The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Chapter 73

During the days when Maletiz stayed in the Desinian territory, he made a detailed and precise investigation of what Shazoi said-“The story of the gods is written to sell clothes and improve people’s cultural literacy”.

He often took Paul in and out of the two cities of Wess and Fort Comoy, and his thoughts were so complex that they changed almost every day.

But it is undeniable that the long skirts and other clothes sold in the rose clothing store are indeed very beautiful and novel. Even in the Saint Airo Empire, he has never seen such a style at all.

In addition to long skirts, the shop also sells hats, silk scarves, ladies shawls, stockings, shoes… and a wide range of women’s clothing and apparel.

But it does not sell men’s clothing.

For this reason, Maleditz asked Paul to go in and ask the buddies in the shop, and the answer was that he did not consider mass production of men’s clothing at the moment.

But if there is demand, it can be customized.

Paul came to understand after inquiring carefully.

Such customization is like a tailor who specializes in making clothes for nobles. The prices are divided into different grades according to the fabrics used and the patterns to be sewn.

The low price can even be enjoyed by some civilians.

The shop also specially made a style atlas for this purpose, which can be chosen by people who want to customize it, which is very convenient.

Paul: “My lord, how many days do we need to stay in Desinian territory?”

Malditz looked at him: “What?”

Paul gave a dry cough: “My lord, I, I want to order a complete set of men’s clothing. If I stay here for enough time…”

Maledez was silent, with no expression on his staid face.

Just when Paul couldn’t help feeling nervous, he heard the adult cardinal next to him speak, his voice slightly dull.

“Yes, by the way, help me customize a set too.”

Paul was pleasantly surprised: “Yes, my lord.”

He then gave Male Tizianli men’s clothing styles.

But what was said was not as comprehensive as personally, and in the end, the two went into the rose clothing store together.

After deciding on the style of clothing, Malditz and Paul went to the school near Wissas.

There are currently only two schools in the Desinian Territory, which are built in the two cities of Wessas and Fort Comoi. The schools are specifically responsible for teaching children to learn to read.

But there are not many teachers inside, and sometimes priests come to teach part-time.

They walked on a clean street, stepping on the asphalt concrete pavement. There was no mixed smell between their noses. The clean and fresh air could not help but let people take a deep breath, and they couldn’t help but relax completely.

Paul did not dare to speak out.

He feels that the environment of Wess is better than that of the Royal City of the Saint Airo Empire, and every corner of the city can give him new discoveries and surprises…

If Lord Maletez allows him, he must take the public carriage once to the foot of Parr Mountain when he returns.

The school that teaches children is called Wissas No. 1 Elementary School. Soldiers guard the school’s gate to prevent strangers from entering.

They were also intercepted by the soldiers of course and demanded to show proof.

Maleditz took out the certificate issued by Xia Zuoyi—a sentence of approval written on the pale red water-grained paper, plus the clearly printed rose and thorn family crest.

After checking the certificate, the soldier respectfully said: “Please come in, do you need someone to accompany you?”

“No, I just want to turn around.” Maletez shook his head.

The soldier stopped talking nonsense and made a sign to invite in.

It coincided with school activities, many children ran out.

They gathered in twos and threes in the open space, and some turned their heads curiously to look at Maletez and Paul, who were obviously strangers.

“Excuse me, sir…Are you the new teacher?” a little boy suddenly ran over and asked shyly.

The boy’s name is Dover.

He was dressed in cheap hessian clothes, obviously dressed as a commoner.

The other boy who walked slowly behind him was a child of a nobleman, dressed in a fine linen coat and boots.

“No, it’s not.” Maleditz said with a serious face.

Dover took a small step back, his face flushed: “Hold, sorry, sir, Bishop Grove said that there will be a new teacher coming today…I thought…”

“I’m really sorry, sir, for interrupting.”

Dover is very polite.

Under the requirements of Xia Zuoyi and the training before entering the school, the school teachers not only teach the students to learn and literate, but also teach them etiquette and behavior standards.

Dover is a commoner, and he cherishes the opportunity to come to study in school very much.

Because of his inherent weakness, Dover didn’t have much strength, and he had trouble lifting a bucket full of water. As an older brother, he was not as strong as his younger brother.

Except for some housework, the rest, including farming, can’t help the parents.

Later, the establishment of the Wessas school was completed, and the lord personally recruited students, and children of noble civilians and slaves could register within the specified time.

However, there are age restrictions, and the number of students enrolled is also controlled within a certain range. After enrollment, tuition is free, but you also need to pay for books and meals in the cafeteria.

Civilians or slaves with family difficulties can apply for subsidies, which means that the cost of books and meals will be waived by half.

But it is a pity that even after the school was established, the lord’s decision to enroll students and vigorously implement preferential policies did not bring a large number of people to the school’s registration.

This is completely different from the situation when signing up to participate in the conscription.

The first is the age gap. Enrolling in the conscription is a fourteen-year-old adult. The benefits of conscription can be seen immediately, and the school is six-year-old. What knowledge should a group of children learn?

In the eyes of most people, it is better to leave them at home to help with the work if you spend money to let your children go to class to learn literacy.

In this way, you can earn more money.

People who have this idea are mostly civilians and slaves.

With their current thinking, they don’t think about long-term plans, and living the life ahead is the most important thing.

In this era, six-year-old children can already do a lot of help, and it is completely unnecessary for them to spend money to let a child go to school.

The nobles have the money to invite private tutors for their children to teach alone. Since this can be done, why go to school…

Therefore, the initial effect of establishing a school was even worse than expected, and not many people would bring their children to the school to sign up.

School is the first step in culture.

However, it is this first step that is the most difficult to cross. The change in thinking is more difficult than the change in behavior.

Dover wants to go to school. He thinks that if becoming a learned person is useful for the future, why would Lord Lord build a school.

This must be considered by Lord Lord.

He went to study, and when he grew up, he went to take the mayor’s and officials’ examinations…

But when Dover finally plucked up the courage to explain his thoughts to his family, they first met with strong opposition.

His father thought how common people and nobles could get along in a school, he would definitely be bullied and looked down upon.

His mother was also worried about this.

What’s more, even if you only need to pay half of the books and cafeteria expenses, it will be a big burden for families like them in one month or six months. The younger brothers are still young and need his care…

Dover was initially persuaded by his family.

The registration time for the first year of the school was missed, he did not make it, and the number of enrollment in the school was pitifully small compared to the number of recruits at the time. There were many children of the right age in Mingweisas who went to school…

In the second year, Dover couldn’t help but muster the courage to bring it up.

He said in a weak voice at the time: “I am not afraid of being bullied, nor are I afraid of being looked down upon… I, I went out to inquire, the school only has five days of class, two days off, and the class time is very short.”

“I can come back early to help you and your mother work, as long as… as long as you can learn to read and learn, you will be able to make a lot of money when you go out to find a job in the future…”

The most important thing is that a friend he used to know has changed a lot because of going to school… he is envious.

Dover did not want to miss this opportunity to sign up again.

He tried his best to fight for himself.

In the second year, the original intention of the school was gradually recognized by people, and Dover’s parents finally agreed to him to go to school.

Taking into account the age of the children, there are not many courses in the school, such as literacy, basic arithmetic, etiquette, and territorial laws and regulations.

Because of Dover’s confession of the wrong person, Malditz started to talk with him and knew a lot about the school.

Just before class, Malditz saw the little boy dressed as aristocrat behind Dover holding his hand and running away, and said impatiently: “You are the most verbose. I will kick if you are late. Your ass.”

Dover gave a smirk, and the two gradually disappeared into the corner, holding hands.

Grove had been watching for a long time, then walked over and put his right hand on his chest and saluted: “Your Cardinal, Archbishop…”

He had heard of the people coming to the Holy Church.

Today I came to the school to teach regularly. I did not expect that a pastor came to him and said that the two adults first went to the church and the temple to pray for the God of Creation, and then came to the direction of the school, probably wanting to visit.

Grove: “If you two adults want to know more about this school, I can explain it for you…”

…………

When Xia Zoe met Maletez and Paul in the castle, he suddenly found that the cardinal’s attitude towards him seemed to have softened a lot.

After dinner, Xia Zoe returned to the room to rest, but suddenly heard the flapping of wings from the window, accompanied by the sound of the window being knocked one after another.

He stepped out of bed and opened the window.

The huge body of the Youth League squeezed in in an instant, and after tweeting twice, he touched Xia Zoe’s cheek affectionately.

Not to mention that Boris was far away in the Anas Empire. In the middle of the night, he was startled by the youth group who suddenly came to him, and then he saw the letter tied to the feet of the youth group.

The day is too eye-catching, so come here at night.

The letter was written by Shazoe in advance to explain the cooperation and ask Boris if he knew about the Cardinal Martitz Howard of the Holy Church.

Boris happened to know.

But it takes two days to investigate if you want the detailed information of the cardinal.

After that, Boris wrote all the information from the investigation into an envelope, and then sent it back to the Youth League.

After receiving the letter, the Youth League flew back without delay.

Xia Zuoyi followed the feathers of the Youth League: “Thank you.”

“Tweet.”

The Youth League spread its wings and enveloped Xia Zoe, and her blue-gold eyes were full of affection. After jumping twice, she stretched out her paws to let Xia Zoe take down the letter.

The letter recorded news of Maletitz, his birthplace, his preferences…

After reading it, Xia Zuoy couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows: “This Mr. Cardinal turned out to be a civilian… No wonder, he likes…”

Being able to sit on the position of the cardinal of the Holy See as a civilian…Malditz’s methods and strength are indeed good.

Malditz’s father accidentally rescued a nobleman, who in return specially allowed Malditz’s father to make a request.

And this requirement is-he hopes his son Maldez can follow the noble son to learn knowledge.

It is precisely because of this that Maltitz has the opportunity to enrich his knowledge, become a pastor, and later come into contact with different classes, and eventually serve as a cardinal in the Holy See.

Xia Zoe couldn’t help but remember that Grove sent someone to report to him about today’s affairs-Maletez and Paul went to the church and the temple first, then stayed in the rose clothing store for a while, and finally went to school.

Malditz talked to Grove for a long time at school.

Xia Zoetto thought with his chin, it seems that today’s trip to Wesas must have made Malditz a lot of emotion, otherwise the look in his eyes after returning to the castle would not be so complicated.

The Youth League stood on the edge of the window with its wings folded.

Xia Zuoyi also sat up with his arms supported. At this moment, he was leaning on the warm body of the Youth League, and raised a letter with one hand and smiled: “You know, do you know that Youth League, sometimes it’s quite a matter of grasping a person’s preferences. Yu grasped the weakness of this man.”

“It’s the easiest thing to overcome this person’s weakness.”

“Tweet.”

Youth League tilted his head.

Its green-gold eyes stared at the paper that was dangling constantly, and finally took a peck when it came closer, and a hole in the paper was broken.

Xia Zoe couldn’t help but laughed, patted it and said: “Don’t be naughty, it’s time to rest, let’s sleep, Youth League.”

He finished speaking and jumped off the window edge.

The Youth League tweeted and flew down into the house, which was combed with beautiful white feathers on a huge stand.

Xia Zoe covered the quilt and fell asleep gradually.

The room was quiet.

Early the next morning.

Xia Zoe summoned his servants to the vegetable garden to pick all the beets he had grown.

Beet is a winter vegetable, which matures only in winter, but the requirements for planting are very wide. You don’t need to pay attention to it. When planted in a greenhouse, it can survive all year round.

What’s more, beetroots are usually harvested around May, and there is no problem picking them now.

In the afternoon, all the sugar beets were picked and piled up on the open space next to the vegetable garden. There were some tools prepared in advance not far away.

Xia Zoe ordered the servants to wash the beets and put them in a basin.

Earlier, he wanted to get the technology of sugar beet sugar out as soon as possible, but was delayed by writing story books and developing the clothing market, so he had to let Renault first research and make the equipment needed for sugar beet sugar.

Everything is ready now, just waiting for the final result.

It took a lot of time to clean and shred the beets, and it was completed at noon the next day. After that, the juice extraction, cleaning, evaporation, crystallization, and drying were performed.

Among them, the most important step is to boil the clarified sugar liquid in a large pot at high temperature to make the sugar liquid boil, evaporate the excess water inside, and finally form crystals.

Wait until it dries before draining the excess water. After sieving, you will get white sugar granules.

The process of making sugar from beets lasted for eight or nine days, and even the nearby air began to fill with a sweet taste.

This feeling was blown all the way to the surroundings along the wind, and finally caught the attention of Maltitz one day.

In fact, from the first day, Malditz was very curious about what the little lord was tossing about in the vegetable garden.

However, Xia Zuoyi had already issued an order before that irrelevant people were not allowed to enter or leave the vegetable garden without permission. The meals they usually ate were picked and delivered by special servants.

Everyone above and below the castle obeyed the rules.

As guests, Maletez and Paul naturally had to respect the orders of the castle owner. Even if they were curious, they did not step into the vegetable garden. Even the vicinity of the vegetable garden seldom passed.

But this day, he inadvertently walked closer, and he smelled a sweet smell.

Although it was only a little bit, Malditz couldn’t help looking for the taste. After walking for a while, he found that he was approaching the vegetable garden unknowingly.

At this time, the sweet taste is already very obvious.

Malditz stopped, very embarrassed.

So after Xia Zoe walked out of the vegetable garden, he saw the old-fashioned Cardinal turning around in a hesitant and troubled expression.

Xia Zoe concealed the meaning of the corners of her mouth and let out a dry cough.

Maldez stopped moving instantly and his face became more serious. People who didn’t know thought he was dissatisfied with something: “My lord, what are you up to?”

Xia Zuoyi: “It’s not easy to reveal it for the time being. I can give you a gift the day after tomorrow. About the inside…”

He left half of his words and let Malditz think about it.

In the early morning of the day after tomorrow, Maltitz received a wooden box tied with a bow at the door.

He thought that this should be the gift that the little lord said, so he picked it up and turned and went into the house.

Maleditz sat on the sofa and removed the bow and opened the wooden box—a box of round, flat, irregular, and slightly yellowish things.

A piece of paper lies on it.

Maleditz picked it up and read out: “Lemon, lemon, sugar.”

Malditz’s eyebrows twitched, and his eyes widened slightly. He was silent for a while, then moved gently to twist a lemon candy into his mouth——

–“Well.”

The sour and sweet taste of lemon sugar made Malditz squint his eyes, but his eyebrows gradually unfolded, and the whole person exuded a feeling of relaxation.

Three days later, Maleditz and Paul boarded the carriage with a set of men’s clothing and a box of gifts customized at the Rose Clothing Store.

They are ready to set off to return to the Saint Airo Empire.

Before leaving, Maldez said to Xia Zoe with a complex expression: “If “The Story of the Gods 3″ is written, please send someone to the Holy Church to send a copy…”

“Finally, thank you for your generosity.”

Paul remembered that valuable box of sweets, so he could not help but took off his hat and bowed his head to greet him, and euphemistically expressed that he also wanted a story book.

Xia Zoe smiled with her eyebrows bent and said, “Definitely, I wish you and the archbishop a smooth journey.”
