Chapter 114 Interlude: Tran Mathematics Competition (1)

In the previous casino, Xu Shan sat on a chair and wrote out math problems. These accumulated problems will be officially recorded in the normal question bank after being checked by the dealers.

They are preparing for the Holy Day Celebration. The entire casino has revolved around the dean and served his plan.

The dealers are also intellectuals.

People who can't do arithmetic are only qualified to serve tea and water here. No, there is no place for them to serve tea and water. They can only stand guard at the door and say "Welcome to the guests."

These dealers with rich experience in mathematics and gambling showed difficulty when facing the math problems raised by Xu Shan.

And Xu Shan was also looking through the textbooks here, and based on the feedback from the dealers, he also confirmed the difficulty of his own questions and controlled the difficulty of the questions within a stable limit.

This is Xu Shan's plan, to invest funds in a math competition on the day of the Holy Day Celebration, and sincerely invite students of Tran who meet the age to come and try.

The top 100 winners can get 50 gold and an acceptance letter from their territory. If they refuse the admission, they can get 10 gold and their qualification will be postponed.

The top 10 can get 100 gold, and also have an acceptance letter and four years of free tuition, which cannot be transferred.

The top three can also get weekly guidance and teaching from the dean on the basis of the previous ones.

Those who did not get a place also have consolation prizes and various small gifts. It’s a pity that the territory does not have any special products at this time, otherwise this is a great opportunity for publicity.

All the gambling money was invested by Xu Shan in this project.

Perfect.

It will not arouse any suspicion.

These children who have just become adults will think that this is an opportunity they have fought for, and they are hopeful about it, and they are also curious about the outside world.

The engineering college of the territory has not been expanded, but it is small but complete, and it is sufficient to provide education for 100 or even 200 students... If it doesn’t work, let your lord let Chongshan and Changheng help him take the class, and the courses are absolutely enough.

In this way, he converted the money he earned from the casino into high-quality students and provided talents for the territory.

It would be harmful to give so many resources directly to the lord, and converting them into high-quality students to prepare for the industrialization of the territory was the best solution Xu Shan could think of. As long as one out of ten of these children who are talented in mathematics is left and willing to work for the territory, it will be of great benefit.

The current average knowledge/education level of the territory, let's put it this way, junior high school students can be considered high-level intellectuals.

As for other territories of the same era, the education level is quite burning books and burying scholars.

And these students from Teran, although they are from church schools, they also study seriously until adulthood.

Definitely high-level intellectuals.

For this reason, he spent a lot of money to buy off the newspapers in the city and the bishops, and let them promote this activity in their dioceses. Among them, the old dealer also made a lot of efforts for his plan.

'Mr. Xu, a well-known foreign educator, is preparing to hold a mathematics competition recently. '

'Mr. Xu discussed mathematics problems cordially with the local patriarch. ’

He has become famous in the Holy City during this period, and his own skills are also strong. The patriarch has similar interests with him, saving him a lot of money, and the publicity effect is also very good.

Xu Shan is a little proud of his plan.

As the dean of the college, although his research ability is not as good as that of the scientific research director, he is a little better than the scientific research director in planning activities and projects and management ability.

The organizers of the event can directly use the people of the casino, from waiters to invigilators to hosts.

They have their own set of anti-cheating.

The scheduled personnel of various industries, blacksmiths, carpenters, tailors, and chefs were also completed at a very fast speed by the old dealers of the casino using their own connections. Of course, they are not very willing to go to an unknown land with Xu Shan.

These technical workers are still free people after all, and they are not willing to go to lands they don’t know.

It’s very troublesome. Xu Shan had never considered this before, and the old dealers were powerless to do anything about it.

This is understandable. After all, they go there to make money, not to die. Some territories are so dangerous that even the Orthodox Church dare not go there. If they, the civilians, go there, they will never come back and will die.

To confirm the safety of your territory, you need to get a certificate from the local Orthodox Church, which will prove that your territory is safe. The credibility of the certificates issued by different churches varies. For example, the credibility of the Goddess of Life is the highest, and the Church of Light ranks last.

The territory with the Orthodox Church proves that they at least follow the rules.

Only with the certificate, they are willing to go.

Ji Lin's territory happens to have a church of the Goddess of Life that can issue such a safety certificate. After contacting the territory errand specialist Wu Bai and getting the certificate, these technical workers are willing to pack their bags and prepare to leave.

The other part of the slave laborers, fishermen, do not have so many requirements. They are slaves, and a contract document represents their lives.

Life and death are not decided by them.

Slave trading is not allowed in the Holy City, but slavery still exists widely in this broken world. As for where the old dealer got these slaves, Xu Shan did not ask much.

Following their lord can provide them with a stable meal.

Four hundred and thirty-one fishermen.

Originally, four hundred fishermen were needed, but they seemed to be sold with their families in the whole village, so Xu Shan bought them all and did not purchase other slaves.

The territory now has a population of 3,600, and the daily meat consumption is already a large number. Simply relying on musketeers to go out hunting can no longer provide enough meat. Ecological recovery takes time. After hunting, it takes a long time to restore the meat supply in an area.

The food obtained through hunting will only become less and less.

In order to obtain meat supply, these shooters with hunting spiders can only continue to go deeper and conduct indiscriminate sweeps around.

Just barely withstood this surge in population meat consumption.

In the way of exhausting the pond to catch fish.

That's why Ji Lin urgently needs a large number of fishermen to develop marine biological resources. Fisheries have always been one of the important means of obtaining meat. It's too late to develop animal husbandry now. The ready-made fishery can bring rich meat income.

"Mr. Xu..."

A young croupier walked up to him, looking a little restrained.

"Can I go to school..."

Xu Shan smiled, indicating that he understood, and pointed to the pile of discarded test papers over there.

"Okay, if you can get 90 points on any of the papers over there, I will accept you as my student."

The dealer was immediately discouraged when he thought of the difficulty above. He could barely get 90 points in total for so many times.

Xu Shan had considered taking these dealers back to use. But they were too old and their outlook on life had been fixed. Except for a few extremely talented guys, Xu Shan would not take too many of them away.

The tables and chairs in the casino had been cleared and replaced with banners and various decorations to be used in the Holy Day celebration.

"Hey, hey, hey, this banner is not sewn right, return it to the tailor shop and let them change it!"

"What, the typesetting for printing is wrong? Go and change it quickly!"

The old dealer stood in the casino, put on a vigorous suit, and shouted at others like an old boy. He hadn't been so passionate for a long time. This kind of work, which was completely different from his usual work, could actually arouse his interest.

Very interesting.

The old dealer is very motivated.
