Chapter 115 Interlude: Mathematics Competition + Return

"May the goddess of light bless your life journey, no more darkness and confusion."

The old pope gently placed the scepter on the shoulder of Alicia who was kneeling on one knee.

How to say it, it was quite ceremonial.

The girl walked to the stage in the sun, bathed in the light, she pressed on the commandments and the code, and the hymn accompanied their steps.

It was not a pledge of allegiance, but more like a wish-making session for children.

Underage children can make their wishes to the goddess of light when they become adults, and she will protect your dreams.

Alicia did not accept the Pope's coronation after all, and the old pope did not ask her again. Both sides tacitly postponed the question.

She was awarded the position of senior priest.

Her eyes quietly fell on the audience seats.

The sharp intuition trained by Ji Lin in the army immediately judged that she was looking at herself, applauded with others, and nodded to her to express praise.

Then Alicia turned her head slightly away and looked elsewhere.

Mathematics competition

Although Xu Shan's efforts raised his popularity and he spent a lot of money, the number of people on the scene was not large.

A group of people sitting and doing arithmetic is really not very entertaining. It is not as exciting as fighting, and most people can't even understand the questions.

Mathematics is something that you can't do if you don't know it.

In order to increase the activity and attract more children, the dean launched a speed calculation activity for everyone to distribute various small gifts.

Because with the current bleak number of people, even the gifts can't be distributed.

After adding a speed calculation project, the number of people increased tenfold and a hundredfold. Xu Shan looked at the enthusiastic and passionate people in the holy city. This surging enthusiasm from the heart even made him feel a little excited.

The project that was originally used to recruit outstanding students with complex and difficult problems was instead robbed of the limelight by the temporary speed calculation project. The old dealer even paid for the bonus for that project out of his own pocket.

The dean will definitely not pay.

"Okay, today is the final, please welcome a few masters of speed calculation..."

The old dealer changed into a sexy suit, and even Xu Shan, who was standing next to him, looked like a passerby.

They made a math competition seem like a fighting competition.

But the old dealer really enjoyed this event.

When the time comes, he will give his lord a little suggestion, and similar projects can be held in the territory in the future.

The speed calculation project hosted by the old dealer was crowded with people, and he was invigilating...really invigilating.

But he must not tell him that he spent at least 10,000 gold, otherwise Xu Shan would be afraid that his lord would bleed.

He exceeded all the goals given to him by the lord, and I believe he won't care.

I just don't know how many of these children are willing to go. After all, the money for the church college is considered high for civilian families, and the project of reducing tuition fees is very tempting for them.

After all, they can't afford to go to the church college.

Of course, the dean is not doing charity, so only talented children are recruited. However, for some children who are slightly talented but not from wealthy families, Xu Shan is also considering student loans, but this policy issue must be confirmed by Ji Lin.

From the perspective of the school environment.

They are all boarding schools, and there is not much difference between studying in Tran and studying in the territory.

As for safety, Xu Shan has a safety certificate issued by the Church of Life.

This recruitment model may continue to be used and retained. Xu Shan tapped the table and chair in front of him, and the students who were supervised by him were more attentive to the questions in front of them under this serious invigilator.

————————

Return.

"Lord, some students' family conditions are not very good..."

Xu Shan stood beside him and asked.

"We can provide them with student loans, no problem."

Ji Lin looked at Xu Shan's question, thought deeply for a while, and answered.

Student loans can better bind these students to their own territory and let them help the territory work. The resources he brought back from the exercise battlefield allowed him to spend a lot of money for a short time.

Get more excellent seeds from the Holy City!

Xu Shan handed Ji Lin his already prepared schedule, summarizing what he had done and the details of the use of funds.

"Very impressive."

Ji Lin exclaimed sincerely.

But when he thought about the extra transportation cost of 1 gold for each additional non-hero unit depending on the volume... Ji Lin felt a little painful, but he would not save the money he should spend.

Xu Shan recruited 100 students for the territory, and these students would not set off with Ji Lin. They had to prepare their own luggage and say goodbye to their families. After everything was ready, Xu Shan would lead them to the territory to start their college life in a month.

Alicia's guardian, the old bishop, also agreed that the children could go to his territory to study, but he needed some time to deal with the affairs of the orphanage, including notifying other priests to deal with it after it was abandoned.

Ji Lin proposed that he could pay him to move the entire orphanage, the former church, there, but it was church property, so it was rejected.

In the end, the only thing that could be taken away was a statue of the goddess, and a place with a statue of the goddess was considered a church.

In terms of labor.

Four hundred and thirty-one fishermen, more than he expected.

So many that Ji Lin needed to consider rebuilding a special residential area on the seashore for these fishermen to use.

One hundred blacksmiths and fifty tailors, a total of fifty cooks and carpenters, all of whom will become important technical personnel in the territory. With this group of skilled workers, the territory can start to transform from the most basic primary industry of simply producing raw materials to the secondary industry of producing processed products.

The territory can finally use iron tools and wear warm clothes with confidence.

Four thousand two hundred and thirty-one people, the next population of the territory.

He purchased some of the most common wine yeast. Alcohol is a very important strategic resource. It can be used for disinfection and entertainment for people's livelihood, and as fuel, mental sedatives and anesthetics for military use. The one thousand acres of sugarcane he planted before is also in harvest season.

Sugarcane is rich in sugar. The famous rum is a kind of wine brewed by fermentation and distillation based on the sugar juice squeezed from sugarcane.

Ji Lin stroked the paper in front of him.

This time he went back to start preparing for the autumn harvest. This is the first autumn harvest since the establishment of the territory. Most of the territory's food sources come from the summer harvest and autumn harvest. The harvest of these two rounds will determine the quality of the next six months.

At present, the territory has 3,900 mu of various crops, including 1,000 mu of rice and wheat, 600 mu of cotton fields, 300 mu of ginger fields, and 1,000 mu of sugarcane plantations.

After the autumn harvest, winter comes.

He doesn't know if the temperature in the territory will drop. He hopes not. If the temperature drops too much, he can't continue to sow, and there will be one less round of winter planting.

The prosperous city tour is over, and he returns his eyes to his own one-third acre of land.

Ji Lin touched the bag that Alicia gave him before leaving, opened it, and a light-colored book revealed a square corner.

A parting gift.

A book of commandments.

Her idea of ​​leaving with Ji Lin was vetoed by the Pope. The Pope looked at him like a bastard who wanted to kidnap an ignorant girl, and asked her to consider leaving Tran only after completing four years of school.

At least the Pope did not stop him from taking Alicia to play for a week at the Holy Day Celebration.

Ji Lin touched his face, which was still a little warm.
