I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain

  Chapter 95 Higher Education Selection

  1492, July 21, early.

  The 101st Higher Education Selection Examination of the Kingdom of Baia was held nationwide. There are 12 states under Baia, and there are more than 86 towns with 50,000 people and above.

  But this time there are only more than 50,000 applicants for the official registration candidates.

Every year, the whole country can receive basic education, formal primary education, and can meet the education expenses of about three years. There are very few students who drop out of school without being forced to make a living. What is more important is how many families can guarantee that their children can still pay after being admitted. high tuition fees.

  Most students drop out of school during their basic education and are forced by their families to work. Women in this era are even more miserable. They are involuntary from birth, and they will be arranged to marry at a very young age.

  In fact, most ordinary people in this era are like marionettes, being controlled by others to live a miserable life.

  Just the sum of several primary education colleges in the city of Leeds, there are only more than 500 students who meet the above conditions and can participate in this exam.

  Most of them have good family conditions, and a very small number of them are descendants of wealthy businessmen or down-and-out nobles, who are at least middle-class and above, and have sufficient educational resources and expenses to meet this exam.

   "May God, the Goddess of Wisdom, and the God of Order bless your sincere believers together."

   After getting enough sleep, Tu Fu followed Sophie out of the house, and blatantly prayed to the gods to bring him some good luck.

  Perfectly inherited Uncle Ethan's makeshift trick, making Sophie roll her eyes at him again.

  Shortly after I came out, I saw personnel from the Police Department scattered in various community streets, especially gathering around several test centers to maintain the law and order of the test.

  The citizens of Leitz looked at the students who had the opportunity to take the exam, and their eyes were full of what they used to be. Those eyes contained complex emotions, including contempt, envy, remorse, and flashes of strong unwillingness.

  Every year at this time, some people will complain about the injustice of the Kingdom’s education system, and the wages of ordinary migrant workers can hardly meet the high requirements of going to college.

  Children born in the aristocracy or the emerging business class have been paved for a lifetime from birth.

   Receive a good education from an early age, and then enter a good school to get a decent job in the future.

  These elites will enter the parliament and hold the right to speak in this country. Generation after generation, as long as they follow the steps, they can have a perfect life.

  Perhaps, people never hate poverty and suffering,

   They just hate this injustice.

  Since this morning, the citizens have been casting complicated eyes on these young students along the way, and the scorching eyes are a little hot.

   "Why don't I go home after the exam and cook a hot pot to celebrate, this time with Jiugongge hot pot."

  Tu Fu felt Sophie's rapid breathing, and gently held her trembling wrist.

  His palms are warm and strong, completely different from the performance of the restrained child who hid in a corner in the past. This kind of growth makes him feel safe like a mature man.

"Ok."

  The proud Miss Winston rarely shook off his arm, feeling inexplicably emotional.

  Until there was an inaudible murmur, they stopped paying attention to the eyes of others and raised their heads to enter the test center together.

   Leeds Comprehensive College, which has always been lively, has only senior students left today. Every candidate here is full of breath, which makes the atmosphere tense.

  The invigilators today are all practitioners dispatched directly from the Ministry of Education to prevent anyone from colluding with the teachers of the school to cheat.

   There have been many things like this. In the worst years, all the noble children were even put in one classroom, and the invigilators openly exchanged answers.

   Fortunately, under the reform of the iron-blooded prime minister in the kingdom, he personally used harsh laws to deal with those noble members who violated the rules.

  The current high-level selection exams are delivered from the printing factory on the same day, and the identity of the supervisor is strictly checked, so that this kind of injustice has been reduced a lot.

  After the invigilator is in place.

  Seven test papers with test questions printed on them were also sent out soon.

  Different from the college entrance examination that Tu Fu experienced, the seven exams in Baia Kingdom will be completed in one go on the exam day.

  Advanced selection not only has strict requirements on the intelligence and physical strength of candidates, but also includes seven examination papers including grammar, arithmetic, geometry, history, geography, general education, and ancient Assyrian. The first six are mainly written examinations.

  The study of the last ancient Chinese is divided into written test and oral test.

   "The person who came up with this one-time test method should really be hanged on the street lamp."

  Tu Fu sighed amusedly, the street lights were almost full of people.

  He always wonders why there are so many unreasonable policies. Has the proposer never tried it himself?

  However, judging from the subjects of these exams, they are still very balanced, with both arts and sciences, and the depth of the subjects involved is not high, but the advantage is that they are very comprehensive, and they can test everything.

  Grammar subjects, from ancient literature to modern poetry, directly copy the beautiful poems in memory according to the requirements of the topic, and overcome problems unimpeded.

  Arithmetic is limited to mathematics that was difficult in junior high school in the past, basic operations and equation operations. Naturally, there is nothing that can stump Tu Fu.

  Even if there is no magic potion and a super eye that is comparable to a plug-in, Tu Fu feels that he can easily solve these problems by relying on the memory and thinking of his previous life, but it will take more time.

  Having trained him countless times, he picked up a pen and quickly filled in the answers on the test paper.

  Time passed by every minute and every second. For a smooth-thinking candidate like Tu Fu, the time was different from ordinary people.

  Every time I finished writing a test paper and looked up again, the clock quietly passed for more than half an hour. The denseness of the test papers put a lot of pressure on the candidates.

  However, Tu Fu, who has been transformed by potions twice, has always maintained a lot of energy, and his observation, logic, and memory have all been greatly improved.

   When doing the questions, it was almost flat all the way, and I didn't encounter too many problems.

   Those questions on the test paper that are really difficult to solve and require a lot of time and basics are simply given up. Anyway, some questions were not set up for ordinary students from the beginning.

  Tu Fu didn’t think that with a few months of hard work, he could surpass the ten-year cold window of other students.

  However, to Tu Fu's surprise, an extra-curricular general knowledge question appeared in the general education exam.

   "Please briefly describe the realistic principle of the 'double slit experiment'?"

  When he saw this question, Tu Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead in embarrassment.

   Every year in the advanced selection, there will be several inexplicable extracurricular questions like this, which make countless candidates hate their teeth. This famous problem in the physics world a month ago has also been copied.

   "Fortunately, no world famous books were copied at that time."

  Tu Fu secretly rejoiced that if he had copied a few famous works and analyzed them as grammar reading questions, I am afraid that even the ideas provided by the original author might not be correct.

  This optical knowledge point may not have been mentioned by other teachers, but Mr. Coleman has repeatedly emphasized this new knowledge point many times, which made the students of Leeds Comprehensive College take a big advantage.

   "We have to charge them some money after the exam is over."

   After becoming a bounty hunter, Tu Fumo thought.

  Following the results obtained from the previous experiment process, he filled in the answers with ease.

  Sometimes Tu Fu feels like an inconspicuous little butterfly.

  Because of my unintentional arrival, I waved my wings lightly a few times, and brought many things that should not have appeared.

  Finally, Tu Fu had conquered the general education paper of the seventh exam, and now there was only the last big question left.

   This is an open question and answer, and Tu Fu's eyes gradually became darker, because this question occupies a full third of the subject's score

A question about the country's materials, and the materials given are a series of changes in the Baia Kingdom in recent years since decades. After the reforms, it has carried out many armed purchases and payments to the state, and finally became one of the powerful countries in the North Continent. However, with the rapid expansion of the industrial process, there are still some hidden dangers in the society.

   "Candidates are asked to bring up at least one social issue that urgently needs to be reformed in the Kingdom, and it only needs to be reasonable."

  This is not a difficult question, as long as you have enough understanding of the international situation, you can answer it. It is very suitable for the old man on the side of the road to pat his crutch to express his opinion.

   Questions like this are very suitable for keyboard politicians like Tu Fu.

  He picked up a pen and began to briefly describe the problems that he, a little man, could see.

  In order to carry out the process of capitalist industrialization and become a highly developed modern country, the Baia Kingdom has completed the path of advanced industrial revolution countries such as Lantis and Ryan in just a few decades.

  The key lies in the militaristic development of the military industry in the past few decades, which has concentrated social wealth in the hands of a few people and widened the gap between the rich and the poor.

   Let the contradiction between the two classes stand out, and the risks, education, medical care, and maintenance of workers in production activities cannot be guaranteed. In this way, the ills of industrialism have threatened the foundation of this country.

  Not so long ago, the Fight Club and the Free Life Church were still vivid in my mind, but the safeguard laws issued by the Leeds government were still not sound enough.

  Tu Fu focused his eyes, carefully analyzed this question from two aspects, and put forward a point of view that was not surprising in the world he lived in in the past, but it is very novel in this era.

  State intervention in social security.

  Break through the traditional mode of charitable organizations being responsible for the purpose of helping the poor.

  The specific method is to start from two aspects of labor legislation and social insurance legislation through social legislation.

  The former needs to ensure the most basic six-day working days and minimum wage requirements.

  The age, education level, and working hours of employers are clearly stipulated. Young workers under the age are prohibited from exceeding the prescribed time. The employment of child labor is prohibited and women's labor rights are guaranteed. A factory inspector system is implemented.

   Another important measure is that the social insurance law stipulates that all workers engaged in industrial economic activities implement compulsory disease social insurance.

  Establish an independent management organization. In the event of injury or death, part of the expenses will be borne by the employer.

   and receive allowances after retirement after accumulative working age, so as to protect the self-care plan for the aging of the nation.

   Such basic social reforms are actually similar to the embryonic form of the later "welfare state". Appropriate welfare can guarantee the majority of people, but it will not make the citizens too passive and lazy.

   It is most suitable for emerging powers like the current Baia Kingdom, where everyone creates value like chicken blood, and the gross national product is hitting new highs every year.

   This was written seriously until the end, even Tu Fu himself laughed.

  If this series of policies can be really implemented, what name should they be named.

   Welfare state?

   No, it should be called "Utopia".
