"On one hand, there is a severe shortage of scholars. Back in the days, the ability to establish academies one after another on Mount Tai of Qingzhou was entirely because I had plundered the entire Yuzhou, abducting nearly all the scholars. Now, these scholars are far from enough, even if one scholar were to teach ten it still wouldn't suffice," Chen Xi said with a wry smile.
Back then, when Chen Xi took the scholars from Yuzhou, it indeed caused quite a stir, but in the end, under the repression of the Library Pavilion, the matter blew over, and an educational framework was barely established. However, as Liu Bei's territory expanded more and more, the scholars gradually became insufficient.
Chen Xi always believed that one teacher guiding five students at a time was an appropriate level. Taking on ten students already meant some are neglected, and with twenty students, it's almost as if they're left to fend for themselves.
