Chapter 276 Defying Inheritance Cao Cao Loses His Father
"When did the need for normal schools begin at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?" Xie Xin smiled bitterly.
Originally, I thought that the income of teachers in this era was meager, which made many scholars disdain to be teachers. Only those who are too old to be officials will teach and educate people with the idea of continuing the unique knowledge of saints.
I was also thinking about my own pocket, so I introduced the concept of future student loans and miscellaneous fees. At the same time, in order to increase the student acquisition rate, I 'created' a residential system, which further increased the college's various incomes.
As a result, private schools or academies that were originally shunned by scholars soon became popular. Not to mention many literati and wise men, even some businessmen took the initiative to open academies to seek huge profits.
Obviously, God allows this situation.
Perhaps in his opinion, if there are too many academies, those in power will be greedy for the profits, and at the same time, he is worried that there are too many private academies and it will be difficult to continue to control the students' thoughts, so they will use violent means to suppress it and return everything to a situation that it can control.
Precisely because this is so easy to handle, Tiandao, in today's busy 'work' situation, does not have much time to pay attention to these 'side details' and concentrate on dealing with the changes in the power of the major princes.
Xie Xin also figured it out. Since Heaven had no time to take care of it, there was no need to be polite.
Although there is absolutely no shortage of teacher resources in one's own academy, one must consider the needs of other academies. If the shortage of resources reaches the limit, causing those mediocre people to teach the future flowers of the motherland, then as the founder of profitable academies, he
, I am afraid that I will also be scolded.
This matter is easy to do. With his current status and his relationship with Huang Zhong, the governor of Nanyang, it is not difficult to open a normal college. As long as a batch of students are trained and re-employed, it can be officially opened by then.
Already.
Of course, he didn't have to deal with such a simple matter personally. He only needed to tell Xiangxiang, and her assistant would quickly handle the matter for Xie Xin.
Seeing how sensible she was, Xie Xin couldn't help but wonder if he had mentioned the agenda of marrying her?
A human-male marriage sounds a little awkward...
Someone has been sent to deal with the main mission of the academy, so Xie Xin directly focused on the mission of cultivating immortals.
In the past, the system's tasks seemed to be dead. So after thawing, as long as you reach that level, you can directly complete those tasks and get a lot of rewards.
Different from before, after this unfreezing, the system seemed to have been upgraded again. After calculating Xie Xin's current strength and level, as well as the confrontation between Xie Xin and Tiandao, the new tasks for this round were given.
The above content is all from Ruth’s explanation.
"In other words, is this implying that I might die, so I need to find a successor in advance?" Xie Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing Ruth's explanation.
No matter what, he still ordered his servants to call Lou Gui.
"Disciple has met the head master!" Lou Gui entered Xie Xin's room and bowed respectfully.
"Well, sit down!" Xie Xin smiled faintly and motioned for him to sit down.
Feeling anxious, Lou Gui carefully sat next to Xie Xin.
But Xie Xin did not speak immediately, but drank tea leisurely.
Ten minutes later, Xie Xin saw that there was no trace of impatience on Lou Gui's face, only calmness and respect, and then he began to speak: "Speaking of which, you have been with me for about twenty years?"
"It has been twenty-three years since I became a disciple of Master!" Lou Gui replied respectfully.
"I am busy teaching and cultivating every day, but I haven't enjoyed the fireworks in the world. Do you regret it?" Xie Xin continued to ask.
"I have never regretted my choice of this path! Moreover, in the past twenty-three years, my life has been very fulfilling and very happy!" Lou Gui replied with a smile.
"Then if I want to take back your cultivation, what will you do?" Xie Xin said coldly.
"Everything I have as a disciple is given by my master. I naturally have no objection to what my master wants." Although Lou Gui hesitated for a while, he gritted his teeth and said to Xie Xin.
"It's interesting..." Xie Xin smiled.
When Lou Gui was still confused, Xie Xin continued to say to him: "How is your cultivation now?"
"This disciple has reached the third level of Nascent Soul stage..." Lou Gui lowered his head after saying this.
As a disciple of the same generation, Yan Xiong can still be regarded as his junior disciple, but he is already at the peak of the Yuanying stage, and as the leader of the sect, he has exhausted all resources to reach the third level of the Yuanying stage, so he cannot help but feel depressed.
"We have already reached the Nascent Soul stage... It would be too wasteful to directly destroy our cultivation..." Xie Xin muttered.
When Xie Xin said that, Lou Gui couldn't help but feel depressed. He secretly thought in his heart that the leader really planned to destroy his cultivation? If so, what was the reason?!
"Finally, I want to ask you, if I wanted to destroy your cultivation, would you do it?!" Xie Xin asked seriously.
"Master has an order, and no disciple dares to disobey it! But..." Lou Gui said through gritted teeth.
"But what?" Xie Xin asked curiously.
"Disciple is unwilling to give in!" Lou Gui finally squeezed out these words.
"Hey, you have a temper?" Xie Xin teased.
"Disciple doesn't dare. It's just that I have been practicing for twenty winters and summers. How can I be willing to do it once my skills are gone?" Lou Gui probably also broke the jar and immediately became a lot more stubborn.
"Haha, forget it, I won't tease you anymore!" Xie Xin smiled and directly took out a secret book to him.
"This is it!" Lou Gui's eyes widened when he saw the words on the cover of the cheat book.
"Congratulations, besides me, you are the first disciple in our sect to practice this **! Again, you have to give up all your skills, are you willing?!" Xie Xin asked at the end.
"Disciple is willing!" Lou Gui was excited.
What does the "Heaven-Defying Kung Fu" mean to the Xiaoyao Sect? Xie Xin is the only one practicing it in the entire Xiaoyao Sect. In other words, if one can practice this skill, it is a direct symbol of the successor to his mantle.
For a long time, many people wanted to practice this practice, but they were not given any letters of thanks. From their beloved wives to their loyal subordinates, they were not allowed to practice.
It is precisely because of this that the value of this book "The Art of Defying Heaven" has increased with the tide, and it has become a sacred object of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Of course, everyone also understands that this Xie Xin is still in the exploratory stage, and if it fails, it will be completely destroyed. It is precisely because practicing this skill is very risky, so Xie Xin will not allow others to practice this skill at will.
But the title of Successor of the Mantle means not only a symbol of strength, but also a symbol of recognition by Xie Xin. For the disciples, this is definitely the highest achievement. Especially after Xie Xin became the leader of the Chinese Cultivation World,
This achievement becomes even more valuable.
And now, Lou Gui has obtained this secret book, and it seems that he thanks Xin for allowing him to practice.
"Well, let me explain this skill to you a little bit..." Xie Xin smiled and began to explain to him the meaning and precautions of this skill.
"Sure enough, this is a feat that defies heaven!" After listening to Xie Xin's explanation, Lou Gui couldn't help but be amazed.
"So, I will give you three days to think carefully and make preparations. After three days, I will protect you and help you successfully pass the heaven-defying test!" Xie Xin said solemnly.
"Disciples don't need three days, they are always ready to accept the test!" Lou Gui said firmly.
"Tch, give me three days to play and I'll die!" Xie Xin kicked him directly.
"Let this disciple go back and think about it for three days..." Lou Gui smiled and left Xie Xin's bedroom as fast as he could.
"Really, I used to be quite smart, but how come I have become so oblivious at this time?" Xie Xin looked at his back and couldn't help but shook his head.
Three days later, Lou Gui came to Xie Xin's room again.
Under the envious eyes of all his disciples, and under the protection of Xie Xin, Lou Gui began to practice the "Heaven-Defying Kung Fu".
At the same time, Cao Cao, who was far away in Yanzhou, used a trick to swallow up Puyang, which was regarded as using an alternative method to complete the historical process. Liu Dai of Puyang fled to Yangzhou and went to join his younger brother Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou.
There are no legendary Qingzhou soldiers, but Cao Cao got 20,000 Puyang soldiers, which can be regarded as a great increase in strength.
Seeing that he had become the de facto shepherd of Yanzhou, he thought it was time to bring his family over.
So, he sent people to the Cao family's residence in Xuzhou to bring his old father Cao Song to Yanzhou to enjoy his blessings.
After Cao Song retired, he originally lived in Qiao County, Peiguo, but after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, in order to avoid disaster, he took his family property and hid in Huayin County, Mount Tai.
At this time, Huayin County was under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, and Cao Song was also considered a big shot, so he often communicated with Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, which was considered an exchange between two elderly people.
When Cao Cao's envoy brought the news to him, he happened to be a guest at Tao Qian's house, and Tao Qian knew about it.
To show his friendship to Cao Song, Tao Qian ordered people to escort Cao Song back to his hometown. However, at this time, Cao Bao and other senior generals were not available, so he sent general Zhang Kai to escort him.
This general, Zhang Kai, was a general of the Yellow Turban Army. Because the Yellow Turban Uprising failed, he took refuge with Tao Qian. Because he still had some combat effectiveness and had some experience in commanding troops, he became a general under Cao Bao.
Of course, because of his Yellow Turban background, he had a very bad time in Xuzhou.
It is said that when people are at their darkest psychological state, they will do some illegal and criminal things.
Finally, Zhang Kai was escorting Cao Song back to Yanzhou. A servant of the Cao family 'accidentally' knocked over a box while performing a ceremony. The box was opened and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry fell out.
One box may not be much, but there are more than ten boxes on that carriage, not to mention the boxes on other carriages.
There is also a saying that says, "Don't show off your wealth." Zhang Kai, who originally had a bad life in Xuzhou, naturally became confused when he saw so much money.
At the same time, he is not stupid, and knows that this is a time of trouble, and that formal military personnel have a place to use their skills. But he is an isolated and helpless subordinate, and he will naturally be used as cannon fodder whenever there is a war.
Rather than being cannon fodder for others, it would be more cost-effective to take the money and become a rich man.
When all these thoughts were gathered together, Zhang Kai immediately exploded.
Just as written in history, Zhang Kai killed Cao Song, robbed all the treasures and left.
But when Boss Cao heard about his father's death, he immediately became furious. He didn't care about occupying Runan. He directly sent troops to Xuzhou in the name of avenging his father!
