     Half is now the little son of Raidan General Hadar. Every day, because there is no school in the city of Groot, he can only do nothing.

   Even if Heine serves as the tutor for the two little guys in Hadar’s family, there are only two classes a week, and the rest of the time is free, which is not conducive to Hadar’s development and growth.

   There are more than 800 Viking families living in Herut City, and they are unable to solve the education problems of their children.

Now that the population is small, there are few children, the problem has not been exposed, and the educational needs of Viking children are not strong, but if it cannot be solved, the future will be a big problem, because illiterate people will always be unable to govern a city-state or country, let alone manage the army, Become a technician.

  The future of Wenlan still has to be passed on to the children of the present, so we must find teachers to teach Wenlan’s children and cultivate talents!

   Olaf thought of the profound content of education through Half. He believes that whether it is the celestial dynasty or Europe, the academy (school) has played a vital role in the development of national civilization.

Therefore, Wenlan also needs schools. Previously, there were no conditions. Now, after solving the problem of hunger and fullness, Wenlan will start to open schools this year, so that it can brainwash the next generation of Vikings and even the indigenous people. Culturally creating the concept of Vikings, while also cultivating elites in various industries and enhancing national power.

   The more he watched his brother wielding the hatchet while walking, the more determined the idea in Olaf's mind-running a school must start as soon as possible!

Now Wenlan has a small population, basically only 30% of white slaves and 50% of Vikings are educated, and their educational level is also uneven, few only know part of their sons and mothers, and many have more than five years of experience. Church school.

   But people who really have a good cultural background can't find 30 people, and only Heine is the one who has gone to college.

   These thirty-odd people are all responsible for important tasks in all aspects of production and life in the city of Groot. They usually work as tutors in Viking families at most. Olaf feels that it is not a good idea to use them to start a school.

   The best way is to go to the European continent to find people with literacy to serve as teachers, just like looking for a doctor.

This year, we may try to find scholars, scientists and missionaries who want to develop in the New World in various European countries, and invite these highly educated talents to Wenlan to run schools, but it is very likely that truly educated people will not come to the New World. In the end, it is most likely to find the pastor of the church.

   When Olaf was thinking about entering the factory, all the craftsmen and apprentices of the factory were all there, including Mr. Hunter and other six technicians in mineral exploration and mining.

   Talking a few words, everyone walked into the factory workshop and sat down, then Olaf looked at a lot of materials in the warehouse, and ordered the work to start.

   Many master craftsmen and their apprentices began to take materials from the warehouse and produce woodware, wooden armor, leather goods and other tools. Porcelain craftsmen had insufficient materials to make bone china, so they could only make pottery first.

  Mr. Hunter looked around and was amazed.

"Master Olaf, I want to express my sincere admiration to you. Your factory is more complete than what I saw in London. The only difference is that the equipment and skilled workers are insufficient. I think if you have enough workers, you can Expand the porcelain firing workshop, and the rest of the stoneware and woodware can be cancelled. Wouldn’t it be okay to burn the porcelain with all your strength? I really can’t imagine that you still master the secrets of porcelain firing. It’s really amazing!"

  Mr. Hunter looked at Olaf in amazement with an exaggerated tone. The five craftsmen around him also looked surprised. Obviously he did not expect that Olaf’s factory could even make porcelain, which is a luxury purchased in the Far East!

Olaf shook his head slightly and said, "Sir, you don’t understand. Porcelain firing is very wonderful. It is difficult for other craftsmen to master the link of billet making and firing. But you did remind me that I think I will reduce the workers and workers in other workshops in the future. Apprentice, this year I plan to purchase some textile machines from Europe. This year I can try to grow cotton and spin cotton cloth."

   "Oh? Cotton? That's a very rare fabric." Mr. Hunter said with a smile, "I wish Master Olaf every success in your plans for this year."

   "Mr. Hunter, when are you going to go to Changling Mountain to start the mining project?" Olaf asked about the mine in the west of Wenlan.

Hunter looked at each other, and finally smiled, and said: "Your Excellency General Hadar has ordered us to go next week. We are going to prepare a team of two. I am responsible for the mining of copper and gold mines, and Edward is responsible for the northern iron mines. Mining, the mining of the coal mine is in charge of Robert.

Because Wenlan lacks too much equipment, so we plan to find the weakest area and let miners conduct direct excavation and open-pit mining. In this way, the daily mining volume will be small, and the quality of the ore cannot be guaranteed. The initial mining volume There will be very few, even if it rains, I can’t work..."

After listening to Hunter’s words, Olaf nodded very understandingly: “Everything is difficult at first, as long as mining can be carried out. I believe that my father will send enough slaves to mine. Workers, please rest assured. As for the tools, I miss you. You can write a list, and we will take a boat to Europe to buy in a while!"

"Master Olaf, you are really not like a teenager at this age. I listen to you like an aristocratic boss facing London. Hehe, don't worry, we will write a detailed list of supplies before we leave, as long as we have enough equipment and tools. , I believe that in the second half of this year, the mining volume of mines will definitely increase!"

   Hunter praised Olaf without a trace, and then patted his chest to make sure.

   Olaf also smiled: "You should tell my father what you said. But I believe in your abilities."

   Several people were talking, the slave and Olaf’s dozens of skilled workers from Atang’s Atang pushed a few carts of sweet potatoes that had just been taken out of the cellar into the factory. At this time, Half had been studying around the wood craftsmen.

   Olaf asked his brother to stand up and say: "Come on, I will show you the process of wine making."

   While talking, Olaf led six English craftsmen into the brewing workshop. This workshop was transformed from a warehouse with a large space, large and small stoves and related utensils.

  Under the command of Olaf, the Vikings led the indigenous slaves to wash the sweet potatoes and then steam them in a pot.

   Two hours after the completion of a set of procedures, Hunter and the others did not understand it, but it did not affect them to feel the high-end atmosphere, so they praised the Olaf factory again and talked about the taste of sweet potato wine and potato wine.

Olaf remembered that it had been in the cellar for a few months. The sweet potato wine and potato wine should have been brewed. So he ordered people to open a tank and filter it first~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then use the distilled wine bought from Europe last year. The pot sits on the fire and is processed at high temperature, and finally takes some from the wine outlet and invites them to drink.

  Hunter’s six are all technical personnel close to the middle class in Europe. They came to Vinland last year purely for five pounds of silver a year. This income is twice as high as they are in the UK, so they are naturally willing to come.

  As a technician with a good income, Hunter and others drank no less, but after drinking sweet potato wine and potato wine, they all gave very high evaluations.

   "The sweet potato wine has a sweet taste, but it has some pungent irritation when swallowed, and the body becomes warm after being eaten. I think it is better than whiskey.

   "Potato wine also has a light fragrance, this taste is very light, but the aftertaste is very charming!"

  ……

Hunter and the others were excited while drinking and talking. Olaf also took a sip with curiosity. He felt that the taste of the two wines was different from that of later generations of baijiu shochu. Maybe it was the ordinary distillation technique, the taste was strong, and the alcohol content was higher. The liquor of later generations is much worse, roughly at the level of more than 30 degrees.

   "This wine is okay to drink. It has a higher strength than beer and wine, and maybe a bit higher than whiskey. I think many people will fall in love with it."

   Put down the cup, Olaf said with a soft tut.
