Chapter 713: Educational Reform

Tutankhame's arrival was a small episode for the entire Baltic Empire, and even ninety-nine percent of the Baltic people did not know that the king of another country, a strong man who could confront Alice, appeared by their side.

If the two did fight in the city, the Baltic trade center would be the dust of history, like the destroyed seaport of Alexandria.

After talking about Tutanka Moe, Alice and Semiramis turned to the education of the empire, and after several years of recuperation, a large number of graduates have left the campus, entered the society, and participated in the work.

Most of them have entered some technical positions, speeding up the technological upgrading and upgrading of the goods of the Baltic factories, and the countries around the Baltic Sea feel this most deeply, because they have been able to buy the products they have been coveting with money.

These talents have indeed filled the gaps in many parts of the empire, but at the same time, the problem has also been highlighted, that is, the talents cultivated in such a peaceful way are too mediocre in ability, and there are few geniuses who can make people shine, there are no research talents who can promote the phased development of the empire, and there are no strong people who can ride a thousand, let alone become a legendary spellcaster at a young age.

Semiramis had been worried about this problem, as she had found that the newly grown warriors and spellcasters were easily defeated by the Scandinavian people in one-on-one battles, and if the opponent was replaced by a warrior from the Atila Empire, the situation would be even worse, and could even be described as ugly.

Alice's attitude towards this question is diametrically opposed to Semiramis's, because when she decided to vigorously develop schools, develop education, and achieve educational fairness as much as possible, she had foreseen such a situation, a peaceful environment can cultivate talents in large quantities, but it is difficult to cultivate geniuses, as the saying goes, only when there is pressure, there is motivation to break through their own limitations.

Alice is optimistic, because she believes that the talents produced by this model can be used as a good part of the empire, just like the collectivism that she has always adhered, and the rejection of individualism, if you can't win against an enemy, then let a squad cooperate and fight against it, and if a squad still can't win, send ten squads.

Without victory, it can only be said that the quantity is insufficient, and it cannot reach the level where quantitative change causes qualitative change.

Even if it is a powerful legend, what they can change is the situation of a battle, and if the battle rises to the national level of strategy, then even a legend becomes very small.

Needless to say, the most recent is the battle that almost allowed the fishmen to unify the entire Baltic Empire, in front of such a huge number of fishmen, the legendary sea beast was easily torn apart, and Alice could only avoid the edge for the time being.

In Alice's view, population is everything, population is wealth, in the face of a huge population base, many problems have become very easy to solve, when the number reaches a certain level, the quantitative change is not just a simple qualitative change, but a change in the level.

However, Semiramis is right, the students in the Imperial School are still too slack, and there is no comparison with her when she was a student, after all, at that time, she often went to the arena to fight enemies from all planes.

"When we were in school before, the method used by the school was actually very good, but now the space of the main plane is too stable, and we can't summon monsters from other planes to familiarize them with the battle. ”

Alice said that when she was a student, she fought with a three-headed dog from the underworld of Olympus, and it was a difficult battle, and I still remember it vividly.

"We can have mercenaries go outside to catch some monsters, and then let our students go to fight those monsters, and through these battles, they can hone their will and gain experience. ”

Semiramis proposed a solution, and now some of the riskier things within the empire have been handed over to the mercenaries who only want money, because problems that can be solved with money have never been a problem.

"Well, I know it's not realistic. ”

Seeing Alice's expression, Semiramis spread his hands helplessly.

"Or, we have a mechanism for students to fight each other, and once a week they fight, and they are given supplies according to their ranking, and those who are last in the ranking will be forced to withdraw from school after a certain period of time. ”

"This kind of fighting will produce casualties, and it will ruin the atmosphere in the school right now, and there will be a grudge between students and students, and this grudge will continue after they graduate. ”

This is indeed a good method, but it is contrary to Alice's ideal school atmosphere, and if such a cruel elimination mechanism appears, it is very disadvantageous for students from civilian backgrounds.

"I know, Alice, you want to create a fair educational opportunity, but it's just ideal, there is a gap between people and people before they are born, and all you can do is relative fairness, because absolute fairness has never existed. ”

This is what you said to me at the beginning, and I still remember it. ”

The best way to persuade people is to use the other party's words to persuade the other party, and Alice turned her head sideways without saying a word.

"Alice, I know you are gentle sometimes, but your gentleness should not be used in places like this. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

Alice didn't intend to continue arguing, because she knew that she shouldn't be too willful on this issue, the improvement of the talent quality of the empire was a good thing anyway, and the same number of lions was always much stronger than the same number of sheep.

After all, we can't always hope for the stupidity of the enemy in every confrontation and every war, this is indeed an era of stupidity, but at least we need to have the capital to make stupidity.

"In addition to that, I think we need to increase the actual combat training of those students, such as adding some combat classes, so that they can go to the wild to fight creatures like goblins. ”

"Or give them some tasks and let them go to those areas of the empire that live with a lot of monsters every month, let them bring back some more precious things, or just leave them on a desert island and let them survive on their own for a week or two. ”

Semiramis was still not satisfied, and she made more proposals.

"In this way, the casualties of the students will become very large, and some of these geniuses may have accidents before they grow up. ”

Alice hesitated slightly, although she agreed with Semiramis's statement, but letting those students carry out these activities without experience would inevitably cause a large number of casualties at once.

"Don't worry, invest a little more to equip them with some life-saving potions, put them in disposable armor that can protect their lives, or just let some powerful teachers hide in the shadows to protect them and make sure they don't die because of these trainings. ”

Semiramis had already figured out the way.

"No, it's a little bit of a slow. ”

As if she had suddenly remembered something, Alice slammed up from the couch.

"Do you remember what I told you a few years ago?"

Seeing Semiramis looking, with a puzzled look, Alice reminded and said.

"That's what I said before, the establishment of an elite academy, didn't you say at that time that the investment was too large, and the number of teachers was not enough, so let me put it off for a while? I think this time is very appropriate. ”

"The difference we just had is actually very simple, what I want is a lot of parts to form the country and promote the development of the country, and what you want is a small number of elites, the key to accelerating the development of the country. ”

"If we can set up an elite school, let those with excellent grades enter it for education, and develop a growth plan for each of them, if nothing else, wouldn't the two of us be the most successful examples of this kind of education?"

Alice pointed at herself and then at Semiramis with an excited smile on her face.

"In addition, Semiramis, you just considered assigning a task to let the mercenaries capture a group of monsters and come to the academy as opponents for the students to train, so that they can get used to fighting, gain experience, and break through their own boundaries between life and death, right?"

"If it is only a small-scale, school-scale trial, there is still room for feasibility in this method, and the scale of the empire will continue to expand in the future, and we can directly replicate such a mature system at that time. ”

Semiramis's eyes also lit up, and she also thought of other benefits, after the establishment of this elite school, it will not only cultivate excellent elite students, but also become a cradle for cultivating excellent teachers, greatly enriching the teaching force of the entire empire.

"Also, since it is an elite education, we can invite the princes and princesses of the kings of the countries around us, as well as the children of the tribal chiefs, to this school under the pretext of helping to improve the abilities of their offspring. ”

"It's as if that Ochu sent his children to us to be nurtured, and when they're grown up in our school, you can imagine, when they return to their homeland and succeed their father as king. ”

"What will a person who has a Baltic accent, who likes to eat Baltic food, who is accustomed to Baltic culture, who is integrated into Baltic society, who is going to do something? Will they be gradually changed and reintegrated into their country? No, I don't think so, because they have already taken the power and achieved the highest position in the country, they will not adapt to the country, they will only let their country, their courtiers, their people adapt to them. ”

"It doesn't matter if they don't fit in, they still have our support, and when the time comes, they will gladly invite us into their country and help them to purge those who disobey their orders, and destroy all those who resist materially. ”

"If this situation goes through several generations, then these countries are no different from those that have become part of the Baltic Empire, and we only need to pay a very small price to be able to incorporate some tribes and some countries into the empire, and even the gods have no way to dispute this. ”

Alice began to promote her idea again, and as time went on, she began to gradually dislike the use of violence to solve problems, and the girl who always liked to solve everything with violence was no longer visible.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh. ”

"So, where are you going to build this academy, near Jutland, or just vacate a magic tower and use it as the address of the school?"

The school of magic that Alice and Semiramis attended before was built in a castle in the middle of nowhere, but it was not possible on the main plane, and it was inconvenient to build it far from the city in every sense.

But it is also unrealistic to build in a city, because the city is already crowded with all kinds of buildings, and there is no spare land for them to build an elite school.

"There must be some empty desert islands off Jutland that are uninhabited, right?"

Alice reached out and used her magic to construct a detailed map in the air, pointed to a place in the sea, and asked.

"Well, there are a few small islands there, but because there is no fresh water on the islands, they have not been developed yet, but some simple lighthouses have been built on them to facilitate passing ships. ”

"Moreover, because it is a desert island surrounded by the sea, it is isolated from enemy attacks, and at the same time, those students can concentrate on their studies and not be distracted by things outside. ”

Since what they want to build is an elite school, the task of those students in it is to study hard, study seriously, tap their potential, and become real powerhouses.

"My body can go to the school as a principal, and the books collected in this library can be brought directly to the school, and in addition to the ability of teachers, the library is also indispensable in a school. ”

"The other teachers can be found in various schools now, and after this period of development, a large number of excellent classrooms have emerged in our schools. ”

"There are also teachers who need to be sought out from the army, because what we need is a group of lions who lead lions, who are stronger, more courageous, and know how to use all the resources to achieve victory. ”

Alice continued, and the inspiration for the school was constantly coming to mind.

"Finally, there is the graduation exam, which we have conducted before is still too simple, and in the future our students will have to go to the battlefield for trials, to fight the trolls in the forest, to the gnolls in the mountains, to the werewolves in the steppe, and to fight the giants of the north. ”

"What the empire needs is a group of geniuses, and the dead geniuses are never called geniuses. ”
