Chapter 509: Cao Cao also wants to run an academy
When Zhang Yu arrived at the academy, he saw that there were people inside and outside the academy.
In addition to the limited number of students in the classroom, the library was also full of people, and there were many students who could only be outside the academy and borrowed books to read outside.
Or a lot of students are waiting for their friends to come in and bring them notes out so that they can study.
"Haha, so many 'international students' are all talents in the world, and some of them can be used by me, and it won't be long before I don't lack talents." Zhang Yu looked at the situation in the academy and froze.
He didn't get to see a few bigwigs debating because there were so many people and they weren't available.
Zhang Yu came back after a turn, because he had nothing to do.
After Zhang Yu came back from a circle, he asked people to prepare to expand the academy, which had to accommodate more people.
At this time, some of the representatives of the major princes had already returned to their own territory after the investigation.
As soon as Cheng Yu went back, before the wind and dust went, he followed Cao Ren and others to see Cao Cao in a hurry.
Cao Cao also waited for a long time.
"It's been a lot of hard work, please take a seat." Cao Cao personally came out to greet them, and after welcoming them in, he let them sit down and rest.
Everyone sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, Cao Cao said: "I have already learned about the affairs of Jiangdong through your letters, but I didn't expect this Zhang Yu to be so simple." ”
Cheng Yu said: "Lord, this Zhang Yu is not simple, this trick has attracted the world's talents for his use at once, plus his ability to make money, it can no longer be underestimated, Zhang Yu wants money and money, and there are people, we must pay attention to it." ”
Cao Ren continued: "Lord, if this Jiangdong can manufacture weapons on a large scale, Zhang Yu is not how many soldiers and horses he wants, but Zhang Yu seems to prefer to be a rich man and has no intention of invading other places, otherwise who is his opponent in Yangzhou." ”
"Let everyone come today, just to study some of Zhang Yu's policies, intuitively speaking, and I have been in contact with him a few times, Zhang Yu is definitely not the kind of person who can get by, he has huge ambitions, although the distance is still far away, but we have to pay enough attention to it." Cao Cao said.
Cheng Yu said: "My lord, Zhang Yu can be described as far-sighted, according to the speculation of his subordinates, Zhang Yu has not expanded externally, I am afraid that what is restricted is talent, there are not enough talents, and it will be a trouble for him to go down to the next place." But now that Jiangdong Academy has been able to absorb a large number of talents, I am afraid that he can solve the talent problem in a short time. ”
Cao Cao pondered and said, "Can we also be like Zhang Yu, establish an academy, recruit students, and use them for us?" ”
Several people were silent for a while and then said: "Lord, of course we can, but I'm afraid 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 already had more than 1,000 students studying there at the same time before there were no large-scale foreign students.
And in some famous academies today, there are at most dozens of people studying together, which is quite a big difference.
"Do it, you have to try to do it first, otherwise it will never be done, even if you provide us with a few or dozens of talents every year, it is worth investing." Cao Cao said.
Cheng Yu has inspected the situation in Jiangdong in depth, and he said: "Lord, I'm afraid it's not that simple, according to the understanding of his subordinates, Zhang Yu has run county schools in many counties, called primary colleges in Jiangdong, and there are hundreds of children studying in each college, and some children who study well are recruited by Zhang Yu and enter the higher college, that is, Jiangdong College to continue studying. ”
In this way, Zhang Yu's education has become a system, even if there are no foreign talents, he can cultivate many talents by himself every year. The subordinates initially understood that there are tens of thousands of children studying in the elementary college today, and hundreds of people enter the Jiangdong Academy every day, and the scale is still expanding. ”
Cao Cao was silent after hearing this, so calculated, Zhang Yu has been intensively cultivating for several years, and has established a set of talent strategies early.
"Alas, no wonder Zhang Yu dares to offend all the families, occupy one place, all the families who are not satisfied will be destroyed, there are their own talents, Zhang Yu has no place to be controlled by others." Cao Cao sighed after being silent for a while.
However, Cao Cao decided to establish his own academy.
"Although it is late, we also want to establish our own academy and cultivate our own talents, what do you suggest?" Cao Cao said.
Cao Ren said: "Mengde, to establish a academy, nothing more than to need books and gentlemen, we will invite some old gentlemen to go out of the mountain, and recruit a group of students, as long as they promise, after completing their studies, they can serve in the government, I believe it is not difficult to recruit students." ”
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said: "It's not that simple, books are easy to do, but you still have to go to Jiangdong to buy, only Jiangdong's books can allow us to set up a huge library building, although there are already hundreds of books on the market that can be bought, but this is far from enough, many books are only available in Jiangdong." ”
Cheng Yu knows that Zhang Yu's education system is not so simple, as long as there are students, teachers and books.
Jiangdong Academy also has many disciplines that are not available in other places, and talents that are not available in other places.
Cheng Yu stated to Cao Cao again, and Cao Cao was silent for a while before saying: "It seems that the investment in this education is not easy to do, so if you calculate it, Zhang Yu will not invest tens of millions of dollars every year, or even more." ”
After thinking about it, he said: "Zhongde, I have to trouble you in a few days, and we will send an envoy to Jiangdong again, and our academy must be set up." ”
Cao Cao was a decisive person, and he couldn't build a system like Jiangdong, but as long as he took the first step, he could slowly improve it.
Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu to go to Jiangdong again, in addition to discussing with Zhang Yu to buy books, he also had to learn the entire operating system of the academy.
There are many things that Cheng Yu can't understand in depth, Zhang Yu's entire 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 members, go to Jiangdong Academy to study, say hello to Zhang Yu, and I will write a letter to him, I believe this is no problem at all." ”
If you want to learn, you have to learn thoroughly, not just learn the appearance.
Cao Cao is very different from others, one is to be decisive, and the other is to attach importance to talents.
Seeing Zhang Yu recruiting so many talents at once, he immediately turned red.
At the same time, he also saw the benefits of Zhang Yu doing this.
Historically, among the Three Kingdoms, only Cao Cao used the children of the Han family on a large scale, which was resisted by many families, but in the end, Cao Cao still strongly implemented it and appointed talents in an eclectic manner.
Now that he sees that Zhang Yu has such a good model, he naturally has to learn from it.
