Locke was like a duck with his neck choked, and his face turned red in an instant and he was speechless...

... Can I say I'm habitually digressing?

"Absolutely!" Locke could only stiffen his neck and said with a strong mouth, "Our funds are limited, and most of the gold coins have to be used for scientific research and development. The fiscal expenditure for various departments is relatively tight, but in order to strengthen local control and achieve real control over all the land in the kingdom, it is necessary to promote... The development of transportation! ”

"Trains have to be laid across the country as soon as possible, but before that happens, the various departments need to have their own subordinate functions in every town with more than 1,000 people."

"As a result, there is not enough money to put on the establishment of universities. So, you need to find another way to take money out of other rich people! ”

Hey, Mormont looked at Locke with a smile and a smile...

Your Majesty, you don't have to go around in circles and tell me that. You just say I don't have any money, and I'll find a way...

Universities, which are not new to Mormont, have such schools in Coultiras, but are mainly open to the children of the nobility. But the university proposed by Fairbanks is facing the entire kingdom of Lordaeron!

Not to mention the size of the school, the cost of running a university alone is a huge number. In Coultiras, the cost of the university was partly donated by the nobles and partly subsidized by the royal family, Prodmore. Not only that, but the cost of this school is not affordable for ordinary people. This is why the school only admits children of the nobility who cannot inherit the title. As a maritime trading kingdom, Kurtilas is still very advanced in this experience, and in Mormont's opinion, this university has provided a large number of talents for the upper echelons of Kurtilas and even various noble families.

These noble sons were from all walks of life, and they strongly supported the structure of the kingdom of Kurtiras.

However, in Lordaeron, there is no example of a university. In fact, Lordaeron's cultivation of his children is more like the tradition of the past, sending children who cannot inherit the title to be sent to the nobles of the same rank or higher to serve as attendants or maids. While doing so can also produce outstanding talents... However, it is not possible to compete with the excellent talents cultivated by a comprehensive college such as a university, which covers a wider range of knowledge.

Now Lordaeron under Locke needs a university like Kul Tiras. In the future, it will be up to those who graduate to hold up the skeleton of Lordaeron's positive and negative elements.

"I understand your painstaking efforts, Your Majesty, and I will solicit funds for the establishment of the University from the members of the House of Lords at the next meeting of the House of Lords. But I also hope that your Majesty will be able to take on the vast majority of the source of funds. "Not every nobleman has such a long-term vision. They are even resistant to opening up their knowledge to civilians. ”

"These stereotypical guys will regret it," Locke nodded and said to him, "rest assured, the royal family will bear the vast majority of the funds." In addition, I hope to see the construction of the school skeleton as soon as possible, and the educational support is also part of the trade agreement between Kurtilas and us. I believe that in a few days, the professors will be back in Eva. ”

"When the time comes, you and Farbanks, take them around Eva. Let them choose a piece of land, how much area they need, and what kind of building they need. In the end, there is a royal family to contribute funds. ”

"Your Majesty is wise," Mormont asked, patting his ass, but asked again, "Eva's commoner children, if you want to go to university but don't have enough money..."

"Do you still need me to say this? Prime minister? Locke said dissatisfied, "This is a school for all Lordaerons. The royal family will be responsible for all the expenses they need to study in the early stage, of course, not everyone will be able to come, you can study this later, tell me. ”

Just waiting for your words!

Lordaeron civilians, I can only help you get here!

Mormon froze and looked at Locke with a smile, "Your Majesty may not know much about the cost of a university for a few years. As far as Lordaeron's current situation is concerned. It may be that some of the citizens of Ivane have enough money to support their children to go to university. ”

"How many gold coins?" Locke asked directly, he had never gone to college in his previous life, and when he was in the army, he was especially envious of those college students and their college life.

"Universities are not charities, otherwise the rules will be chaotic and the school may have all kinds of problems as a result." Mormont touched the beard on his chin and looked at Locke, "From the beginning of a student's enrollment, his clothing, food, and housing are all the responsibility of the school. However, for some experimental teaching, the school is not responsible for the materials, and the students need to bring their own. Of course, it's more than that. There are many others, and I don't know much about them. But I know that at the time of Kul Tiras, there were some children of the common people who went to university to study, and their tuition fees were not less than 5 gold coins a year. ”

5 gold coins... Locke groaned...

In terms of the current consumption of civilians in the Iva City Circle, this is not a small expense, not to mention civilians in other areas. If the royal family subsidizes all the civilian students who enroll, it may not seem like much, but what about the entire Lordaeron who needs to go to school?

"Work-study..."

"What?" Mormont didn't seem to understand the word.

"When I say work-study, I mean that these children can participate in the work outside of the school's teaching tasks in their spare time at school and earn a certain amount of remuneration." Locke immediately thought of this, "This can improve the self-reliance and self-confidence of these students from the common people, and it can also strengthen their willpower, etc." ”

"In addition, all the expenses of the outstanding students during their university years will be fully paid by the royal family, of course, let the Ministry of Education send a commissioner to review whether they are eligible."

The end of the future is when you serve the royal family.

Free can't be free, and it can't be free in this life. People are cheap, and the easier it is to get something, the more they don't know how to cherish it. The more unattainable it is, the more it will never forget.

"I don't have any opinion," Mormont nodded in satisfaction, but he continued, "work-study... I have the impression that the noble children of Kul Tiras will do these things themselves at the end of the semester..."

Locke was a little surprised to keep up with the times.

Also, if the aristocracy is so unbearable, how can it be inherited for a hundred years?

"The stage of initiation and intermediate education, Your Majesty, I propose that it be carried out throughout the country," Mormont continued, taking advantage of this opportunity, "the future of the kingdom needs more intellectual talents, and we must lay the foundation now, and in 10 or 20 years, the flowers of hope will bloom everywhere in the land of Lordaeron!" ”

Locke rubbed his head helplessly, this is all self-inflicted, why did you tell him about college if you have nothing to do?

"Actually, Your Majesty. My concern is that civilians may not be willing to send their children to school. At a young age, they can help their families do a lot of breadwinner's work and share the crises of life. If they are allowed to study, it may increase the burden on the family. In this view, they are the opposite of the aristocracy, and sometimes they have to admit that ignorance is the main culprit that destroys the learning of commoner children. ”

"So, at Initiation Education you can provide free education, and even provide lunches to attract those families to send their children out to study. When it comes to secondary education, a small amount of tuition is charged. Mormont said foaming, "Only this kind of studious... As the atmosphere spreads in Lordaeron, Your Majesty's opportunities for reform may continue in the future. ”

"It's like a perfect cycle. Lordaeron will continue to produce a variety of outstanding talents to meet the requirements of our Lordaeron to regain its glory in the future! ”

"Otherwise, wait until you are summoned by the Light. It is also unknown whether your heir will continue your decision. You have to show him that you are making the right decision. ”

Looking at Mormont, who was talking eloquently, Locke suddenly felt that it was not how smart and brave he was, if he didn't have thousands of years of historical knowledge, he would be nothing compared to him.

Many things, as long as you pierce that piece of paper, the source will gush out. He only told Mormont about his reform intentions, or the abridged version, and he was able to reason through the end of many details to the end, and make all kinds of reasonable arrangements. He was even able to deduce from his own description that the world was a mechanical society, and for this reason he vigorously promoted education, and universalized education in Lordaeron...

It must be known that in this period, knowledge was a weapon monopolized in the hands of the aristocracy! How many nobles came to persuade themselves not to teach the commoners. Use all kinds of excuses to persuade yourself, and even threaten your own rule.

It is true that the opening of the wisdom of the people is a threat to the royal power, and it is still a great threat.

But Locke doesn't regret it!

The descendants of later generations have their own way, and the road that should be paved is being paved by Locke. If any of the descendants of the future generations were ousted from the throne by rebellion because of disregard for the will of the people, Locke would never care about him. First of all, as a monarchy, you hold the army of the whole country, and there is a powerful institution like the Ministry of the Interior, and if you are ousted, it means that you are not capable.

Secondly, keeping up with the times is not just for other people, but also for the royal family. If you should make concessions, you must know that kingship is not eternal, and if you don't have this awareness, then you should do it as soon as possible.

Finally, all these years have passed, and in Azeroth there is still no walk on the sea of stars?

What are you playing, delete the number!

"Okay, you can do it." Locke rubbed his swollen head, "In the future, if you can get an idea, don't come to me, go to the queen." ”

"Your Majesty, but there's one more thing... It must be made clear before you go. ”

"What else?" Locke depressed and sat down at his desk, and Mormont poured him a cup of tranquilizing tea and handed it to him.

"Does the army need to be reformed? I know I shouldn't have asked about it. Mormont paused, looked up at Locke, who looked up at him, and continued, "But I think it's possible to let some soldiers who are unwilling to continue serving in the army leave the army?" ”

"The war has been going on for so many years, and some of the veterans are really tired."
