"???"
Seeing Duan Yuhan's question mark face, Dai Mingdao explained: "When we first came to the Imperial Capital, the garrison soldiers responsible for the security of the Imperial Capital wanted to charge us a high transmission fee. If they didn't pay us, we would have to walk across the vast grassland to the west. Royal Military Academy of Wa. There is nothing wrong with charging a certain fee for the use of the teleportation array, but it is very strange to charge students such a high fee without introducing a reduction or exemption policy. Those students whose families are wealthy do not care about the money and are powerful. If a student is a little more arrogant and just rushes through, how can a few guards stop him? For those students from ordinary families, the cost of teleportation can be equivalent to their family's food rations for half a year, so it is better to spend the money here. It takes a lot of hard work to cross the grassland, and some even just give up school and look for other options.
What does this mean? It shows that the Siwa royal family’s policy support for the Siwa Royal Military Academy has ceased to exist in name only. The Siwa Royal Military Academy’s position within the Siwa royal family is no longer the highest institution for cultivating talents for the country. This is not true between us and I could already understand it deeply when talking with Dean Bar Frieza. Although the reason given by Dean Bar Frieza at that time was that the frontline war was tight, I didn't believe it. The academy only has a total of more than 10,000 students, and each person The transmission fee is ten gold coins, I don’t believe that such a large planetary empire can’t even provide a subsidy of one hundred thousand gold coins.”
"Then why is the Siwa royal family no longer willing to support the Siwa Royal Military Academy?" Everyone is curious about this question.
"I have already said that the current Siwa Royal Military Academy has changed the original intention of establishing the school." Dai Mingdao sighed and said regretfully: "Do you still remember the greedy expressions of the two seniors when we took out the recommendation letters? ?A letter of recommendation represents a huge discount for one semester, and every student wants to enjoy such a discount. However, have you ever thought about the original intention of these letters of recommendation?"
"Soldiers who perform well on the frontline battlefield will be favored by field commanders and given letters of recommendation so that they can receive further military education and become a new generation of military talents." Mu Xiaodie recalled what Commander Simon said when leaving the recruit training camp. .
"Yes! The original intention of letters of recommendation was also to find talents for the Siwa Empire, but once upon a time this thing has deteriorated and become something that can be bought and sold. Students with a background can get a letter of recommendation through the operation of the family and be admitted without taking the exam; rich students You can buy a letter of recommendation and get admitted without taking the exam; but the real pillar of talent who worked hard on the battlefield missed the opportunity for promotion because his quota was taken up by others, and he embarked on another path in life.
You may not know that there is actually another way to enroll in the Siwa Royal Military Academy, which is 'donation for admission'. This admission method is specially designed for the children of nobles and wealthy people. Anyone who passes the ' Students who donate money to enroll in the college can get a "graduation certificate" as long as they study for four years in the college, which is commonly known as "buying a graduation certificate." Of course, if those students can study hard and have excellent grades, they can also get a "graduation certificate." Proven. This admission method not only solves part of the college's funding problem, but also gives some idle boys a chance to learn and improve. However, this admission method has long existed in name only, and it no longer even appears in the admissions announcement. Winning. When did the idea of 'donating money for admission' start to become obsolete? It started when letters of recommendation no longer included the name of the recommender. And why did the recommendation letters not include the name of the recommender? What about the name? That was determined by a proposal jointly submitted by the werewolf clan, fox clan and other royal clans to the Siwa royal family. In other words, the royal family, the royal family, the nobles and even the rich are working together to stifle the promotion path of the poor people in Siwa. .”
"Isn't this a slow suicide? Why do they do this?" Everyone felt a little uneasy.
"Top educational resources are limited. In order to obtain as many of these resources as possible, every student in the college will do their best to use various resources including family background, connections, etc. to deal with others, and the combination of powerful forces is
One of the most effective methods is that the current situation of three pillars within the academy is the result of mutual strife. Students with strong capital are more likely to obtain resources, and students who are already weak will either rely on strong students or be eliminated directly.
.It can be said that the current Siwa Royal Military Academy is the epitome of the Siwa Empire. The powerful families outside are also powerful in the academy. However, even if ordinary people enroll in this academy, it is difficult to show their ambitions, or they will be forced to become a big family under pressure.
Are you a lackey, or should you simply pack up and leave to serve the country and the people? That doesn’t exist!
The current Siwa Royal Military Academy is a veritable aristocratic academy, a life training ground for the new generation of aristocrats. In the academy, the aristocrats cultivate the connections, political skills, strategies, and royal skills of their family successors, laying the foundation for the future of the family.
Everything is for the benefit of the family, so what does it have to do with ordinary people? What benefit does it have to the country? What is the point of supporting such a college?"
"So, the current Siwa Royal Military Academy is indeed contrary to the original intention of running the school." After hearing this, everyone sighed with emotion and felt a little heavy.
"Take me as an example. During the more than half a month we have been here, students have come over every day to get close to each other and become familiar with each other. They are either coming to discuss long-term cooperation with us on equipment and medicines, or they are looking to form alliances with us.
Their support often interrupts my research train of thought, which is annoying. I think it’s too much to stay in such a college for a month, let alone four years.”
"Is Lord Dai here?"
Just as Dai Mingdao was talking, a loud knock on the door came from outside.
"Look, this is the third time today." Dai Mingdao shrugged. Red Tail immediately went out to tactfully eject the guests.
"Since Mingdao doesn't like this place, and we've learned enough, let's pack up and leave!" Li Lifei said with an indifferent attitude.
"I still have some things to deal with, can I leave tomorrow?" Xiaowei asked.
"I'm going to take the exam right away and study the fourth part first." Meng Yuanyun said and prepared to walk out.
"Don't worry, I just said that I hate the endless interruptions, and I don't have to leave now. You can just discuss and set a time before leaving." Dai Mingdao quickly stopped them, and then changed the subject and said, "Alright.
One thing: there is something fishy about the contract we signed when we enrolled! There is also a clause hidden in this contract. The general content is that as a student of the Siwa Royal Military Academy, you have the obligation to share the joys and sorrows with the academy.
When encountering a major crisis, we should help the college tide over the difficulties without hesitation."
"When the school is in trouble, it should have the money and strength to contribute to the students. This is a matter of course."
"The question is why the college wrote this clause in the contract in a vague way, and it was written in the corner of the contract with almost invisible light-colored ink." Dai Mingdao reminded: "This clause seems reasonable, but it is
Two loopholes are left: first, how to identify the four words "major crisis", whether it is the identification of the dean of the college or the identification of the students; second, the two words "obligation" represent the signing of this contract.
In the future, there will be no such thing as voluntariness, and students must fully obey the arrangements of the dean and the college management. For example, after excessive feces and urine burned down the competition arena, if the dean regards the destruction of the competition arena as a 'major crisis' for the academy, he proposes that all students must
To donate money and materials, we must donate part of our property to the college without hesitation. Instead of doing this, I might as well spend one million gold coins to buy the naming rights!"
"I feel very uncomfortable after such an analysis." Several girls who signed the enrollment contract felt their scalps go numb.
"You don't have to be too nervous. The enrollment contract is only valid for students. As long as we graduate from here, won't we be free? So, we should learn what we should learn in these days, buy what we should buy, and then apply for graduation.
Just take the exam." De Mingdao reminded.
Everyone nodded and began to make arrangements for graduation.
"Do you know what happened to the werewolf prince and vixen No. 2? I haven't seen them for half a month. Are they getting involved again?" Dai Mingdao suddenly asked.
"That's not true. I heard from the gossip that the two men lost all their hair by fire in the competition field and were using hair-enhancing agents every day. However, more than half a month later, it seems to have no effect..."
Mu Xiaodie suddenly laughed as she spoke.
"Isn't it permanent hair removal?" Dai Mingdao couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"They have grown a lot of hair after pooping and urinating, so they must be." Li Lifei analyzed: "Maybe it's because orcs have a long lifespan, and it takes a relatively long time for them to grow hair..."
At this time, Hongwei came back from outside and reported: "Master, His Royal Highness Prince Dures invites you and your ladies to attend a meeting to be held in the auditorium tonight."
"Oh, what is the specific content of the meeting?"
"It is a meeting about the off-campus practical activities on behalf of our Siwa Royal Military Academy to participate in the Puridas Rare Treasures Fair. It is held once every year at this time. The purpose is to implement the personnel participating in the off-campus practical activities and the treasures sold by the college at the fair.
.”
"Okay, I understand, let's go take a look at it tonight." Dai Mingdao agreed immediately, and then asked: "Red tail, use up all your college points as soon as possible. You can buy rare materials, professional knowledge, etc."
.After we leave the academy, we may not come back, and keeping these points is a waste."
"Yes, Master."
"Hey, the same is true for the academy, and the same is true for the entire Siwa Empire..." Dai Mingdao continued: "Ordinary people have lost their way to promotion and cannot change their own destiny; the operation of the country is controlled by the royal family and nobles; everything here is
It's like a pool of stagnant water with no life. It's time for such a galaxy empire to change!"
