Chapter 491: The Shocked Student
Many aristocratic families also began to organize people to go to Jiangdong, all of them were attracted by the stories Zhang Yu told.
The story Zhang Yu told was Liu Bei's speculation, and it was said in a precise manner, and many people rushed to tell it that it became true.
Then, many princes also sent a large delegation to participate.
Zhang Yu made such a big commotion that these princes couldn't sit still.
Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu to lead the team with more than 20 people, including Cao Ren.
Xuzhou Liu Bei felt that it was Zhang Yu who released the news. After thinking about it, he also felt that he would go there in person.
Liu Bei decided to go there in person, but he still wanted to see Lu Zhi. It would only be useful for Lu Zhi to prove his "innocence" in person.
Even Yuan Shao, who had always been at odds with Zhang Yu, sent people there.
Lu Bu also sent someone to go.
Neighbor Yuan Shu also sent people, and Ma Teng from the far northwest also sent people to attend, as well as Gongsun Zan, and...
In short, all the princes moved, Liu Biao even sent the Kuai brothers, and Cai Mao came on his own behalf.
Zhang Yu did not expect that his invitation letter and recruitment order would not be very powerful, but the story he told shocked everyone.
A few days later, Zhang Yu was very excited when he received the news that Mr. Shui Jing and Mr. Pang De were coming.
"My lord, it's no wonder that a large number of students from the Jingxiang area have come here these days. It turns out that there are two big bosses coming." Zhang Zhao said excitedly.
"Let the academy speed up the progress. If necessary, let my father-in-law or Mr. Lu talk about the hot scene first." Zhang Yu said.
Time passed quickly, and more than ten days passed, and the wedding date was only ten days away. At this time, the Jiangdong area became lively.
Tens of thousands of people came to Jiangdong, and many of those who came later were students.
And many people were shocked by the prosperity here after coming here.
"Ah, why are the things here so cheap? One copper coin can buy so much paper."
"Brother Lin,
Come here quickly, there are several classics that I have been reluctant to buy before, and they only cost more than 30 copper coins, while we cost more than 200 copper coins. " said a poor scholar.
"There are many kinds of books in the bookstore here, and there are even arithmetic."
"Haha, sir, this street used to be full of food, I want to eat all the way there." A strong man said.
"I love tea the most in my life, but I can't afford it. I didn't expect the tea here to be so cheap."
"The prosperity of Jiangdong is comparable to that of Luoyang in the past."
Many people were shocked. When they came to Jiangdong for the first time, it was as if people from the mountains came to the city later.
At this time, tens of thousands of people have come, and a large number of people come through various methods every day.
The fleet returning from the Jingxiang area often had to pick up a lot of passengers on the return journey, and they all wanted to go to the Jiangdong area to listen to Cai Yong and Lu Zhi's lectures.
After two days of shopping, some students started to inquire about the location of the college.
When they arrived at the Higher Academy, everyone was shocked.
"It turns out that the academy can be so big." Someone exclaimed.
"Yes, our academy can only study with more than 30 people, but how many people can there be here?"
Some students will be shocked by the scale of the college after arriving here.
When they walked into the college of higher learning and arrived at the library, they were shocked again.
"It turns out that all of this is true. Yes, there are really hundreds of thousands of books here."
"There are so many books in my life that I can't finish reading them all."
"I want to be here, I want to study here every day."
Within a few days, the academy became a sacred place for students from all walks of life, and many people came to the academy.
Zhang Yu was very happy when he heard about it. With so many students, even if one-tenth of them are retained, that would be a big gain, and the place would be filled in no time.
"Immediately order the army to set up a group of tents next to the college, so that these people have a place to rest and provide food and drink." Zhang Yu ordered.
With Zhang Yu's order, a large number of marching tents were erected within two days, allowing students to sleep directly there.
Many people are reluctant to leave higher education.
During the day, the college was teaching normally, but these foreign students were making noise. As a last resort, Xiang Heng sent some people to maintain order, and allowed some people to enter the classroom to observe.
However, a school is too small. It could have seated dozens of people, but now more than 100 people are squeezed into it.
The hallway outside was also full of people.
Simply, there are dozens of schools here, which can accommodate quite a lot of people.
"I'm going to Lu Zhi, Lu Ziqian, today I will give you the first chapter of the Analects of Confucius..."
Hearing that the lecturer was actually Lu Zhi, some students almost lost their composure.
Some people were even more proud that they had really become Lu Zhi's disciples.
However, when Lu Zhi was giving a lecture, no one dared to make noise, and they all began to listen carefully. The former college students were more experienced, and would take out a pen and paper to listen and take notes. From time to time, some people would ask Lu Zhi to answer their questions.
This is their daily teaching, but it is enough to shock those foreign students, it turns out that it can be taught like this.
Many foreign students in other schools were also shocked.
"Astronomy and geography are even taught here, and many of them don't understand, but it makes sense."
"The mathematics they teach here is too advanced. I was confused. I just bought a mathematics book from Jiangdong and taught myself."
"What kind of physics is there to teach here? What's the use of these? It's enough to have a master teach the classics. This Jiangdong Academy is not a name for nothing."
Many people go to different schools and have different feelings.
Many classics are taught here, and what is taught is Confucianism, but many other subjects are also taught.
They can accept some things, such as astronomy, geography, and arithmetic, which are also advocated by Confucianism, but some knowledge of physical chemistry is not acceptable to them.
But it doesn't matter, it turned out that the students in the academy couldn't accept it either, and Zhang Yu also made these compulsory courses and had to take the exam.
Within a few days, many people were shocked.
Not to mention the scale of the place, Lu Zhi teaches almost every day and gives them two classes every day, which makes many students from other places feel that the trip is worthwhile.
Zhang Yu saw that there were so many students gathered here, so he began to arrange for Cai Yong to give lectures to Lu Zhi publicly.
A notice appeared in the academy, the content of the notice was that two days later, Cai Yong and Lu Zhi would each have a public lecture.
"Do you know that Master Cai and Duke Lu are going to give lectures publicly?"
"Who doesn't know? I heard that Master Cai usually doesn't come out to give lectures."
"Haha, hurry up and buy pens and ink. The students who didn't see here have several notebooks. I even asked them to borrow them to read. Many of them are classics taught by Lu Gong."
