After Ben Boba learned how to make the water totem, Yang Yi and the Fishmen said goodbye to the Minotaur and the Old Fishman, respectively, and then returned to Ratchet Town.

Ratchet Town has the deputy mayor of Old Blind in charge, and Yang Yi is still more relieved.

As soon as Yang Yi came back, the old blind eye immediately came over.

"Lord, these days we've got more than one hundred and fifty adult fish-people from the bay of ratchets. According to the lord's instructions, the old blind eye had already arranged for them to go to the farmland east of the town to help harvest ragweed. The old blind man reported.

"Only a hundred and fifty adult fish-men have been collected from the bay of Ratchet Tooth, which is even less than previously estimated." Yang Yi was a little surprised, but it was reasonable to think about it. After all, most of the fish-people who didn't live in Ratchet Town in the first place had another reason, just like the old fish-man he met before who was missing a leg, and didn't plan to live in Ratchet Town in the end.

"At present, there are only about 500 acres of farmland in the town, and by the time the construction workers build more farmland for them, there should be enough manpower for these more than 100 fishmen to farm in a short period of time." Yang Yi said.

"Lord, these fishmen who were arranged to harvest ragweed have been complaining. Because the weather is too hot, the slime on the scales dries quickly, and the fishman is very uncomfortable. The old blind man said.

This is indeed a big problem.

Fish-people are not meant to stay on dry land for long periods of time, as previous apprentices of fish-man farmers spent their time growing mushrooms in a jungle of vines with gravel blocks, and did not need to be exposed to the sun most of the time.

And farming needs to face the loess with its back to the sky, and the sun over this barren land is very poisonous.

"It seems that Jagu still overestimates the fish-people in terms of farming, after all, from the perspective of the body structure of the fish-people, they are still a big step behind the fish-people in terms of evolution, and the fish-people can adapt to the farmer's work very well, and the fish-people are not necessarily the same." Yang Yi thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi began to worry again.

In order for Ratchet Town to populate in large numbers, the food supply must be massively increased.

Land farming and bay farming are the two most important directions for increasing grain production envisioned by Yang Yi, and they must be pursued in both directions.

So Yang Yi said: "Farming is really hard for the fish people, so let the fish people stick to it for a while." After all, this is just the beginning, and maybe some fishmen can find a way to get used to it. After a while, if Ratchet gets some slaves, they will arrange for them to farm. ”

Yang Yi didn't think of any other better way for a while, so he could only arrange it like this.

If the next stage of the operation against the Fishmen of the Blackfin Clan can go smoothly, Yang Yi plans to let the captured Fishmen of the Blackfin Clan's slaves go to farming.

For the time being, the matter of farming can only be decided like this.

In addition to this incident, the old blind man brought good news.

"Lord, the first batch of little fishmen at the Fishman School have reached the time to leave the school according to the plan."

"Time flies so fast, I didn't expect the fish-man to graduate from school so soon." Yang Yi sighed for a moment, and then he said: "It's better to gather the fish people in the town like this, and we will hold a graduation ceremony." ”

"Graduation?" The old blind didn't understand what it was.

"Yes, graduation, it's a big deal for us in Ratchet Town, you go and gather the fishmen to the plaza first."

"Yes, my lord."

The old blind heard Yang Yi say that the graduation ceremony was a big event for Ratchet Town, so he immediately ran to arrange it according to Yang Yi's instructions.

This time, due to the hurry, Yang Yi only let the old blind gather the fishmen in Ratchet Town.

At this time, in addition to the combat fishmen who are responsible for guarding, the main ones staying in Ratchet Town are the auxiliary professions in the town, and there are also small fishmen.

There was a bustle of hustle and bustle, and nearly a thousand adult fish-people slowly gathered on the town center square of Ratchet Town, and there were many more small fish-men.

The adult fish were fine, and most of them were just curious to look around when they came to the square. As soon as the thousands of little fishmen came to the square, they began to chase and frolic, and the noise was non-stop, and they made a fuss.

Yang Yi had expected such a scene, so soon the old blind man rushed to the scene with a large team of patrol fishmen.

In addition to teaching the noisy little fishmen, the arrival of these fishmen also has an important task, which is to distribute a piece of food to every fishman present.

For the fish people, it doesn't matter what the graduation ceremony is, what they eat is the most important thing.

The little fish people are also foodies, and they heard that they can only get food if they stand quietly, and they all immediately turn into wooden people.

As soon as the big trick of dividing the food came out, the noisy situation was immediately controlled, and the scene quickly fell silent.

Satisfied, Yang Yi stepped onto the platform in the center of town, ready to preside over the first graduation ceremony of the Fish-Man School in Ratchet Town

The Fishman School was built on the edge of the town center square, but due to the limited space of the school and the lack of a ceremonial platform, Yang Yi temporarily used the town center as a ceremonial platform.

"Today is the graduation ceremony of the first realm of Fishman School, and it is an important day for us in Ratchet Town." Yang Yi shouted at the fishman's voice, his voice was loud enough, and he didn't need a loudspeaker to amplify the sound at all.

"The mayor said it well, and everyone applauded." Ben Boba stood at the front of the crowd, and as soon as he heard Yang Yi pause, he immediately took the lead in applauding.

Seeing this, the other fishmen also applauded one by one.

"Okay, the master has decided to give the Fishman School a name, and it's called the Ratchet Tide Academy." Yang Yi announced loudly.

Quack, quack, quack.

Hearing the name, the fishmen in the audience immediately applauded.

Yang Yi was very satisfied when he heard the warm applause, and he was also very satisfied with the name of Ratchet Tide Academy. He pondered for a long time just now, and finally didn't directly name it Ratchet Academy.

"Wait a minute, you can applaud and don't make a fuss, the fishman who behaves well will receive another piece of food after the graduation ceremony." Yang Yi said.

Bang la la blah!

The applause thundered and endured.

The big and small fish people shouted long live the mayor, and the graduation ceremony came to a climax at once.

When the applause and shouts finally stopped, Yang Yi asked the old blind eye to take the graduating fish-man team up to the platform in the center of the town.

It's been a year and a half since the Fish-Man School in Ratchet Town, the Ratchet Tide Academy, was actually built. Yang Yi originally planned to let the fishman graduate after one year of study, but because the school had just been put into operation in the first half of the year, the school's teachers and students were not in order, so the first graduation was delayed.

This time, there are about two hundred little fishmen who graduated, and most of them are small fishmen between the ages of three and five.

A year and a half is actually a very short time for school learning, and by the time these little fishmen graduate, they have mastered some basic knowledge, and they have also learned a little bit of handicraft work with the auxiliary fishmen in the town.

The most important thing is that through learning, these little fishmen have learned to read and write, although they don't have many words, but at least they can barely read and write simple notices.

Thankfully, the illiteracy rate of the Ratchet Fishmen has been reduced to less than 95%.

In order to reflect the importance of the graduation ceremony, Yang Yi decided to personally issue graduation certificates to each graduated little fishman.

The graduated little fishmen were divided into a team of ten people, and one team came to the stage, and Yang Yi distributed a shell to them in turn.

This shell was specially made by Yang Yi for the water forging master in the town, and it was used as the graduation certificate of the Ratchet Tide Academy.

The material of the shell is a small hard-shelled mussel that has not grown, and the hard-shelled mussel is hard and easy to store for a long time, so it is just right to make a graduation certificate.

The purpose of cultivating hard-shelled mussels in Ratchet Town is to forge mussel shell shields for water forgers, so the shells with small shells are picked out from the farm early in the morning.

The mussel meat of the hard-shelled mussels is called [fishy mussel meat], and when you hear the name, you know that it is not suitable for consumption, so these small hard-shelled mussels are basically thrown away after being picked out.

However, the fish-people have a natural habit of collecting seashells, and even for a long time, seashells were used as the currency of the fish-people, so these mussel shells were picked up by the fish-people and piled up in the fish-people's hut.

Yang Yi saw that the shells of these small hard-shelled mussels were just usable, so he asked the water forging master to take the water forging and process it into a graduation certificate.

Water forging is a special forging process, and there is no other home in the entire Kalimdor continent, so although the shell graduation certificate is only a simple water forging, it is not easy to imitate.

Among the ten little fishmen who came to the stage to collect their diplomas were Pember and Mozmus, who had graduated from school, and the Gollum sisters would not be able to graduate until this time next year.

Pember and Morumus stepped forward first, and on the ground lay a large tortoise shell with pale yellow ink in it.

"You put ink on the palm of your right hand and print it on a shell." Yang Yi explained.

"Boss, what do you do with handprints on shells?" Ben Boer asked with curiosity on his face.

"If you talk a lot, if you are told to seal it, you will seal it." Yang Yi reprimanded.

Mo Momus had no opinion at all, and as soon as Yang Yi finished speaking, he used his right hand to stain the turtle shell with ink, and then pressed it firmly on a small hard-shelled mussel.

When Morumus removed his hand, a yellow palm print was clearly imprinted on the small hard-shelled mussel.

Well, Yang Yi took a look at the effect and was very satisfied.

The light yellow ink in the turtle shell is "Moonlight Ink", which is named because it emits a faint light yellow glow when it is exposed to the moonlight.

[Moonlight Ink] is often used by low-level inscriptionists to draw inscription scrolls and glyphs, and a small bottle of [Moonlight Ink] can be sold for 5 silver coins.

More than 20 bottles of [Moonlight Ink] were poured into this big turtle shell, and Yang Yi was ruthless this time.

Ben Bo Ba was reprimanded by Yang Yi, and immediately obediently learned from Mo Rumus to imprint his own handprint on another mussel shell.

Since there are about 200 Little Fishman graduates, the process is simple. The little fishmen went to the stage in turn according to the team, pressed their handprints, and waited for Yang Yi to personally issue the graduation certificate one by one, and then went down.

Yang Yi issued graduation certificates one by one, and at the same time used the eyes of the lord to look at the attribute information of these little fishmen.

In the end, Yang Yi found that in addition to the two A-level fishmen of Benboba and Mozamus, eighteen of the about two hundred fishman graduates were D-level, more than one hundred and more were E-level, and the rest were F-level.

These are already the little fishmen who were selected by Yang Yi with the eyes of the lord when they entered the school, otherwise, the proportion of G-level small fishmen in the fish-man clan would be more than half, that is to say, more than half of the fish-people can only stay at the level of apprentices even if they are given a certain amount of training.

"It's good to wait until the next one, there are a number of good seedlings among the next little fishmen, and many of them are likely to be the heirs of the old blind and the Braque brothers." Yang Yi could only comfort himself like this.
