Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 137:

Geltenling was naturally the first place to implement “popular surnames”. The day after the Northwest Republic announced this policy, Geltenling also announced the same policy, but compared with the Northwestern Republic, Geltenling’s approach is slightly different-only at least settled here more than Only the leaders of a generation can enjoy this benefit, not even the settled adventurers.

This is because Geertengling does not need more talents. The territory is currently stable and peaceful, with no plans to further expand production, nor the willingness to expand abroad. Relying on the group of officials with the Church of the God of Knowledge as the core, it is enough to rule the place, and it can rule very well.

The literacy rate of the members of the Church of the God of Knowledge is very high. Needless to say, the priests, the more core believers are all literate. Not only that, they also regard teaching and educating people as the best way to express piety to the gods. As long as they have money and leisure, they are keen to teach as volunteers. So in terms of the literacy rate of the people, Geertengling is the highest in the entire main plane, even surpassing Void City.

According to the statistics of previous years, Gertenling has almost completely eliminated illiteracy. Even the farmer in the field can recognize hundreds of words, understand simple announcements, and write his own name.

This level has surpassed that of many developing countries on the planet. With such a profound background and a little government affairs, what is it?

The residents of Gertenling are also very proud of their education level. Walking on the street, you can often see someone taking out a book to read in some spare time. Although they are not reading travel notes written by retired adventurers or novels written by bards, it is a good thing to be able to read anyway.

Reading makes one wise, reading makes one wise, reading makes one wise, reading makes one noble… In the doctrine of the God of Knowledge, reading is simply the best thing in the world. When Sui Xiong first saw this doctrine , I always feel a bit like “the book has its own golden house, the book has its own thousand bells, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu…”.

Regardless of whether there are so many benefits in the book, the people of Gerten really have greatly improved their wisdom and cultivation through reading. So even though they are tall and tall, they are like barbarians migrating from the northern ice sheet, but in fact they are all knowledgeable and civilized people-from a good point of view, when negotiating with them, you don’t have to worry about getting smashed. Fist; from a bad point of view, if you want to fool them, the degree of difficulty is at least a master.

Most businessmen don’t plan to compare their flickering ability with the people of Gerten. The bargaining between them generally revolves around more real issues, such as quality, cost, profit, etc., and sometimes Someone picked up a slate, wrote the calculations on it with a charcoal pencil, and used actual data to illustrate the problem.

This kind of commercial atmosphere can only be seen here. If you leave here, you will never want to see it in any city on the mainland.

After all… the merchants led by Geerteng ran elsewhere, and almost everyone was qualified to be a scholar.

In fact, Sui Xiong can clearly see that almost every adult in Geertengling has one or two levels of scholarship. This place can be said to be the “Cultural Capital”.

Sui Xiong floated in the air, smiling and admiring the sight of the cultural capital, nodding from time to time, very applauded.

“Your Majesty, the construction of this Geerteng collar is not bad.” The air around him was slightly fluctuating, and the same invisible Woll appeared next to him. He said with a smile, “Whenever I see the sights here, I feel very proud. I haven’t done a big thing in my life, but as long as I have this one, my life will be worth it.”

“Your words are unlucky! As an immortal god, your life has just begun.”

Walker smiled, and instead of arguing about this topic, he talked about another thing: “By the way, Ollion told me some time ago that she is not young anymore. The younger generations have also grown up. If she always occupies the seat of the lord, some of them are not very attractive, so she plans to retire and concentrate on the work of the church. What do you think?”

Sui Xiong was taken aback for a moment, only to remember that Olianne was actually almost seventy years old, and there was no doubt that he was an old man in this world. Even the younger generations in the Gerten family are actually in their forties or fifty years old – many of those in her generation later have even died.

“Who is she going to pass on the Viscount’s seat to whom?”

“Tang Geerten, nicknamed’Flying Fish’, is a young man who is very good at fighting in the water and has also been a maritime merchant for a while.” With a wave of his hand, Sui Xiong suddenly saw Geerten Small Commodity Market In the central office building, there is a shimmering middle-aged man with a short beard, who looks rather smart and capable.

Even though this Tang Gelten is called a young man, he is actually not too young, about thirty-four-five years old. Because he had done business on the water, there were obvious red and swollen marks on the corners of his eyes, which was the result of being blown too much by the wind. He is slightly burly taller than the average person, and the joints of his hands are particularly thick, but the whole body is quite well-proportioned, and he can see that he is extraordinary.

What is especially noticeable is his bright eyes, which are not only full of confidence and wisdom, but also a hint of cunning that is not easy to see. It can be seen that he is not the kind of “gentleman can be deceived.” The good old man, but a figure with a lot of means.

It is indeed more reassuring to hand over the territory to such a person to inherit.

“By the way, this kid has a bad habit.” Woll suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile, “He is very rich, but he prefers to cry poor. “Flying fish who loves to cry poor” this The name~IndoMTL.com~Many people have heard of it.”

Sui Xiong smiled: “It’s not a bad thing to like crying poor, it’s better than to like luxury and compare.”

“The problem is, the degree to which he is crying is relatively…” Wo La thought for a while, waved his hand, and a scene appeared in the sky. It was this “Flying Fish A Tang” chatting with adventurers in the tavern. Time.

A Tang: Oh, I’m so poor!

Adventurer A: Everyone is very poor, and no one is rich these days.

The second adventurer: You have at least a stable job and a good income. In contrast, those of us who do a little and take a little are really insecure.

A Tang: My job is very mediocre. I did a business in the first half of the year-I am worried that I will be unemployed if this continues.

Adventurer A: If you are unemployed, you will be unemployed. Where can the capable people find a job!

Adventurer B: I know that there are a few chambers of commerce who want to hire someone who is literate and who is quite tough. Depending on your size and hands, you should be a bit real. If you want to find a job, I can help you introduce it.

A Tang: Thank you! Today’s wine is my treat!

First Adventurer: Haha, then I want to drink an extra bottle!

The second adventurer: I’ll forget it, I’m almost drinking it. By the way, what are you doing now? Doing a business in half a year is not very safe.

A Tang: I am a garden wholesaler. I built a garden for an earl in the first half of this year. The total amount of business was more than 20,000 gold coins…

The two adventurers furiously went away.

The scene ends here, Sui Xiong smiled and shook his head.

This flying fish soup, really…has personality

I don’t know if he will continue to be a lord in the future? If this is still the case, maybe someone will be beaten to death one day…
