Chapter 584 Change of Identity
"Brew Fry, what do you mean?" Oliver asked suspiciously, he was familiar with the languages and cultures of different countries in different different dimensions, but he was still powerless against Lucian's habit of making new words.
Lucian said with a serious and sincere expression: "Although the creativity of this kind of school comes from the past apprenticeship, it is undoubtedly a new form, not only is there no personal dependence, but you can still get a salary after graduating and entering the alchemy workshop, but it is slightly lower than the ordinary one, and the contract time is longer, so I created a new term for it - Brewfrey, it is synonymous with this type of school, which contains the meaning of dream."
"What are your opinions?"
Atlant kept his eyes closed and laughed: "I agree with the idea of promoting general education schools and such professional schools, but there is a problem, in the past, as long as an apprentice was taught, this apprentice would work for the alchemy workshop for ten years, only accommodation and food, and now Blue, Brew Fry, requires both the alchemy workshop to invest training funds in advance, and also asks for the salary of the graduated apprentices, I don't think they will accept it willingly, unless the council and the kingdom put pressure."
"Mr. Atlante, times have changed, and the one-on-one or one-to-several apprenticeships in the past can no longer adapt to the current development needs of alchemy workshops.
"I will lobby a few companies in which I have a stake to invest in the construction of the first Brewerie in Quintala, and when they reduce costs and broaden the market with the support of a steady stream of professional workers, other alchemy workshops may still be in a dilemma of understaffing, and the training funds invested in the company in the early stage are recovered from the profits they generate, which is a necessary cost."
Lucian does not force anyone, and it is always not easy to let others pay for it, but fortunately, he is not a young man who has 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 highest council with the right to make decisions, with his own power and wealth, and can completely get rid of the obstacles of others, and make a sample first for people to follow.
And the actual cost is not much, the school venue allows Natasha to make do with an extra monastery, and she takes out some 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 study with themselves for a period of time, so that they don't have to worry about being unattractive, and from the second year, the school's apprentices will be arranged to go to the alchemy workshop for "internships" in their spare time to recover part of the investment in advance.
Seeing Lucian's attitude, Atlante and other doubtful magicians were relieved, he smiled and nodded: "Indeed, times are different, old things should be buried in the past, I suggest that the Supreme Council make a resolution on 'Blue Fry' to encourage the Alchemy Workshop to invest funds to build it but not force it. Evans, if you want to build it, you can count it on me."
Douglas patted his palms lightly: "I also agree that the Alinge Telephone and Telegraph Company, which belongs to the council, 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 a question, can general education schools be popularized with the financial support of parliament and countries such as Holm alone? Will you not be able to find anything to do after graduating from an apprenticeship? You must know that the current apprenticeship system can almost meet the needs of other alchemy workshops, and they are not pre-built for a certain alchemy workshop like the apprentices of 'Blue Fry', 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 contrary to our original wishes." Atlanta is a master of understanding people's hearts.
Lucian smiled and said: "Mr. Atlante, the change of the times is a chain reaction, when there are so many alchemists, there is an increase in social wealth, and there are various alchemy items that shorten the distance between cities, the structure of the entire society will inevitably change essentially, maybe a job will differentiate into many more refined and professional jobs, or there may be things that were unimaginable in the past, of course, the scale of general education will definitely be controlled at the beginning, and it cannot be blindly promoted, it must be suitable for our own financial resources and social conditions."
"Then I have no objection, Evans, you are very sober and not in a hurry at all." Atlanta has little research on the changes in social development, but his old partner "Master of Transformation" Erica is an excellent historian and very much agrees with Lucian's assertion that the social division of labor will be more detailed.
The question of the liberal arts school was discussed for a while, and under the dazzling name of attacking the foundations of the church's faith, the Supreme Council finally adopted the resolution, emphasizing only moderation.
"Let me add two more words." Lucian found himself increasingly "leader" speaking, "I suggest that regulations regulate alchemy workshops should be enacted, and the issues of overtime and the use of child labor should be restricted, so that the alchemy workshops should not be allowed to oppress the workers too much, and there will be a scene of hell on earth, which will allow more people to join the church, preferably within 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 current alchemy workshop is in a state of powerlessness, and the dwarf craftsmen and human workers still maintain good health, so Lucian believes that it is relatively simple to take the lead in regulating and curbing this inevitable trend before the alchemy workshop squeezes workers to get benefits and forms vested interest groups.
There is currently no good relief system, and the most important thing for many orphans to find a job to survive is the most important thing.
"I don't think this kind of small issue is suitable for discussion at the Supreme Council meeting." "Absolute defense" Attuman stopped Lucian and continued, "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 only need to formulate the general direction and final review, and the specific details will be left to the committee for improvement."
Oliver also interjected: "Evans, you are also a member of the Supreme Council, you can instruct the Affairs Committee to formulate a regulation according to your ideas, and then take it out for everyone to see.
Lucian nodded slightly, indicating that he was still adapting to the change in identity, and that he was no longer a specific executor, but a proposer, reviewer, decision-maker, and supervisor.
In order for the Affairs Committee to pass similar regulations, he ran around, lobbied big names one by one, and then had to stand in the Affairs Committee meeting room to explain his views, accept inquiries, and even participate in the process of discussing the decision, but could only passively wait for the results.
"Is this what it feels like to be at the top of all magicians......" Lucian sighed in his heart.
Within the Supreme Council, the chairman of the Affairs Committee is the rotating Arcane Grand Arcanist, who changes every five years, and the vice president is a permanent one, led by Oliver, Atman, and Sun King Manuel, who are strong in action and good at fighting or handling things.
Because the regulation of the alchemy workshop did not involve the loss of current interests, the other members of the Supreme Council did not object, and the issue continued to deepen, discussing the control of the four countries of the strait and the coastal corridor of the northern land, discussing the construction of the three major fortresses along the Baofeng Strait, and the number of airships.
In this regard, Lucian didn't know enough about the situation, he just listened quietly and did not 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 magic circles or magic circles, which could be called an air fortress.
As for large airliners, there is no need for magicians above the advanced level, and it is better to promote magic steam trains below the high level to connect more places by railways.
Unknowingly, the meeting was coming to an end, and Lucian spoke again: "Everyone, the current highest honors in the major magical fields belong to various organizations and countries, and there is no council, which is not common sense. And in the face of the faster and faster development of arcane and more and more achievements, our standards should be stricter, not only to have achievements that can be left in the annals of history, but also to have our own theoretical explanations."
"If the council agrees to set it up, I am willing to donate one-third of my share proceeds 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, so it is better to take it out to make up for the impact of the headshot demon.
"You took out one-third of the share income?" Douglas looked at Lucian with some emotion.
Because the Alinge Telephone and Telegraph Company is still in the early stage of infrastructure construction, Lucian's current annuity income is about more than 10,000 gold per month, almost 150,000 to 60,000 a year, and one-third is a huge sponsorship.
Lucian nodded seriously: "Yes, this is my wish."
"What about you, do you have any objections?" Douglas looked at the others, mainly Hathaway, Atlante, Helen, and others.
Hathaway said succinctly: "It would be nice if the council had an award."
Anyway, it spends the money of the council, and the standard is very high, it is likely that there will only be one in decades, and others will not object when they see Douglas's heart.
Douglas laughed and said: "Since everyone agrees, then we will set up this award, including the eleven major factions, the name is called the Lucian Evans Award, which is divided into the Evans Elemental Award, the Evans Astrology Award, etc., to reward magic items of the eighth level of perfection."
