Chapter 213 Literacy is urgently needed!
"elder brother..."
Seeing her younger sister leave without eating, Honglian felt a pang of heartache in her eyes and looked at Xiao Yu, saying, "The City Lord's Mansion is so big now, and you're always busy with affairs. I can't be by your side every day, so why don't we find another helper?"
"Yes, I had the same thought. You and Xinglan have been working too hard." After a moment of silence, Xiao Yu nodded and asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
The two sisters have sacrificed so much for him, running around every day, and he feels a little sorry for them.
However... the City Lord's Mansion is the most important place in Dragon City, where all the treasures are hidden.
Of course, you can't just pick anyone; they have to be someone you can trust.
“Yes, Xiaoyu’s younger sister, Xiaozhuo.” Honglian said without much thought.
Rather than overseeing things in the Hall of Merit, she would much rather stay by her brother's side.
However, there are too many things to do in Longcheng now, and she must help her brother manage Longcheng.
Xiaoyu's family has followed them since they were young, so their loyalty is absolutely unquestionable.
Moreover, that girl named Xiao Zhuo is very clever and sensible.
"Alright, I trust the people you chose!"
"Oh, right, brother, you have another appointment later. Today is the official opening of the academy, and the more than one hundred students have started learning forging. As the honorary principal of the forging academy, you have to go and inspect it." Honglian said while drinking a bowl of meat soup and flipping through her work log.
Xiao Yu would inform Honglian of his important daily schedule a day in advance.
Honglian would write it down in her notebook, and when the time came, she would remind her.
The Forging Academy was named by Xiao Yu; it's an academy that trains forging masters.
Chu Ling Shuang is a master forger and serves as the principal, while Xiao Yu is the honorary principal.
He doesn't usually participate in teaching, but he will step in to guide students who are exceptionally talented.
This was also an advertisement Chu Ling Shuang had put out to attract talented blacksmiths to join her team.
Today is the opening day of the Forging Academy, and as its honorary principal, he should go and pay a visit.
"Then let's go this afternoon."
Xiao Yu recalled that in the afternoon, besides continuing to study charcoal pencils and helping the special forces team speed up the forging of weapons.
There's nothing particularly important to do, but I should go check out the forging academy first.
Seeing the red-haired girl working while eating, he took her small hand with concern and said, "Eat first, take your time. The charcoal pencil will be finished soon, and then... I'll immediately launch a literacy campaign to help you train a group of literate people, and then you'll be much more relaxed!"
There had been no literacy campaign before.
On the one hand, there was a lack of paper and pens, and on the other hand, it was mainly to prepare for the trade conference.
Now... the trade conference has ended, and everyone has free time.
Moreover... there are more and more things to do, and Honglian really can't handle it all by herself.
It is now urgent to carry out literacy education in Longcheng!
……
In the afternoon, two more people arrived at the city lord's mansion.
It was Xiaoyu, and her younger sister Xiaozhuo.
"Sister, the City Lord's Mansion is so magnificent! Can I really work here?" In the living room, Xiao Zhu looked around the huge City Lord's Mansion, her big eyes full of curiosity.
This was her first time here, and the decor and layout looked very high-end.
Looking around, Xiao Zhuo's eyes were full of anticipation and longing.
Since the trade conference ended.
The food court became quiet, with most of the staff busy with their own tasks.
Xiao Zhuo, who was ranked first in performance, also returned to the inner city and helped her busy sister cook and do laundry every day.
Originally, she thought that the city lord didn't think much of her and wouldn't let her work.
I was still feeling quite disappointed, but during lunch my sister told me to come for an interview in the afternoon.
"Are you really willing to work at the City Lord's Mansion? It's very hard work here."
A moment later, Xiao Yu looked at the pretty girl. She had short, flaxen hair tied in two braids, which made her look youthful and sunny.
The two were acquaintances, but they hadn't had much interaction before.
"Lord City Lord, please rest assured, I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue! Moreover... everything we have now is given to us by you, Lord City Lord. I am willing to do anything for you!" Xiao Zhuo said with anticipation in her eyes and bowed slightly to Xiao Yu somewhat nervously.
"I heard from Honglian that you've done a great job at the food court, and she'd like you to manage it." Xiao Yu had reviewed the food court's financial reports and was quite impressed with Xiao Zhuo's business acumen. He thought for a moment and said...
"Here's the arrangement... You'll usually help me at the City Lord's Mansion, and when the Food Pavilion is busy, you'll go help out there. Your monthly salary at the City Lord's Mansion is 150 merit points, plus extra subsidies like Night Dew and Mulberries. As for the Food Pavilion, that'll be calculated separately."
In short...you won't be shortchanged by either side.
"really?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhuo's eyes lit up.
To be honest, she also really enjoys working at the food court.
However... in order to take care of the city lord.
She had no choice but to give up the job she loved.
But now... if she could have both, she would naturally be willing.
Moreover... 150 a month isn't much for her, but this base salary is only second to a few mid-to-high-level employees like Xiaoyu and Chenlong Tienan, plus various benefits...
"Thank you, Lord City Lord. I will definitely do my best in this job!"
"Okay, let Xinglan show you around the work first."
Xiao Yu waved his hand, signaling the two of them to go down first.
He himself, however, had to go to the forging area.
A moment later, in the forging area, Xiao Yu saw a group of energetic young men and women.
"Not bad! It's starting to look like a sect!"
Previously, the Divine Weapon City also offered free training, but the students' abilities varied greatly.
But now... the students recruited by Longcheng are generally of very good quality.
They are all under 30 years old, and each of them has a single-arm strength of over 300 pounds!
In short... thanks to Xiao Yu's reforms, it has become a true elite academy.
In every city we pass through in the future, we will recruit a group of students.
Before long, Dragon City will have one of the most prestigious universities on the continent.
Xiao Yu will not forget.
In my past life, a certain rogue nation became the world's strongest power by selling arms.
The future Dragon City... even if only half of these trainees remain, it will still be the city with the most blacksmiths in the world! And the city with the most powerful weaponry in the world!
"Lord City Lord, this is my personal disciple!" At this moment, Chu Ling Shuang led a tall girl to Xiao Yu and bowed, saying, "Her name is Na Ke, and she is also a Power Awakener!"
"Not bad!"
Xiao Yu understood Chu Ling Shuang's meaning. He looked the girl up and down and smiled with satisfaction, "Your talent is quite good! You are the first among this year's students. I will reward you with 5 drops of Night-Shining Dew as a reward."
"Really? Can I give it to someone else?"
Nako stared wide-eyed at her master, her eyes filled with surprise.
This is glow-in-the-dark dew!
After arriving in Longcheng, her happiest moment each day was being able to bask in the glow of the night.
However... regardless of whether it's the Dragon Inn or the tenement building, the range illuminated by the night light is quite limited.
Therefore, Nako also longed to obtain the Night-Shining Dew.
