Chapter 206: Lynn Academy
The test of war is never only the number of soldiers, whether the weapons and equipment are excellent, but also the logistics support.
Lynn has always been careful to operate his logistics base, and now in a campaign of about 10,000 people, even without him taking the initiative to mobilize, the merchants in the territory will take the initiative to come in front of him and sell war baggage for him.
Although each of these links has some defects, it is much better than before, indicating that the reclamation and land reform during this period have had good results.
With stable trade routes and cultivated land in the north, Lynn believes that in another quarter, the logistics capacity of the north can allow an army of tens of thousands to ensure an expedition of at least two months.
If it is possible to seize the enemy's baggage during the war and feed the war with the war, the logistics can support the army's expedition and the time can even be extended to a quarter.
If there is a quarter of legion logistics, Lynn will not hesitate to send troops south without even waiting for the young dragons to grow up.
After inspecting the grain on the baggage, Lynn, who was relieved, prepared to turn around and step out of the bilge of the cargo ship by spiral staircase.
As soon as he turned around, a somewhat timid boy's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "This lord, do you know what the count is after ninety-nine?"
Lynn was surprised that the boy who worked on the docks would ask such a question, first glancing at the slightly shy boy's brown face, and then soon seeing the wax board held by an old man beside him.
The number ninety-nine is followed by eighty... It's funny, but in the Middle Ages, when people were illiterate, counting to ninety-nine was even a craft.
The culture and education of Westeros were almost entirely monopolized by the church and the school, which was the main part of education at the time, while the school town in the Old Town was relatively closed, and they refused to allow non-bachelors and apprentices introduced by the bachelor to study there.
On the contrary, the Church established corresponding educational schools, which were divided into monastic schools, archbishopric schools, and parish schools according to their ranks, and the educational content of the schools was mainly religion, theology was the "crown" of all subjects, and the teaching of the "seven arts" (grammar, rhetoric, dialectics, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music) was also in the service of theology.
The teaching methods of the church schools were mainly the cumbersome argumentation of formalism, and this bad style of scholasticism had dominated education in Westeros, and was later criticized by the educators of the lord class, and "scholasticism" became synonymous with theory divorced from reality.
At that time, the education of secular feudal lords was mainly knightly education, in addition to the court school. This kind of education cultivates professional soldiers who can fight on horseback, are loyal to their lords, know court etiquette, and are good at currying favor with their mistresses, and they are required to learn the "Seven Techniques of Knighthood".
However, there is also a hierarchy in knightly education.
In short, because the feudal society had established a strict hierarchy of religious and feudal lords, the education on this continent had a distinctly hierarchical character, and because the religious churches at that time occupied a dominant position politically, economically, and ideologically, the cultural education at that time was also permeated with the influence of religious theology.
In the last few centuries, especially during the centuries when the Targaryen ruled the continent, with the development of productive forces, economic prosperity and scientific and technological progress, cities were formed, and at the same time, a new class of citizens appeared, and education began to cover some common people, mainly merchants.
Despite this, the education of the commoners is still pitiful, and no lord will invest in the cause of the education of the people.
Civilians lack knowledge, and it is not uncommon for them to count to ninety-nine but not to a hundred.
Lynn looked meaningfully at the lantern boy, "What's your name, why do you want to know the number after ninety-nine?"
"My Tirel, that's my father's name, that's why everyone calls me Tirel Jr. The man tilted his head and replied seriously, "I want to know the numbers, because we need him for the counts behind us, and as long as we know the numbers behind, my father can count more goods." ”
Lynn nodded, and said to the surprised merchant behind him, "As a merchant, you should know the number after ninety-nine, right?"
"Yes, sir," the merchant nodded in surprise, then leaned down to the boy and said, "You have to remember this time, after ninety-nine there is a hundred. ”
Lynn, who left the baggage and came to the docks, unexpectedly met Melisandre, a red-robed woman.
"You're looking for me?" asked Lynn.
Melisandre looked at Lynn, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, I just saw your fleet on the tower, it is unexpectedly powerful, I am curious, when did you own this fleet that has never been seen?" ”
"I remember talking to you about the witchcraft of the Dark Gate, and I just so know a thing or two about it. Lynn said as he walked, and at the entrance to the dock in front, there was a carriage from the Lord's Mansion that had been waiting for a long time.
When Lynn discovers that the coachman is the old mute of the Mormont family, she learns that Lyanna has taken over the day-to-day management of the fishing village port.
"You mean this fleet is from the planet Azeroth?"
Hearing this, Lynn paused and turned her head to look at the red-robed woman in surprise, "I should be happy that you started believing my story so quickly?"
"I just want to believe that the only explanation you have so far come up with, my lord. ”
Lynn didn't want to have anything to do with her, so she shrugged her shoulders and continued to walk forward, changing the subject: "Merry, are you willing to run an academy for me?"
"Academy?"
"Well, a place for preaching and education. ”
Melisandre was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she dragged the red robe on her body and walked two steps to keep up with Lynn's footsteps, "Like a classmate city and a church?"
Lynn became more and more appreciative of the red-robed woman's cleverness, "That's right. You come to be the head of the courtyard or the headmaster, call it whatever you want, and then invite some famous scholars to be teachers, attract young people from all over the continent of Westeros, and gradually develop into a university. The university emphasizes the study of learning and the imparting of cultural knowledge, cultivates careers that contribute to scientific development and academic prosperity, and promotes the intellectual education of children in the territory. ”
Lynn laid out her plans and ideas that popped up with her.
Melisandre stared at Lynn's side face without blinking, and suddenly noticed that there was bottomless potential in this young face, and she excitedly proposed, "How about the Academy of the Lord of Light?"
Running a school is very expensive, so why should I spend money to promote the Lord of Light?
Lynn felt that her brain was not showing off.
He immediately vetoed it, and said in a firm tone: "If you are willing to start the course of the Doctrine of the Lord of Light, I can support you, but the new school can only be called Lynn Academy." ”
