Chapter 279: Basic policy

"Fifty years ago, there was no concept of the North. From an administrative perspective, there are many independent polities and countries here. But the demons from the abyss suddenly invaded and destroyed the place where we live.
According to a small amount of historical records, the 'Iron Curtain' was established by demons to facilitate their own offense. The 'Iron Curtain' blocked the sun, leaving the area within 400 kilometers south of the ice field into a long darkness. "
Zhou Qingfeng briefly described the situation of the 'Iron Curtain' based on what he knew. Although his understanding of the 'Iron Curtain' was very limited, the following group of students listened attentively because the latter knew less.
The descendants of the worm had mentioned the word 'plane' before his death, but Zhou Qingfeng did not intend to talk about it casually.
Someone soon asked ‘what is the sun’.
There is a "gate of truth", and there is really no common sense problem that can stump Zhou Qingfeng. The trainees' questions quickly turned into a large science popularization of natural knowledge, most of which was unheard of information.
After all the trainees asked questions, a whole day passed. Zhou Qingfeng was very pleased to find that many students were taking notes, and suddenly felt that it was necessary to produce a set of 100,000 Whys, which is common knowledge.
Before going to the night, have a good dinner as a reward, Zhou Qingfeng announced that today's exam is over, and those who can take the exam are all excellent. The first question, Lorraine, will receive a scholarship.
scholarship? !!
When Zhou Qingfeng handed over two gold coins to Lorraine in public, the students in the first period were collectively shocked. Lorraine was even more happy to pass out. She was screaming for a scholarship, but she didn't think she could get it.
These are two gold coins. They are a huge asset to the poor. Lorraine was not worth the price even as a slave. But now just asking questions, the sixteen-year-old girl got it.
Other male students were even more jealous and equally shocked. The human life in the North is not as valuable as a cow, a pig, or a dog, and women are as cheap as soil. Women among the pariahs can't even speak in front of the aristocracy, otherwise they will go beyond control.
But now a woman came out, stood in front of a dozen male trainees, and received a prize from a nobleman. According to this woman, she is just a civilian from a small town, even a pariah.
Is this woman's appearance fancy?
Male trainees turned their eyes and paid attention to Lorraine's appearance—skinny little girl. Her hair was rough and dull. After eating for a few days, she still had vegetables in her face, which was not beautiful at all.
On weekdays, Lorraine is desperately studying, but her foundation is very poor, and she can't make a leap forward in a few days. In addition, the students who have the best secondary school knowledge do not even have the qualifications for the exam, and it cannot be said that they are rewarded because of their grades.
After much thought, no one thought. In fact, even Seth couldn't figure it out. When he knew that Lorraine was dressed as a man to apprentice, his first reaction was to drive this woman of unknown origin away. But Zhou Qingfeng was so pleased that he got the treasure.
"A woman comes to study? This is good news!"
In fact, Seth knew one thing before the exam-as long as the girl named Lorraine did not perform too badly, her scholarship was determined to be hers. Just because she is a girl.
Seth also questioned side by side, saying that although the girl named Lorraine studied hard, her foundation was actually poor and it was not worth training.
But Uncle Zhou scolded Seth and instead kicked out the former clerk on the key training list, adding the name of Lorraine himself. Not only did he admire Lorraine, he also announced that he would recruit more women as apprentices.
"Seth, you need to understand one thing. A group of bachelors may be able to fight the world, but there is no way to build a home. To make our forces develop better and go further, we need enough good women."
The training of the first batch of students was very successful. Zhou Qingfeng requested to continue to recruit the second batch of the third batch and even the fourth batch of students. He enforced that the gender ratios among students should be equal, and reduced the requirements for female students.
"This is an order, and it is the basic policy that I have set. You can understand and implement it. If you can't understand it, you must implement it. If you dare to yin and yang in your back, I will never spare you." But it's heavy.
Seth has no right to this order. He only knew that if he wanted to please his master, he would have to recruit more female apprentices. But with hundreds of thousands of people in this area, knowledgeable men are rare, and women are even scarcer.
Seth has new troubles, but he can still solve them. Roma, who works with him, has a difficult problem.
Since the purchase of goods at a premium of 50%, the market for Nuborg Castle has begun to fluctuate. Many businessmen were anxious, desperately trying to find Roma to sell.
Although Zhou Qingfeng said he was open to acquisitions, most of the lists he listed were materials that could be used directly and indirectly for war. However, as a northern trade center, Nuxibao has many local souvenirs that need to be sold.
At a 50 percent premium, the entire Banshee merchants were calling Roma for grandpa. But the noise was too loud. He was afraid that he would hide in his new home in the noble district.
Can hide from ordinary merchants, but not from the wealthy. His Excellency Jason, who had been a big help to Roma, could have come directly to him.
The middle-aged wizard who likes to wear a pointed hat came fiercely this time, red eyes, grabbed Roma's shoulders and shook, and yelled, "Rome, you're doing all those things in the back, this time it's exposed. I can't even save you. "
Roma has been making physical potions these days, and there are hidden servants controlled by Sofia. He makes money steadily and easily. Leng Buding was choked and drank by the Wizard of Jason, he was almost frightened-was the collusion with Zhou Qingfeng found out?
"Jason ... Her Jason." Roma held his arm against his back, his face bewildered with a crying expression, "You have to help me, I just want to make some money." And no other mind. "
"I know, but things are really big this time." Jason Wizard was loyal and frowning. "I really want to help you, but I really can't help. I can't afford this responsibility. I can only come now Let me know ... "
Do you want me to run away quickly? Was all my efforts in vain?
No ..., no!
Roma's throat was blocked and he was weak. He stood firmly by pulling Jason, but he was speechless. In the laboratory, the hermit who stopped busy also approached quietly, and seemed to hear more clearly.
The Jason Wizard also sighed and shook his head for a long time, and for a long time, he jumped out, "The only way now is for you to buy the goods in my hand. As long as I don't lose money, this is fine solve?"
Hey ...., the bull's head is wrong, what's the point?
