    The news that Liu Cong wanted to establish Xiangyang Academy spread like a gust of wind. Of course, this was inseparable from the Tianwang camp's encouragement.

    In an instant, everyone from north to south, inside and outside the Great Wall, and every corner of the Han Dynasty was aware of it.

    In just one month, hundreds of students flooded into Xiangyang City.  Among them were children from aristocratic families, some from poor families, and even some children from wealthy businessmen.

    Xiangyang Academy recruits students based only on their talent and learning, regardless of their background. Naturally, it attracted many people.  Moreover, the three deans of the academy, Sima Hui, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, were all highly respected people during this period, and their influence was no less than that of Zheng Xuan, Kong Rong and others before.

    On the day when Xiangyang Academy was established, the whole city was bustling with activity.

    The academy is located in the northeast corner of Xiangyang City. In the past, this area was relatively depressed and far away from the main street and the Prefectural Shepherd's Office.  Liu Cong liked this place because it was clean, had a good environment and was suitable for studying.

    There are some houses, but they are older and somewhat dilapidated, and they belong to the Cai family.  When Liu Cong proposed to buy it to build an academy, Cai Xi, the head of the Cai family, gave it to Liu Cong without saying a word.

    Since his wife Cai Yu became pregnant, Liu Cong intentionally supported the Cai family, which allowed the Cai family to revive when it was about to decline. Cai Xi was naturally grateful to Liu Cong.

    The renovation of the academy was carried out entirely in accordance with Liu Cong's design. The Prefectural Mufu Government paid for it and the Cai family was responsible for the construction.  It started long ago after the Chinese New Year this year and is now completed as scheduled.

    Under the leadership of Ma Liang, the officials of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion were busy for several days, and all preparations were in place.

    Liu Cong, accompanied by Pang Tong, Ma Liang and other officials, came to the academy. Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan and other three people greeted him at the entrance of the academy.  There are already a huge crowd of students from all over the surrounding area.

    "I've met Mr. Zhou Mu!"

    When the three of them saw Liu Cong and others approaching, they raised their hands and saluted.

    ¡°Three deans, thank you for your hard work!¡± Liu Cong immediately returned the favor.

    ¡°It¡¯s not hard, the officials of the State Animal Husbandry Office have prepared everything for us!¡±

    "See you, sir!"

    Seeing Liu Cong standing on the high platform at the entrance of the academy, all the students bowed and saluted.

    ¡°Students, please excuse me!¡± Liu Cong waved to everyone.

    Everyone stood up.

    At this time, a student took a step forward.

    "Lord Zhou Mu, I am Wang Kai of Jinyang. I heard that Xiangyang Academy was established and that the presidents are three highly respected gentlemen, so I came here because of its reputation. However, after seeing the scene here, I don't understand something. I hope Lord Zhou Mu can clear up my confusion.  !" As soon as Wang Kai spoke, all the scholars looked here, with expressions of admiration on their faces.

    Although Liu Cong is also very young, he is a prince after all, and everyone will naturally look up to him.  But Wang Kai was calm and calm.

    ¡°If you have any doubts, it¡¯s okay to ask!¡± Liu Cong said with a smile.

    "Master Zhou Mu, students from Xiangyang Academy will definitely be officials from various places in Jingzhou in the future. Therefore, they must be people with both ability and political integrity, noble character, and profound knowledge. But looking at it today, I am greatly disappointed. The students who came here are not  There are not many talented people from aristocratic families, but most of them are commoners on the farm and greedy merchants. If they enter the academy, wouldn't it be a mixed bag of good and bad? In the future, won't the officials in Jingzhou mostly be people who eat nothing and are servile! My lord, you have not thought  Have you passed?"

    After Wang Kai finished speaking, some children from aristocratic families agreed.  However, many children from poor families were very angry and showed evil in their eyes.

    "Is this student a descendant of the Wang family in Jinyang?" Liu Cong asked.

    "Exactly!"

    "Then let me ask you, was the Wang family a noble family before General Wang Jian?"

    "this¡­¡­"

    "Without Shang Yang's reform, General Wang Jian would have no status in the Qin State even though he had military merits! Then there would be no Jinyang Wang family today. Therefore, the glory of the Wang family was achieved by General Wang Jian's sword and spear!  All aristocratic families are the same. Tracing back to their roots, most of them are from poor families. It is just because their ancestors used their talents to earn their family fortune. Therefore, there is no distinction between high and low for anyone. The children of aristocratic families have people with both ability and political integrity, and those from poor families  There are also among the children! Among the children from poor families, there are servile disciples, people who deceive the world and steal reputations, and there are also children from aristocratic families! In Xiangyang Academy, those who are virtuous and talented will be welcomed, while those who are not virtuous and talented will be rejected!"

    After Liu Cong finished speaking, many students showed excited expressions on their faces.

    "Lord Zhou Mu, I am Yingchuan Chen Yu. What you say is not unreasonable. But from what I can see, your important ministers are all children of aristocratic families. The foundation of Jingzhou was also laid for you by them. But now, sirXiangyang Academy recruited many students from poor families.  They will definitely become officials in Jingzhou in the future. Wouldn't this chill the hearts of your important ministers?  "

    After Chen Yu finished speaking, all the students looked at Ma Liang, Pang Tong and other Jingzhou officials behind Liu Cong.

    "Sir, do you think that Pang Shiyuan, Ma Jichang and others are my ministers in Jingzhou because of their status as a noble family? Wrong! It's because of their noble character and talents in the world! The Chen family of Yingchuan is also everyone  , rich in resources, do you think you are not as talented as the children from a humble family?" Liu Cong has already guessed Chen Yu's identity, "Chen Qun, Xun Yu and others are all children of the Yingchuan family. They are now extremely popular. What do they rely on?  ? Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai came from poor families, and they were trusted by Cao Cao, so what do they rely on?"

    "Talent and learning!"

    Almost all the students said in unison.

    "Yes, as long as you have talent, learning, and good character, jobs in Jingzhou are waiting for you, no matter what your status is? You have no virtue or talent, and you are unwilling to learn and make progress. No matter what your family background is, leave as soon as possible. Jingzhou does not raise waste.  !¡±

    After hearing these words of Liu Cong, all the students applauded.

    "Students, if you want to be your wife and son, you must make meritorious deeds. And if you want to make meritorious deeds, you must study hard. With three great talents, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, and Huang Chengyan, as deans, don't you have the confidence to learn to be full of talents?  "

    "Yes!" They all said in unison again.

    "Xiangyang Academy learns from the strengths of many schools of thought and allows a hundred schools of thought to contend. Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, military strategism, Mohism, etc. can all be learned."

    When the students heard this, they all started talking.

    Great Han, since Dong Zhongshu deposed a hundred schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, who dares to say that a hundred schools of thought can contend!

    Of course, other theories have also been developing secretly for a long time.  Especially in troubled times, the military strategists and Mohists played an increasingly important role. Many students studied in private, but the resources were too scarce.  Now that the conditions are in place, many people are excited.

    "The academy has just been established, so there are currently very few books of all kinds, but I assure you that within one year at most, the books will satisfy every student!"

    "Thank you, Mr. Zhou Mu!"

    "The admissions of the college will be decided by the three deans. I have two words for all the students. I hope you will remember it!"
