Chapter 0013: The King Capital is summoned
I have to admit that Nina is talented in being able to become an alchemist. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In just one day and one night, Nina grasped the ingenuity of Arabic numerals and the benefits of the decimal ninety-nine table, and cut the originally long calculator box in half. Although it is still rectangular, it is much smaller than before, and it is no longer a behemoth.
In particular, the little paws of the ratchet made Nina full of praise.
In Van Pei's casual guidance like a learned master, Nina, who could only be called an interest and could not be calculated well, has really become a toy that can calculate any addition or subtraction within 10 million, and it is very accurate, without the slightest error.
Nina even used this keyboard-sized hand-cranked mechanical calculator to recount the accounts that had been put into storage this morning with Arabic numerals, and calculated the final result, correcting a few wrong accounts.
This made Van Pei, who slept until the sun dried his buttocks, suddenly ecstatic, and finally someone consciously took over and pushed himself down from the position of a warehouse supervisor.
"But are all alchemists high-achieving students? After this night, I completely understood it and applied it to the calculator. When I was in elementary school, I was beaten many times by my teacher just for memorizing the 99 watch. ”
Van Pei admits that he is not a top student, so he has always been jealous of these top students.
However, forget it, this Xueba alchemist is now his own personal alchemist, and he is more useful to himself than a scumbag alchemist.
"Nina, your father, Baron Zorne, and your mother should both be literate, right?"
Nina, who was shaking the handle with her hand to continue testing the calculator, replied: "Yes, my father is not only literate, but also because of his business alliance with the business alliance, he can also speak the language of the Duchy of Mink, and his numeracy ability is also very good. My mother loves to read, and many of my books were collected by my mother. ”
Van Pei was very satisfied with this answer: "Then you will teach them this set of Arabic numerals, decimal system, and ninety-nine tables, including the use of this hand-cranked mechanical calculator, and then let your parents teach all the townspeople and militia in Sunset Town." Well, and basic literacy, let's start tonight, and set aside two hourglasses of time every night to teach. Of course, I will pay them my salary. ”
The popularization of education is particularly important for the promotion of science and technology, and Van Pei does not intend to write some advanced theoretical knowledge teaching, it is better to let them follow the step-by-step process, and insert a little new knowledge at any time, so little by little, until the accumulation explodes.
What's more, Van Pei still has a lot to deal with, and his duty is that of the mayor of the town, not an elementary school teacher.
However, when Van Pei planned to further rebuild Sunset Town, an expected but somewhat unexpected news caught Van Pei a little off guard.
Roddy, who had been sent by Van Pei to deliver a letter to the Duke's Palace, hurried back, and almost ran to his death on the way.
Roddy didn't come back with a letter, but a few words.
"Young Master, the Duke asked me to convey to you that Your Majesty has praised your military exploits very much, and will send a messenger to summon you back to the royal capital to receive the title."
Commendation, knighthood?
Is the old king crazy?
Van Pei was a little puzzled by this news, this old king is not old and dizzy, right, such a fake military exploit actually believes it? Even if his father and grandfather were blind to death, the third prince had been staring at the king, and it would be good not to kick himself a few times in front of the king, how could the king believe it.
"Also, there are ......," Luo Di gasped, "His Majesty will also reward the warriors and soldiers who fought against the Xuedi people, and let them go with you to the royal capital to personally show the process of fighting the Xuedi people, so that the other generals can also learn from your training strategy, young master." ”
Get!
It's not that the old king is dizzy, nor is it the third prince's favor, but he has ulterior motives.
The king summoned that as the lord of the kingdom, he must return to the royal capital to return to his life.
If he goes back to the royal capital this time, if he can have a guard soldier who can handle it, and his grandfather and father are there, the eldest prince will definitely support him, and the king will definitely reward himself with what he says, even if he knows that his military exploits are fake, it doesn't matter.
But if the guards he brought back were vulnerable, with the urine of the old king, he would definitely slap the table and serve on the guillotine.
It's cunning.
"Can you not breathe less when you talk in the future? Can't you say it all at once? Van Pei rolled his eyes at Roddy, "By the way, how long does the messenger have to come?" ”
"Back to the young master. I set off early and hurried all the way back. The Duke was delaying the messenger's time, but it would definitely be three or four days before Sunset Town. ”
Luo Di didn't catch his breath this time, but in three or four days, where to find a male soldier to come out, which made Van Pei even more worried.
"No, I should have said in the letter that I would be dead in Sunset Town, so how could any soldiers be brought to the royal capital?" Van Pei looked at Luo Di strangely, even if he didn't say it, his grandfather and father should know about the lie.
"The Duke did mention this to His Majesty. But His Majesty said that Young Master, you can repel 10,000 Xuedi people, and that training soldier must be very good. If there are really no more veterans, then let the young master bring a new team back to the royal capital in Sunset Town to see how the recruits are doing. Roddy touched his head in a daze, he also came back all the way without rest, and almost forgot about this stubble.
The results of the recruit drill!
Fan Pei touched his chin, although three or four days is not much, but if you strengthen the level of military training, kick a positive step, shout a few slogans to walk in unison, and then engage in some unified military uniforms, this is still quite imposing.
This is a rookie egg, you can't always ask for actual combat experience, and it's also against the sky, right?
Van Pei turned his gaze to the militia cleaning the streets...... Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a farmer.
It is said that it is a militia guard, but in fact it is a group of peasants, who are all farming on weekdays, but when there is something to do, the lord will gather and follow the knights with various shovels, forks, or long sticks. The peasants, who did not know a single character and had not practiced on weekdays, had no combat effectiveness at all, let alone a formation, and were all standing crookedly with a pestle and a farm tool.
During the battle, the knights rushed ahead, and they followed in a hurry, and when they could not fight, they scattered in a hurry.
And the worst thing is that these militiamen are tall, short, fat and thin, and there are even old farmers in their fifties, who are as thin as bamboo poles, and they are a little bumpy when they walk, so that Fan Pei can't help but worry about whether he will be blown away by a gust of wind.
If this militia is dragged to the royal capital, even if Van Pei has a hundred heads, it will not be enough to cut off.
Reconvene the screening militia and train the new army to conquer the royal capital!
