I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 229 Clever Slave

No matter when or where, ( ) will always be your most loyal reading companion.

Originally, Li Mosi had considered the acceptability of the people and planned to teach them the ideas first.

If we integrate these ideas into the rules and regulations, and offer some benefits to the people, they should have little difficulty accepting them.

However, explaining the ideas takes a lot of time.

It will take some time before the people are able to live according to the rules.

This does not align with their need to quickly establish a new organizational structure among their citizens.

Then we can only start by teaching arithmetic.

Even if the pronunciation differs from the local pronunciation, it won't be too difficult.

After all, there are only a few syllables.

In any case, it's faster to learn than phonetic writing or thought processes.

Finally, the three of them discussed it and decided that since none of the townspeople, leaders, or clansmen had systematically learned arithmetic, they might as well teach them all together in a "nighttime study" program.

It just so happens that Li Mosi is also interested in promoting universal education.

Now that we've all traveled to this place, if we don't implement universal education, we'll truly become useless.

In short, we should start building a prototype of a night school now so that the people know they need to receive education and be selected, which will make it easier to expand education in the future.

"Wow? Are we going to learn something new?"

"We're not using the old method to select people anymore?"

"Then I've learned it all for nothing?"

Listening to the goblins' squeaking and wailing, Zi Yi felt a headache coming on.

"Get lost!"

He opened his mouth and roared.

"That was a demand I made of you cubs last time! Do you think you can stay cubs forever?!"

The goblins fell silent instantly.

"It's already quite good that the cubs can catch rabbits! Now you're warriors, and I want you to follow me and hunt wild boars! Treat this new content as the wild boar! Defeat it!"

Zi Yi's gaze swept over all the goblins present.

"Can you guys keep up with me?!"

"able!"

"I'll definitely keep up!"

"Listen to the leader!"

The goblins instinctively responded with shouts.

Following the chief, we've killed not only wild boars, but even trolls!

"Good! Very spirited! This is my warrior!"

Zi Yi nodded slightly.

"Eat quickly! We'll start learning after we finish! The first seven to learn will become team leaders!"

"yes!"

"I understand!"

"Eat right away!"

The goblins' commotion left the other residents stunned.

Are they going to eat people?

Seeing the goblin suddenly start eating voraciously, the others realized what was happening and continued eating their own food.

I still have things to do later.

After dinner, Li Mosi used the outer wall of the manor chief's cabin as a blackboard, pasted two large numerical tables on the wall with beeswax, and then used a pen and even a rather sexy twig as a pointer.

The number tables are a multiplication table (nine times nine) and a table of natural numbers from one to one hundred.

Each of the two tables contains example calculations related to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Zi Yi had the people and clansmen sit in groups and then distributed the other teaching materials.

This met with resistance from the people.

"Sir! My hands are still dirty!"

"I dare not take it!"

The people, upon seeing the prepared Xuan paper, shared the same emotions as the artisans of Valos Manor.

It took only half a second for them to go from being surprised to seeing the paper to refusing to touch it directly; some even didn't dare to look at it at all.

Zi Yi didn't bother to say anything more to them.

He directly summoned a group of goblins to take the teaching materials.

Anyway, anyone can take this thing.

After finishing the teaching materials, he led the tribesmen to light several bonfires to ensure that the group could see clearly at night.

After completing all the preparations, he walked back to Li Mosi's side.

Li Moss handed him the straight branch in her hand, then led Hagi Saint and Zi An to the side to watch his performance.

clap clap clap!

Zi Yi grabbed a tree branch and banged it against the wooden wall.

"Come on! Everyone, look up! If you really can't see clearly, look at the paper in front of you and read it aloud!"

"Yes, sir."

"You can see it clearly..."

"I'll watch this one instead..."

The responses from the clansmen and their leaders were quite chaotic, but Ziyi didn't need to pay attention to them.

He looked at the people who were still looking down at the ground, walked to the nearest one, and gently tapped the man's shoulder with his pointer.

"Why aren't you watching?!"

The leader was a thin, young man.

He carefully avoided looking at the Xuan paper and looked up at Zi Yi.

"My lord, we are slaves. To look directly at the lord's valuables is to be seen as greed..."

Although his words implied a desire to avoid punishment, Zi Yi saw no fear or evasion in the young man's eyes.

"Enough! I don't want to hear your reasons!"

He walked back to his original spot, pointed at the textbook with his pointer, and shouted.

"Regardless of your previous rules, I am now the master of this territory! Just do as I tell you to do!"

The Stern family is dead; they have no chance of making decisions anymore.

"Yes, sir!"

clap clap clap!

Seeing that everyone had looked up, Zi Yi tapped the outer wall a few more times with his pointer.

"Repeat after me! One! This means one, it means one!"

He repeated it twice not because he activated Echo Mode, but simply because human language and goblin language are ultimately different.

Even though the goblin tribe has acquired many new words due to the previous leader, the pronunciation of those words will eventually revert to their most familiar combination of squeaking sounds.

"by--"

"Alas?"

"art!"

"one--"

Both the newcomers and the existing residents found it rather strange.

Don't they have one?

Why pronounce it with a different sound?

As soon as they uttered the sound, all the goblins, including Zi Yi, looked over.

Why are all these humans reciting in the same tone?

clap clap clap!

Zi Yi frowned and knocked on the wall a few more times.

"Don't mispronounce it! Look at my teeth! One—"

"one--"

"by--"

"Alas!"

"what?"

This time, the goblins did not speak.

About a quarter of the new settlers and the local population are right.

But most of the remaining ones are still wrong.

Zi Yi knew that his painful time had begun again.

……

"Listen carefully! This is pronounced 'one hundred'! It means ten tens!"

"Eh Bai?"

"Break it open!"

"One bow!"

Zi'an looked utterly helpless.

Although she didn't have to teach, just listening from the sidelines was enough to exhaust her.

The saintess standing next to her wanted to curse even more.

These humans are so stupid!

Goblin was able to read the pinyin chart fluently after only half a morning of reading.

Why can't humans who keep saying goblins are beasts even read numbers correctly?

Haki Saint barely managed to stand, supporting himself on Li Moss's shoulder with one hand.

"Why don't you just choose from the children of the artisans? Why involve all the people? They simply can't learn it."

When the craftsmen set off, they did not assign any of the three old managers; they were simply told to stay put.

She had heard the craftsman's plan and felt that it was within her understanding.

Why would intelligent people bring ordinary citizens along?

This left her somewhat puzzled.

The ordinary people are so stupid that all they know how to do is farm; she wants them to take on official positions, but they can't learn how.

This made it so that when she disliked the old managers, she couldn't replace them even if she wanted to.

The craftsman should understand, right?

"Take a close look, who are the people who learn quickly?"

Li Moss did not answer Haki Saint's question, but pointed to the new people and the leaders.

"One, two, three, four..."

Zi Yi began to lead them in reading from one to one hundred.

Zi'an blinked.

"Those who learn quickly seem to be mostly children? There are also a few slightly older ones."

She can tell just by listening to the tone of her voice.

If we were to break it down further, the children from families of artisans, manor lords, and soldiers would have the strongest learning abilities, followed by children around five or six years old, and then adults and older children from ordinary households.

There are always exceptions.

Li Mosi pointed to the slave that Zi Yi had recently slapped with a whip.

"Don't you think that slave is quite clever?"
