Old Norman was very in favor of the idea of aligning Jingchen, and asked: "What job opportunities can you offer? ”

“I want them to make this.” Qi Jingchen took out a painting book full of blank paper and gave it to Old Norman.

Old Norman curiously flipped through the book and asked inexplicably, "What's this for? ”

“Paint something, write.” Qi Jingchen came up with another drawing book, which he used to draw designs and write plans for the West Side. Now he drew some drawings in several colors and wrote many things in Yale's language.

Old Norman took a look and found out what Qi Jingchen had written. He looked at the book and asked with some surprise: "Can I have a pen?” He knew very well that the pen Qi Jingchen used to write things was definitely not a pen they often used.

Qi Jingchen certainly couldn't disagree. Immediately after Old Norman asked, he took out a blue pen for Old Norman.

Old Norman took the pen, first wrote his beautiful flower name on Qi Jingchen's book, then thought about it, and then three or two painted a unicorn horse.

Old Norman painting is very beautiful and very real. Qi Jingchen was surprised that this old man had such a gift.

“Good stuff! You've got so much good stuff!” Old Norman Dao, he didn't like to paint much, he liked to paint and drink, paint this thing, he practiced mural painting for the church when he was young, but when he got older, he couldn't paint anymore, he didn't paint... I can't help it, parchment paper is really not very suitable for painting.

“Lord Norman likes to paint?” Qi Jingchen laughed and took out a box of watercolor pens for Old Norman: “This would be perfect for you. ”

Old Norman, as a man who didn't get many painting tools, didn't hesitate to give Qi Jingchen a few dollars to buy a box, only twelve colored water pens, on the contrary, very surprised.

He graffitied his book with a pen and quickly drew another beautiful bird.

“Qi Jingchen, will you be my student?” Old Norman suddenly said, "If you will, I will teach you everything I know, and you will be my heir. ”

“Of course I do, but the Six Elders may not.” Qi Jingchen Tao, Old Norman is a good mentor, but he doesn't think the Pope would want to be an old Norman student.

Old Norman suddenly thought that Qi Jingchen was coming, and the Six Elders threw him out of the Central Branch. Qi Jingchen's identity is definitely unusual... Sighing, Old Norman stopped taking up students' affairs and just said: “You have something you don't understand, just ask me. ”

“I will, thank you, Lord Norman.” Qi Jingchen Road.

“In that case, let's continue to look at how this thing is made.” Old Norman pointed to the book in his hand and said.

Paper production is relatively simple, that the paper mill cannot be built in the West Side, it must be built by the river.

There are several great rivers near the holy city, you can see one of them from the west... Qi Jingchen intends to build a paper mill there.

Tell Old Norman briefly about his plans, and Old Norman nodded quickly: “That's it! Do something specific and I'll let the people below work with you. ”

“Thank you.” Qi Jingchen thanked you.

Qi Jingchen intends to recruit in the West Side, and the first thing he needs to do is register all the people in the West Side.

There are almost 100,000 people here. As a result, these 100,000 people don't even have a single household registration. Many children don't even have a name...

100,000 people have to register. This is definitely a huge project. In order to be able to complete it as soon as possible, Qi Jingchen specifically hired some ordinary people who are literate to help register.

Registration is done on parchment paper, in duplicate, one for the people of the West Side and one for their record.

This registration is very common, at least the people of Al-Quds Al-Sharif are registered, but the people of the West End are excited to have parchment paper of their own age, yet the vast majority of them do not know the words on it.

These people are illiterate, which is not conducive to their own management… Qi Jingchen feels that the first thing he needs to do is maybe let the children of the West Side read.

Orphans or families with children were first registered, and all children were also assigned to take care of them, basically an elderly person to take care of a small child, a large child, and then Qi Jingchen informed the children. Later, children of appropriate age among them would go to school, and their three meals a day would be distributed to them by the school.

In short, if they don't go to school, there will be no food.

Qi Jingchen said that schools are places where things can be learned, so no one in the West Side feels bad about this requirement, even very happy.

When Qi Jingchen went to see the construction progress of the school, he also saw parents bring their children and look at the newly built school: “You recognize this place, you will come here to learn the skills. If you can learn the same skills, such as how to make shoes, I don't have to worry that you will be starved in the future! ”

The orphans were also surrounded by the new school and looked at it with interest: "This is beautiful! Can I learn how to build a house here? ”

Qi Jingchen touched one of the children's naked head: “You can learn anything you want, but that's not the first thing you need to learn. ”

The kid who was so excited that Qi Jingchen touched his head was about to faint. He...

There are still a lot of literate ordinary people, but there are jobs or signed contracts with people long ago, it is impossible to work in the West Side, and Qi Jingchen has already searched for people to register, so we can hardly find people now.

Fortunately, at this time, Old Norman lent his servant to him and asked for some servants.

The servants who serve the magicians are basically literate, the old Norman servants are literate, and they are also very willing to teach the children to read - they have always done the work of serving people, and now they can be teachers to others, can't be great!

There are very, very many children in the West Side. The youngest of them do not need to go to school. Those over the age of 13 are considered adults in Yale. Finally, Qi Jingchen stipulates that children between the ages of 7 and 12 should go to school. Those between the ages of 13 and 15 can go to study if they wish.

At the end of the day, there were almost 5,000 children to study. Qi Jingchen eventually divided into 100 classes, 50 people per class.

Household registration is not yet fully registered, and the paper mill is not yet open, so many people in the West Side are empty, so they simply go to school.

Children of all ages can enter the classroom with seats, slightly older children can sit in and listen, and other adults can stay outside the classroom and wait to see what these children can learn.

“In the house, should I learn carpentry? ”

“Why don't you have the tools? ”

“What's the teacher doing? Is that parchment? ”

“The parchment is expensive. What are you doing with the parchment? ”

……

Adults outside the classroom looked at the situation inexplicably, and suddenly the teacher on the podium wrote a few words on the wall painted black with a white stone.

When the lecturer was still wondering what the wall was, the teacher asked, "Do you know these words? ”

Of course not. No one here can read.

All of them were lost, and at the end of the day, a teenager sitting in the back listening raised his hand.

“What is this word, you say?” The teacher woke the teenager up.

“It's light!” The young man stood up: “I've seen the Reverend write before! ”

“Yes, it's ‘light’,” the teacher said, "Today I'm here to teach you how to read, and the first thing I'm going to teach you is these words. ”

This teacher didn't teach these kids to work as woodworkers, he taught them to read?

Adults looking out the window at what was going on inside were stunned.

Until they fled to the Holy City, they lived in the lowest level of the population, and nothing but the fields. In their view, learning the same craftsmanship, such as carpentry, is already a very, very lucky thing. Literacy is something they dare not even think about.

If these children are literate, they will find a very good job in the future and may even be servants of the adults!

In the Holy City, being a warrior or a servant of a magician is definitely the best way out for ordinary people, and sometimes you can earn a few gold coins a month!

Even if they cannot be servants of adults, they can find a good job after literacy, and it can be said that literacy is doomed to change dramatically in their lives in the future, so that they will no longer have to rely on relief.

The people outside the window couldn't help but start to envy the children sitting in the classroom, but they were jealous, and at this time they didn't dare to speak anymore. Instead, they looked quietly at the direction of the blackboard and wanted to learn to read.

The whole school just suddenly quieted down.

In Yale, there are no literacy materials, and some large families have special ways to teach their children, but ordinary people read, basically, what teachers teach, he thinks.

And in Al-Quds Al-Sharif, because religion is so influential, the vast majority of teachers learn the words "light” and “light god” on the first day of teaching children to read.

The students looked at the blackboard and carefully painted the word "light” on their parchment paper, and the parents outside, they also painted it on their hands.

Learning these words is very simple for those who have already learned them, but the people here have never read them before, and they are especially slow to learn them. Fortunately, the teachers know this, and they are not forced to do it, but just let them learn to draw with their fingers on the desk - parchment paper is not cheap, and neither teachers nor students can use it much.

After all, it was the first day of classes, and neither teachers nor students adapted to their provinces, so one lesson ended soon, and no one else today, just learn a few words on the blackboard.

Qi Jingchen came to visit and saw that this situation was helpless. Such a classroom seemed really boring to him... However, there are no suitable teaching materials here...

But he was bored, and the students and parents who came to read, and even the people who simply came to watch, were not bored at all, but very excited: “I can write! I can write to Dora later when I play with her. ”

“You fool! Dora's here to learn how to write, but she's not in our class. ”

“Oh yeah...”

……

“Kid, you must learn well. If you learn well, maybe you will become Lord Qi Jingchen's entourage in the future! ”

“Really? ”

“You have to work hard! Go home and teach me so I can read. ”

……

Of course, there are people who are interested in and snort at reading, at least a few lazy people who were forced to work by Nie Yi before, and now the vast majority of them are lazy to come back again, and feel that reading is useless.

When Qi Jingchen came to the West Side, the first guy to attack Qi Jingchen said to others: “What's the use of reading? Can you read the word and get an extra piece of food? ”

He was talking to a woman who had fled here with her daughter. If she could not argue with her, she could only take her daughter and leave. She said to the woman: "You must read. If you do, you may be able to be a maid and marry a man from the North End so that we can live in the Holy City.” For those of them who fled here, Al-Quds is truly a wonderful place that cannot be better.

Qi Jingchen heard this conversation, couldn't help laughing, and then became more determined to clean up the West End. He didn't want the people here to become like those lazy people, fully counting on the relief of the Light God.

Of course, as a matter of urgency, perhaps he should write some textbooks, and Arabic numbers could be promoted.

There are also numbers here, but it is difficult to write, it is not convenient to use for calculation. In Qi Jingchen's view, Arabic numbers are the best to use.

But it could also be just his psychological role.

Qi Jingchen went to Old Norman and asked if there was anything simple to write, and the meaning of the song was clear.

Old Norman thought about it, he said a few songs, Qi Jingchen wrote them down, and asked, "Do you think it would be appropriate to have children's songs like this taught at school? ”

Old Norman had some confusion at first, but then quickly said: "Fit! If it were a song like this, those kids would love to learn it! ”

On the afternoon of the first day of school, the students went home. Qi Jingchen simply took all the teachers to the classroom and taught them a song to teach the children tomorrow.

Without any arrogance, these servants felt it was an immense honor to be taught by a noble priest. They said that they must teach tomorrow. When Qi Jingchen said they could tell the children some stories, they also said that they would do well.

“I can tell them magic lights! ”

“I'm a wagon chaser. I've touched a lot of warcraft. They'll love it. ”

“I'm in the kitchen, there's a magic oven, I've told people many times, it can't be any better! ”

“My master's fireplace is so beautiful, it doesn't even have to be lit to bring us warmth! ”

……

Uh... well, it's actually nice to talk about this.

After Qi Jingchen took care of these teachers, he intends to train some math teachers to come out.

However, there are not enough people... Qi Jingchen also wanted to find slaves. However, when the slave brand is engraved, the person is no longer a person, it is just an item, the people of the West Side will look down on them, and there are many restrictions on slaves now, at least they must not engage in teaching others such work.

“When I used to work with those people, I thought that some young people had some flexibility in their minds, so I could help you find some, and let Yuehui teach them to multiply and subtract, so they could go to class.” Nie Yi gave Qi Jingchen an idea.

Qi Jingchen nodded at the moment, but Yuehui was somewhat unbelievable.

She had a really bad math score when she was in school! She turned out to be such a bad math teacher? No, she's not just a math teacher anymore, she's going to train a bunch of math teachers!

The world is fantastic.

I always thought that math teachers couldn't climb high enough to go to the stage, then teach a group of children under the age of seventeen or eighteen, teach them 12345, teach them math, and then learn additions and subtractions within ten years.

Suddenly, he felt confident when he watched the multipliers ripen in the moonlight and counted his fingers as additions and subtractions within ten.

In this world, she is now one of the best in mathematics!

When Yuehui's students followed Yuehui for two days and were able to teach their children ten numbers, the paper mill began to build.

Qi Jingchen recruited a lot of workers, then took them outside the city to dig up the infrastructure plant and started buying some raw materials.

Al-Quds City is so busy that it is expensive to buy wood or anything else, but there is a money printer in the Dawn Winery, Qi Jingchen spends nothing soft, you can buy whatever you want.

Because of the busy construction of the paper mill, Qi Jingchen and Nie Yi have been living in the West End almost all the time, and they have no idea of Central College. In the villa next to the villa where they live, a couple of brothers and sisters have been involved for several days.

Louise grabbed the whip and smothered angrily at the kid on the floor, only seven years old, whimpering: "Why! Why!”

Louise has always liked to make others suffer more when she feels pain. At this point, when she is whipping, she has no mercy at all. Prince Eric and Jon have become accustomed to it. They have sympathy for Louise, and the warrior who gave Louise the idea of protecting Louise has a very ugly face.

He thought Louise was pathetic, but after he gave Louise the idea of buying a drink, losing a lot of money, and leaving Louise without a few General Crystals, he felt Louise's horror.

Originally, Louise threw things at people, and he thought they were all girls. Anyway, he was a fighter who was smashed and strangled and didn't hurt, so he didn't take it seriously at all, but... how could Louise be the only one who tortured people?

Even if he was a warrior, before Eric came, he was choked enough and even forced to eat some very horrible food... luckily Eric came and let Louise go.

Now, he looks at Louise beating the kid, and he's a little intolerant, but he doesn't dare speak for the kid.

“Louise, stop it. Aren't you tired?” Eric looked gently at his sister.

Louise pounded her head into Eric's arms: "Brother! Why that Qi Jingchen? ”

“Maybe he has something special.” Eric soothed Louise.

“I don't want to beg him! Not at all.” Louise said.

“I'll help you figure it out.” Eric laughed quickly: “There's a way. ”

Eric looked at the child lying on the ground and suddenly said: "Cut off the child's tongue and throw it in front of Qi Jingchen! ”
