The Glory Light Academy was originally to be arranged in the Bauhinia Collar, but later considering the conflicts between the academy 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 promotion of the college in the future, Hungry Langling was renamed Guangmingling. Now that Guangmingling has restored and vigorously promoted farming, the territory has regained a lot of vitality in the past six months. The civilians who had fled and fled because of Sir Druf’s tyrannical politics, 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 naturally not possible to make all the leaders rich, but at least in the cold winter season, they can eat and wear warmth, and none of them freezes to death. This is quite different from the past, but what has the greatest 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 glorious light college that Hungry Langling changed a promising name.

The Academy of Glory Light 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, the college was not built in accordance with that magnificent blueprint. Baron Edward divided this blueprint into three phases, and the current completed academy is only the first phase of the project. Later, according to the actual situation of the taxation of the territory and the actual conditions of the students, the expansion will be selected, but even so, the layout of the first phase of the college will occupy more than 200 mu. The building complex includes areas with different uses such as squares, clock towers, teaching areas, training grounds, and dormitories for teachers and students.

Even though the college currently completed is only a general framework, many functional areas still 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, and they didn't dare to cut corners. In the early stage of construction, there was a construction caravan who was shoddy. As a result, the caravan head was thrown into the prison directly, and the caravan was heavily punished with a lot of gold coins for violating the territory's commercial laws and regulations. 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 sent an endless stream of officers and titans to all parts of the empire every year. According to some 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 expenses involved often makes lords below the earls discouraged.

In Iron Gun Ridge, there is a Gun of the God of War of a similar nature, but the specifications of the Gun of the God of War are 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, it doesn't matter if you are in the army, the noble dude, or the flat-headed people and the consortium. As long as you want, you can sign up 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 service, and the length of service is five years. After five years, go and stay as you please.

In this way, the academy is like opening a avenue of blue clouds 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, the candidates who apply for the exam will be reduced to seven or eight out of ten. In any case, it is an opportunity for ordinary people to change their destiny after all. As long as it is a leader of the right age, everyone will go to the college to apply for the exam with the idea of ​​giving it a try. The college intends to formally run the school in the spring, and this winter, the college gate was almost smashed by the students who came to apply for the exam.

The impact of the Glory Light Academy is far-reaching. Not only the people are affected by it, but 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 initial stage, the impact on the children of the nobles at the bottom is huge, even fatal.

It is important to know that the reason why those noble children can sit in the existing positions in the authority is only one or two of the scholars relying on their own true talents, and most of them are from the shadow of 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 vassalized 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 member of the academy. newborn. 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 independent special mission of the Glory Light Academy quickly spread throughout the southern border. Some people raised their hands to praise him, but more laughed, and were not optimistic about the college. All because of 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 all came from poor families, let alone 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 appears to be from an ordinary wealthy family. But even so, it is not what civilians like them can expect.

Now the college has opened a lot of convenience for 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 trainees of civilian origin have a heartfelt respect for Edward and the Lord Viscount.

The carriage drove past the gate.

The groom is a young man with quite eye-catching silver hair. He is dressed in ordinary clothes, only the narrow trousers common to ordinary fighters, and 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, and 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 there is a fiery body under the cloak. It's just that when the woman got out of the car, she dragged a big sword, together with the scabbard lightly 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.

In the eyes of outsiders, the horseman seems to have no consciousness of acting as a servant. Instead of serving the young and beautiful hostess, she pointed at the academy and laughed 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 were quite in line with her identity. But as a result, it made the young groom's rudeness even worse.

People passing by can be sure that Miss Blond should be a noble lady who went to the college to study, and the other two are 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, whether he wants to study or not. There is no accommodation in the college in this regard. Such a measure, while limiting the number of followers, is also a nuisance for the college.

So it's not uncommon to see this blonde lady with two entourages in front of me.

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