Chapter 112 10. The Truth of Famous Comments

Runan is about six or seven hundred miles southeast of Luoyang.It passes through Yongning, crosses Luoshui, passes through Yiyang, bypasses the southwestern foot of Shenyuan Mountain, and then passes through Xiangcheng, Yexian, and the ancient city to reach Runan. Along the way, it can be said that you can visit the mountains and rivers to see the ancient city. This is a good golden tourist route.Cao Cao took this road and became familiar with the terrain along the way.In the future, Cao Cao chose this path to welcome Emperor Xiandi Liu Xie from the dilapidated Luoyang to Xudu to settle down.

"There is no one in the court who does not want to be an official, and there is no name in the wild and no education."Xu Shao, who was engaged in the Yuedan Review in Runan, was no ordinary person. He came from a family of scholar-bureaucrats.His grandfather was Xu Jing, and Xu Jing's son was named Xu Xun. Both Xu Xun and Xu Jing became Sangongs, and even Xu Xun's son Xu Xiang later became Sangongs. Xu Shao couldn't understand Xu Xiang's fawning over eunuchs, and his discord with his cousin Xu Jing, coupled with the bad environment, he resigned from the Imperial Academy and returned to his hometown, Runan Pingyu, in a fit of rage.Losing his job as a professor at Taixue, Xu Shao had to survive, so he opened a private school to teach and teach.In addition to teaching, do some monthly reviews on the sideline of "matching people".

The wind of "party ban" is still there, and Xu Shao dare not touch the fragile nerves of the court.In order to avoid taboo, only historical figures were discussed at the beginning.But it can't stop many scholars and students from all over the country who want to use Xu Shao's words to become famous.They brought gifts to visit Xu Shao, and asked Xu Shao to evaluate himself, to see where he could develop in the future, or what he could do. This is different from fortune-telling. The person being judged needs to chat with Xu Shao for about an hour, and tell Xu Shao about his wishes and dreams, likes, dislikes, shortcomings, etc., and then Xu Shao can draw a conclusion people evaluation.

But Xu Shao suffered from more and more people coming to visit, which not only affected his teaching, but also disturbed his daily life, so he only received visitors on the first day of every month. And there are only eight places per month.After each evaluation of eight interviewees, everyone's comments must be announced that night, and the scholars rushed to spread the comments of the interviewees. There are eight places per month, and thousands of people come from all over the country?People consciously line up in order, and the furthest one has been queued ten years later.Where can the people who are waiting for evaluation afford to wait?Those who are two or three years old can still wait, but those who are five or six years old should simply go home first, do what they should do, and wait until the time for their own evaluation comes, and then come on time.

If the waiting time is not long, it is also a good way to simply stay and study under Xu Shao's family, and wait while learning.Could it be that Xu Shao made Yuedan Ping, which was so popular on purpose, directly became his private school, with a huge number of students. Cao Cao didn't know that Xu Shao's Yuedan commentary was so popular, and he went all the way to watch the flowers climb the mountains and sing the mountains, but waiting for his visit was almost a waste of time. Not long ago, Yang Biao recommended Xu Shao to the imperial court, but Xu Shao's "derivatives" of the cultural industry were really famous all over the world, and the wealth brought by reviewers from all over the world every day made Xu Shao Live freely and freely, and no longer want to live with your head up.

Besides, if Xu Shao wanted to leave, the scholars who followed him would not agree, as well as those who relied on Xu Shao's private education and "Yuedan Ping" to open hotels, teahouses, singers, and jugglers Wouldn't those who work with media outlets, those who sell side dishes, and those who fry dry goods all lose their jobs?Those who waited for a review were even less likely to agree. Xu Shao finally once again deeply realized that "people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." Close to Pingyu.Cao Cao saw a few people carrying carts, horses and luggage on their shoulders, and they were going to join Xu Shao's private school.Go with them.

When they came to Pingyu, Cao Cao and the others thought they had found the wrong place. The entire small county town of Pingyu was full of people and horses.There are many shops on the street, the city's merchants are busy with business, and the hawkers along the street are very lively.Young people in groups of three or five were walking along the road, carrying one or several scrolls of bamboo slips under their armpits on their way. Even Luoyang Taixue was not so lively. Pingyu County is more lively, relaxed and free, as well as the popularity and academic atmosphere here, which made Cao Cao's eyes shine.

Relying on cultural celebrities to drive the local economy, Pingyu has become a "consumer-oriented" city. Cao Cao and fellow traveler Yan Bing stayed in a small inn called "Ke Lai Yi". The accommodation fee was ten kuai per night and three meals per meal, a total of 16 kuai a day. Cao Cao looked at his wallet, and found that he could only stay for half a month at most, and he had to leave travel expenses to go home.When Cao Cao heard from Ke Laiyi's staff that Xu Shao only evaluates eight people every month, he was shocked and shouted: Eight?Then I wait until the year of the monkey?

The guy curled his lips: Everyone is waiting in line. Cao Cao shouted: "Then you quickly serve me a meal, I have to rush to line up." The guy saw that Cao Cao was a newcomer and didn't understand anything.He just wiped his own table, and said slowly to Cao Cao: "It's useless to be anxious, some people have waited for ten years." Cao Cao's head buzzed, it seemed that the trip was going to be wasted.Press your heart and ask the buddy: Huh?ten years?What is a good way? The guy smiled contemptuously: A good way?Just pay the money, arrange a number and go home and wait. When the time comes, just come on time.

Cao Cao curled his lips and played with his chopsticks: Come on time?I don't even know where I will be ten years from now. Cao Cao felt depressed, stopped talking, rested after eating, and planned to leave the room early tomorrow morning and go to Yuan Shao's house. Early the next morning, Yan Wei came to ask Cao Cao to go to Xu Shao's private school together.He wanted to sign up for school, so he advised Cao Cao not to leave in a hurry, since he came all the way, he might as well take a look. Why was Cao Cao shocked when he came to Xu Shao's private school?
