Chapter 443: Academy City
The current situation of the Eternal Night Leader and the Kingsley family is the best reflection, half a year ago, they were still fighting for life and death because of the desperate swamp, and they wanted to press each other to the ground and rub and rub again.
Now the Kingsley family had to give up the peep into the swamp of despair, and the two sides immediately shook hands and made peace, and launched a series of business cooperation, not only the black gunpowder, which was not a light war weapon of the Kingsley family, but also sold a large number of black powder to the Kingsley family for mining, such as Andes longbow, throwing blade car, siege equipment, etc., don't sell too hot.
Because the Kingsleys need to teach a lesson to the jackals who took advantage of their weakness, even in the face of a severe lack of military spending.
Only the lesson of blood will let them know who is the real boss, and the next time the Kingsley family has this situation again, they must think carefully before doing anything.
The Eternal Night Army will evaluate each faction, and as long as the chances of this faction starting a war with them are less than a certain level, they will dare to sell them arms in large quantities, and money is not a hot thing.
That's right.
When the Kingsley family recovered, it was still possible to plot the Swamp of Despair, but that would be ten, twenty, or even generations.
The Eternal Night Commanders never worry about what will happen in the future, because they have never been afraid of any force compared to the speed of development.
Not to mention one or two generations, even if they were given ten years, they would be able to run the Swamp of Despair as impregnable, and at that time, the Kingsley family would not be able to cross the border, let alone hit Brother Port.
The benefits of the current exploitation of the Kingsley family will be invested in this construction, and at the same time, it will slow down the recovery of the Kingsley family.
Because the Eternal Night Army received the card to determine the current situation of the Kingsley family, provided them with a lot of war loans, and lent the other party's money to the other party, this kind of operation is also a horse of Sao.
The Kingsley family had to pinch their noses and admit that only by solving the things in front of them can they talk about the future, and if they don't even have the future, what's the point of talking about future interests?
It's not that they want to be creatures of interest, it's that they are in this position and have to do it, it's not that no one retains their own unique personality, but this kind of person usually can't get to the pinnacle of power.
Far from it, Viscount Philip of the Manyu Army Leader is the best example, the Quadripartite Alliance has already sent him a great opportunity to reach the top, he is a little proficient in compromise, and now he has become the new Grand Duke of the Manyu Army Leader.
But his personality is so strong that he can't hide his inner hatred and radical practices, and as a result, he was directly abandoned by the Quadripartite Alliance and turned into a Tripartite Alliance, and they would rather the situation under the Manyu military leadership continue to be so bad than support a disobedient puppet to come to power.
Even if some people are lucky enough to reach the top, eighty percent will die in the end, typical is the Manyu military leader of the supreme ruler of the Grand Duke Borg, the increasingly mediocre rule, the rebellion of his own people, even if there are no many unexpected factors caused by the eternal night military leader, according to the situation of the Manyu military leader at that time, after the internal contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, it will still erupt, and his burned bones will not remain.
Interested creatures have the benefits of beneficial creatures, dealing with them, as long as you can be sure that your interests are the same as theirs, and the benefits brought to them are the greatest, they are your staunchest allies, and the possibility of betrayal is the least.
The tripartite alliance of Sophia, Angel Bena and Sean is as stable as Mount Tai, not only has it not been shaken with the passage of time, but it has become closer, because at the beginning, the Eternal Night Army Leader adopted the method of tying people to interests, my interests have your share, your interests have my industry, and everyone earns money together.
As for wanting to monopolize all the benefits, it is simply impossible, after all, the territory of the three parties is the foundation, and without the supply of this foundation, everything is empty talk.
Speaker Abner obviously does not have so many considerations, and his emphasis on knowledge is clearly above profit.
Originally, Sean thought that Speaker Abner and their trip were completely for papermaking and printing, but after some contact, he found that this was not the case.
They may have asked for something, but the desire was noticeably less intense, as can be seen from the fact that Speaker Abner put his own private affairs above public affairs.
Of course, this may also be a means for the other party to use their identity as Andes to bring the two sides closer.
Or want to probe Sean's bottom and find out how much importance the Eternal Night Army Leader attaches to papermaking and printing, so as to prepare for future offers.
It's all possible.
It is a foolish act to draw conclusions about a person's character based on only half a day's contact, especially when the other party is a leader who has been in a high position for many years.
Truth be told, Speaker Abner's approach has worked, and Sean has developed a closeness and affection for him as a result.
Due to the need for development, the Eternal Night Military Commander's Affiliated Military Academy, which has been split into four, is divided into officers, political and legal colleges, and technical and magical colleges.
Among them, the School of Magic, due to its own needs and secrecy, is set up separately in the Northern Fortress.
The other three colleges, although they have been split, are still put together, they are only professionally divided, and the location of the school is not like the School of Magic, there is no hard need, as long as the surrounding terrain is flat enough, the main body can continue to expand.
In the beginning, the Military Academy was located in a small canyon not far from the Bastille, and this nameless small canyon was named the Officers' Canyon, but it was part of the Jacob River after its re-inundation, and now it has become part of the Great River and can no longer be found.
After the Jacob River reopened, Sean had foreseen the future of the affiliated officer academy that needed to be split and expanded, and he was quite cautious in choosing the site, after all, the young people who came out of here meant the future of the Eternal Night Commander.
Pick and choose, and finally put it with the Hall of Heroic Souls.
It is obvious that they want to use the Heroic Soul Hall to inspire them, compared to the heroic souls who sleep here, they are lucky, and only by working hard can they live up to this luck, and can they better repay the military leaders who raised and educated them.
Knowledge is important, loyalty is even more important, if there is no support from the latter, there is no former, it is also cultivated for others.
Although those who can enter these three institutions are carefully selected, and loyalty has been repeatedly confirmed, people are forgetful creatures, and this piece is always emphasized, and it is accurate.
When everything develops to a certain extent, there will be a certain commonality.
After the three major academies of the Eternal Night Army have developed to a certain extent, they are seventy or eighty percent similar to the college town in Sean's previous life, from the academy village and academy town at the beginning, and now it has begun to develop into the academy city.
"Our three colleges now have a total of 32 subjects, involving military, political, economic, technical and other aspects, but among them, professional technology is the most classified, after all, this aspect is more professional and requires more energy to focus on learning.
At present, there are more than 1,300 teachers and students in the Military Academy, more than 3,400 in the School of Political Science and Law, more than 8,600 in the Technical College, and more than 15,000 residents affiliated to the Academy.
Since we are working full-time, these students study no less than 12 hours a day, so they don't have time to deal with food, which is all taken care of by a dedicated person to ensure that they are able to concentrate enough on their studies.
Among them, the military academy and the political and legal academy adopt a three-year system, and the technical college adopts a two-year system.
At present, the Military Academy and the School of Political Science and Law are only in their second year, and the third year is still in preparation, but the Technical College will usher in the graduation season of the first freshman this summer, and the results of the training will be initially seen this year.
These two batches of students are not pure, especially the first batch of technical colleges, many of them are learning with art, at least two or three years of work experience, more than ten years, but they are just like ordinary farmers, they are all working through ancestral experience, many times know how to do it, but do not know why to do it.
The purpose of recruiting them to the college is twofold, one is to let them know the principle of doing this after systematic learning, and see if they can inspire them to study more trouble-free working methods, theory is the basis of technological progress, and the other is to use their previous work experience to improve the teaching materials.
In addition, we have begun to contact major employers, for them to establish exclusive files, the follow-up will be dedicated to follow up their situation, they are always in contact with the college, the college learning and the actual position of the combination, check and fill in the gaps, update the existing teaching materials of our college, after all, we these teaching materials are compiled by our brainstorming, can find reference materials are really limited, can only through this stupid method, ready to use several generations or even more than a dozen generations of teachers and students to improve.
Therefore, the dividing line between teachers and students here is not so clear, and our college motto is that there is no elder or younger, and the best is the first.
Former students absorb knowledge from teachers, and then apply what they have learned, and after summing up new experience and knowledge, they can become teachers, turn around and teach to former teachers, and then teach new students, for a new round of reincarnation, when we have trained enough teachers and students, our teaching materials are perfect enough. β
Since it's fishing, let's take heavy bait.
Therefore, Sean did not have any reservations about the academy in his own territory, and introduced it to Speaker Abner and his party in detail.
Even if others know the operation mode of the Eternal Night Military Leader Academy, it does not mean that they can imitate it.
Because the academy of the Eternal Night Army Leader can also be regarded as a thick accumulation, this is their summary of the development of the past ten years, so that they have the current teaching materials and so many students.
Not to mention Sir Copperfield, even Speaker Abner and Antoine Parliamentarians, who had seen the world, were dumbfounded.
Everything Sean described sounded like a fantasy to them.
What did they hear?
Tens of thousands of bachelors gather together to go to school, and it is all day long, studying for more than 12 hours a day, and one study is two or three years, how much knowledge do you have to learn?
They couldn't even imagine it, let alone see it with their own eyes.
That's right.
The Warlock Alliance is known as the alliance of scholars in the world, and the top of the firmament where they are located claims to have the most scholars in the world, the most comprehensive library, the largest academy, and the largest number of students.
But at its peak, there were no more than a thousand bachelors studying in the Academy of the Firmament, and the study time was also long and short, some would study here for seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, and some could only stay here for two or three months, and then they had to get up and return to their hometown, because they couldn't afford to stay.
Although studying at Dome Academy is free, as long as you can pass the entrance exam, there is no tuition fee, but it doesn't matter what you eat or wear.
Pen and ink can't use money?
You can't use money to eat, drink, and Lazar?
Traveling to and from the top of the firmament without spending money?
If you want to provide for a child to go to the Dome Academy to study, it is by no means a luxury that ordinary families can hope for, at least the kind of family with small assets and several manors, and it is possible to take out ten or eight years of savings.
The top of the firmament, which claims to have the largest number of scholars in the world, has a literacy rate of less than 30%, and it is normal for the ordinary people who serve them to not know a single word.
After these scholars leave the top of the firmament, no matter how bad they are, they can mix up the status of advisers.
And when it comes to Sean's mouth, most of them are going to become workers.
Again, it's a bit of an acceptance of incompetence.
The only feeling is that Sean is bragging.
But the question is, they're on their way to the academy, what's the point of bragging to them?
It didn't take them a few minutes to get him to the ground.
It's not bragging, how did the Eternal Night Warlord do it?
This time, without Speaker Abner speaking, the Parliamentarian of Antoine, who had always been somewhat reticent, asked: "Your Excellency's territory has become so rich, that so many people can study full-time without production?"
The eyes of Speaker Abner and Sir Copperfield lit up, and the Antoine Council Scholar asked the idea of the question, the other party has been in charge of some mundane affairs in the Academy of the Dome all these years, and naturally knows the most fundamental reason why the number of students in the Dome of the Sky has not been able to rise, and everyone pricked up their ears and showed a look of listening.
"Nope. Sean shook his head and said, " The number of people with small assets in our territory is indeed quite a lot, but it is limited to the surplus wealth of the family, and it is still impossible to let an adult take off production and study for several years, so we are not now adopting a self-funded system, but a public-funded system, and their food and clothing in the process of studying in the academy are all responsible for the territory, and those who excel in learning and suffer from family hardship, the territory will also give them economic subsidies as appropriate, at the cost of them After completing their studies, they must obey the arrangements of the territory and work for the corresponding number of years in the designated position, of course, the salary during the work period will not be less than theirsγ β
"The model of combining the territory and the academy, the collectivization of the territory to cultivate bachelors, is an unheard of and unprecedented model. Speaker Abner muttered to himself, looking down at the feasibility of this model.
Compared with the more pure Speaker Abner, the Antoine Council Scholar was more worldly, so he was much less shocked by these intuitive figures, and asked from other aspects: "What about the selection of basic talents! Since it is an academy, you can't start with literacy, can you? Or do you gather all the literate people in your territory? If so, you are not qualified to call it an academy!"
At the end, the tone was obviously a bit bitter, and it was clear that Antoine was subconsciously believing that Sean was exaggerating the truth.
Sean was not annoyed, but patiently explained the basic strategy of the Eternal Night Military Leader, "The selection of basic talents, they have been carried out since childhood, our military leader has been committed to the implementation of basic compulsory education since its establishment, at the beginning of the lack of financial resources, reluctantly implemented to the level of three-year compulsory education, which can only maintain the new generation to reach the level of literacy and hyphenation, no matter how advanced things can be done, now the financial resources are abundant, and it has been successively changed to five years, and the future may consider nine years of compulsory education." β
"Three-year compulsory education, five-year compulsory education, nine-year compulsory education?" Everyone felt that they were listening to the book of heaven, and they understood every word separately, but they didn't know what it was when they were connected together, and although they had guesses in their hearts, they didn't dare to confirm whether it meant it, because this meaning was too incredible. 8)
