What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 211 Encouraging Fertility
"Natural spells are slightly weaker in terms of attack, but have strong defense, control, and healing capabilities, and because they don't need to build a spell model, once they are proficient, they have an unparalleled advantage in casting speed."

Colin explained it roughly, but it was obvious that Glenn was not interested in the principles of spells. He only knew that elves' spells were more difficult to detect than humans.

"Mr. Glenn, can I ask you a favor?"

"what?"

"You may have heard that I want to give physical training to all magic apprentices recently. In terms of physical fitness, Roderick is in charge. Can you ask Mr. Glenn to help teach them some combat skills, especially for magicians. said Colin.

"Why do you want to train magic apprentices?" Glenn asked.

"In fact, this idea has been around for a long time. In the past, the goal of magic apprentices was only to become a magician. Those who have not awakened will eventually become a craftsman-like existence."

Ke Lin said: "But in Xia Ya, I hope to change this situation. Magic apprentices should be sent to more uses, and even the most important force to promote the progress of the entire country and society. Xia Ya may not have magicians, but there must be ones." A large number of magic apprentices."

"So you hope they have some ability to protect themselves?"

"Yes, a magic apprentice who cannot be awakened may not be as effective as a craftsman."

"But you have to know that not everyone can become a knight."

"It is not necessary for them all to become knights, but they must have a healthy and strong body. I am afraid that Mr. Glenn does not know that writing and doing research at a desk every day is actually a very harmful thing to the body. Magicians have the mental strength to withstand it. It's okay, the magic apprentice will die. If this goes on for a long time, the body may not be able to last for a few years.

"In addition, for some of them, I really hope that they can work hard in the direction of junior knights."

"why?"

"The miniaturization of magic energy blocks has begun to take effect, and soon, the defenders of the fortress will be able to equip enchanted weapons on a large scale." When Colin said this, he was a little excited even himself, and continued: "But the soldiers know nothing about magic. Someone must be there to guide its use, as well as proper maintenance, and act as a magical advisor."

"Doesn't that require a lot of magic apprentices?"

"Yes."

Ke Lin nodded: "My idea is to equip each team with a magic apprentice, whether it is training or going out to fight, they must follow them together, so naturally this person's strength should not be too weak, otherwise he will only It will hold back the army."

"Although I don't know much about magic." Glenn showed a slight surprise on his face: "But I also know that this is a very luxurious thing."

Whether it is to equip troops with magic apprentices, or to allow magic apprentices to have physical fitness close to that of a knight, it is an extremely extravagant thing.

According to the establishment of the fortress army, a battle formation is about 200 people.Xia Ya now has an army of nearly 50 people, that is to say, there are at least [-] magic apprentices in the army alone.

You must know that Xia Ya's magic apprentices are not the kind of idle students in Thunder City. The worst of them all have the ability to inscribe, repair magic lines, and conduct simple magic research independently.

But Xia Ya is qualified to do this.

As Colin himself said, in the first two years after he came to Winter Fortress, the planned industrialization was not carried out at all, and all his energy was put on food and schools. Now that three years have passed, a large number of people who have received magic theory education Apprentices can take up various positions, which is Xia Ya's greatest wealth and the most cost-effective investment.

"Does Mr. Glenn have any suggestions in this regard?" Colin asked modestly.

"I haven't done anything like it, but it's worth trying."

"Thank you."

……

……

December passed in a blink of an eye, and the New Year soon ushered in. This was also Colin's fourth winter in the Winter Fortress.

Because the warm air from the Wind Whisper Plain will be transported to the north of the mountains through Dragon's Breath Canyon, the snow season in Twilight City is not long, and this year is also the first snowy New Year that Colin has encountered.

This year's New Year's atmosphere has been diluted a lot by the upcoming lord's wedding.

In fact, for the civilians of Twilight City, the previous New Year was never a day worth celebrating, because at this time the food for the fortress had just been paid, and the family's rations for the next year had to be carefully calculated.

But since the arrival of the new lord, this situation has changed a lot.

In addition to reducing the offerings, for the past three years, the lords have distributed some rewards on New Year's Day. At first it was food, and later it was changed to eggs. Last year, the New Year began to send money directly, each with a silver shield, including children.

The fertility rate in Twilight City has been increasing rapidly since last year.

In addition to solving the problem of food and clothing, the common people have the confidence to have children, and the winter city has also promulgated a series of policies to encourage the citizens to have children.

The most important one is that every time a newborn is born, the parents can directly receive a subsidy of 50 silver shields from the government affairs department, which is equivalent to half a year's income of an ordinary workshop worker.

And before the child is eight years old, he can receive a silver shield every month as a ration fee.

For a baby, this amount is enough for basic food expenses.

The residents of Twilight City suddenly discovered that it doesn’t seem to cost much to raise a child. Before the age of eight, there is a subsidy from the government affairs department. After the age of eight, they can enter the school for free. Clothes are distributed uniformly, until they graduate at the age of 17, they can work to earn money, or enter the Higher Academy of Magic for further studies.

It seems that apart from the occasional spanking and discipline, it really doesn't take much to raise a child.

In addition, if both parents die or lose the ability to support them, the Government Affairs Office will continue to support them unconditionally until they graduate from school.

Facts have proved that once there is no need to worry about the future, human reproduction ability can also become very strong.

……

early morning.

Inside the castle study.

Tessa looked at this month's expenses, propped her head on her hands, and looked troubled.

The door was knocked.

Phinea then walked into the room.

"Miss Tessa, today is the New Year, why are you so busy early in the morning?"

"There is a lord who spends money willfully. He can't do it if he is not busy. Look at this..." Tessa pushed the information in front of her.

After taking a few glances, Feniya knew what it was, and said with a smile:

"Master Wayne is indeed very good at spending money, but please rest assured, Miss Tessa. I have visited the workshop and plantation in the past few days, and I am very sure that the economic situation in the fortress will improve soon."
