In the conference room of the Kingdom of the Wild Gods - the only building in the Kingdom of the Wild Gods - Sui Xiong and his god friends sat around and discussed issues related to education.
"It takes three years for a batch of intellectuals to be formed. Brother, your church is really fast at cultivating talents!" The God of Justice praised, "It is worthy of having a god called a 'great educator' sitting in charge!"
Wall, the God of Knowledge, immediately blushed and said with shame that he had done nothing. His Majesty compiled the textbooks, established the academic system, selected the teachers, and built the teaching buildings...
"Then what are you, the God of Knowledge, doing?" the outspoken God of Justice asked curiously.
Wall was crestfallen: "Actually, I am responsible for being the principal in the school and presiding over the daily work..."
"That's why we call him 'educator'." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "I'm only responsible for coming up with ideas, and some preliminary preparations, and he does all the later work. Don't support his nonsense, it seems It seems like he has no credit at all. In fact, the reason why the school has such good results and the reason why it can successfully train such a large number of students is all due to him!"
The gods couldn't help but smile when they heard this. There have been many cases where the two gods shirk responsibility from each other, and there have been many cases where the main god accepted all the results safely. However, both sides emphasized that the credit was mainly the other's and that they had only done trivial things. A little bit, this situation is rare.
"The atmosphere in your church is so good!" Weyer couldn't help but praise, "Working in such an atmosphere, everyone must be very enthusiastic and full of confidence. That's why we have achieved such results!"
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
"Let's get down to business... Everyone thinks, how should I arrange for the students who will graduate one after another in the future?" He asked, "It will definitely not work to let them go back to farming or working. It will seriously damage their enthusiasm and make them long-term. My expectations were disappointed. But if I were to arrange paperwork and other tasks for them, I couldn’t find so much paperwork for them to do... "
"This is indeed a problem!" Morani nodded and said thoughtfully, "How about this, how about you recruit a group of students among our believers? To be honest, our churches are quite short of such intellectuals. Can you If you help us cultivate a group, it will be a big help!"
Sui Xiong naturally patted his chest and agreed, but the problem was still not resolved.
Whether it is from the Savage God or the God of Joy, their churches are not large in size and can only digest a group of students at best. If the educational level of the headquarters school of Masked Void Church is not lowered, there will soon be a surplus of talents as students graduate one after another.
As a responsible person, Sui Xiong felt that since he had provided education to those people and allowed them to spend three years studying off-the-job, he should allow them to get jobs worthy of these three years of study after they have successfully studied. Three years wasted in vain.
"To be honest, I am not very optimistic about this kind of education." Joel Gardman thought for a while and said, "Your education is too high-end. Ordinary civilians must fully master the reading and writing of common language, as well as commonly used Addition and subtraction calculations... are really a bit redundant. In comparison, your two subordinates did a good job. As civilians, they know about a hundred words, can write their own names, read announcements, and do some simple things. Arithmetic is enough."
“Wouldn’t it be nice to be more literate?”
"It's not that it's not good, it's just that it's not necessary." Joel Gardman said, "Take me for example. When I was still a mortal, I didn't even get my name from the team until I became an adventurer. I learned how to write it from a pastor..."
"I'm about the same," Morani said. "When I joined the army, I just stamped my hand with ink. I remember that in our team at that time, the captain was the only one who could write his own name..."
"Damn it, your education level is so tragic!" Sui Xiong muttered and looked at Weiye, "I remember you were born as a prince, you must be much better than them, right?"
"You can't use me as a reference. I and the people I'm familiar with are all nobles." Weyer said with a smile, "Even my guards are the younger ones in the noble families and are unlikely to inherit the family business. . They also received good education since childhood, and many of them can even write poetry."
Joel Gardman rolled his eyes, picked up the wine bottle provided by Mo next to him, and poured a glass of wine for Morani: "Cheers to the illiterate rude people~"
Wei Ye laughed loudly and poured himself a glass: "Whether you are literate or not has nothing to do with drinking."
Sui Xiong frowned for a while and asked, "So... after all, the level of education here is too high?"
"Yes, only nobles need to learn so much." Weyer put down the empty wine glass and said with a smile, "Do you plan to train them all into nobles? Then you have to prepare a lot of territory."
Sui Xiong sighed, where did he conjure up so many territories
"Your Majesty, I think what you did is right!" Wall immediately supported his boss, "What's wrong with reading and literacy? Even if you don't have a suitable job for the time being, at least when there is an opportunity in the future, you will be able to seize it more easily than others. What an opportunity!”
"I remember your Majesty, didn't you say, 'Every drop of sweat will not be in vain'? The time and energy they put in to study will not be in vain!"
Sui Xiong nodded slightly, but he was a little worried.
This is true, but if suitable jobs cannot be provided for intellectuals, then the meaning of promoting education will be lost...
The most fundamental reason why he wants to promote education is to improve the wisdom and insight of people in this world. As the saying goes, "knowledge changes life, knowledge changes destiny". Only by enriching people's minds can they pursue progress more actively, and also Only then can we push the world to develop in a good direction.
He didn't tell anyone about these ideas because he felt it was better to make results first.
But now it seems that it is really not easy to achieve results!
At this time, "Silent Warrior" Mo, who had been drinking silently, suddenly suggested: "Why not change it into a fighting school? Educate people in fighting skills and basic writing and arithmetic, so that they can grow into good adventurers. .”
Sui Xiong was stunned and thought carefully.
As Mo said, the reason why school graduates cannot find suitable jobs is because they are just pure scholars. As the saying goes, "A scholar is useless if he is useless." How useful can just reading and being literate be
But if you combine reading and literacy with martial arts, you can become a relatively high-quality adventurer. These high-quality adventurers may be more able to promote the progress of the entire world...
"What you said makes sense..."
"No!" Joel Gardman interrupted him, "The cost of training adventurers is too high. First of all, the dietary conditions required by warriors are not comparable to that of ordinary people. Secondly, a large number of weapons and consumables are required... This way It will cause the school’s costs to skyrocket.”
"Money is not a problem, I have money." Sui Xiong said with a smile.
"Money is a big problem!" Joel Gardman said. "If a school relies solely on the support of the church or even gods to survive, then it should only train believers of this church, or even warriors of this church. You It’s not like you are cultivating a knighthood that is loyal to you. When the school recruited students, there was no requirement for faith... And I remember that there were no theology courses at all in your school.”
"As the God of Justice, I cannot approve of your behavior of subsidizing outsiders with your own money. This is indeed kind, but it is unjust!"
Sui Xiong was speechless by what He said. He was silent for a long time and sighed.
"For the time being, I'll help you... at least I can make do..."
"This is wrong!" Joel Gardmann advised. "A person studies with you for three years or more, learns a skill, and then he leaves - I admit, he will definitely feel bad about it in his heart. You have a good impression, and may even become your believer, but as long as you have not confirmed your belief, it is your one-sided contribution... Brother, even if it is a god of mercy and relief, they only save people in trouble. It’s just an emergency, it’s wrong for you to do this to the detriment of yourself and others!”
"What's wrong with strong people making more contributions to society?" Sui Xiong asked.
"Of course there is nothing wrong with this, but people should not enjoy the contributions of others with peace of mind!" Joel Gardman emphasized.
Seeing them arguing, Morani advised: "Then let's cultivate the Church Knights. Anyway, the Church of the Mask of the Void also needs a strong military force."
Sui Xiong shook his head: "This is not a problem of the Knights. I built schools to let people read and write, not to make them bleed and die for me. Of course I need to be loyal to my Knights, but that should be based on ideas and beliefs. , it shouldn’t be done with such a method that is close to coercion and brainwashing!”
For a while, the atmosphere of the discussion was somewhat stiff.
After a while, Wei Ye laughed and persuaded: "Then how about training chefs? Learn how to cook while reading and literacy. After training, working as a chef in pubs and restaurants in various cities or in aristocratic families is also a good way out. .”
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, and his heart was like a bolt of lightning, suddenly enlightened.
Many memories from past lives came to mind, such as "Which company has the best excavator skills? Look to Lan Xiang from Shandong, China", "Come to New Oriental to learn to be a chef"... etc., flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that!" He couldn't help laughing, "I have a solution!"
"What can we do?" Everyone asked curiously.
"I want to build a technical school!" Sui Xiong laughed proudly, "Learn technology and provide distribution. I want to build the world's largest technical talent training center!"
