Li Wei looked at the picture of primary school students of all ethnic groups holding various snacks in front of the school with pure and bright smiles, and he couldn't help but smile with joy.

It seems that he has forgotten that given his age, in the eyes of the dragon clan, he is just a young dragon cub who has just entered his teenage years.

Building a school was an idea that Li Wei had as early as when he was building Hog Mining after unifying Zeelandia. It was not just a slogan or a means to win people's hearts.

Levi's goal in the future is to create a mining oligarch that spans the entire continent of Corell and even sells to the upper and lower outer realms.

Be real and have a mine at home!

But to achieve this ambitious goal, it is absolutely impossible to achieve it only by relying on passion and a group of talented miners!

An existence that can be called an industry oligarch must require many middle-level managers who have received a certain degree of education and have the ability to execute the will of the upper management.

And Corel is not Blue Star. Most of the area here is still stagnant in the era of feudal city-state kingship due to various complex reasons.

In this social background, most educational resources are monopolized by aristocrats or a small group of people from the upper class. If ordinary people want to obtain knowledge, they need to pay a price that is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Li Wei once heard Calvin say that in their city of Jishui, if a person was born in an ordinary family, even if he wanted to reach a preliminary level of literacy, he would have to spend a lot of tuition fees to go to some teachers' homes to get a little education.

teach.

The extent of this kind of teaching depends on whether the teacher is dedicated and responsible.

If you encounter someone who is irresponsible, there are many people who will just throw in a few textbooks and let the students study by themselves for a few minutes.

As for basic arithmetic, most people can only apply for jobs in some merchant stores. Only if they need to provide some basic training can they be qualified for the clerk position in the store.

But this often requires signing a harsh agreement, and it is possible to serve the merchant for more than a few years with a basic salary or even just food and accommodation.

This is an ordinary family that can save some money through labor to pursue knowledge.

If they are slaves who are not even civilians, their basic survival will be a problem, let alone education.

After some in-depth understanding of the masses, Li Wei got a simple fact that somewhat destroyed the three views.

In Corell, apart from the academies established by some large city-states and the tutoring model of nobles, the vast majority of education is actually monopolized by the major churches of the gods!

Yes you heard it right.

In the continent of Corell, the people with the highest average level of education are not the magisters who are knowledgeable about astronomy and geography and can fire cannons, nor are they the nobles who are awesome and can fool anyone else, but the unknown pastors of the major churches.

.

There is also a competitive relationship between the beliefs among the gods, but you can't just cut them off with a knife if you disagree.

Hence the art of eloquence, which originally existed to promote one's own doctrines and win over more believers.

Therefore, the aspect of literacy and hyphenation is also divided into three aspects: grammar, rhetoric and logic.

Without mastering basic grammar and rhetoric, how can you preach the doctrines of belief in gods? Without basic logic, you will be completely refuted by other priests in minutes.

You have embarrassed God, how can you get God's favor?

As a spokesman for God, he is smooth-talking and can speak and write, but he is still not qualified for the job of a priest.

So on the basis of these three items, several courses such as arithmetic, music and prayer were derived.

Arithmetic was originally used to count the daily donations received by the church from believers and nobles. Learning music was to better praise the teachings and stories of the gods.

Prayer is a way to upgrade your faith and obtain divine magic.

Later, I don’t know if the pastor felt that one-on-one or one-on-one teaching was too ineffective, so he established a church college.

For example, there is a Spider Academy in Gelthorne City.

But Rose's teachings are too bizarre to serve as a universal example.

In the early days of church colleges, in addition to teaching, these children had to do two things: copy scriptures and work.

Even though many preparatory pastors don’t know the words above at all, they can only copy the words.

Priests believe that this is also a way of learning and practice.

As more doctrinal scriptures were copied, it gradually became an early library.

The masters looked at it and said, hey, this is a good idea. The more books, the better.

So these wall hangings even developed the zero-ring trick [Scribe] for this purpose.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of elite-educated group must give priority to serving the interests of their families or the forces they belong to.

Even if you defect to Levi, Levi will not dare to use it before it has been screened and reviewed.

For this reason, building an educational institution of your own and cultivating your own talent pool is the only way to go.

Otherwise, even if Hoge Mining and Zeelandia grow bigger together in the future, they will face many problems that will inevitably arise:

Spies! Defections! Conflicts of faith and more.

Although building schools may still not eliminate this problem, it can at least prevent it by more than 90%.

In the meeting before falling asleep eight years ago, Levi and Iger had already set the basic tone.

Due to problems with funds and educational resources, a school for the children of Zeelandia Mining was first built.

Nine-year system! Free! Mandatory!

When Li Wei shouted these words, he felt his heart bleed.

But no matter what, in the current society, even children are still labor force.

If it were not free, I am afraid that many short-sighted parents would not let their children go to school.

During the course, Ige and the others debated for a long time before finally deciding on the plan.

They are: Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, politics, martial arts classes, basic magic and introduction to arcana, introduction to faith and music.

Before leaving, Levi almost looked up to the sky and smiled after taking a look at the final plan, and then deeply observed three seconds of silence for the next generation of Hoge Mining.

Damn it, this elementary school curriculum will probably drive the high school students in Blue Star crazy.

But according to Li Wei's current view, the expressions of those naughty children didn't seem like they were too burdened.

'Well, it seems that we can propose to Ig and the others later that devil language, devil language, and dwarf language can also be put on the agenda as foreign languages, at least for future business negotiations between dwarf language and the dwarves of Mithral Hall.

It can come in handy,' Levi thought.

After the two rats had a delicious meal of grilled fish in the commercial street, they said goodbye.

What made Levi feel a little emotional was that this Cavins rat was a noble man. Before leaving, he whispered that he should try the 'vocation' of Hogg Mining. His expression was as if he was promoting 'Amway'. Let Levi be well.

There was a moment of silence.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Caverns, who are deeply influenced by Calvin's brainwashing, this so-called 'vocation' is simply a way to become a rat upon a rat. Once successful, you can wash away your sins, become famous, and become a rat.

Cavansrats of higher value to Zeelandia.

Even if you fail, it’s just a return to heaven.

Just when Levi did not release the [psychological suggestion], he directly walked into Hoge Mining from the main entrance with a piece of grilled dried fish.

The young lady clerk at the front desk thought he was here to apply for the ‘Extreme War Rat’ transformation quota, so she stood up and handed him a form:

"Brother Mouse, you're here so late. I'm afraid you won't be able to take the physical examination today. Here is your number. Just follow the instructions on the wall and go to the third square behind the building to queue up and sign up."

"Yes, yes! Thank you!"

Levi ignored the surprised look of the Zall clerk, and took the declaration form with great interest and followed the signs on the wall to the square behind the building, where he saw the Cavins rats queuing up.

At the end of the line, you can see several areas divided into several areas. Legal personnel wearing white coats and masks are conducting various tests on them, the most important of which is drawing blood.

But from what Levi could see, a large part of the Caverns rats were directly brushed down, and then he could only put on his courier hat silently, and walked out with a bowed sigh.

And many of the Caverns rats who were waiting for testing looked at the next door with envy.

There, the Cavans rats who have been successfully transformed are also undergoing physical fitness tests and even actual combat drills.

Then Levi saw an acquaintance, Igor.

He actually came in person today.

Just as Levi was approaching, he heard Ige looking at the test data, shaking his head and muttering to himself:
Chapter completed!
