Chapter 291 New School Begins
Chapter 291 New School Begins
Chen Cheng asked his question, and Finier saw the empty chair under the shade of the academy tree. She pulled Chen Cheng to sit down and said:
“What makes you think that the Adventurer’s Guild and those adventurers want these students of ordinary backgrounds.
There are all kinds of people among these adventurers, and many of them have certain strength and social status. They simply don't need an apprentice who knows nothing.
But these people are different because they are labeled as colleges, because behind the colleges is the college alliance.
These people helped the academy train students who studied the Way of Warriors. Not only did they make good friends with the academy alliance, but the students the academy sent to them all had certain talents in the Way of Warriors.
If they can train a disciple, then it will be a good thing for them as well.”
“By doing this, the academy not only allows these talented people from ordinary backgrounds to have a chance to shine, but also enables these students to truly achieve success.
They have the label of the academy, and at the same time they are also members of the Adventurer's Guild, which is also a disguised way to enhance the influence of the academy alliance."
After listening to what Finier said, Chen Cheng realized that even in this world with extraordinary powers, he still couldn't get rid of the worldly ways.
To put it simply, the academy uses its own educational foundation to select truly talented warriors from among ordinary people.
Then they were sent to the Adventurer's Guild in the name of the academy to be trained by the Adventurer's Guild.
Because they stay around adventurers and are exposed to battles all year round, naturally they have higher control over themselves than others, which is of great benefit to the practice of the way of warriors.
In this way, the guild gained talents, and the academy gained favors.
And those who came from ordinary backgrounds got the opportunity.
Two parties... no matter if it's three parties, it's all a profit.
Of course, how many students from ordinary backgrounds died or became disabled among them is not something they should consider.
Looking at Chen Cheng's changing expression, Finier knew that Chen Cheng must have thought of these things.
But this is the fact. If there were no academies and adventurer's guilds, these ordinary people of ordinary backgrounds, no matter how talented they are, would still not be able to make it in this world.
Just when Finier thought Chen Cheng would be angry, Chen Cheng smiled and said:
"Before this, at least it was pretty good for them."
Finier didn't know what Chen Cheng meant before, but she was very happy to see that Chen Cheng didn't seem angry.
At this time, outside the new school campus in Xincheng District, today is the opening day of the new school college.
In order to promote science and enlighten the people, Chen Cheng instigated Baron Cockeber to open such a school.
This time, what Chen Cheng asked Kekeber to teach was not what he had taught Ximov before.
Ximov and his classmates' classes are all crash courses. They already have a certain cognitive foundation, so the things they teach are targeted.
What is taught in this new school is somewhat similar to the school that Chen Cheng attended in his previous life. Except for starting with learning to read, it also provides a broad but shallow coverage of various subjects.
During these teaching years, Chen Cheng did not follow the teaching methods of his previous life which lasted for more than ten years. This broad and shallow teaching, including learning to read, only lasted for three years, followed by an exam, and then choosing a professional course to study.
In order to warm up the new school, Kekeber had people distribute flyers in the city ten days ago.
Many parents of ordinary-born, untalented children in the city were tempted when they saw the leaflet saying that their children could go to school without the need for talent.
"Oh, I don't know what this new lesson is about. Isn't it a bit reckless to send it there?"
A mother said to the father who was taking his child to register.
"What do you know? Even if you haven't learned anything profound, you can still be taught how to read and write. The factories opened by Bruce now give priority to recruiting people who can read and write.
Let the children study for a few years and learn a few words, then they will have an advantage over others when they apply for a job in the factory in the future."
The old father blew his nose and said.
"You are right. I didn't think enough about it. So you should send the child away quickly. You still have to go to work later."
Although they don't know what the new knowledge is taught in this new school, these parents think that being able to go to school and learn to read is a good thing.
Many ordinary families had the same conversation as this couple early this morning.
So early in the morning, there were already crowds of people outside the new school.
In fact, if we do a rough calculation, the current population of Huidun City is hundreds of thousands. Assuming that every family has five people and only one child, only one-fifth of these children are of school age, the total population is almost over 10,000.
Of course, the school-age children here are not six years old as mentioned in the previous life. The school-age children in this world are ten years old.
This age is also determined according to the learning of magic and the way of warriors.
Of course, except for some stubborn people who think that the new school is useless because it doesn't teach magic or something, and don't allow their children to come, there are still thousands of them.
Kekeber really didn't expect so many people to sign up, and the school he built could only accommodate 5,000 students at most.
When he first saw the construction drawings given by Chen Cheng, he complained that the school was too big and wasteful.
But looking at today's situation, what I built is still too small.
The parents outside who came with their children came to the registration office. Even though they saw that the person standing there was a baron, for the sake of their children, they still asked what this new school taught.
And Kekeber is not a Huang Silang type of person. He started out as a businessman, so he is very kind to these ordinary people.
"Sir, what does this new school teach? Is it true that the paper says it will teach children to read?"
In response to these parents' questions, the people at the registration office would nod in the affirmative.
Then he explained the new knowledge to them, saying that it was too profound for them to understand, and simply told them that the knowledge was learned from the newly opened factory in Bruce.
Some of the parents here work in factories in Brussels, so they have naturally seen the production on those assembly lines.
Before they could start working, the supervisor had to give them a period of training and taught them a lot of knowledge that they had never imagined before.
Although they still didn't understand what the new course was, they signed their children up so that they could get started faster than others when they started working in the future.
As for the tuition fees, Kekeber did not intend to make money from it. He listened to Chen Cheng's advice and believed that the most important purpose of running the school was still political.
These people will be the backbone of Huidun when they go out in the future, and as the principal of the school, with the teacher-student relationship, his position beside Huidun will be much more stable.
So he wouldn't embarrass anyone over such a small amount of money as tuition.
When the parents heard that the tuition was only fifty copper coins and that the school also provided lunch, they were extremely happy and grateful.
"The Baron is really a kind man. The tuition is so cheap, and he also provides a meal. I'm afraid this amount of money is not even enough for the meal."
Some parents who paid the registration fee expressed their feelings.
"Of course, and I heard that meat is included in the meal of this tube every day."
At this time, a student's father said somewhat boastfully.
"Hey, Wang Er, how do you know this?"
At this time, someone who knew this person asked.
And Wang Er smiled and said:
"Didn't you read the notice on the wall when you sent the child in just now? It clearly states everything. I believe the Baron would not lie to us about this matter."
These parents were eager to take their children to the classroom after registering them, so they did not even look at the notices on the bulletin board on campus.
Although they didn't see it, they still believed what Wang Er said.
