June 10th.
Early in the morning, Chen Hao rushed over. When Su Yu opened the door, he hurriedly said, “Ah Yu, something has happened!”
“Take your time.”
Su Yu was calm and unhurried. The Sky could not fall.
With just Chen Hao, what could possibly happen.
In the past two days, he had mastered the Thunder Essence Blade. Su Yu was busy familiarizing himself with the Thunder Essence Blade and increasing the speed of his primordial Qi returning to one. He was not in the mood to pay attention to Chen Hao’s big news at all.
He opened the door and let Chen Hao in. Su Yu turned around to eat the noodles he had just cooked in the morning.
His father was not at home. He had been eating very poorly recently.
Moreover, he did not have much money on hand. He still had to keep 30,000 yuan to go to civilization university.
Going to school was not free.
Although the registration fee for civilization university was not expensive, it had to be 10,000 yuan in one go. In addition, he still had to eat when he arrived at the university.
Chen Hao swallowed his saliva when he saw him eating noodles. He had eaten a little in the morning and was a little hungry after running for a while.
Su Yu pretended not to see it. There was only one bowl of noodles, and it was not for him.
“Ah Yu…”
Chen Hao sat down opposite him and did not look at the noodles again. He hurriedly said, “My dad said that there are some changes in the Great Xia manor this year, and the enrollment numbers of the various universities might decrease.”
“Yes.”
“Decrease the enrollment numbers!”
Chen Hao emphasized once more.
Su Yu raised his head helplessly. “Does it have anything to do with me? As for you, although you’re still at fourth level of Kaiyuan right now, you’re about to reach fifth level soon. In addition, you’ll get 30 points. Even if the enrollment numbers decrease, it wouldn’t have much to do with you, right?”
Su Yu really did not care too much. He was a little speechless as he said, “Could it be that Nan Yuan isn’t hiring anyone? If the great Xia manor dares to do this, Nan Yuan would dare to break away from the control of the Great Xia manor and directly seek refuge with the Great Ming Manor!”
Nanyuan was not far from the Great Ming mansion. It was less than 300 miles north of the Great Ming mansion. It was considered one of the cities closest to the Great Ming mansion.
Although the place was small, Nanyuan still had a million people.
However, there were more than 10,000 combat soldiers!
With the addition of veteran soldiers, Nanyuan could recruit tens of thousands of combat soldiers at any time. No matter how the Great Xia mansion reduced the number of people, Nanyuan would not be much less.
Originally, there was not much recruitment, so Su Yu really did not care too much. He said weakly, “Whether this news is true or not, the ones who should be crying are the great Xia mansion. They recruit the most people, so reducing the number of people will also reduce them.”
Su Yu’s expression was indifferent, chen Hao said with a sad face, “I know, my father also said so, but he said… This way, some of the people who could have been admitted into the Great Xia mansion would not be able to get in this year. Those with some family background might have to run to the small town!”
”…”
Su Yu was slightly startled when he heard this. He realized that he was still thinking too little, not as much as Chen Hao’s father.
That’s right!
Reducing the number of people would definitely mainly reduce the people from the Great Xia mansion. However, what should the people from the Great Xia mansion who felt that they wouldn’t be able to get in now do?
Come to the small town!
Nan Yuan was one of the 28 cities after all. Although the number of students recruited was not much, there were still some places available.
They might not be the most outstanding in the Great Xia Manor, but when they came to Nanyuan, the great Xia Manor did not have high requirements for Nanyuan.
For example, no matter how much the number of Nanyuan students who could enter the Great Xia Civilization Academy decreased this year, the spots would not be too bad. This was because… there was no way to reduce it further.
If it decreased any further, it would cause public anger.
The Nanyuan students were weak. It was not that they were really bad. The environment was different. This godforsaken place did not have enough yuan qi. Cultivation was not as fast as the Great Xia Manor, and resources were also scarce. One could not expect the Nanyuan people to be on the same level as the people from the Great Xia Manor.
Therefore, the southern element quota was almost fixed. It would not be increased, and it was also very difficult to reduce it.
Su Yu frowned slightly and looked at Chen Hao. “Zhanzheng College and Civilization College are both going to be reduced?”
“That’s right!”
Chen Hao said in distress, “It’s all because of that marquis! The manor head is in closed-door cultivation. If he was not in closed-door cultivation, he definitely would not do this! This bird marquis, he does not do proper work all day long. He only knows how to make money!”
Chen Hao had a depressed look on his face. He felt that he was in danger.
Su Yu couldn’t help but laugh. He knew who the Lord Marquis he spoke of was.
Lord Xia, Xia Longwu’s uncle, the son of the great Xia Emperor.
In the southern Yuan, in the Great Xia Manor, and even in the human race, he was a well-known figure.
He was the one who opened the Xia trading company!
No one knew whether Lord Xia’s real name was this or not. In any case, everyone was calling him Lord Xia now. This was his own request. His father was the great Xia emperor, so no matter what, he could still be considered a lord.
Therefore, a long, long time ago, that person had been called Master Xia Hou.
“How did this matter have anything to do with Master Xia Hou?”
“Don’t you know? It was him who gave the Order!”Chen Hao said gloomily, “I heard that Master Xia Hou disliked the fact that the various universities spent too much, so this year, the Great Xia Manor’s funds will be cut by 30% .”
“That’s not all…”Chen Hao said with a bitter face, “I heard, no, it was my father who heard that Master Xia Hou was actually selling quotas!”
Chen Hao’s face was on the verge of collapse as he said, “That person is actually selling quotas. It’s not an academic quota, but a household registration quota for 28 cities! When they go to other cities to take the assessment, they will get a local household registration, so if those people want to take the assessment, they will have to spend money to buy a household registration!”
“Buying a household registration is not enough, they have to buy a house! So in total, a house, household registration, at least a million or more!”
“Didn’t you see? A lot of people have been selling houses these past few days. The house prices have gone crazy. On your side, it’s 10,000 yuan per square meter now!”
”…”
Su Yu was stunned. There was such a move?
Then, his house could be sold for a Million Yuan Now?
Previously, he was still planning to sell it for 500,000 yuan!
“Don’t you think he’s Wicked? Now, even the great Xia mansion is scolding him!”
Chen Hao was still complaining, but Su Yu couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Lord Xia Hou is really interesting. Originally, everyone was heading to the Great Xia mansion, but with his actions, he actually drove them to a small town!”
