Chapter 159, Soldier Academy
Recruiting so many people at one time makes training a big problem. Teachers can only be drawn from the army, and whether they are qualified or not is not considered at all.
The selection criteria for wide entry and strict exit are destined to be extensive training. In addition to teaching cultivation methods and sharing cultivation experience, there is no need to embarrass a bunch of big bosses by preaching and teaching to solve doubts.
Mo said that he was an officer born as a son of a serf, even if he was an officer from a small aristocracy, his knowledge was not very high.
In the case of limited resources, many small aristocratic families only focus on cultivating the eldest son, and the rest only carry out the simplest education.
Brothers like Hudson have received aristocratic education, and after the basic training of knights is completed, they can still get the essence of life, which is already considered to be a good family.
The world of nobility is still so cruel, and the cultivation of the reserves of the knights can be imagined.
The so-called key training, in fact, is to eat better, to ensure the nutrition needed for training, and the daily management is a little stricter.
With more cultivation resources, then there is no need to hope for extravagance. Hudson was not arrogant enough to take out the cultivation resources of more than 20,000 people at one time.
It's not just a matter of money, but such a large amount of cultivation resources, no one will sell them at all.
The cultivation resources on the market are all scattered, and the prices are not cheap.
Backed by the Blackstone Mountain Range, the Mountain Territory can also produce some cultivation resources, but there are too few wild resources, and artificial cultivation requires a time cycle.
Although there are few cultivation resources, in terms of human resources, Hudson has eaten the dividends of the Coslow family's marriage.
In addition to the talents selected from the territory, there is also a group of small nobles who can be related to the family, and the children who have been sent over.
If you can't cultivate it at home, you send it to your relatives to cultivate, which is also a common thing in the aristocratic world.
Of course, this kind of training is not gratuitous, and they need to work for Lord Hudson to pay off their debts when they become adults.
It's not a loss to come and work, anyway, when the children of the little nobles become adults, they have to work for the big nobles first.
Bringing your children over in advance not only saves a lot of money, but also brings you closer and paves the way for future development.
"My own family" was labeled as a "descendant" from the beginning, and under the same conditions, the promotion speed must be faster.
The entire Alpha Kingdom is played like this.
The private army knights under the big nobles, except for a small number of family children and some knights who defected from outside, the rest are the children of small and medium-sized nobles who depend on them for survival.
Under normal circumstances, these people are enough for everyone. If it is peaceful for decades, there will still be a surplus of talents, and naturally there is no need to deliberately select from the people.
If it were not for the development of the Near East, without the threat of war, and according to the established model, Hudson would not have lacked basic talents.
Judging from the development of the territory, he can't afford to raise tens of thousands of extraordinary troops at all, and the main reason for such a large base is to screen elites.
There are more than 25,000 people who have been incorporated into the Reserve Knights, which does not mean that the final number of candidates is also so large. Only the best cadets can stay until the end and serve in the Knights.
……
"Duke, sending all these people to the academy is too big, isn't it?
If we get out, we'll be laughed at!"
Jose said bitterly.
With a wave of Hudson's hand, a soldier training academy appeared in the Mountain Territory.
Originally, I wanted to call it the Demon Martial Academy, but I was worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so I deliberately lowered the forced qualification.
It would be too hateful to select talents from among the serfs, and then train these people to be strong.
Not only the outside world, but also the nobles who depend on him internally, and even members of the Coslow family will stand up against it.
After all, as a member of the group of vested interests, no one wants to add a group of job-grabbers.
Hudson, who was as good as a stream, decisively changed his name to "Mountain Leader Soldier Academy" after listening to the advice of his subordinates.
In fact
, it doesn't matter if it's forced.
Just looking at the faculty of this college is enough to dispel most people's worries. It is really an academy that cultivates elite soldiers, and it has nothing to do with the Demon Martial Arts Academy.
The tutors of the academy are all low-level knights drawn from the army, and the only one who can be regarded as a strong man is Hudson, the headmaster.
Even if it is the most rubbish Demon Martial Academy in the whole continent, the average strength of the students is stronger than these mentors.
The situation at the Ministry of Magic was even worse, and the apprentices became mentors. It's not so much about training magicians as it is about training workers.
After tasting the sweetness of the magic potion's profiteering, Hudson couldn't hold back any longer. Unique Hastelloy agents are constantly being developed.
In order to conceal people's eyes and improve production efficiency, Hudson created the original method of producing potion ingredients separately, and the magicians of the territory were only involved in one of the production links.
No matter how simplified it is, it is also a purely artificially prepared medicine, and it is naturally indispensable to work workers.
Not to mention the high cost of recruiting magicians from the outside world, and it is easy to mix in the spies of the major forces, so they simply cultivate themselves.
Anyway, the early stage is all basic theory learning, and the cost of training is not high. You need to burn a lot of money, and that's after becoming a magician.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
This has already been tried, and the input and the benefit are not proportional at all."
Jose said helplessly.
The dream was shattered, and he originally thought that Hudson College was the same as the colleges on the mainland, and he, the vice president, was also a high power, and he jumped into high society.
It's a pity that Hastelloy College's coercion is too low, and external enrollment is self-inflicted, let alone recognized by all walks of life.
"There are only more than 5,000 female students, how can you be so exaggerated!
Don't worry, I'm not going to form a women's knights, I just want to train a small number of elites.
The assessment standards of all students are the same, and the elimination system at the end is implemented.
An examination is held every three months, and 10 percent of the students are eliminated each time, and those who remain after three years are the ones that really need to be cultivated.
The physical strength of men and women is different, and the number of female students who can stay in the end is only a few hundred at most.
This is the only time for large-scale enrollment, and if we recruit students again in the future, we can gradually raise the admission standards."
Hudson explained with a steady.
As a pragmatist, the selection of talents is to serve the next war.
Recruiting so many cadets is not only to select outstanding soldiers, but also to improve the quality of the population in the territory.
Although the academy's curriculum is mainly cultivation, it is still possible to have one or two cultural courses mixed with it.
Even if it is eliminated, the superficial knowledge learned in school is still a valuable asset.
In the future, if it is placed in other industries, the training potential is also higher than that of pure illiteracy.
If you enter the second-line army to serve, you can still use the war experience you have been exposed to in the academy.
It is unrealistic to command thousands of troops, but with a little training, it is still enough to serve as a commander of ten.
However, these things that may affect the course of history and change the future military pattern of the mainland can be done secretly, and there is no need to say it in advance.
If it can create an established fact, it is estimated that Xueyue Ling has also developed it, and the big cake is enough to appease the hearts of the people under his command.
The criticism and hostility of the outside world, at most, shouted a few voices, which could not shake his foundation.
"Lord Duke, these questions aside, should we find a way to improve the faculty?
With your face, there should be quite a few aristocrats who will buy it. I don't expect the academy tutors to be all strong, at least they must have an intermediate (level 4-6) level!"
Kane on the side cried out.
When Hudson first became the dean, he was still in a state of panic. I once thought that I was not strong enough to control the teachers below, and I was ready to resign.
However, after looking at the strength level of the faculty, Kane suddenly found himself as the dean of academic affairs, and there was nothing wrong with him at all.
The mentors are mostly first-order low-level knights, non-mainstream magic apprentices, first-order magicians and second-order intermediate knights are very few, and he, a third-order high-level knight, has become a strong man in the academy.
"Don't dream, even if they are willing to come and teach, they can only stay for a while, and most of the time they have their own affairs to deal with.
Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, such a teaching mode is not necessarily better than now.
What's more, in addition to their stronger personal strength, more profound knowledge, and broader knowledge, what other advantages do they have?
Now these mentors are all killed from the battlefield with a knife and a shot, and they have a lot of combat experience.
It's true that the personal strength is a little worse, but the victory is loyalty and reliability.
The army relies on the strength of the group, and the lack of individual combat effectiveness can be completely compensated for by the cooperation of the group.
There are so many Demon Martial Arts Academies on the mainland, and I haven't seen them cultivate a few Sacred Domain powerhouses, don't take them too seriously!"
Hudson said without changing his face.
Where is that he doesn't want to improve the teaching force, he doesn't dare at all!
An academy specializing in private goods, and inviting a group of aristocratic tutors to come in is purely asking for trouble.
Hudson didn't think that all the nobles were like the nobles under his command. If there is a teacher of the children of the great nobles, I am afraid that he will soon be able to see through his plan.
Even the staff in front of him may have seen through his plan, but they are not sure for a while. Or to say that he can't see through it, and deliberately pretend to be a lake.
After all, Hudson's series of practices seem to be just playing a side game, but in fact they are a challenge to the aristocratic system.
There was no objection, and that was because they ate Hudson's painted pie. In the depths of my heart, I have already fantasized about the beautiful life after the development of the Snow Moon Collar.
As for the interests of the aristocratic group, what does that have to do with them?
They now have almost nothing but the names of the sons of the nobility. If you want to cross the threshold of class, you must first serve Master Hudson comfortably.
To protect the interests of the class, you must wait until you become a member of a vested interest group. At the moment, their interests are completely tied to Hudson.
Follow the loopholes to fill in the gaps, plug all the loopholes that may cause trouble, solve the problems for Master Hudson, and establish a career for yourself is the right way.
There are no major problems, and Hudson doesn't need to worry about the subsequent site selection and construction of school buildings.
There are only two principles: it must be fast; You have to save as much money as possible.
The total budget for the whole year is only 2 million gold coins, and in addition to the land and money, it also includes infrastructure construction, the purchase of teaching equipment, and the salary of personnel.
After deducting a series of hardware expenses, the funds that were evenly distributed to each student were estimated to be not even fifty gold coins.
In fact, even these fifty gold coins cannot be spent on every student, and the maintenance of teaching equipment must also be considered.
Teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, and the maintenance of weapons and equipment are not big numbers, but war horses always have to eat food.
As a reserve of the Order, learning to ride a horse is a basic operation. Don't expect one war horse per capita, at least two or three students must be guaranteed to have a war horse.
Fortunately, Hudson mixed well in the army, and after leading the army to go on several expeditions, advanced weapons such as magic crystal cannons and magic crossbows were rich, and there was no need to spend extra money to procure.
Otherwise, this little money may not even be able to buy all the belongings, let alone support a year's operating expenses.
The budget determines the standard of living. There is no need to fantasize about Warcraft meat, it can ensure that the supply of ordinary meat is enough every day, which is good.
It is estimated that all over the continent, I can't find such a shabby academy.
However, it is still too expensive for training soldiers.
If it weren't for the profit support of magic potions, with the financial income of the mountain land, it would not be able to support this academy at all.
……
"Franz, a man has to stand up on his own!"
"Come over to yourself......
On the lawn in front of the castle, Hudson, who had no experience, started his career as a baby.
Melissa on the side was lazily basking in the sun. Under Hudson's hard work, she was pregnant with another child in her womb, and now she has little energy to care about the father and son.
No matter how Hudson called, his son just wouldn't buy it. In line with the principle that where he fell, he would lie down for a while, Franz directly lay on the ground and laughed.
The eyeballs have long since shifted from Hudson to Bear Stearns and Maxim on the side, and for the little ones, the smaller version of the dragon and the bear is much more interesting than Hudson.
The son was so young, Hudson didn't dare to let him come into contact with these two goods, and if he was taken away, there would be no place to cry.
In terms of age, Maxim is still a young dragon, and Bear Stearns is a bear child.
I am all children, and the consequences of letting them take care of the baby are really terrifying.
However, Warcraft also has a rebellious mentality, and the more things they don't let them do, the more they like to do it.
Hudson prevents them from getting close to their son, but he can't stop them from selling cuteness on the sidelines to attract Franz's attention.
On the contrary, Melissa was very open-minded and very happy for her son to come into contact with the dragon bear. It is estimated that she thinks that she has established a good relationship, and in the future, she will be able to realize the transmission of Warcraft from generation to generation.
With two Sanctuary Demonic Beasts guarding it, even if his son is raised, he can still pass on the inheritance.
In the Aslant Continent, there has not been a great nobleman who has declined during the period under the protection of the powerhouses of the Holy Domain.
Not yet at an age where he could be reasonable, his son didn't buy it, and Hudson couldn't do anything about it.
In the depths of his heart, he has already decided that when his son is older, he will arrange a tutor for him, and assign him a bunch of homework every day, so that he can feel what father's love is.
Maybe it was seeing Hudson deflated in the confrontation between father and son, and Melissa couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hudson, how old are you, and you're still competing with your son.
Franz is so small, how do you know what you mean. Even if you want to teach, at least wait until he is a little older!"
It's obviously nothing, but it's okay to say it. Typically, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and Hudson directly sent a blow to the eye.
Now is not the time to care, my son is too young to know what he is doing, and pregnant women can't afford to mess with him.
There was no superfluous nonsense, Hudson walked up directly, directly picked up the little Franz lying on the ground, handed it to Melissa, and said with a smile:
"The Coslow family has risen in my hands, and whether or not they can hold on to their foundation and stand firm is very important to the next generation.
Although Franz was still young, education had to be planned in advance. The family's education system is too old to adapt to the current situation.
Melissa, you're going to have to worry a little bit more about that."
Regardless of whether the aristocratic group is rotten or not, these ancient nobles are still very meaningful for the education system of future generations.
Generally speaking, as long as the system is strictly followed, the cultivated heirs will not be any waste.
Most of those who raise their children in later generations are mixed with too much of their own subjective will in the process of education, which seriously interferes with the normal growth of their children.
In general, the more controlling the parents, the more likely they are to raise their children. Even if there is a perfect talent training system, it can't stand the toss.
"Don't worry, Hudson. Before I got married, I copied a copy of the heir's cultivation materials from the family and showed it to you to see if it was modified.
If it's not too troublesome, it's best to hold a family meeting and invite the clan elders to work together to develop a plan for the cultivation of future generations."
Listening to Melissa's complaint, Hudson smiled slightly. The Coslow family is now like a blank sheet of paper, allowing him to paint.
The rules handed down by the ancestors have no binding force in front of him, the powerful head of the family.
In fact, the ancestors of the Coslow family did not pass down any rules, or set the rules, because for various reasons, they were not able to pass them down well.
Because the family has been separated for too long, often the same thing, each branch has its own record and different interpretations. Neither of them can convince anyone.
For Hudson, this is undoubtedly a good thing. There is no historical burden, and you can make rules according to your own will.
The house rules that the Coslow family is now enforcing are all added by Hudson one after another. Because of the short period of time, many aspects are not perfect.
Most of the time, it's the problem that happens first, and then a patch is applied, which is similar to legislation.
The only difference is that there is no way to ignore the past. What was committed in the past, the rules that are set now, can still be dealt with.
