The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Chapter 42

Since Xia Zoe told the pastors “to start receiving training”, the pastors’ time has been fully arranged, and the heavy learning tasks have begun.

Grove Joe felt like he was in a state of dire straits.

Being a pastor in the church of Kays, spreading theology to the world every day is not so tiring…

The mission that Xia Zuoyi conveyed is-the priests must first collect all the laws of each country, including the two empires, and collect them.

Not only should they check for omissions and fill in the vacancies and improve the laws in the Territory of Desinia, but they also require them to read and recite them. Later, there will be related legal inspections and random checks.

The legal regulations are organized and the time limit is seven days.

before this.

Xia Zuoyi handed the newly made paper to Grove and other pastors: “You need to write the summarized laws on water-grained paper, and remember to complete it within the specified time.”

Grove took the paper with some doubts: “Water-grained paper?”

He just saw that the paper in the lord’s hand was beautifully moist white.

After receiving it, I took a closer look and discovered that this paper is different from parchment and papyrus in terms of the touch and feel of the fingertips, the texture, and the toughness.

The paper in his hand seems to be a new and unprecedented style.

“Lord, this, this is…” Grove asked in a daze.

Xia Zuoyi: “This is a newly researched paper, named water-grained paper, which is cheaper than parchment and has a simpler production process.”

“Water-grained paper is more flexible than papyrus, and will not be easily broken and damaged when turned over…”

“In the future, the water-grained paper will be fully promoted within the territory and sold to other countries through the Thorns Chamber of Commerce.”

“Water-grained paper” is the name of ancient paper, and it was also known as “calendered paper” in ancient China.

This kind of paper is strongly covered by a curtain surface or a wooden mold to squeeze moisture, and finally gets its name because of the obvious lines or patterns on the finished product.

What Xia Zuoyi chooses to make paper is a wooden mold to remove the pulp, then press it with a wooden board, and place heavy stones.

As a result, a rougher texture will be formed on the paper, and it will have a rusty texture to the touch, which is not too smooth and delicate.

After all, it is the first time that he has studied papermaking, and his experience is not that rich. There will definitely be more room for improvement in the future.

Grove suddenly remembered the boiler that had been burning in the castle courtyard during this period. It turned out to be…

In turn, he immediately thought that once this new type of paper was promoted and sold, it would bring great benefits to the Desinian lord.

This new type of paper, called water-grained paper, will undoubtedly be more popular and popular than parchment and papyrus.

Seeing the priests standing on the spot in a daze, Xia Zoe couldn’t help but knocked on the table top, and the dull sound made them come back to their senses.

Xia Zoe: “Are there any questions?”

Grove and the pastors immediately shook their heads: “No, no more.”

Xia Zoe: “In that case, go back and prepare.”

“Yes, Lord Lord.”

Grove and the pastors began to get busy.

After they finally handed over the compiled laws and regulations to the lord, they were immediately asked to recite them again.

Xia Zoe is only given three days, after which he will be tested and spot-checked by the butler of Judit.

Also, those who fail to recite will be punished.

Therefore, the pastors such as Grove almost took a more solemn attitude than praying to the God of Creation. Even when they were sleeping, their dreams were full of laws and regulations.

During these three days, they had a feeling of nervousness, anxiety and anxiety…

Some people even didn’t do any heavy work, but felt a little tired, and the closer they were to the spot check, the more they couldn’t remember the content.

Three days later, Udit began to test the priests one by one.

Xia Zoe was watching inside the house.

He watched as a pastor was sweating profusely, then his hands trembled, his eyes lost, and he was speechless. Then, he rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.

Xia Zoe: “…”

Pre-test syndrome?

This pastor’s mental quality is not very good…

Udit was obviously also a little surprised at the sudden situation in front of him, and turned to ask: “Lord…what should I do?”

Xia Zuoyi: “…carry the person out first, and let Adai take a look for him.”

“Yes.”

Fortunately, there was only one case in this situation, and almost all the staff passed the test afterwards.

The pastor who fainted awoke and cried, waiting for the Lord’s punishment in fear.

He must be over…After all, he didn’t even say a complete sentence.

Grove’s complex expression brought him the “punishment” of Lord Lord.

The pastor was crying and desperate: “Grove, just tell me, I can stand it.”

Grove: “Ah… Lord Lord asked you to do a hundred squats and a hundred push-ups. If you don’t finish it, you will have no food.”

“After you’re done, you will continue to recite it. I will do a spot check.”

The pastor’s nose and tears were still hanging on his face, and he raised his head in disbelief when he heard the words: “Just, this is it…?”

“Ok.”

The pastor cried again, this time weeping with joy.

Thank you Lord Lord!

However, the pastor was too early to be happy.

Recitation of laws and regulations is only the first step in the training. Then, heavy homework and learning tasks are waiting for them.

…

Grove and other pastors: It’s Jixi’s feeling, and I can’t even smile anymore.

The hairline on the top of the head gradually moves back jg.

They need to train and learn in a wide range and comprehensive knowledge coverage, to the point that they can make people have nightmares.

As a result, two months later, when the news and conditions for the selection of the mayor to participate in the examination came out and spread widely, the pastors such as Grove finally understood what the lord had to entrust them to do.

One is to compile test materials.

The second is to organize the examination question bank.

They are the invigilators who will supervise the exam and give the final result.

On the Western Continent, books, etc. are manually copied or engraved on wood or copper plates. The cost is very high. The nobles who can own books in the manor also represent wealth.

In order to improve the efficiency of writing textbooks, Xia Zuoyi can print them for circulation, so he called Reynolds to study how to improve wood engraving and copper engraving.

The difference between engraving technology and movable type printing is whether it can be disassembled, moved or changed.

Improvement is an opportunity.

Pastors such as Grove have gone from surprise to admiration now.

They were fortunate enough to witness the revolution in paper and printing.

They also have no doubt that the emergence and advent of these two things will definitely usher in an earth-shaking and unbelievable development in the Desinian Territory.

But the most important and most troublesome thing right now is-how do they come up with a tearful test paper?

The priests touched their heads that had almost lost their hair, and looked down at the still blank paper with a “crazy” smile.

It should be time for those taking the test to feel the horror of baldness.

After all, they were “tortured” by the little lord and almost reached the devil’s arms directly.

Since Nat was determined to stay with Lord Lord.

He didn’t leave with his father Marco Keys when he returned to Kays, but instead bought a place to live in Wissas.

Naturally, the place Nat bought was no better than his original home in Kaesne.

At first, I really didn’t adapt very much, and I almost couldn’t stand it and walked away. Later, after thinking about the little lord and the words released to Fernandi, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

Territory of Desinia.

The news of the selection of the mayor and other officials has been publicized in various cities through the Thorns Chamber of Commerce half a month ago.

Not only that, but the Chamber of Commerce also started selling two cheaper books.

A book dedicated to explaining the specific arrangements and precautions during the exam.

The book also contains the scope of study required for the examination for the selection of the mayor, and the study content for comparison of officials who should be selected for different positions.

For example, the examination is actually divided into public subjects and professional subjects.

There are not only written examinations, but also interviews. The examiner who finally decides on the candidates for the mayor and officials is the Lord Lord.

The scope of learning covered includes new laws and regulations in the territory, speech understanding and expression, mathematical calculations, logical analysis, etc.

Many people couldn’t help but retreat after reading it.

—No, if you fail the exam, give up.

But more people also bought the book.

The second book is relatively heavy. Turning to the first page, the top of the book reads-“Elaborate and concise knowledge of official selection.”

There is also a note below-“It needs to be thoroughly read and understood”.

This is the question bank for the corresponding exam that Sha Zoe asked the priests to prepare.

The time is relatively short, and there is no time to make more arrangements, so I will put all the topics in a book for the time being.

The priests will ask questions based on the content inside, or some more difficult questions will be added.

Nat bought back both books.

If he didn’t understand something, he cheekily went to Fernandi or Walker to ask clearly.

Going back and forth, even Xia Zoe knew about it.

Udit: “It seems that Master Nat really wants to stay by your side, otherwise he won’t work so hard.”

Xia Zuoyi leaned against the snow group and said with a face: “Did he say anything to take the test? Want to be mayor or another official position?”

Udit couldn’t help laughing: “Master Nat said that he will take every exam to see which exam can pass.”

“But he clearly said that he didn’t want to be mayor, he just wanted to stay in Wissas.”

Xia Zuoy thought for a while, and couldn’t help recalling Nat’s dumb eloquence, and said, “I can give him a suggestion.”

“Nat is more suitable for the position of diplomat, but there are still many deficiencies in knowledge.”

“You let Nat mainly learn languages ​​that are not common on the Western Continent. For example, in the small kingdom of Hurghada, the accent is not the same as ours.”

“Also, let him learn as much as possible and be familiar with the customs and habits, geography, and city names of some other countries.”

Yudi said: “I will send someone to tell Master Nat.”

Xia Zoe bent his eyebrows: “I hope he won’t be scared back to Kays by me.”
