Once the simulation attempt goes wrong, you will be collectively punished by copying the training instructions ten times.

Hearing this, the expressions of the nine soldiers changed slightly. None of them knew the Chinese characters. If they were to be punished by copying a command list, wouldn't that be more painful than running around Qingyuan Town ten times?

So the nine people cheered up and listened to Gudern's words by themselves.

The first item is to resolutely implement orders and do what is forbidden. You are not allowed to act or speak without the permission of the superior officer.

The second item is, if you want to ask a question, shout 'Report', then raise your right hand to signal, and only after receiving permission from the superior officer can you tell your questions. However, you do not have the right to ask questions during the training period.

Gudern said ten basic passwords in succession, and then divided the nine soldiers into two teams, one group of simulated instructors and one group of simulated soldiers for password training.

Fortunately, the nine people had all been strengthened through awakening, and their memory was still passable. The ten password simulations passed smoothly despite the bumps and bumps.

But the recruits on the other side were not so lucky, and they immediately turned into a mess.

Helplessly, Gooden could only ask everyone to recite the instructions loudly, and at the same time do exercises such as reaching for half-squats or planks until they could remember them all.

Chapter 47 School Opening

In one afternoon, not to mention how many of the ten orders can be perfectly executed and memorized.

But at least in the first article, everyone still did a good job in resolutely executing orders and prohibitions.

However, the corresponding price paid was that the twenty recruits and nine soldiers completely remembered Gudern's terror.

As long as they make a slight mistake, what awaits them is not scolding and beating, but torture with various training techniques.

These seemingly simple movements did not feel anything at first, but as time went by, the pain all over their bodies directly occupied their consciousness.

During dinner time, Gudern specially asked the kitchen to cook a lot of meat to replenish energy for these people.

After a short rest, the evening cultural class officially began.

It is said to be a cultural class, but there is only one content, and that is literacy.

Literacy is a basic skill that Gudern requires every soldier to master.

This skill seems to have no military effect, but it is related to the overall strength of the entire army.

Gudern did not require a particularly large number of troops, but he did require elite ones.

Teachers in literacy classes are selected from those in the town who can read.

In the study room, listening to the faint reading outside the window, Gooden was thinking about the possibility of opening a school to learn writing.

The level of literacy in this era is too low, and most of the development personnel he needs need to be literate to understand and execute.

The current literate personnel are completely insufficient for his subsequent development.

It seems that the plan to open a school needs to be pushed forward.

After pondering for a moment, pull out a piece of white paper and simply write a summary on it.

For this kind of universal education, a lot of money must be invested in maintaining it at the beginning.

Gooden was not stingy at this point, and allocated fifty gold coins for the first phase of school development funds.

In addition to the necessary teacher salary, there are also subsidies and scholarships for ‘students’.

In order for them to learn words obediently, incentives for this are necessary, otherwise it will be difficult to get people to learn willingly.

Of course, in addition to these, Gooden also plans to announce a recruitment restriction order on the day the school starts.

Literacy is the rigid target that will limit future jobs, and after the opening of the third literacy class, you will have to pay for further studies.

Under such an arrangement, it can at least ensure that the first batch of graduates will have a sufficient number.

In the next two days, in addition to going out every day to inspect the construction of brick kilns and supervise military training, Gooden spent the rest of his time in his study fishing.

Since there were no modern entertainment options, the only way he could pass the time and rest was by reading.

In my mind, the books in the study were left by the previous lord, who came here to read only a few times.

Currently, he does not have the ability to travel around the world, so Gudern can only roughly understand what the world looks like from books.

At noon, after lunch, Gooden went out to the school to preside over the opening ceremony.

The enthusiasm of the residents for learning surprised Gudern. He had just released the news the day before yesterday, and the next day almost all the human cubs in the town were invited by their parents to sign up to participate.

In addition to the human cub learning class, there are also adult classes, and registration for the adult class is also very active.

When the classes were finally sorted, Gooden was a little surprised.

Since adult residents have work needs, classes are divided into three periods, namely morning class, afternoon class and evening class.

And each time period must be divided into three classes to accommodate all the applicants.

The number of people in a class ranges from thirty to forty, so nearly half of the people in the town are here to study.

Originally, Gooden thought that he would be successful if he could get a full class in one day, but he didn't expect it to be completely beyond his plan.

So after confirming the list, Gudern had to temporarily send someone to Jinyuan City to purchase a batch of paper and pens for the school to use.

The temporary address of the school is in an abandoned warehouse in Qingyuan Town. There is no time to build a ready-made school, so we can only find a temporary place.

At this moment, hundreds of people have gathered around this place. In addition to the 'students' in class, there are more people who come to watch the fun.

“Today, the first school in Qingyuan Town was established here!”

Studying is a second chance to change your destiny. In the future Qingyuan Town, I will provide you with more high-paying jobs. Those who cannot read and write are destined to be abandoned and eliminated.

I hope you can study hard, graduate from the course as soon as possible, and join the development of Qingyuan Town!

I declare that school is now officially open!

Gudern announced in an excited and high-spirited voice, and the people around him cheered and applauded.

In the lively opening, the first literacy education class in Qingyuan Town officially began.

As the lord, Gudern listened for a while and then left.

I am obviously putting pressure on teachers and students here, so I might as well go back to the castle early to arrange other work.

In the study, Gudern was sorting out his plans for the next trip.

The first batch of manganese ore brought back has been smelted into manganese steel. At the same time, the recruitment of personnel for the manganese mine has been completed. It seems that it is time to set off for the manganese mine.

Due to the accidental leakage of iron ore, the number of people originally planning to go to the manganese mine increased from 30 to 70.

Gooden planned to develop the manganese mine first, and then divide this group of people into small groups to work in the iron mine.

Thinking of this, Gudern suddenly had a headache.

The population gap for mining is huge. At the same time, the small-scale mining of two mines has taken away half of the prime-age men in the town.

Subsequent urban construction will require more personnel, and it seems that the population issue will have to be put on the table in advance.

It is definitely too late to train current students, it seems that we have to poach...

Thinking of this, Gooden began to formulate related plans.

After an unknown amount of time, a light knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Please come in.

Tilting his neck, Gudern moved his neck and said casually.

Then Eileen entered the study carrying a plate of afternoon tea. This was the time for him to take a short rest.

Since the maid Ina unlocked cooking proficiency, many small snacks can be made with her efforts.

Today's meal is some baked shortbread and a pot of local specialty tea.

Let's have something to eat together? Gudern asked, looking at the tempting refreshments on the tray.

No, young master, there is still some work to be done later.

Irene shook her head, and Gudern stopped inviting her. If the other party said there was something to do, then it really meant that there was something to arrange.

As for Irene, she would not refuse if she wanted to eat, although it was somewhat against the rules for master and servant to eat together.

But for the young master whose personality has changed, these don't seem to be problems.

While tasting the freshly baked shortbread, Gudern suddenly noticed that Irene seemed to be thinking about saying something.

Did something happen? Gudern asked softly after taking a sip of tea.

Chapter 48 Worry about the unknown

Gudern asked a question first, interrupting Irene's train of thought.

After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and nodded.

Master, during this period, I would like to take half a day off every day and go to school to learn reading and writing...

Of course, I will definitely finish all the work before then. If that doesn't work, I can reduce my salary by half this month...

Although Erin was prepared, her tone was obviously lacking.

If they weren't the only two people in the study, Gudern might not be able to hear clearly.

That's it... At this moment, Gooden suddenly realized.

Just now, he thought that something had happened to Irene's family and that he had to go back to take care of her. It turned out that he wanted to learn to read and write.

Why do you suddenly want to learn to read and write? Gudern asked curiously, and at the same time he picked up the cup he had put down and took a sip again.

Eileen was also honest. He answered whatever Gudern asked her, and also told the cause and effect.

Hmm...I heard that if you want to become a knight, reading and writing are the basics.

I used to want to go to a school set up by the empire to learn reading and writing, but my family couldn't afford the high tuition fees, so I had no choice but to give up.

Master, you are now free to study openly. I don't want to miss this opportunity...

In addition, the college also offers scholarships. I calculated that if I can get into the top ten in the weekly exams, I can get at least ten silver coins. If my salary is halved, it will actually be a little less.

At this point, Gooden realized that he seemed to have done something 'stupid'.

No wonder so many people came to participate in the school's studies. When he said he would provide free classroom study, Old Joseph and the literacy teachers looked at him in surprise.
