Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 280 Kong Rong Resigns
Chapter 281 Kong Rong Resigns
"Young master, why do you want to teach refugees how to read?" The first person to ask the question was He Yuan, the newly appointed Secretary of the Household Department.

The chief officials of the four divisions under the household department are all newly appointed. Among them, He Yuan, the secretary of the household department, Quanqin, the doctor of the Jinbu department, and Zheng Geng, the doctor of the warehouse department, were promoted by former officials of the household department, and Xue Qi, the doctor of the Duzhi department, is new here.

"I don't want to teach the displaced people literacy. I'm planning to promote culture and education. I will set up schools in Luoyang County and open literacy classes at the same time. Not only the new residents, but also the original residents."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is preparing for Luoyang Academy. If you want to promote culture and education, you only need to open another county school. Why are you so mobilizing the masses and running a school among refugees..." Some people in the Ministry of Punishment also questioned.

"Luoyang has a large population, so it's natural to have more schools. What's the problem?"

"This..." Everyone was speechless to Cao Chong's answer.

After all, the fact that "common people cannot read and write" can only be understood but not expressed in words.

You must know that Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was only born as a pavilion chief, and few of the founding fathers under him were of noble status.

"Young master wants to build so many schools and require so many people to be literate. With Luoyang's current ability, I'm afraid it can't be done." Even Pang Tong disagreed.

"Today is just announcing the policy to let everyone know that there is a plan. As for whether it can be completed, the Ministry of Rites has a detailed plan. It only needs everyone's cooperation."

Cao Chong was a little displeased. If other people have opinions, let it go, but you, Pang Tong, still have opinions.

What do you mean?
Everyone heard, yes, this matter is under the control of the Ministry of Rites, but what about the people in the Ministry of Rites?
Everyone looked left and right, looked around, and didn't see a single person from the Ministry of Rites.

Kong Rong, you usually don't care about the big and small things in the county, and everyone just bears it. You don't come today?

Education is under the control of your Ministry of Rites. If you don't take the lead, our opposition will be unfair!
When Cao Chong saw that Kong Rong and none of the people from the Ministry of Rites were there, he gave the old man Kong a hundred praises in his heart for his stubborn temper.

Pang Tong was also taken aback, where did this old man go at the critical moment?
Because of Kong Rong's absence, Pang Tong and others couldn't deliberately make things difficult for Cao Chong. The matter of running the school was decided like this. As for whether it will be successful or not, everyone agreed: nonsense!
Not to mention that it is impossible for old man Kong to agree to this matter, even if old man Kong can't beat Cao Chong, is it so easy to run a school?

Who in the world is willing to teach refugees literacy?
What a fucking school without a teacher!
After Cao Chong settled on running the school, he continued to announce other new policies, such as the arrangement of farmland, the planning of new city construction, and a series of other things.

After all the New Deal plans were arranged, Cao Chong went to supervise Xinmin's statistical work without resting.

"Tell the newcomers that no matter men, women or children, they must register. In the future, men, women and children will have a share in the distribution of cultivated land. If they don't cooperate now, they will lose their share when the land is allocated!"

Cao Chong found that the refugees were not very cooperative with the registration of the population, and they were not willing to register the elderly and children at all.

"Also, tell them that minors under the age of [-] in Luoyang County will not have to pay taxes in the future, but children over three years old will have a share in the land distribution."

Cao Chong estimated that the refugees were afraid of paying more taxes, so he asked people to convey the content of the New Deal to the refugees in detail.

Cao Chong had been working outside for a day, and when he returned to the county government office in the evening, he found Kong Rong waiting for him at the county government office, along with other members of the Ministry of Rites.

"Young master, why are you obsessed with obsession? I'm sorry I can't agree to teaching the refugees!" Kong Rong didn't show any courtesy to Cao Chong, and directly questioned Cao Chong angrily when they met.

"Kong Shangshu, running schools and literacy classes is the top priority of Luoyang's New Deal, and it is impossible to change." Don't talk about you Kong Rong, even if Lao Cao is here, Cao Chong will continue to do this matter openly and secretly.

"Since the young master insists on this, please allow me to resign!" Kong Rong saw that Cao Chong was determined not to change, so he resigned.

"Young master, please agree to my resignation!" A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites behind Kong Rong also said in unison.

Cao Chong turned around and told the yamen servant behind him, "Let someone from Si Nong Temple settle the salary for Kong Shangshu and everyone."

Then he bowed to Kong Rong and said, "Luoyang is just a small county, so it's really aggrieved for Kong Shaofu to stay here!"

Kong Rong and a group of his subordinates were going to resign. Cao Chong had expected it a long time ago, so he was waiting for them.

Cao Chong knew that no matter what conditions he offered, Kong Rong would never agree to help him teach refugees. This was not just a matter of cognition and identity.

Even if Cao Chong brainwashed Kong Rong to change his position, Kong Rong didn't have the guts to help Cao Chong.

He is a celebrity in the world, and his fame is not for nothing. If he dares to teach the refugees literacy, he will be cast aside by all the gentry and literati immediately.

Cao Chong waved his sleeves lightly, leaving Kong Rong's group stunned, and turned back to Houya by himself.

Anyway, you have to save a sentence!

How can I say that I, Kong Rong, am also the successor of Confucius, a great Confucian of the generation, and a celebrity in the world!
After returning to the back house, Diao Chan, Zhen Mi and Wen Jiao are all there, great!
"Your six volumes have become five volumes now?" Wen Jiao seemed to be gloating.

"Husband, I heard Wenjiao said that Young Master Kong's mansion is waiting for you in the yamen, and she said she was going to resign, you?" Diao Chan asked worriedly.

"Oh, I've already resigned, and his subordinates in the Ministry of Rites quit. Just like Wen Jiao said, there are only five departments in Luoyang now." Cao Chong said indifferently.

"Brother, Kong Rong has a very high reputation, this will hurt your reputation, and I'm afraid no one will come here in the future..." Zhen Mi also looked worried.

"Don't worry, a Kong Rong can't affect the young master, nor can it affect the Luoyang New Deal. Besides, he resigned from office, what can I do?"

Cao Chong comforted the two, then turned to Wen Jiao and said, "What do you mean by your calm face? Can't you care and comfort me a little?"

Wen Jiao rolled his eyes at him: "Hmph! A Kong Rong really doesn't have much influence on Luoyang, but if you keep messing around, more people will resign, and your six books will probably be gone soon."

"Don't be afraid, as long as your household department is still there, I can implement the new policy."

As Cao Chong said, he leaned in front of Wenjiao, and said pitifully to Wenjiao: "Sister Wenjiao, I rely entirely on you now, you can't abandon me!"

Wen Jiao blushed instantly, stood up angrily and wanted to leave: "It's already this time, you still have the mind to play!"

"Hey, don't be angry! Come on, sit down and talk, I'll make you tea!" Cao Chong immediately courted Wen Jiao.

"Don't smile, let me tell you something serious. The last time you arranged for Xue Qi and Deng Hui to enter the household department, Liu Ba was very unhappy. Coupled with today's incident, I guess Liu Ba also has the intention of leaving."
