Chapter 184 Shake people At the Jixia Academy, because Tian Ze and others were busy dealing with internal affairs, the matter of the Hundred Schools of Inheritance List was directly handed over to Lu Zhi and Cai Yong. Looking at the mountain of bamboo slips on the table, Cai Yong sighed deeply. "Zi Gan, if it's just you and me, it will take at least two years to finish it. We have to find some help." "Do you have any recommendations?" Lu Zhi asked. He also had a headache about this matter. Originally, I thought it was just a simple attempt to motivate the students from hundreds of schools and strengthen internal exchanges, but I didn't expect that the matter would become bigger and bigger, and it was directly linked to the rise and fall of the aristocratic families and tens of millions of acres of fertile land. The group of people who made this matter so big, after all the trouble, have now simply quit and left a message: they were afraid that their participation would affect fairness. At this moment, I am afraid that it will affect fairness, so why aren’t you afraid of torturing them to death? During this period, Lu Zhi received more letters than he had received in most of his life. Many of his former disciples, good friends, and fellow students came to visit him, forcing Lu Zhi to want to retreat to the mountains like Sima Hui. But this is indeed what Tian Ze meant.
It is better not to mix too many political factors into cultural heritage. The Jixia Academy is extremely important. Now that it has been put on the right track, it is time to let go. Tian Ze took this opportunity to make the Jixia Academy completely independent. Except for a few that he had to control, he would let the rest go. An academic environment without any other factors can better encourage the continuous collision and development of various ideas. "Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Guan Ning, Lu Kang, Wang Lie..." Cai Yong directly listed a series of names. Originally he thought he could handle this matter on his own, but now it seems that he was too naive. It sounds simple, it's just a ranking and evaluation, but if you want to be fair and reasonable, the prerequisite is that you have to have a deep understanding and be able to judge fairly, at least so that others can't find too obvious loopholes. Now that the matter is so big, all the noble families are keeping an eye on them, any small omission will be infinitely magnified, and if they are not handled properly, big problems may arise. However, each of the various schools of thought has its own strengths, and the world's aristocratic families have long-standing family traditions, so even he finds it difficult to take all of them into account. The ranking method that took half a year to come up with, although generally recognized by scholars of hundreds of schools of thought, still has many shortcomings. However, the merits outweigh the flaws, so most people did not point them out. Now that huge fame and fortune were involved, the scholars from hundreds of schools of thought who had originally not cared much about it also put forward their own opinions, and the shortcomings they pointed out alone filled up the things in front of them. We have to call someone! Hearing the names Cai Yong mentioned one by one, Lu Zhi nodded in agreement, but finally raised a question: "Are you sure you can invite them?" "Not sure." Cai Yong said directly. They are all world-famous figures standing at the top of the academic world, and many of them are indifferent to fame and fortune and live in seclusion in the mountains. How could Cai Yong be sure to invite all of them? "Give it a try. Appeal to their emotions and reason with them. You can hire as many people as you can." Hearing this, Lu Zhi sighed and said, "Well, let's go to your house and invite you personally. I'll spare no effort and treat you as much as I can." Since the establishment of the Jixia Academy, Lu Zhi had been praised too highly and had always felt guilty about it. He was prepared to make it his lifelong career as a way to atone for his sins. Especially after Tian Ze had a deep talk with him and was ready to let go completely, Lu Zhi felt that the burden on his shoulders was as heavy as a thousand pounds. Shouldering the heavy responsibility of inheriting the core culture of the entire nation, he dared not slack off in the slightest.
"By the way, your daughter-in-law is very good and can also be ranked among them." The previous Hundred Schools of Inheritance List was perfected by Cai Yan with the help of Cai Yong. Her talent even amazed Lu Zhi. If she were not a girl, she would have been famous all over the world. Hearing Lu Zhi's words, Cai Yong's eyes flashed with pride and hesitation: "Zhao Ji is a woman after all. Is it okay for her to participate in this matter..." Lu Zhi said bluntly: "If anyone has any objections, let him come to me." "So what if she's a woman? Back then, 'Master Ban' was talented and famous all over the world. He not only taught students, but also participated in politics and received titles. Who would dare not submit?" Lu Zhi always admired Ban Zhao, the teacher of his teacher's elder brother. He even disdained to call him "Master Cao" and directly called him "Master Ban". Back then, "Ban Zhao" and Empress Dowager Deng, who were both teachers and friends, worked together to create a prosperous era for the Han Dynasty. Deng Sui, who was trained and supported by Ban Zhao, ruled the country for 16 years in the name of "female monarch". She promoted reforms, selected talents, provided disaster relief, revived the economy, established education, eliminated superstition, liberated people's minds, developed the south of the Yangtze River, quelled foreign invasions, and expanded the territory by thousands of miles. She was praised as the "crown of queens". She even suppressed aristocratic families, edited books in the Eastern Palace, founded girls' schools, promoted social security, and guided Cai Lun to improve papermaking technology, etc. She can be said to be a wise queen. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the times and the mainstream trend at the time, it was difficult for women to even save their own lives. Even Ban Zhao had to compromise and write "Instructions for Women". The original intention was to seek a way to survive for women, but it was misinterpreted as a knife in the hands of Confucianism, which was used to enslave women for nearly a thousand years. Tian Ze's actions now coincide with his own, with the intention of reversing the current situation of male dominance and female inferiority and seeking equality, and Lu Zhi also wants to speak out for it. "How can my little girl be compared with 'Ban Dajia'?" Lu Zhi shook his head gently: "Your daughter is not ordinary. Her talent in literature is no less than any other man of her generation. She can almost be on par with 'Master Ban'. If she is trained well, I am afraid that her achievements in the future will surpass 'Master Ban'." "After all, times have changed!" Speaking of this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh. This disciple of his is truly amazing. He has single-handedly pushed the trend forward. Today's era is something he had once fantasized about but never thought was possible. "Yes! It's an era of great contention, and it's an era of relative balance under control. I'm afraid this kind of experience may not happen again in a thousand years!" Cai Yong said with emotion. Not only Tian Ze, but all knowledgeable people in the world sincerely admire and respect the way he controls the world with great momentum. The Han Dynasty today seems to be divided among various states, but it is much more powerful than before the chaotic times. Although the people in various places were affected by the war, most of them were safe and did not have to worry about not being able to survive. Even the refugees were wiped out. Moreover, the princes with a little foresight have already begun to coerce and induce the people to have children. After all, Tianze recruits people regardless of age. Let the people have more children, and when they are a little older, buy them by force and sell them. This way, you can earn money and food without having to worry about providing aid to the enemy. After all, the child is less than two or three years old, and Tian Ze will have to raise him for more than ten years. After more than ten years, the opportunity will be gone, and this will be a move to weaken the enemy. Needless to say, under Tian Ze's rule, the fertility rate has remained high. At the current rate, the population will double in a decade or so. There is no need to say more about the military equipment, land, and grain production. The people under Tian Ze's rule alone are enough to surpass the Han Dynasty of the past. "There is just one thing. The marriage between your daughter and the Hedong Wei family was cancelled with the death of Wei Zhongdao, so she is now a free person." "I understand what you mean." Cai Yong said. He knew very well what it would mean if Cai Yan got involved in this matter.
Women from all over the world dominate Seoul! Her status is so noble that it is unlikely that she will be able to marry anyone other than Tian Ze in this life. When Tian Ze had nothing to do, he would hang out in the Jixia Academy. He met Cai Yan in the Wanshu Pavilion many times, and they got along quite well. It was impossible to say that they had no feelings for each other. Cai Yong also asked privately, and Cai Yan also admired and appreciated Tian Ze's personality, talents and benevolence. However, Tian Ze already had a wife, and Cai Yong would find it difficult to accept if Cai Yan were to marry him as a concubine. "I have asked Chengshou about this matter. He is quite fond of your daughter. But the world is still unsettled, so he cannot give her any other status for the time being. I think it won't be too late to discuss this matter after a few years when the situation becomes clear." As one of the four great talented ladies, Cai Yan's temperament is far beyond ordinary people, and Tian Ze could not forget her at first sight. Not only does she have an extremely outstanding appearance, but the most rare thing about her is that she has a scholarly air that adds a bit of intellectuality and elegance, making her as graceful as a chrysanthemum standing in the frost, which makes people admire and yearn for her. She truly combines beauty and talent, and possesses the top charm of women of this era. "This matter is harmless. Your disciple will ascend to that position sooner or later. If Zhao Ji can be a virtuous concubine and help govern the country, it will be a good story. Let them think things through first." (End of this chapter)
