624 Waiting(1/3)

  Within a week, Duke Thales settled down in Star Lake Castle, but the lessons for the heir of the kingdom could not be left behind (Tiles sighed deeply).

 “Language itself is a competent historian, it records the history of the past.”

Grand Bachelor Bona is conscientious and conscientious. Despite his advanced age, he still insists on coming to Star Lake Castle once a week to teach Thales grammar classes. This makes His Highness the Duke very embarrassed, especially since he knows that at this moment, from Yongxing City to Star Lake

Fortress, the biggest resistance and obstacle is far more than the distance between urban and rural areas.

"In the ancient times when imperial language was prevalent, the empire was prosperous and the grain was plentiful. Agricultural production accounted for a huge part of the composition of the language. You see, just in this small textile house, from loom to winding, there are many things in it.

It has derived many words that are commonly used in later generations, some of which, at first glance, we would never think of being related to agriculture, animal husbandry, and textiles..."

 Fortunately, the old bachelor felt much more energetic after leaving the city. He often took Thales into nearby fields or farmers on a whim, and there were ready-made teaching materials at his fingertips.

"Pursue, Your Highness the Duke, the origin and history behind words and words, which will allow you to master the tricks of using them faster," Bachelor Bona sighed. "Believe me, this will be very interesting, allowing you to see through the so-called expressions."

the truth."

After Academician Bona first set an example of not being shaken by politics, other teachers were also deeply inspired, gradually returned to normal, and came to the castle for classes. Many of them were very excited to visit Xinghu Castle, and some even

He took the initiative to stay the night.

“Production and life are the sources of mathematics! When we arrive at Xinghu Castle, we can study the mysteries of mathematics wholeheartedly and without any distractions!”

In math class, Bachelor Julio looked out the window at the clear blue Star Lake, his eyes almost bursting with laughter.

But Thales knew that what the bachelor was really unaccustomed to was the formal and strict atmosphere of Mindis Hall. On the contrary, he was more comfortable in Star Lake Castle on the outskirts of the countryside.

 It’s just a pain for Thales.

"Exactly, we mentioned last time that in the navigation industry, captains often need a lot of complicated multiplication and division calculations to determine the relationship between direction, orientation and time. This involves a question, how do we make the complicated multiplication and division calculations,

How about simplifying it into convenient and easy-to-understand addition and subtraction operations? A wise man in ancient times left a genius idea. If we can derive the power of the multiplication separately as the object of the operation..."

The prince could no longer bear it and slapped the table:

“That’s right, Maester Julio! I have a big, big, big math question!”

Julio’s expression changed. He put away his charcoal and sat upright:

"yes?"

Thales hooked his hand, and Rolf immediately came over with a stack of brochures in his arms.

"These account books were given to me by Baron Quentin. They record the current population, land, output and taxation of Star Lake Castle. The numbers are complicated and have made me very anxious and sleepless these days." Thales held it up (stunned)

Julio, who was stunned, sincerely handed one of the farm maps into his hands, "And I urgently need a talented person to check, summarize, summarize and answer for me..."

 Julio's eyes widened: "No, Your Highness, I am your teacher, and I am here to teach you..."

 But Thales is extremely sincere:

“No, Julio, you are not only my teacher, you are also the person in my castle who knows the most about numbers and calculations at this moment, and is closest to the mysteries and tricks of numbers. I believe that you can help the people of Star Lake Castle.”

Julio was a little moved: "Well, thank you for your appreciation. I may be able to help you a little bit, but I can't compress your class time. After all, this is related to the course study and ability development of the heir of the kingdom..."

"These account records are related to the happiness and well-being of my people, and they are also my official business," Thales sighed, "Look at this beautiful land, are you willing to let the people here starve?

Do you think, as the Duke of Xinghu, should I consider my own ability and quality first, or the happiness and well-being of the people of the kingdom?"

“What you say makes sense, and I admire your highness’s selfless ambition, but it still doesn’t work…”

 “I’ll give you an extra salary increase, twice as much.”

“Your Highness, you really love the people like a son, shall we start now?”

 “But on credit.”

“What? Your Highness, eh, wait a minute, you’re not skipping math class to reduce the time, are you?”

"How could it be? By the way, this is the book "Alien" you recommended before. The story about Prince Heiman being sacrificed is very interesting..."

“No, when did I recommend it to you... No, this is a banned book! Where did you find it?”

“The Forbidden Books Collection of the Sunset Temple. By the way, I also found this, the complete Gonghai City Enlightenment Collection by Saint Lisieux.”

"What? The complete volume of Saint Lisieux's "Enlightenment Collection"? Your Highness, can you let me see it? Wait, the forbidden book library? No, how did you borrow it?"

“To be precise, I didn’t borrow it. Can you help me look at these field account books?”

“I can’t, it’s class time now! Didn’t borrow it? How did you get it?”

"It's a pity. The little nun who guards the forbidden books has to check the inventory once a year. Calculating the time, I will return the "Collection of Enlightenment" next month. Tsk tsk, what a pity. Let's continue the class, bachelor. Bachelor? Hu

Maester Leo? What's wrong with you?"

“Woo, your highness, woo, I understand, please give me the account book, I will take a look...”

  In contrast, the theology classes that were also moved to the countryside also showed another side.

"It doesn't matter, it's nothing. Sunset will not punish you for this. On the contrary, Sunset is tolerant and kind, and she will pity your misfortune... Just don't believe in that name anymore. Instead of hoping for external things, it is better to believe in your own hands.

Enough food and clothing."

Priest Megan comforted a shivering farmer who was tied up with five flowers in a warm voice. The latter was reported by the steward at the farm, saying that he was kneeling in the field waving a torch in the middle of the night, cutting the neck of a sheep and chanting

An unknown mysterious name prays for good weather and productive fields.

 This actually made Huaiya quite unhappy.

"You just let him go? Even if he is superstitious and heretical and disrespects the sunset?"

The attendant looked angrily at the frightened farmer who was returning home with the support of his wife and children.

"The temple has been investigated clearly," Megan prayed without looking back, "It is not a heresy, it is just a kind of folk belief that has existed for a long time, especially popular in Cliffland, and that poor farmer happened to be a child when he was a child.

Moved from Yadi."

Huaiya glanced at Thales:

"so?"

 Priest Meghan finished her prayers and looked back, her tone filled with both teaching and reproach.

 “Our history is not broken, dear Squire Castle.”

“Even the goddess of the setting sun must shine behind the brilliance of the Ming Shen and the Holy Sun, and perhaps the Sun will take part of it.”

Megan looked at the farmers and craftsmen who were busy coming and going in the farm:

“Look at them, their ancestors have been bound to this land for generations, farming, animal husbandry, farming and weaving, and this has been the case since the time of the gods.”

"So in the fields and countryside, ancient gods and old beliefs, and even superstition and heretical worship are naturally passed down from generation to generation, and it is difficult to leave. But this is not their fault, and they are not disrespectful. They are just habits, just ignorance, and just ignorance, but it is by no means a crime.

.”

Meghan shows a smile:

“This is why we must be charitable, tolerant, preach relentlessly, and persist in educating.”

 Sister Nia behind her is full of recognition and admiration.

 “Well, I’m not embarrassing the farmer, it’s just...”

 Waiya looked at Thales:

"A few days ago, because Your Highness doubted a scripture, you scolded them and punished them with copying and memorizing, without mercy. However, they believed in different practices in the fields, but you comforted them with gentle words and opened the door to them."

  “That doesn’t seem fair?”

Megan raised her head and looked at the setting sun in the west.

"fair."

 “What is fairness, Squire Castle?”

"Is it the prince who broke the law with you, but I gave you the same attitude, punishment and price?"

"Even if you and he can afford the price, the size is completely different?"

Huaiya was stunned.

 The old priest looked at Thales and Huaiya with a stern expression:

 “Remember, my Wyatt Castle, in the name of God, always remember.”

 “You should be harsh to the strong and merciful to the weak.”

 “You should be stingy with the rich and generous with the poor.”

 “You should be ruthless to the merchants and kind to the farmers.”

 “Be kind to the powerful and talk politely to the common people.”

“Be wary of those who wear armor and hold swords, but be kind to those who hold hoe and push plow.”

Hearing this, Huaiya couldn't help but put the exposed sword back under his clothes.

“To make the balance stable and balanced, you need to move the weight to the lighter end.”

Megan stared at Wyatt:

 “This is the supreme message given by the Sunset Goddess to the Revival King through the dying words of Prophet Mohasa.”

After hearing this, Thales saluted seriously:
