Chapter 38

[Chapter 38]

Recognition Zhao Hai didn’t want to know what happened outside the thatched cottage. He believed that Merlin and the others would handle it. Now Zhao Hai is really tired, and he just wants to sleep well.

He took out a quilt from the warehouse and put it on the bed. Zhao Hai immediately lay on the bed. He fell asleep within a few minutes. He was really tired. If he exercised a little more, he would not be able to stand it, not to mention such a tense situation today.

The slaves outside the thatched hut also rested. It is rare to have such a chance to rest. Naturally, they will not say anything. In addition, the ground is covered with a soft quilt, which is much better than the hay. Soon the whole space fell into a quiet place. In the middle, even the stone and wood that stood in front of the door to look after Zhao Hai sat on the ground and dozed.

More than two hours later, Merlin and the others woke up. Merlin quietly walked to the thatched hut, opened the door and glanced at Zhao Hai, and found that Zhao Hai was sleeping soundly. She quietly closed the door again, glanced at the slaves, and found that Some of them are awake and sitting there wondering what to do.

Although Merlin could teach them to read, she didn’t teach them now. If she taught these people to read, she would have to make a sound. She didn’t want to wake Zhao Hai.

However, Merlin still noticed that the radishes she planted before going to bed had already emerged, which made Merlin very surprised. It was the first time she saw how the plants in the space grew, and the speed was too fast. .

Merlin couldn’t help squatting on the edge of the field and looked at the radish seedlings that had just grown. These seedlings were very strong, and the state of the land was also very good. At first glance, they knew they were very healthy.

There was also Meg who did the same thing as Merlin. Meg squatted beside Merlin and whispered to Merlin: “Grandma, why did this magic raisin sprout so quickly? I heard people say that magic vegetables are very difficult to grow. Why is it so simple here?”

Merlin smiled slightly: “Young master told me a long time ago that when you grow crops in this space, the maturity time will be greatly shortened, but I didn’t expect it to be so short.”

“The magic radish you mentioned is called radish in my space. It is the lowest thing in space. It matures every eight hours.” Zhao Hai’s voice came leisurely.

Merlin and Meg were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads to see that Zhao Hai had come out, standing behind them, Merlin stood up hurriedly and said: “Master, is what you said true? This magic raisin is really eight. It can be matured for one season in an hour?”

Zhao Hai nodded, pointed to the corn that had grown ears and said, “Did you see those corns? The price of corn in space is higher than that of radishes. It takes fourteen hours to mature.”

Merlin and the others couldn’t help looking in the direction of Zhao Hai’s fingers. Now the corn is still in the growth stage, the leaves are green and black, and they look so vigorous.

Zhao Hai turned his head and said to Merlin: “The food in the space is enough to eat now, we’d better stay in the space for a while before going out, so as not to encounter those monsters after going out.”

Merlin nodded and said: ” Yes, what the young master said is right, now there is no need to worry about food in the space, and it will not rain, everyone can lay a floor outside, and there is nothing to live here for a few days.”

Zhao Hai nodded and turned his head to take a look. , those who were already awake, all stood up, looked at his slave respectfully, and sighed: “Grandma Merlin, you will teach them to read in a while, and I will go and build a few marching stoves, which will be used for a while. Cooking.”

This meal is not so easy to cook for these 100 people. Although Zhao Hai has put all the materials in the warehouse into the space, if he wants to feed these people, he has to build a When the cauldron comes, there is nothing in the space, so I can only build a simple marching stove.

Merlin looked at the slaves and said, “Master, let them do it. It’s not too short of time anyway. You can just take out the things. Then you can do everything.”

Zhao Hai looked The slaves glanced at them and nodded. If he let those slaves learn to write there now, and if he built a military stove here, I am afraid that those slaves would be frightened and would not be able to learn a single word.

Seeing Zhao Hai nodded, Merlin immediately organized people to start digging the stove. Fortunately, Zhao Hai packed all the supplies in the castle warehouse into the space warehouse, and now they have no shortage of tools.

More than 100 people eat, in fact, the marching stove does not need to be dug too much, only about ten, and the pots they use are all marching pots with brackets under them. They knew they were going to come here, so they prepared a lot of these iron pans. One was for them to use on their way here, and the other was for the slaves to use.

In fact, many slave owners use this kind of marching stove, because this kind of marching stove is the easiest. No matter where the slaves go to work, as long as two people carry the pot, they can cook directly in the place where they are working. This saves a lot of time.

The ten marching stoves will be set up soon, but they can’t be used now. Zhao Hai has to wait until the corn is mature before there will be burning materials in the space. Otherwise, they can only burn the wood they bought. But a good thing, it would be a pity if it burned.

Now Zhao Hai and the others are short of everything, and they still don’t know when Green will come back. After he comes back, they can go out and sell the radishes in their hands and exchange them for gold coins, and then they can buy wood or something. Now these wood in their hands , but what they had, Zhao Hai didn’t want to waste it like that.

Zhao Hai glanced at the set up marching stove, nodded, and then glanced at the slaves, then turned to Merlin and said, “Grandma Merlin, the corn is still more than two hours before it matures. During this period of time, You can teach everyone to recognize some words, and I will go to the room to rest.”

Merlin nodded, Zhao Hai walked into the room, Merlin watched Zhao Hai enter the room, and then said to the slaves, “Don’t worry, everyone, In about two hours, the corn will be mature, and you can eat at that time. In these two hours, everyone will learn to read with me…” Before

she could finish speaking, the slaves The buzz started, slaves can’t read, this is a common sense on the mainland, without the slave owner, the slaves will be taught to read, so for the slaves, the ability to read is a very sacred thing, now when I hear it All the slaves were taken aback when Merlin wanted to teach them to read.

Merlin said in a deep voice, “Quiet.” The

slaves immediately quieted down, and all of them looked at Merlin with excitement, Merlin continued, “Our Buda family is different from ordinary nobles, the young master is a benevolent person. , I have obtained the consent of the young master just now, if someone learns well and recognizes a lot of words in the process of learning and understanding, the young master can exempt him from his slave status, do you understand?”

The slaves became even more excited. , Zhao Hai can let him teach them to read and write, but now he even said that as long as they learn well, they can become commoners. For those slaves, this is simply a fall in the world, and then people tell you that as long as If you eat more, I will give you a bonus, go there to find such a good thing.

Merlin looked at them and continued, “Because the conditions are now available, I can only teach you to recognize some simple characters. In the two hours, I only taught you to recognize ten characters, but I ask you to recognize certain characters. You must be able to read and write.” After speaking, he picked up a few blank sheets of paper, took out a writing brush, and wrote a character on each blank sheet of paper, and taught these people what to say and how to write the character.

Now they don’t have a blackboard, so they can only teach these people by writing on white paper. Because there are too many people, only one word is written on each piece of white paper, so that the word is big enough, even if the person sitting behind can also be seen.

Meg has been following Merlin’s side, watching these people study seriously, including Ju and Ann. Although Ju and An used to be commoners and could go to school, their family had no money to pay for teaching fees, so the two of them never went to school. Now they have such an opportunity, how could they let it go.

Meg had been to the schools of the Empire before, but she went to aristocratic schools. She found that these slaves were completely different from those students in the school. Those aristocratic students in the school regarded school as a kind of torture, and went to school. At the time, I was very inactive. When it came to the end of get out of class, everyone was very happy. I wish I could play at home every day. Adam was such a person in the past.

But these slaves are completely different. When these slaves are reading, they are very excited and very focused. They are afraid that they will not be able to remember. Because they have nothing to write in their hands, they will use their fingers on the ground. Paddle, that earnest energy, so that Meg was deeply moved.

Wood and Stone also looked at these people. Although the two of them were not very smart before, but because they were adopted by the Buda family, they also recognized the characters, but when they recognized the characters, they were not as serious as these slaves. One is because they are young, the other is because they are not smart enough, and they have to learn a word several times to remember it, and the third is because it is too easy to obtain.

It’s too easy to get it, and often don’t know how to cherish it. That’s how they are. At the beginning, they recognized the characters with Adam. Adam himself is not a smart person. Although he is smarter than the two of them, Adam doesn’t like to recognize it very much. Chinese characters, so it is also necessary to recognize each character several times to learn it, which is exactly the same as them, so that the two people will not be forced to recognize all the characters. Both of them couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed.

Merlin naturally saw this. She suddenly understood how correct Zhao Hai’s decision was. These slaves don’t know how to read, so they have no culture, so even if they want to contribute to the Buda family, they will help because of their limited ability. It’s not too busy, but as long as they can read, they will help the Buda family even more in the future, and now the Buda family needs everyone in the family to exert their greatest strength to help the family. , so that the Buda family can be rejuvenated. So she taught very seriously.
