Arcane Lord

Continue north.

What Xia Duo saw was still vast fields of wheat and villages in the middle of the vast wheat fields. Going north from Xinqi Village, although it was only a few villages away, it was obvious that the wheat in the fields was not as plump and mature as the previous ones. .

Maybe it's because the newly developed land is not fertile enough, or maybe it's because the climate in the south is warmer and matures earlier. These are the few thoughts that flashed through Xia Duo's mind when he passed by here.

Although there are no people working in the fields here, you can still see many people in the villages and on the roads.

Xia Duo didn't cast farsight, he just looked at it from a distance with his naked eyes. The people in the village seemed to be chatting in the open space, completely ignoring the big sun above their heads.

As for the people on the road, when Xia Duo passed by them, he could hear from time to time people talking about going to the southside tavern to drink, and about going to the cultural center to see elves. Most of them were discussing what the upcoming cultural and art festival would be. .

Although Lawrence has sent out a propaganda team more than once, and the people in the territory know how this cultural festival is going to be played, the purpose of holding the cultural festival in the territory is still not clear.

Some people are very confused, is it just for the people to have fun after the harvest of the season? But if that's the case, why not just hold a more familiar celebration?

Some people also think that the cultural festival held in the territory may be held for the elves who have appeared in various places in the territory from time to time. After all, what does culture, art, etc. have to do with a group of farmers? By asking them to participate, would it be a joke to the elves?

Of course, what Shao Xia heard less about the Territory Culture and Arts Festival from the people was that the actions of the lord and villain must not have deep meaning, and the people of the lord only need to lead.

…

As for the new mages of the Tower of Time, we grew up in an atmosphere that was no different from the traditional apprenticeship system in the past, and by dropping out of the academy, Mr. Xia unconsciously spread the idea that mages are also special people within the Tower of Time.

Now the new mages of the Tower of Time, Mr. Xia, use us as magic technicians. Some of them directly join the Magic Technicians Department, and some of the better ones are absorbed by various independent research laboratories.

Almost all jobs are not directly related to magic. Even the territorial magic affairs officer, which looks more like a "secular" job, is also engaged in the research, development, promotion and popularization of civilian magic equipment.

It's just the Master himself, but even the people who are being taught find it difficult to accept it.

That was a relatively difficult beginning, but it was also a necessary beginning. In another territory, it would be almost possible to allow mages to teach special people about magic.

Regarding that view, Mr. Xia was both pleased and somewhat dissatisfied.

Walking through villages one after another, Mr. Xia saw that almost every village had large children who were idle. Apart from the busy farm holidays, the most important thing was that the territorial schools were enough to accommodate all the children.

That once again put forward requirements for the number of teachers in the territory.

How could a new mage who had grown up like this treat special people as if they were nothing? Maybe I look like a fan because of the so-called "intellectual pride", but I definitely think that I and the fan are of the same species. Everyone has the right to receive education. Is there any legal provision on the identity of a teacher? Why can a teacher be a mage?

Civilization is, of course, the civilization of one person, but a civilization that is jointly built and shared by everyone.

The reason why all teachers are mages is to provide older children with an opportunity to have close contact with magic. Old children are in the developmental stage and their ideas are budding. Delayed exposure to magic can stimulate our interest.

What do these people who have studied magic do?

On the other hand, it is to provide a new outlet for the increasing number of new mages in the Tower of Time. In the future, of course everyone must learn magic, but everyone has no potential in magic research.

I am gratified that a small number of people in the territory trust and support me, and I am satisfied that that trust and support seems less blind.

What Mr. Xia hopes more is that every teacher is a mage, or at most a mage apprentice. They must be better at teaching, and that would be the worst.

To this end, Laiton's approach was to recruit an equal number of people from the territory's citizens who knew writing, law, and some basic common sense. Each person was responsible for one task, and they would start the fight first, and then gradually improve it.

Asking a mage to teach writing, geography, and law may not involve magic, but magic is definitely dominant. In other words, from a special person's point of view, it is a minimal waste of the mage's talents.

However, offering so few classes puts a huge demand on teachers. According to Mr. Xia’s understanding, currently very few teachers in Linshui Village Primary School are teaching several classes at the same time.

Moreover, when some students are out of class, others have to take a vacation, but teachers never have a vacation.

But considering the importance of education to a civilization and the popularity of magic in the future, it would be a waste.

Some of them have joined the Tower of Time Academic Affairs Office and are engaged in teaching work, but the objects we teach are mage apprentices, and the content we teach is magic.

But in Xiaoxia Ling, none of that is possible. First of all, the people come to Tong Ling and know what to do and what not to do through written laws like the Xiao Xia Code that clarify rights and obligations.

Should we treat the masses as fools, or should we actively teach and guide us so that everyone knows the necessary process of social operation, so that each of us can participate in it through our own labor and wisdom.

It's just that Shao Xia didn't approve of this practice. It is true that not many people in the territory have passed the written test or even the legal test, but it is still not enough for teaching, even if it is only used to teach older children.

Currently, children under the age of 18 in the territory will directly enter the Tower of Time to learn magic, while those over 18 will receive post-school education in the territory, such as writing, common sense, law, geography, arithmetic, magic, etc. .

A long time later, the territory had just accepted more than 700,000 new citizens from the Eighth Plane of Sweetwater, and children over the age of 18 accounted for almost one-eighth of them!

In Shao Xia's hometown, no great man once said, "Eight hundred million Chinese people can conquer Yao and Shun" to praise the wisdom of the masses. However, one of the smallest assets this old man left to his predecessors was not the mass line.

I hope that the people in the territory will make decisions based on "as long as" and "necessary" instead of "because of" and "talent." I also hope that the people in the territory will know that the various policies of the territory are for our bad sake, and the most important thing is of why doing so could be worse than before.

The new mages who grew up from the Tower of Time are not the same as the mages inside who are separated from the masses. Not to mention that the Tower of Time does not have a special moral education class, and spares time for the apprentices to go home to help outside the home and help others. Work outside the village.

Through various selections, people with research potential are gathered together. The remaining people still cannot promote the development of magic, but they may not need to engage in specialized research work.
