Chapter 162 The Whereabouts of the Divine Soldiers
One hundred thousand gold?
The whole conference room boiled instantly.
What is the concept of one hundred thousand gold? One must know that Fang Xingjian's monthly subsidy is only 50 gold, and the monthly expenditure of the entire academy is only around 10,000 gold. One hundred thousand gold is almost equivalent to the annual expenditure of the entire academy. What kind of concept is this?
This is equivalent to doubling the budget of Coster Academy, so how much more cultivation resources can be purchased? How much can the salaries and bonuses of instructors increase? How much can various equipment and training facilities be improved?
This is simply a huge sum of money. Facing such a huge sum of money, how many people can not care?
In particular, absorbing private funds for the construction of the college, instead of just asking the country for money, this is the way that Xuezheng has always respected, and one hundred thousand gold is a big achievement.
And after one hundred thousand gold came in, what kind of status would Edgar, who had mastered half of the entire academy's budget, be like?
At this moment, Edgar was full of ambition, and seemed to have regained all the face he had lost in the past. He looked very energetic, as if he had been reborn.
Almost everyone present changed their faces, even Jackson. He looked at Edgar solemnly and said slowly, "Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce? Why haven't I heard the name of this chamber of commerce?"
Edgar said with a smile: "This is a newly established chamber of commerce. There are several nobles from the imperial capital. I had a very pleasant conversation with them. They just came to Coster, and they also want to contribute to this place and integrate into the construction of Coster. .”
Of course, no one would believe these nonsense. In fact, although there are a few nobles from the imperial capital behind the Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce, they are all down-and-out nobles who can’t get along with the imperial capital. family.
Cynthia and her husband Zakov died at the hands of Fang Xingjian, and the Arolun family naturally held a grudge against Fang Xingjian.
Especially their Patriarch Frank, he is Cynthia's younger brother, but he was brought up by Cynthia almost from an early age. He and Cynthia are half-sister and half-mother, and he almost treats Cynthia as the most respected elder.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to develop such an arrogant and domineering temperament of Cynthia.
‘He killed my sister and the family member I love the most in my life, this beast, this beast, how could he do such a cold-blooded and cruel thing? '
'What about my sister's children? Her youngest daughter is only twelve years old, how can I tell her that her mother was killed by a pauper, a mob, a beast? '
Fang Xingjian killed Cynthia, which was equivalent to killing Frank's mother. How could he not be angry, how could he not want to take revenge.
It's just that Teresia's matter is right in front of him, and there is an association monitoring it. As the head of the family, Frank can't be as impulsive and ignorant as Cynthia and Rebecca, so the method he chooses is money.
In the first step, he took out 100,000 gold coins, and even sold part of his property for this purpose, and then found two down-and-out nobles to set up a chamber of commerce and donate money to Coster Royal Academy.
Of course, one hundred thousand gold coins cannot be given at one time, and any sponsorship and investment cannot be given at one time, they are all allocated one after another.
And through appropriating funds again and again, he will gradually grasp the right to speak in the Koster Royal Academy.
He wants to marginalize Fang Xingjian little by little, from a genius student to an ordinary student, to a backward student, and even becomes a teaching assistant, and is even kicked out of the academy. He wants Fang Xingjian to become more and more downcast, more and more marginalized, and finally killed In an unknown corner.
For example, a smelly ditch in a civilian area, a back alley in a tavern, or a small forest in the suburbs.
Of course, this process may take him a lot of time and money, but as long as he can avenge his sister, he doesn't care.
Of course, this money will not simply fall into the water, it can be used to obtain speech money in the district college, and of course it can also be used to seek returns.
And the one hundred thousand investment this time naturally came with Edgar's judgment.
Edgar looked at the dean and said with confidence: "As long as I supervise the finances of the entire academy, they are willing to donate the 100,000 gold in installments. Dean, I hope you can temporarily give up interfering for the future of the entire academy." The college's financial situation, let's give our students fairness."
Edgar was very confident, not because he hooked up with Frank, nor because he had 100,000 gold chips in his hand, nor was it because of Fang Xingjian's failure or Jackson's fault.
In the final analysis, these can only be regarded as blows with sticks. His real trump card is Jackson himself.
Jackson, you are indeed an excellent dean, a dean who can give up his own future, sacrifice his practice time, and even pay for the students for the sake of the students.
But also because of this, your weakness is simply too obvious.
For this one hundred thousand gold, you will definitely agree.
Because the entire academy is much more important to you than Fang Xingjian.
Jackson pondered for a long time, then sighed slowly: "Can you, let me talk to the president of the Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce?"
Edgar laughed: "Of course." That guy is just a puppet, no matter how nice your words are, he will never agree to your request.
"Dean, after the meeting is over, I will help you arrange a meeting with the president of the Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce. There is one more thing to do. The high-ranking bone magic weapon that Mr. Dewitt created for our academy is already on its way, but The ownership of this divine bone remains..."
Jackson frowned and said, "How do you know about this?"
Edgar smiled and didn't say anything, but continued: "Although this high-ranking divine weapon belongs to Fang Xingjian in name, we all know that Fang Xingjian's current state is not suitable for owning such a divine weapon. For a blind person, possessing such a magical weapon is not only dangerous to himself, but also very dangerous to the people around him."
"The materials for this high-ranking magic weapon all come from Huang Lin and Castellan Coster." Jackson stared at the other side and said, "We have no right to dispose of it."
"I know, I just want to say that Fang Xingjian puts this magic weapon in his hands, it is a waste for him and us." He smiled: "So I hope to borrow this magic weapon from him, Hmm... how about 10 gold a day? Of course, we will pay the bill together after the state election is completed. Before that, we had too much money to spend. I hope Fang Xingjian can understand this."
"After all, the state election will be held in four months. We must find all ways to increase the combat effectiveness of the students. If Hammel or Ralph use this high-ranking weapon, it will greatly increase their chances of passing the state election."
The price was not high, but it was definitely not low. Looking at the instructors around who were convinced and nodded in agreement, Jackson closed his eyes, but couldn't find any reason to refuse.
Edgar laughed, and thought to himself: 'This money...huh...do you really think I will pay it? After dragging him for a few months until the state election is over, under my control, who will remember this blind man by then. '
‘Jackson, I will pick up the faces you grabbed off one by one. '
...
On the other side, City Lord Coster also came to the academy, looking at Lilia who was busy like a maid, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
He pulled the other party out and said coldly, "What are you still doing here?"
"I want to take care of the teacher." Lilia said stubbornly: "The teacher is blind now, I can't just leave him alone like this."
"He needs your care?" Coster said bitterly, "There are still four months until the district election. Look at what you are doing all day?"
Lilia lowered her head and said weakly, "I have decided not to participate in this district election."
"What did you say?" Castellan Coster's eyes were as big as a bull's eye: "Not participating in the district election? Just because of this blind man? He is already a useless person, do you understand? You will be delayed because of him Your whole life?"
