When the Midwinter City School was first established, there were 2,800 students, of which only 300 were magic apprentices. The rest of the education was directed towards various craftsmen and technical trades. However, as the hardware conditions and teaching staff increased, especially the food problem

After getting a complete solution, Colin began to carry out his original idea - to popularize basic magic education.

The initial approach was to set up night courses, allowing interested students to attend the classes themselves, and then take the exams themselves and transfer to the magic apprentice class.

This approach has led to a certain increase in the number of magic apprentices, but it is not very obvious.

But now the school model has changed.

All students who have just entered the school will no longer be screened immediately, but will receive a half-year training in basic magic knowledge - no matter how much you learn in the end. After that, based on examinations and the principle of voluntariness, they will be divided into magic apprentice classes.

As well as craftsman classes, this practice has greatly increased the proportion of magic apprentices.

Today, three years later, with the unification of Xia Ya, a large number of people from other places gathered in Late Winter City. The total number of people has more than doubled, and the size of the school has reached more than 8,000 people, including 2,000 magic apprentices.

Most of the original 300 magic apprentices have graduated after three years of study. Some of them stayed in school to teach, and most of them entered magic laboratories, alchemy workshops, construction teams, plantations and other places to formally participate in work and research.

In particular, the department headed by the Magic Research Laboratory has always been a place for talents. Nahum, who initially messed up the experiment of obtaining magic energy through reagent methods, is now second only to Colin and Lin in terms of magic energy in the world.

Professionals in Walder.

The next night.

Colin convened a high-level meeting with the staff.

Because of the time difference with Ilya, he usually could only return to the fortress at night.

Except for Jennifer who was still in Akihara City, all important personnel were present.

The meeting lasted for nearly four hours, and by the time it ended, it was already late at night.

"Is there anything else?"

Colin asked one last question. Seeing that no one spoke, he stood up with a smile: "In this case, today's meeting ends here."

Everyone stood up and watched the lord leave.

After Colin and Tessa left, the remaining people looked at each other and refused to leave for a long time.

After a long time, Walder reached out his hand first, put his palm close to the table in front of him, and said: "For Xia Ya."

Everyone smiled at each other and extended their hands.

"For Xia Ya."

…

…

Early in the morning.

Annie got up early, had breakfast, and came to school as usual.

The school's gate is very simple, just a brick arch and double iron doors. It doesn't even have a signboard or name.

Anne comes in and out from here almost every day.

However, my mood today is very different.

Although she has been fully responsible for the teaching and operation of the school, she actually has no nominal position. Everything is explained verbally by Colin.

However, it was different starting from today. The school had a name - Xia Ya High School of Magic, and she finally became the principal. It was certified by the appointment letter issued by the lord's office and signed by Colin Wayne.

She had also heard Colin talk about the Higher School of Magic in the Western Continent, and Miss Sophia even graduated from the prestigious Cambridge School.

Compared with those schools, Xia Ya High School of Magic is simply shabby. Both the campus environment and the teaching staff are far behind. The only thing that can be compared is the number of students. But this is also because they only recruit formal magicians.

Xia Ya is almost always a magic apprentice.

Although Colin repeatedly emphasized that the quality of students in our college is no worse than any college in the Western Continent, Anne always felt a little guilty, especially according to her knowledge, almost all the principals of all colleges and universities in the Western Continent are high-level magicians.

In many prestigious schools, non-magicians cannot serve as principals.

And look at Xia Ya, the principal of the College of Higher Education, who turned out to be an unawakened magic apprentice.

According to the plan, a branch school will also be built in the newly built Akihara Castle. She is still serving as the principal concurrently, but the actual operation is handled by Jennifer who is personally in charge there. Although Jennifer has almost given up further studies in magic, her current level is

I'm afraid they are not as good as ordinary students in a college, but they still have a lot of experience in managing schools.

…

…

A lord appointment letter was officially announced this morning. At first, it was only posted on the government affairs office and school bulletin boards. Then, the news slowly spread, and soon, most of the literate residents of Late Winter City were

Got the news.

Xia Ya is no longer a principality.

But an administrative system is still needed to maintain operations.

To this end, Lord Colin Venn issued a Lord's Order.

The content is not complicated.

——The Lord's Office was established, and the person in charge was Tessa, the "Lord's Chief Assistant".

Under the General Office, nine departments have been established:

The Ministry of Finance was established, with Tessa concurrently serving as "Secretary of Finance";

The Ministry of Agriculture was established, with Sofia as the "Minister of Agriculture";

The Ministry of Industry was established, with Walder as "Industry Minister";

The Ministry of Health and Medical Care was established, with Coral serving as the "Minister of Health";

The Ministry of People's Livelihood was established, with Jennifer as the "Minister of People's Livelihood";

The Ministry of Construction was established, with Matthew as the "Minister of Construction";

The Ministry of Education was established, with Anne as "Minister of Education";

The Ministry of Commerce was established, and the position of "Secretary of Commerce" was vacant, with Tessa acting as temporary deputy.

The Military Staff Department was established, with Roderick serving as "Military Minister";

…

As a former principality, there is nothing wrong with such an appointment, and the names of most departments and positions refer to some names in the Kingdom of Tulum and the Western Continent. The Minister of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Tulum is Sophia’s idol Jim

·Gale.

Colin didn't spend too much thought on this, because Xia Ya had just started, and all departments and positions were just to facilitate current management and development. At a certain point, they would definitely need to be further refined and optimized.

He stood at the door of the study early in the morning and saw a new sign added to the door frame with the words "Lord Xaya's Office" written on it.

Pushing open the door and entering, directly in front of him is his empty work desk.

On the side is the senior sister's desk. Not only is it larger than his, it is also covered with various documents. The only difference from before is that there is a delicate wooden sign placed on the edge of the desk, which reads "Chief Assistant"

", this is a brand name produced by the workshop for all ministers.

Chief Assistant to the General Office of Xia Ya, Minister of Finance, and Acting Minister of Commerce.

This is Tessa's job now.

Before, it was just a casual comment from Colin, but now with the issuance of the decree, it has become a formal appointment.

"After all, senior sister is now my subordinate." Colin looked at the name tag and chuckled proudly.

Tessa had already started busy early in the morning and knew that Colin had come in, but she didn't care.

However, she noticed that he had been standing there without moving, so she raised her head and found that her junior brother was looking at the name tag on her table in a daze, and she immediately guessed what he was thinking.

Tessa pursed her lips and smiled, then stood up, folded her hands in front of her, bowed slightly and saluted: "Good morning, Lord."

Colin was stunned for a moment and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Chapter completed!
