Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World
Chapter 87 Political and Economic Advisor
Ladi once again came to the classroom of Weiss College. She had fallen in love with it recently.
A few days ago, she and her adventure group companions followed Paul and Queller back to Lake Town from Port Fulan, and accidentally discovered that a school had opened here.
Although it is named "Weiss College", it is actually a two-story building with a courtyard surrounded by a brick wall. It looks very simple in every aspect.
During the day, the place is filled with children of all sizes from Huxin Town and nearby villages. Teachers are responsible for teaching them how to read. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the children go back to their homes.
But after dinner, the place will become lively again, and the adult residents of the town will gather here one after another to be taught Chinese characters by teachers on the night shift.
According to the teachers, this is called "literacy night school."
The teachers include young monks from nearby monasteries, as well as people who come from the royal capital to the northwest to make a living. The lord's academic requirement for them is just to be able to read.
She was very surprised that the local lord could build such a school for common people and even serfs.
Even in the South, only civilians in big cities have the opportunity to receive education, and it is also a huge test for the family's financial resources.
Knowledge has a price, and Ladi's ability to become a scholar is inseparable from her wealthy family background.
She loved spending time with her children. These innocent little angels made her temporarily forget all the worries in her life.
During class, she sat in the classroom with the little angels and listened carefully. After class, she and the little angels played games happily in the yard.
Over the next few days, the children all got to know this beautiful big sister who wore a tall hat and had green hair.
Ladi felt that she had smiled more in the past few days than in the previous month combined.
The hat she wore made it easy to identify the scholar. After several teachers in the college learned that she was a scholar from the south, they enthusiastically invited her to tell the students about the south in class. Customs and customs.
She readily agreed. After a few classes, even Dean Morrison knew that there was a scholar among his students and came over to listen several times.
The curiosity for knowledge emerging from the children's big eyes and the sense of satisfaction after hearing new knowledge gave La Di great spiritual joy.
Morrison had a suggestion that struck a chord with her:
"Can Miss Ladi stay with us as a teacher? For a scholar like you, I think Mr. Grayman will definitely provide you with a generous salary."
What touched her heartstrings was not the "generous treatment", but the conversation she had with the lord the last time she came to Lake Town.
Especially when the churches in the south are getting more and more crazy, if you go back and you are suspected, you will not only bring trouble to yourself, but also to your family and friends.
Maybe staying here is a good option?
…
A few days later.
"Ladi, why? Are we treating you badly?" Meru asked loudly.
Just now, this partner found her as the group leader and proposed an idea that shocked her: quitting the Leachman Adventure Group.
The other person lowered his head and said apologetically: "I think the environment in the Northwest Bay is very suitable for me, and I want to live here for a while."
Of course, this sounds just like rhetoric, but the real reason is obvious as soon as you think about it: because of the identity she has always hidden.
I know this partner too well, he is too kind, and he is too considerate of others.
Meru hugged the girl tightly and said in her ear: "I said, we will protect you no matter what."
There were tears in my partner's eyes, and he said with a tearful tone: "Thank you for taking care of me all the time, and thank you for not abandoning me after knowing my secret."
"I'm happy being around you. But...but..."
Meru shook his head: "No but, we will never abandon you, we will always take care of you, we are happy to do so."
"No! Meru..." Ladi stared at the leader, "We can't continue. Promise me, Meru. This is good for both of us."
After knowing each other for so many years, Meru could immediately see the firm determination in his companion's eyes.
"But if you are left here alone, will your situation get worse? How can you reassure us?"
La Di comforted her: "The lord here is an enlightened man. I have 'tested' him. You know I have a 'method'."
"Furthermore, I have talked with teachers who came from monasteries, and the church members here generally tend to be sensible and not as crazy as their southern counterparts."
"Anyway, it's relatively safe if I stay here."
Meru knew that he could no longer persuade his companion, so he could only nodded.
She hugged Ladi again and said, "Take good care of yourself, you will always be our family."
Ladi said very gratefully: "Thank you."
Her tears could no longer be stopped and flowed down her pretty face.
Meru touched her face, wiped away the tears for this companion who had been with her day and night, and said pityingly: "How can I thank you! What a silly girl."
…
La Di sat nervously in the reception room of the Lord's Mansion, wondering what would be asked in this so-called "interview".
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!
After a while, two people walked in, one was Manager Ford whom she knew, and the other looked gentle and seemed to be someone close to the lord.
She stood up first and said hello to old Ford: "Hello, Director Ford."
Old Ford smiled and motioned for her to sit down.
The two sat down opposite her, and the other person introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, Miss Ladi, I am Bernard Francis, secretary of Earl Grayman. When we welcomed the Foster Chamber of Commerce, we met Meet."
She responded: "Hello, Mr. Francis."
Manager Ford went directly to the topic: "Miss Ladi, we saw your self-introduction as a scholar from the Southern Messianic Independent Territory, but aren't you a member of the Leachman Adventure Group?"
La Di nodded: "Yes, I joined the adventure group as a scholar, so I can travel around to improve my knowledge."
Manager Ford nodded, and the adventure group traveled around. The people inside were all very skilled, and they could indeed get a high degree of safety inside.
"So in what areas does your knowledge focus?"
“The knowledge I have learned mainly focuses on history and natural history.”
“Can we ask you a few questions about both of these?”
"Of course, Mr. Steward."
The test was administered by Bernard, who had accumulated a lot of knowledge while copying books in the library.
After half an hour passed, he told Director Ford that, at least in his opinion, the green-haired girl in front of him was a genuine history and naturalist.
Manager Ford thought about it and said, "Since you came with the Foster Chamber of Commerce, you must already know that we will establish trade ties with the Corner Bay Alliance in the near future, and our exchanges with them will become more and more frequent in the future."
"It is not just a country in the Horned Bay Alliance, future exchanges will expand to the entire south. Therefore, the Lord's Office and the Government Council urgently need an advisor who is familiar with the politics and economy of the southern countries. Are you willing to take on this position?"
La Di hesitated for a moment and said, "But my intention is to teach at Weiss College. I wrote that in my self-introduction."
Old Ford shook his head and said: "Have you ever seen our academy? At the current stage, it only teaches literacy. If a history and naturalist is placed there, the Lord of Light will send down lightning to punish us. Okay. Steel should be used on the blade.”
He looked at La Di and said, "Of course, if you really like it there, you can give voluntary lessons to the children in your free time. It's all in the same town anyway."
"Okay, I accept your arrangement." Ladi agreed, let's settle down first.
"Welcome, Miss Ladi. You can come to work in the Lord's Mansion tomorrow."
Old Ford was very happy. When he was negotiating with Director Christopher of the Foster Chamber of Commerce these days, he was still worried about not understanding the economic situation in the south. The arrival of this scholar lady was really timely.
