Chapter Seventy-Two: Don't Talk to Me About Ideals, What the Hell Is an Ideal?
People cloak themselves in mystery about everything they don't understand, like a black man with albinism, or a turtle with two heads. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Harvey's idea is very simple, relationships can only be maintained on weekdays, especially two people in different classes, if you want to improve, you have to think of other ways. He can't reach too powerful characters, and besides, who in the entire province of Bell can compare to Wren? He's just a slave trader, to put it mildly, Wren just changed it when he didn't want to use him, anyway, slave traders are easier to find than saints these days.
How to tie himself firmly to Rennes's chariot is the most important thing for Harvey at the moment.
In the rounds of cruel torture, not everyone can withstand this kind of injury, and some people quickly recruit, not to let themselves live for a while longer, but to die happily.
The black barbarian society is in a period of awakening when the primitive tribes are turning to the feudal society, and the large tribes are constantly merging the small tribes, and when the scale of the large tribes reaches a certain level, the social form will change accordingly. The superstructure always determines the form of the substructure, and as long as one tribe begins to build a city on a large scale due to its large population, the feudal social form will come.
This time, the Holy Maiden appeared in one of the largest tribes in the vicinity, the name of that tribe was Ezhao, which translates to colorful sunshine in the Turkish language, and had more than a thousand brave black barbarian warriors, as well as as as seven or eight thousand people. Within a radius of two or three hundred miles nearby, it is one of the largest tribes, and the reason why it can get so many people is related to the Holy Maiden. The Holy Maiden gives the tribal chiefs divine authority and can easily gain the understanding and approval of the small tribes, and identification is a very terrible thing, which means not refusing to integrate.
The population was already larger than other tribes, there were more warriors, and with the blessing of the holy woman's aura attribute, Ezhao this tribe quickly changed from a small and medium-sized tribe to a large tribe. The main reason why Harvey didn't know about this for so long was because the slave hunting campaign in previous years did not go as deep into the mountains of Salme as this year. Last year, he had only a team of more than 130 slave catchers, and he didn't dare to attack a tribe of today's size, and most of the time he caught a few scattered slaves on the edge of the Salme Mountains.
Only a few soldiers and one place dare to enter the forest a little, even if they encounter some small tribes, they are directly killed, the old, weak, sick and crippled, and the others are tied up in a string, according to the agreed proportion to divide the fruits of victory, how can there be such a shout now, and you can't kill excessively. It can also be said that this secret can be discovered thanks to Wren's "Black Barbarian Reserve" plan, otherwise, according to Harvey's previous practice, don't say anything, just push it over, send the valuable back, and bury the worthless on the spot.
It's just that this cake is a bit big this time.
Thousands of black barbarian warriors are worth three thousand or more warriors under the increase of the special terrain of the mountains and forests. The complex and varied landscape limited the knights' role, and these monkey-like nimble brutes would often hide in the dense canopy of trees, and when the people under the trees thought they were safe, they would launch a surprise attack.
Harvey paced back and forth anxiously, he really didn't want to join forces with others, but at this moment, his appetite alone could not nibble on this sweet fruit.
After thinking through it, he punched the trunk hard, and his aching fingers were about to cramp, "Go and contact the other two leaders, we need to join forces." ”
One of the largest targeted exterminations in a century is underway, and in Ortlenburg, not far from the Salme Mountains, one of the most exciting events in history, the city lord Rennes has decided to implement universal education.
The monopoly of educational resources is destined to make those families who are not wealthy unable to support a child to learn knowledge, the world has mature paper-making technology, there is also movable type printing, alchemists always make something unrelated to gold is jaw-dropping. A labor force can only increase the burden on the family, and this burden will be extended for a limited period of time or indefinitely depending on the IQ of the student.
If you can't eat, how can you have the heart to support your children to study part-time?
Wren brought in a number of neighborhood councillors who were highly respected and decent people in each neighborhood. They may not be wealthy, but their social outlook is extremely upbeat, and they can speak on behalf of the residents of the neighborhood to a certain extent. When Wren said that he wanted universal education, the first reaction of these councillors was that it was impossible, and that there were about 60,000 to 70,000 school-friendly children in Ortlenburg's population of 278, and that Wren might not be able to afford the burden of education for all of them.
The second reaction was a surprise, Wren had been here for almost half a year, and Wren had never said a word in half a year, and his good reputation made people believe that the character of this city lord was strong, and the whole hall was boiling in an instant.
Ignorant people are always yearning for mystical and noble knowledge, and these old people may not have much culture themselves, but they know what culture can bring.
"Lord of the City, are you telling the truth? Is it really possible to enter school and receive education for free?", an old man in his sixties tugged at his gray beard, his loose skin was seriously deformed and stretched with his movements, he didn't even notice the tingling pain on his chin, his eyes were blazing and he looked at Wren with a hopeful look in the hope of getting a positive answer.
Wren smiled and nodded, "Yes, but it's not completely free. There will be five grades at the Ortlenburg Junior College, and each student will receive a free set of textbooks for them to study, but I must state that if this set of books is damaged or lost, it will be compensated. These textbooks will be automatically passed on to the second batch of students after they have been used by the first students, and so on, limited to five sessions, after which the textbooks will be replaced with new ones. ”
"The City Lord's Mansion will bear all the expenses incurred in the process of studying, such as tuition, food, accommodation and other related expenses, and will not throw these burdens on the students' families. But you need to pay attention to one thing, this money is not borne for you for free, but an investment behavior of the City Lord's Mansion. After the student graduates and has a job, the money will be repaid to the city lord in batches over a period of ten years, and no fees or interest will be charged. ”
"If anyone in the primary college is admitted to a secondary or even higher college, the extended fee will also be borne by the city lord's mansion, and at the same time all the fees that need to be repaid will be waived, and I will personally fund them to continue their studies. ”
Boom, everyone began to talk about each other. Wren's approach is indeed feasible on the face of it. Education has always been monopolized by the elite, and the demand gap for intellectual talents in the whole society is increasing every year, and it is not a problem to find a satisfactory job after graduation, and the repayment of education fees for ten years will not affect the daily life of these people.
For these people at the bottom of society, this will be an opportunity to change the life of a person and a family!
As for Wren himself, he also has his own plans. Once students graduate, they will go into all corners of this society, and a hidden social group will be formed with Ortlenburg Elementary College as the core, and Rennes will always be the absolute core of this special group. At that time, his tentacles will penetrate deep into the layers of this society.
Moreover, the empire is more thirsty for high-level intellectual talents, as long as a dozen or so of the tens of thousands of children can enter the imperial higher academy, under the operation of Wren, it is not difficult for a new group of powerful people to appear. These people will become the cornerstone of the Golden Thorn Family, guarding Wren's left and right, and accelerating the family's recovery.
Regardless of the final outcome of these students, in short, Wren will only make money, not lose money.
And these students have also received gratifying benefits.
There was no reason to refuse such a good thing, and soon the neighborhood councilors sang their praises and passed Wren's proposal.
When the news spread, in less than half a day, five scholars approached Hines.
Looking at his relatives, friends and acquaintances, Hines's old face showed no sign of shame, he had been thick-skinned all his life, and he could even do such a ridiculous thing as marrying a student fifty years younger than himself, and being spit on by a few colleagues was not a big deal at all.
"Oh, listen to me, I didn't know about this at first!", during the siege, Hines wiped the spit on his face, and said earnestly and comfortingly: "Besides, if something really happens, there is a high top, what kind of heart do we have? If something big happens, just say that we were captured by Wren, coerced and enticed, and agreed to his absurd request in order to protect ourselves, isn't this okay?"
"We're not doing anything bad, are we? we're imparting knowledge just like the bachelors of the other colleges, and these students are neither the fans of the Byron Empire, nor the barbarians of the Full Moon, they're all Orlandians. The only difference from other colleges is that the tuition and expenses of these students are borne by the City Lord's Mansion, is there any difference between them and other colleges?hmm?Is there a difference?", Henes was flickering, he was now the dean, and Wren not only promised him the corresponding salary and social status, but also promised to include him in the staff system of the City Lord's Mansion and become an education officer, which was what he valued the most.
After being a bachelor for a lifetime, he no longer has the impulses and ideals of his youth, and in his later years, when he has gone through most of his life, his greatest wish at this time is to find a thigh for his soon-to-be-born son. He has suffered all the losses of having no power in his life, otherwise he would not have been swept away and ruined because he married a student. Look at those aristocrats, seventy or eighty are not the same as gnawing on those teenage girls, and I don't see people jumping out to spray them for moral corruption.
In these days, power is still important.
Heines saw it very openly, let alone trick these former friends into coming here to carry out education for all, even if Wren asked him to raise the butcher's knife and force these people to impart knowledge, he would not hesitate at all.
