Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Muqiao Village is one of the villages closer to Tiemucheng. As soon as the sun came up, the villagers started to get busy.

Stimulated by various policies of Li Cha, the villagers are very motivated now, for fear that they are too lazy to live a good life.

At this time, a peddler who was pushing the goods was heading for Ironwood City with a timid boy.

"Little carpenter, busy."

"Eh, good morning, old John."

"Haha, Tiemucheng School starts today, I have to send my son to school early."

"..."

"Little shoemaker, you are still learning how to make shoes from your father. Why don't you go to school like my son."

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

"Send to school early, and you will have a future."

"..."

Old John walked out of the village and greeted everyone along the way with three words about his son's going to school in Ironwood City, which aroused both envy and jealousy.

Little John, who was following him, couldn't help covering his face, blushing for it.

But Old John didn't realize it, and he still told everyone that he was afraid that someone in the village would not know that his son was going to school in Tiemucheng.

Old John was originally a rich peasant from Muqiao Village. When Tiemucheng was just built, he rented a small stall in the city with his brains, and did some business in the slack farming season. After a few years, he saved a lot of money.

Although it was still spring ploughing, Old John left his farm work today and took his son to Tiemucheng, because today is the day when Tiemucheng official school starts.

Old John believes that he has not changed much in his life. With a little cleverness, he will end up being a wealthy household in this wooden bridge village.

But people always have the ambition to make progress and change their lives. When it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to realize them, 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 when he was a late son.

Pushing the frame and walking on the fairly spacious road, Old John hummed a little tune from time to time, obviously in a good mood. When he met some pedestrians on the road, Old John greeted them with a smile regardless of whether they knew him or not.

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

However, the journey is still long, and both father and son were sweating a little while walking. Although they were a little tired, Old John still asked:

"Son, come and sit in the car for a while. Dad pushes you to Tiemucheng to go to school."

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

"No, I can insist on walking to Ironwood City by myself."

"Hahaha, good boy, with ambition, Dad will have to rely on you for the rest of his life."

The two of them were in a good mood, and hummed and sang all the way to Ironwood City.

"This old man, how far is Ironwood City?"

Old John was attracted by the voice from behind.

Looking back, he saw a simple donkey cart slowly catching up.

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

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

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

Old John showed even more enthusiasm. An ordinary farmer without force or culture, he can save some money in a few years and become a fairly wealthy person in the village. There is always something special about him.

Old John is the kind of person who is observant and meticulous and is good at dealing with people.

At first glance, the two of them look simple and simple, but looking at the young man's delicate skin and no calluses on his hands, he is not a working person. These days, it is not bad for a family to support such a person.

Looking at the man driving the car, the calluses on his hands are all over the tiger's mouth. At first glance, he looks like a soldier holding a weapon all the year round. He looks like a guard. For him, the identity of the two is definitely a noble person.

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

The young master asked about the situation of Ironwood City, and Old John naturally knew everything and said everything.

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

"That's to send my son to Tiemucheng Official School."

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

"Let me tell you, this Tiemucheng official is very good. As long as you go in, you can at least become a sheriff in the village in the future."

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

"If you learn it well, you can also learn breathing techniques. If you join Lord Richard's Flying Bear Army, you may become a knight if you make a contribution in the future."

"Oh? Does this Hunt lead every child to go to school?"

"How can it be done? We accept more than 100 children in their teens a year. They have to pay their own food to go to school, and they have to pay a few silver nars for tuition each semester."

"It's not expensive. Hunter's children can go to that official school by paying tuition fees?"

"Then how can you do it! If you can't accept so many people, you have to choose it again. Not only do you have to pay the money, but you also have to look up to your children."

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

The young man turned his eyes to the stubborn child beside him. Then he bowed his hands to old John:

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Eh, hehe"

Old John just smiled happily.

The official school of Tiemucheng is also a new thing that Li Cha came up with.

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

Maybe some wealthy businessmen in big cities are also able to send their children there, but apart from Piaoxuecheng, other places in the north are hard to see.

Li Cha running a government school is equivalent to giving more people an opportunity to receive education, and can also cultivate some useful talents for Tiemucheng.

But after all, the cost of education is too high, so Richard did not engage in education for all.

However, Ironwood City officially subsidized part of it, and the other part needs to be paid by themselves. This kind of cost is still unbearable for many commoner families, but a rich peasant like Old John who got rich first can still pay the tuition fee through gritted teeth.

The official school picks people only to do some simple tests, only physical conditions and simple intelligence tests.

The age is limited to about ten years old, which is also set by Li Cha based on the actual situation. It is not worth the gain to do more than ten years of comprehensive education in this world.

Ten-year-olds are just at the stage of physical and intellectual growth, and they learn things quickly. They can start to learn about knight training such as breathing techniques~www.wuxiahere.com~ and also learn some cultural knowledge.

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

The children trained by the official school naturally have a more sense of belonging to the Ironwood City and the Hunter family, and they are more at ease than those who are recruited directly from the outside.

With the constant conversation, the young man almost got a general idea of ​​the entire Tiemucheng official school, and what Old John knew was also empty.

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

"Brother, thank you for this explanation."

Then the young man handed a color to the driver beside him.

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

When he opened it, it turned out to be a gold nar, which was enough for his annual income, but now he just needs a few words, which made him feel a little unreal.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir." Old John who had reacted to him thanked him again and again.

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

Old John looked at the two gradually disappearing, and carefully put Kinnar away.

Looking back at his son.

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

Little Johnny followed his father and said one last sentence.

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

Old John was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"Okay, Daddy will be waiting for his happiness."

After saying that, he carried Little John to the cart and accelerated the speed of his feet.
