Chapter 234 (1/2)

Many times, as long as you understand the key point of something, the rest falls into place.

Sui Xiong was feeling so then.

He completely understood what the problem of his school was, and had also found a solution.

His mistake was that he brought over all his experience from Earth, building a school that was based purely on cultural education. Such a school would of course efficiently produce “intellectuals.” But it could only produce “intellectuals.”

One needed to know that on Earth, it was not enough to learn only cultural knowledge. In order to make a mark in society, a person needed to receive follow-up education. Regardless of learning specialized skills, or professional knowledge. In short, one needed to possess professional skills in order to settle down and become someone who could support themselves.

But in his school, there were no subjects teaching professional skills. So of course, all the students were a bunch of scholars.

This was just like times in ancient China when there was a long period of time where they had selected talents through article writing. It even became as bad as people being abled-bodied but not being able to differentiate between the five grains. As a result, most of the selected officers were not reliable. Lots of peculiar things happened. Even he, as a person who was not interested in history, knew that much. And the key to that problem? The lack of professional knowledge!

Try to imagine if ancient Chinese imperial examinations had the requirement for professional skills and knowledge on top of cultural knowledge. Every selected talent would have to have additional skills in agricultural, industrial, mathematics etc, besides reading and writing articles. What would happen then?

Sui Xiong was not sure, but he had seen those historical traversing novels. Many great authors were also doing that. There must be a reason to it.

Yup. If there was only one person who wrote it, that could be nonsense; but everyone wrote the same, so it must be reasonable!

Furthermore, as long as a person had professional knowledge, it would be much easier for him to find a job in society. Just like the few clones he made before. Even if he was only good at cooking, he was enough to be a good enough chef. It was enough to let him be a skilled person who had a place in the world.

Yeah! Let’s do this!

He was fully motivated, thinking which skill school to begin first.

Excavator? Impossible!

Computer? Nonsense!

Chef? This is not bad, but a little troublesome to teach. Anyway, I’ll just keep it as an alternative.

Accounting? This is great! This is it!

The businesses in this world are quite well developed. There must be a substantial demand for accountants, especially high-level accountants. Whether it is a store or a noble family, or even a slightly larger group of traveling businessmen, they will need an accountant!

In fact, any organization that has a money operation would need an accountant! Accountants are irreplaceable and an important career in modern society.

Not only that, but education in accounting was relatively easy. A teacher could teach many students, and they would not need specialized teaching materials. They were almost completely dealing with numbers. The school right now could meet the needs; there was no need to alter anything.

Once he thought about it, he could not help but laugh out loud.

“What exactly is that ‘skilled school’?” Yorgaardman felt very curious as he watched him laughing proudly. Then he quietly thought hard for half a day, and suddenly laughed out loud again.

“The details are pretty complicated. To put it simply, it is a place to teach humans crafts,” Sui Xiong said. “My initial plan is to build an accounting school.”

“Accounting? Counting ledgers?” Yorgaardman was stunned for a while. “Is there such a need to train them? Back then I did not even know a word, and I could still do well in society…”

“No, it is necessary!” Javier’s eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly. “This is a great idea! If you train accountants in large batches, there will surely be a demand amongst the nobles and businessmen! By that time, I am afraid that there will be nobles and lordlings contacting and recruiting outstanding students even before they graduate!”

“Is this completely exaggerated?” Morani spoke doubtfully. “I remember back when I was still in the Orc army, I had not seen any accountants…”

“That was because you had none! Orcs are just a bunch of cultureless barbarians!” Javier said impolitely. “If the requirement allows, there should be an accountant in every department, every independently stationed army; even down to every 100-person team, every village. All should have an accountant!”

He was excited for a while. Slowly he calmed down, but then suddenly remembered something.

“Oh yeah. I guess the accounting job is related to God of Wealth, so you’d better speak to Her first.”

Sui Xiong nodded and immediately sent a clone to the God of Wealth’s Holy Kingdom.

The God of Wealth’s Holy Kingdom was named “The River of Gold.” It was built in the emptiness of the Material Realm, far away within the Ring of the World. It was at the border between Material Realm and Spiritual Realm. There were steep mountains everywhere and a golden river that ran through it. The mountains represented the difficulties in obtaining wealth, and the golden river represented wealth itself. The holy temple for the God of Wealth was suspended in the air high above the golden river, overlooking the believers who were trekking through the fields of mountains, or laughing in the golden river.

Due the reviving of Garth City and relief work from before, the relationship between the Void Mask Church and the Golden Royal Crown (or God of Wealth) Church was quite good. Hence, when Sui Xiong visited, he was well received by the God of Wealth. She even brought her oracles along and welcomed Sui Xiong’s arrival from outside of the Holy Kingdom.
