The small docks on Crescent Island, crowded with people, and wooden crates full of porcelain, had all been carried by the pirates onto Theodore's sailboat.

In fact, there are many people who still wonder why Donner wants to give 30% of the profits to Theodore, including Jasmine Hans and others.

Donner had to patiently explain to them that the pirates saw immediate benefits, while Donner thought of long-term benefits.

There is no doubt that Theodore, as the steward of the Count of Elinor, personally led the fleet to trade, and must have earned silver coins.

Donner gave 30% of the profits of the porcelain to Theodore, in order to ease the relationship between the two parties, hoping to continue the cooperation

Theodore wanted to profit from the sea trade, and he was able to bring him a lot of money.

As long as he keeps Lislu safe, presumably Count Eleanor will also be tempted by the gold coins and abandon some small unpleasantness.

Moreover, Crescent Island does not have many options at the moment, and if you want to expand the sea trade route and sell the porcelain in exchange for grain and silver coins, Theodore is the only choice.

Not only porcelain, but also more industrial products such as glass perfume in the future.

Before leaving, Donner issued a final threat and warning: "Sir Sir, I hope that you and my brothers will return safely, and if they lose even a single hair because of your revenge, I will sell Miss Lislu to a brothel on the Isle of Gran." ”

It wasn't the first time Theodore had heard of the legend of the Isle of Gran, and now that he had reached this point, Theodore knew that Donner's will could not be violated.

He bowed, hoping that Donner would treat Lislu well: "Please rest assured, Lord Chief, and at the same time hope that your Excellency will forgive Lislu, believing that you have a mind wider than the sea, and can tolerate some of the petty tempers of a noble girl who has not grown up." ”

Donner nodded, expressing his understanding of Theodore's concern: "Then it's troublesome Lord Sir, I hope that Your Excellency can help me buy some scrolls, iron ingots, frost stones and barley for me to come back, how much I need, I have listed it on the vellum paper, if appropriate, by the way, help me recruit some craftsmen and civilians, the best one with a family." ”

Theodore hurriedly said that he didn't dare, patting his chest to ensure that he could complete the task.

On this trip, in addition to Theodore and the few surviving sailors he had hired, Donner arranged for Hans and Vic to go with thirty pirates.

These pirates were the most loyal men of Hans and Ferdy, and the care of them was naturally not enough for outsiders.

Donner hugged Hans, some things that should be explained, Donner was thoughtful, and explained clearly to Hans, as for other uncontrollable factors, Donner can only resign himself to fate.

The sea was far away from Manhill Harbor, and it could be said that it was extremely dangerous, and he was really a little worried about the Earl, and he was so angry that he would besiege Hans and kill them all.

"It's important to save your life, and if necessary, you have to come back safely if you abandon your goods. Donner patted Hans on the broad shoulder and instructed, "As long as there is life left, there will be milk and bread." ”

Hans was slightly moved in his heart, but he didn't show it, just nodded silently.

Donner took a deep breath: "So...... Downer wishes you all a safe journey!"

The pirates boarded the ship one after another, and Theodore also said goodbye to Lislu: "Miss, the old slave will return to Manhill Harbor for the time being, and I will bring the news of your safety to the Earl, hoping that you will take care of yourself on the island and wait for the return of the old slave with peace of mind." ”

Lislu nodded in silence, and Theodore then said to Morey, "Leave it to Mentor Morey." ”

After explaining the matter, Theodore took Lislu's handwritten letter to the sailboat, while Morey chose to stay and accompany Lislu on Crescent Island.

The sailing ship began to set sail, and when the ship disappeared from sight, Donner was the first to return to the island, and there were some things he had thought about for a long time, and it was time to prepare.

......

"Teach them to read?" said Jasmine in surprise in the cave.

Donner nodded, since he came to Crescent Island, he found that the low literacy rate in this world is terrifying, and there are only three and a half on the entire Crescent Island, including him.

The inconvenience caused by the low literacy rate is especially prominent in the production of porcelain these days, and many times, he cannot write down some processes, quantities and precautions on the announcement, so he can only teach patiently again and again.

The existence of a large number of illiteracy has undoubtedly slowed down the efficiency and quality of work.

Since ancient times, universal education has been an important means to promote the progress of civilization, and if he wanted to lead the development of some industries on Crescent Island, Downer had to start a comprehensive literacy eradication on Crescent Island.

"What's the use of literacy?" In Jasmine's opinion, what is the use of literacy, as a pirate, you just need to be able to kill people.

Donner was stunned: "Of course there are benefits, you know why the nobles became rulers, because they had the knowledge to build tall castles, forge strong armor, forge sharp spears and swords, and make delicate silk cloth. ”

"For example, the reason why I can make porcelain is because I also have some knowledge. ”

The right to disseminate knowledge in the Holy Light Continent has always been in the hands of the nobility and the Holy See, and the children of the nobility have family tutors and aristocratic academies, and they have received a perfect education since childhood.

Ordinary commoners, on the other hand, who wanted to learn knowledge, had to become vassals of the nobility, apprentices of magicians or alchemists, and had to believe in the Holy See and enter monasteries to study the Bible.

This kind of knowledge and truth is in the hands of a few people, and the stupid means of resting on oneself have led to the consequence that for nearly a thousand years, the social civilization of the entire Holy Light Continent has been standing still.

From the age of lords to the age of kingdoms, to the destruction of the age of empires, and back to the era of half-kingdoms and half-lords, the people who hold power are still nobles.

The common people at the bottom have been starving and living in misery, while the aristocracy holds power and enslaves the common people, which is unattainable.

Of course, these are what the aristocracy wants to see.

Donner can't change the world yet, but it's still okay to transform Crescent Island first.

According to Downer's statistics, there are nearly 80 adult males, nearly 60 females, and nearly 40 children under the age of 16 on Crescent Island.

According to Downer's idea, it is almost enough to simply eliminate the literacy of women on the island, and adult men, as the defense force of the island, must be trained in collective military organizations in addition to literacy education.

As for those under the age of sixteen, it was a top priority in the Downer plan.

The three views of adults are basically formed, and many bad habits are difficult to reverse. These little pirates are different, they have little contact with the outside world, they are simple-minded, they have a good ability to accept themselves, and they have a strong shaping ability in their thoughts.

Donner hopes to spread his knowledge and ideas to these children, so that they can become a force for themselves in the future.
