All the mercenaries who came to Shanghe Town, like pace and others, only appreciated the delicious food and high price.

    But they would not know that the food they had never heard of or seen was not made by a castle chef, but by an aristocratic count.

    They will not understand how much thought and effort the noble spent to comfort his taste buds behind the seemingly simple food.

    In order to cook vegetables, Arthur squeezed vegetable oil from soybeans. Therefore, he specially asked the forging factory to make an oil press.

    In order to make condiments, he tried again and again according to the image of watching documentaries in his previous life, and finally brewed soy sauce with soybeans.

    In order to remove the fishy smell, he also used wheat cooking, distillation and cooling to brew high concentration yellow rice wine.

    In addition to these, he also asked the foreign trade bureau to import all kinds of spices from businessmen, try them one by one and seasoning them again and again.

    In addition, there are all kinds of iron cookers!

    This is not a simple cooking, but a story of a person who is far away from his hometown and does not hesitate to establish an industrial chain in order to eat a bite of his hometown food!

    Therefore, the six men of pace only spent more than one gold coin. It''s really not expensive at all! And such food can only be eaten in Shanghe town''s Merchant Hotel except Lingfeng castle!

    However, the story on the tip of the tongue will not be known by pace and others now.

    ……

    Standing in the street, pace stared at a house on the right with a puzzled face. On the right side of the door frame of the house, there was a long wooden board with the words "Shanghe collar Education Bureau".

    "Go up to the river and lead the Education Bureau... What does this do?" pace muttered to himself.

    He knew that there was an iron ore Bureau in charge of managing iron mines in Shanghe, but this education bureau saw it for the first time.

    Is it similar to the iron ore bureau?

    He thought for a while and saw that the door was wide open and didn''t mean to refuse others, so he stepped up curiously.

    Although he had become a mercenary, pace still had the pride of a knight, so he disdained to peep outside the door, but stepped in and planned to go in to find out.

    This is an old but spacious house with three rooms and a small courtyard.

    As soon as he entered the courtyard, pace saw several people dressed as bachelors in the opposite room, busy at their desks on a long table.

    The table is full of white paper like things, which seems to be sorting something out.

    He didn''t hurry to ask, but looked at the room on the left. It should be a library, because the room was full of books.

    "Who are you? Do you have anything to do?"

    Just as pace turned his head and looked around, a query suddenly occurred behind him.

    Kent came out of the house with a stack of literacy materials that had been sorted out and were about to be sent for printing. He just saw pace standing in the hospital.

    Pace turned and looked at Kent in front of him. Seeing that he was also dressed as a bachelor, he asked curiously, "are you all bachelor?"

    "Yes, we are all bachelors."

    Kent looked at pace and saw that although he had a long sword around his waist, he was not wearing armor, and there was no sign of Lingfeng castle or the Public Security Bureau on his clothes. Therefore, he immediately guessed the identity of his mercenary.

    Kent said, "Sir, there are no outsiders here. If you have nothing special, please leave."

    "Dear bachelor, I''m very sorry, but I didn''t mean to break in. I just saw the sign of the Education Bureau outside the door and saw that the door was not closed, so I came in out of curiosity."

    After explaining, pace continued, "my name is pace. I''m a mercenary. I just escorted a caravan. I''m not malicious, but I''m curious about Shanghe town."

    "Pace?" Kent asked with emphasis.

    "Yes, pace, a mercenary."

    Looking at pace, Kent said, "there are not many mercenaries who can read, and there are fewer mercenaries who can read and talk like you."

    "I''m just a mercenary now." pace knew that the other party recognized him, but he didn''t want to mention the past.

    Looking at the dark and calm pace, Kent said, "this is the river leading education bureau established by Lord Arthur tustra, Earl of lingfengbao. I''m Kent, the director here. If you don''t have anything special, the education bureau is not responsible for receiving outsiders."

    Pace did not leave, but asked Kent, "Bachelor Kent, can I know what this education bureau does? I know that there is an iron ore Bureau in Shanghe Town, and there seems to be an Engineering Bureau."

    Looking at him, Kent thought for a moment and said, "the education bureau is established by the earl. According to the Earl''s plan, it is responsible for studying and formulating the education plans, policies and regulations of the whole river collar, and organizing the implementation of these policies."

    "Education plan? Can you make laws? Wait, count lingfengbao wants to carry out education in his territory! Is it bachelor''s education?"

    Kent''s explanation, instead of dispelling pace''s doubts, gave him an extra question mark.

    "I remember!" pace''s face suddenly realized after asking several questions one after another. He thought of the hotel clerk learning to read with a booklet. Is this the responsibility of the education bureau?

    Glancing at the white paper in Kent''s hand, pace then asked, "is this paper?"

    "Mr. pace, you have a lot of questions," said Kent, taking out a piece of paper from his hand and handing it to pace. "This is a new paper invented by the count according to the method described by the ancient sages."

    Holding the paper, pace didn''t care about the words and patterns recorded on it, but shook, shook, and finally looked at the sun.

    "This... This is really great, this paper." pace looked at Kent in surprise and excitement. "It is better than the coarse linen paper commonly used in the Kingdom, even those used in the palace. Writing on it will be a pleasant experience."

    Pace''s reaction to the paper made Kent a little proud, and also made him have some good feelings for the aristocrat who was reduced to a mercenary.

    At least this is not a shallow person who only knows force and doesn''t know the importance of knowledge.

    After receiving the information from pace and remembering the reason why he became a mercenary, Kent said, "Mr. pace, you have too many questions, and I still have important work. I''m afraid I can''t answer them in detail for you."

    "If you still have time and interest, I suggest you walk to the north, where there is the hope school established by the earl. In addition, you can also look around. I''m sure you can find many things that can surprise you."

    "Bachelor Kent, I''m very sorry." pace apologized to Ken for his interruption. After that, he turned out of the yard of the Education Bureau and went to the north of Shanghe town.
