When Zhang Yu arrived at the Academy, he saw that there were people inside and outside.
In addition to limiting the number of students in the classroom, the library is also full of people, and many students can only read outside the college by borrowing books.
Or a lot of students are waiting for their friends to bring notes out for them to learn.
"Ha ha, so many" overseas students "are all talents in the world. Some of them can be used by me. It won't be long before I have a shortage of talents." Zhang Yu was shocked by the situation of the Academy.
He didn't go to see some big guys debate because there were too many people and they didn't have time.
Zhang Yu turned around and came back, because he had nothing to do.
After Zhang Yu came back, he asked people to prepare to expand the college, which must accommodate more people.
At this time, some of the representatives of the major vassals had already returned to their own territory.
As soon as Cheng Yu went back, he followed Cao Ren and others to see Cao Cao.
Cao Cao also waited for a long time.
"Thank you for your hard work. Please sit down." Cao Cao came out in person to welcome them. After he welcomed them in, he asked them to sit down and have a rest.
After everyone sat down and took a slow breath, Cao Cao said, "I've learned something about Jiangdong through your letters. I didn't expect that this chapter is so complicated."
Cheng Yu said: "Lord, Zhang Yu is more than simple. This move has attracted talents from all over the world to use for him. With his ability to make money, we can't underestimate it. Zhang Yu wants money, money and people. We must pay attention to it."
Cao Ren then said: "Lord, if Jiangdong can manufacture weapons on a large scale, Zhang Yu doesn't need many soldiers. However, Zhang Yu seems to prefer to be a rich man. He doesn't mean to invade other places. Otherwise, who is his enemy in Yangzhou?"
"Today, let's study some policies of Zhang Yu. Intuitively speaking, and from my several contacts with him, Zhang Yu is definitely not the kind of person who muddles along. He has great ambition. Although he is far away, we should pay enough attention to it." Said Cao Cao.
Cheng Yu said: "my Lord, Zhang Yu is far sighted. According to his subordinates' speculation, Zhang Yu has not been expanding to the outside world. I'm afraid it's the talents who are limited. If there are not enough talents, it's a problem for him to go to the next place. But now Jiangdong academy has been able to absorb a large number of talents, I'm afraid he can solve the talent problem in a short time. "
Cao Cao pondered for a while and said, "can we, like Zhang Yu, set up academies and recruit students for our use?"
Several people were silent for a while and then said: "Lord, of course, but the effect is limited. At least we can't absorb foreign students, we can only cultivate our own students, and the scale can't be as big as Zhang Yu."
Zhang Yu's Jiangdong academy, before there were no large-scale foreign students, had more than 1000 students studying there at the same time.
In today's famous academies, at most dozens of people study together, which is quite a big gap.
"To do it, we must try it first, otherwise we will never be able to do it. Even if we are provided with several or dozens of talents every year, it is worth investing." Said Cao Cao.
Cheng Yu, however, has thoroughly investigated the situation of Jiangdong, and he said: "Lord, I'm afraid it's not so simple. According to his subordinates' understanding, Zhang Yu has set up county schools in many counties, which are called primary colleges in Jiangdong. There are hundreds of children studying in each college, and some children who are good at learning are recruited by Zhang Yu and continue to study in Jiangdong college, that is, Jiangdong college."
"In this way, Zhang Yu's education has become a system. Even without foreign talents, he can cultivate many talents every year. According to my preliminary understanding, there are tens of thousands of children studying in primary colleges, and hundreds of them enter Jiangdong college every day. The scale is still expanding. "
After listening to Cao Cao's silence, Zhang Yu has been working hard for several years to establish a talent strategy.
"Alas, it's no wonder that Zhang Yu dares to offend all the aristocratic families and occupy a place. All those who refuse to accept will be destroyed. He has his own talents. Zhang Yu has no place to be controlled by others." Cao Cao sighed after a moment's silence.
However, Cao Cao decided to establish his own Academy.
"Although it's too late, we have to build our own academies and cultivate our own talents. What suggestions do you have?" Said Cao Cao.
Cao Ren said: "mengde, to establish an academy, we just need books and teachers. Let's invite some old men out of the mountain and recruit a group of students. As long as we promise that we can work in the government after we have completed our studies, I believe it's not difficult to recruit students."
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said: "it's not so simple. Books are easy to do, but we have to go to Jiangdong to buy them. Only Jiangdong's books can let us set up a huge library. Although there are hundreds of books on the market, it's not enough. Many books are only available in Jiangdong."
Cheng Yu knows that Zhang Yu's education system is not so simple, with students, teachers and books.
There are many subjects and talents in Jiangdong academy that are not available in other places.
Cheng Yu once again made a statement to Cao Cao. After a long silence, Cao Cao said, "it seems that the investment in education can't be achieved easily. In this way, doesn't Zhang Yu have to invest tens of millions of dollars or more every year?"
After thinking about it, he said, "Zhong De, I'll have to trouble you in a few days. If you go to Jiangdong again, our academy must be set up."
Cao Cao is a decisive person. He can't build a system like Jiangdong. However, as long as he goes out of many things, Cheng Yu can't have a deep understanding. Zhang Yu's whole system has been running for many years, and there must be a lot to learn.
At the same time, Cao Cao said, "let's select another group of family children to go to Jiangdong academy to study, say hello to Zhang Yu, and I'll write a letter to him. I believe it's all right."
If you want to learn, you should learn thoroughly, not just from appearances.
Cao Cao is very different from others. First, he is determined in his work. Second, he attaches importance to talents.
Seeing that Zhang Yu recruited so many talents at once, he immediately became red eyed.
At the same time, he also saw the benefits of Zhang Yu's doing so.
In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was the only one to employ the children of poor families on a large scale, which was resisted by many aristocratic families. However, in the end, Cao Cao strongly promoted the appointment of talents.
Now seeing that Zhang Yu has such a good model, he naturally has to learn.
