Chapter 153 Writing a Textbook

Uncle Powell takes Adrian very seriously, but not his daughter.

Especially the daughter who doesn't have extraordinary talent, the relationship is even more ordinary.

Flora was already nineteen years old, and Uncle Powell had not planned a marriage for him, as if he had forgotten about his daughter.

Flora is a member of the Haaland family, and the number of heirs to the title has reached more than a dozen.

She herself does not have knightly blood, and it is very difficult to marry nobles. If you insist on marrying a nobleman, you can only choose from crooked melons and cracked dates.

Moreover, Richard now lacks available talents, and he does not want this cousin to marry outside.

He introduced Flora to Jennings, the young squadron leader of the territory.

Flora was very pleased with Jennings, and after informing Uncle Powell, Powell did not refuse.

The customs of most areas of the Dawn Plane do not have the habit of falling in love, and the level of social development cannot support the extravagant behavior of free love.

Marriage in this world is very simple, and it can be decided when you meet each other.

The taller the person, the less autonomy he has in marriage. Unless it is a genius like Richard and Sophia, he has some say in marriage.

After meeting Jennings a few times, Flora decided to get engaged, and their wedding was scheduled for February.

In order to recruit talent, Richard paid elementary school teachers very high salaries.

The average teacher has a salary of eight silver coins a month, two months of vacation a year, and three days off every month, which adds up to nine months of work a year and an annual salary of eight gold coins, which is more than the highest-paid soldiers in Haaland's territory.

A soldier's annual salary is only eight gold coins. Soldiers have few holidays, train very hard, and face all kinds of dangers.

Relying on high salaries, I was able to recruit a few students that the church did not look up to.

Flora's salary was three times that of a teacher, amounting to two gold coins per month, slightly higher than that of the deputy squadron leader.

With such a high income, coupled with the blood of the Haaland family, marrying Jennings is definitely a high climb.

The tuition fee at Riverbank Primary School is not cheap, and the annual tuition fee is one gold coin, which is even a heavy burden for ordinary families.

Except for the middle and upper echelons of the territory, there are no freedmen who can afford it for the time being.

There are more than 160 students in the primary school, the oldest of whom is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest one who is only seven or eight years old.

These children are largely illiterate.

Their parents were almost all slaves and outcasts, and by virtue of their own talents, plus more opportunities for territorial start-ups, they were promoted by Richard and achieved a leap in class.

Most people who climb the ladder generally have higher IQs and stronger abilities than the average person, and attach great importance to education.

More than 200 children were sent to study.

The remaining 40 or so children are estimated to have brothers and sisters studying at home, and the burden is too heavy to go to school.

Even if it is a territorial administrator, a low-ranking officer, not a single gold coin is not a small amount of money.

Riverbank Primary School has only six teachers, because the number of teachers is not enough, and the principal Flora also teaches and teaches in person.

By the beginning of the school year, Flora had already prepared a textbook on law and geography.

Law and geography are only available in the upper grades, and there are no textbooks for the time being.

The laws of Haaland's domain are temporarily copied from the laws of the Kingdom of Grant, which can be slowly revised in the future.

Noble lords have the right to make laws in their own domains.

But the law of the lord cannot conflict with the constitution of the kingdom of Grant.

The purpose of the course of law is mainly to train judges for the territory.

Writing a law textbook was actually very difficult, and it required Flora to read a lot of law books to find the provisions that were suitable for Haaland's territory.

Geography textbooks are just as difficult to compile and require a lot of map information.

The Haaland family's collection of maps, Flora has read almost all of them.

The mountains, valleys, rivers, and castles of the territory are all engraved in Flora's mind.

The course of geography is mainly for drawing maps, and after learning to draw maps, the same professional level, officer promotion will be preferred.

With the accumulation of knowledge, Richard will also open a secondary school in the future to learn more geography knowledge and offer geology courses.

Geology has developed, and it will be easier to find mines.

If the geology of the Dawn plane wants to develop, I am afraid that it cannot do without the help of magic. Flora has no talent for magic, and it is difficult for her to do magical experiments, and at best she can only write elementary school textbooks.

Can magical geology evolve? To become the new development direction of the magic civilization in the Dawn Continent, it is estimated that it depends on the research of the next generation of magicians.

Richard attached great importance to Riverside Elementary School, and even found Sophia and Wendy, and participated in the compilation of the textbook with Flora.

At the beginning, the textbooks of literature and mathematics were very simple, and they only needed to copy the textbooks of the church.

The two textbooks were handed over to six teachers and were completed before the start of the school year.

Law and geography are new subjects taught at Riverbank Elementary School, and the work of compiling textbooks may last two or three years, and the three of them have other things to do, so they can only share some simple tasks, and the main thing is still Flora's work.

Flora was writing the textbook, and Richard's uncle, Gorog, was preparing the first edition of the Code of Grant's Land.

In recent years, Richard has mainly used military law to govern his territory.

Military law is very harsh and not suitable for the continued development of the territory.

Rogge was well-versed in the Grant Kingdom Code and also served as an auditor in the South.

He is the most proficient in the law in the realm, although he is very busy as a civil magistrate, and he has to work overtime every night to write the code of the Harland territory.

In order to relieve the pressure on himself, Rogge wrote a letter to his brother Otto, hoping that Otto would come back and help his brother-in-law govern the territory.

In the letter, Rogge was very optimistic about the development of the Haaland family and introduced the situation of the Haaland family.

Otto served as a judge at Nolan, and he was a true legal professional.

If Otto is willing to return, Richard will appoint him Lord Chancellor of Haaland's domain.

Anne followed Sophia to learn magic, and Bonova, Connie, and Ellie, who were gifted with magic, needed to learn writing for a year before they could begin to practice meditation.

This year, Riverside Primary School recruited 163 students, divided into four classes according to their age.

Because the students are illiterate, in fact the knowledge taught in the four classes is the same.

Because of the difference in age, children's comprehension ability, learning progress, and learning habits will also be different.

After a while, the pace of teaching will be faster.

Counting Flora's seven teachers and teaching more than a hundred children, the teacher's task is a little heavier, and Richard is also preparing to recruit a few teachers.

In order to recruit talents, Richard offered the teachers a higher salary, and the annual salary of six teachers plus Flora was seventy-two gold coins.

Recruit a few more teachers, and the salary expenditure may exceed a hundred gold coins.

In addition, money is needed to build a school, and money is needed for desks, chairs, benches, blackboards, and chalk. Even though he charges high tuition, Richard doesn't actually make money running a school.
