Yangming High School was originally just a relatively ordinary high school in the core area of Yuzhang City. Like the other high schools, it only accepted children from the core area. Over a hundred years had passed uneventfully, and there had never been any big news.
However, ever since the new principal took office, he adhered to the idea that all people were equal, and suddenly decided to enroll 500 students from the ordinary area!
This was quite a bold move. It was said that the principal spoke passionately for an hour at the general meeting of the council and won the applause of all the council members. Then, he used Yangming High School as a pilot to promote the concept of education without discrimination.
It sounded like a very good thing. Enrolling 500 ordinary students from the ordinary area into the school would allow the children from the ordinary area and the core area to enjoy the same educational environment. It would ease the gap and division between the ordinary area and the core area. The children would not be treated separately just because their parents were not citizens of the core area. How about it? Didn't it sound like a very good idea? This principal was simply a Virgin Mary principal with a strong sense of social responsibility.
Anyway, this principal relied on this plan to gain enough political capital and fame. Now, he had become the Minister of Education of the council, managing the education work of the entire Yuzhang City. As the principal's greatest political achievement, this plan for education without discrimination had been continued in Yangming High School.
It was just that in the first few years of the plan, children with potential from the ordinary area were selected to enroll. However, in recent years, the plan had completely changed. It had become a competition of money, sponsorship fees, and borrowing fees.
Everyone knew what sponsorship fees and borrowing fees were from a thousand years ago. There was no need for further explanation. Anyway, these two fees had risen from a symbolic 10,000 RMB a year in the first year to a terrifying 1,000,000 RMB a year.
And looking at the situation, this fee would rise greatly in the future.
Even though the cost was so high, the rich people in the ordinary districts still flocked to Yang Ming High School. They were willing to sell everything they had to send their children there. Once they entered the school in the core zone, they would be able to receive better education. Most importantly, they would be able to become companions and friends with the children in the core zone … They might even be able to marry the son or daughter of a senior swordsman. That way, once the level of the in-laws' swordsman increased, they would be able to obtain their citizenship quota and enter the core zone to become a well-protected citizen.
It was different from the citizenship that cost 1.2 million RMB to buy. That citizenship only allowed you to live in the core area, but it did not give you the status you deserved in the core area.
Only by becoming a relative of the swordsman could you get the respect of the core area and live a dignified life.
Therefore, everyone could imagine how popular these 500 places were. Every year, Yangming High School could earn hundreds of millions of extra fees through these 500 places.
Half of these fees had to be handed over to the Ministry of Education and placed in the small treasury of the Ministry of Education. The other half was at the school's disposal.
Therefore, Yangming High School had been building new teaching facilities and teaching buildings almost every year for more than a decade. It seemed that the money was really used for the school's education, but in fact … ten cubic meters of dimensional crystal powder used for construction actually cost 10 million RMB to buy … If one randomly searched for a gold medal seller on Taobao, they would buy the same additive powder for less than 800,000 RMB. It could be seen that there was something fishy about it.
Later, when there were enough teaching buildings built, there was no reason to build more. Therefore, they began to purchase all kinds of inexplicable things called teaching equipment … For example, this one-million-volt generator, which Yangming High School had probably never used until now. They spent a total of fifty million yuan to purchase it … God, it was only five hundred thousand yuan on Taobao, and it even included shipping.
This was what Yang Jiao explained to Guhan on the way … Guhan did not have any sense of justice. He was not interested and did not have the time to blame these education officials because it could not solve any problems. The most important thing at the moment was to restore the core area's communication function. This was the most important thing. Guhan seemed to be thanking the principal. Without his godlike corruption, maybe more people in the core area would have died.
Yangming High School was not far from the garbage area. It only took Guhan about ten minutes to lead the large team to Yangming High School. Along the way, they killed all the Yuan Kou they encountered on the way and rescued five strongholds that were surrounded by Yuan Kou. A total of more than 1,800 ordinary people were protected by Guhan, and about 80 sword bearers joined Guhan's team. They were organized by Guhan into teams 51-54. Guhan now had more than 1,800 sword bearers under his command.
When Guhan led the team to Yangming High School, something that surprised Guhan even more happened. Yangming High School was not completely defended. There were more than a hundred sword bearers guarding the entrances of Yangming High School, blocking the siege of Yuan Kou … Thanks to the principal's large-scale construction, he actually built a wall that was more than ten meters high for Yangming High School … The principal's reason was that he did not allow students to climb the wall to play truant during school hours, but the actual reason was, of course, that the construction cost was about ten times more.
It was also because of the existence of these walls that only more than a hundred sword bearers could rely on the school gate to block the attack of Yuan Kou.
Seeing this situation, Guhan naturally did not say anything. He led his team to clean up the siege of Yuan Kou, and then led the team directly into Yangming High School.
"Great, someone finally came to save us!"
"Sir, you came just in time. On behalf of thousands of teachers and students in the school, I thank you, sir!"
As soon as the team led by Guhan entered Yangming Fortress, a middle-aged man dressed in a gentle and elegant manner came over. He held Guhan's hand tightly and thanked Guhan with all his might … If he did not know this principal's style from Yang Jiaohua's mouth, Guhan would really think that this was a good principal.
"I don't want to hear your nonsense. Before I ask you, shut your mouth!"
Guhan said to the principal with a bad expression. The principal was embarrassed for a while, but he immediately shut his mouth very sensibly. There was no unhappy expression on his face. It seemed that there was a reason why he could become the principal of the school and the right-hand man of the Minister of Education and be placed in such an important position.
"You have a good place here. Our Sword Committee will immediately use your school district as a temporary battle command center. Do you have any objections?" Yangming High School was surrounded by walls on all sides. There were only a few gates for entry and exit.
They only needed to expend a small number of troops to guard the gate. Unless a high-grade Yuanzhong came, these Yuanzhong who weren't even at the Dragon Level wouldn't be able to break into Yangming High School in a short period of time. This naturally became the best temporary base.
What's more, Guhan brought almost 2,000 survivors. These survivors naturally could not move with the main force. The best way was to put them in Yangming High School for protection. Yangming High School was large enough to accommodate 100,000 people.
Although Guhan asked if the principal had any objections, in fact, he would not listen to the principal's opinion. Would Guhan move to another place if the principal had any objections?
Therefore, the principal was very tactful. He immediately expressed that not only did he not have any objections, but the entire school's 5,000 to 6,000 teachers and students would become the support of the army. Even if they had to go out and fight with Yuan Kou, they would not be afraid.
Guhan waved his hand and signaled for the principal to stop his long speech. He then directly asked the most important question.
"Mr. Principal, I heard that you have a million-volt generator here. Is it still here?"
"Generator?" The principal was stunned for a moment. "How can there be a generator in my school?!
And a million-volt generator at that. This is impossible. We are a school. How can we use such a thing! "
"No?" Guhan's face turned cold. Looking at the principal's expression, it did not seem like he was lying.
Guhan turned to look at Yang Jiaohua. Yang Jiaohua touched her neck, indicating that she was using her head to guarantee that there was indeed a generator in the school.
"Mr. Principal, are you sure that there is no million-volt generator in your school?"
Guhan glared at the principal fiercely. "I will send people to search the entire school now. If I find the generator, I will directly behead you for the crime of concealing military intelligence!
And your relatives behind you, all of them will be implicated. They will all be sent to the fields outside the city!
Mr. Principal, you have to think carefully! "
"Behead … Behead … Behead …" The principal could not help but shiver. At this time, a guy with the same temperament as him hurriedly came to the principal's side and whispered a few words in his ear. The principal suddenly felt like his whole body was about to collapse.
The person who whispered was none other than the principal's brother-in-law. He was currently in charge of managing the school's logistics.
He had just secretly told the principal that they had indeed bought a million-volt generator. This was operated by his sister, the principal's wife. Because he did not want to distract the principal, he did not tell the principal.
"This yellow-faced woman, she's trying to kill me!"
The principal was so angry that he scolded his wife in his heart. But I have clearly given my money to my wife for safekeeping. She does not lack money to spend. Why would she use my brother-in-law to make money behind my back?
"Forget it, forget it. Right now, it is more important to save my own life!" The principal immediately replied with a charming smile. "Sir, there is a mistake, a mistake!
There is indeed a million-volt generator in our school.
You do not know, recently we have frequent power outages here. The students cannot even take a hot bath.
So the logistics department bought a generator. They just bought it and did not inform me, so I did not know about this! "
"Oh yes, I have the receipt!
I have the receipt! "The principal said loudly.
… Damn the receipt.
