When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

#472 - St. Frick's Palace Primary School

As the bell-ringer struck the bell representing noon, the laborers on several construction sites in the town put down their hammers and axes and walked towards the shade of the trees and grass sheds, arm in arm.

Unlike the past rural life, time on Autumn's Dusk Island is strictly and clearly divided.

For most farmers, they only have three time points: morning, noon, and evening.

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset is not just empty words.

The monks of the monastery must strictly abide by the chanting times for daily morning prayer, midday prayer, evening prayer, and bedtime prayer.

Anyway, they just don't feel comfortable if they don't pray.

Clear adherence to time was a unique benefit for monks in the old days, but in the Holy Salvation Papal State, a country of monks, everyone enjoys the treatment of a monk.

Although they are all monks, sitting in the study writing documents and hammering stones under the hot sun are both contributions to the Holy Father, there is no difference.

What time to start work, what time to eat, and what time to leave work are all prompted by the temporary bell-ringer of the town hall.

After all, with clear time, there will be clear working hours, fair wage payments, and efficient work patterns and productivity.

The rapid progress of the Salvation Army's civil engineering projects is largely related to Hohen's precise time efficiency from later generations.

Today is Saturday, and normally it is possible to rest.

However, because all construction sites are paid daily, in order to complete the main construction before the rainy season, everyone works hard in light rain, works a little in heavy rain, and works day and night in sunny weather.

You must know that many projects are outsourced by Witt to the local beastman king, who brings a large number of his people to work, and delaying it by one day is a considerable expense.

Therefore, next to Frick Elementary School, Hohen can still see beastmen with their tail and ear hair shaved short, hiding in the shadow of the eaves, frantically making potato root bread, and then falling asleep.

"In the future, a labor department must be established under the Court of Truth," Hohen muttered to himself, "The current number of people is not large, so it is easy to manage. When the territory is larger in the future, I may become an evil dragon."

"Your Majesty?"

"It's nothing." Hohen looked up, looked at the Frick Elementary School sign in front of him, and stepped towards it.

In two days, the Kush noble youths of Golden River Township and the newly enrolled middle school students will arrive, so Hohen is preparing to go to Frick High School to see the situation.

Passing by Frick Elementary School, Hohen thought that since he was here, he might as well take a look at the elementary school as well.

The elementary school in front of him does not cover a large area, and is basically two or three-story wooden houses, a total of five, with a three-story main teaching building in the middle, and two-story wooden buildings on both sides.

In front of the house, there is a patch of wasteland surrounded by a man-high fence, with a sand pit dug next to it and a few wooden parallel bars for sports equipment.

Walking among the brick and tile ruins and weeds, Hohen thought he had arrived at a rural elementary school in the mountains.

However, unlike the sparsely populated rural elementary school, this place can accommodate more than 500 local children aged 8-10.

Because when they are older, their parents will force them to work together.

Currently, Frick Elementary School only teaches two subjects, language and mathematics, provides free lunch, and the teaching time is about three years.

Anyway, try to ensure that after leaving school, these children can independently read notices and calculate taxes and fees payable, so that they are less deceived by petty officials.

Of course, it is said that only language and mathematics are taught, but there are still many hidden subjects.

For example, from time to time, someone will take them to the wasteland to practice military posture, or take them to learn chorus.

In language, some theological and historical knowledge will also be taught, and in mathematics, some knowledge related to nature will also be taught.

"Where do the teachers here come from?" Hohen asked Raphael, who was beside him.

Since Raphael has been on Autumn's Dusk Island for a long time, he is a genuine old Autumn's Dusk Islander and is very familiar with this: "Most of those who teach language are old nuns, and those who teach mathematics are mostly wizards or alchemists."

"Are the textbooks based on the teaching plan outline I wrote?"

"Yes, Her Majesty Silov has compiled your outline into textbooks for two grades, and will adjust the third grade based on feedback."

"Silov again?" Hohen was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that although Witt is the mayor of the town, he is only responsible for construction.

Most of the specific affairs, including culture and education, politics, law, security, and even scientific research, are handled by Silov alone.

No wonder those elders are so obedient, they have found the feeling of being managed by Hohen back then.

Walking into a classroom, Hohen looked at the cramped room and the fluorite embedded in the walls, and reached out to stroke the burr-covered desk: "Bring me a textbook to see."

Taking the literacy textbook in his hand, Hohen could see on the first page "Under the leadership of the great sun, our fellow believer Hohen... created the Galar alphabet!"

Feeling his face burning, Hohen quickly turned a page, which was several pages of huge Galar letters.

The so-called Galar alphabet is the Fran alphabet that Hohen simplified during the bloody and sweaty march, and then handed it over to the captured monks and priests to continue to improve.

The latest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

Hohen asked them to reduce the number of letters and the length of words as much as possible, and to match the pronunciation and letters as much as possible.

To sum up, all multi-stroke letters were changed to within two strokes, and soft and hard homophones were merged into one letter.

If using English as an analogy, for example, a "c" sound is divided into soft and hard, soft "c" is pronounced as "s", and hard "c" is pronounced as "k".

In the Fran alphabet simplified by Hohen, "ice" and "clean" are changed to "ise" and "klean", and then the existence of c is eliminated.

The rest is to eliminate the stubborn diseases caused by a large number of ancient El and local languages mixing and leading to unreasonable evolution.

It is basically a transformation from Middle English to Modern English, but more radical.

Mathematics is the most basic elementary school mathematics, from the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, to the commutative and associative laws, to decimal multiplication and division, and to calculating area and some simple logic.

"What about the usual night classes and Sunday school? Will they buy textbooks themselves?" Hohen asked while flipping through the literacy textbook.

The so-called night classes and Sunday school are adult literacy education.

Every night, craftsmen, soldiers, and free civilians will go to Frick Elementary School or the nearby Bihu Church to learn literacy.

However, the enthusiasm is not high, and many people just treat this activity as a pastime.

Often the teacher is lecturing on the stage, and a group of people are talking and chatting about gossip below.

If Witt hadn't strictly prohibited bringing food and drinks into the venue, they would have treated the night class as a party.

Raphael shook his head helplessly: "Of course they won't buy it. Those with a better attitude will buy some paper and pens, and those with a general attitude will draw on the ground with a tree branch."

"Doesn't the night class teacher care?"

"Their teachers are all noble prisoners from several wars, including some butlers and merchants. The students below may be the ones who captured them in the first place, how dare they care."

"Okay." Putting down the textbook, Hohen stood up, "Let's go inspect Frick Middle School and then go back."
