yu valued Yang Biao.
Smart, aware of current affairs, but also frank and honest that many people don't have.
Lu Yan stepped forward, pulled Yang Biao and pushed him to the first position under Cao Cao, and said: "We are discussing to let you, Mr. Yang, serve as the Taichang. Our new Taixue and government-run colleges need your high morals and respect.
, people who are dedicated to enlightenment come to sit here!"
"Compared to me, Kong Wenju's status in the hearts of literati is higher, and he is more devoted to the prime minister, right?" Yang Biao was still hesitant, and he asked his doubts.
"Kong Shaofu is a famous Confucian of his generation. It may be more than enough to serve as the Taixue Taixuan in the past." Lu Yan opened his mouth and explained for Yang Biao: "But the Taixue we rebuilt will not only teach practical studies in addition to Confucian classics, if Kong Shaofu
If the government is too permanent, I'm worried that many new things will be difficult to implement."
Yang Biao thought for a moment and understood what Lu Yan meant, "Do you want to compile the knowledge applied in the workshop into a book and then spread it to professors?"
"You have also seen the changes brought about by the workshop, and I can guarantee that the potential of the workshop is far more than what you see in front of you." Lu Yan's words were very serious, and even Xun Yu couldn't help but start to think again.
The meaning of the workshop.
"As productivity increases, more people can be liberated. When people have time, they can do more things, such as reading, working, researching and inventing."
Yang Biao was silent for a moment, and finally agreed: "Since it is to allow more people to study, then there is no harm in me doing this too often."
"Very good!"
"But I have a request!"
"Just ask!"
"I have a son named Yang Xiu. Although he has some talents, he has developed the bad habit of relying on his talents and being arrogant..."
Lu Yan instinctively felt bad and was about to refuse, but the cunning and cunning Yang Biao spoke first: "I hope to let him practice with Lu Hussar. It would be better if he can wear away his arrogance!"
"Very good! Mr. Lu's ability to recognize people and educate them is unparalleled!
Cao's son, Cao Ang, used to have a strange problem of arrogance. But after spending some time with Mr. Lu, he became sensible and well-behaved, and even took the initiative to care for others!
So Taichang, if you give your son to Mr. Lu, you can rest assured!" Boss Cao suddenly began to promote Lu Yan hard.
Lu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth and complained in his heart: "You promised, then you will take it!"
Without waiting for Lu Yan to reply, Yang Biao nodded and said, "I have heard about this a long time ago.
The products produced by Lu Yan must be top quality! Whether it is Ang Gongzi, Xi Jijiu, Guo Jijiu or the group of generals who are good at conquering and fighting.
As long as they have trained under the rider Lu Piao, now they are all talents in their own right!"
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Yang...are you guys exaggerating a bit?" Lu Yan murmured.
At this time, Xun Yu, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "Chang Sheng, your ability is obvious to all. I even think that you can go to Taixue to be a doctor in a certain subject. Your ability to cultivate talents cannot be wasted.
"
"Wen Ruo, have I not offended you?" Lu Yan asked with a downcast face.
"Why do you say this?" Xun Yu asked knowingly.
"I work so much in a day, and you still want me to teach? I can't let anyone get through this day!"
"Yeah, you skip work every day, drink, listen to music, and go to the workshop. There are really too many things to do!"
"Um..." Lu Yan looked at Yang Biao and Cao Cao's slightly unfriendly eyes, and finally said with a chuckle: "Teach as you please. Anyway, we have agreed first that I will only teach mathematics or engineering (engineering here refers to the research of applied technology).
and technical disciplines).”
When Lao Cao saw Lu Yan relenting, he immediately made the decision: "It's agreed! Then Mr. Lu, you will become a Ph.D. in mathematics and engineering!"
Taixue can be regarded as our current top university. A school must have teachers and students.
In the Imperial Academy of the Han Dynasty, the "doctor" was the teacher who taught students knowledge, and the students were called "doctor's disciples".
Lu Yan felt that there was something wrong with what Cao Cao said, and he confirmed again: "One can dig out rice four times? What I just said seems to be teaching mathematics or engineering, right?" Lu Yan specially emphasized the word "or".
"That's right, I appointed you as a Ph.D. professor of mathematics and engineering." Lao Cao emphasized the word "harmony" very strongly, but judging from his appearance, there was no room for compromise.
