"Good morning, Lord of the City!", the smiling aunt led the little girl, without the slightest panic and panic when she saw the nobles, she seemed to be facing not a nobleman, just an ordinary person who was admired by her side. The little girl was wearing a dress that was not very good, and there were some patches on the clothes. Long-term washing has made the clothes lose their original color, and some places have begun to turn white, although it is not good-looking, but it is better to be clean.

The little girl's face was gray, her little paws were black, and her big black eyes were curiously looking at Wren, whose painting style was obviously different from that of the people around her, and she was full of doubts. She may have wondered why this apparently unusual big brother looked so popular. The little girl's eyes shifted to the young lady beside Wren, the young lady's clothes were so beautiful, and her hair was so beautiful, so soft, and there was no sign of yellowing, dryness, and forks.

Like many Ortlenburg people, they believe in Rennes and love Rennes, and this belief and love will not distance each other, but will bring them closer to each other. The superior should not be a person who is completely detached from the crowd, and proper distancing can bring about the mystery unique to the superior, but it will also bring strangeness. Wren did a good job of this, or he did a good job after summing up the experience of his predecessors.

He would sometimes patrol his territory, and instead of putting up a shelf to keep people from entering, he would walk down the street without countless guards as he did now, and clear the streets without a single figure.

Wren paused, smiled and nodded, "Hello, ma'am." ā€

The aunt was a talkative person, but also a bold person, she covered her mouth with a tooth with her fingers the thickness of a radish, and the sound of laughter shook off the dust on the eaves of the roadside, "Ha, I'm not a lady, my lord." But I feel very happy that you say that. She tugged at her hand and grabbed the little girl, "This is my daughter, I'm going to take her to school." My family, I would like to thank you for your generosity and kindness, and for making a huge difference in our lives. ā€

"Before that, I didn't dare to imagine that my child could sit in the academy and get educated with the children of those rich people! The old guy is on top, this is simply incredible, everything is like living in a dream!", the aunt tugged at the child's hand, and when she turned her head, her eyes widened, "Quick, thank you Lord for your kindness." ā€

Although the little girl didn't understand, she still thanked Wren timidly as her mother had instructed. The aunt was very satisfied, she owed a debt, "You are a good city lord, we are proud of you, my lord." ā€

Wren smiled, "Thank you for your support, and I thank everyone for helping me all the time." ā€

Someone on the side of the road couldn't help it, and mustered up the courage to squeeze over, "Lord of the city, are you out to buy something?"

The aunt gave the man a fierce expression, "Hell, it's my time!", saying that she was happy first, "I have to send the child to school, goodbye." ā€

Celeste took Wren's hand and waved at the little girl and the aunt, who also nodded slightly, and the aunt was like a proud general, fluttering away in the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred. Not everyone has the courage to have a brief exchange with Wren on the street, even though Wren is not much of a brutal person. The rigid class is like an abyss, dividing two different worlds in people's minds.

Wren had long been accustomed to being watched, and the people of Ortlenburg were at least less frustrated. Many more people just salute and do not linger or follow.

"Brother Wren, I want to go to the school. Celeste raised his head, his eyelashes fluttering, and Wren thought for a moment before agreeing. It just so happened that he also wanted to go to the school to see, but he hadn't paid attention to the affairs of the academy for three or four months, and he didn't know if Haynes had cleaned up his academy.

This little old man is not a pure good person, at least he has the desires of most normal men, such as marrying a teenage schoolgirl in his fifties or sixties, it is very emotional to think about it, and he has done it. For example, in the pursuit of money, his salary is probably the highest in the whole of Ortlenburg, not one of them. For example, in the pursuit of prestige, I recently heard that this old pervert was whitewashing himself, and he hired some people in the hinterland of the empire to advertise that the reason why he married a teenage schoolgirl was not out of carnal desire, but true love.

True love is a beautiful relationship that transcends status, gender, age, and race, so his actions should not be condemned. Of course, it didn't work very well, and the bachelors didn't buy it. If it weren't for Haynes taking refuge under the command of a golden nobleman, maybe they would have formed a group to mock Hynes and even force him to resign.

Since its establishment, the academy has accepted more than 2,000 students, a figure that is absolutely unsatisfactory when enlarged in the entire city of Oltlenburg. There are about 20,000 to 30,000 school-going children and adolescents in Oltlenburg as a whole. In order to implement compulsory education, Wren exempted tuition fees, but even so, there are still some people who want to come to study, but they can't. The thriving city was full of business opportunities and jobs, especially after Rennes took back the monopoly rights, and the local semi-official and semi-private trade associations in Ortlenburg were very successful.

Thousands of gold coins can be grabbed every month, which makes some people rich. Most civilians do not have much ideals and ambitions, they are well fed and drunk, they have a certain amount of savings to resist risks such as illness in life, and one or two spare money can improve their quality of life, which is completely sufficient. So a lot of older children have started working or doing business with their families.

This is the will to proceed from reality, and Wren will not interfere, and the twisted melon is not sweet.

The academy is very lively, the whole academy is divided into cultural disciplines and martial arts disciplines, and Blair or Jasmine will also take time to impart their combat experience in their free time. In general, the number of cultural disciplines is far greater than that of martial arts disciplines, close to the huge ratio of eight to two. As for the reason, it is easy to understand, cultural disciplines are very practical things, for example, the accounting class with the largest number of students, the correct name is "practical application discipline of calculation", to put it bluntly, it is to teach people how to keep accounts and do accounts.

With the rise of local business groups, there are increasing gaps in accounting and bookkeeping offices, and it can be said that as long as you can successfully complete two or three years of study, it is not difficult to find a job. Most people let their children learn in this subject, and there are already more than 1,200 students. This makes many teachers of other majors look at the dozen or dozens of students in their classes. The second largest number of students are martial arts students, accounting for more than 400 people.

With the use of troops and wars with foreign countries again and again, a large number of people have also made a fortune. Wren is not a mean person, and he also understands the principle of equalization of interests. In each foreign war, the soldier's harvest needs to be handed over, and then returned according to the amount handed in. As long as every soldier can survive on the battlefield, basically the income of one or two gold coins can be guaranteed. This does not include the high salaries of soldiers, as well as various benefits and incentives.

Most families with many boys in their families send their second sons to this discipline, hoping that they will become excellent martial artists, increase their income for the family, and maybe even obtain a higher social status as a result.

Haynes walked around the academy with Wren and Celeste, the old man looked kind-eyed, like a kind old grandfather, who could have guessed what he had done when he came home at night!

Beast!

"This year's enrolment is not very high, and a lot of people are still on the sidelines, wondering if it's worth wasting two or three years of their children's time. "After all, older children are also considered laborers, which can greatly alleviate the financial pressure on families, so that many people have to give up the possibility of going to school." The city is not rich, and the common people are not rich, so they cannot let a labor force completely out of production, which is a very foolish behavior!", in addition to the problem of personal morality, Hines is still a qualified dean, "so adults should preach the benefits and prospects of receiving education, children are the future, and the future should not be wasted in low-level labor." ā€

Wren couldn't help but nod after hearing this, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but there are also things wrong. ā€

Heines paused and looked at Wren in astonishment, "How can it be? Education is sacred, knowledge is sacred, and receiving education itself is also a sacred thing." ā€

"Why not?", Wren retorted, "The division of labor in society is different, and the talents needed are also different. You can't have a bachelor push a manure truck, and you can't have a bachelor grow crops in the field all day. These low-level labors are not shameful compared with the so-called high-level labor, but are the cornerstone of the whole society, and you see, Mr. Hyns, labor is glorious!"

Hines was silent, the places where he used to teach were all the capital's major intermediate colleges, and the students he came into contact with were often the elite of society. Adults in this class are more aware of the changes that knowledge brings to people than the lowest level of the common people, so almost every parent of a student has a pilgrimage mentality to knowledge. But this is different, this is a relatively poor place, people are still struggling to make ends meet, and compared to the changes that learning can bring, children immediately become laborers, even low-level laborers, and the economic benefits are stronger than going to school.

With an unknown future on the one hand, and jobs that can actually generate economic benefits on the other, most civilians have chosen to work.

It cannot be said that this is a sad thing, but it is a stage that must be passed through in the process of knowledge popularization in the development of society. (To be continued.) )
