Chapter 722 Mortal Academy
Chapter 722 Mortal Academy
Bai Wanwan pointed at the wooden signs and said word by word:
"You keep saying that the academy has a century-old reputation and that it has talented people and a beautiful environment, but you turn around and treat ordinary students like animals.
Beating, killing and scolding are common occurrences. When people die, they are buried here casually without even a proper tombstone.
How can a place like this be called a college for teaching and educating people? It's clearly a cannibalistic hell!"
The dignitaries coughed and said, "This... This is too horrible. We would never send our children to such a place."
"I'll take my leave too."
"I have something going on at home, so I'll leave now."
The dean wiped the sweat from his forehead anxiously and said, "Everyone, listen to my explanation. This is not the case at all..."
But these powerful people left very quickly and didn't listen to his excuses at all.
The dean stamped his feet in anger and said, "What on earth do you want to do? Why are you doing this to our academy? I have no grudge against you."
Bai Wanwan replied loudly:
"You and I have no grudges against each other, but you are being unfair to all the students in the world! Who among them is not a good boy that their parents hope will become a great man?
Which one of them might not be the pillar of the country in the future? You have harmed them and taken their lives so lightly, and you still dare to quibble now?"
She waved her hand suddenly:
"Take him away from me!
And those stewards who assaulted and mistreat students, don't let any of them go, arrest them all!"
The people behind him immediately stepped forward and carried the director and several trembling managers.
The dean struggled, his neck turning red, and roared:
"Are you crazy? Let us go! Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences!
Do you know what is behind our academy? "
Bai Wanwan raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of mockery: "Oh? I really want to hear what your extraordinary background is."
A steward nearby got anxious and shrieked:
"Most of the students in our academy are the sons of high-ranking officials! Many relatives of the emperor's family study here.
If you dare to arrest us, you're going against the entire officialdom, and you're dead!"
Bai Wanwan smiled faintly: "Going against the entire officialdom? Then do it!"
Bai Wanwan had them thrown into jail without even a trial.
Then he looked at the group of students and said:
"Do you plan to stay at Qingfeng Academy or follow me?
I plan to open a college in Qingshui County. The environment may not be very good at the beginning, but the professors I invite are all great scholars..."
"I intend to follow you."
"If we stay here, we will only continue to be exploited by them. These people look down on us from the bottom of their hearts. What's the point of us staying here?"
There are not a few hundred people here, but thousands of students, and almost all of them plan to follow Bai Wanwan.
Some students also worriedly asked, "I wonder if your college's tuition is expensive?"
Bai Wanwan looked at them and said, "It's not expensive, absolutely not expensive."
"I wonder what the name of your college is?"
Bai Wanwan coughed and said, "Mortal Academy is an academy that belongs to every ordinary person."
In fact, there was no sign of the academy. Bai Wanwan looked at these students and said:
"Don't worry, at the beginning, the food and lodging will be free. I'll also be honest with you, our college has been flooded.
Now I plan to open up a piece of land on the mountain and build a new academy, which will be no worse than Qingfeng Academy."
When those people heard this, they followed Bai Wanwan directly.
Some students asked, "Our parents are in other counties. Can we move here?"
Bai Wanwan was naturally happy, as her county was in great need of people: "If you come here, you will enjoy the same treatment as everyone else. Every family and every head will get a share."
This made the other students very happy and they told each other the news.
Bai Wanwan is having a hard time, as there's no trace of the academy anymore! Where should these students be placed?
The counselor said, "These students have all suffered. My idea is to let them build their own houses, and you pay for their labor."
Bai Wanwan frowned and said, "That's not good! Isn't this also exploitation?"
But she still asked someone and was given a hundred coins a month.
The students were overjoyed: "Is this really such a good thing? We are all willing to do it."
"We can start working now..."
Bai Wanwan smiled at them and said:
"Everything in our academy is voluntary, and the master will arrange your daily tasks.
In fact, you can also learn a lot from it, and the masters are willing to teach you.
I will arrange for a teacher to help you review your lessons in the evening."
These students were so happy: "After we went to Qingfeng Academy, we didn't even see the master in person."
“There aren’t even any books…”
Bai Wanwan looked at them and said, "Don't worry, there will be books. If there are none, I can lend them to you."
These students were relieved, Bai Wanwan was confident that she had a printing house in the capital.
But this speed is really too slow. The books in Qingfeng Academy are good, and there must be tens of thousands of them.
This must be moved back overnight. Also, I saw a lot of wood in Qingfeng Academy today, which can be used, so we have to move it all back.
That night, Bai Wanwan asked people to enter Qingfeng Academy. The library was indeed very large. Bai Wanwan used more than 20 carriages and made five trips to empty it.
Those cabinets are also very good, and they are all made of solid wood and can be disassembled. Don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
These cabinets are practical and easy to install, so Bai Wanwan couldn't bear to throw them away.
Her subordinates were even crazier than her. All the food in the warehouse was refined rice, and the vegetables and fruits were all kinds that ordinary people would never see.
Lychee, mangosteen, mango, durian...
Seeing Zhiwei and the others were stunned, Zhiwei whispered, "Why are these fruits so strange? Are they edible?"
Bai Wanwan snorted coldly and said, "Of course it's edible, but most people can't eat it."
The food and medicinal herbs in this warehouse are all hard to find.
During this process, an underground passage was actually discovered.
Bai Wanwan and her people walked in and found that this place was no different from a brothel.
Who would have thought that there would be such a place under the academy.
The women in the cell were all carefully made up.
There were exquisite pearl flowers inserted diagonally in her hair, a flower ornament on her forehead, and she was wearing exquisitely tailored silk and satin. She even had someone to serve her personally.
But these people were like puppets, with the shackles on their ankles hidden under their skirts. When they moved occasionally, the chains could be heard scraping against the ground.
The moment Bai Wanwan appeared, a woman rushed over and said, "Are you here to save us? Please, save us!"
Bai Wanwan sighed and said, "Let them all out! This academy is truly disgusting."
There were more than a hundred women in total, and there were actually a dozen men among them. Those men were all in their twenties and all looked very handsome.
