After dinner, he began to prepare the content of the evening class. The arithmetic class every Wednesday is one of the few moments when Jenkins can feel that he is contributing to the church. He was nervous every time he stepped up to the stage in the fall, but then recovered when he noticed that most people couldn't figure out what he was saying.
Feeney's hard work is one of the big reasons that motivates Jenkins to lecture, but it's not like there aren't other believers working hard besides the girls. Jenkins typically arrives in the classroom half an hour or twenty minutes before the lecture starts, giving those who have questions a chance to ask them.
While most of these questions are basic, there are occasional interesting ones. Today I talked about multiplication again. After Jenkins finished most of the content, he saw that it was still early, so he asked an interesting question to the audience.
"Let's now assume a situation where I'm going to give one of you some rice as a gift of attentive listening."
Use such assumptions in order to grab the audience's attention.
"Now there are two options, one is to directly choose such a big pocket, and I will fill it."
He drew the shape with his hand, which is probably a normal-capacity noodle pocket.
"Alternatively, I would use a chess board and put one grain of rice on the first square of the board on the first day, two grains of rice on the second square on the second day, and four grains of rice on the third day. In short, every day The amount of rice placed is double that of the previous day, until the last grid, which is the 6/4th grid. Excuse me, which option is the most suitable?"
Of course no one would answer him, in fact no one ever offered to answer any of Jenkins' questions in class, and people seemed to think that was a class disruptor.
Jenkins waited for a while, saw the cat lying next to Fei Ni, and thought that if the cat had to choose, it would definitely want them all.
Seeing that no one spoke, and those who listened carefully just looked up at him, they turned around and picked up the chalk, and began to calculate how much rice they could get in total by the second option.
No one could understand his calculation process using the geometric sequence, but it didn't matter. Jenkins just wanted to give a conclusion, so that people in the classroom could understand how many times of doubling would lead to terrible numbers.
It's a pity that the number representing the number of rice grains has too many digits, and most people can't even read it. They only know that this is a quantity that they will never touch in their entire lives. Jenkins didn't know if he was successful in giving this example, but it seemed that Fei Ni was terrified by the result. After class, she quietly asked him whether the chessboard that could hold so many meters was the spatial object in the story that accommodates everything.
This simple question Jenkins cannot answer.
After the class, Jenkins stood on the podium to pack his things, and people who left would greet him with a respectful tone. Fenny had already trotted away and was about to go to bed. Jenkins lowered his head and called his cat to wake him up a little and stop sleeping.
"Did you know that too much sleep can actually make cats fat."
Jenkins taught his cat some knowledge he had forgotten where he heard it.
"Meow?"
It's an obvious questioning tone, but it looks like the cat thinks it's Jenkins talking nonsense.
Originally planning to go directly to Miss Bevanna, when she was about to leave the podium, she saw Bishop Parode walking over from the last row of the classroom. Although there are doors at the front and back of this lecture theater, the back door is locked during class, which means that the bishop can only sit here before class, and spent two hours listening to Jenkins stand on the podium explaining elementary multiplication .
"Oh, Bishop, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you, there are too many people sitting in the back, maybe you should sit in the front."
He made a little joke, and the old man also smiled, signaling that Jenkins doesn't need to leave, as the conversation can be carried out in this classroom with only two people and one cat.
"Jenkins, what you said was really good. It reminds me of my school days many years ago. If Mr. Rockall, who taught us mathematics, was still alive, he would be almost a hundred years old."
He shook his head, dispelling the past memories:
"Let's not talk about that, I came to you for the church. Oh, before I say, the mysteries of mathematics are really fascinating. The example of putting meters on the chessboard is very good. It's the same as' The basic concept of the "Fabry scam" is also similar, one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight, and without a few rounds, a huge number can be accumulated."
Jenkins also didn't want to discuss this issue. He always hated discussing all things about the "Fabry scam" with others.
The bishop was still talking to himself. He mentioned the Fabry scam because the Church of the Sages finally made a decision to open a regular church bank.
The advantage of church banks lies in their high credibility, but the disadvantage is that they only accept deposits from believers. Prior to this, the church also had functions similar to banks, such as helping believers save money, or temporarily borrowing money, etc., but formal church banks must not be limited to this.
Given that Jenkins Williams is currently the one who knows finance and banking best, the matter fell to Jenkins in the end.
"Isn't it for me to set up a bank?"
Jenkins asked in embarrassment, he didn't have so much time.
"No, you are still too young, and there are other important things to do. The Holy See hopes that you can give a plan, and you can write some of your opinions on modern banks at will. The Church will use this as a support to start a bank. "
But even just that, Jenkins is under a lot of pressure. He knew very little about banking, and if he wrote a proposal based on what he knew, he would end up in trouble. But the people in the church quite trust Jenkins' ability, and they don't know whether they think that he will be able to give a good plan because of the favor of the sage, or because Jenkins is too dazzling in the Fabry scam.
But fortunately, Jenkins has friends, and he has very reliable friends. Now Alexia of Loen is preparing to assist Dolores in forming the kingdom's new financial and financial department. If this matter is entrusted to them, good results will definitely be obtained.
"Just do it, Alexia won't let me down."
Jenkins had already pushed this matter out in his heart, so when he said goodbye to the bishop, his complexion had returned to normal. This is an era of great change. Although Jenkins wants to participate, he needs to find what he is good at, and finance is obviously not good for him.
"So what am I good at... ."
