In the days of rebirth as a lord

Among them, the one who counted the best was the elderly Han man named Yuan Yi.Cecil inspected it, and the other party can even make a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage problem!This level of mathematics can definitely surpass the vast majority of people in the world, at least the original body who received the prince's education from a young age can't figure out the chicken and rabbit in the same cage problem.

"In addition to guarding against Bruce's deceiving me, you also need to carefully look at how the other party does business. See who Bruce is dealing with, and who you can talk to, so that the other party treats you I have an impression." Before leaving, Cecil called the five people over and gave them instructions.

Anyone who is a little smarter can guess Cecil's purpose. His Highness is planning to form his own caravan!

The knight among the five is nothing more than that, his existence is mainly to embolden the other four and support the scene.But the other four are different. Being in charge of the business in His Highness's territory is much more dignified than being an ordinary slave or manservant!

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely complete the task you entrusted!"

After the caravan left, Cecil sighed again: "There are too few people who can read and count! Education must be promoted quickly! Conrad, help me find literate people within the territory, regardless of men, women, young or old, or civilians Slave, as long as you can read and write! If you can’t find it, go to a nearby town to look for it.”

As soon as the news got out, people in the whole Aote village talked about it.

"A person who can read? Oh! Not a gentleman or a nobleman, who can read? Is there anyone else in our village who is a master or a gentleman?"

"Who said no!"

The former agricultural officer Pickel, who was dismissed before, was really literate, but he didn't dare to say it!After all, he lied in front of His Highness that he was illiterate, so he couldn't show the annual crop income and expenditure records.

From the outside, Pickle's house looks like an ordinary thatched cottage, but it is taller, wider and stronger than other houses.It's different in the house. Other people's house can have a room that is airtight and rain-proof enough for a family to live in. His house has actually divided into three rooms!

At mealtime, Pickle's wife served up a pan of fine batter, so thick that the spoon could hardly be stirred.The flour was the fine flour that makes white bread, which the Pickles used to eat.It was only after Cecil arrived that they were afraid that Cecil's people would smell the smell of baking bread, so they ate it every day.

"It's muddy again! Dad, can't we all eat bread in the future?" Pickle's youngest son said dissatisfied.

Pickle's wife criticized the younger son: "It's rare to have such a sticky food! The knights in the castle don't often eat white bread. Most of the time they eat black bread. White bread, but Only the nobles can eat it as a staple food."

Having said that, the Pickle family felt a strange sense of superiority.Look, their family eats like aristocrats, and they have been eating like this for many years!

Pickle's eldest son said worriedly: "Father, will we not be able to live the good life before? Are we going to keep eating secretly like this?"

Pickle said cursingly: "No, Your Highness, he doesn't understand people's sentiments at all. Literate talents are so precious, how can they be found casually. Just wait, I won't be replaced so easily, Joseph's family An idiot can't handle the responsibility of the agricultural officer, His Highness will find me to take on the important task sooner or later!"

Seeing that the head of the family is so confident, the family is also slightly relieved.

Besides, even if His Highness never waited to see him, what if something unexpected happened, what if His Highness died of an illness like the previous lord?By then, wouldn't this Aote Village be his domain again?Pickle thought viciously while drinking.

On the side of the shack where the slaves lived, a disheveled female slave, who seemed to be around 50 or [-] years old at first glance, didn't talk like everyone else after hearing the news from the castle. Instead, she was silent all night and went to castle.

The knight guarding that day stopped the female slave: "What are you doing! This is not where you should come!"

The female slave stopped and said to the guard, "I heard that His Highness is looking for someone who can read?"

"That's true. Do you know anyone in the village who can read?"

The female slave nodded: "Yes."

"Who can read?" asked the knights.

"It's me," said the slave girl.

"You?" The knights didn't believe it, "How do you prove that you can read and write?"

Facing the knight's question, the female slave didn't panic, she knelt down and picked up a small stone, and wrote a few characters on the ground.

She wrote "Knight" and "Glory", and knights, even if they are illiterate, at least know these characters, because they hear and see these characters so often.

Just because they knew each other, the knights were even more surprised that this dirty slave girl could read and write!

After hearing the report from the knights, Cecil was also surprised, and immediately summoned the female slave.

"Your Highness." The slave girl saluted Cecil respectfully.

As a serf, how dirty is his body?The female slave just bowed, and a layer of dust fell from her clothes and hair, and fell on the stone floor of the castle, which was clearly visible.

Cecil couldn't help having goose bumps on his body. He had no doubt that when the slave girl's hair was pulled away, dense lice could be seen running.

Fortunately, the other party stood far away from him!

"I heard you can read? How much?" Cecil asked.

The female slave replied: "I can read the "Bright Divine Code" thoroughly."

"The Divine Canon of Light" is a tome that specifically records the sacred deeds of the God of Light, boasting how great the Church of Light is.You must know that today's books are all written on sheepskin with a quill pen, and copying the tome of "The Holy Code of Light" needs to consume the sheepskins of twenty sheep!

If you can read this book, you will be fine.

"What's your name?" Cecil asked the slave girl.

"Your Highness, my name is Nora." The female slave Nora replied.

"Okay, Nora, from now on, you will be the housekeeper of the castle. During the day, you will assist the housekeeper Conrad in managing some trivial matters in the castle, and at night, you will teach others how to read... Let's use the temporary church on the mountainside for the classroom. Anyone who is willing to listen can go, and unless the other party disturbs the order of the class, you can't drive the other party away... In addition, inform everyone in the village that the one who learns the best every day will be rewarded with a handful of beans. characters, a bowl of beans will be rewarded! Of course, you will be rewarded if you teach others successfully, as long as one more person can read ordinary books independently, you will be rewarded with a silver coin, what do you think?"
