Chapter 935： 　Light of Glory (Happy Chinese New Year)

The Glory Light Academy was originally to be arranged in the Bauhinia Collar, but later considering the conflicts between the college land and the actual land acquisition of the Bauhinia Collar, Edward changed his mind and moved the academy to Hungry Wolf Ridge. And considering the future promotion of the college, Hungry Langling was renamed Guangmingling. Now that Guangmingling has restored and vigorously promoted farming, the territory has recovered a lot of vitality in this small half year. The people who fled and fled because of the tyrannical politics of Sir Hungry Wolf Sir Duluf, have returned after hearing the news. Coupled with the influx of caravans seeing business opportunities, this territory has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. .

After half a year of recuperation, it is of course not possible to make all the leaders rich, but at least in the cold winter, they can eat and wear warmth, and none of them freeze to death. This is quite different from the past, but the biggest impact on the territory is not the farming policy and related preferential treatment, but an academy established on the bright front. It was also because of the relationship of this Glory Light Academy that Hungry Langling changed its promising name.

The Glory Light Academy is located in the south of the Light Neck, just over an hour away from the city of Fenrir. According to Baron Edward's original plan, this college building will fill the nearly 1,000 acres of land designated by Fenrir. Only considering the current territorial taxation and students and other issues, so the college did not follow that magnificent blueprint for construction. Baron Edward divided this blueprint into three phases, and the current completed academy is only the first phase of the project. Later, we will choose the opportunity to expand according to the real estate tax and the actual situation of the students, but even so, the layout of the first phase of the completed college will occupy more than 200 acres. The building complex includes areas for different purposes such as squares, clock towers, teaching areas, training grounds, and dormitories for teachers and students.

Even though the currently completed college is only a general framework, many functional areas need to be further improved. But the establishment of this academy in just a few months was unheard of in the southern border of the empire. For this project, Baron Edward leaned a lot of resources toward Guangmingling. Not to mention, even the army was transferred to Guangmingling to participate in the construction of the academy when appropriate.

What this brings is extremely bright business opportunities. Among them, the building materials and construction of the college are the biggest ones. It's just that in view of the master of the Viscount, although the merchants were moved by the smell of the fish, they didn't dare to make a fuss about it, let alone cut corners. In the early stage of construction, there was a "style_txt;" style_txt; building a caravan based on a shoddy abacus. As a result, the caravan’s head was thrown into the prison directly, and the merchant was heavily punished for violating the territory’s commercial laws and regulations. The team has a lot of gold coins. It can be regarded as punishing those profit-seeking businessmen and letting people see that whether it is Edward or the Viscount Lord, they attach great importance to this college.

There is no shortage of colleges in the empire.

Especially in the Northland, there are several well-known war colleges. These war academies each year send an endless stream of officers and Titans throughout the Empire. According to statistics, from those war academies, at least 600 generals have emerged in 300 years. As for the officers at all levels, there are not many.

It's just that there are colleges in the north, but few in the south. Especially the commercial atmosphere of the southern border, coupled with the lack of force, so there is no war college. It's not that there are no long-sighted lords who want to run such an academy in the past, but the amount of expenditure involved often makes lords below the earls discouraged.

In Tieqiangling, there is a Gun of the God of War of a similar nature, but the size of the Gun of the God of War is only less than half of the glory of the light, and it is compared with the first phase of the project. Moreover, this War Gun Academy is the same as the war academies in Northland, and the recruits are mostly from the military system or from nobles. After the completion of the Glory Light, it was announced by Edward himself, facing the leaders of all classes in the territory.

In other words, whether you are in the army, aristocratic dude, or flat-headed people and consortium family. As long as you want, you can register for the assessment at the college. As long as they pass the examination, they can become the first batch of students in the college. Moreover, as long as it is verified, those students from poor families can be exempted from tuition fees and receive monthly living allowances. But the condition is that these students must obey the college's assignment after graduation. As for the distribution of the college, it is nothing more than military or political, and the length of service is five years. After five years, go and stay at will.

In this way, the academy is tantamount to opening a clear road for civilians. As in the past, ordinary civilians were either engaged in farm work or joined the army with their heads on their waists. But now, they not only have the opportunity to become a low-level military officer, they can even enter the political and legal institutions, which was completely unimaginable before. Because of these positions, they are usually stared at by the children of the nobles, and ordinary leaders can't even touch them, let alone intervene.

Of course, it's not so easy to keep going. After passing the college assessment alone, seven out of ten candidates will be selected. In any case, it is an opportunity for ordinary people to change their destiny. As long as it is a leader of the right age, everyone wants to have a try to apply for the college. The college intends to formally run the school in the spring, but this winter, the college gate was almost smashed by the students who came to apply for the exam.

The influence brought by the Glory Light Academy is far-reaching. Not only are the people affected by it, even the nobles in the territory also feel the turmoil. Nobles are most worried about the impact and changes that college students will bring to the power structure of the territory a few years later. It is conceivable that when a large number of civilians flood into the circle of power that should belong to them, even if the upper levels of this power pyramid cannot be involved in the early stage, the impact on the children of the nobles at the bottom is huge, even fatal.

It is necessary to know that the reason why those noble children can sit in the existing positions in the power organization is only one or two of them because of their own real talents, and most of them are from the family. When Edward's first speech at the academy was over, the city lord's mansion of Dawn Castle was almost surrounded by nobles. But at that time, Edward only left a sentence coldly: "This matter is imperative. For fear of being squeezed out, just ask your sons and grandsons to apply for the college entrance examination. Or that you so-called nobles are even commoners. Don't dare to compete with them?"

After that, several lords who were attached to Allen sent their children of school age to the college to sign up for an examination. Even Fenrir City’s youngest Lord Oss also participated in the college’s examination and successfully became a freshman in the college. Having these great nobles set an example is the same as supporting Edward's decision. Other nobles have no choice but to follow the general trend.

Soon, the special missions of the Glory Light Academy spread throughout the southern border. Some people raised their hands to praise him, but more laughed, and were not optimistic about this college. It's all because according to the way the college runs schools in this way, even if it is an earl territory, it is difficult to maintain its operation. Besides, Allen is only a viscount.

This morning, the students who were cleaning the gate of the academy saw a carriage without any signs coming slowly. Several students looked at each other. They were all from poor families, not to mention riding in a carriage. They were rarely seen in the past. After successfully entering the academy, I finally saw the pomp of those noble children. However, this horse-drawn carriage has neither logo nor fancy decorations. It seems to be from an ordinary wealthy family. But even so, it is not what civilians like them can expect.

Now the college has opened the door to these poor students, waived their tuition fees, and paid monthly living allowances. It also provides them with a lot of job opportunities in the college, most of which are the basic maintenance of the college. It is cumbersome but not onerous, and the students can support themselves. They don't need a family copper plate during their studies. If the inspections can save some money to subsidize the family, this is totally unimaginable in the past.

For this reason, the students who were born in civilians respected Edward and the Viscount from the heart.

The carriage drove through the gate.

The groom is a young man with quite eye-catching silver hair. He is dressed in ordinary clothes, just the narrow trousers common to ordinary fighters. It is covered with simple light armor. It looks like both a groom and a guard. The carriage stopped in a clearing behind the gate of the college. The young groom jumped out of the carriage, opened the door, and got out of the carriage first by a woman in a cloak.

The woman is tall and tall, although the cloak tightly covers her whole body, it is not difficult to imagine that under that cloak is a hot body. It's just that when the woman got out of the car, she dragged a big sword, together with the scabbard, suddenly, and the ground was slightly sinking. It was clear that it was a heavy sword. The epee was carried lightly by the woman behind her back, so the men passing by looked at the woman not as hot as before.

A woman who can dance with such a heavy weapon, even if she is not a master, is definitely not something ordinary people like them can afford.

Then a young girl came down from the carriage, her long golden hair was tied into two pony tails, her green eyes were clear, her beautiful features and dignified temperament made people believe that she was a noble lady. In this way, the combination of a female guard with an epee and a young and handsome groom seemed reasonable.

It's just that in the eyes of outsiders , the groom seems to have no consciousness of acting as a servant. Instead of serving the young and beautiful hostess, she pointed at the college and laughed out from time to time. It was the young lady who had a good temper and did not rebuke, but chuckled beside her. Only the female guard standing behind them, her words and deeds fit her identity. But as a result, it made the young groom's rudeness even worse.

People passing by can be sure that the blond lady should be the noble lady who went to the college to study, and the other two were naturally attendants. The college did not oppose the noble children to bring entourage to school, but there were strict restrictions. And the follower must pay the same fee, regardless of whether he wants to study. In this regard, the college has no accommodation at all. Such a measure, while limiting the number of followers, is also a small amount of disgust for the college.

So it is not uncommon for the blond lady to take two entourages in front of me.

As expected by passers-by, after the three people stayed for a while, they started walking along the main road of the college towards the teaching area.

[Chen Ran wishes everyone a Happy New Year. In the new year, be healthy and life is booming! Today's three watch, I hope you all have a good time. ]
