Chapter 260: Baoshan

"Are you looking for her?"

Seeing Renault ask about Susan, an older man looked at Renault vigilantly, Susan was the benefactor of their village, and Renault, a richly dressed nobleman, did he take a fancy to her?

A commoner girl like Susan combined with a nobleman, who wants to be only a mistress, will not have a good reputation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I want to ask her if she wants to work in Blackiron Town. Renault said.

"Susan won't go. ”

The old man was immediately relieved when he heard this, some time ago Susan said that the school in Sequoia Town gave her hardware coins for a month and asked her to teach, but she still didn't go in the end.

"Why?"

She is a little girl, and she is not an old man, and she has lost her sense of novelty in things, and this kind of place is naturally inferior to the town.

She was reluctant to give up the children in the village. ”

So that's the case, Renault nodded, not incomprehensible.

However, he still wants to take her to Blackiron Town, he is too short of good teachers now, and Susan can play a bigger role in Blackiron Town.

Led by a villager and climbing five or six mountains, Renault and the Black Iron Army finally arrived at what Susan called "paradise".

Standing on the top of the hill, Renault could see at a glance that the small, low-lying basin in front of him had something different.

It is surrounded by mountains, and the lowest point is hundreds of meters high.

In such a place, there is no water accumulation, which only means that there is an underground river under it.

However, the water level of this underground river seems to have decreased a lot in recent years, so the crop harvest in this place will be worse, and in some places it will even dry up and cannot be planted.

Reynaud now has no tools for geological exploration, so natural geological formations such as underground rivers, underground caves or canyons are the only way for him to study underground geology.

This is also a subject that he must pay attention to, because everyone knows that creation is magical, and nature has given this world countless treasures, but most of them are hidden deep underground.

Coal mines and oil, and even volcanic hot springs.

If you don't have the vision and means to discover, even if you live here for a lifetime, you may not know that you are actually sitting on Baoshan.

Following the villagers' guidance, Renault walked through the open space between the dilapidated houses to Susan's house.

His father, Kerry, was lying outside in the sun in a large chair, not quite healed from his last injury. And for this year's harvest, he lost weight again.

"Lord Renault, why are you here?"

Kerry recognized Renault at a glance, and when the other villagers knew that this mild-mannered young man was actually the Grand Lord of Black Iron Town and Tuke City, they rushed over to salute him.

Susan was teaching more than twenty children in the house when she heard a commotion outside and thought it was something happening in the village again.

"Susan, Lord Reynolds is here, and Chief Kerry has told you to get out quickly. ”

Lord Renault?

Susan was stunned, how could he come here?

was about to go out to meet him, but Unexpectedly, Renault, led by the village chief of Kerry, came directly to the place where she taught.

The room was small and dim, with a large wooden board hanging from the wall, and Susan wrote with a hard clod of earth. This kind of clod of soil is not easy to find, the soil in the village is relatively loose, and it can be pinched with a little force, which she brought back from the outside.

More than 20 children were huddled on several rows of long wooden benches, and there were no books in their hands, and when they saw someone coming in, they all looked over.

Renault looked at the blackboard with some simple words written on it, equivalent to the level of a third-grade elementary school in Sequoia Town. The writing is neatly written, with a bit of beauty.

"Lord Renault. ”

Susan put down the thick parchment scroll in her hand and saluted Renault with some awkwardness. After all, this place is so shabby, there is not even a decent table.

She went to see the school in Sequoia Town, and the children who went to school there were truly happy.

Not only are the desks and chairs comfortable, the classrooms are spacious and bright, and the school also provides free lunches. Those delicious foods, even Susan didn't eat a few times.

The principal of Sequoia Township School once warmly invited her to teach at the school, and she almost agreed.

But when she thought that if she left, the children in the village would have no one to teach, she finally declined the principal's kindness.

"It's so hard. ”

After looking around, Renault shook his head and said to Susan, who went outside with him while asking the Black Iron Army to distribute candy and gifts to the children.

"No matter how hard you try, but under such conditions, you don't even have a decent textbook, how can you teach these children well?"

Susan also knows this, but the village has not had a good harvest in recent years, and there is no extra money to buy these things.

"Didn't we say okay last time, why don't you go to the school in Redwood Town to teach?"

"I ...... I can't let go of the children. ”

"Go to Redwoodtown," Renault extended another invitation, "you can take these children with you, and I can provide them with room and board for free." ”

"Really?"

Susan was overjoyed, but her expression soon darkened.

"Their parents won't agree. ”

Renault still remembers that when he was in elementary school, because of the poor and difficult conditions, his family was unwilling to pay tuition, and several of his classmates dropped out of school before graduating from primary school.

When I saw them again later, those classmates had already become fathers, and standing with Renault was not like his peers.

The result of receiving education and not receiving education is not the difference in how much money you can earn in a month, but the quality of life is not at the same level at all.

Maybe some people who didn't go to school can make a lot of money, but after all, it is a minority, and it takes good luck and opportunity.

But if you ask all the people, how many people dare to say that he is so lucky?

If there is really ore under this basin, these problems can be solved.

So when he went to Kerry and said that he wanted to dig a big well here to see what was underground, Kerry was visibly stunned.

This adult has gone to great lengths to come here just to dig a well?

"This well is going to be drilled anyway," said Renault, "and if there is any ore down there, then the basin will be fully developed." You and your villagers will be given a generous stipend, and you will choose to resettle somewhere else or stay and work for me. ”

Several years of reduced production have made this magical land lose its magic. Even Kerry himself is planning that if production cuts continue next year, he will have to take the villagers to find another way out.

Now the opportunity has come, if there is really something under this land, Lord Renault wants, then the lives of the villagers will be completely changed.

"No problem," Kerry agreed, patting his chest, "I'll go and call for help now." ”

When the villagers learned that Lord Renault was going to mine here, they gathered their tools one after another.

Many people have been to Redwood Town during this time, and the changes there have been so drastic that they can barely recognize it.

And those changes were all given by this Lord Renault. (To be continued.) )
