Chapter 433 Contest
The next day, Ouyang Shuo went to Southwest University Hall to visit Jiang Shang.
Compared with the past, the Southwest University at this time is quite different. In the campus, there was an endless stream of students coming and going. When they saw Ouyang Shuo, they all saluted slightly.
The School of Economics, the School of Gewu, the School of Architecture, the School of Business, the School of Chess, and the School of Painting each have no less than two hundred students. Especially the Institute of Economics and the Institute of Gewu have thousands of students.
The Gewu Institute, the School of Architecture and the School of Business are no longer the same as when they were first established.
Mr. Sun and the others have never been idle. They use the communication network and even forums to continuously recruit various experts and professors to teach in Southwest University.
The academic circle is a big net. With Sun Lao and more than a hundred experts as nodes, along this network, it is natural to attract endless talents.
It is no exaggeration to say that more than 10% of the top experts and scholars in China have been dragged to settle in Shanhai City. For the prosperity of Shanhai City, add bricks and tiles and add heritage.
To be able to achieve such brilliant results, apart from the relationship between Sun Lao and others, what is more important is the academic atmosphere of Shanhai City.
The first one is Shanhai City's increasingly stable position in China. At this time, Shanhai City was already the number one giant city under the nine royal cities.
Even Dichen's Handan City doesn't have the heritage and reputation of Shanhai City.
Being inclusive is Ouyang Shuo's first requirement for Shanhai City.
Zang Wenzhong, the Commander of Shanhai appointed by Ouyang Shuo, was originally an enlightened official, and he understood his intentions very well, and managed Shanhai City well.
The Southwest University Hall is the window of Shanhai City's academic world.
With the pacification of Leizhou County, a large number of students were recruited to Southwest University for further study.
Even other territories of the Shanhai League began to send scholars to the Southwest University Hall for advanced studies.
The first to open the record is Bai Hua's Consonance City.
Bai Hua knew very well that no matter how she managed it, she would not be able to manage the academy in the territory to the height of Southwest University, so she simply came up with a trick, which she called academic exchange.
Lingxi City dispatched an academic exchange group of hundreds of people to the Southwest University Hall for advanced studies. It was really "borrowing the chicken to lay eggs", using the Southwest University Hall to cultivate talents for the territory.
Of course, all of this was approved by Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo knew very well that the Southwest University Hall had developed to the extreme in its territory. To further enhance its influence, it cannot be self-preserving.
Accepting the academic exchange group of allies is a wonderful move.
The two hit it off.
With Bai Hua taking the lead, the other allies will naturally not far behind
As a result, another wave of enrollment in Southwest University was triggered.
The academic atmosphere in Shanhai City has become more and more intense because of this. After all, there is communication and there is progress.
Apart from the Southwest University Hall, even the Army Lecture Hall and Ouyang Shuo are open to the Shanhai League.
After hearing the news, Bai Hua and the others became even more excited.
Even Shanhai City is plagued by grassroots officers, not to mention other territories.
And where is the Army Lecture Hall?
The headmaster is Sun Wu, the soldier saint, and the section chiefs of the four departments of infantry, cavalry, engineering, and logistics have all been replaced by well-known soldiers. It can be said that the lineup is luxurious. The teachers equipped are also top-notch.
It is a great blessing to be able to enter the Army Lecture Hall for further study.
To Ouyang Shuo's mind, Bai Hua and the others, there is only one word of obedience.
His alliance leader is more and more worthy of the name.
Regarding this, Ouyang Shuo smiled without saying a word.
If it was said that the establishment of the Four Seas Bank branch was Ouyang Shuo's effort to strengthen the economic ties within the alliance, then the opening of the two schools was to strengthen the political and cultural ties within the alliance.
Ouyang Shuo is quietly building the Shanhai League into a whole.
However, what he did was very subtle, moistening things silently.
Thinking about his thoughts, Ouyang Shuo came to the library.
During the day, Jiang Shanglei stayed in the library unmoved. This special landlord has become a landscape of Southwest University.
"Grandfather!"
Jiang Shang nodded, his attitude was moderate, and he asked Ouyang Shuo to sit down opposite him.
"Every time Junhou comes, this old man is frightened."
This old fox, before Ouyang Shuo opened his mouth, he came to stop him.
Ouyang Shuo pretended not to understand. At this time, it is better to be thick-skinned, and said directly: "Mencius came to Shanhai City to study, and he wanted to have a big debate with Wei Yang. I want to use this as an opportunity to organize a debate meeting. To fulfill the friendship of the landlord, to restore the grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought contending."
Jiang Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, he was already a little interested, but he still didn't express his opinion.
Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to continue, "Other things are fine, but there is a lack of a person of high morals and prestige to preside over this event. I just don't know, is Grandpa willing to come out?"
If the "Grandmaster of Hundred Schools" Jiang Shang presides over the contention meeting, it will naturally add a lot of color. Some scholars who were originally swaying will also come to Shanhai City to participate in this grand event.
Jiang Shang is so smart, he is clear about Ouyang Shuo's intentions.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Shang stroked his long white beard and said, "I have one condition."
"My lord, please speak."
Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed, as long as he was willing to make a condition, he was afraid that Jiang Shang would simply refuse.
"Before the formal debate, there are two procedures that cannot be changed."
"Appreciate further details."
Ouyang Shuo was certain in his heart that he knew that Grandpa really cared about the Contest, otherwise it wouldn't be the case.
"The first procedure: reading. If you want to debate, you must first understand the views of other schools. Therefore, you must be in the library and read for more than ten days before you can participate."
"Can."
Without even thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo nodded in agreement. Isn't this just a disguised way to increase the attractiveness of Shanhai City!
"The second procedure: preaching. Various schools of thought, in the forum of hundreds of schools, expound their own views. There is a big debate with Zhengming. In the preaching part, only speeches are allowed, and debates are not allowed."
Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo looked at the grandfather with admiration. As expected of an old fox, after all, his skill is profound. The seemingly simple design is full of profound meaning.
With these two procedures, some disputes can be resolved invisibly, and there is no need for debate.
If you listen to it at the same time, you will understand that what you are talking about is this truth.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo stood up and bowed respectfully to the grandpa, "Thank you, grandpa!"
Jiang Shang smiled slightly, stroked his beard in satisfaction, and said, "A child can be taught."
Ouyang Shuo's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up and said goodbye calmly.
***********
With Jiang Shang's approval, the preparatory work for the competition officially started.
The person who took the lead was Xiao He.
Xiao He knew very well that the meaning of the Contest Conference was extraordinary.
Junhou handing over this matter to him is the greatest recognition for him.
The next day, in the name of Shanhai City, Xiao He widely distributed hero posts in the Nine Kings City.
In the hero post, Jiang Shang's name was brought out, and even the three programs designed by Jiang Shang were clearly written.
Obviously, Xiao He understood Jiang Shang's irreplaceable role in this meeting.
The hero post used the name of Shanhai City instead of the Southern Border Protectorate, Xiao He had considerations.
The Southern Border Protectorate, faintly intends to separate one side, which will inevitably arouse some people's resentment. On the contrary, Shanhai City, a city without any attributes, is the most tolerant and suitable.
Just from this small detail, Xiao He's political wisdom can be reflected.
In addition to distributing hero posts, Xiao He also planned to build a pavilion in the Southwest University Hall for the scholars or scholars who came to the conference to rest or communicate.
The name of the pavilion is Juxian Building.
Only by understanding Ouyang Shuo's profound meaning can he come up with such a name.
Ouyang Shuo's desire to hold the contest this time was not to drink. His real purpose is to continue the conference and recruit talents for Shanhai City.
It would be great if we could take the opportunity to attract two or three schools to settle in Shanhai City.
In the whole of China, except for Shanhai City, there is no such unique condition.
Once the hero post was issued, it caused waves of discussion.
The unified understanding of the players is that Marquis of Lianzhou is about to amplify his moves again.
Just now he had all the limelight in the Battle of Julu, but the Marquis of Lianzhou didn't stop, causing shocking waves on the main map. The former is Wu, otherwise it is Wen, and one Wen and one Wu complement each other.
Ordinary players can only look up to this.
No matter how dissatisfied the opponents of Shanhai City are, they can only speak bitter words, which cannot be stopped. Who said that in their territory, there is neither a master of a hundred schools, nor a library, or even a family of a hundred schools of thought?
What's more lively is actually an invisible circle.
...
Xiangyang City, an inconspicuous courtyard.
A young scholar held a hero card and pushed the door open.
In the small courtyard, a benevolent old man was holding an ancient book, reading it with great interest.
"teacher!"
The scholar came to the old man and handed over the hero card respectfully.
The old man received the hero post and said with a smile: "Okay, I just want to admire the demeanor of my grandfather."
"That?"
"Pack up and travel all the way!"
"promise!"
...
Quanzhou City, a farm on the outskirts.
A plainly dressed middle-aged man looked at the hero post in his hand with a complicated expression.
...
Jianye City, a house.
A stern middle-aged man muttered to himself: "Hey, Confucianism? It's time to end it."
On the desk not far away, there is a hero post.
...
Xianyang City.
An old man put down the scroll and smiled slightly.
"The debate between Confucianism and Legalism, the conference of contention, interesting, interesting."
...
Chengdu, a pond in the suburbs.
The same old man was fishing. On the grass not far away, there is a hero post.
...
In just a few days, the hero post sent out by Shanhai City was sent to the hands of the masters of the hundred schools in a secret way.
Scholars in the major royal cities even talked about it.
How can such a grand event be missed?
There are those who go together, and those who go alone.
Some have a learning attitude, and some have the idea of being competitive, and so on.
A small hero post, I don't know how many people's thoughts have been affected.
Shanhai City is destined to become a place where fish and dragons mix together, and there will be no peace.
