Chapter 63: The Academy of the Foothills
"General Xuanyuan, there is Lulu City in front, thank you General for escorting you all the way. The old dean leaned over slightly.
"The dean's politeness, then let's leave it at that. Little ones, I hope you will surprise me in two years. Xuanyuan Jingcheng smiled and said goodbye to everyone.
After nearly half a month of traveling, the group also arrived at the scope of Linglu Academy, and Xuanyuan Jingcheng and they could be regarded as having completed their mission.
"Is that the city of the Foothills? It looks so big!" From a distance, you can see the outline of a huge city.
"The city covers an area of 30,000 square kilometers. The old dean said with a smile.
"Thirty thousand! Oh my God, I'm about to catch up with Chang'an!" Everyone was taken aback, you must know that if you don't count the area of the peripheral areas, the area of the main urban area of Chang'an is more than 30,000 square kilometers.
"If you know how many students there are in Lulu City, you know that this area is not too large. The old dean said.
"How many?" asked Wei Suo.
"20 million students, 10 million permanent residents. The old dean first stretched out two fingers, and then put down another finger.
Hiss......
Everyone gasped, so many students, 20 million people! This is too terrifying!
On average, isn't it true that among the nine countries, there are more than two million students from each country studying in the Academy?
"Don't be so surprised, let me explain to you the composition of this Lulu Academy. The old dean simply sat down, anyway, he arrived at the gate of Linglu City, and he was not in a hurry to go in, so he explained to these little guys first, so as not to cause trouble.
When the others saw this, they also sat on the ground, and anyway, the ground was a patch of grass, and it was not dirty.
In addition to the nine foreign countries, there are also overseas non-lands on this continent, and the total area of the overseas non-land may not belong to the sum of the area of the nine countries, so there is also a very large population there.
In the Academy, there are 12 million students from nine countries, 6 million students from overseas Africa, and 2 million students from various scattered organizations or forces.
Among the 12 million students from nine countries.
2,300,000 from Wei;
1,700,000 from the state of Chu;
1.5 million from the Qi Kingdom;
1,300,000 from the Yan Kingdom;
1,300,000 from the state of Wu;
1,200,000 from the state of Zhao;
One million from the country of Hu;
900,000 from Shu;
800,000 from the country of Blegia.
"We have so many students in Wei State!" Liu Chu was taken aback.
"The total population of Great Wei is 800 million, and there are 2.3 million students, is it much?" said the old dean lightly.
"Well, such a comparison doesn't seem to be much, but it should be about the same, not everyone can have the capital to study in the academy. Liu Chu thought for a while and said.
With a population of 800 million, roughly calculated according to a family of six, two elderly people, two adults and two children, the number of children in Wei is about 130 million.
The age group for admission to the College is between 16 and 24 years old, and special talents can stay in the College for up to three years, regardless of age.
Of these 130 million people, one-third of them are between the ages of 16 and 24, which means that at least 45 million people can come to the college.
However, due to various reasons, such as financial burdens, such as not being here, etc., most people do not come to study.
These students from various countries do not mean that they are sent by the imperial courts of various countries, but only that their nationality belongs to this country, and most of them come from wealthy families in various countries, at least they are also children of wealthy families.
Of course, there are also people sent by the imperial court, like Liu Chu, these people will generally be focused on training, they have the financial support of the state, and they are destined to have no shortage of basic guarantees.
A penny is difficult for heroes, and there are many students who quit halfway because they have no money.
Therefore, in order to alleviate the financial pressure of some elite students, the Academy will also open up some tasks for them to do, which is equivalent to working for the academy and exchanging labor for payment.
"I want to remind you in particular, the students in the academy are divided into various factions, and the academy will not stop or suppress this situation, after all, the situation they will face in the future may be more complicated than what they encounter in the academy, and the academy also regards this as a kind of experience for the students. ”
"So, don't think that people from the same country can get along with each other, there is competition between students from different countries, and students from different forces in your own country will be divided into different factions, and even two groups of people from the same country and the same force will be divided into different factions. ”
The old dean reminded a few words, Liu Chu and the others hurriedly remembered in their hearts, don't be stupid and be sold and still count the money for others, the fellow may not be tearful when he sees the fellow, he may bully you just came, and he is not familiar with the place, so he will slaughter or sell you.
"Generally speaking, the biggest faction is the royal family of each country, and at present, among the ten major factions in the Minglu Academy, eight factions are from the royal families of various countries, Wu State, Chu State, Shu State, Zhao State, Hu State, Bei State, Yan State, and Qi State. The old dean said.
"Without us, Wei State?" October was quite surprised.
"The royal faction of the Wei State should be a plate of scattered sand, or it has no strength. Liu Chu thought that Emperor Wei was going to elect the "Seed of Hope" through a competition, and it can be seen from this that Wei did not have top-notch young people in the Linglu Academy.
"Yes, the royal faction of Wei is now a plate of scattered sand, it exists, but no one manages it, and it lacks a backbone. The old dean nodded, affirming Liu Chu's analysis.
"There are also two major factions, one is a patchwork of those scattered forces, called the United Alliance, and there are a few powerful masters in it. ”
"There is another one, which was established by a group of people from overseas Africa, overseas people from non-local places, beyond imagination of unity, but also beyond imagination of strength, among the eight royal factions, alone, none of them can fight it, at least three royal factions join forces to fight with it, five royal factions join forces, and they can barely make up a tie. ”
After the old dean finished introducing the remaining two factions, everyone closed their mouths in surprise, this overseas non-local faction, is it so?
"In short, the relationship is complicated, and some power struggles in the country will also be reflected in the academy, for example, the two sons of the king, they will definitely compete for the throne in the future, and how good the performance in the academy is, it will also add points to them to the throne to a certain extent. ”
"Liu Chu, your identity is particularly sensitive, once it is exposed in the academy, you may fall into passivity, after all, your father's name is too loud. The old dean looked at Liu Chu and said.
Liu Chu nodded, yes, the identity of Liu Zhanguo's son is too eye-catching, if he exposes himself, he may cause a lot of trouble.
Someone might come to challenge him, take the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and boast that he had defeated the son of the god of war Liu Zhanguo, what a great honor this is? This glory will attract many people.
There are also Liu Zhanguo's enemies, who will also find Liu Chu, the father and son will pay their debts, and Liu Zhanguo is dead, so they can only find Liu Chu for revenge.
Liu Chu's identity is known to many people in Dawei, but when he arrives at the academy, no one should know, at least no one will know about it in a short period of time, which gives him a buffer time, and he hurries up to improve his strength, and his strength is up, and he is not afraid of any challenges.
The twelve people present also knew Liu Chu's true identity, but Liu Chu believed that they would not say it, these were good partners who could be trusted.
"I'll tell you a little bit more about the internal structure of the city. ”
The old dean drew a nine-square grid on the ground, and the city was divided into nine districts, and the location of the nine districts was just like this nine-square grid.
The old dean pointed to the middle position, and in the middle of the nine-square grid was where the Minglu Academy was located.
The old dean pointed to the east and south sides, the east and south sides of the entire Jinlu City are the residential areas of the students of the Nine Kingdoms, which are divided into five areas, Qinglong District, Xuanwu District, Baihu District, Vermilion Bird District, and Qilin District.
"You should be assigned to the Suzaku District. This is the Tengsnake District and the Gouchen District, where those overseas non-local people and scattered forces live. ”
"Here, in the north of the city of Lulu, is a concentrated area of commerce, and among the 10 million permanent residents, except for the five million people who serve the Lulu Academy, the remaining five million people are basically concentrated here. ”
"You must remember that in these nine living quarters where you live, it is forbidden to fight and kill! As long as you violate it, kill it on the spot! If there is a conflict to be resolved, you can, go to the life and death platform in the Minglu Academy. The old dean reminded sternly.
Liu Chu and the others hurriedly wrote down this precaution again, in case they were inexplicably killed by the academy.
"I have introduced the structure of Lulu City and the basic situation to you, and I will tell you about the teachers in Lulu Academy. The old dean said.
Liu Chu and the others' eyes lit up, teacher, this is what they are most concerned about, having a suitable strong person as a teacher can make people's strength progress by leaps and bounds, Zheng Yi's strength is only in the Qi Gathering Realm, or is he just entering the Qi Gathering Realm, so his ability is limited, he can only teach Liu Chu to the Wufu Five Grades, and the subsequent cultivation will depend on Liu Chu himself.
If there is a famous teacher to guide him, Liu Chu can avoid many detours.
Liu Chu's current strength is the sixth rank of martial arts, and the level he has improved is because he participated in the "Seed of Hope" competition and gained rich combat experience.
Martial arts are okay, as long as you rely on your own efforts, it is possible to reach the ninth rank of martial arts, but when you reach the ninth grade, it is a hurdle, whether you can step into the Qi Gathering Realm and become a cultivator, in addition to your own accumulation, there is also the guidance of your predecessors and sages.
Without guidance, it is very difficult to enter the Qi Gathering Realm by relying on your own perception, but if you really rely on your own strength to enter the Qi Gathering Realm, without relying on anyone's guidance, as long as the road is not crooked, your future achievements are limitless!
"There is a dean of the Academy of Ringhills, and that is me. The old dean smiled and pointed at himself.
"But I'm not usually responsible for teaching students. ”
The strength of the old dean is very strong, and the strength is terrifying, Liu Chu speculated that at least it was the cultivation of the god realm, and it might even be the Taixu Three Realms, but he hadn't really seen the old dean make a move, so he didn't know.
"In addition, there are three honorary deans, who are also equivalent to vice deans, and they are here to sit in the town, like me, who do not teach students, and mainly maintain the safety of the college and students, and defend against foreign enemies. ”
"The ten elders, they are responsible for teaching the students, but they are only teaching a very few, only talented students can attract them to teach, and even accept them as disciples, to become the disciples of the elders, that is a very lucky thing, when the graduation assessment, the top 10,000 is absolutely no problem. ”
20 million students, divided into three sessions, each session of more than 6 million people, can be ranked in the top 10,000, which is already very good.
