0496 Education
Coldwind City, Arcane Workshop.
The hall under crystal chandeliers is resplendent with bright magical flames illuminating every corner. It's a place of pleasure, a haven of wealth heaped with so much wealth.
At nightfall, wizards and apprentices come here. Dressed in comfortable and gentle arcane robes, they stepped on luxurious woollen carpets and spoke to each other in graceful gestures.
Although low-level wizards are not yet high-ranking wizards, the relaxed and comfortable experience provided in the clubhouse is unimaginable to countless poor people in the city.
Walking into this clubhouse represents embarking on a path to advancement in life.
You may be appreciated here, learn arcane with mystical powers, or you may simply serve a plate to a wizard who has mastered it.
But even the work of serving dishes makes the poor people grab their heads. There is no need for food and clothing here, the status has risen sharply, and there are many unspeakable low-level sufferings.
In the past, the Arcane Research Society was a semi-non-profit organization, funded by low-level wizards and apprentices who were unable to join the wizarding group.
But after the Longlegs family left, many wizards suddenly lost their sources of funding, and even the Arcane Research Society could not be opened.
When the city's magnates fought among themselves for illusory power and interests, the 'Harmony Chamber of Commerce' bought the entire property of the Society.
Includes several luxurious buildings, outfits, and servants who serve the wizards.
Mondino the Necromancer has been appointed as the new president of the Society, transforming the high-end clubhouse into an academy that serves only small groups.
For education, Zhou Qingfeng has always been willing to invest. He had previously recruited Eve. Lorraine and other young people have been trained, and the effect is very good.
In the process of building the 'Rich and Strong Leader', those young people played the role of middle-level backbones, became the executors of Zhou Qingfeng's instructions, and supported the management of thousands of people.
Now this cultivation has been expanded.
'Rich and strong leaders' are recruiting new blood and need talents at different levels.
It doesn't matter where you come from, no matter your background, you can even care about your race, you just care if you work hard. As long as you keep learning, there is always a suitable job for you.
To put it simply, meritocracy!
This is an initiative that breaks the mold and shackles. When the Arcane Institute opened its arms, the poor people of Coldwind were so excited that they sent their children to be tested.
There was a long queue outside the gate of the clubhouse, where only a few people were allowed to enter on weekdays, and people were full of anticipation and anxiety. Even the lowliest slaves can try their luck.
Shumei Sophia has a simple process for verifying intelligence. As long as they can pass the test, they will be considered 'enrolled' and can sign a simple six-month contract.
Within six months, the Institute will provide basic accommodation, safety and education, and the 'enrollees' must cooperate. This condition is far from that of Lorraine's, but the number of people benefiting has skyrocketed.
The composition of the first phase of 'enrollment' was complex, both male and female, with an average age of fifteen years and more than five hundred.
Each of the chosen ones cheered and jumped out of the clubhouse, shouting to their friends, family and the crowd around them, declaring themselves to be on a different path.
In the past, a farmer was a farmer, a craftsman was a craftsman, and the children of slaves were slaves. Born in a slum, not only has he been a poor person all his life, but his son and grandson are also poor.
Now the 'Rich and Strong Leader' of Victor. His Excellency Hugo broke down this class divide and allowed the bottom to move upwards. It was like a ray of light falling from the sky and enveloping the City of Cold Winds.
The 'enrollees' are divided into 20 classes according to age, and the advanced behavior period is a week of quarantine and discipline training, followed by the opening of the school year for education.
This is the second step of Zhou Qingfeng's universal education, and the teaching materials are ready-made, simple lingua franca and mathematics as well as general knowledge.
The teachers are also ready-made, and there are more than a hundred low-level wizards and apprentices in Cold Wind City.
In order to speed up the learning process, each student has a scroll of 'Scholar's Touch' to memorize all the content they need to learn.
The process of learning is how to integrate the knowledge in the brain and turn simple memory into ability that can be used flexibly.
More than five hundred first-order arcane scrolls cost Zhou Qingfeng more than 50,000 ...... and platinum coins in one go.
The low-level wizards of Coldwind City worked tirelessly for a month in order to earn this big order. The money they earn is also spent on their studies as soon as they change hands.
The 'Harmony Chamber of Commerce' also offers high-quality arcane classes, which are held every week.
Fifty gold coins per section.
Every time the class is full, the class places are all up to grab.
This fully realized the efficient flow of knowledge and capital, created a huge GDP, and improved the happiness index of Coldwind City. All participants were very satisfied.
Being able to memorize knowledge directly into the brain is a huge convenience for learning.
All 'enrollees' must seize the opportunity to practice every moment and try to fully grasp the knowledge in their minds.
Because Lord Hugo does not raise waste.
The seminar will conduct a monthly examination once a month, and only those who pass the test can receive the next step of training. If you fail the monthly exam twice, you can only get out and continue to live a miserable life.
Every time the exam list is released, it is once again a matter of fate. Those who pass the exam will be distinguished from high and low grades, and those who are excellent will be treated better.
Those with magical qualifications are sent to study arcane. Those who cannot learn the arcane will be distinguished again, and the young and strong will join the army.
Those with average physique can learn how to become a craftsman or become an agricultural technician. Younger students can extend their studies and look forward to acquiring more talents in the future.
The 'Rich and Powerful' needs a large number of knowledgeable people to achieve a leap in power. The spread of knowledge will create a completely different class of citizens.
This class is like iron ore added to a furnace, smelted, calcined, removed impurities, endowed with new ideas, and became the core force of Zhou Qingfeng's subordinates.
Because Zhou Qingfeng was willing to spend money, willing to let the 'enrollees' eat and drink enough, and willing to use the arcane scroll with blood, the new teaching system worked well.
Every month, the Arcane Institute conducts a new enrollment. Each time, more than 500 lucky winners get the chance to change their fate.
At most, a dozen or so 'enrollees' in each phase will be eliminated, and most of the remaining will continue their studies, and a small number will enter the workforce, strengthening the rule and control of the 'rich and strong leaders'.
After going on like this for half a year, Zhou Qingfeng spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and the grain and cloth related to people's livelihood in the warehouse were almost exhausted, in exchange for ......
There are more than 200 primary school graduates, 1,000 junior high school graduates, and 1,500 'enrollees'.
When Zhou Qingfeng became the vice chairman of Cold Wind City, he was surrounded by a large group of pig teammates. The only thing that can give him strong support is this new group that is gradually taking shape.
Ploughing wars, ploughing wars, after accumulation, they will break out.
Use the sword of harmony to acquire more land for the plough of prosperity.
