Cao Mengde could not have known the situation around Yanzhou.

Cao Mengde knew everything about Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in the south, Tao Qian in the east, and Lu Bu.

Cao Mengde didn't find it strange to what Zhao Yu said. Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and did not say that he was a slave of the three surnames, but he was an absolute animal of interest, and he was just a sharp eye.

Lu Bu is a reckless man with a small brain capacity and unwilling to surrender. He has so many criminal records. No matter who he depends on, he will be afraid and suppressed, and of course he cannot last long.

"Sir said he went north, why didn't he go south?"

Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Lu Bu is good at fighting cavalry. Whether he goes south or west, if he leads troops to Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and is covered with water, what can he do?"

"Sir, it's reasonable." Cao Mengde said: "But in this way, I have to be wary of him entering Yanzhou."

This is not impossible. But the probability is not high.

Lu Bu is now a loser. If he doesn't get any benefits from Yuan Shu, he will have no capital to fight Cao Mengde. He only has more than 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry. If he loses his family in Yanzhou, he will become the commander-in-law and nothing will be done.

"Just only need three or five thousand troops to station in Chenliu, Lu Bu will not dare to start the battle lightly." Zhao Yu said: "Hanoi Zhang Yang and Lu Bu are old acquaintances, and he will definitely go to Hanoi."

Cao Mengde nodded with a smile.

Then when talking about Guanzhong, Zhao Yu smiled and said, "I heard that Meng De, you and Cai Boyi are both teachers and friends, are you the best friends?"

"Cai Boyi..." Cao Mengde was stunned for a moment when he heard this, with a little sad expression: "Cai Boyi is indeed both a teacher and a friend of mine. I once asked him for advice on the scriptures and poems. Unexpectedly, if the prince's teacher had not died at the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si, I would have killed him with my hands!"

"Then Meng De must know Zhao Ji?" Zhao Yu said with a smile.

"Cai Yan?!"

"Yes." Zhao Yu said: "I took her here."

Cao Mengde first showed surprise, then pointed at Zhao Yu and laughed: "I just said, I just said! I said, "I'm a fellow disciple of me, but in the past three years, you don't want any of the beautiful girls I sent to my husband's house. It turns out that I think it's ordinary! Zhao Ji is beautiful and has been influenced by poetry and books, and knows a lot about music and verses. There are few such women in the world, so she is indeed a good match for her!"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly and did not deny it. He did think Cai Yan was very good and said, "I tell you this, I want you to help you settle it. She is a talented woman. Although she is weak, she is also arrogant. She is nameless and honest with me, so it is difficult to live in my home."

Cao Mengde smiled and said, "This is done. Zhao Ji and Mr. are good partners, so I will make the decision and propose marriage to Mr. tomorrow..."

"Don't!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand quickly: "This matter is not urgent."

Cao Mengde laughed: "I didn't expect that the gentleman still has such a romantic mood. In my opinion, cook the rice first, and take the rest later."

"What's more," Cao Mengde paused and said with a smile: "Since Zhao Ji is here with her, don't you understand this? I bet that Zhao Ji will definitely not accept my arrangement. Do you believe it?"

Zhao Yu frowned and said, "I don't believe it."

"You might as well give it a try."

Cao Mengde burst out with great enthusiasm for this matter.

In fact, Zhao Yu changed his mind and understood. Before, Zhao Yu was alone, and his family was not hungry after eating, so he would go wherever he wanted. And if he had a family and had a ties, it would be a good thing for Cao Mengde. Who would know if he would disappear one day if he had no worries?

Just like this time, he went to Guanzhong, which made Cao Mengde sweat. He was afraid that such a thing would happen in the future and would not return once he left. If he had a wife and a child, the probability of this situation would be greatly reduced. Cao Mengde could not care about it.

Then the kitchen served delicious food. When Zhao Yu saw that it was cooking.

It seems that the dishes of Tianranju have spread to Cao Mengde's mansion.

While eating and drinking, the two of them talked about the previous events again.

Cao Mengde said: "Chen Gongtai belongs to a family, which goes against my intentions. Although I know that he is not selfish, but..."

Zhao Yu drank a jue wine and put down the jue and said, "This world is so desolate that when Emperor Guangwu turned the tide, it was destined. Guangwu relied on the support of powerful families to overthrow Wang Mang, so the prosperity of the family was inevitable. However, the aristocratic families enjoyed the power of the world, but all their obligations were put on the heads of the people. This was the seizing power from the emperor. Meng Dezhi was in the world and was destined to be the rivals of the aristocratic families. However, for hundreds of years, the aristocratic families had completed the monopoly of knowledge and power, and it was difficult for the people to produce another talent. There was still a long way to go to complete the new chariot."

Cao Mengde sighed deeply: "My Cao family is also a clan. I didn't think so before. Now I'm sitting in such a seat, I find it extremely difficult. The clans that cannot be abandoned are not even able to find a useful person without them." "So you must break the monopoly of knowledge." Zhao Yu said seriously: "Only among the common people, countless talents can emerge. Without you, the clans will decline."

“How difficult?”

"It's not difficult." Zhao Yu laughed: "My method of making paper is the first step." "I hope to hear it carefully."

"The difficulty of inheriting knowledge has a lot to do with the carrier. The difficulty of editing bamboo, wood, and engraving has limited the popularity of knowledge to some extent. This is one of them. Therefore, I want to lay a foundation for making paper." Zhao Yu said in detail: "About next year and the next year, when high-yield and high-quality varieties are popularized and Yanzhou is completely stable, we can start to transform this aspect. Then I have a way." Cao Mengde listened intently and nodded slightly. "Second, it is difficult to get started now. I will find a way to compile a few easy-to-learn enlightenment books. When the time comes, I will print them for three or five cents. "Second, reading is difficult now. I will find a way to compile a few easy-to-learn enlightenment books.

A poor family can afford it. You can popularize education to villages and towns, and set up a law to require all children of appropriate age to enroll in school. In this way, the base of the people is huge, and no matter how bad they are, they can produce some talents." "This is a solution." Cao Mengde thought for a while and said, "High-yield and good varieties will make the people's families not hungry and have extra money, so children have the opportunity to learn. The paper carries knowledge, and you have a new Meng Book, which is not the same as the family-born poetry and books stored by aristocratic families, so they have no reason to object. If they cooperate with the laws and regulations, once they are implemented, they will definitely be earth-shaking. However..."

He paused and said, "Even if it is a simple enlightenment book, a gentleman who knows how to read and write can teach it. This move will dig out the roots of aristocratic families, and they will definitely obstruct it secretly, afraid that few people are willing to teach children. And even if there is paper, it will take time and effort to copy the words."

Zhao Yu smiled when he heard this. He said confidently: "If you have paper, you need to engrave the text on the paper. I have a way. 18,000 copies, three or five days is enough. As for the Meng Master who teaches children, I will leave it to me. Only select some clever ones from the common people, and I will teach them February and March. Anyway, enlightenment is just for enlightenment, and they don't need much profound knowledge. February and March are enough. With this first batch, a spark can start a prairie fire. One can spread ten, ten hundred, and hundreds of millions. In less than a few years, you won't be afraid that there will be no Meng Master. And those with talent can further study, and even become officials, and not be an official can supplement the high-end level of the education system. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Cao Mengde chewed and savored, his face gradually became radiant, and he shouted: "Sir, have really helped me so much! This is the foundation of all ages! Please accept my bow!" "Hey!" Zhao Yu waved his hand quickly: "Why are you still like this?"

Cao Mengde was stunned and immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Zhao Yu immediately turned around: "The family is powerful, and doing so will definitely hurt his feet. Can Meng De have a solution?"

Cao Mengde also had a headache about this and said, "The only way to do it slowly."

Zhao Yu laughed and shook his head: "I have a way to solve the problems of the Yanzhou family."

"oh?"

Cao Mengde was very energetic: "Please teach me sir."

Zhao Yu said: "My method is very simple. It is to give you a legitimate reason to clean up the disobedient family families in Yanzhou."

Before Cao Mengde could speak, Zhao Yu said in detail: "Chen Gongtai is talented, but I think his thoughts are still too outdated. Mengde, you first issued a recruitment order, and then there will be many measures that will affect the interests of the aristocratic families in Yanzhou."

Cao Mengde nodded slightly, which was inevitable.

Zhao Yu said: "I conclude that some of them, once they find an opportunity, will definitely jump out and rebel. And what Meng De wants to do is to let them jump out."

Cao Mengde narrowed his eyes slightly. Zhao Yu continued, "I guess Chen Gongtai will probably... Then give him a chance. He will definitely accumulate some people out..."

When Cao Mengde heard this, he sighed first, and then said, "But even if Chen Gongtai really can get to this point, he knows some of your abilities, so he is afraid that he will not dare to move easily."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Then give him a reason to move. The time has come. I will find a reason to go to the deep mountains and forests to retreat. Isn't that simple?"

Cao Mengde agreed with Zhao Yu's idea in his heart, and then the two discussed the details.

"If you want to give them a piece of private land, I think Chenliu is good, so that they can get together with peace of mind."

"Only aristocratic families and no power to rebel, they must introduce external forces. I just don't know who it is."

"No matter who it is, who will die at that time. Regarding Chen Gongtai, I just make a plan first, maybe it is not him. But you must use people from aristocratic families, so they have inner support. In many places, you can relax in the inner support, but only the soldiers forged by steel must be strictly guarded. However, you should also give them some illusions - you choose a place to make a place where soldiers are hoarded, pretend to be strictly guarded and used as bait. If they want to rebel, they will definitely find a way to seize this place, so let them seize..."

"This is easy to deal with. Those who have been eliminated from the military overuse should be decorated for a little while and find a place to put it."
