Two months after the new year, municipalities in various cities suddenly posted notices announcing the open enrollment information of the Black Forest Academy of Magic.
This open enrollment includes three types of students.
The first type, those with domestic household registration, who have completed basic studies, self-study algebra and geometry, and are under the age of 16 can apply. Tuition is free. The best will be admitted based on basic school results, self-study progress in algebra and geometry, and family circumstances.
It is specially noted that most people will not be able to enter the second year of the Magic Academy, and due to the limited teaching staff, only 1,000 people will be recruited in the first phase.
The second type, domestic household registration, is not the first type. It requires exposure to magic knowledge. Second-level mages who want to further their studies can also sign up. Two hundred people are required.
The third type is for sponsored students from domestic and foreign gentry. As long as they are willing to pay or sponsor magic materials and magic books, they can sign up. However, for the time being, only mages with the highest second level are accepted.
As soon as the announcement came out, there was a sensation everywhere.
The Magic Academy, a school that only royal nobles can attend in the Brave Story, is actually open to all citizens.
A very small number of knowledgeable people expressed doubts about the new school's teaching capabilities and the scale of its literature, but this did not stop everyone's enthusiasm. The new city was overcrowded for a while, and there was a long queue at the entrance of the Magic Academy, which had not even built a road in front of it.
There is no municipal staff involved in the entire admissions process, they are only responsible for posting notices.
After I started enrolling students, I was still in a hurry even though I had done some preparations.
The staff of the Magic Academy comes from three sources. One is the wild mages collected from the society, and the second group is people drawn from the education system of each city. There are not many in each city, and they add up to hundreds.
Finally, there are various handymen. Not all handymen do cleaning work. There are also financial staff, mildly disabled veterans, vendors, cooks, etc.
Although the framework has been established, the coordinated operation of various departments is obviously not very good, and it will take some time to adjust.
There is a slight problem, but the reserved start time is relatively sufficient and does not hinder the enrollment progress.
The starting point of the small townspeople is to get in touch with the mysterious magic, so the wealthy people value connections more.
The newly built magic academy has no advantage over high-level wild mages in terms of literature and teachers. Especially some fifth- and sixth-ring immortal mages, whose books at home can be as large as a large library.
But the organizational form of the academy is enough to make wealthy families tempted to throw their valued children into it.
Not to mention what the students will do in the future, at least they can make friends with a lot of teachers. Even if they only know ten or twenty three-ring mages, spending several years in the school will not be wasted.
Large domestic investors are proactive, while overseas investors are anxious.
Different from the refugees, the management of large households in the country is relatively strict... It is not appropriate to say strict, because there are many things that large households care about, but small people do not think it is a problem at all.
For example, the Kingdom does not recognize multiple household registrations. You are either a Kingdom citizen or a foreigner. As a Kingdom person, you are also obliged to report your overseas income.
The Kingdom does not recognize property rights certificates issued overseas, which is very strange. Property rights cannot be faked, and partners can prove ownership by conducting on-site inspections. However, because it does not recognize property rights certificates issued overseas, it is very troublesome to handle some cross-border businesses. .
However, it is easy to understand from the perspective of the Phoenix King, because once overseas property rights are recognized, when the territory changes, these property rights will become difficult to deal with, and there is no way to do redistribution like Feng Gu and other naturalized cities. , forcible disposal will even affect the prestige of the Phoenix King and the credibility of the kingdom.
Because the relevant regulations are so complex, large overseas households who want to naturalize will have various concerns.
Studying is different. Children can use this experience to establish a decent network of contacts in the kingdom. When the time comes, they can discuss splitting up and naturalizing or tricking people abroad. At least there will be someone to help when doing cross-border affairs. A favor.
The result of this comprehensive calculation is that the number of applications for sponsored students is more than the planned number of 1,000 students for general admissions!
The matter was reported to the Ministry of Education and presented to Wang Qi.
Wang Qi didn't think much about it, and simply limited the request to 1,000 people, and then filtered further based on the value of the sponsorship.
The environment in which he grew up determined that he would not have much favorable impressions of big investors. Based on the actual situation, the heirs of large families will pay more attention to the interests of their own family no matter what. Even if there are a few people with high consciousness among them, the number will be an absolute minority.
For these people, the only thing that can hold them back is their interests. Talking about national justice and historical achievements is just playing the piano to others.
Since we don't have any hope, we naturally only want the financial resources and connections in their hands.
Just like the wealthy families coveting the connections of their descendants, Wang Qi, as the king, only wanted to get the wealthy families to actively join the industry and collect more knowledge and materials for the kingdom.
There is no need to think too much about the pure exchange of interests. We will limit the number of applicants this year, give those who are unsuccessful a break, collect some money and collect books, and next year will be even better. Otherwise, everything will be collected this year and next year will be deserted, which will not be conducive to long-term development.
Wang Qi didn't like making money. Every time he made money, he would have a headache about spending it. However, the money sponsored by the big investors would not be handed over. All of it would be kept in the school and used to spend magic materials and purchase books and equipment for teachers and students.
Assuming that a sponsored student brings 10,000 gold coins, and half of the 1,000 students donate money, it is less than 100 million phoenix coins. For running a school, this amount of money only goes so far. For the college to really run, it still needs to add money.
For a relatively low expenditure, in order to retain senior teachers, Wang Qi and the Ministry of Education went back and forth, and the salary standards set were a bit excessive.
According to the "Minutes of the Magic Academy Salary Negotiation Meeting", the basic monthly salary of a second-level mage assistant is five hundred, which is doubled for each additional level, and the sixth-level salary is eight thousand.
With the purchasing power of a person who can afford to eat more than 60 yuan a month for every meat meal, this basic salary is definitely not low. Even if you don’t get tired of eating meat, Sanhuan can still reduce food expenses to less than 10%, and the college provides faculty and staff with Allocate a house, and you can make the rest of the money yourself. Not counting teaching achievement bonuses and professional title allowances, the lower the relative level of bonuses and allowances, the greater the proportion. Teaching assistants in the second ring can receive up to double.
The existing faculty and staff plus handymen have an annual expenditure of tens of millions. If you include the experimental quotas allocated to faculty and staff, they will spend 30 million a year on them.
Then there is the technical contribution, which is a bonus specially set for the Muggle application of magic. There is no upper limit. As long as the technology is used by the enterprise, the money will be paid according to the production volume. Although the commission for most technical products is less than one yuan, if a magic rocket engine can be produced, the commission for one engine may be tens of thousands.
Of course, this money is also available in the scientific research institute, and it has even been taken for several years. A lot of the money is used as personal donations and donated back to the institute.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Not to mention whether you have a noble personality or not, the main reason is that the government-run institutions provide good living security in all aspects, and there is no such thing as a TV to promote a "high-end" lifestyle every day. If you have too much money, you don't know what to do.
In fact, even if someone organizes to promote "high-end" life, it will not be of much use to these high-level talents. Although the kingdom's territory is small, it can produce diamonds, artificial gemstones, and gold. The luxury of magic cannot be compared with artificial gemstones. It is the luxury of Muggles. It's just a picky eater like eating some bird's tongue. How much can you spend on hard goods such as gold and gold for a few yuan per gram? Aren't you afraid that thieves will worry about it?
In short, the first batch of magic students has been decided, with a total of 2,400 people, of which 200 are directly sent from Phoenix Night Clan and Sharp Blade School. Let’s see what the student retention rate is among ordinary people in the first school year.
