How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 201. A drawing princess (5) + Results of printing and a new era (1)

“...You mean what I think?”

“Strike the kingdom of Ernesia is a secret wish by revelation. The saintess must be well aware of that;

“The revelation has not changed since then. If that's the case, spreading our doctrine to Ernesia Kingdom is

definitely a longing

...

The reason why the Zelnian Castle Kingdom and the Ernesia Kingdom were inevitably hostile.

About the goal that can never be filled, the current priest is referring to it accurately.

“The dissatisfaction of believers is also growing.”

“...You're talking a little too much...

” No.”

In the end, when someone lesser than him tried to persuade him, Nelvania deliberately stopped it.

If you go overboard after saying this, it will become a small but stumbling block in the future.

A clear answer should be given here.

“I will answer you.”

Nelvania showed a calmer attitude than ever before and confided her thoughts... her views as a saint.

“We intend to spread our teachings to Ernesia Kingdom soon.”

Ohhhh...

I heard a small moan.

“In addition, revelation has not changed. Our wish does not change.”

“One… How will you teach the kingdom of Ernesia? To my shame, I don't see a way.”

“...I gave everyone anxiety thanks to my lack of communication.”

“then???????”

“There is a way.”

Everyone's eyes are on her.

“Already our god... has revealed to me the secrets to teach them.”

“...it's the first time I've heard of it.”

“It was an important revelation. I was going to announce it when the time is right, but it wouldn’t be bad to reveal it now.”

By no means does this have anything to do with the current fairy tale.

A means to achieve the long-cherished wish from the beginning.

Nelvenia decided to publicize the means to appease the priests.

step.

Before explaining it, she solemnly intended to take the oath.

“It should not be known. So let's take an oath here.”

It is a natural action.

If revelation leaks out here, everything becomes useless.

Therefore, she declared to the priests to take the oath of oath.

“I swear to remain silent.”

“I will swear the same.”

The priests spoke the words of the oath without hesitation.

The moment they violate this, they will become a public figure and pay a terrible price.

Knowing that, they won't break this oath.

After taking the oath of oath from all the priests, Nelvenia revealed the revelation.

“....more. God has given me this revelation.”

After she quietly explained.

“It is an unmistakable fact that, in the near future, divine punishment will fall upon the kingdom of Ernesia in the name of our holy god.”

At the same time, the priests in the conference room were trembling with excitement.

“It can’t be…

” “I see. If that's the case, then you won't be able to stop learning from us.”

dear baby

Rather than piety, it would be more correct to say that he harbored anticipation and madness about what would happen in the future.

No longer did they even notice the children's book in question.

However, Nelvenia indifferently passed them by as if she had no interest in their atmosphere.

This reaction was also expected for her.

“I order this revelation to be sealed as the highest secret of the Holy Land.”

Everyone prayed at her command.

Results of printing and the new era (1) Contrary to the price market of books that become cheaper as printing technology becomes more active, Arel's Grimm Fairy Tales business has left quite a profit.

In addition, neighboring countries began to pay attention to the printing technology he introduced that could produce such a large number of pictures.

Printing technology is never cheap.

The convenience it will bring and the usefulness when looking into the future have also attracted the attention of intellectuals in other countries.

When they were regretful that they would monopolize the technology again because they remembered the way Arel had taken until now.

“We intend to widely sell this printing technology to other countries.”

Everyone was surprised by Arel's formal announcement.

Of course, no one was against it.

Since then, the printing technology has been disclosed in earnest, and printing technology has been accepted even at a price that is not cheap in other countries.

Also, it was around that time that Arel proposed a policy to Ernesia's royal castle, feeling that he was a sidekick.

“Are you giving me a book?”

The village headman of the village located at the southwestern end of Ernesia Kingdom expressed his doubt while reflecting on the same words he had just said.

“Yes.”

The one who nodded and replied was an official dispatched from the royal castle.

He was visiting the village and notifying the village chief of the general facts in order to announce the new policy and also to convey the plan to apply it in earnest.

The contents of this time were as follows.

As a national project of the Kingdom of Ernesia, supplying more than a certain number of books to each city and village.

“...but a book? We do

n't have the money to pay for it...

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. It's not like that.”

The official smiled bitterly when he realized what the village chief was concerned about.

It seems that he is worried that he is forcibly purchasing the book or collecting rental fees.

“It's just that the kingdom distributes it to various villages, including your village, for free.”

“...Huh really?”

The village chief couldn't understand.

Aren't books originally expensive?

At least as far as he knew.

“I don’t know either. This time, the new book printing technology has been perfected. Thanks to that, the book now costs no more than a wad of slightly valuable paper.”

The village headman's eyes widened in surprise at those words.

And when I heard the real price, I was surprised again.

It's really cheap.

However, there is no way that ordinary people who are in a hurry to make a living can afford to buy books just because they are cheap.

Therefore, the official explained step by step that the kingdom deliberately distributes books to each village so that residents can read them at any time.

“However, don't forget Her Highness Arell Ernesia's generosity.”

Of course, I didn't miss that word.

Even if it was cheap, it would cost a lot of money to spread books all over the kingdom.

However, even after taking it, Arel expressed his position that he would directly help with the policy.

“...but I really don't know what to do with the magnanimity of the book.... We have very few people who can read this.”

Instead, what he worried about was that few people would read the books he distributed.

In the village, only she and a few young people can read.

The official nodded as if he was already aware of that fact.

“I guess so. Actually, that's not the only name that came down from the kingdom.”

“yes? What is that...

“At the same time as distributing the book, he told you to periodically teach the children of the village from now on.”

At that time, the village chief was genuinely surprised.

“Writing…. It reminds me of when I first learned to write.”

In the middle of a chat with Darman about the current state of the press, he said it out of the blue.

“You look like you're kind of fed up with remembering old memories, right?”

“I learned by being beaten by my master.”

“Oops.”

I sincerely sympathized as if I couldn't.

It seems to be true that merchants and students in occupations that require reading learn while being beaten.

“Every time I couldn't remember a word, I was beaten with a poker. To be honest, it would be more accurate to say that I learned to live.”

“Wow… that’s too much.”

On the one hand, I also understood.

An alchemist must also know how to interpret this or that book.

Of course, it is understandable that the teacher teaches so severely.

There are many more languages to read.

To some extent, I could have imagined the troubles Darman had suffered as a child.

“It’s hard to learn to read… so I have to gradually change that.”

“I agree.”

He put on a look of sincere wonder.

“Many people will appreciate Arel’s achievements.”

“Don’t say anything out of the blue, it’s embarrassing. Well... Originally, I didn't have to worry about that much.

I didn't even think about it.”

Sitting crookedly in my office chair, I flipped through a book I had recently started selling.

Quite a few kids should be reading this by now.

Or that someone read it.

“Education of writing…. Although it is necessary.”

“It is a difficult thing to teach.”

” that's right.”

Teaching letters in this era of high illiteracy is not so easy.

In every village, there are bound to be one or two people who can read.

For example, the elders or the young people who go to and from nearby cities to do business can read to some extent.

one and that's all

‘The illiteracy rate is high, but it's not easy to teach either.'

Teaching is not solved by just forcing it blindly.

As I mentioned before, I considered this level of illiteracy to be untouchable in my time.

step.

“For the sake of the future, it would be okay to write a number in advance.”

Originally, it was planned to only produce books using a printing press.

After all, if the framework is established like this, someone will step in and adjust the details according to the changed environment.

Illiteracy, for example.

As time passes, someone will naturally realize the necessity and raise their voices that they should focus on education.

That is the providence of the world.

That's why I didn't want to touch it until then.

There's not much benefit to me anyway.

“Again, I really had no idea.”

“Isn’t Arel-nim planning on doing this from the beginning?”

“no way? I didn't try to be that detailed.”

I may be misunderstanding, but I didn't even think about that at first.

“This time, it was purely a bonus and a whim, but...

There were quite a few benefits, including Grimm's Fairy Tale, so I thought of scattering this bonus a little elsewhere on this opportunity.

That is the plan to supply books to the whole of Ernesia Kingdom right now.

My father was also very happy when I revealed my well-conceived meaning and allowed it.

Even the oldest brother went so far as to say that he would take charge of this policy himself.

Perhaps it was because both of them truly felt that it was necessary.

However, supplying books alone cannot solve the illiteracy rate.

So, I added a few minor things.

That's it.

I picked them up from a rough pile on my desk.

“...on the educational vocabulary cards... It's an item for early childhood education...

Actually, I suddenly remembered this and took a picture of it with a side leg.

With the development of the printing press, making something like this was no longer a chore.

Use this to teach your children to write.

I suggested so.

In addition, a picture fairy tale was also supplied to induce interest in reading books in children.

“If I had had something like this at the right time, I wouldn’t have been beaten by the teacher and learned.”

When I heard about the teaching method I proposed, I admired Darman's efficient method, while sincerely regretting it.

“I'm doing this so that you don't have to go through that.”

Wouldn't it be most desirable that at least the next generation not suffer the same as the previous generation?

isn't it?

“As for the results… are you really going to be able to see them?”
