Since Xia Zoe said to the pastors "to start training", the pastors' time has been fully arranged, and the heavy learning tasks have begun.
Grove Joe felt like he was in dire straits right now.
Being a pastor in a church in Cais, preaching theology to the world every day is not so tiring...
The task conveyed by Xia Zoe is that the priests must first collect and compile all the laws of each country, including the two empires.
Not only do they have to fill in the gaps and improve the laws in the Territory of Desinia, but also require them to read and recite them by heart, and there will be inspections and spot checks of relevant laws later.
The laws and regulations are sorted out, and the time limit is seven days.
before this.
Xia Zoe handed the newly made paper to the priests such as Grove: "You need to write the compiled law on the water-printed paper, and remember to complete it within the stipulated time."
Grove took the paper with a puzzled expression: "Water pattern paper?"
He just saw that the paper in the lord's hand showed a beautiful white color.
After I took it over and took a closer look, I found that this kind of paper was different from parchment and papyrus in terms of fingertip touch, texture, and toughness.
The paper in his hand seemed to be in a new, unprecedented form.
"Lord, this, this..." Grove asked in a daze.
Xia Zuoyi: "This is a newly researched paper named water pattern paper, which is cheaper and easier to make than parchment paper."
"Water textured paper is more flexible than papyrus and won't break easily when flipped..."
"In the future, water pattern paper will be comprehensively promoted within the territory and sold to other countries through the Thorns Chamber of Commerce."
"Water-patterned paper" is an ancient name for paper, and it was also known as "flower paper" in ancient China.
This kind of paper is strongly covered with a curtain surface or a wooden mold to squeeze the moisture, and finally named because of the obvious lines or patterns on the finished product.
What Xia Zuoyi chose to make paper was the method of taking out the pulp from a wooden mold, pressing it with a wooden board, and placing heavy stones.
As a result, a relatively rough texture will be formed on the paper, and it will have a sandy texture to the touch, which is not too smooth and delicate.
After all, this is the first time he has studied papermaking, and his experience is not very rich, and there will definitely be more room for improvement in the future.
Grove suddenly remembered the boiler that kept burning in the castle courtyard during this period. It turned out to be…
He turned and immediately thought, once this new type of paper was promoted and sold, it would bring great benefits to the Lord of Desinia.
This new type of paper called water pattern paper will undoubtedly be more popular and popular than parchment and papyrus.
Seeing that the priests were standing there in a daze, staring straight at the water pattern paper, Xia Zuoyi couldn't help knocking on the table, and the dull sound brought them back to their senses.
Xia Zuoyi: "Are there any questions?"
The priests such as Grove immediately shook their heads: "No, not anymore."
Xia Zuoyi: "In that case, go back and prepare."
"Yes, my lord."
Pastors such as Grove started 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 Zuoyi only gave three days, after which he would be tested and checked by Butler Judit.
Also, those who fail to recite will be punished.
Therefore, Grove and other pastors almost took a more solemn attitude than praying to the God of Creation. Even when they were sleeping, they had laws and regulations in their dreams.
During these three days, they were in a mood that was both nervous and a little restless and restless...
Some people didn't even do any heavy labor, but they felt a little tired, and the closer they got to the spot check, the less they could remember the content.
Three days later, Judit began to test the priests one by one.
Xia Zoe watched from inside the house.
He watched helplessly as a priest sweated profusely on his face, then his hands were shaking, his eyes were blurred, and he was speechless.
Xia Zoe: "..."
Test syndrome
The pastor's psychological quality is not very good...
Judit was obviously a little surprised by the sudden situation in front of him, turned his head and asked, "Lord... What should I do?"
Xia Zuoyi: "...Take the person out first and let Adai take a look for him."
"Yes."
Fortunately, there was only one case in this case, and almost all of them passed the border after that.
The fainted priest woke up and cried, anxiously waiting for the punishment from the lord.
He must be finished... After all, he didn't even say a complete sentence.
Grove brought him the "punishment" from Lord Lord with a complicated expression.
The pastor cried and said in despair, "Groff, just say it, I can stand it."
Grove: "Cough... The Lord asked you to do a hundred squats and a hundred push-ups. If you don't finish it, you will have no food."
"You have to recite it after you're done, I'll just do a random check."
The pastor's snot and tears were still hanging on his face. Hearing this, he raised his head in disbelief: "Just, just this...?"
"Um."
The pastor cried again, this time with joy.
Thank you Lord Lord!
But the pastor rejoiced too soon.
Reciting laws and regulations is only the first step in the training. Next, heavy homework and study tasks are waiting for them.
…
Grove and other pastors: It is the feeling of Zhixi, and even the smile can no longer be maintained.
The hairline on the top of the head gradually moves back.
The breadth of training and knowledge they have to learn is so comprehensive that it can be a nightmare.
So that two months later, after the news and conditions for electing the mayor to participate in the examination came out and spread widely, the priests such as Grove finally understood what the Lord Lord wanted to give them to do.
One is the preparation of test materials.
The second is to organize the examination question bank.
They are the proctors who will supervise the exam and give the final result.
On the Western Continent, books, etc. are all copied manually or engraved on wood and copper plates, and 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 asked Renault to study how to improve the engraving of wood and copper plates.
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 initial surprise to now admiration.
They were able to witness the revolution of paper and printing here.
They also have no doubt that the emergence and advent of these two things will surely usher in the earth-shaking and unbelievable development of the Territory of Desinia.
But the most important and most troubling thing right now is how do they come up with a tearful test paper
The priests touched their heads that almost fell bald, and bowed their heads to the still-blank paper with a "crazy" smile.
It's about time that exam-takers feel the bald horror too.
After all, they were "tortured" by the little lord and almost went directly into the arms of the devil.
Since Nat was determined to stay by the Lord's side.
He did not leave with his father, Marco Keys, when he returned to Cais, but bought a place to live in Wiesas.
Naturally, the place Nat bought was no better than his original home in Kaesnay.
At first, I really didn't get used to it very much. I almost regretted it and walked away. Later, after thinking about the little lord and what he said to Fernandi, I gritted my 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, the Chamber of Commerce also began to sell two cheaper books.
A book dedicated to explaining the specific arrangements and precautions for the exam.
The book also includes the scope of study required for the examination to select a mayor, and the study content that officials who should be selected for different positions need to be compared.
For example, exams are divided into public and professional subjects.
There is not only a written test, but also an interview, and the examiner who finally decides the candidates for the mayor and officials is the Lord Lord.
The scope of study covered includes new laws and regulations in the territory, language comprehension and expression, mathematical calculation, logical analysis, etc.
Many people couldn't help but give birth to the psychology of retreat after reading it.
- No, if you can't pass the test, give up.
But more people also bought the book.
The second book is relatively heavy. When you turn to the first page, it reads - "Officials' selection of knowledge points is concise and concise."
There are also remarks below - "requires full familiarity and understanding".
This is the question bank for the corresponding exam that Xia Zoe asked the priests to prepare for.
The time is relatively short, and there is no time to make more arrangements, so I will use a book to organize all the topics first.
Pastors will give questions or extra difficult questions based on the content.
Nat bought back both books.
If he didn't understand something, he had the cheek to go to Fernandez or Valk to find out.
One to two, even Xia Zuoyi knew about it.
Judit: "It seems that Master Nat really wants to stay by your side, otherwise he wouldn't work so hard."
Xia Zuoyi leaned on Xue Tuan's face and said, "Did he say what to test? Do you want to be mayor or other official positions?"
Judit couldn't help laughing and said, "Master Nate said that he will take every exam to see which one can pass."
"But he clearly said he didn't want to be mayor, he just wanted to stay in Wisas."
Xia Zuoyi thought for a while, and couldn't help recalling Nat's eloquence that made people speechless, and said, "I can give him a suggestion."
"Nate is more suitable for the position of diplomat, but there is still a lot of lack of knowledge."
"You asked Nat to mainly learn languages that are not common in 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 become familiar with the customs and habits, geographical features, city names, etc. of some other countries."
Judit nodded: "I will send someone to tell Master Nat."
Xia Zuoyi frowned: "I hope he won't be scared back to Kaais by me."
