Chapter 215 Comprehensive Literacy Campaign!
"Work hard, and let us know if you have any problems adapting."
"No, thank you, Lord City Lord! My job is very easy."
As the maid spoke, she glanced at the slime, who was squatting calmly on the stove.
Upon arriving at the city lord's mansion, I learned that I had to clean the enormous mansion every day.
Actually, Xiao Zhu was under a lot of pressure.
Until, when Lord Xinglan was cleaning the ingredients, Xiao Zhu was about to help clean up the trash when she saw the slime extend a long tentacle and the pile of trash disappear.
At that moment, Xiao Zhuo suddenly felt worried that he might lose his job.
Fortunately, I had studied cooking for a few days before.
Now that I've received praise from the city lord, I've finally secured my job.
After finishing his meal, Xiao Yu returned to the studio to test his newly made charcoal pencil.
After numerous tests, the charcoal pencil has been successfully manufactured.
Wrapped in animal hide, it was about the thickness of a finger and 15cm long, and the writing was very smooth.
Moreover, he has already produced hundreds of them in batches.
On the table, there was a thick stack of rough paper, all cut to A4 size.
These are the lowest-cost types of paper recently produced by the paper mill.
With the current efficiency of paper mills and the availability of raw materials, hundreds of sheets can be produced every day.
"Tonight, we must finish compiling the most basic learning materials, then make a movable type printing block and print a batch. That way... we can start literacy classes tomorrow."
Thinking about what Honglian and Xinglan and the other girls had done for him during this time, Xiao Yu felt a little guilty.
He made a decision in his heart: even if he didn't sleep tonight, he would finish writing it.
Anyway, with his strength, not sleeping for ten days or half a month would have no effect on him at all.
"First, there are pictographs: mountain, water, fire, earth, metal..."
"Secondly, there are basic Chinese characters: person, mouth, hand, eye, nose..."
"Also included are common words like 'father,' 'mother,' 'sun,' and names of yourself, your family, and friends..."
Xiao Yu quickly searched his mind for how kindergartens and primary schools were taught in his previous life.
Soon, the paper in front of him was covered with dense text.
Starting with the simplest pictographs, progressing to basic Chinese characters, and then to common vocabulary...
time flies.
Honglian did not come to see Xiao Yu tonight.
Because... she was also extremely busy.
By one or two o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yu had written over a thousand Chinese characters.
After numerous revisions, the first version of the literacy textbook was finally finalized.
"Phew~" After carefully examining the teaching materials he had compiled, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a happy smile appearing on his lips.
He felt that he was now somewhat like a teacher of human enlightenment.
To help the ignorant and backward human race escape from base desires.
"Alright, now we need to print these textbooks... The first step in movable type printing is to carve these characters... and then print them with ink..." Xiao Yu recalled the process of movable type printing in his mind.
Then, he picked up a stone slab that had been compressed by the power of the earth.
On this stone slab, which is 30 centimeters long and wide and 3 centimeters thick, he began to carve with a swift stroke of the knife.
"Um...it looks a bit ugly!"
Seeing the crooked characters he had carved, Xiao Yu shook his head with amusement.
My carving skills are a bit lacking.
The carved characters are a bit ugly; I'll have to practice them more later.
By the way...carve some stone sculptures for the city lord's mansion.
After all, the houses in Longcheng are all square and angular now, which is still too ugly.
It wasn't that Xiao Yu didn't want to make it more exquisite, but he couldn't just create it out of thin air by controlling the power of the earth.
First, he himself must have the ability to do things.
Because when he uses the power of the earth, the power of the earth is like his hand.
Every house and every corner was sculpted by him, bit by bit.
In other words, his carving skills improved.
With just a thought, one can directly condense clay into a statue.
"However, this will have to be done gradually..."
Xiao Yu gave a wry smile. Hong Lian was very busy every day, and he wasn't much better off.
The main problem is that in this apocalypse, everything is lacking, and nothing is available.
Make him miss the wonderful life he had in his previous life.
Thirsty? Get an iced drink. Hungry? Get a hamburger.
Eat whatever you want, play whatever you want.
"Sigh, let's take it one step at a time... there's no rushing it..."
……
The following morning, a new notice was posted on the inner city bulletin board.
The content is that after get off work this afternoon, I will be teaching literacy in the school building next to the city lord's mansion.
The teaching building was temporarily built by Xiao Yu last night and is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people studying at the same time.
The working hours of the various factories and workshops in Dragon City are similar to those on Earth in my previous life.
It's roughly from sunrise (8 am) to sunset (6 pm).
There is a two-hour lunch break and rest period at noon, and the evening is everyone's rest time.
The glowing area of the glowing tree only lasts for half an hour.
But half an hour later, the glowing tree was still shining, enough to illuminate a two-hundred-meter radius around the city lord's mansion.
Xiao Yu wanted to make use of the evenings, having everyone spend two hours each day learning to read.
"What? You want us to learn to read? Isn't that killing us? We definitely can't learn it."
Upon learning the contents of the new poster, many people felt completely overwhelmed.
Especially those warriors like Chenlong and Tienan.
They're all roughnecks who only know how to fight; how could they possibly learn that stuff?
“Yes! This thing recognizes me, but I don’t recognize it!” The women shook their heads repeatedly.
"You have to learn it even if you can't!"
Just as everyone showed their reluctance, a reprimanding voice rang out.
Xiaoyu stared coldly at everyone, "Just because there are too few literate people, Deputy City Lord Honglian is busy to the point of exhaustion every day, yet you are still thinking about slacking off. Don't you have any conscience? Moreover... the City Lord's announcement also said that the salary of literate people will increase by 50%!"
Those who remain illiterate within three months will have their salaries reduced by 50%!
"what?"
These words struck everyone like a thunderbolt.
That's right, Xiao Yu's literacy policy was mandatory.
They won't reason with you at all!
My city, my rules!
After all... Xiaoyu is right.
The reason Honglian is so busy every day is because there are too few literate people in Longcheng.
In the vast city of Dragon City, only a few people, including Xiaoyu and Yingzi, could help her.
If these people don't grow, Xiao Yu won't keep indulging them.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyu, we will definitely work hard to learn to read!" a group of soldiers immediately assured them.
Normally, these people would dare to joke around with Chenlong and Tienan, and call them brothers.
However, when faced with Xiaoyu, everyone trembled with fear.
There's no way around it; anyone who dares to anger Sister Xiaoyu is offending Chenlong.
The next day, Chenlong would train them relentlessly, torturing them to the point of wishing they were dead.
Because... in Chenlong's heart, the status of his wife and children is second only to that of the city lord!
Anyone who dares to offend his wife is asking for death!
"Yes! We must learn it! We can't let Deputy City Lord Honglian work so hard anymore!" The women nodded repeatedly.
Are you kidding me? You think learning to read will increase your salary by 50%, while not learning will deduct 50%?
Only a fool wouldn't learn good things, right? You have to learn them even if it kills you!
