Chapter 132: The Waking of Insects in March, Commentary on the First Day of the Moon in Nancheng(1/3)
Nowadays, the influence of paper in Han Dynasty is widely spread!
The Xu brothers know that once Xiyu launches something like a monthly newspaper, it will have a serious impact on the family.
Although the Xu family is also from a Runan aristocratic family, the two Xu Jing brothers see things differently from those from those aristocratic families.
What the Xu brothers value is their reputation.
Naturally, they didn't have much resistance to what Xi Yu said about the newspaper. In fact, their brothers were somewhat enthusiastic about it.
Now that Xi Yu can say this in front of the two of them, the two of them are somewhat serious about it.
Regarding things like monthly reports, I just listened to what Xi Yu said.
Xu Jing and Xu Shao understood immediately, and it would be a great thing if their monthly commentary could be loaded on it.
The two sides hit it off almost immediately.
"When do you plan to release this monthly report?"
Xu Jing was a little excited and almost blurted out these words.
Xi Yu looked at the other party: "Of course it depends on the two gentlemen's monthly comments!"
"I wonder how many scholars' articles you two gentlemen have collected now, and who are they?"
Xi Yu asked casually.
Hearing this, Xu Shao Fu Xu came up and smiled.
"My two brothers have been collecting articles from many sources since they planned to restart the Yuedan Commentary. Now there are dozens of them!"
"There are a few of them that people are talking about!"
As soon as Xu Shao finished speaking, Xu Jing followed him and continued.
"The famous ones include the descendants of the Sima family in Hanoi, and Yang Xiu, the son of the former Taiwei Yang Biao! We have also included the previous articles written by Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Gong!"
A descendant of the Sima family?
Could it be Sima Yi, or his brother Sima Lang?
As for the Taiwei’s son Yang Xiu, this one is so familiar!
Xi Yu still clearly remembered that he had learned an article in the textbook of his previous life, called The Death of Yang Xiu!
There are very few people in future generations who don’t know the other party’s name.
Yang Xiu is very smart, but too smart!
"Yang Xiu, I have heard of this man, the son of a Taiwei, he is quite talented!"
"I think the article this guy has written must be extremely brilliant!"
Xi Yu commented casually, and the Xu brothers beside him also nodded.
Their brothers still have some understanding of government affairs.
Cao Cao dismissed Yang Biao, and Xi Yu, who stood with Cao Cao, was naturally distinct from Yang Biao.
But now I heard Xi Yu praising Yang Xiu so much.
The expression is sincere and does not seem to be fake.
"Sir's broad-mindedness is really admirable!"
The Xu brothers smiled, and Xiyu continued to speak.
"With the talents of these two gentlemen, Yu feels that it is a pity to just host the Lunar New Year Review!"
"Are you two interested in starting a newspaper this time?"
Now it’s almost time to complete the school bureau in Xuchang.
Xi Yu is worried about not having enough teachers. The talents of the two people in front of him are fully qualified for the position of teachers.
First use the newspapers and periodicals to frame the two of them, and by then, the school’s teachers will also have their whereabouts.
Xi Yu had a smile on his lips and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
At this moment, hearing that Dao Xiyu wanted to leave the newspaper matters to the two of them, the Xu brothers were obviously a little stunned.
The two of them naturally understood the importance of something like a newspaper, but they didn't expect Xi Yu to want to give it to them.
It’s really surprising.
"Since Sir has this intention, my two brothers should help each other!"
There was nothing to refuse. It was such a huge good thing. Xu Jing and Xu Shao almost nodded and agreed as soon as they finished speaking.
The conversation between the three of them can be said to be a great time for both host and guest.
Until noon, Xi Yu took the initiative to keep the two of them at home for a meal.
Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and his elder brother were also invited by Xi Yu.
Liu Bei, who was at the banquet, felt a little happy when he saw that the Xu brothers and Xi Yu seemed to have almost reached an agreement.
However, thinking about Zhao Yun's alienation from me before, I felt a little heavy.
At this time, Zhao Yun and his brother thanked Xi Yu again.
Xi Yu didn't say much. He was in a good mood after the other party recovered.
……
"Newspaper, monthly review?"
Within Xuchang Yamen.
After discussing with the Xu brothers, Xi Yu informed Cao Cao and Xun Yu about his intention to start a newspaper.
After hearing the so-called newspaper, Cao Cao was somewhat surprised.
"What Fengyi thinks about is always beyond my imagination!"
Cao Cao felt a little emotional.
The circulation of words through newspapers recorded some events of the Han Dynasty and announced them.
Arouse the public opinion of the entire Han Dynasty.
This thing is really unimaginable.
Is this still possible?
"If these aristocratic families find out about Fengyi's actions, I'm afraid they will have sleepless nights again!"
Xun Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Compared to the previous school, the matter of newspapers pales into insignificance.
Xiyu doesn’t have many ideas.
He doesn't care what those aristocratic families are like.
Establishing a school is the first step, and founding a newspaper may be the second step. But if we want to drive this era, there is still a lot to do.
These aristocratic families have no qualifications to stop him.
At this time, I understood the influence of Yuedan Commentary and newspapers on the future.
Cao Cao had an idea flashing in his mind, and soon he spoke.
"In this case, the matter of recruitment and selection should be placed after the Lunar New Year Review!"
……
In mid-February, Xun You arrived in Xuchang from Yingchuan through Xun Yu's letters.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and stepped forward to greet Xun You. He had heard of Xun You's reputation for a long time and had wanted to conquer him for a long time.
Now that the other party came to him through Xun Yu, Cao Cao was filled with joy.
As for Guo Fengxiao, whom he had been thinking about before, when Xun You arrived, Cao Cao naturally forgot about him.
Cao Cao invited him again and again, but the other party ignored him.
Now that there are great talents coming to invest, there is no need for Cao Cao to continue to show off his hot face to the cold butt.
As soon as Xun You came, Cao Cao had a night chat with Xun You, and they had a very happy conversation.
The next day, Cao Cao worshiped Xun You as his minister, and because Xi Zhicai had now been promoted to Zhongshu Ling, Xun You temporarily took over the post of military advisor.
……
In a restaurant in Xuchang.
When I heard that Xun You had arrived in Xuchang, I was just hungover and yawning.
Xi Zhi raised his eyes and saw a figure lying nearby.
He reached out and patted him.
"Guo Fengxiao, don't sleep!"
