The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 1510: The Meaning of Straw Fabrics

One of the quickest ways to do this is to use a local church as an educational venue. After all, building a new school is troublesome. Not only does it cost a lot of money to build, but it also requires people to maintain it. On top of that, it took a long time to fix. If you want to build 150 primary schools in Northumberland, God knows when and when they will be completed and put into use.

And Marin obviously couldn't wait, so he simply decided to open a school in the local church. It just so happens that there are many desks and chairs used by believers for worship in the church, and it is easy to use them as desks for children on non-Sundays.

But this incident also made Marin aware of a serious problem-he even forgot about the education issues in the British territory...

In fact, when Marin sent troops to help Edward capture England and Scotland, Marin thought about promoting brainwashing education in his own territory in the future. But later, because he was busy going to the Ming Dynasty, Marin forgot about it.

Now, thanks to old Mason mentioning it, it's not too late. So, while dispatching 150 primary school teachers to the English territory, Marin also set his sights on the local church...

First of all, Marin needs to seize power and manage the teachings in his own territory to prevent the local church from forming its own system. Therefore, Marin must first obtain the approval of the Church of England to make a major adjustment to the positions of the top church leaders in Northumberland, the Isle of Wight, and the Scottish border counties and Highlands under his own name.

The purpose of the adjustment is to change the places of the local snakes in the churches in various places, so that they lose their attributes of local snakes, so that they can control the church by themselves.

This problem is extremely difficult for others, but it is indeed a piece of cake for Marin-he only needs to write to the Pope's father-in-law and ask him to order the Church of England to transfer the ordination of the church in his territory to himself. . Although it is not in line with the rules, it is not impossible. After all, the Holy See is the head of the church.

After obtaining the authorization, Marin planned to completely change the management areas of the top church leaders in several of his territories. At the same time, let the priests in your own territory get an important message - your personnel rights belong to me, don't cooperate...

Then, there is the control of the grassroots of the church. In this regard, Marin plans to select young missionaries in his own territory to enter the Department of Theology of Aurich University for systematic study. Then Bishop Taylor, the big fool, and his first-generation disciples fooled these young missionaries, making them completely supporters of him.

After Bishop Taylor and his disciples have completed the brainwashing education of these young missionaries from England and Scotland, they can arrange their future work according to the degree of loyalty of these young missionaries to themselves. Those with the highest loyalty will be assigned important positions and reused vigorously. Those with low loyalty should go back to be grassroots priests. The back of the head has a rebellious bone, so they simply find an excuse to clean up the church. Or, send it to a place like Africa that is close to death and let it fend for itself...

...

But those plans will take several years to come true. It will take several years for the young priests in the territory to study.

However, the education of local children can be started immediately.

After all, it is relatively simple to use the local church for primary education. After all, in Europe, even in the most remote villages, there are churches.

Just send those 150 high school graduates working as primary school teachers to Northumberland. Then, they can be assigned to churches around the world to be teachers.

At that time, Marin will equip them with enough textbooks, as well as blackboards and chalk. There is also a sand table for children to practice writing...

Giving free paper and pens to children is extremely luxurious in this era, and Marin would not do that. Therefore, it is the most cost-effective to equip children with a sand table that can be smoothed and rewritten at any time. There is no cost to write and draw on the sand in the sand table with a "pen" made of tree branches. Back then, Yue Fei came here in the same way, and later became a big boss.

...

In fact, the straw sandals, coir raincoats, and writing on the sand table that Marin introduced to Beihai, which seem to be very simple inventions, are very useful. Because these inventions are very cheap and have no cost, but they are very practical.

Of course, those shoemakers in Beihai were out of luck. In the past, the people of Beihai always went to the shoemaker to buy shoes. However, the straw sandals promoted by Marin are cheap and comfortable to wear, making many shoemakers unemployed. And the small number of shoemakers who survived had to make leather shoes for the rich. After all, rich people and nobles would not choose to wear straw sandals. But on the other hand, straw sandals are too affordable for most people in Beihai. Not only easy to use, but also cheap, everyone can afford it.

Even now, straw weaving has become a very popular craft in Beihai, and poor people can do both. Some poor families even use thatch to weave clothes instead of expensive clothes because they cannot afford cloth to make clothes. Especially during normal working hours, some poor people simply wear straw clothes to work. Clothes made of cloth are only worn during festivals and when traveling.

Of course, this is also related to the cooler climate in Germany. If you wear thick straw clothes in the tropics, you will have to cover yourself with heat stroke...

Moreover, since the promotion of coir raincoats in Beihai, ordinary people have discovered that it seems that wearing coir raincoats in winter is quite warm. They can't afford down jackets, and they don't have cotton clothes, but they can go out to work in winter after wearing coir raincoats. Unlike before, I dare not go out without thick clothes, and can only shiver in the thatched hut in winter...

The appearance of coir raincoats and straw sandals has greatly reduced the chances of the serfs in Beihai Kingdom being frozen to death in winter...

As for sand table writing, it gives many children from poor families the opportunity to learn and write. Otherwise, they can't afford paper and pens to learn cultural knowledge...

...

In the winter, when Marin went out of the city to inspect the dairy cow breeding base and dairy sheep breeding base, he found that the rural roads were full of farmers wearing coir raincoats, straw sandals and straw hats. If they stood still in the field, they would think they were scarecrows from a distance...

Of course, the poor serfs in the countryside would wear a full set of grass fabrics without any hesitation. In the city of Aurich, the living conditions of the residents are much better, so naturally they don't need to wear grass clothes, but wear normal clothes. After all, urbanites are more concerned about saving face. However, there are still many people wearing straw sandals. After all, leather shoes are too expensive. Also, shoes wear out quickly and are not as durable as clothes.

The other kind of wooden-soled shoes are cheaper than leather shoes, but they can't work at all. Therefore, the working people in Beihai country usually like to wear straw sandals to work. Even if it is worn out, just make another pair, it costs almost nothing, just a little delay...

All in all, grass fabrics with extremely low cost are of great significance to the North Sea country. It allows the poor people in Beihai to wear warm clothes, and it also protects against rain and cold. Not to mention straw sandals, this kind of high-frequency and low-cost consumables has increased the enthusiasm of farmers in Beihai. Because they are not afraid of wearing straw sandals. After all, straw sandals cost nothing. Everyone can run and work vigorously without worrying about their shoes being broken...
