Chapter 153 The right to speak

"Brother Kong Zhang, what do you think of this Youzhou Daily?"

In a magnificently decorated living room, two old men drink tea.

When Zhang Qingfeng came to this era, the lifestyle of many people in this era has changed.

Such as cooking, and how to drink tea, etc.

"I can't tell if the Youzhou Daily is good or not, but I can see that if someone uses the Youzhou Daily to slander and slander a person, then that person must be unable to argue with it." The old man called Brother Kong Zhang said.

These two people are the two important counselors under Cao Cao, one is Chen Lin, whose name is Kong Zhang, and the other is Xun You.

"Since Youzhou Daily is so important, how about we find a way to bring it back to the court?" Xun You said to Chen Lin.

Hearing Xun You's words, Chen Lin shook her head and said, "Do you think Zhao Ruixiang will let you take this thing back to the imperial court? Are you afraid that Youzhou will make trouble again? Even if it is brought back to the imperial court, who will take care of it? Will your people do this?" ?”

"Then, why don't you act?" Xun You frowned and said. "Since it's not easy to collect it for me, why don't we run a newspaper of that kind as well."

"It seems that there is no way at present. No matter the paper needed to run the newspaper, or the printing press and ink for printing, they are all in the hands of Zhao Ruixiang and his students. We can't do it at all." Chen Lin shook her head.

"If the prime minister is no longer in Youzhou, and there is a large army stationed by the imperial court, we can think of some ways. Now it seems that we can only wait for the prime minister to come back." Xun You said somewhat dullly.

Before Cao Cao returned to Youzhou, anyone who wanted to suppress Zhang Qingfeng would be counterattacked by Youzhou.

As a wealthy family from the Central Plains to Youzhou, both Xun You and Chen Lin wanted the family to continue to have the right to speak in the court.

And the emergence of the Youzhou Neo Confucianism Department made the aristocratic families from the Central Plains finally aware of the threat.

They didn't want to eliminate the lineage of Neo Confucianism. After all, Neo Confucianism was no longer deeply rooted in Youzhou, and there was no way to eliminate it.

Most of them want to take this emerging school into their own hands
Just like after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone, many big families naturally transformed into Confucianism, and then continued to control the right to speak.

Historically, the rise of any emerging group will touch the interests of established groups, and the conflict between the two sides can only be resolved by a complete compromise on one side.

What Zhang Qingfeng has to do at this time is to snatch the right to speak from the hands of the old aristocratic family. In the end, either you will integrate into my system, or you will only slowly move towards self-destruction.

But now Xun You and other Central Plains aristocratic families have very simple things to do, wait for Cao Cao to bring his troops back, and then try to separate the relationship between Cao Cao and Zhang Qingfeng.

As long as Cao Cao is not a fool, he will find a way to control Youzhou, and if Cao Cao wants to fully control Youzhou, he must not use all the people from Zhang Qingfeng's family.

As long as Cao Cao thinks this way and does the same, then the opportunity for other families will come.

Although the governor of Youzhou couldn't be replaced with someone from another faction in a short time, after all, the imperial court had to take care of the face of Zhang Qingfeng and his students.

But Yuyang county magistrate and prefects and county magistrates in other counties must have some positions in their hands.

In the past, Youzhou was the most remote border of the Han Dynasty, a place of bitter cold, and many people looked down on the local officials here.

But now in Youzhou, any county or county is extremely rich.

Rough Ping City and Yuyang City are even more fertile lands. As long as one of them is mastered, it will greatly help the development of his family.

"Husband, do you really want to send Qian'er to Youzhou Academy?"

In Jicheng, in a villa, a woman asked a middle-aged man.

Villa is currently the most popular housing style in Youzhou. It was first built by Mr. Ruixiang, and then imitated by others, and it soon became popular in the whole Youzhou.

Wealthy businessmen and dignitaries with a little money will build a beautiful villa and install bright glass and lamps, which has become a fashion.

Chen Jiao, as a general following Cao Cao's conquests, moved his capital to Youzhou, so he was naturally assigned to a villa.

At this time, Chen Jiao was going to send his son Chen Qian to Youzhou School to learn Neo-Confucianism.

But his wife has some doubts about this.

"There is nothing wrong with Youzhou Academy. Youzhou Academy also teaches Confucian classics and Confucianism. It will be easier to become an official after you finish your studies." Chen Jiao said to his wife.

"Didn't you realize that the Prime Minister has been vigorously promoting the students of the Department of Science in the past few years. If Qian'er studies Neo-Confucianism and I help take care of him in the court, his development will be even better in the future."

"Alright then." Now that Chen Jiao has already made up his mind, as his wife, she can't stop her.

In fact, Chen Jiao was not the first court dignitary to send his children to Youzhou Academy.

In addition, there are also Xun You, Chen Lin, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and other families and children, many of whom have been sent to Youzhou schools or academies to study.

Although Xun You, Chen Lin and others have always wanted to suppress Zhang Qingfeng's family, it did not affect them sending the family's children to Youzhou School to learn Neo Confucianism.

Historically, during the period of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, Confucianism did not have the detached status it had in later Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Confucianists were also reflecting on whether it was wrong to govern the country with Confucianism. Now they have discovered that the mode of governing the country by Neo-Confucianism in Youzhou seems to be better than Confucianism.

Aristocratic families who are afraid that Neo Confucianism will replace Confucianism will naturally send their family children to Youzhou Academy to study Neo Confucianism.

Hundreds of years ago, when the status of Confucianism was established, many big families did the same.

If Confucianism replaced Confucianism as the new philosophy of governing the country, as long as they wanted, they could still become the top members of the Neo-Confucian school, and then continue to control the power of the country and safeguard the interests of the family.

Now Confucianism is very disdainful of Neo-Confucianism. It seems that Neo-Confucianism is not a new theory, but a hodgepodge of previous theories.

It contains the ideas and achievements of almost all schools of thought and achievements, such as Farm School, Legalism, Mohism, Taoism, Confucianism, etc.

Of course, there are many other things that no one else has heard.

However, it was these things that made Youzhou prosperous and powerful in a short period of time.

In fact, Zhang Qingfeng has never recognized Neo-Confucianism. Neo-Confucianism is what others call his and his students' department.

His knowledge is very complicated, and he learned from others where Legalism has its advantages, such as the idea of ​​ruling the country by law.He also learns the good things about Confucianism, such as the moral system advocated by Confucianism, these things are very precious.

If there is a conflict between the two ideas, Zhang Qingfeng will judge from the perspective of future generations in 2000, and choose the best thing to keep.

The day after Chen Jiao decided to send his son to Youzhou School, a major event that caused a sensation in Youzhou finally came.
