For a full afternoon and the whole night, Lin En explained the operating principles of various mechanical structures to a group of alchemists, and was even more dizzy when Lydia asked her "a hundred thousand whys". Brain swelling.
However, with the joint efforts of everyone, when the sky was dim the next day, the blueprints for the first-generation magic internal combustion engine had been produced.
Although it looks decent, there is no guarantee whether it will be able to become Lin En. They can only let them make it first and slowly modify the problematic areas.
In the next few days, Linn paid no attention to it and left the production of the internal combustion engine to Philip and Darren, asking them to study it slowly and tell him when they had finished the test product.
All his energy was devoted to compiling new textbooks and founding a new newspaper!
Lynn couldn't be more clear about the importance of public opinion. It can directly determine what people see, hear, and even think every day!
Hellram, the previous controller of Iyetta Harbor, didn't care about this, and the parliament didn't pay enough attention to it, but Linn would not let the high ground of public opinion be in the hands of others.
So a few days later, a newspaper called [Magic Daily] was quickly listed in the most conspicuous place in every store.
The thin, white paper immediately attracted everyone's attention, and then their eyes were caught by the content on it.
The front page headline of the newspaper was about the narration of the Nancheng District tragedy and the subsequent treatment plan. For the sake of the stability of Iyeta Port, Hellram was not mentioned in it, but most of the blame was thrown away by the evil mage Mo Mo. Gram's body.
However, this matter is indeed related to Merck, and it is not entirely slander.
For ordinary people, what is most shocking to them is obviously not this, but the fact that the new city lord of the seaport city, Iyeta's Magic Star, wants to provide pensions to the poor people affected by the disaster. This is simply thunderous news.
When did those high-ranking wizards actually care about the poor? Some poor people in the southern district were so moved that they cried bitterly after receiving the resettlement fees.
Mary was one of them. The soul-eating formation suddenly appeared in Nancheng District and took away her husband's life without warning, leaving only her and two young children.
There is not much black bread left from the black bread she received before. Mary is even considering going to the magic workshop to be used as a test subject for magic potions by the wizards. It is said that if she is lucky enough, not only will there be no side effects, but she will also be able to Gain strength far beyond that of ordinary people.
Mary knew very well that the probability was extremely slim. There were not many people in Nancheng who had deformed bodies due to taking the wizard's potion. Unless they were desperate, not many people would be willing to take risks with their own safety.
Fortunately, just when she was still hesitating, she received the news about the pension payment. People like her, whose family has lost an important labor force, can receive a full fifty silver coins!
Saving some money can support the family for a year or two, which made Mary very grateful. Then she gritted her teeth and spent five copper coins to buy a [Magic Daily] and asked the shop owner to give it to the illiterate person. Tell me about the above content yourself
Mary's decision was undoubtedly the right one, because the newspaper also published two important pieces of news.
The first is that several new paper-making workshops, glass workshops and airship-making workshops have been built in Ieta Port, and a large number of workers have been recruited. It is estimated that about 1,500 people will be needed, which not only includes food and accommodation, but also can earn money every month. Depending on the type of work, you will be paid eight to fifteen silver coins.
Those who can count and have been craftsmen will be given priority.
In addition, priority will also be given to the families of those who died in the Nangu City massacre.
Seeing this, Mary suddenly felt her eyes light up. There was no male or female label on it, only the minimum and maximum age limits. She was undoubtedly qualified.
Eight silver coins are not worth mentioning in the eyes of wizards, but for ordinary civilians, it is not a small amount. It is enough to support a family of three, and even live a luxurious life of eating white bread every day and occasionally adding an egg.
The second thing is that Iyetta Academy will expand its enrollment. Wizard apprentices and even formal wizards who are willing to continue their studies can do so.
Back to school.
In addition, the [Magic Daily] also mentioned that Ieta will build a school to recruit ordinary people in the future.
"Building a school for ordinary people who don't know magic?" Seeing this, Mary couldn't believe her eyes.
"Yes, that's what Mr. Orlando said. He will teach Mathematical Olympiad, Chemistry and Physics." The store owner said with confidence. He had confirmed it with the wizard several times.
"But...what can we do if we learn this?" Mary said with a confused look on her face.
"I heard from Mr. Orlando that the city lord is very short of manpower now. These students can join the real alchemy workshop in the future and become assistants to the wizards... just like Lydia!" the shop owner explained patiently.
Lydia? Hearing what the other party said, Mary immediately became excited.
Everyone in Ieta Harbor knows that this halfling girl who usually runs around and likes to create some weird and weird things has now transformed into the trusted right-hand man of the city lord.
Together with the halflings who they usually look down on, they all live an extremely privileged life. It is said that they can earn several gold coins every month!
The power of role models is undoubtedly powerful!
Mary was silently thinking about whether to send her two children to the academy when the time came.
The cost of enrollment for each person is ten silver coins, so two people will spend nearly half of the pension.
But when she thought that they could become assistants to the wizards in the future and would not have to stay in Nancheng District to make a living like herself, Mary gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
As long as he can work in a workshop, his monthly income will be enough to support the daily expenses of his two children.
Mary thought of her lost husband again and secretly prayed in her heart that life would gradually get better...
Also reading the newspaper were the wizards in the harbor city and many graduated apprentices. They had completely different attitudes towards Linn's re-education plan. Some refused to save face and even scorned it, but there were also many wizards who were interested.
They all know that Lin En, the current dean of the college, is a wizard who specializes in magic theory. Although he is young, he has created many novel and powerful magics.
What's more, rumors have been circulating in the harbor city that the other party has been promoted to a great wizard, so that the number of people who have signed up to return to school is far more than Linn imagined...
