Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 49
Horn stayed to teach his apprentices, and Willie, who accompanied him all the way, naturally also stayed with him without any surprise.

However, Ross did not neglect Willy, a great scholar, and he valued him no less than Little Rocky's master.

The reason is that the town of Stan is developing at a high speed, and the tall ones selected out of the dwarfs are increasingly unable to keep up with the development of the town as managers.

There is no way, these people used to be a group of illiterate farmers, if you give them a hoe, everyone will be a good farmer.

But let them manage a large group of people, they have completely numb their paws, have no clue, or just command blindly and chaotically, making a mess of things, often making some ridiculous farce, and even Bruce and even Los Clean up their mess.

Ross, who wants to be the shopkeeper, is very troubled. You must know that in the past few years, Ross has continuously recruited refugees, and selected leaders and free people. At this time, the population of one town and three villages in Stan Town has exceeded 5000, with 600 guards and 50 fighters. The population of the three villages is also more than 1000, the number of militiamen is hundreds, and the number of warriors is more than 5.

The cultivated land is more than 30 mu, and basically all the land that can be reclaimed between one town and three villages has been reclaimed into good farmland.

Now even with the help of Bruce and Thomas, the distribution of the population of each village, the plan of spring plowing and autumn harvest, the planting of potions and herbs, the construction planning of villages and roads, the training plan of the guards, and leading the team to eliminate alien races all need to be personally asked by Ross. He even dealt with it manually, he was so busy recently that he couldn't remember the last time he practiced swordsmanship properly.

Improving the management ability, cultural knowledge and personal quality of officials is already the most important issue that Stan Town needs to solve.So it's really time for the scholar Willie to appear, otherwise Ross would be ready to fight himself.

"Scholar Willy, I need to ask you for three things." Ross leaned forward and looked at Willy solemnly.

Willie was stunned for a moment, and said politely: "The mayor is too polite. It is the greatest kindness for you to take our grandparents in. If you have anything to do, please tell me directly."

Ross nodded and stretched out a finger and said seriously: "First of all, you have also seen that the town of Stan is currently developing vigorously, but the managers in the town are very lacking in terms of management experience, cultural knowledge, and personality. , which largely affects the development of the town. I hope you can spare two hours a day to teach them various cultural knowledge!"

"Secondly, I hope you can attend important meetings in the town. Use your rich experience and knowledge to remind us and check on us at the meeting!"

"Third, see if you can use your prestige and contacts to contact some scholars, professionals or craftsmen to come to our town of Stan. I promise to give them at least the status of ordinary citizens and the treatment of freedmen."

Willie can't remember how many times he marveled at the extraordinaryness of this young mayor today. This young man really knows how to make full use of all the resources around him, and has extraordinary insights and ambitions.

Maybe after this orc invasion is over, he will be promoted to the first rank of nobleman.The old scholar sighed silently in his heart.

What could be more exciting than helping a young man who is ambitious, talented, and talented to be promoted to the nobility?
Willie stood up, raised his right hand and stroked his chest, solemnly said: "Willie will do his best to do these three things well, please rest assured, Lord Mayor!"

Ross looked at Willy, who suddenly became solemn and slightly excited, and immediately understood his thoughts: "Scholar Willy, Stan Town will not treat anyone who contributes to the construction and development of Stan Town!"

Getting what he wanted Willie nodded with a satisfied smile.

Then Ross arranged for Bruce: "Arrange a small two-story building for Willy scholar, equipped with all daily necessities, and arrange two servants to take care of Willie scholar's daily life."

"Don't worry!" Bruce, who has become more proficient in work and business, agreed with a smile, then looked at Willy and said, "Scholar Willy, if you have any special needs on your side, you can make a list, and I will arrange for someone immediately." Procurement. Please believe that your choice today will be the most correct choice in your life!"

Two young figures are reflected in Willy's wise eyes, especially the young figure with blue eyes and a gentle smile, as if he has seen his heroic appearance standing on the highest point in the future.

Willie nodded heavily: "I also believe in my choice. I also believe in you!"

Three days later, Willie and his little grandson moved into Bru's well-decorated new house, with brand new furniture, soft bedding that looked very warm at first sight, desks and bookshelves exuding the fragrance of new wood, and most importantly, There are more than a dozen books on the bookshelf.

"The mayor specially prepared this for you. The mayor said that he will continue to send books to fill your bookshelf." Bruce said to Willy with a smile.

Willie trembled slightly as he touched the books that he had reunited with after a long absence. For more than half a year of wandering, he once thought that he might never have the chance to read books again.

Although these books are not as many as he used to be, and the living environment is not as good as it used to be, but this town is full of vigor and hope, and he believes that it will definitely be more prosperous and rich.

So Willie silently made up his mind that he must do his best to train the officials of Stan Town.

Excited, Willy didn't realize that Lost deliberately organized and transcribed the arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and basic data processing), and the mutated version of Sun Tzu's Art of War and other books.I believe that when he reads it, his expression will be wonderful.

Except for a servant's bedroom, a kitchen, and a small dining room and living room on the first floor of Willy's scholar's residence, the rest of the place was arranged in a bad manner by Ross to look like a previous life classroom.

The blackboard, podium, desk, and fifty desks and chairs stacked neatly underneath are the places where Wiley scholars will teach officials knowledge in the future.

This place was solemnly named Stein Academy by Ross.

After the decoration of Stan School was completed, Willie approached Rose to discuss the class fees.

Ross was surprised when he first heard this proposal, and then suddenly realized after thinking about this era.

In this world, knowledge is monopolized by the noble class, and ordinary citizens need to pay a high price to learn knowledge.Therefore, ninety-nine percent of the people in this world are illiterate and illiterate, and those who can read and write are nobles, free people with rich families, and powerful professionals.

After all, fools are more obedient and rule better, and the aristocrats only need to pay a little management manpower to squeeze and enjoy it very well.

Ross is currently just a small mayor, an official under the command of Viscount Mordo, so naturally he has no ability to change this situation, and as far as the current management system is concerned, he dare not and cannot change it at all.

So he thought for a while and said, "Then let's use two gold coins per person per month."

Yes, two gold coins a month.And two gold coins are the sum of all the income of a peasant family of four for a whole year.Knowledge is so expensive, it is a luxury that ordinary people can never afford.

Then Los, who has the memory and soul of his previous life, sighed and said: "In addition, the Stan Academy allows any citizen of Stan Town to sign up for study. As for the officials, it must be compulsory. Forget it, the officials should also change to the voluntary registration system."

Luo Si waved his hand and changed his mind. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Those who cannot seize the opportunity will be eliminated. Then he continued: "In addition to [-]% of your personal income as a Willy scholar, all the income from the school, All the rest can only be used to buy books."

"Is the tuition only one-third of what the nobles used to study? Isn't it a bit too little?" Willie frowned secretly, and then he thought it was a town and the main purpose was to train officials, so he figured it out.

In fact, this is only one of the reasons. The main reason is that Los still can't get over the Kan in his heart. He wants the common people to have a chance to learn cultural knowledge.

The next day, Bruce arranged for someone to notify the news, and made sure that every official leader of one town and three villages in Stan Town knew the news according to Rose's request.

However, Ross still underestimated the thirst for knowledge of people in this era. That morning, 50 places were filled, but there were still a lot of people outside the school holding shiny gold coins hoping to sign up for the study. Pay the tuition fee for one year.

This had to make Ross start to lament that the citizens of Stan Town are really rich.

In the end, Ross personally communicated with Willy and recruited another 50 people, who were divided into two classes, morning and evening.That meant old Willie had two lessons a day, morning and evening, two hours each.

But Willie, who wanted to save some money for his grandson, had no objection.
