Chapter 154: Opening an Academy (Asking for Recommendations! Asking for Subscriptions)
Hearing Erwin's words, Situ Jin's brows immediately furrowed: "How can we kill them all, they haven't done anything bad to us, is it because they are aliens that we have to light up the butcher's knife on them?"
Geraint, Bedwell, Gareth, and Tristan all came from Continental Academy with Situ Jin, and they were all very clear about Situ Jin's values to foreigners, so they were not surprised to see Situ Jin's reaction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In fact, these days, most people on the island advocate killing these elves and dwarves, in everyone's opinion, non-my people must have different hearts, rather than spending effort to look at these aliens, it is better to solve the problem with a knife, save time and effort!
But all the people who followed Situ Jin back from the Continental Academy did not agree to kill them, especially Geraint, who personally found Erwin and told Erwin that even if they wanted to kill these aliens, they would have to wait until Situ Jin came back to kill them, and Erwin also agreed, which temporarily suppressed everyone's voices.
Seeing Situ Jin's reaction now, Erwin couldn't help but glance at the others and felt that these people really knew Situ Jin very well.
"Lord Duke!" Erwin said, "Then what do you think we are going to do with these elves and dwarves next?"
Situ Jin said: "No matter how you deal with it, you can't kill them all without saying a word!"
Speaking of this, Situ Jin opened his mouth and asked, "How many people are there in these elf clans and dwarf clans combined?"
Geraint took over the words and said, "There should be more elves, there should be six or seven thousand, and the dwarf race is less, about three thousand!"
Situ Jin nodded: "I once read an introduction to these two races in a certain book, the elves are a kind race that yearns for light, they are extremely close to nature, they are good at using magic and bows and arrows, and they have excellent eyesight, and they can see far away in a dark environment. As for the dwarves, they are ugly and small in appearance, but they are natural craftsmen! Now that the island is in a critical period of rapid development, wouldn't it be a good thing for us to have these two races do things for us?"
After Situ Jin finished speaking, everyone looked at Situ Jin in surprise.
Gareth blurted out, "Isn't it, Brother Situ, you want to let these two races be used by us?"
Situ Jin asked rhetorically, "Why not?"
Erwin calmed down for a moment, and said, "No, it's just that it should be very difficult to do, and if you say that you want to force them to do things for us by coercion, then it may be fine, but if they are to do things for us voluntarily, this is probably unlikely! Don't you see the way they look at us, full of wariness and resentment! Besides, even if they do agree, how are we going to settle them? Do we want them to live with the people of the island?"
Situ Jin nodded, not feeling that there was anything wrong at all: "Otherwise?"
Seeing Situ Jin's serious face, Erwin said, "Lord Duke, you're not joking, are you?"
"Of course not!" Situ Jin said: "I have my consideration for this matter, I will rest for a night tonight, and tomorrow you will take me to the place where they live, I will go and see it first!"
After speaking, Situ Jin looked at Erwin and said, "What else is there besides this matter?"
Erwin thought for a moment, and then said: "There is also the matter of cultivating talents, although the manpower on the island is barely enough now, and I have also preliminarily trained a group of managers before, but the overall quality of these people needs to be improved! In addition, considering the current development situation on the island, our demand for all kinds of talents is bound to increase greatly, in order to solve this problem once and for all, I suggest that we open an academy on the island!"
After a pause, Erwin continued: "Although in the short term, it will take two or three years for the college to train a group of people at the earliest, but in the long run, this is a good way to fundamentally solve our needs for talents, and the college is a cultural center, on the one hand, the opening of the college can attract many talented people to come to the island, on the other hand, it can also greatly enhance the cultural atmosphere of our island, you see ......!"
Before Erwin finished speaking, he saw Situ Jin's eyes light up, and his palm slapped on his thigh: "What a good idea! Erwin, I raise my hands in favor of opening an academy on the island!"
Erwin smiled and said, "Lord Duke, it's good that you agree!, because considering that if this matter is done one day earlier, it will benefit us one day earlier, so during your absence, I have ordered Lu Wei to establish an academy in the third vice city, and I beg your forgiveness for making this decision in advance without consulting you!"
"You're doing the right thing! Erwin!" Situ Jin was not unhappy: "You are the chief political officer of the island, and you have the power to make direct decisions on many matters on the island!
Hearing Situ Jin's words, Erwin was slightly stunned, then he put away the smile on his face, nodded at Situ Jin, and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that Erwin had finished talking about the two things, John, who had been sitting on the side without speaking, said: "Your Excellency the Governor has finished speaking, let me talk about it next! Lord Duke, I ask you to allow our trading house to start selling the tea you found on the island to the entire continent!"
Situ Jin originally thought that John would report to him about the current industrial and commercial development of the island, but he didn't expect John to talk about this matter as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stunned for a moment, and then saw a smile on the faces of everyone sitting there, as if he had known that John would say this.
Seeing Situ Jin's reaction in his eyes, Gerante smiled and said: "Situ, don't you know, your tea is not hot on the island now! The tea you gave us before, we sometimes take it out to entertain colleagues or guests, but I didn't expect everyone to praise it after drinking it, and now there is no one in the upper circle on the island who doesn't know your tea!"
Bedwell also said: "Yes, don't mention it, I'm afraid of receiving people now, a lot of people ask me for tea as soon as they see me, I say that my little tea has long been drunk, they still don't believe it, it's not that I hide it and don't give them to drink! You don't know, now many people on the island are willing to pay a very high price just to buy a little bit of your tea, but unfortunately you are not there, and there is no authorization for John to sell tea, so everyone can only stare dryly!"
