I need to order a few more chapters when I see repeated chapters ~
"..."
Dean Justin frowned. He was a little unhappy, but when he looked at the expressionless Si Sheng, he suppressed his anger.
He wanted to see what the new Emperor could do to him.
Even if he had the support of Si Sheng, he had to be reasonable!
However, Xu Sili did not intend to be reasonable.
He opened the interface of the territory and selected the Imperial City. All the buildings in the city were displayed in front of him.
When he entered the Elementalist College, more detailed information popped up.
The Lv 2 College, including all the staff and students, had a total of more than 10,000 people. Last year, 105 Warrior Elementalists and 2 Spirit Elementalists were sent to the frontline.
The annual funding was about 15% of the financial expenditure.
He was not wrong. The education of just 10,000 people took up 15% of the annual expenditure of the Roland Empire. The frontline military took up 50%, and the rest was given to other fields.
Xu Sili clicked on it and roughly knew where the money was spent.
Every year in June, the Elementalist College would send people to all parts of the country to test the talent of the five-year-old children.
There were more than 90 million people in the country, but only 700 to 800 gifted children would be tested every year. It was more cruel than selecting one in a million children.
These children would be sent to the Elementalist College to study and train.
Regardless of aristocrats or commoners, tuition, fees, accommodation, transportation, and so on were all waived. There was also a certain amount of benefits every month.
When the Elementalists reached the age of 18 and reached the level of one star, they would be sent to the frontline to participate in the war. As for those below one star, they would be stationed in various places and continue to train.
These Elementalists would receive monthly benefits from the Elementalist Association that belonged to the Elementalist College as usual.
Different levels of Elementalists received different amounts of benefits. For example, a two-star Elementalist like the dean could receive an additional 30,000 Exxon every month without doing anything.
Therefore, although Elementalists had to join the army, it was definitely a path to heaven for some commoners.
As for aristocrats …
Not only could the disciples hold great power in the army, but they could also receive huge subsidies. Naturally, everyone wanted to enter the academy.
Even if they did not reach the level of a one-star, they would be able to occupy a position in the various local armies and would not have to risk their lives. Who would be willing to give up such a lucrative job?
Looking at the data and rules, Xu Sili instantly thought of many things.
Then he smiled.
Very good, very good. He was still worried about the lack of funds in the national treasury. He did not expect that he would be able to gain something by coming to the Elementalist College.
Of course, in the short term, Xu Sili did not intend to make drastic changes. He wanted to take things slowly.
The more you eat, the more you have to do.
Elementalists were people with great power. If they could play a role that was commensurate with their value, he would be more than willing to give them so much money every year.
As for now, it was best to start with the dean.
Xu Sili raised his eyes and looked at Dean Justin with his light purple eyes. There was a faint smile on his face.
"Dean Justin, did you just say that you're willing to do anything to make up for your crimes?"
Crimes?
This word made Dean Justin's pupils shrink.
It was indeed inappropriate for him to not come out to greet the Emperor when he heard that he was outside, but …
It was not a crime, right?
However, just as he was about to retort, he felt the blond man beside him turn his eyes and glance at him indifferently.
Dean Justin's hair stood on end. A sharp sense of crisis crept into his heart, making him not dare to act rashly.
He was a little sullen, but he still bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Xu Sili nodded in satisfaction.
"Good, very good."
He looked at Dean Justin and smiled. "You should have heard of Mercenary Town, right?"
Dean Justin nodded slightly.
"There seemed to be an exciting battle in Mercenary Town today. I heard about it, but before I could watch the broadcast, Your Majesty came."
Broadcast?
Xu Sili was surprised.
"What broadcast?"
Just as he asked, an image suddenly flashed in his mind. It was a woman holding a microphone and saying something passionately in the midst of the chaotic battle.
Behind her …
Someone seemed to be carrying a camera?
Seeing his curiosity, Dean Justin picked up the remote control on his desk and turned on the television on the wall.
The scene that happened in Mercenary Town today was replayed on the screen. It happened to show the young man raising his hand and shooting the frozen beast's eye.
Xu Sili blinked. Their fight against the three-star beast today was actually broadcasted live? No wonder the public support rate inexplicably increased by 1%.
Dean Justin looked at this scene and his heart was a little shaken.
Was this really done by the Little Majesty behind him? Also … why did he vaguely hear singing?
It was like a siren's singing voice that vaguely contained some kind of special energy. It was just that after being recorded and broadcasted, it was much fainter.
Then, the frozen beast went berserk. Si Sheng appeared and finished off the frozen beast with one sword.
The next scene made the old man's pupils tremble.
In the town, everyone, including Si Sheng and the guards, knelt in front of the young man. Their voices shook the sky and deterred everyone.
When …
When did the Little Emperor have such power?
While waiting for this scene to play, Dean Justin heard a light cough and returned to his senses. He turned off the television and looked at the young man sitting on the seat of honor.
Xu Sili held a pen in his hand and gently played with it. He said, "Dean, you have seen that I am going to rebuild Mercenary Town."
"Since you want to make amends for your mistakes, then I'll share your burden. How about we leave the rebuilding of Mercenary Town to you, Dean Justin?"
Dean Justin frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, each profession has its own specialization. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave the rebuilding of Mercenary Town to an Elementalist …"
"What's not appropriate?"
Xu Sili shrugged. "If I remember correctly, Dean Justin is an Earth Elementalist and a Spirit Elementalist. Isn't it easy to build a house?"
Dean Justin's expression turned ugly as he felt humiliated.
"Your Majesty, an Elementalist is a very sacred profession. It often plays a decisive role in battles and is a very important strategic resource."
"How can an Elementalist … build a house?"
"Why not?"
The young man who was smiling suddenly turned cold. "It seems that Dean Justin hasn't truly realized his mistake and doesn't want to make up for it."
"Then, as a price, from today onwards, the country's financial subsidies for the Elementalist College will be reduced by half!"
Dean Justin was stunned. It took him a long time to react to what he said.
Looking at the young man's unusually serious expression, the old man felt that he was not joking. He found it hard to believe.
This was simply nonsense!
"Your Majesty, you … If you do this, the Elementalists fighting at the frontline will be disappointed!"
"Heh, I haven't finished speaking."
Xu Sili pursed his lips and said leisurely.
"The Elementalists fighting at the frontline will be given three times the benefits, and the rest will be cut in half!"
How many Elementalists were there at the frontline?
If the Elementalists at the frontline were given the reduced subsidies, there would still be a lot left. This was easy to calculate.
"You will receive the same amount of benefits as you contribute to the country," Xu Sili said indifferently. "I don't keep idle people."
Dean Justin trembled. Although the person sitting in front of him was only an eighteen -year-old boy, he felt that he was scarier than facing the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that …"
"Of what?"
Xu Sili smiled lightly. He shook his chair leisurely and said, "Isn't this … proposed by Dean Justin himself?"
"The Dean saw that the national treasury was empty and could not make ends meet, so he proposed to share the burden with me and take the initiative to reduce the academy's expenses and the subsidies for the Elementalists."
"I was very pleased and overjoyed, so I increased the benefits of the Elementalists fighting at the frontline by three times as a reward."
"Isn't this a happy thing for everyone?"
Shameless!
Dean Justin widened his eyes in disbelief. This little emperor was too evil!
He was the one taking all the blame, and he could still get a good reputation?
Even Si Sheng could not help but look at Xu Sili.
The silver-haired boy leaned on the chair lazily. There was a faint smile on his fair and tender face, looking innocent and harmless.
However …
The corners of Si Sheng's mouth curled up slightly as he gently averted his gaze.
As for Li Zheyu, he was already stunned.
How could this be? Little Emperor was so sinister! No, he was so wise!
Dean Justin was stunned for a while, but he finally compromised helplessly.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your burden and rebuild Mercenary Town!"
He bowed his proud back and said respectfully,
"Your Majesty … please don't take my slip of the tongue just now to heart. Please allow me to make amends!"
Xu Sili did not answer immediately. He played with the pen in his hand slowly. The room suddenly quieted down.
This kind of silence created a heavy sense of oppression.
Dean Justin's back bent a little lower, and cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
"Alright then."
After a long time, the boy finally spoke, but he sounded a little regretful.
"Then I will give Dean Justin half a month's time. I will get someone to draft a proposal for you. If you can't meet the requirements after half a month …"
He did not continue, but Dean Justin's scalp was already numb.
"Your Majesty, I will not disappoint you!"
He hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, then I will have to trouble you, Dean."
Xu Sili stood up from the chair and helped the bowing Dean up. He smiled very kindly.
However, at this time, Dean Justin did not underestimate him. He said, "This is what I should do."
