Chapter 115 Interlude: Mathematics Competition + Return
"May the goddess of light protect your journey, and there will be no more darkness and confusion."
The old pope gently placed his scepter on the shoulder of Alicia, who was kneeling on one knee.
How should I put it? It’s quite a ritual.
The girl walked in front of the stage in the sunshine. Bathed in the light, she pressed the code of commandments, and hymns were played along with their steps.
It's not a pledge of allegiance, it's more like a wish-making session for the children.
Children who are not yet minors can make their wishes to the goddess of light when they reach adulthood, and she will protect your dreams.
After all, Alicia did not accept the Pope's coronation, and the old Pope did not ask her again. Both parties tacitly postponed the issue.
She was awarded the position of senior priest.
Her eyes quietly fell on the audience seat.
Ji Lin's keen intuition honed during his military career immediately determined that she was looking at him, so he clapped with others and nodded gently at her to express his praise.
Then Alicia turned her head slightly and looked away.

Mathematics competition.
Although Xu Shan's efforts have increased his popularity and he has given away a lot of money, the number of people present was not large.
A group of people sitting around doing arithmetic is really not interesting to watch. It's not as exciting a performance as fighting, and most people can't even understand the questions.
If you can't do something like mathematics, you can't do it.
In order to increase activity and attract more children, the principal of the college launched a quick calculation activity for everyone to distribute various small gifts.
Because with the current dismal number of people, we can’t even give out all the gifts.
After one more quick calculation project, the number of people increased sharply. Xu Shan looked at the enthusiastic and passionate people of the Holy City. This kind of surging enthusiasm was not even 놛.
The project that originally used complex problems to recruit outstanding students was overshadowed by this temporary quick calculation project. The old dealer even used his own money to pay bonuses to the project.
Dean 놆 will definitely not pay for it.
"Okay, then for today's finals, let's invite some speed calculation masters..."
The old croupier changed into a sultry suit, which made even Xu Shan beside him look like a passerby.
A math competition was made as if 놆 was hosting some kind of fighting competition.
But the veteran croupier is definitely enjoying the event.
누 I would like to make some suggestions with my lord, and similar projects can be held in the territory in the future.
The quick calculation project hosted by the old dealer was crowded with people. The exams were being proctored here... I was actually proctoring the exams.
But he must not tell him that he spent at least 10,000 gold, otherwise Xu Shan would be afraid that his lord would spit out his blood.
All the goals set by the lord have been exceeded, so I believe he won't care.
I don’t know how many of these children are willing to go. After all, the money for a missionary college is very high for ordinary families, and the tuition fee reduction program is very tempting to them.
After all, we can't afford a church college.
Of course, the dean of the college is not a philanthropic person, so he only recruits children with high endowments, but for some children with low endowments and whose families are not wealthy, Xu Shan is also considering student loans, but this kind of policy issue must be Confirmed by Ji Lin.
From the perspective of school environment.
There is not much difference between studying in the metropolitan boarding school and studying in the territory.
As for safety, there is a safety certificate issued by Xushan 놋눃 Church.
This recruitment model may continue to be used. Xu Shan tapped the desk and chair in front of him. The students who were being proctored in the audience were all more diligent in dealing with the questions in front of them under this serious proctor.
————————
Return trip.
"Lord, the family conditions of some students are not very good..."
Xu Shan stood next to 놛 and asked.
"We can provide student loans for them, no problem."
Ji Lin looked at Xu Shan's question, thought about it for a while, and then answered.
Student loans can better tie these students to their own territory, allowing them to help the territory work. The resources brought back from the exercise battlefield allow them to spend a lot of money for a short period of time.
Gather more outstanding seeds from the Holy City!
Xu Shan handed the plan he had prepared to Ji Lin, summarizing what he had done and the details of the use of funds.
"It's awesome."
Ji Lin praised sincerely.
But when I think about it, every additional non-heroic unit carried will cost an extra 1 gold for transportation depending on the size... Ji Lin feels a little pained, but the money he has to pay will not be saved.
Xu Shan recruits a number of famous scholars for the territory, but these scholars will not set off with Ji Lin. We need to prepare our luggage and say goodbye to our families. After everything is ready, one month later, Xu Shan will lead us to the territory to start our college career.
Alicia's guardian, the old bishop, also agreed that the children should go to school in 놛's territory, but 놛 needed some time to deal with the affairs of the orphanage, including the need to notify the priest of 놛 after it was abandoned.
Ji Lin proposed to pay for the entire orphanage and the former church to be moved there, but this was church property, so it was rejected.
In the end, the only thing allowed to be taken away was a statue of the goddess, and the place where the statue of the god was placed was considered a church.
On the labor front.
Four 땡three굛one fisherman, which is a bit more than 놛expected.
Dojilin needs to consider rebuilding a special residential area on the seaside for the use of these fishermen.
One blacksmith and five tailors, a total of five chefs and carpenters, will become important technical personnel in the territory. With this group of technical workers, the territory can transform from the most basic primary industry of simply producing raw materials to the secondary industry of producing processed products.
The territory can finally use iron tools and wear warm clothes.
Four thousand two hundred and thirty-one people, the next population of the territory.
Some of the most common wine yeasts were purchased. Alcohol is a very important strategic resource. It can be used for disinfection and entertainment by the people, and as fuel, mental sedatives and anesthetics by the military. The one thousand acres of sugarcane planted before are also in the harvest season.
Sugarcane is rich in sugar. The famous rum is a kind of wine brewed by fermentation and distillation based on the sugar juice squeezed from sugarcane.
Ji Lin stroked the paper in front of him.
This time, we will start preparing for the autumn harvest. This is the first autumn harvest since the establishment of the territory. Most of the territory's food sources come from the summer harvest and autumn harvest. These two rounds of harvest will determine the quality of the crops in the next six months.
At present, the territory has a planting area of 3,000 mu of various crops, 1,000 mu of rice and wheat, 6 mu of cotton fields, 3 mu of ginger fields, and 1,000 mu of sugarcane plantations.
After the autumn harvest, winter will come.
I don't know if the temperature in the territory will drop. I hope not. If the temperature drops too much, I won't continue to sow, and there will be one less round of winter planting.
The prosperous city tour is over, and I will look back at my own one-third acre of land.
Ji Lin touched the bag that Alicia gave him before leaving, opened it, and a light-colored book showed a square corner.
A parting gift.
A book of precepts and laws.
Her idea of leaving with Ji Lin was rejected by the Pope, who looked at her like a bastard who wanted to kidnap an ignorant girl and asked her to consider leaving Teran only after completing four years of study.
At least the Pope did not stop her from taking Alicia to play in the Holy Festival for a week.
Ji Lin touched his face, which was still a little warm.
