Chapter 71: School Construction
The new creator named Merita is a lady, not very old and in her early twenties, but unmarried, there are too few unmarried ladies at this age in the Kemmer Kingdom, and they are generally problem ladies, but the only problem with a lady like Merita is that she is too powerful.
No matter what society it is, it is generally more difficult for strong women to get married, and Merita's family is from a very ordinary background, that is, a small family in the countryside around the craftsman village, and the ancestors do not have any ability to learn about the skills of craftsmen, and the ancestors have never produced a demigod if they remember correctly.
Fortunately, Merita had enlightened parents, so she began to receive formal education at a very young age, and her parents' wish was to marry a scribe in the future, but Merita actually awakened the creator's godhead at the age of twelve, and the whole village was shaken, demigods are indeed too rare, and it happened to be a creator, and the top creator of the pharaoh's craftsman village immediately rushed to take Merita as an apprentice.
Since then, Merita has been learning techniques in the Artisan Village, which is strange to say, Merita showed extraordinary talent at the beginning, and soon crossed the first level and became a master of the bypass, but after entering the second level, she broke all the roots and couldn't move forward, and this is ten years, and many creators in the Artisan Village who are later than her have entered the third level, and she is still standing still.
It doesn't matter if you stand still, the trouble is that Merita is starting to dislike studying and fiddling with the handicrafts of the artisan village, wandering around all day, interested in anything new, and fond of drawing, not of the kind of artistic drawings, but design drawings.
The craftsmen of the Kemert Kingdom have inherited their own craftsmanship for thousands of years, and what we pursue is not innovation, but excellence, details, details, and details, so the ultimate requirement of the creator is the details.
There is nothing wrong with pursuing the ultimate in details, but the problem is that this pursuit of details wastes a lot of time and energy, making a lot of craftsmanship a kind of competition rather than creation, which does not require your imagination, and does not allow new ideas, what you want is to repeat and repeat, and keep improving.
Merita didn't like it, so the Artisan Village quickly got tired of her, and the woman rejected all suitors, insisted on not getting married, and always looked down on men, even though the man was a top presence in the Artisan Village, she still despised and called them "templates"
The story of what happened in Menes' domain soon spread throughout the kingdom, and the matter of the divine punishment of the mummy did not attract Merita's attention, but the matter of the hydraulic blower and saw made Merita curious, so the lady asked to leave the artisan village.
The Artisan Village is a special organization, the entire Artisan Village is divided into two parts, one part works for His Majesty the Pharaoh, and the other part works mainly for the temple, this organization is similar to the state-run factory of the world before Menes, the state gives everything, including housing, clothes, food, money, from entering the Artisan Village until death.
The Artisan Village gathers the best craftsmen in the country, including creators, whose job is mainly to prepare the tombs for the pharaohs and the high priests of the temple, as well as all the burial goods, and of course to make some artifacts, but the truly high-level artifact makers will not stay in the Artisan Village.
The treatment of the craftsman village is very good, in addition to the benefits mentioned above, there are many privileges, including exemption from labor, taxes, and corresponding social status, in short, ordinary people can enter the craftsman village and live a rich and worry-free life in this life, so few people will take the initiative to give up this kind of golden job, even if they rely on it, they will not leave.
Merita readily asked to leave, and voluntarily gave up all rights and benefits, the people of the artisan village thought she was crazy, and Merita's master thought that she was not doing her job properly, and she had given up on her completely without help.
Merita's parents almost pleaded with her, but could not save their daughter's determination to leave, and just a week before Menes returned to the realm, Merita met her curious hydraulic bellows.
In fact, after seeing the real thing, Merita was a little disappointed, there is nothing magical about this thing, it is just the use of the power of the water to push the gears to move, it is not magical at all, but the person who can think of this idea is very remarkable, a simple idea can create such a different thing.
Merita heard that this leader is going to open a school, so she came to sign up for it as soon as possible, this school is amazing, not only do you not need money but also make money, as long as you are willing to study.
Merita also needs money, so why not kill two birds with one stone?
Menes' school is a simple classroom, a blackboard.
The classroom is connected to the temple of Gua, the sect of Gua has no name at all, and there are no religious texts, and the basic doctrine is almost "fraternity, non-war, and vegetarianism", and there are no other rules.
Originally, Menes planned to name the sect of Gu'a Buddhism, but in addition to not eating meat, the others seem to be quite different, not saying that they should not kill, did not say that they should abstain, nor did they say that they must universalize sentient beings, and this old man liked to talk to Menes about some science and engineering knowledge, so in the end, Menes slapped his thigh and named the old man's sect "Mojia", and all the believers were called Mojia.
"Isn't it the same principle that love, non-aggression and fraternity, non-war?" is just one more vegetarian and there is not much difference, Gu A listened to Menes tell the story of the Mo family, and felt that it was indeed similar to his own philosophy, so he confirmed that his sect was called "Mo Jiajiao"
The first phase of the Mojia sect temple was used by Menes to establish a school, and the name of the school was also the Moshi Academy, which had no liberal arts, only science.
There are a total of twenty-four people in the first phase of this academy, including Daidia, Nana, Ypuya, Bata, Nacht, Merita, and Dill also came to sign up but unfortunately did not pass the exam, Butehamon originally wanted to come to class, but was driven back by Menis, this guy can settle accounts, and there is no need to study.
Jett was concentrating on his own magic, and besides, he was a member of the temple, how could he enter a human temple to study?
The students of the Moshi Academy take exams when they enter the school, so there is basically no problem with basic literacy and hyphenation, and simple arithmetic is also passed, so the college does not need to teach writing, and there is no plan to open liberal arts, poetry and poetry do not need Menes to be responsible for education, and music and art should not be thought about before they have eaten enough.
The curriculum of the college is relatively simple, that is, basic mathematics, basic geometry, basic physics, and basic chemistry.
Half a day of classes every day, a total of four classes, forty-five minutes of class, plus a fifteen-minute break, of course, Kemert has no clock, Menes looked at the sun to lecture, the length is arbitrary, sometimes the lecture is hi, a class is a morning, so that everyone asks to go to the toilet halfway, and some are tired after Menes talks, so they study directly by themselves.
But basically every morning the lecture is held, and in the afternoon the students go home to do their homework.
Among all the students, Daidia has the best foundation and the best grades, and Merita has the strongest perceptual ability, so she learns quickly, and because she doesn't have to mix with Menes' money-making and construction business, she has more time and quickly learns Menes' basic courses.
After listening to Menes lecture a few times, Gu A actually came to be an auditor himself, and he did not do well to promote his own teachings, to influence the lost lambs, and to come every day to be a supernumerary student.
Not long after this student became a student, he took a new position and began to become a medical teacher for students.
Gu A is a snake blower, has psychic skills, and he himself is also enthusiastic about the study of medical technology, so when he has free time, he often lectures on medical knowledge to students, and soon every afternoon there are students who take the initiative to stay and listen to his lectures on medicine.
Menes' knowledge of the structure of herbs and the human body, as well as basic pathology, was astonishing, especially the techniques of trauma treatment, how to graft bones, suture wounds, and even know to disinfect wounds without using spells.
Gua became a volunteer teacher,
Menes had said something about coke last time, and it was quickly figured out, and the coke burned sufficiently, and sure enough, the furnace temperature was further increased, and the new cement was of higher quality.
The mummy of Divine Punishment brought back by Menes was restored to ten, plus the five that had been left behind, and all of them were put into production.
Cement red bricks were produced in large quantities, and Menes' first plan was to rebuild the walls.
The city walls of the Holy Cat State used to be made of clods of earth, which were very low and could not withstand the attacks of undead beasts, and basically belonged to the kind that fell down when pushed.
After Menes saw the Rashen Fortress, he fantasized about that kind of city wall, but when it was actually built, Menes still greatly reduced the height, after all, the possibility of the Holy Cat City being attacked by the undead beast is not high, and it is estimated that the entire Kemert Kingdom will be in danger one day.
At present, the main defense of the city of Menes is still attacked by mortals.
Therefore, the height of the whole city wall is only ten meters, not too high, but relatively thick, the upper part of the city wall is four meters wide, and it can keep the horse cart on the top, and the city wall has a lot of arrows and towers.
Every fifty meters is a tower with a crossbow or catapult on top of it, which can directly attack the enemy from a distance of 300 meters.
Behind the city gate, an urn city was added, and many moats, suspension bridges, and iron gates were excavated outside, all of which were built according to the highest standards of the Cold Weapon Era.
The cement red brick walls were not only solid and reliable, but also faster than the traditional way, and the Holy Cat City was not large, Menes mobilized the manpower of two states to build the walls, and it took only half a year to complete the construction.
The construction of Menes' city walls quickly alarmed the entire kingdom, and without taking advantage of the blessings of the temple magicians, such a towering and strong city wall was built using clay and sand and stone?
What is that cement? It's soft and can be applied to the walls at will, and when it dries, it's as solid as stone, what kind of magic is that? Clay calcining makes red bricks, which are obviously stronger than adobe bricks, and black stones dug out of the desert can burn? It's amazing.
Since the completion of the construction of the city wall, Menes has often encountered people digging the foot of the wall, always trying to steal Menes' red bricks and cement, this is really digging the foot of the wall!
