When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 758 Very Short

Even in late summer, the scorching sun in the early morning still makes people's scalps itchy.

The central square of the Holy See University is crowded with people at this moment.

Senius, Kerben and other scholars sat on the podium, and below the podium were hundreds of college students.

With books tucked under their arms, the college students were chattering and laughing.

Until the ceremonial officer shouted loudly: "The Ecumenical Patriarch of the Thousand Valleys, the Honorary Grand Justice of the Black Snake Bay, the Holy Pope of the Holy Axis Alliance, our great sun, His Majesty Horn Garrar, to--"

The guards drew closer with their boots, the trombones sounded, and the place immediately fell silent.

When Horn, wearing a sling, stepped onto the pulpit, the college students below immediately beat their chests and waved their hands.

A huge roar of respect came from the crowd: "Pious! Sincere!"

Horn looked around at the hundreds of college students present and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Since the beginning of the year, Horn has been gradually supporting compulsory education at the municipal level.

From the beginning of the year to June, 62 compulsory primary schools were set up in various towns in the three southern counties of the Thousand River Valley: Lower River County, Kasha County and Langsand County.

In urban areas, 22 elementary schools and five Frick middle schools were also built with investment from lottery tycoon Brandon.

Currently, these primary and secondary schools have enrolled more than 13000 students.

Although the classroom was just a brick bungalow, not to mention second-hand tables, chairs and benches, it was enough to cope with the situation.

Children of residents who live in a town and pay taxes to the town must attend elementary school.

As for rural areas, if they voluntarily come, they can also attend primary school.

These primary schools offer three subjects including literature, mathematics and history.

At present, each county seat is also establishing middle schools, recruiting students from primary schools at all levels.

In the future, the universities of the Holy See will recruit students from the middle schools in each county.

As for the teachers, they were summoned from all over the empire through the relationship between the Larkin Family and the Krabby Patty Family.

In addition, disabled officers who learned to read and write during the war would also be arranged to teach in primary schools.

Due to the shortage of manpower at the grassroots level, they often also serve as captains of the Night Watch and the Crusaders.

At the common opening ceremony of the Holy See University, Horn saw many students from middle schools across the country among the new students.

In addition to the students who were promoted from high school, he also saw young wizards from Black Snake Bay and craftsmen wearing rough robes.

The wizards naturally came for the Dragon Language Alchemy University, while the craftsmen came for the newly opened Metallurgical College and Engineering College of the Holy See University.

Among this batch of freshmen, Horn even saw college students in their thirties and fifties. After all, talents are rare, so he did not set any age limit.

"Eternal Lord, Creator of the World, Your Holy Name Resounds in the Wilderness and the Fortress..."

Everyone present, even the people from the Black Snake Bay, bowed their heads: "Eternal Lord..."

In the Holy See with a strong religious atmosphere, although people are doing quite secular things, they still can't stop talking about the Holy Father.

At the end of reciting the prayer poem, Horn drew the character "噫" on his forehead with his finger.

"In the name of the Father, the Lord, and the Tree, Amen."

"Amen."

Only then did the college students raise their heads and look at Horn on the podium.

“Four hundred years ago, the saint Shelley saw the barbaric civilization of the Thousand Valleys, so he came by ship to bring knowledge and religion to the Kushites.

He always saw one person teaching another, whether the other person was a pagan or a robber.

Some people say that you should keep your skills to yourself, otherwise if everyone learns your skills, you will starve to death.

But he said, if I die of hunger because of this, I will have no regrets. "

In his speech at the opening ceremony, Horn began with a short story by saint Shelley.

Then he changed the subject and came to the present: "Therefore, I will set "teaching without distinction and teaching tirelessly" as the founding purpose of the universities of the Holy See.

Whether you are a Leia, a Frank, a Norn, a Black Snake Bay, or even a Snakeman or a Dwarf, you are all welcome to the Holy Court.

Whether it is for studying or communication, what Shengxieting University can provide is not only the guarantee of knowledge, but also the protection of interests.

All 25 college students who graduated last year entered the Holy See and the Holy Union Government and were praised by fellow believers. During their time at school, the scholars developed many patents, such as the pedal thresher and the horse-drawn seed drill, which brought them a lot of glory and wealth.

Of course, I believe that you came here for knowledge, so I will share part of the great library of the Holy See this year, reprinting and translating a large number of works from old times."

Before Horn finished speaking, the students below and even the scholars nearby cheered loudly in surprise.

In the Empire, knowledge is extremely expensive.

Even if you want to borrow a book, you have to guarantee your reputation or pay a hefty deposit.

But in the Holy Court, all you need is the identity of a college student or scholar.

Works from old times, obscure theological texts, and empirical formulas summed up by craftsmen can all be borrowed and read.

Various engineering materials and government archives are available for free access.

Not to mention the massive amount of job opportunities. Some college students even start going to school in the morning and working in the afternoon in their second or third year.

Horn smiled and pressed his hand: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, I have even better news.

After negotiations with the dwarves, some of them decided to share their knowledge and craftsmanship with us.

Therefore, this year, the University of the Holy Trinity will open a new college - the School of Metallurgy.

Let us welcome the head of the School of Metallurgy, the dwarf master Thorol Firetongs."

There was another round of cheers from the audience. The dwarf named Thorol had obviously never seen such a scene before.

His bronze face slowly turned into a coppery color, and after a long while he spoke, "Dear students..."

Looking at the dwarf master who was stumbling and forgetting his words on the stage, and Senius who rushed forward to save the situation.

Horn turned to the black-robed dwarf elder beside him and said, "What do you think?"

"I will continue to investigate."

The old dwarf answered bluntly that if anyone from North Mound County was present at this time, he would definitely shout - isn't this Grand Master Dunak?
His waist-length beard was shiny and greasy, and the ends were tied up with a rope so as not to interfere with his movements.

But now he appears in the Holy Court?
You know, Torol is a reformist dwarf, and their establishment of an academy at the University of the Holy See was regarded as a betrayal by the conservative dwarves.

If others found out that Master Dunak, who refused to come to the Holy Court, was here and at the opening ceremony of the Metallurgical Institute, the world would collapse for the conservative dwarves.

Listening to Dunak's words, Horn still murmured as if tempted by the devil:

“You see, you are also trying to find the laws in metallurgy, and metallurgy is a very complicated subject.

You need enough people to help you with experiments and detailed research, right?

They need to be knowledgeable and sensitive enough not to miss any key information.

At the same time, you see, there has been no breakthrough in alchemy for hundreds of years, but in less than three years, all kinds of achievements have burst out. Doesn't this prove something?"

"I still need to observe." Dunak had the stubborn temper of a classic dwarf and still refused to give in.

"How about this, you stay here first, I'll assign you a few students, and you do a project first to see how it goes?"

Dunak hesitated. He looked up at the excited Reformation dwarves around him, and nodded slowly after a long while: "Then let's stay here first... Your Majesty Horn, can you prepare a room for us to discuss things?"

Horn was stunned when he received the spy invitation from the old dwarf.

He knew the two would have a secret conversation, but was it too early now?

But Horn had no reason to refuse: "Of course, Claude, go and arrange it."

"Yes."

Turning his head and looking at Dunak with a smile, Horn was about to speak when he sneezed without warning.

"Ah!"

For some reason, Horn subconsciously looked towards the north.

Why did you suddenly sneeze in such hot weather?

"what happened?"

"Nothing, please."
