Age of Empires From Scratch

Chapter 245: Winter Education Program

  Chapter 245 Winter Education Plan

  David was a little embarrassed, and vaguely seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by murlocs in Menethil Harbor back then.

  However, his face is much thicker now than in the past, and he looked calm as if nothing had happened. He went straight to the black leather and picked it up.

  He couldn't see what this thing was. It didn't seem to be some kind of equipment, but more like a 'raw material'.

   "It seems that this is the biggest difference from the original game."

  The dropped things did not follow the settings in the game. This piece of black leather was full of energy fluctuations, and it vaguely revealed a hellish atmosphere similar to Andariel.

  At the same time, David couldn't 'see' what attributes this thing had, but he was sure that it should be a very rare and good thing.

   "Is this the first 'attributed' item we've seen?"

  David took these people and almost cleared the first map. All the equipment dropped was ordinary equipment. The only magic equipment was enchanted by Chaxi with a hammer.

   "What's the use of this thing?" Several people came over to look at it, Helen looked up and down, this thing looks like a piece of leather, but the quality is good: "Maybe it can be used to make clothes or shoes?"

   "Well, it's a good suggestion. Let Gwen decide what to make!"

  David handed the leather to Gwen. This thing is considered to be made by Gwen, and everyone will have no objection if it is distributed to Gwen.

"Leave me alone?" Gwen didn't think she killed Andariel by herself. Without the help of David and Laura, she would still be in the first few mission areas, trying to brush monsters and improve herself. !

  In this case, letting her enjoy the spoils alone made her feel a little embarrassed.

   "Put it away! Anyway, we will often come to the dungeon recently, and there should be a lot of good things in the future." As for this piece of leather, maybe it can be made into some equipment for Gwen to use first.

  Hearing what David said, Gwen was not polite, and began to think about what this piece of leather could be made of?

  Leather armor? Vest? jacket? leather boots? Or...a leather jacket? Leather pants? Leather skirt?

  Gwen can think about it slowly. After killing Andariel and finishing the first map, David did not take a few people to Lugaoin, but left the dungeon with a few people.

  They are brushing dungeons for exercise, not really saving the world.

  Therefore, there is no need to rush forward to the next map. After fighting for a period of time, rookies like Gwen, Eva, and Helen need to take a period of rest.

   "Take a good rest! The next time you want to clear the dungeon, it will be at least a few days later."

   In the past few days, it was also for a few people to digest the improved strength, and David came out to see if there was anything he missed.

   So, after a few days of rest, David took the girls into the dungeon again, led them to quickly complete the plot, and used the opportunity of cleaning up the demons to let the girls exercise.

  Helen and Eva are still improving their strength steadily, while Gwen's progress is very obvious.

  In addition to being proficient in using firearms and other weapons, Gwen also learned how to use short knives, daggers, one-handed swords and other weapons to fight, and even showed some talent in unarmed combat.

   As long as you continue to fight like this, after David clears the normal difficulty, these people should all have good strength, at least self-protection should be enough.

  At this time, even without the **** of David and Laura, the few of them have enough strength to go to the dungeon by themselves.

  As long as they go back and clear their personal quests again, their strength can be improved a bit, and it will not be difficult to clear the normal difficulty with their own strength.

  After things were on the right track, David began to focus on other things.

  For example, the education issue that I thought of at the beginning.

  Rinwinter Town has absorbed a large number of people from Snowfield Fort, and will get more people from Iron Tree Fort. In this round of harvest, the population of Rinwinter Town has doubled.

   It is not clear how effective the forced population relocation of the Kingdom of Tilan will be, but David feels that after this series of operations, it should not be out of reach for the population of Cold Winter Town to exceed 10,000.

  The population has increased, the infrastructure has been built, and the military strength has steadily increased. It is time for him to consider more things.

  How to solve the problem of education, David thought for a while but still couldn't find a reliable solution. In the end, he could only call everyone to a meeting and discuss it together.

   "Education!" Tony was making the first test model of the new rifle, and he was annoyed at being called by David, but he swallowed his dissatisfaction when he heard that it was such an important matter.

Everyone arrived today. Not only was Steve present, but even Leon happened to be in Cold Winter Town. Hearing David's question, the elite agent was speechless: He can't come up with anything reliable about this kind of thing. good advice.

"Perhaps, there is no need to pursue an overly detailed education system at the beginning." Everyone was silent for a long time, but it was Casillas, the Master Karma Taj who came to study in Rinwinter Town, who broke the silence: "I think Rin What Wintertown is currently pursuing is not to cultivate any top intellectuals, but to eliminate illiteracy..."

   "You're right, you really shouldn't set your goals too high at once."

Originally, the illiteracy rate of residents in Cold Winter Town was not high. That was because the majority of residents in Cold Winter Town were craftsmen from Azeroth. These craftsmen themselves had some 'cultural knowledge' and came to Cold Winter Town Later, in order to live in this world, he had to learn the common language of Brennia, which was regarded as being forced to popularize a culture class.

  However, with the influx of more and more local civilians, the illiteracy rate has skyrocketed, and only a few people can read, not too many.

   "Then the next question, how does the teacher need to solve this problem?"

   "..."

A group of people looked at me and I looked at you. Edwin Van Cleef saw that no one had any suggestions, so he said: "After the adults distributed houses and land to the craftsmen, some craftsmen are relatively free. They can be a teacher."

  Too complex knowledge cannot be taught, but simple literacy is not a problem.

   Moreover, these well-learned craftsmen are all senior craftsmen, and they themselves know how to teach others.

   "This should be enough."

  The discussion is still going on, and after half a day of discussion, a rough plan is made: taking advantage of the winter slack period, Rinwinter Town will provide compulsory education for all the citizens in the territory.

  This education is divided into two parts: The first is that in the territory of Lindong Town, all young people over the age of seven and under the age of 18 must enter the school to study.

   This is mandatory and it is not allowed to deny children admission!

   During the school study period, the school will provide students with sufficient clothing and food, which can be regarded as relieving the pressure on the parents in the territory to raise their children.

  Currently, it is tentatively scheduled to be a six-year study, and at the same time, only basic liberal arts, basic mathematics, and physical education are currently determined.

Among them, the basic literature class includes the common language of Brennia, history, ideology and morality, etc. It should not be difficult to gather knowledge points that can be learned for six years; the physical education class is more like basic military training. There are a group of Holy Light priests stationed in the school.

   As for whether to add new courses in the future, it should be decided according to the situation.

David’s goal is that graduates who have completed six years of compulsory education must be able to speak, read, and write proficiently in the common language of Brennia, be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide normally, and physically be able to reach the level of the Knights of Winter. Criteria for recruiting recruits.

  Considering the current situation in the territory, after the opening of this basic college, all young people of the right age will be recruited into the school, and then divided into classes according to age groups—no grading is needed for the time being, everyone is in the first grade.

  In the future, the size of each grade is estimated to be only one class. If no students are recruited in a certain year or only one or two are recruited, then we will decide what to do according to the situation.

  The second part is released for adults in the territory. Rinwinter Town will set up a literacy class for all civilians in the territory. Anyone who is a citizen of Rinwinter Town can sign up for it.

   This literacy course also does not charge money, including textbooks and other basic supplies, which are distributed directly after registration. Compared with elementary school students, they only lack benefits such as food supply.

  The literacy class will arrange several time slots to start classes, so that people can choose the right time to study.

  The curriculum is the same as the elementary school curriculum, and the requirements are similar.

  The graduation method is relatively flexible. As long as you complete the course and complete the corresponding assessment test with sufficient scores, you can obtain a graduation certificate.

"What if no one signs up?" Gareth has been silent today. It seems that there is no room for him to speak in the education work. Can you still drive it?

"Even if no one signs up, this class will continue until the day when there are no more illiterates in Cold Winter Town." David thinks that the literacy class may become an adult night school, a cram school, etc. agency.

   What if civilians don’t want to learn? Then sooner or later, they will be eliminated by their own children or other people's children, taking away the resources that originally belonged to them.

As a lord, although David has to be 'responsible' for all the subjects, he will certainly not 'take care' too much of those who are stagnant, but will pay more attention and more high-quality Resources should be invested in those who are more worthy of investment, because these people will bring him more returns.

   This kind of differential treatment must exist!

   "That's roughly the case, let's implement it like this! As for the person in charge..." David found that he had to appoint an education officer, otherwise there would be no one who is really responsible for so many things, and troubles would easily occur.

  Looking at the people present, David looked back and forth for a long time, but he didn't find anyone who was suitable to be in charge of the education work in Cold Winter Town. In the end, he could only throw the burden on his trusted old hunter Adis.

   "Adis is the education officer of Cold Winter Town."
