Volume 2 Imperial Capital Chapter 1 His Majesty's Academy
There are thirteen provinces in the Dongsheng Empire, and although Huayang Province is not the most extensive among them, it is only ranked below Donghai Province in terms of wealth and commercialization, not to mention that it is located in the central area of the Shenzhou Continent, and has been the territory of the Xia Kingdom known as the "Heavenly Mansion on Earth" since ancient times.
The land of Huayang Province is mostly flat and fertile, and under the connection of the Xunjiang River, which can be said to cross the entire continent, the perfect combination of natural and artificial products such as rivers and lakes, canals and ditches crisscross each other, coupled with the dense and extensive modern roads that have been repaired for more than 100 years, and the tributaries of the main roads and water can be said to be all over the territory, even the most remote boundaries.
Among them, the imperial capital city agglomeration, which occupies nearly one-fifth of the area of Huayang Province, is the most important, and the magnificent Xunjiang River is the center of this "city", and the most noble building complex of the empire, the imperial palace, runs through it.
Of course, these things didn't have much to do with the young man who had just arrived somewhere in the northern region of the imperial capital, he was just a little dazed after the ninth successful way of asking for directions.
"Hey, you kid, don't you want to ask for directions? I just know that if you want to go to the imperial capital, I can't help you. The land under your feet is considered the imperial capital, but it is just a satellite city of the Abyss City, which is one of the satellite cities of the imperial capital. Also, where is your family, have you lost yourself with your family? I'll call the police for you. โ
In front of the underage at first glance, a kind and slightly nagging passer-by talked for a long time, and finally pulled him back to reality.
"No, no, I really don't need to, I'm from Hanoi Province, how do I get to the college? Ling Ye waved his hand again and again to thank Absolutes for his kindness.
"Academy, you guy, you're asking the right question, hahaha, the academy doesn't need any prefixes, the other academies in the imperial capital are just affiliated schools. โ
The passer-by man looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, and then patted him on the shoulder and replied, "I am also a student of the academy, what major are you here to take? Maybe we can be classmates in the future, my name is Zhang Xiaosheng." It's just a little strange, generally speaking, someone should have recommended you to come, what about your person in charge, why didn't he pick you up?"
"Ling Ye, hello, may I ask," he glanced at the address of an envelope in his hand, "Military Specialized Special Warfare Arms Teaching Office, where is this?"
"Special operations troops?" Zhang Xiaosheng seemed to repeat in a blank whisper, his neck wanted to stretch out to take a look, but he saw Ling Ye turn the front of the envelope, and he explained at a glance, "I know about the Military Professional Academy, and I will take you there...... Huo: Or is it recommended by the military department, don't you know yet? This eagle logo represents the copywriting approved by the military department. But the special operations arms? Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with the military academy, I'm from the economics college. โ
The end note is particularly unwilling, unexpected, and the expression on his face is slightly distorted, as if to say that this is a very shameful thing for him.
"That's enough, I don't even know where I am now!, have you eaten?" Ling Ye asked with gratitude and sincerity in his eyes.
Zhang Xiaosheng patted his head and said enthusiastically: "Oh, look at my brain, you should have just gotten off the bus and haven't had lunch yet, right? Let's find a place and talk about it while eating." โ
Half an hour later.
A restaurant on the street, the price seems cheap and affordable - in terms of the consumption level of the imperial capital.
The two of them were fast and slow, the fast young man had already eaten the meal for seven or eight people, and the older man who was slow still slowly cut a piece of steak beef, chewed it in his mouth before continuing to laugh and talk: "This restaurant is also famous, the price is fair, and the most important thing is that the ingredients themselves are good, and the follow-up treatment is okay." I happened to have something to do today...... Originally, looking at your thin and weak appearance, I was still a little puzzled. But I now believe that you really look like a student of a military academy, and maybe even belong to some special talent. It's just that the amount of food is already much different from ordinary people. โ
Laughing back again, he leaned over and asked the man opposite, "Senior, can you tell me about the general situation of the academy?" โ
"Don't you suspect that I'm a liar? I know at a glance that you're not like the stupid ordinary people on the surface," Zhang Xiaosheng said with his chin on his chin playfully after finishing the meal and chatting, "Judging from the vague momentum, you have really seen blood on your hands, it's really amazing...... Ah, it's just a professional habit, I'm sorry, I'm actually a part-time person in the academy, don't you listen to my name very similar?"
With a hint of vigilance in his eyes, Ling Ye's posture remained unchanged and said, "It's okay, I'm from the northernmost corner of the empire, and I have indeed slaughtered some wild beasts. You look at the momentum, I can only look at the clothes, there is a celebration of the academy on TV, which has your beige base, pale red pattern school uniform, and the badge on the chest like an imperial coin. I guess under His Majesty's nose, no one would dare to pretend to be this, right?"
Stunned for a moment, Zhang Xiaosheng looked down and saw his school uniform, and his color was a little red when he turned around.
At this time, Ling Ye's expression naturally diverted back to his question: "Senior, can you introduce the basic situation of the academy?"
"Ahem, of course," Zhang Xiaosheng straightened up and said solemnly, "Academy, I won't mention in detail anything that is too theoretical and historical, if you are interested, you can go to the Central Library to learn about it yourself." In a nutshell, His Majesty the Emperor relocated, merged, and restructured the Imperial Private School, the Noble Academy, and all the top schools of other empires more than 100 years ago, and finally formed an academy that independently occupied an entire large city and more than a dozen surrounding satellite cities in the urban agglomeration of the imperial capital. His Majesty is the Headmaster himselfโthough most of the time he is only on a temporary basis. โ
Seeing that the young man on the other side of the table nodded and signaled his understanding, Zhang Xiaosheng continued to introduce: "Under this premise, the academy naturally gathers and integrates the most cutting-edge, advanced and scientific erudite knowledge, research strength, and education level in all known fields of the empire.
Just as His Majesty once said: If the other side of the boundless sea can do it, why can't we? Anyone who has potential, or even needs a desire to learn and improve, can come to study and specialize in his favorite field, even if it is remote and theoretical. Among them, those who perform well are free of board, and those who excel will be awarded. His expression became slightly fanatical.
โ...... His Majesty is majestic and strategic, and this move is also very good! No wonder he was able to catch up with the level of the alliance from the era of cold weapons. โ
After being silent for a long time, Ling Ye, who was a little infected, couldn't help but sigh, he still probably knew about this Majesty who had been more than 100 years old from the textbook, and he started it when he was a young man, and it can even be said that he started at a young age, and that series of ambitions that were finally realized without a mistake.
