Unknown Knight

As everyone adapted, the winter that was once terrible in the eyes of the northern Vigians and could bring punishment from the north wind at any time did not seem so scary anymore.

But ignorance without reverence is also terrible. One day, a murder happened because a depressed man drank too much in a bar and fell drunk on the roadside on his way back to his residence. He was found frozen into an ice stick the next day.

For a time, rumors about the arrival of the North Wind God spread again, scaring everyone so much that they dared not go out. As a result, Aix had to organize the leaders to go to each settlement to dispel the rumors in order to weaken the influence of this matter.

The territory also has strict regulations that taverns cannot sell more than two glasses of wine to each person every night, and they are also responsible for sending drunk people back to their residence.

Not long after the incident of people freezing to death was settled, another fight broke out. It was caused by jealousy between two young guys. As a result, a group of Vaegirs and a group of Swadians fought over a Nord girl. For a while, the tavern was in a mess and public property was seriously damaged.

Finally, Bandak had to call in the army to suppress the incident before it was settled. As a result, Tojunayan, who had been complaining about being too lonely, welcomed more than a dozen of his cellmates.

But this incident also made Aix realize that he must find something for everyone to do during the long winter, otherwise they would be like Talboliya, "being well fed and well clothed, and causing troubles in idle time".

Finally, when the leaders were called to a meeting, Amanti directly said that they should just follow the previous strategy and let every energetic young leader learn one or two skills to rely on.

Anyway, the long winter is said to last at least five months, and it has only been less than a month, so there is still a long time, enough for everyone to learn the skills.

Moreover, Aix felt that there were too few educated people in the territory, which was not conducive to the advancement of technology. As a result, making a heated brick bed and a hydraulic forging hammer was very difficult, and Aix had to repeatedly explain some basic theories to the craftsmen.

An idea of ​​popularizing basic theoretical knowledge took shape in his mind. Anyway, he had nothing to do, and Amanti, Bandak and others were in charge of the outside affairs, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.

At home, he had nothing to do except taking care of Tsuna and Cress, and occasionally teasing Sofia.

Besides, these three women are now too idle, and they spend the whole day together, either practicing martial arts with wooden weapons, or learning cooking skills from Catherine. They have also been sexually assaulted by Tand, and they all fell in love with the knight novels circulated from Gronia. Cress and Sophia pester Tand to read knight novels to them all day long.

Instead, Aix became an outsider, spending most of his day bored and idle, which was perfect for compiling these basic courses.

After three or four days of hard work, he sorted out the two courses.

One is basic mathematics, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, record keeping, and calculation of basic geometric figures.

One is basic physics, including the three laws of force, the transfer of heat, the properties of common substances, and the basic knowledge of light.

All this knowledge is needed for current territory construction and is also suitable for current applications. Aix decided to personally become a teacher and open the door to modern science on this continent.

Soon, under the sole leadership of Aix, a basic knowledge popularization class was started, attended by the territory leaders and all craftsmen.

On a piece of carbonized wood board, he used a plaster pen to begin his first lesson in this world.

Since the lectures were all about the most basic things and the students were adults with a certain amount of experience, the response was good and they could basically understand it, especially those erudite people like Yamanti and Li Da who had accumulated a certain amount of knowledge.

This inspired Aix, who decided to promote such courses. After more than a week of training, Aix successfully completed teaching both courses.

Although many people only have a partial understanding of the training courses and cannot apply them, Aix is ​​still happy. At least it shows that people of this era have a good understanding and learning ability. The rest is just a matter of gradual practice and improvement.

He also discovered that Amanti had high attainments in physics and Li Da had high attainments in mathematics, and their understanding in some aspects had surpassed what he taught.

This also gave him an idea to please the students, and he decided to let these two be responsible for teaching physics and mathematics respectively.

A week of boring teaching has already made the lord bored. It is not as comfortable as hanging out with the beauty at home. Although it is boring, it is better than explaining elementary school courses to a bunch of rough people every day.

When he made this request to the two of them, he did not expect that they would gladly accept the job. If you think about it, it is understandable that everyone likes to be a teacher.

This was especially true for Li Dazhao, who attached great importance to being a good teacher. He even ironed his usually wrinkled clothes until they were very smooth and tidy before coming to teach.

As the saying goes, professional matters should be left to professionals, and Aix now has a deeper understanding, that is, professional matters should be left to people who want to do it.

Originally he had put a lot of effort into writing on the blackboard, even losing the dignity of a lord, using gestures and drawings, and he was so tired of talking that except for Amanti and Li Da, the rest of the audience only had a vague understanding of what he was saying, and it seemed to have little effect.

But things have been different since these two enthusiastic old gentlemen took over.

They either use tree branches as counting chips and let each student break them one by one to count on the spot; or they use mud to make cubes and balls and let each student experience the various effects of force on their own; or they even use roasted pine nuts as rewards and let those who count the right number take the prize on the spot, etc.

These seemingly simple, even funny methods are very intuitive and effective. After one week of teaching, the students have basically mastered these basic courses, except for some careless students who may need to improve the accuracy of calculations.

Aix was amazed by this, and it also gave him the confidence to popularize these basic courses.

Although people of this era are basically illiterate, it doesn’t matter. Our ancestors have already set precedents, and it is not difficult to teach a basic language and literacy course.

In fact, the official daily expressions only consist of one or two hundred words. In this cold winter that lasted for nearly half a year, Aix was confident that he could help them learn daily expressions such as up and down, left and right, you and me, him and east and west.

Besides, with these two proactive and excellent mentors, Axe felt that this would not be a problem.

Sure enough, after I communicated my idea to them, they readily accepted it and agreed with it.

Instead of letting the people who are idle during the winter develop a lot of bad habits and cause a lot of trouble, it is better to find a way to let them learn some useful knowledge and improve their personal qualities.

Especially those boys who are in the rebellious period. They feel full of energy now after having enough food and drink, but they can't run around everywhere, so they feel uncomfortable and go looking for trouble. More than half of the troubles in the territory are caused by them. Aix decided to force these people to go to school.

Soon the first Tangquan literacy class was opened, and Aix even gave the school a name, "Tangquan Winter School."

In order to increase everyone's enthusiasm, Aix also promised that anyone who successfully graduated from Tangquan Winter School would be exempted from taxes for the next year. Anyway, the amount was not much, and Aix did not expect to make a living by collecting taxes from the people.

What he didn't expect was that once something is combined with interests, you don't have to doubt people's initiative.

Originally, we only planned to recruit one or two hundred young men in their rebellious period and run two classes, but in the end, seven or eight hundred people signed up.

The remaining thousand or so were either elderly people who really did not have enough energy to learn, or women who needed to take care of children and were really indispensable, or people in the territory who still had official duties to perform, such as feeding horses, cooking, being servants of the chiefs, staff in the tavern bathroom, etc.

This was beyond Aix's imagination. All the idle people in the territory came. Given their desire to get tax revenue for free, Aix could not let them go.

Not only did he personally take part in the class, he also pulled in educated people like Gangde, Niza and Manide to give lectures.

And because of limited space and insufficient teaching staff, he opened a total of five classes and arranged a timetable for each tutor, allowing the tutors to experience what modern shift teaching is.

He was even feeling annoyed during a class when he saw the gloating expressions of two idle guys, Fati and Bandak, and suddenly an inspiration came to him and he decided to open a special class.

After integrating the special abilities of the territory leaders, special classes were soon opened. They are:

The riding class hosted by Fatis and Zhang Ping mainly teaches various knowledge about horse riding and horse breeding, as well as some basic cavalry martial arts.

The crossbow class hosted by Bandak mainly teaches the use and maintenance of the crossbow, as well as some related tactics.

Resarit's swordsmanship and formation class mainly teaches fencing skills and simple military formation combinations.

The medical nursing class hosted by Catherine mainly teaches basic medical nursing knowledge such as simple bandaging, hemostasis, first aid, and bone setting.

The archery reconnaissance class hosted by Desaiwei mainly teaches archery skills and field reconnaissance techniques.

The shield and axe skills class hosted by Nia mainly teaches shield and axe combat skills and the tactical application of shield formations.

Moreover, Aix also established a point system, which set the grades of each subject into three categories: failing, passing, and excellent. Only when the average score of all subjects reached a passing score could one enjoy the treatment of graduation, that is, exemption from taxes for one year.

As well as the elective system, which takes literature, mathematics and physics as the main subjects, and students can choose at least two of their favorite subjects from other subjects as elective subjects.

Of course, the grades of elective subjects are calculated just like the main subjects. Some people are not good at the main subjects, so they can choose more subjects that they are good at. As long as they get enough excellent grades, they can achieve the goal of graduation on average.

Aix also asked leaders who had spare time to teach to create competency files based on each student’s performance for easy future reference.
