Chapter 445 The Necessity of Campbell Institute of Advanced Studies
It was already late at night when Bai Hao and his group returned to Campbell Manor. After strolling around for a whole day, everyone's feet were a little sore. Kalia even cheered with satisfaction. She had never had such a great time shopping.
"It would be great if we could go to school directly in Campbell County, so we could go shopping while studying." Kalia sighed sincerely.
Bai Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded without comment. Yes, it would be great if Campbell Territory also had a decent magic school. In this way, he would not have to go outside to study, but instead would attract people from all over the world to study in Campbell Territory.
Housing, medical care, religion, education, and elderly care are the five major issues that all towns, noble territories, and even countries cannot avoid. They are the reference benchmarks for judging the lord's governance level, the happiness index of the people, and the level of advancement of the territory.
Although his own Campbell Territory is the number one noble territory in the Omo Empire, it has relatively complete housing and medical systems, and religious support from Bai Hao, the future son of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect. Pension is a welfare policy, and it can be done as long as the economy and people's livelihood keep up.
The only thing that is difficult to achieve is education. Although Lord Campbell has the best magic elementary school in the Omo Empire, it is only an elementary school. It is basically only aimed at the enlightenment education of low-level magic apprentices. Even the middle-level wizards cannot provide them with a decent education.
For ordinary magic apprentices, as long as you are not too untalented and have a little hope of breaking through to become a mid- or high-level wizard, you must continue to develop after graduating from the Magic Primary School. The only way is to leave your hometown and go to study in Orleans, the capital of the Omo Empire, or go to a more distant foreign country for further study.
Because only advanced magic academies can train mid- and high-level magicians, and even provide comfortable research conditions for some great scholars. These are things that primary magic academies do not have, and are useless in terms of hardware and software.
The lack of a higher magical school will inevitably lead to the loss of some talent. After all, ten talented wizards left Campbell County to go to Orleans for further studies. It is impossible for all of them to come back. At least a few of them will stay in Orleans to make a living and develop.
After all, it is one of the top ten cities in terms of happiness in the Walterlan continent. Most of the city's infrastructure and welfare systems are much better than Campbell's. Although Campbell's leadership advantage is constantly rising due to the implementation of life-saving magic technology, it is generally still at a disadvantage due to the lack of a magic advanced institution.
Our own Campbell County is just a town with a history of less than a thousand years. Its foundation is still too shallow!
Kalia reminded Bai Hao of a very important point. The Campbell Territory has always been strangled by the royal family of the Omo Empire in the field of education. If the relationship becomes strained or they completely fall out in the future, the Campbell people's problem of further education will continue to be magnified.
Of course, the Campbell people can also go south to the Swat Empire to study. After all, the Swat Empire has four advanced magic schools, and each one is much stronger than Ornolan of the Omo Empire. The most important thing is that Bai Hao now has a good relationship with the scholars of the Swat Empire.
However, this still puts the lifeline of education in the hands of other countries. What if his Campbell Territory is isolated by other countries in the future? Bai Hao does not want the Campbell people's path to further education to be full of difficulties and they can only become "low-educated people" who graduate from junior school.
In any case, it is necessary for the Campbell Territory to have its own advanced magic school. It is required by the times and is needed by all Campbell people. Only in this way can the upper limit of the Campbell Territory be broken.
Looking at the construction process of the major famous universities in Walterland, they are actually surprisingly similar. They all proceed step by step like building a house. First, collect the building materials, then lay a solid foundation, arrange the steel bars, pour the cement, and finally build the house layer by layer.
The most worthy of reference are the four advanced magic academies in the Swat Empire, they are almost the most classic models.
First, they held various interesting academic seminars, academic achievement exhibitions, and even some superficial academic award ceremonies, all with the aim of attracting scholars from all over the mainland to attend the conference.
After attracting scholars, they have to find ways to keep them. The royal family of the Swat Empire will initiate various academic research projects in a timely manner, provide funds and venues selflessly, and ultimately allow scholars to temporarily settle down here.
In order to turn a short-term settlement into a long-term "nail house", the royal family of the Swat Empire began to rack their brains to lure scholars to establish branches of academic associations here, actively providing rent-free venues and daily operating funds, and even creating various reward funds to give money in various ways.
By this point, the Swat Empire had already gathered many valuable research talents from all over the continent. They took root in the land of the Swat Empire, created academic branches, and even established headquarters. At this time, the royal family of the Swat Empire finally began to show their fangs - building schools!
The Swart Empire would establish schools in places where academic associations gathered, and where would the most important teaching staff come from? Naturally, they would be the scholars who had stayed with them after going through untold hardships. They would promise them all kinds of beautiful titles and conveniences, as well as generous salaries, to transform the scholars into educators.
The minds of most scholars are not simple-minded. In fact, they are fully aware of the little calculations in the hearts of the Swart Empire. They deliberately walked into the sweet trap of the empire.
Scholars can conduct research in a comfortable and stable environment and gain money and fame, while the Swart Empire can also gain a group of loyal educators and many research talents. This is a good thing for both parties to benefit.
