The protagonist of the anti-routine of the world

Chapter 396 Persuading Liu Xiu
Liu Xiu was puzzled by Li Mo's decision to send herself to a new university.

He has received traditional Confucian education since he was a child, and he is somewhat resistant to Wang Mang's new university. His brother Liu Yan also hopes that he can learn more sage classics instead of those messy things.

Although Liu Xiu has now regarded Li Mo as a first-level teacher, but he is a stubborn person by nature, and he still feels a little reluctant about Li Mo's approach.

Liu Xiu is not a person who can hide things in his heart. One night, he came to Li Mo's room to find Li Mo and expressed his inner thoughts to him.

……

"So, you don't want to go to a new university?"

"Yes, sir, please think carefully about it. Liu Xiu came to Chang'an to study. Liu Xiu dare not live up to his brother's expectation and entrustment."

Liu Xiu bent down and saluted Li Mo.

"Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, what should I say about you, isn't it possible to study in a new university?"

Li Mo grabbed Liu Xiu's shoulder and said to him earnestly.

"Liu Xiu, as your teacher, can I still harm you? Do you really think that studying hard in the school is good?"

"But, teacher, it is said that this new university was created by Wang Mang on a whim, and it will be banned in a short time. If I want to study in such a place, it is difficult to guarantee my future studies." Liu Xiu Said his concerns.

"You don't have to worry about this. As far as I know, Wang Mang has devoted a lot of effort to the new-style university. He even sent his son and women to study in the new-style university. He attaches great importance to this new-style university. I think as long as he is in office, he will continue to run this new university."

Li Mo tried to figure out Wang Mang with the thinking of modern people. Education is the top priority of a country. In this era, all educational work is in the hands of aristocratic families.

Don't underestimate the things like running a school. At this time, people are very particular about respecting teachers, and the relationship between students and teachers is very close. The appointment of state officials is usually recommended by aristocratic families, and the standard of appointment is usually one person. Aristocratic status and teacher's evaluation.

Under such circumstances, the aristocratic family controlled the personnel power of the court by recommending officials, and almost all state officials were composed of people selected by the aristocratic family. Such an approach would obviously seriously threaten the emperor's rule.

Wang Mang should have seen this point, so he is so active in building a new type of university. Wang Mang's ambition is not small. He wants to snatch the power of educating talents from the hands of the aristocratic family!
The reason why Li Mo came to the conclusion that Wang Mang would not give up the new-style university was because he felt that if Wang Mang was an ambitious person, he had no choice but to do this, and this new-style university was about the emperor. How many people are waiting to see him laugh at the matter of face, even if it is to maintain his dignity, Wang Mang will definitely try his best to make it a success.

……

"Okay, sir, I'll listen to you."

After hearing so much from Li Mo, Liu Xiu finally reluctantly nodded out of respect and admiration for Li Mo.

However, his expression was still very sad, and he still didn't know whether his decision to go to the new university was right or wrong.

"Liu Xiu, don't be so unhappy. I heard that there are special agricultural courses in the new university. After you enter, you can learn the skills of farming from the teacher."

Seeing that Liu Xiu was still reluctant, Li Mo had no choice but to resort to his last trump card. He knew that Liu Xiu was keen on farming. If you told him that he could learn farming techniques in the new university, he would definitely be interested. .

Sure enough, when Li Mo told Liu Xiu that he could learn how to farm in the new-style university, Liu Xiu's eyes lit up immediately. In Liu Xiu's impression, the school taught all the classics of the sages, and he never I never thought that there would be a school dedicated to teaching people to farm!
"Sir, is this true? Can I really learn how to farm there?" Liu Xiu still couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true. Would I still lie to you? However, if you want to enter a new university, you still need to pass the entrance exam. I'll give you a surprise tutoring session in the past few days. It shouldn't be a big problem to pass the exam."

Li Mo understood that the entrance exams for new universities are all about basic arithmetic, common sense of physics and chemistry, these may be difficult for people in this era, but in Li Mo's era, they were all things that elementary school students could master. .

With the guidance of a modern person like Li Mo, as long as Liu Xiu is not too stupid to be saved, he should be able to pass the entrance examination.

"Then thank you sir!"

Liu Xiu once again saluted Li Mo respectfully.

After knowing that he could continue to study his farming techniques in the new university, Liu Xiu began to look forward to his future studies.

Liu Xiu exited Li Mo's room, and almost as soon as he left, Liu Boji came in with a basin filled with hot water.

"Brother Li, I've brought you hot water."

After Li Mo came to Chang'an, he used to soak his feet in hot water before going to bed every day, so Liu Boji would come over at a fixed time every night to deliver hot water to Li Mo.

"Oh, put it there, I'll wash it right away."

Li Mo's attention was all on the book in his hands. In order to be able to teach Liu Xiu, he himself needed to catch up on the knowledge and writing of this era.

"Liu Boji, what are you doing?"

Li Mo raised his head and was surprised to see Liu Boji squatting down and reaching out to take off Li Mo's shoes and socks, as if he wanted to wash Li Mo's feet.

"Brother Li, let me wash your feet for you."

Liu Xiu has changed her name to Li Mo as Mr. Liu, but Liu Boji, who is Liu Xiu's younger sister, still stubbornly calls Li Mo "Brother Li".

"No need, you are not my maid, you don't need to do these things."

Li Mo withdrew his feet back. He was a big man and asked a teenage girl to bathe him. Li Mo always felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Li, have you forgotten what I promised you? You saved the lives of me and my brother, and I will serve you like an ox for the rest of my life. My father taught me to keep my promise since I was a child. I can't break my promise." .”

Liu Boji grabbed Li Mo's foot and forced it into the hot water basin.

Although Liu Boji is not very old, she has a very stubborn temper. During the past few days with her, Li Mo has also seen that this little girl has "bad intentions" towards her, but Li Mo is really hard to treat her. What kind of thoughts does this "primary school student" age person have.

It seems that I have to find a way to get Liu Boji away from me.

Li Mo heard that Wang Mang's new university seems to recruit female students.

"Liu Boji, I think you should go to the new university with Liu Xiu." Li Mo said after thinking about it.
