Chapter 12 The Headmistress Cai Yan

In March 193, in Jingzhou, the first batch of government-led schools were built in more than ten places in Jingzhou, recruiting local children under the age of thirteen to study.

More than ten years ago, Zuo Xiaoyou had already promoted papermaking to all parts of the country. Now it has formed an industrial scale and is cheap, so even ordinary people can afford it.

The school implements five years of compulsory education, which means that there is no tuition fee for going to school, and there are very few books and miscellaneous fees, which ordinary families can fully afford. The most important thing is that the school is directly linked to the government.

As long as you complete five years of compulsory education, if you have a certain amount of talent, the government can arrange work for graduates. Although you may not be able to become an official, all kinds of civilian work are still very decent and have a considerable income.

In addition, there are various institutions that will also select qualified people to study, and the future is limitless.

Such a policy made the common people in Jingzhou very excited. When they learned that this was a policy jointly implemented by the governor and many educated local people, countless people had set up tablets of immortality for them at home. If they met these people on the street by chance, they would be even more excited to give them all the good things they could give. Although the other party would not accept it, it also represents the people's wishes.

The current schools in Jingzhou have been successfully implemented, and Zuo Xiaoyou has really done a lot of work, especially Yuan Shao. Because many families of aristocratic families have discovered that schools are breaking the disadvantages of their control of culture, the gentry in the world opposes Zuo Xiaoyou's large-scale opening of schools, and even opposes Zuo Xiaoyou's school that has five years of free education, which is really too bullying.

So countless memorials impeaching Zuo Xiaoyou were presented to Yuan Shao like snowflakes one by one. Yuan Shao frowned when he saw Zuo Xiaoyou do such a thing, but he also discovered the benefits for those in power.

As long as there are talents in the world, are you still worried that no one can use it?

It is true that Yuan Shao was born in a gentry, and he is also a representative figure of the gentry. However, because of his gentry, Yuan Shao understood better that the gentry was a double-edged sword for those in power. Everyone was happy if they used it well. If they were not used well, they would not be able to think about it once the gentry gave up, the emperor would not think about it.

If Yuan Shao had planned to be a powerful minister in his life, he would definitely oppose Zuo Xiaoyou doing such things, but now he has dreamed of an emperor. If he became an emperor in the future, he would definitely need a large number of talents to manage the world. By that time, it would be not enough to rely solely on the gentry, and once a scholar gave up, he would be finished.

Faced with the pressure from a bunch of gentry, Yuan Shao had to recall Zuo Xiaoyou back to Luoyang to ask questions.

Then after Zuo Xiaoyou met with Yuan Shao in private in Luoyang, he specifically told the school's benefits to those in power. Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly, but Yuan Shao's worries also needed Zuo Xiaoyou to solve them.

Faced with the pressure from the gentry, Zuo Xiaoyou used a method of mixing things.

The next day in the court, Zuo Xiaoyou faced the pressure of the gentry officials and said that there were many poor people in Jingzhou who were poor and bad. So why were there so many unruly people? Because the unruly people didn't know anything and only knew how to cause trouble, he opened a school to hope that these unruly children would learn etiquette and honor and disgrace, and tell them what to do and what not to do. Only in this way can the existence of unruly people be completely eliminated. But because he didn't know whether this could be eliminated, he used Jingzhou as a pilot. If it proves that this was done well, he would suggest that the emperor open the school all over the world.

After hearing Zuo Xiaoyou's serious nonsense in the court, the aristocratic officials couldn't bear to listen: "Stop talking! You are clearly talking nonsense!"

"I'm just talking nonsense?" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the gentry minions who stood up and sneered: "So, do you have a way to prevent unruly people from appearing in the world?"

"this……"

"Or, do you wish the world was full of troublemakers?"

"Hu...huh!"

"The corpse is a simple meal, but it is not skilled!" Zuo Xiaoyou angrily shouted: "Your Majesty, these corpse is a simple meal, and they are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, so they should kill them to warn others!"

The gentry minions were dumbfounded, and the gentry officials in the court were also dumbfounded. If you disagree, you will kill someone? The left and the right are so murderous! For a moment, the gentry officials seemed to see Dong Zhuo's shadow, and they were all silent.

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he saw Zuo Xiaoyou's domineering side, but he knew that everything Zuo Xiaoyou did was paving the way for him, so he mixed it up and announced: It's okay, Zuo Xiaoyou, go back to Jingzhou! Run the school well and don't come back.

After this show of power in the court, Zuo Xiaoyou finally kept the normal operation of Jingzhou School, but there were still some regrets that there were only boys and no girls in the school.

There was no way for the feudal dynasty to favor boys over girls. The Han Dynasty often suffered from cholera at home and abroad. It fought many wars and killed many men, resulting in only 70% of the men in the Han Dynasty. At present, the Han Dynasty had a population of 60 million, the number of men was only more than 20 million, but the number of women was more than 30 million. What should we do if the extra nearly 10 million women? Of course, we have to be concubines, maids and so on.

When going to school? Of course, the boys at home went to the school. The girls sewed and mended at home, worked and served people. Moreover, the culture of China is to prefer boys over girls, especially during the Western Han Dynasty, Ban Zhao wrote the "Women's Commandment", which immediately established the social status of men being superior to women and influenced later generations for two thousand years.

The Han Dynasty is not over yet, and Ban Zhao's influence still exists, so those who give birth to girls at home basically regard their daughter as a future exchange for money and life items. Since it is an item, it is enough to let you live, so how can you spend money to let them go to school?

Although Zuo Xiaoyou has no habit of favoring boys over girls, from the perspective of men, such a social system makes men more comfortable, so he will not deliberately promote equality between men and women.

Moreover, from ancient times to the present, the way males attract females is to rely on their own abilities. My male is stronger than another male, and the female will naturally follow me instead of that male.

On the other hand, it is actually the same. This female is better than another female, and the male will naturally take the initiative to attract such females. So in modern times, Zuo Xiaoyou often listens to some people lamenting that women worship money, or women lamenting that men have no good things. In fact, they are incompetent and have no charm, and cannot attract the opposite sex.

Instead of doing this, it is better to improve yourself more. Not to mention that you become the richest man or Lin Chi-ling, at least you must reach the level. At that time, are you still afraid that there will be no opposite sex to like it?

At that time, if you have friends of the opposite sex or get married, as long as you don’t do each other, you can basically ensure the stability of love or marriage. If you are afraid of doing it, everything will be over.

When Jingzhou was developing steadily, Yuan Shu was also destroyed by the coalition forces. However, Yuan Shu did not die, but was placed under house arrest by Yuan Shao. He lived in a big mansion, and wanted to eat, drink, and women to give women. However, he could not leave the mansion and was not allowed to visit anyone, so as to cut off Yuan Shu's ambitions.

This idea was given to Yuan Shao by Zuo Xiaoyou, and this is the best ending that a person like Yuan Shu can get.

How did Yuan Shu die in history? After all the end of the road, he couldn't even drink honey water, and was discouraged and vomited blood and died.

Yuan Shu in this world is at least still alive, and she is serving her delicious food and drinks. Her wife and children are also around her. She is not short of women. Apart from the restriction of freedom of movement, there is nothing to be picky about.

Yuan Shao also felt that this was good enough for Yuan Shu, so he used this method to cut off Yuan Shu's ambitions and completely gathered the reputation of the Yuan family to him.

Idiots like Yuan Shu have countless civil and military followers, but they rely on the reputation of the Yuan family's four generations and three masters. Now Yuan Shu is no longer a chance, and the Yuan family's disciples and former officials can only choose Yuan Shao. In this way, Yuan Shao's reputation is higher than before.

Of course, this is not a good thing for Zuo Xiaoyou. Yuan Shao's reputation is too high, which has delayed his speed of becoming the number one person in the world.

It doesn’t matter to Zuo Xiaoyou himself. Anyway, he has time, and even if he ends, he can still be the best in the world. What’s the point.

Because Zuo Xiaoyou has stabilized in Jingzhou, the last time he came back from Luoyang, Zuo Xiaoyou took Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi away. As for Yan, he stayed in Luoyang, Zuo Xiaoyou will always return to Luoyang in the future. Yan, a woman, hopes to live a stable life. Although she has no husband now, she has someone to serve in the Nanpi Hou Mansion and is not short of food and clothing. She lives a good life. Although her daughter is going to Jingzhou, Yan still decided to stay.

Zuo Xiaoyou thought it was good, it was Lu Lingqi's first time leaving her mother and she was feeling a little depressed. But the child was a child. After arriving in Jingzhou, Zuo Xiaoyou directly sent Lu Lingqi to the aristocratic girls' school, allowing her to study with the girls in the school and make some friends by the way.

This aristocratic girls' school was specially opened by Zuo Xiaoyou for the daughter of the powerful family. Because the school is full of boys, the nobles definitely don't want their daughters to go to be classmates with those monkeys, but they also hope that their daughters can have some knowledge, so someone told Zuo Xiaoyou about this, especially Huang Chengyan, who was constantly talking in his ears at home, so he could only shamelessly ask Zuo Xiaoyou to open a girls' school so that his daughter could also go to school.

Zuo Xiaoyou agreed, but he was facing the pressure of the aristocratic people in the court and wanted to go to Luoyang to ask for the right things, so he left the matter to Huang Chengyan. Then when Zuo Xiaoyou went to Luoyang to ask for the right things, a noble girl's school appeared.

Of course, the girls' schools were running a bit hasty, which led to insufficient teachers, which means there was a lack of female teachers.

But after entrusting Cai Yong with his blessing, he taught a good daughter, and his good daughter was in Jingzhou at this time, so Cai Yan became the female principal and teacher of the school.

How could Cai Yan be in Jingzhou? Thanks to Zuo Xiaoyou.

During Dong Zhuo's reign, Cai Yong was taken to be an official by Dong Zhuo, but not long after he became an official, the eighteen princes conquered Luoyang and killed Dong Zhuo. At that time, everyone hated Dong Zhuo, and anyone who had something to do with Dong Zhuo would not die well. However, Cai Yong did something to commit suicide, that is, when Dong Zhuo died, he went to cry to Dong Zhuo, but Wang Yun beat him into a 'traitor' and wanted to kill him.

But at this time, Wang Yun made a series of plans, and after Zuo Xiaoyou was discovered, he was turned into a civilian by Yuan Shao. Without Wang Yun causing trouble, Zuo Xiaoyou said a few more words to Cai Yong, so Cai Yong was acquitted. At the same time, Yuan Shao asked Cai Yong to compile history books and stop doing anything political.

Under such circumstances, Cai Yong felt at ease in his studies and history books. Although his life was a little poor, he finally settled down.

Then when Zuo Xiaoyou was running a school in Jingzhou, Huang Chengyan and others went to Luoyang to invite Cai Yong.

Cai Yong is a famous scholar in the world. In terms of talent and knowledge, he is definitely better than Huang Chengyan and others. Cai Yong is also a real person who studies knowledge. On university campuses, he is the professor level and the top professor.

When Cai Yong saw the good thing that could become a saint in opening a school, he came to Jingzhou without saying a word, and Cai Yan came to Jingzhou in this situation.

Originally, Cai Yan and Wei Zhongdao from Hedong had a marriage contract, so they had to marry into the Wei family as soon as they got old, but they were so desperate that they could not die. At that time, Cai Yong got himself in because of crying Dong Zhuo, and was given the title of a traitor.

The Wei family is a Hedong clan. They cherish their reputation and care about their own safety. At that time, Cai Yong had just been called a traitor. Seeing that he would not live long, the Wei family regretted the marriage righteously.

"How can my Wei family marry the daughter of a traitor!" One sentence really hurt Cai Yan, but the Wei family didn't care. Cai Yong was no longer safe, so the Wei family had to separate their relationship.

But the Wei family never dreamed that Cai Yong was detained for several months and was released. As a result, the marriage was so embarrassing that the Wei family had left. Originally, the Wei family also sent someone to apologize and hoped to settle the marriage again.

But Cai Yong and Cai Yan are both honest people. If they are so cruel to the Wei family, how could they agree to such unreasonable requests?

In this way, Cai Yan has been alone at home and studies research every day. Although Cai Yong also wanted to find another partner for Cai Yan, Cai Yan was very hurt by this marriage, which made her a little disgusted with marriage and repeatedly rejected Cai Yong's proposal.

In this way, when he came to Jingzhou, Cai Yan was exactly 20 years old (Xu Sui, the ancients calculated this way, and there were many places in modern times). He also learned a lot of knowledge at home, and he was good at playing the piano, and had good talents. When he was idle at home, Cai Yong wanted to find something for his daughter. At this time, he finally found a girl's school, and Cai Yong felt that it was perfect for his daughter to be the principal of the girl's school. After the test of all the great scholars, Cai Yan successfully became the first principal and teacher of the aristocratic girls' school.

There were not many students in the aristocratic girls' school, with a total of about forty, all under thirteen years old. Cai Yan could teach them all alone, and it also convinced these aristocratic ladies.

But Huang Yueying is an alien in school. Huang Yueying is very interested in literature and art, but she is very interested in some arithmetic things in the mechanism and often makes the students happy. However, Huang Yueying is always outdoors in research, so she often faces the sun, which makes her skin feel dark all the time, which makes Cai Yan a little helpless.

Until Lu Lingqi, a wild girl who often practices martial arts outdoors, arrived, Huang Yueying finally had a company. (To be continued.)
