Chapter 59 Scholarship

After a while, Joyce completed the task Ron gave her.

There are more than [-] textbooks in total, not much content, only basic knowledge, so each textbook only has ten pages.

Ron designated it as the first volume of the textbook, and the second volume will be published later.

Incidentally, these 120 textbooks cost a total of [-] silver coins, which is considered cheap.

Considering the wear and tear of repeated use, these textbooks will not last long, so they will be used as secondary consumables for the time being.

"My lord, according to your instructions, I have issued notices in every village and town, and I have arranged clerks from the villages and towns to explain it all day long."

Egbert made a report, "I believe that soon, all the people in Arnold's territory will know the existence of the 'school'."

This is the definition given by Ron. Because the scale is small, it is also divided into ten places, which cannot be called a general 'college'.

On the side, Joyce couldn't help asking: "My lord, since the school is ready, how do you let the leaders go to the school for classes?"

She didn't think that Ron was the kind of person who relied on the majesty of the lord to make the people obedient. He must have a way to get the people to participate willingly.

Ron didn't speak, Egbert said with a smile: "Miss Joyce, please rest assured, this matter was entrusted to me by the lord, and it is also the work I will report next."

Now Joyce is no longer a maid, but Melittoia's teacher, and the manager of the territory's government affairs. In addition, the ability she has demonstrated during this period deserves Egbert's respect.

"My lord, I have already spread the news about the scholarship, and most of the people in the community don't believe it. Should the amount be reduced?" Egbert said.

scholarship?
Joyce's eyes lit up, and he knew Ron's method in an instant, and he respected him even more in his heart.

According to what Egbert said just now, the amount of the scholarship should be quite a lot, 1 silver coin?Or 10 silver coins?

"No, it's still based on the standard of 1 gold coin. Whether it's now or in the future." Ron shook his head and said indifferently.

1 gold coins!

Joyce was moved. This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for a commoner family. Under such a temptation, she believed that no one would refuse such a pie.

"But the ten schools all follow the standard of 1 gold coin, that is, 10 gold coins. You stipulate that scholarships will be issued every six months, which will be a huge expense."

"Don't worry, compared to the future benefits, this is just a small amount of money."

Ron chuckled. In fact, 20 gold coins a year is not a big expense, but if there is no return for the money spent, it will be a loss.

In Arnold's territory where talents are extremely scarce, Ron's actions are tantamount to throwing money, but he doesn't care, what he wants is to bring this learning atmosphere into the lives of the people.

Make learning knowledge a routine, even if it takes a long time, he will do it.

"Have all the teachers in the school selected good people?" Ron asked deliberately.

Egbert replied: "It's already been selected. They have some reputation in the town. I also asked Miss Joyce to evaluate them. They have good teaching ability and good character."

"That's good."

Ron was very satisfied with the work efficiency of the two, and then briefly explained the meaning of the scholarship to Joyce.

Ten schools hold a unified examination every six months, and the best students in each school will receive a scholarship of 1 gold coin.

Most importantly, there is no age requirement for 'students', even adults can enter the school to learn knowledge.

This means that adults also have the opportunity to get that huge sum of 1 gold coin.

Of course, that is only if they believe it to be true.

Cotter Town.

A group of civilians gathered around the sign and asked what was written on it.

A well-dressed civil servant next to him opened his mouth to explain to everyone. When he finished speaking, everyone shook their heads, obviously not believing it.

"Going to school is a privilege only for noble masters and rich merchants' young masters and ladies. Not only do they not have to pay tuition fees, but they also give money back. You really think of us as fools."

"That's right, one gold coin is too exaggerated. I only have two silver coins when I go to the mountains to search for herbs for a day."

Most people have an attitude of disbelief, and some even scoff, mocking the lord from the bottom of their hearts.

The man didn't explain much, but just explained to everyone calmly, "Anyone who wants to go to school can go to the school on West Street. Registration starts today. There is no age limit, as long as you are sincerely willing to learn, you can go."

Everyone dispersed in a rush, a group of people went, and another group of people came, and the civilian staff took the trouble to repeat the explanation.

Not for anything else, just because this job is worth 1 silver coin an hour!
Only for one month!

Most of the civilians who came and went watched the excitement, but there were still a small number of people who came to the school with suspicion.

"May I ask if you sign up for the school here?"

A woman carrying a vegetable basket came to the front of the school according to the address, and saw two people sitting behind the long table, one of whom was dressed very differently.

"Yes, please fill in this information. It needs to fill in the name and home address of the class. If you don't know how to write it, I can do it for you." The man dressed differently handed a form to the woman people.

The woman hesitated for a while, and filled in the name of her child.After he finished filling it out, the girl next to the man handed the textbook to the woman and said, "This is a textbook for class, please give me 2 copper coins."

"Huh? I still need to give money."

The woman was startled, didn't she agree that the class would be free?Is it really a deceitful lie as those people said?

The girl said sincerely: "This is the textbook for class. It was compiled by Ms. Veronica from the Lord's Mansion. Take a look at the content on it. Is it better than other reading materials?"

As she spoke, she opened the pages of the book for the women to flip through.

"You can buy this quality for only 2 copper coins, and you've made a lot of money!"

After listening to the girl's words, the woman believed it, and even if she didn't come to class, the textbook alone would not be a loss.

After the woman paid for the textbook, the girl said again: "Is your child's name written on it?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" the woman asked anxiously.

The girl smiled, "Of course it's no problem. If you can find a companion for your child to study with, and the two of you can urge each other to make progress together, you may have a great chance of getting that 1 gold coin scholarship."

The woman wanted to say something, but a few applicants came behind, and the girl took care of the others.

But the girl's words were kept in her heart, 1 gold coin!

The more she thought about it, the more the woman felt that what the girl said was not a lie, and the scholarship could not be a lie!

She thought that the child next door was about the same age as her own, and she should mention it to her neighbors when she went back.

In the evening, there are fewer and fewer people on the street.

The entrance of West Street School.

The girl rubbed her shoulders. She was exhausted after the day. Looking at the thick list in hand, she felt happy.

The man let out a breath, looked at the girl with a gratified look, and said, "Miss Rosalind, thanks to you today."

The girl was Rosalind. When she heard the man's words, she said helplessly, "Mr. Xavier, don't call me Miss."

Xavier shook his head, "I just served as your teacher for a while, you are Lord Black's daughter, I should call you Miss."

"Even so, you are my teacher."

It can be seen that Rosalind respects men very much, and the two of them no longer struggle with the issue of address.

Xavier said: "Mr. Egbert came to me to be a teacher in the school, and you should intervene in it."

"I just mentioned it in front of my grandfather, and it is my grandfather who makes the final decision."

Rosalind chuckled, "And with your ability, teacher, you will definitely be selected for the ten places."

Xavier was silent for a moment, "Do you think this school has great prospects for development?"

Although he served as Rosalind's teacher for a short time, the girl's level of intelligence was the only one he had ever seen in his life.

The business talent shown by Rosalind amazed Xavier even more. In his opinion, the establishment of the school was just a means for the lord to publicize his reputation.

Many nobles will do some good deeds to win the loyalty of the people, which is a very common method.

But Rosalind strongly recommended him to be the school teacher, whether there is something in it that he didn't discover.

Thinking of this, Xavier looked at Rosalind in amazement.

Hearing the teacher's question, Rosalind didn't answer immediately. She frowned and said, "I just have a vague idea, and I'm not sure yet."

Suddenly, Rosalind looked at Xavier seriously and said, "Teacher, I need your help."

Xavier immediately understood what she meant, and said with a complicated look: "Haven't you given up yet?"

"Yes."

Rosalind nodded affirmatively, "I must prove it to grandpa and father."

"It seems to me that your proof is unnecessary."

Xavier sighed, looking at the girl's never-before-serious expression, he pondered: "Mr. Egbert has always been tolerant, and he treats you and Master Matt the same. But Mr. Black is hard to say."

Seeing the girl's mood getting low, Xavier sighed in his heart, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Miss Rosalind, I will help you."

Rosalind smiled brightly, "Thank you, Mr. Xavier."

-

A few days passed.

In the study, Joyce reported to Ron the number of people attending the school.

"There are ten schools in three towns, and a total of more than a thousand people are willing to attend classes. Among them, the West Street School in Kete Town accounts for three tenths, much more than other schools."

There are more than 3 people in Arnold's territory. It is not bad to have 1000 people willing to attend the class in a short period of time. After all, this cannot be done overnight.

"Did something happen on West Street? Why are there so many more people? It's because the teacher is very good?" Ron became interested.

"I have already inquired that the students who come to the class are all children. They supervise each other's study in pairs, and they all compete for scholarships." Joyce replied.

Ok?
This is a study group?

Ron was stunned. He didn't think it was the child's own idea, let alone the parents behind the child.

"What's the name of the teacher at West Street Academy?" Ron asked curiously, and he believed that it was the teacher who came up with the solution.

"It's a teacher named Xavier, who used to be a teacher in Mr. Egbert's family."

Ron nodded, remembering the name.

Then he told Joyce to pay more attention to the affairs of the school and asked him to leave.

On the mansion training ground.

Seeger sent away the elated Irene again. After so many days of practice, his control over the temperature has increased to a point where he can do whatever he wants.

For example, it only took three seconds to help Erin cool down the popsicles just now!
And as he proficiently controlled his own abilities, his body became stronger after exercising under high temperature for a long time, and with it, the speed of fighting qi cultivation increased rapidly.

Seeger felt that the speed of fighting qi practice could no longer keep up with the strength of his body, no matter how much he absorbed the fighting energy, there was only a feeling of emptiness in his body.

The body is like a sponge that can never absorb water.

The more you use your abilities to exercise your body, the deeper this feeling becomes.

At this time, Buprofen came over and asked strangely: "Why does Irene always come to you these days? Do you two have some secret?"

Sig gave him a blank look and didn't speak.

After he obtained the bestowed ability, he didn't tell anyone else that Irene was Ron's personal maid and came to him only after he was ordered, so Sig showed off his ability to the fullest.

Although every time he used his ability, Irene would say "It's amazing" and then ask him how he did it, but he would just laugh it off.

Since the lord didn't say anything, as the most loyal subordinate, he certainly wouldn't talk too much.

Although it is not clear why, Sig believes that there is the intention of the lord.

Seeing that Sig was unmoved, Buprofen felt bored, put his shoulders on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Go, go to Master Hadey for a drink."

After a push, but there was no push, Buprofen continued to persuade: "I also called Anthony and Malcolm. Although every time I ask Master Hadey to drink, I have to pay, but the wine he brews is delicious. worth."

Sig: "I don't have any money."

"How is it possible that the salary that was just issued a few days ago has been used up?" Buprofen obviously didn't believe it, thinking that Sig just didn't want to go drinking with him.

Sig was also puzzled. Although the lord had said on the day the ability was bestowed that he would no longer be given a salary, he still gave him a salary later.

But then a strange thing happened. The salary he carried in his pocket disappeared, and he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.

By now, Seager was truly penniless.

After listening to Sig's explanation, Buprofen looked suspicious, "Really?"

"I did not lie to you."

Seeing that Sig didn't seem to be lying, Ibuprofen waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll treat you, and you will pay me back next time."

"If you have money, I will definitely invite you!"

The two made an agreement and called Anthony and Malcolm to the blacksmith workshop together.

Days passed, and Nancy's alchemy workshop was finally built.

On the day of the completion of the project, Nancy moved out of the Baron's Mansion. There was no other reason, but Melittoya would come to her every day to 'play', and every time she would bring pudding, popsicles and other delicious things, which made her feel bad. Chase people.

A few days after Nancy lived in the alchemy, the 'Kordo of Consecration' was crafted.

Strange as it sounds, it's Nancy's name, and it's just as magical and cheaper as artificial rainfall.
Ron rushed over after hearing the news, and fell into deep thought while looking at the potted plants in front of him.

Pointing at the potted plant, he stared and asked, "Please explain to me, what is this 'Consecrated Cordo'?"

Nancy looked towards the sky through the window, and said in a soft voice: "My lord, do you know Cordo's life?"
