Chapter 47 School Opening
In an afternoon, not to mention the ten orders can be perfectly executed, remember a few.
But at least in the resolute implementation of the first article and the prohibition of orders, the people have done a good job.
However, the corresponding price was to make the twenty recruits and nine soldiers remember Goodern's horror once and for all.
As long as there is the slightest mistake, what awaits them is not scolding and beating, but torturing them with various training tricks.
These seemingly simple movements didn't feel anything at first, but as time went on, the soreness of their bodies directly occupied their senses.
At dinner time, Gooden specially made a lot of meat in the kitchen to replenish the energy of these people.
After a short break, the evening cultural classes began.
It is said to be a cultural class, but there is only one content, and that is literacy.
Literacy is a basic skill that Gooden requires every soldier to master.
This skill may seem to have no military effect, but it is related to the overall strength of the entire army.
Goodern doesn't have to ask for a lot of troops, but he does need to be elite.
The teachers in the literacy classroom were drawn from among the literate people in the town.
In his study, listening to the faint reading outside the window, Goodern pondered the possibility of opening a school to learn the language.
The cultural popularity of this era was too low, and most of the development personnel he needed needed literacy to understand and implement.
In the case of the existing literate staff, it is completely insufficient for his subsequent development.
It seems that the plan to open a school will have to be pushed a little further.
After pondering for a moment, pull out a blank piece of paper and simply write down a summary outline on it.
This kind of universal education will inevitably require a lot of money to maintain at the beginning.
Goodwin was not stingy in this regard, and allocated 50 gold coins for the first phase of the school development fund.
In addition to the necessary teacher salaries, there are subsidies for 'students' as well as scholarships.
Incentives are necessary to make them obedient to learn the language, otherwise it will be difficult for people to learn it willingly.
Of course, in addition to these, Goodern also intends to announce a restriction on the day the school opens.
Literacy is the hard indicator that limits future jobs, and after the three literacy classes are opened, you will have to pay for the next thing you want to learn.
Under such an arrangement, at least a sufficient number of graduates can be ensured.
……
For the next two days, Goodern spent the rest of his time in his study to fish in his study, except for going out every day to inspect the construction of the brick kiln factory and supervise the training of the troops.
Since he did not have the abundant means of entertainment in modern times, the only way he could pass the time and rest was to read books.
And the books in the study are still left by the previous lord in my impression, and he came here to read very few times before.
He doesn't have the ability to travel the world yet, and Goodern can only get a rough idea of what the world is like from books.
At noon, after lunch, Goodern went out to the school to preside over the opening ceremony.
Goodern was a little surprised by the enthusiasm of the residents for learning, and the news had just been released the day before yesterday, and the next day almost all the human cubs in the town had been brought in by their parents to sign up.
In addition to the human cub classes, there are also adult classes, and the enrollment of adult classes is also very active.
When it came time to finally sort out the classes, Goodern was a little surprised.
Due to the work needs of adult residents, classes are divided into three periods: morning, afternoon and evening.
Each time slot has to be divided into three classes before all the applicants can be arranged.
The number of people in a class ranges from thirty to forty, so that nearly half of the people in the town come to the study.
Originally, Gooden was still thinking that he would succeed if he could make up a full day of work, but he didn't expect it to be completely beyond his plan.
So much so that after the list was determined, Gooden had to temporarily send someone to Jinyuan City to buy a batch of paper and pens for the school to use.
The temporary address of the school is in an abandoned warehouse in Qingyuan Town, and it is too late to build a ready-made school, so you can only find a temporary place to settle down.
At this moment, there are more than 100 people in this place, in addition to the 'students' who are in class, more of them are still coming to see the excitement.
"Today, the first school in Qingyuan Town was established here!"
"Study, is the second chance to change your fate, in the future Qingyuan Town, I will provide you with more high-paying jobs, and those who can't read and write are destined to be abandoned."
"I hope you can study hard, complete the course as soon as possible, and join the development of Qingyuan Town!"
"I announce that the school is officially open now!"
Goodern announced in a loud and agitated voice, and the crowd of onlookers around him applauded.
In the lively opening, the first literacy education class in Qingyuan Town officially began.
As the lord, Goodern listened for a while before leaving.
I obviously put pressure on the teachers and students here, so it is better to go back to the castle early to arrange other work.
In the study, Gooden sorted out his travel plans.
The first batch of manganese ore brought back has all been smelted into manganese steel, and at the same time, the recruitment of personnel to the manganese mine has also been completed, and it seems that it is time to set off for a trip to the manganese mine.
The accidental leakage of the iron ore increased the number of people who had planned to go to the manganese mine from 30 to 70.
Goodern plans to develop the manganese mine first, and then divide a small group of people from this group to work in the iron ore mine.
Thinking of this, Goodborn suddenly had a headache.
The population gap in the mines is huge, and the small-scale mining of two mines has already taken away half of the town's prime men.
Follow-up urban construction will require more personnel, and it seems that the population issue will have to be put on the table in advance.
It's definitely too late to cultivate in this life, and it seems that we have to dig into the wall......
With this in mind, Goodern began to conceive of a plan to start writing.
After some time, a light knock on the door interrupted his train of thought.
"Please come in."
Crooking his neck, Goodern moved his neck and said casually.
Then Erin entered the study with a plate of afternoon tea, which was the time for him to take a short break.
Since the maid Ina unlocked her culinary mastery, many small snacks have been able to be realized thanks to her efforts.
Today it was some baked shortbread and a pot of local tea.
"Let's have a bite to eat?" Looking at the tempting refreshments on the tray, Gooden asked.
"No, young master, there will be some work to be done later."
Erin shook her head, and Goodwin didn't invite him anymore, and the other party said that there was something to do, so there was really something to arrange.
As for Erin, she will not refuse to eat if she wants to, although it is a bit unruly for the master and servant to eat together.
But for the young master who has changed his personality, none of this seems to be a problem.
As she tasted the freshly baked shortbread, Goodern suddenly noticed that Erin seemed to be brewing something to say.
"Did something happen?" Taking a sip of tea, Goodern asked softly.
