Early the next morning, Lan Tian went to Wanghai Courtyard to pick up Zhuge Liang, and together they went to Guangzhou Academy to visit and search for people.

After receiving the news, Liu Xi, the Vice-President of the Academy, and Zhao Shuang, the Vice-President of the Academy, personally greeted the distinguished guests at the entrance of the academy.

After Zhuge Liang stepped into the gate of the academy, he could immediately feel the fragrance of books.

The entire layout of Guangzhou Academy is planned by Lantian according to the layout of the university. The teaching area, activity area, dormitory area, and living area are well arranged.

Zhuge Liang walked through several classrooms, which felt like an enlarged version of Quanling Academy. Only at this moment did he understand Lan Tian's persistence. Behind any seemingly successful success, there was a lot of hard work.

At the beginning, Quanling Academy was mainly focused on training craftsmen, but now places like Guangzhou Academy have become the only way to become an official in Jiaozhou. Lantian seems to have been laying the groundwork from the beginning, and his powerful control is terrifying.

After a tour, I came to the college dormitory. The dormitory doors were either open or ajar, and no one locked or closed them at all, because the college often came to inspect discipline and check hygiene conditions.

Zhuge Liang got off his horse in the porch and looked at the flowers. He found that the dormitory was clean and tidy, the bedding was neatly folded, daily necessities were stacked in an orderly manner, and there were two long tables lined up between the two rows of beds.

Pang Hong's class took a break in the morning, and all seven roommates were reading in the dormitory. Zhao Shuang quickly stepped forward and called Pang Hong out.

"You..." Pang Hong showed a rather surprised expression when he saw so many important people, and quickly bowed his hands to everyone.

Zhuge Liang took out Pang Tong's letter and asked with concern: "Master, you have been in Guangzhou for a year. Are you adaptable to Guangzhou Academy? Can you improve your studies? Your father is coming this time, but the King of Hanzhong has temporarily arrived.

Since he has such a heavy responsibility, he asked me to visit you on his behalf."

Pang Hong cupped his hands and replied: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. Only after Hong came to Guangzhou Academy did he know what it means to sit in a well and look at the sky. The academy and all the teachers are all well-educated people. Hong's studies are improving every day. We will meet again after we finish our studies."

, it will definitely impress my father."

"You are ambitious. It seems that Master Ju has indeed learned well. Remember to write more letters to Shiyuan when you have time. You should write three or two throughout the year so that your relatives at home will not miss you." Zhuge Liang reminded.

"Uh... my nephew came late, for fear that he would not be able to catch up with the students of the same period. I will save it later..." Pang Hong replied awkwardly.

Zhuge Liang frowned after hearing this. He thought Pang Hong's tutor couldn't keep up with him, so he thought to himself: Who are the people accepted by Guangzhou Academy? Doesn't it mean that most of them are Li Shu in Guizhou?

Upon seeing this, Lan Tian winked at Zhao Shuang, who held up his hand and explained: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, Guangzhou Academy has a five-year education system. Because Jushi has a good foundation, he did not let him start from the original Grade E class, but directly joined the class.

Study with Grade D class..."

"I think the great master is having a hard time. Is the difference in level so big? It is said that most of the academy students are from common people? Then why..." Zhuge Liang asked.

"Guangzhou Academy has a limited number of students each year. After graduating from the Mongolian Academy, there is an exam. After passing the exam, you have to participate in the academy's selection exam. Only if you pass both times can you be finally admitted. Most of the children selected in the end are smart and hard-working, and they still learn well.

Very quickly, and my main course is mathematics, which is a bit difficult for the first time..." Zhao Shuang continued to explain.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang looked at Lan Tian in surprise. He had been selecting the best from the best since the Meng Academy. After completing his studies, he would continue to select the best through assessments. Those who eventually entered the officialdom would definitely not be too bad. This system is better than the inspection system in other places.

And the nine-level Zhongzheng system currently implemented by Wei State is much better, allowing real talents to serve the country.

How did Lan Tian come up with such a perfect system?

"Then you should study hard and don't embarrass your father." Zhuge Liang encouraged Pang Hong by patting him on the shoulder.

Pang Hong raised his hands and replied sonorously: "Uncle, don't worry, Hong will be able to catch up and wait until he graduates in three years to be ranked in the Licao selection."

"Master Ju plans to become an official in Jiaozhou?" Zhuge Liang was very surprised after hearing this. With Pang Tong's status in Liu Bei's heart, Pang Hong could get a good official position without taking the exam.

Pang Hong nodded and said: "Jiaozhou is actually quite good. I believe that under General Lan's governance, all counties and counties will have great potential."

"Ziyu, you are really powerful. You kidnapped Shiyuan's son in such a short time. He will cause trouble for you in the future, but don't blame me for not warning you..." Zhuge Liang joked with a smile.

"The sky is as high as the birds can fly, and the sea is as wide as the fish can leap. How can your parents care about you for the rest of your life? If Shi Yuan really wants to blame, I can only send the great master back to Chengdu..." Lan Tian responded, spreading his hands.

"No..." Pang Hong looked very excited.

"Don't be alarmed, Master, I'm joking with General Lan..." Zhuge Liang comforted with a smile, then looked at Zhao Yun and exchanged glances. Zhao Yun immediately handed the two boxes of things to Pang Hong.

"This is a native product of Chengdu and Jingzhou. Shi Yuan was afraid that you would not be used to living and eating in Guangzhou, so I specially asked me to bring it to you to relieve your homesickness. We will not disturb your studies..." Zhuge Liang said goodbye after explaining.

Pang Hong took the special product with both hands, his face full of gratitude, and then nodded and said: "Thank you uncle, you nobles are busy, please forgive my nephew for not sending it far away, I will take it back and give it to my roommates to try."

"Uh... Master, please help yourself..." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly.

On the way out of the dormitory area, Zhuge Liang asked Lan Tian: "Just now, by observing the master's expression and talking to him, I can feel that he is doing well. Ziyu, your academy is really good. Can you give me the secret to success?"

tell me?"

"Prime Minister, really want to know? Jun Qing, take us to the library." Lan Tian ordered Zhao Shuang.

"Only." Zhao Shuang answered with his hands raised, then walked to the front of the team, stretched out his hand to lead the way and said: "Prime Minister, please go this way..."

Different from the open state of other places, there are guards standing guard in front of the library door. When you push the door and enter, you will find a small courtyard with a back shape. In several rooms on the east and west sides, there are dozens of adults in teaching clothes sitting around.

Discuss and write together...

Zhuge Liang caught a glimpse of it while crossing the courtyard, and then followed Zhao Shuang to the big room to the north. There were rows of bookshelves inside. Except for one bookshelf filled with bamboo slips and paper books, most of the other bookshelves were empty.

Zhuge Liang picked up a volume and found that it was an unknown history book from the pre-Qin period. He also pulled out a paper book titled "Commentaries on the Book of Changes" with the title page showing Yu turning the page. Another book he pulled out was "Zhou Bi" by Zhao Shuang.

Commentary on Suan Jing...

"These are all..." Zhuge Liang was shocked.

Zhao Shuang held up his hands and explained: "Some of the bamboo slips in the library were donated by the teachers, and some were collected and bought back by General Lan entrusted by the caravan for the academy teachers to study, study and watch. The paper books are new books compiled by the teachers, and many of them are

It is selected as a textbook for the academy, and the rooms on the east and west sides that I just passed by are all researchers who are doing training and annotation for the academy."

"Research and teaching personnel?" Zhuge Liang encountered another new word that he didn't understand.

"They are people who specialize in studying ancient Chinese classics and compiling and expanding the library for the academy." Zhao Shuang added.

Zhuge Liang turned to Lan Tian and asked: I know Ziyu is running a good school in Jiaozhou, but where did you find so many research and teaching staff? There are so many learned people in Jiaozhou? It is incredible..."

Lan Tian smiled and said: "How can there be so many talents in Jiaozhou? They come from all over the Central Plains, Jiangdong and so on."

"Come here because of your reputation?" Zhuge Liang didn't understand again.

Lan Tian continued to explain: "The treatment in the academy is very good, including housing arrangements and settling-in expenses. Some of them are introduced by teachers, such as Jun Qing (Zhao Shuang) who wrote a letter to summon two friends, and many more are

They are children from poor families in the Central Plains. They saw the flyer of Guangzhou City and were attracted here."
