Chapter 512 (1/2)
Donne is very cunning.
If the enrollment notice is distributed separately, few people will pay attention, so he places the distribution point of the enrollment notice at the place where he receives the grain seeds. When each farmer comes here to receive the grain seeds, he will forcibly distribute an enrollment notice.
So in just one or two days, the enrollment news of Ellington college spread all over Ellington.
But
”What? School?”
The staff with a gentle smile came home and suddenly informed him of such a thing. Suddenly Ross was at a loss. His son, little Ross, was just six years old this year and was able to help with some work. His pressure was finally reduced. At this time, the LORD sent someone to ask his son to work on the 15th of the month of recovery, Go to class 2, grade 1, Ellington College
Ross was dazed: ”what does school mean? Can you eat?”
Jim can't laugh or cry, but he knows that many people must encounter the same problems as himself at the moment, so he explained patiently: ”you can't eat at school. You can learn to read and count in the future, and you can keep accounts in the future.”
”No, no, there are literacy tutorials in the newspaper now. I have collected a complete set of literacy tutorials.”
Ross shook his head and said, ”besides, spring planting has just begun. My family is busy. What school should I go to? He has to help me farm.”
Jim sighed. Sure enough, as the LORD said, he had to say, ”do you want your son to plant the field all his life like you?”
”What can I do if I don't want to?”
Ross said with a smile, ”we are the tenant farmers of the Lord. It's natural to farm for the Lord, and the Lord is much better than the previous Lord. It's my honor to farm for him.”
”But are you willing to let your son live like you all his life? Don't you want him to be the factory director in the factory? A reporter in the newspaper? A member of Datang chamber of Commerce? A researcher in the research institute? Or even... Lord?”
”Lord, Lord!?”
Rose's breath suddenly rushed up. He blushed, waved his hand and muttered, ”what are you talking about? We are tenant farmers. How can we become aristocrats like Lord?”
Jim smiled and began to seduce Ross: ”it was impossible before, but now it is possible. The LORD said that as long as you complete the school courses and pass the examination and review, you can get the status of Lord of honor. Think about it. What a great honor!”
Ross looked down at his son with a runny nose and dirty body. Does such a son become the kind of Lord dressed brightly for high-class occasions? Is it possible? He can also be favored by noble ladies and live a comfortable and superior life? Don't you have to face the Loess and back to the sky like yourself?
Is that possible?
Seeing that Ross didn't seem to have made up his mind, Jim decided to make a big move. He coughed and said: ”According to the new territorial law promulgated by the Lord, school-age children's schooling is the obligation and right of the Ellington people. If they do not go to school, the corresponding families will cancel the tax reduction policy, increase the penalties such as mine service, and will not receive other benefits in the future. There are even more serious penalties, such as paying education compensation.”
There's a punishment for not going to school!?
Ross opened his mouth and looked at his son, his eyes full of struggle.
After the big stick was hit, the sweet dates came next. Jim smiled and said: ”Maybe you think literacy and mathematics are useless, but I also want to tell you that in Ellington college, there are not only these two courses, but also many other courses. After firmly mastering Chinese and mathematics, the school arranges the introduction of basic magic and combat skills, and the teachers are scholars from the elves.”
”Think about it, the scholars of the elf family will teach the introduction to magic and combat! Which country and territory of the whole human kingdom can have such treatment? Only US Ellington! The LORD said that if students are found to have magic talent or combat talent, he will reward alchemy potions to help students awaken their talent and become apocalypses!”
”Even if you don't want him to become a scholar and an apocalypse in the future, the opportunity to become an apocalypse is very rare. Do you delay his future and let him miss such an important opportunity just because you want to be lazy and let your son work for yourself?”
”Besides, do you need his help in farming? It's not necessary at all! This spring's planting, the Lord will send a large number of magic tillers to help cultivate. You can easily complete the farming work by paying a small amount of silver coins. Then you just need to fertilize and water. How easy? Why delay his future?”
Although the big cakes painted by Donne before are wonderful, it is obviously more attractive for people in prandal to become an apocalypse. Listening to Jim, Ross, who has been hesitant, finally hardened his heart and said, ”OK! I promised! Let him go to school!”
Jim breathed a sigh of relief: ”well, you won't regret your choice today. Please sign your name on this document.”
”I, I don't know how to write yet...”
Ross has a red face. Although he has learned to read in accordance with the tutorials in Datang daily, he is still not very good at writing, and he feels embarrassed after signing his name on the document.
In the future, at least my son will write beautiful words, right? Even if you can't become an apocalypse, it's a great thing to enter the Lord's house or other noble families and become a clerk
Bonnie's.
”Please think about it for your daughter. Going to school is absolutely good, not bad.”
”But, but... Nicole, you...”
”Dad, I want to go to school!”
Nicole said loudly, ”I heard from Elia yesterday. She said there would be a lot of children in school, and there would be a lot of interesting things and good stories. I'm going to school!”
”But dad goes to work during the day and needs you at home...”
