Three Kingdoms: Summon the Black-robed Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao at the beginning

Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Ma Ridi, Xun Shuang, Cai Yong, Qiao Xuan, it can be said that as long as you become a disciple of any of them, you can be considered superior in the literary circle in the future. Many children of wealthy families will also choose to worship great Confucian scholars as their teachers, mainly for the purpose of gilding.

The reason why they can take the initiative to find Wang Yao is not only because of the papermaking technique that Wang Yao led people to improve, but the key is that Wang Yao announced the method of making papermaking soon after he released the improved paper.

Compared to the wealth obtained by selling paper as a commodity, the reputation of being famous all over the world is more important.

If paper is used as a commodity, it is necessary to build workshops on a large scale and to open up relationships between the upper and lower levels, especially the current emperor Liu Hong and the Ten Eunuchs, who are even more greedy. In addition, other nobles will also stare at it like wolves and be coveted by the world.

It seems to be a road to great wealth and honor, but in fact, according to the current situation, it is difficult to move forward.

The wealth of the Wang family in Taiyuan was not enough to monopolize the papermaking technique. Moreover, although Wang Qi had a high status in the Wang family, he was not the head of the family, and he did not have the final say in the family.

Secondly, he was an official in Yangzhou, and the Wang family's roots were far away in Bingzhou. Even if the family sent reinforcements, they could not arrive in a short time. The gentry in the Central Plains were eyeing them covetously, and the local gentry in Yangzhou was intertwined and close to the water.

If paper was used as a commodity for profit, in the eyes of the world's literati, Wang Yao was just a creative and mercenary person.

If it was announced that the gentry, the poor, and the powerful had mastered the papermaking technique, it would not have any impact on the situation of all parties, but in the eyes of the great scholars and the majority of readers, Wang Yao's status and reputation would be greatly improved.

A genius boy, talented, selfless, caring about the world, a model of literati.

In the Han Dynasty, under the system of recommendation, reputation was an important condition for being recruited as an official. Many people had to create their own personalities and then promote their families.

Kong Rong gave away his pears and Lu Ji carried oranges, which are typical examples of promotion.

Given the family background of Kong Rong and Lu Ji, pears and oranges were not rare items for them. They could eat them until they vomited.

The key is that they did things that reflected filial piety and brotherhood, established their personalities, promoted their families, and spread their reputations, which would open up their careers.

In fact, for many related deeds, subsequent promotion is the core.

The way of recommending officials by recommending filial and honest officials has become rotten. There is even a nursery rhyme circulating among the people: "If you recommend a scholar, he will not know how to read; if you recommend a filial and honest official, his father will live separately."

After Wang Yao read these letters, the contents were actually similar. The key lies in his own choice.

Anyway, my main purpose is to gild myself, and I don’t really intend to work hard on Confucianism, so it doesn’t matter who I go to.

“Dad, do you and mother have any suggestions?”

Although I have heard of these people’s names, I don’t know much about the details, so it’s safer to consult my parents’ opinions.

Wang Qi put down his brush: “From what I know, these masters are not worth mentioning.There is no problem, but your mother still hopes that you can choose Ciming, after all, she is a member of her family, and she will be taken care of when you go there. "

"Well, then let's do as your mother wishes."

It's not bad to go to Yingchuan to study with Xun Shuang, and there are many talented people in Ruying, so it's not bad to develop a social circle there.

"Okay, I will reply to them right away, and when I settle the affairs in Yangzhou, I will send you to Yingchuan in the spring of next year. Also, remember to tell your mother."

"Well, I'll take my leave. ”

After Wang Yao left the study, he walked towards the courtyard where Xun Yuan was.

As soon as he approached, he heard the melodious sound of the piano.

As a lady from a noble family, Xun Yuan was naturally well-educated and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Wang Yao walked into the courtyard, and Xun Yuan saw him and stopped his father.

"Axing, is the morning class over today?"

"Yes, I practiced sword and read books."

"Come, come, sit down quickly. ”

Xun Yuan pulled Wang Yao and sat beside her.

The governor’s mansion was equipped with chairs. The emperor of today likes Hu beds and Hu stools, so it is not surprising that the ministers’ homes are equipped with some.

It is easy to find a craftsman to make suitable tables and chairs, but when meeting guests, in order to be formal, you still have to kneel down. After all, due to the times, it is impossible to correct it in a short time.

But compared to kneeling, chairs are indeed comfortable, so they are used daily by their own people.

Some familiar guests came to visit, and after seeing them, they felt comfortable. It was not in accordance with etiquette to the outside world, but of course they did it as they were comfortable to the inside, so they learned it.

Xun Yuan asked with concern: "Why did Ah Xing come to see Ah Mu? Are you going out to play and don’t have enough money?"

"Of course not." Wang Yao shook his head: "I am here to talk about learning from a master."

"Oh, that matter, which master did Ah Xing choose? ”

Although Xun Yuan hoped that Wang Yao would choose Xun Shuang, she was still very open-minded. If Wang Yao insisted on choosing someone else, she would not stop him.

Wang Yao's answer did not disappoint Xun Yuan.

"Mother, I decided to study under Mr. Xun in Yingchuan. My father said that he would send me there in the spring of next year."

Being a disciple is a big deal. As a father, Wang Qi naturally had to bring his son to the door in person. However, he had just taken over the post of governor of Yangzhou not long ago, and it would take some time to settle various affairs.

"Okay, when you go to Mr. Xun's place, you must study hard and don't lose your ambition."

"I understand. I have never fallen behind in my studies. ”

Time flies, winter goes and spring comes.

Spring of the fifth year of Xiping (176 AD)

Wang Qi temporarily handed over the affairs of the governor's office to his chief secretary Qiao Yu, and he himself went to Yingchuan to visit Xun Shuang with Xun Yuan and Wang Yao, under the escort of a group of followers.

Qiao Yu was the son of Qiao Xuan. He had a friendship with Wang Qi and was later recruited by Wang Qi and regarded as a confidant.

The governor's entourage was stillQuite a few, and they were heading to the heart of the Central Plains, where there weren't many bandits who dared to be so bold.

Half a month later, they finally arrived at Yingyin County, where the Xun family was.

In front of the Xun Mansion, the governor came to visit, and the people of the Xun family naturally had to go out to greet him.

"We pay our respects to Governor Wang."

"No need to be polite."

Wang Xi and his group immediately returned the greeting.

"Mr. Xun, how are you doing lately?" Wang Qi pulled Wang Yao out: "This is my son Wang Yao, why don't you come and meet me, sir."

Wang Yao bowed: "Student Wang Yao, meet me, Mr. Xun."

"Haha." Xun Shuang's body was still strong: "I'm fine, little Wang Yao, no need to be polite, Zixian (Wang Qi), don't stand in front of the door, let's go in and chat, please."

"Please."
