Chapter 597: Does the Holy Armament Court have a perpetual motion machine? !
Although Leonardo is an old senior from Yanbi, except for the dean, the other four teachers do not really treat him as an ordinary student.
As long as you delay graduation long enough, everyone in the university will be acquainted with you, and maybe a PhD student will be your junior.
In particular, Leonardo was still a student of Master Quevarin. It can even be said that King's University on the Isle of the River can live without a king, but it cannot live without Master Quevarin.
When the students and teachers of King's University on the River Islet "divided their forces to break out", they were not dispersed according to the college, but according to the teachers they followed.
For example, the reputation of Dean Senius is not as good as those of the masters, so at least two-thirds of the students he recruits are from civilian backgrounds, and a large number of them are poor.
Among the people who escaped with them, Leonardo and a few rich merchants and aristocratic children were the only ones with money.
Their ability to escape from Dawn Island with these precious manuscripts and books all depended on these few people.
"Yes, the students and craftsmen who were left behind, as well as the manuscripts, have been sent over." As if he had made up his mind, Dean Senius tapped the pottery bowl with a spoon, "In Before the sun sets, I must give a direction."
The other four teachers looked at each other, some were silent, and some were impatient and angry.
During this time, they had quarreled more than once over which direction to go.
Several wealthy and aristocratic students hope to transfer to Huaqiu New Bridge University, which has the best teachers and invitation letters have been sent to them.
But unfortunately, civilian students do not agree, because the prices and rents at Huaqiu Xinqiao University are too high, and they simply cannot afford it.
Charlie University in Longbow City in Windmill Land also extended an invitation to them, but the problem was that Windmill Land was to the west of Heshang Island, and they had to pass through the war zone.
The rest of the universities in the south of France are quite exclusive, let alone invitations. Even if they take the initiative to apply, they will not be approved.
The only Hermitage University in the Norn Kingdom actively and enthusiastically invites teachers and students from all the divided universities to go there, but it is too far away.
"Either we need to cross the war zone to go to Charles University in Longbow City, or we can go south to Xinqiao University in Huaqiu City." A scholar with a noble background said, "We will not only pay for traveling to Charles University in Longbow City. If we don’t get it together, there is even the risk of a military disaster. Is there any other option besides Xinqiao University?”
“Silvanik, aren’t we? If you have never been to Huaqiu City, you know how expensive the prices and rent there are.”
“Yes, we are from Laiya. You forgot that the local residents and college students threw something at our door last time. What happened to the vegetables and rotten eggs?”
“Academics have no borders!” The scholar named Silvanik lamented, “You are too narrow-minded”
"Academics have no borders, but scholars have borders. The French are all crazy. They were fine before, but since the Battle of Windmill, they have gone crazy."
With the advocacy of two generations of prime ministers and kings Under the instigation of the French people, the hatred of Leia and the desire for the windmill land among the French people exceeded the level that the facts should have.
Sylvanik covets the civilization, prosperity and promotion of Flower Qiu City, but other civilian students and scholars have to bear the negative impact.
“Then we can’t just sit here and wait for the war to be over, right?” Sylvanik spread his hands, “If any lord is willing to support us, let’s just go. But the problem is There is no one.”
“Ahem.” Senius cleared his throat, “This morning, Master Quvarin, who was staying in Changsong City, sent us a letter. A lord is willing to protect us for a while.”
"As expected of Master Quevalin, he easily accomplished what we couldn't do." The other civilian teachers were overjoyed, "Which kind lord did Master Quevalin find for us?"
Seny Urs stared at the letter for a long time, as if he didn't know the words. Under the urging of the other teachers, he read out the name in a deep voice: "Meliaty Falls."
"The Falls family, that's Fran is from a famous family, specifically the title... huh?" Halfway through his words, Sylvanik suddenly stopped, "It can't be the duchess, right?"
It was complicated to face Senius. With a look in his eyes, Silvanik immediately waved his hand: "No, no, why is Master Quvarin doing this? Isn't this pushing us into a pit of fire?"
After Silvanik's explanation, several others The teachers all remembered who it was.
The cruel duchess of Thousand Valleys collaborated with the peasant rebels to kill the noble Grand Duchess Meliati of Condai. These teachers no longer had the joy and expectation they had at the beginning, but looked at each other with suspicious and hesitant eyes.
Isn’t this asking them to accept the asylum of the rebels? How can this be done?
Cenius shook the letter: "Master Quvarin has given us a guarantee that as long as our students are not captured by the king's army on the battlefield, otherwise they will not be able to accept the protection of the rebels even if they accept the protection of the rebels. I didn’t see it.”
“This is too risky.” A civilian teacher shook his head with a wry smile, “Holy Father, why are we in such a desperate situation?”
After finishing lunch, Leonardo threw away his spoon and raised his head: "Is it the Qianhe Valley that expelled a large number of nobles and priests? I seem to have heard those nobles mention that they established a national law, right?"
< br>"Yes, they just issued an announcement to the imperial society a few days ago, and Rufei is studying there now." Senius threw the copied Rufei's letter and the "Holy Charter" to Leona many.
Leonardo spread the letter on the greasy table where he had just finished eating, chewed the crumbs, and flipped through it with his fingers stained gray-black.
It’s just that his flipping speed is getting slower and slower, and the distance between his eyes and the paper is getting smaller and smaller.
Looking at Sylvanik's pursed lips and the whispers of the others, Senius smiled bitterly and said: "Don't refuse in a hurry, listen to their conditions first, first of all Please pay for our travel expenses after entering Qianhe Valley, including food and accommodation.”
"Is it all inclusive? Isn't it just college students?" a civilian teacher couldn't help but ask in the first sentence.
"Including craftsmen and clerks, in fact, the one who really invited us is the newly appointed Archbishop of Thousand Valleys by Grand Duke Meliati." Senius looked at the words on the letter, "Second, they are willing Provide us with free school buildings and housing, and provide low-cost publishing and printing services.
Third, for poor students, the Thousand Valley Church is willing to provide 20 gold pounds without interest. As long as you can work for them for three to five years after graduation to repay the loan,
Fourthly, for outstanding students, they are willing to provide a scholarship of 5 pounds per year if they are willing to stay and work in the Holy Art Temple. , the local city government distributes free citizenship, housing and jobs.”
There were several clear swallowing sounds from the door, which were civilian students who were eavesdropping.
You know, the arts alone will cost a total of 8-18 gold pounds. Although they are civilians, these people are either citizens or armed farmers.
Otherwise, you have to accept funding from local churches or chambers of commerce, otherwise you will never be able to afford the annual starting expenditure of 2 gold pounds.
Is Qianhe River Valley so rich? No, is this archbishop so generous?
The teachers who were originally swaying instantly fell to Senius's side. They had no choice but to give him too much.
Not only is it close, but the benefit is also great. For now, this is a relatively optimal solution.
Silvanik could only turn his eyes for help to Leonardo, who had been reading the letter and reading the "Holy Charter".
At this time, Leonardo ignored him. As he read the letter and the "Charter", his eyes became brighter and brighter. He was reading silently before he read out the sound: "All the citizens of the territory." Everyone has the right to freedom and life, and no one may illegally deprive these two rights in any form...
You see, they abolished the Inquisition The judgment made internal fighting between nobles illegal, and they even abolished the "Fugitive Slave Law" and "Labor Law"!
Myrcella, is this the revival of the classical El Empire? ?”
Listening to Leonardo’s remarks, several civilian teachers quickly talked about the contents of the “Holy Charter”, and then there were shouts of exclamation.
"They abolished the dead-hand tax?"
"The judicial power of the nobles was revoked, something that the French prime minister did not do."
"Freedom, a flower of freedom The strange flower blooms on the civilized frontier of the empire."
"This is closer to Quevalin than France. The Master's Utopia!"
Sylvanic looked at the other teachers who were completely turned away, but took a deep breath: "Your Excellency Senius, I cannot tolerate going to Qianhe Valley, if you If you must go, please allow me to take my students to Xinqiao University.”
Before Senius could answer, a sharp blast sounded from Silvanik's side:
"Gear-perpetual motion machine?!"
