Chapter 162: The Times (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )

Tutor Wilmer came to Ma Wei to explain the seriousness of the situation, but he never expected that in the end, he would become the one who sponsored Yinton School.

Is Yinton College short of money?

There is no shortage.

Does Inton need donations?

Need.

The school building needs to be repaired, the ground needs to be maintained, and the artificial lake needs to be taken care of.

Yinton College is no exception and welcomes donations from prominent figures and alumni.

Every year, Yinton College receives large donations, but there are very few generous people like Ma Wei, who are worth 20,000 gold pounds at the first time.

That's 20,000 gold pounds!

It's equivalent to the annual income of a top nobleman!

Ma Wei has tens of millions of funds in his hands, but he never thinks that 20,000 gold pounds is a small amount of money, and the reason why he donated money is to block the school's mouth, and second, to let Daniel's classmates know about Daniel's existence.

The money he donated was nominally for the repair of the boys' school building, and after receiving the money, Yinton College would definitely use half or more of its share to repair the house and give Ma Wei an explanation.

As for the rest of the money ....

Ma Wei will not ask, and the school will not say what to do, let alone care.

When Mentor Wilmer stepped out of the grocery store with a check for 20,000 gold pounds, Mavey.... It should be said that Nicholas von Manstein became the honorary trustee of Yinton College, which is a fictitious position, does not participate in the operation of the school, and does not have any benefits, but the reputation of Yinton College is specially set up for the gentry who donate 5,000 gold pounds and above.

Due to the sensitivity of his identity, Mavi wrote the donor as the Manstein Potions Company, and the major newspapers would soon report that Nicholas had donated 20,000 gold pounds to Yinton College in the name of the Manstein Potions Company.

At that time, the share price of Manstein Potions is bound to rise slightly.

Ma Wei, on the other hand, can also use the false position of honorary councilor to have reasonable contact with other 'alumni' who graduated from Yinton College.

It's called building momentum.

The hidden benefits of 20,000 gold pounds far exceed the value of 20,000 gold pounds themselves.

As for the establishment of an educators' association, Ma Wei is not joking.

He did have the idea of setting up an educators' association.

Educators include not only instructors from Yinton School, but also professors from well-known universities such as Cambridge and Oxford.

For these people, it is certainly not a good thing that there is an educator association to restrain them, but if they can get the corresponding rewards after passing the assessment, the situation may become slightly different.

Research funding has always been a headache for professors, without money, research can not go smoothly, many professors have to stop research because of funding problems, or bow their heads, and run to find capital to pull sponsorship.

If the Nobel Prize, the Fields Medal, the Grammy Prize, and other awards that can solve the problem of funding, as well as the 'association fund', are established under the Educators' Association, will it be welcomed by professors?

Although the assessment is terrible, the rewards behind it are equally attractive, like a sports event, the winner can get fame, bonuses and many other benefits, and there are countless applicants.

Once these well-known professors are wooed, their students are a lot of wealth.

The problem is that Ma Wei is not able to establish the Educators Association himself, first of all, he is not from Windsor, and he does not enjoy the policy benefits of the Windsor Kingdom, and secondly, he can't spare more time, so this matter can only be left to others.

Like what...

Arthur, the fourth prince!

Mentor Wilmer reminded Marvey that the establishment of the Educators' Association would help Arthur enter politics as quickly as possible, and that Arthur now had almost zero influence in Congress, and his proposals were submitted directly to the church or Rhodes IV for implementation.

"Felix, get ready, let's go."

In the evening, after the potions grocery store closed, Mavi asked Edward to stay and watch the house, and he brought Unity, the communication, and the mud shadow magic to the Regent's Park villa area, and found Arthur who was about to have dinner.

"You want me to come forward and start an educators' association?"

In the restaurant, Arthur, who invited Ma Wei and several others to dinner with him, was surprised: "Father, how can you have such an idea?" ”

"Your Highness, education is the most important thing in a kingdom, it not only involves the basic education of the people, but also related to scientific and technological research.

Ma Wei cut off a piece of Wellington steak, dipped it in some sauce and put it in his mouth, swallowed it and said: "The Romanov Kingdom has begun to reform education, if a country wants to prosper, it needs the support of education, even the magic array involves geometry and physics knowledge, and potions are closely related to biology, chemistry and other disciplines. ”

"If Your Highness can start an educator's association and assume the position of president, then you will definitely attract the attention of the eldest prince."

Arthur nodded slowly, he knew the importance of education, and it was clear from the way he arranged for Gulhana to work in the orphanage after he left New Ross City, that he attached great importance to the cultivation of children.

But....

"Can the eldest prince agree to Arthur starting an educators' association?" Gulhana took a sip of red wine and asked, "Such an important matter, once it is proposed, the eldest prince will definitely immediately realize the importance, what will he do when he arranges for others?" ”

"It's better not to let the eldest prince have a say." Ma Wei said: "This proposal, His Royal Highness should go directly to King Rhodes IV and put forward it in person. ”

"The king is an eccentric! He didn't like Arthur all along! How did Arthur start an educators' association? ”

"On the contrary, if His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince goes to the king as soon as possible and proposes to start an educators' association, the king will definitely agree."

In Gulhanna's puzzled gaze, Mavi explained: "Every weekend, the king asks his four sons to go to Windsor Castle for a reunion, the purpose of which is to promote the relationship between them, and the king absolutely does not want to see his four sons fratricidal. ”

"If His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince raised the matter of the Educators' Association in person, and the King handed over the matter to one of the other three princes to do, would it cause His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to be dissatisfied? Whether it will be or not, the king will definitely consider the feelings of the fourth prince, because His Royal Highness the fourth prince has been treated unfairly once, and if it continues to be unfair, His Royal Highness the fourth prince will definitely be resentful. ”

"King Rhodes IV is a moderate monarch, he is the best at the art of weighing, in order to avoid the fight between several princes in the future, he will give His Royal Highness the fourth prince a certain amount of compensation, the Educators Association, is the best way."

Education is important, the Kingdom of Windsor has paid more and more attention to education in recent years, but education is far away from the political core, and the major affairs of the Kingdom of Windsor are decided by the church, the parliament and the king, what does it have to do with the professors of Yinton College, Oxford, and Cambridge?

Education is the foundation, just like the foundation of the house, and the people who live in the house step on the floor, not the foundation.

In short, even if Arthur became the president of the Educators' Association, it would not be possible to shake the status of the king and the church!

Rhodes IV did not have many worries.

This is still the premise that Rhodes IV was aware of the importance of education, and it would have been better if Rhodes IV had not realized the importance of the Educators' Association.

"Tomorrow morning, the newspaper will report the news that I donated 20,000 gold pounds to Yinton College, and after the public opinion ferments, I will write a manuscript the day after tomorrow, calling on the Kingdom of Windsor to establish an educators' association, and wait until I see the news in the newspaper.... Your Highness, you should go to the palace as soon as possible and propose to the king in person the establishment of an association of educators. ”

Ma Wei put down his knife and fork, picked up the teacup in front of him and said: "You must be fast, because I will go to the second prince tomorrow and propose to him the establishment of an educators' association to raise the popularity of potions. ”

"So Father, you've thought about it for me..."

Smiling, Arthur raised his glass and motioned to Mavi: "I understand what to do, after raising the matter of the Educators Association to the king, I will personally go to Charles and ask him to dispel his suspicions about me." ”

Cooperating with smart people is worry-free, Arthur immediately grasped Ma Wei's inner thoughts, and with mutual cooperation, the certainty of this matter is even higher.

The next day, the Times reported the news that Nicholas von Manstein had donated 20,000 gold pounds to Yinton College.

A journalist with a nose smarter than a dog.

The news in the newspaper, as Ma Wei predicted, Yin Dun College, which received the donation, sent a letter of thanks that afternoon, the gratitude in the letter was overflowing, the words of praise were not stingy, and the words were full of the principal's desire to have a drink with Ma Wei.

Of course, Ma Wei didn't have time to have a drink with the principal, he wrote a manuscript calling for the Kingdom of Windsor to pay attention to education, and submitted it to the Times Daily, and he had just appeared in the newspaper, and the manuscript he wrote would definitely attract the attention of the editor-in-chief.

After writing the manuscript, Ma Wei went out to find the second prince and chatted with him for a whole hour, and finally convinced the second prince, which made Ma Wei a little strange that the second prince did not seem to pay much attention to education - the education of the people at the bottom.

As the Duke of Oxford, the second prince only cares about top schools such as Yinton College and Oxbridge, and as for ordinary public schools, he is not even in the mood to pay attention to them.

In the end, it was only for the sake of Ma Wei's face and the fact that the establishment of the Educators' Association could increase the popularity of the potions by publicizing the harmlessness of potions in various schools, and it was agreed to send someone to propose a law for the establishment of an educators' association in the next Congress.

After doing it, Ma Weidu has already done it, and next, it is the turn of the fourth prince to come out.

On the third day, at 7 a.m., with a thick morning fog, the courier delivered the newspaper to thousands of homes, and the newspaper headline was printed with the news that Nicolas von Manstein had called for the establishment of an educators' association.

At 8 a.m., a carriage bearing the royal coat of arms drove into Buckingham Palace, which was being restored, and Arthur stepped out of the carriage to find Rhodes IV, who had just gotten out of bed, and told him that he wanted to form an educators' association.

"You want to start an educators' association?"

Rhodes IV, who was eating scrambled eggs with butter and a newspaper in one hand and a fork in the other, glanced at Arthur, who was sitting across the table, put down the newspaper and asked, "Why?" ”

"London is the royal capital of the Kingdom of Windsor, and there are many children who cannot afford to go to school, but what about children living in other cities?" Arthur looked into the eyes of Rhodes IV and said calmly: "If you can't afford to go to school, you can only do some unskilled jobs, and I want these children to go to school, so we need to establish an educators' association to improve the situation." ”

"You.... Be as kind as your mother. Rhodes IV lowered his head and took a sip of coffee: "Since this is what you want to do, then do it, I support you." ”

The goal was achieved, Arthur had no idea of staying for breakfast, the breakfast in front of him did not move at all, got up and walked towards the door, and when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and asked without looking back, "Do you remember what my mother looked like?" ”

“.......”

In the silence of Rhodes IV, Arthur left the restaurant, and after he left, Rhodes IV put down the coffee cup, silently took out a gold necklace from his arms, and after opening the lid, there was a black and white photo of Princess Sophia, that is, Arthur's biological mother.

"You gave birth to a good son, Sophia, but his fate is already sealed, and without him, you can still sit by my side, but it's a pity .... Without him, the Kingdom of Windsor would not be able to continue, this is your destiny, and it is.... My fate. ”

In the dining room, a low sigh rang out.

After leaving the palace, Arthur went to Clarence Palace, where the eldest prince Charles lived, and met the half-brother.

Hearing the news of Arthur's arrival, Charles, who was eating soft-boiled eggs with a small spoon, was a little surprised, but he still met him, also in the restaurant.

"Arthur, come to me so early, what's the matter?" Charles gestured to the chair across from him, motioned for Arthur to sit down, and let the maid serve another breakfast.

"Charles, have you read the newspaper?"

"Which newspaper? I was just reading the Daily Mail. ”

The Times.

The eldest prince pulled out one of the piles of newspapers on his right, which was the latest issue of the Times newspaper, which mainly publishes two newspapers, one is the Times Daily, also known as the morning newspaper, and the other is the Times Evening News, two copies a day, to ensure that subscribers can see the latest news.

On the front page of the Times, the news of Ma Wei's call for the establishment of an educators' association was prominently printed, and after reading the content of the news, Charles frowned, threw the newspaper aside, and looked at Arthur: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Half an hour ago I went to the palace and told the king that I wanted to establish an association of educators, and the king supported me."

"Oh, the king supports you...."The eldest prince Charles nodded slightly, and continued to eat soft-boiled eggs: "You came here just to tell me about this?" ”

"Although the king supports me, I want to establish an educators' association, and I need your support."

"How can I help you?"

"I want you to use your strength to help me become the first president, and Shukry will definitely compete with me, after all, this matter was brought up by Nicholas von Manstein."

Hearing this, the eldest prince Charles put the half-eaten soft-boiled egg into the raised groove in the middle of the plate, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, thought for a while and said:

"You can help, but you have to tell me, what's in it for me?"
