"What do you mean, Bluffrey," Oliver asked, confused, he was familiar with the languages and cultures of different countries in different dimensions, but he still couldn't do anything about Lucian's habitual coined words.
Lucien said with a serious and sincere expression: "Although the idea of this kind of school comes from the apprenticeship system in the past, it is undoubtedly a new form, not only is there no personal attachment, but after graduating and entering the alchemy workshop, you can still get a salary, but it is slightly lower than the ordinary one, and the contract is longer, so I created a new term for it, Buffrey, it is synonymous with this type of school, and it contains the meaning of dreams." ” "What do you think?"
Atlante kept his eyes closed, and said with a smile: "I am very much in favor of the idea of promoting general schools and such professional schools, but there is a problem, in the past when the apprenticeship system was taught, as long as an apprentice was taught, this apprentice would work for the alchemy workshop for ten years without pay, and only needed accommodation and food, and now Blue, Brufrye, both ask the alchemy workshop to invest in training funds in advance, and ask for the salary of the apprentices who graduate, I don't think they will accept it willingly, unless the council and the kingdom give pressure." ” "Mr.
Atlante, times have changed, and the one-to-one or one-to-several apprenticeship system in the past can no longer meet the needs of the current development of the alchemy workshop, I don't need to say this, I believe you should also understand, just like the apprenticeship training of the council has basically been transformed into a school system."
"I would lobby a few of the companies in which I had a stake to invest in the construction of the first Buffrey in Kintal, and when two or three years later, with the support of a steady stream of professional workers, they would reduce their costs and broaden their markets, and the other alchemy workshops would probably still be understaffed, and the training funds invested by the company in the early stage would be recovered from the profits they generated, which was a necessary cost."
Lucien does not force anyone, it is always not easy to make others pay for things, fortunately, he is not a young man who just emerged when he lobbied for environmental protection, he has no authority, no influence, and no power support, he has become a member of the supreme council that holds the right to decide, with his own power and wealth, he can completely get rid of the obstruction of others, and make a sample first for people to follow.
And the actual cost is not much, the school site can allow Natasha to set aside a superfluous convent to make do, and take out part of the arcane points to issue tasks for magicians and graduated apprentices to teach, among which those with excellent teaching performance can enter the atomic research institute or follow themselves to study for a period of time, so that it is not unattractive, and from the second year onwards, the school's apprentices will be arranged to go to the alchemy workshop in their spare time to "intern", and recover part of the investment in advance.
Seeing Lucien's attitude, Atlante and other doubtful magicians were relieved, and he nodded slightly: "Indeed, times are different, old things should be buried in the past, I suggest that the Supreme Council make a resolution on Buffrey, encourage the alchemy workshop to invest in the establishment but not force."
Evans, if you want to build it, you can count me in it. ” Douglas slapped his palms lightly: "I am in favor of the Arlinge Telephone and Telegraph Company, which belongs to the Parliament, and others will take the lead in investing as an example." ” Since it was not forced, all the members of the Supreme Council raised their hands in agreement, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"There is also the question of whether the financial support of the council and countries such as Holm can make general education schools universal, and whether there will be no way to do after graduation, knowing that the current apprenticeship system is almost able to meet other needs beyond the alchemy workshop, and they are not pre-built to fit an alchemy workshop like Buffrey's apprentices, and if they spend a lot of money and do not get a change in their lives, they may resent the kingdom and us, and throw themselves into the arms of the God of Truth, completely against our original wishes."
Atlante is a master at figuring out people's hearts.
Lucien said with a smile: "Mr.
Atlante, the changes of the times are a chain reaction, when there are so many alchemy workers, with the increase of social wealth, with all kinds of alchemy items that shorten the distance between the city, the structure of the whole society will inevitably change in essence, maybe a job will be differentiated into many more refined and professional jobs, maybe there will be things that were unimaginable in the past, of course, the scale of general education will definitely be controlled, it cannot be blindly promoted, it must be suitable for our own financial resources and social conditions." ” "Then I have no opinion, Evans, you are very sober and not in a hurry at all."
Atlante has little research on the changes in social development, but his old partner Erica, the master of shapeshifting, is a brilliant historian who strongly agrees with Lucian's assertion that the social division of labor will be more detailed, and after a silent exchange with Atlante, he gives up his original skepticism.
The question of liberal schools was discussed for a while, and under the glamour of striking at the very foundations of the Church's faith, the Supreme Council finally adopted the resolution, emphasizing only moderation.
"I'll add two more words."
Lucien found himself more and more in the style of leading speeches, "I propose to promulgate regulations regulating alchemy workshops, and restrict the problem of overtime and child labor, so that the alchemy workshop cannot be too oppressive of workers, and there will be a scene of hell on earth, which will make more people devote themselves to the church, it is best to work less than ten hours a day, child labor can be used, but labor must be assigned according to age" Due to the problems of simplification and promotion, the alchemy workshop is currently in a state of power, and the dwarven craftsmen and human workers can still maintain good health, so Lucien thinks that it should be the first to regulate, and curb this inevitable trend before the alchemy workshop oppresses the workers and forms vested interest groups, which will be relatively simple.
And the use of child labor, Lucien can only reluctantly compromise, there is no good relief system at present, many orphans can find a job to survive is the most important thing, can not ignore the reality of the situation and blindly pursue ideals, that will harm others, too much.
"I don't think it's appropriate for me to discuss such a small issue at a meeting of the Supreme Council."
"Absolute defense," Artuman stopped Lucien from continuing, "Regulating the Alchemy Workshop and treating the workers well is very much in line with the Council's goal of establishing a new image of the magician, but we just need to set the general direction, and leave the specific details to the Affairs Committee to improve, and we will finally approve it." ” Oliver also interjected: "Evans, you are also a member of the Supreme Council, you can instruct the committee to draw up a statute according to your ideas, and then take it out for everyone to see, if the premise is correct, it can basically be passed, there is no need to discuss the specific provisions with us now, everyone's time is precious." ” Lucien bowed his head slightly, indicating that he was still adapting to the change of identity, and that he was no longer a specific executor, but an auditor, a decider, and a supervisor.
However, hearing Oliver say this, Lucien recalled once again the incident of lobbying for pollution treatment in the first place, in order to get the Panel to pass similar regulations, he was running around, lobbying big people, and finally had to stand in the council room to explain his views, be questioned, and could not even participate in the process of their discussion and decision, so he could only passively wait for the results, and now, Oliver has lightly allowed himself to instruct the Panel to draft regulations, as if this is a small matter of course.
"Is this what it's like to stand at the top of all magicians?"
Lucien sighed in his heart.
In the Supreme Council, the Grand Arcanist of Alinge is the chairman of the committee, which changes every five years, and the vice president is permanent, with Oliver, Atuman, and Manuel, the Sun King, who are strong in action and good at fighting or handling things, and lead them respectively when they are acting externally or exploring another dimension.
Since the regulation of the alchemy workshop did not involve the loss of immediate interests, the other members of the Supreme Council did not object, and the topic continued to deepen, discussing the control of the four countries of the Strait and the Northland coastal corridor, the construction of the three major fortresses along the Storm Strait, and the number of airships.
In this regard, Lucien didn't know enough about the situation, listened quietly, and didn't express any more opinions, after all, even the airship that looked bulky was different from what he originally thought, although it was a bit slow, but it used a lot of materials to build a magic array or magic array, which can be called an air fortress, and ordinary strikes will not cause damage at all, and it has an advantage that is difficult to match with an airplane, and it cannot be solved by ordinary bombardment.
As for large passenger planes, there is no need for mages above the high rank, and it is better to promote the magic steam train below the high level, so that more places are connected by rail.
Unconsciously, the meeting was coming to an end, and Lucien spoke again: "Everyone, the highest honors in the current major magical fields belong to various organizations and countries, there is no parliament, this is not logical, since the most glorious title of arcane and magic is the Grand Arcanist awarded by the council, the highest honor should also be the award issued by the council, and in the face of the rapid development of arcane and more and more achievements today, our standards should be stricter, not only to have enough achievements to remain in the annals of history, but also to have their own theoretical explanations. ” "If the council is willing to be established, I am willing to give one-third of my share earnings every year to encourage the development of arcane and magic."
After becoming a legendary magician, the preciousness of materials often has to be bartered, so the annuity income is actually not that important to Lucian, and it is better to make up for the impact of the headshot demon.
"You take out a third of the proceeds of the shares," Douglas looked at Lucian with some interest.
Because the Alinge Telephone and Telegraph Company is still in the investment stage, Lucien's current annuity income is about more than 10,000 gold thalers per month, which is about 150,000 or 60,000 a year, and one-third is a huge amount of sponsorship.
Lucien nodded seriously: "Yes, this is my wish." ” "What about you, do you have any opinions" Douglas looked at the others, mainly Hathaway, Atlante, Helen, and others.
Hathaway put it succinctly: "It's good that the council has an award. ” Anyway, it costs the money of the council, and the standard is very high, it is likely that there will only be one in more than ten years, and the others saw that Douglas was moved, so they did not object.
Douglas laughed and said: "Since everyone agrees, then we will set up this award, including eleven factions, the name is called the Lucien Evans Award, which is divided into the Evans Element Award, the Evans Astrology Award, and so on, rewarding eight-level perfection level magic items." ”:
