Chapter 422 Universal Education

Zhang Hao has a general understanding of the situation in the Eastern countries. But Zhang Hao didn't care too much—even if he cared, so what? Anyway, as long as I develop well and grow stronger, I don't care what others do!

Dissatisfied? Economic sanctions!

Now Dayang Group has this qualification, cheap medicine resources, excellent steel materials, etc., Dayang Group still has a certain right to speak.

If it is a coastal country, set up a battleship to bombard him.

Of course, Zhang Hao is still very concerned about the situation of the Eastern countries. Dayang Group is, after all, a business in nature, and profit and development are the main things.

However, in the past few days, Zhang Hao was too busy to touch the ground.

The ten new warships of the Dayang Group are about to undergo sea trials, and people everywhere come to Zhang Hao: Mr. Zhang, I want to buy a ship with a loan!

For example, West Kunlun is here, and Hu Juncheng, the shopkeeper of Jiuzhen Building, runs every day. West Kunlun is very rich, but they just want loans!

But Zhang Hao didn't mean that for the time being. Dayang Group's current background is still a bit thin, and it is not suitable to spread too much. But for these potential customers, it is not easy to offend, so Zhang Hao can only run away.

In addition, the large number of sea monsters also made many commercial firms greedy, and many commercial firms came to purchase. Of course, Dayang Group is willing to sell, but each kind of monster carcass is different and needs to be priced in detail. So in the past few days, Zhang Hao supervised the progress of this matter again.

Dayang Group's stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the shortage of talents is becoming more and more prominent. The talents selected from below are not enough to meet the current development needs of Dayang Group. Zhang Hao obviously felt stretched.

And the students in Beidou Academy need at least seven or eight years to grow up. Obviously, the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst, Zhang Hao can only keep running for the time being, and then discuss with everyone how to do better. There are many things that Zhang Hao also needs to discuss with others.

In addition, Dayang Group agreed to Nangongzhi to help Nangongzhi establish a school. This matter is also a bit troublesome, and Zhang Hao also needs some help.

After a few days of busy work, Liu Xinyu personally sent an invitation to visit the opening ceremony of Pearl Academy!

It's winter, and the Pearl Academy is finally about to start school. With the success of this great voyage, the opening ceremony of Pearl Academy was very lively. Even, the information was published in the "Ocean Daily".

Not only that, after realizing the value of the newspaper, the queen also founded a newspaper - "Pearl Daily". And this time, taking advantage of the start of school, a daily newspaper was published.

The word "Pearl" has a special meaning to Liu Xinyu and the country of Qixia.

At the beginning, Liu Xinyu exchanged the jewel in the crown for half a year's respite in Qixia Kingdom. Later, there was the Pearl Fleet, and now there is the Pearl Academy.

It can be said that since then, Liu Xinyu has been pursuing a "pearl", an invisible pearl - a powerful Qixia country!

When Zhang Hao came to Pearl Academy, what he saw was a crowd of people.

This time, Pearl Academy will enroll... 2,000 people!

Yes, 2,000 people, not the 1,000 people previously scheduled. Now the great voyage is successful and the harvest is rich. In addition, Zhang Hao and Nan Gongzhi's conversation about education has also been learned by the queen, but she has made changes.

But one thing has not changed, the admission age of Pearl University is also 7 to 8 years old.

And today there is another guest - Lu Yixin, who is from Nangongzhi's side, the representative of the country of Shaoze, the newly appointed Minister of Education.

This Lv Yixin is also an important adviser around Nangongzhi. After Nangong Zhi returned from Dayang Group, he promoted Lu Yixin as the Minister of Education, who was in charge of education.

The Ministry of Education has been specially set up, and it is a second-rank official. It is conceivable that Nangongzhi attaches great importance to education. Even Liu Xinyu failed to do this.

Now Qixia Country does not have a special education department, and Liu Ling, the principal of Pearl Academy, is just a member of the Liu family's royal family. This is about taking education into your own hands.

It can be seen that in this matter, Liu Xinyu's actions are indeed not as grand as Nangong Zhi's.

Early in the morning, Liu Xinyu sat at the high position behind the podium, right in the center, with officials from Qixia Kingdom sitting on both sides. As a distinguished guest, Lu Yixin sat at the guest seat.

Principal Liu Ling made an impassioned speech, promising that education will be free, and that as long as they pass the test, everyone will have fair educational opportunities; Pearl Academy will be as committed to fair education as Beidou Academy.

In the end, Liu Ling said: This time, 2,000 students are expected to be recruited, but whoever performs well in the test but does not enter the top 2,000 can still be admitted and treated equally—this is different from Dayang Group’s Beidou Academy.

Beidou Academy only recruits 500 people in total. Among them, 50 places are assigned to the failure group. However, Pearl Academy is additional screening, and did not give a specific number - it all depends on fate.

Also, Beidou Academy registers one month in advance, and the school will recuperate everyone's body before taking the test. But Pearl Academy is not, it recruits students directly.

The test time, rules, etc. have been made public long ago, posted in newspapers and on the streets and alleys.

The content of the test is relatively simple - there are not as many things as Beidou Academy. It is a mountain road, but the mountain road is rugged, full of traps, magic arrays, etc. Although it is only a small formation that cannot be smaller, it is still very difficult for children.

And the test time is also until sunset. There was no food, no drinking water.

As the test began, more than 100,000 children poured into it. This is an opportunity to change fate. If you miss Beidou Academy, you can't miss Pearl Academy anymore.

The overall number of people participating in the test this time is almost seven or eight times that of Beidou Academy, but the number of admissions is only four times that of Beidou Academy! Competition is more brutal.

As early as half a year ago, everyone began to consciously cultivate their children, just waiting for the school to start this time.

With the experience of Beidou Academy, the children have become much stronger, and the proportion of crying has decreased a lot.

Zhang Hao looked at the present, and suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart. These little boys and girls, still ignorant, are already fighting for their future.

The world of practice is cruel. What Zhang Hao can change is limited after all.

Time passed a little bit, and the pros and cons have begun to show. Some children walked and stopped, and finally began to cry. But more are moving forward. There are even some children who start to stumble.

Zhang Hao frowned a little. These children... probably learned bad things from their parents.

Then Liu Ling snorted even more, "Slip out those who stumble, and deprive them of qualifications!"

Liu Xinyu frowned slightly, but did not speak after all, just quietly watching the children's team advance slowly.

At the age of seven or eight, it is clear at a glance what his physical fitness is. Of course, some grit has also begun to show. Liu Xinyu began to record every outstanding seedling from the elites drawn by the Imperial Guard.

A little bit of time passed, and I didn't realize that the sunset was red. The temperature in winter is a bit cold, and it is even colder at this time. Most of the children have been eliminated, and a few elites have climbed to the top of the mountain.

There are still some who have not given up and are still persisting.

Some children's hands and feet have been worn out, and some continue to persevere with tears in their eyes. Some children are already sensible, but this blessing is even more distressing.

The sun still sets after all. A result that is cold to most people has finally been announced.

Among the 3,000 or so children who were the first to climb the mountain, 2,000 were screened out—not those who reached the top of the mountain, or the top 2,000 children, were admitted. Performance during the test period is taken into consideration.

Also, those who did not meet the standard and failed, only admitted 100 people.

At dusk, the heart-piercing cries of countless children erupted all at once.

Zhang Hao was silent. There was really not much joy in such a screening. Zhang Hao bid farewell to Liu Xinyu and others, with the cries of the children echoing in his mind and the sad expressions of the parents, he took the train all the way back to Zhang's house.

Early the next morning, Zhang Hao suddenly held the first meeting of Ninghe County as a 'Duke'.

This is the first time since Zhang Hao became the duke, he held a meeting to exercise the duke's rights - in the past, it was managed by his second uncle Zhang Shengye.

At noon, all the officials of Ninghe County, large and small, gathered in the Palace of the City Lord of Ninghe County.

Zhang Hao sat in the seat of the City Lord's Mansion, looked at the crowd, cut straight to the point, and uttered words that shocked everyone: "Everyone, I want to implement universal education in Ninghe County.

All boys and girls up to the age of 8 must attend school and receive education. Education expenses, funded from Ninghe County taxes! "

(The fourth watch, if you say the fourth watch, it will be the fourth watch. Even in the middle of the night, you have to do it. I'm so sleepy.)
