Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Muqiao Village is one of the villages closer to Ironwood City. As soon as the sky was lighted, the villagers began to get busy.

Stimulated by Li Cha's various policies, the current villagers are particularly motivated, for fear that they will be too lazy to live a good life.

At this time, a peddler pushing goods was heading for Ironwood City with a thick-headed young man.

"Little carpenter, I'm busy."

"Hey, good morning, Old John."

"Haha, Ironwood City Academy starts today, I have to send my son to school early."

"..."

"Little shoemaker, you are still learning to make shoes from your father, why not go to school like my son."

"I'll send him there when I save some more money."

"Send it to school early, and you will be successful in the future."

"..."

Old John walked out of the village, and greeted everyone he met along the way. His son was going to go to school in Ironwood City, which aroused envy and jealousy.

Little John who was following beside him couldn't help covering his face and blushing.

Old John didn't notice it, and he still talked to everyone he met, for fear that some people in the village would not know that his son was going to go to school in Ironwood City.

Old John was originally a rich farmer in Muqiao Village. When Ironwood City was first built, he was quick-witted enough to rent a small stall in the city. He did some business during the off-season, and saved a lot of money over the years.

Although it was still the time for spring plowing, Old John left his farm work today and took his son to Ironwood City, because today was the opening day of the Ironwood City Official School.

Old John thought that he hadn't changed much in his life, so he ended up as a wealthy household in Muqiao Village with a little cleverness.

But people always have the ambition to change their lives, and when it is difficult for them to realize it, they transfer their expectations to the younger generation.

Obviously, Old John pinned all his expectations on his son, and he almost regarded his son as more important than his own life as he was born late.

Pushing the frame and walking on the relatively spacious road, Old John hummed a little tune from time to time, apparently in a good mood. When he met some passers-by on the road, Old John greeted with a smile whether he recognized them or not.

This road used to be very difficult to walk. It was not until the time of Richard that the main road was repaired as much as possible, which made the traffic much more convenient.

However, the journey was still long, and both father and son were sweating after walking. Although they were slightly tired, Old John still asked:

"Son, come and sit in the car for a while, my father will push you to go to school in Ironwood City."

Little John looked up at his father, then shook his head.

"No, I can go to Ironwood City by myself."

"Hahaha, good boy, with ambition, dad will depend on you for the rest of his life."

Both of them were in a good mood, humming and singing all the way to Ironwood City.

"Brother, how far is Ironwood City?"

Old John was attracted by the voice behind him.

Looking back, I saw a simple donkey cart slowly coming up.

The driver was a middle-aged man with a sad face, and a young man opened the curtain and looked outside.

It seems to be to the master and servant, it should be the young man who is asking the question.

"Hey, you two are asking the right person. Follow me, and you will arrive at Ironwood City in four hours at most."

Old John was even more enthusiastic. An ordinary farmer with no force and no culture could save some money in a few years and become a relatively well-off person in the village. There is always something special about him.

Old John is the kind of person who observes meticulously and is good at dealing with people.

At first glance, these two people looked simple in their identities and clothes, but judging by the young man's delicate skin and no calluses on his hands, he was not a worker. These days, a family that can support such a person is not bad.

Looking at the man driving the car, his hands are all calloused at the tiger's mouth. At first glance, he looks like a soldier holding a weapon all year round. He looks like a guard. The status of the two of them is definitely noble to him.

The two of them threw a word, and Old John just happened to be able to climb over the pole.

The young man asked about the situation in Ironwood City, and Old John naturally knew everything.

"I don't know why my brother is rushing to Ironwood City?"

"That's sending my son to the Ironwood City Official School."

The young man's words scratched Old John's heart, and Old John started to talk nonstop.

"Let me tell you, this Tiemu City official school is amazing. As long as you enter, you can at least be a security officer in the village from now on."

In the eyes of Old John, the sheriff sent from Ironwood City can be regarded as a big man.

"If you study well, you can also learn the breathing method. If you join Mr. Richard's Flying Bear Army, you may become a knight if you do meritorious service in the future."

"Oh? Can Hunter lead every child to go to school?"

"How can it be done? A year, more than a hundred children in their teens are admitted, and they have to pay for the food for the children to go to school, and they have to pay a few silvers for tuition fees every semester."

"It's not expensive. Children led by Hunter can go to that government school if they pay the tuition fee?"

"That's okay! You can't accept so many people, they have to pick it all over again, you not only have to pay the money, but they also have to think highly of your child."

Speaking of this, Old John couldn't help but feel complacent again.

The young man looked at the child with a thick head and a thick head beside him. Then he bowed to Old John:

"Congratulations."

"Hey, hey"

Old John just smiled happily.

The Tiemu City Official School is also a new thing created by Li Cha, who is very shameless and self-appointed as the dean.

In this era, almost only children from aristocratic families have the opportunity to receive a complete education.

Perhaps wealthy businessmen in some big cities are also able to send their children there, but apart from Piaoxuecheng, it is difficult to see them in other places in the Northland.

Li Cha's running an official school is equivalent to giving more people an opportunity to receive education, and it can also train some useful talents for Ironwood City.

But the cost of education is too high after all, Li Cha did not engage in education for all out of reality.

Ironwood City government subsidizes part of it, and the other part needs to be paid by itself. This kind of expense is still unaffordable for many commoner families, but rich peasants like Old John, who got rich first, gritted their teeth and still paid for the tuition.

The selection of candidates by officials and colleges is just to do some simple tests, only to test the physical condition and to do simple intelligence tests.

The age limit is about ten years old, which is also set by Li Cha based on reality. In this world, it is not worth the candle to get more than ten years of comprehensive education.

A ten-year-old boy is just at the stage of physical and intellectual growth, and he is quick to learn things. He can start to get in touch with knight training such as breathing techniques, and he can also learn some cultural knowledge.

After a few years of study, you can basically become a talent, and according to your ability, you can be assigned to the military or the administrative system.

The children trained by these government schools naturally have a greater sense of belonging to Ironwood City and the Hunter family, and they are more at ease in using them than those recruited directly from the outside. It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

With the continuous conversation, the young man almost got a general idea of ​​the situation of the entire Ironwood City official school, and the situation that Old John knew was also exhausted.

At this time, several people were already approaching the gate of Ironwood City. After being inspected by the guards, they entered the city and prepared to part ways.

"Brother, thank you for your clarification."

Then the young man gave a sign to the coachman beside him.

A golden coin was thrown from the driver's hand, and Old John hurriedly caught it with both hands.

When he opened it, it turned out to be a kinnar. This kinnar was enough for him to earn a year. Now it was just a waste of words, which made him feel a little unreal.

"Thank you nobleman, thank you nobleman." Old John, who had reacted, thanked again and again.

The young man waved his hand silently, and led the coachman away gradually in another direction.

Old John looked at the two people who were gradually disappearing, and carefully put Kinnard away.

He looked back at his son.

"Let's go, let's go to the official school to report."

Little John followed his father hesitantly, and finally said a word.

"I will give my father a hundred kinnars in the future, and I can't spend them all."

Old John was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Okay, Dad is waiting to enjoy the blessing."

After finishing speaking, he lifted Little John onto the cart and accelerated the speed of his feet.
