Chapter 850: Shilov Gardening
In fact, the demon-eating bacteria that were inoculated into people were not extracted from Horn’s butt.

To be precise, the inoculated Holy Favor Magic Fungi are all the great-great-great-grandchildren of Horn’s Butt Magic Fungi.

They were all grown in clean slime culture medium, cleaner than Horn’s face.

But when Horn thought that the extraordinary bacteria that the people of the Holy Alliance would be vaccinated with in the future would be extracted from his own anus and rectum, he had an indescribable complicated feeling.

This might be Shilov’s little prank.

Judging from her description, the bacteria on the inner wall of the mouth would obviously be fine, but she insisted on choosing the ones on the inner wall of the anus and rectum.

Horn had long seen through Shilov’s character.

She was not as headstrong and difficult as Carrie, but she was not as elegant as she looked.

Although he seems to be the most obedient one, he still secretly trips Horn up to vent his anger.

Now this version of the magic-eating fungus has been completed and is ready for mass production. If it needs to be modified, it will take another month or two.

After much thought, Horn decided to let her go.

But he turned around and whispered to Madeleine beside him: “When you promote it, just say it was extracted from my mouth.”

Madeleine looked surprised: “Wasn’t it originally extracted from your mouth?”

“You boy.”

After giving instructions to Madeleine, Horn held the handrail and pushed Shilov into the garden.

During this period, in her spare time, Shilov also made significant modifications to the Mechanical Palace.

She used a lot of clockwork machinery, modified the aqueduct, planted many flowers, and even expanded her puppet theater.

In the garden, most of the painted bronze dolls can move like humans with just the flick of a switch.

The bronze statue of a monk is writing furiously, and the bronze statue of a painter is painting with his brush on the canvas, but no paint can be seen.

There are also people weaving, playing the piano, gliding on the track and dancing ballet…

“I thought you didn’t do this anymore…”

“I’ve always liked this. Look at you, you never care about what I like.”

“Who said that?” Horn rubbed her head. “I came here to see the demon-eating fungus secondarily. The first reason is to see you.”

“Big liar.” Shilov tried her best to suppress it, but the tail behind her still swung uncontrollably.

“Okay, then I’m a big liar, and you’re a small liar. Let’s go out and roam together, cheating people everywhere, how about that?”

Shilov paused while wagging her tail, and said vaguely: “Hmm…”

Horn thought that Shilov was shy, after all, there was no expression on her face.

Pushing Shilov’s wheelchair, the two of them looked around Shilov’s garden, talking about the latest news on both sides.

Horn also picked up a branch, threw it out, and asked Shilov to pick it up.

This naturally made Shilov tuck her tail between her legs and chase Horn to beat him. Finally, she turned her wheelchair and took the opportunity to knock Horn to the ground.

It was not until the weak Shilov was tired of playing that the two of them sat down by the fountain pool.

“So, how are the Aether and Lightning Furnaces doing?”

“You said you came to see me!”

Horn took Shilov’s hand and looked at her newly painted violet nail polish: “I’m just asking casually.”

Shilov didn’t look at Horn, as if her hand was not held by Horn: “The original prototype of the difference engine has been built, but it is too big, so I put it outside the yard and have someone guard it.

You came at the right time. According to the current progress, we will be able to find the location of the second star boundary weak point in about four or five days.

As for the Lightning Furnace, we will be able to make an electric-resistant furnace shell after Mithril is mass-produced, but we have no idea about the internal discharge rods and other parts for the time being.”

“That’s great.” Horn lowered his head and kissed the palm of Shilov’s hand.

With a whoosh, she retracted her hand, and it was Shilov’s turn to bring up business first: “The University of the Holy Trinity will start recruiting students in the fall, and they will start recruiting students in the summer. Do you have a source of students for this year?”

Horn took the branches out of his hair and threw them into the pool: “It’s very difficult to fight. To be precise, there may be only 20 to 30 students in the past two or three years.

However, after my Shilov Education Plan is implemented, I can basically provide nearly a hundred qualified college students to Saint-Hermit University every year.”

I don’t know if it’s because she’s tired or something, but Shilov’s face is slightly red. “Why didn’t you tell me that you named it after me?”

“After all, you are the dean of the seminary. You only need to put your name on the list and let others do the specific work.”

The so-called Shilov education plan is actually Horn’s public education plan.

He plans to use funds from the Holy See to build nine public high schools and improve three public universities.

Among the 9 public high schools, they are located in Charlotte Green City, Jeanne d’Arc, Rapid City, Little Pond City, High Castle City, Holy See, Cold Spring Castle, Hot Spring Castle and Long Beach City.

There are five high schools in Plain County, but only three in Mountain County are not discriminated against by Horn. This is based on population division.

The registered population of Mountain County is already small, and Xixi feels it is a waste to build three middle schools.

Except for Hot Springs Castle Middle School, the other schools recruit students locally.

Hot Springs High School will enroll students from South Mound County, Mound County, and North County.

Previously built town primary schools were to be maintained by local religious orders after their completion.

After the primary school graduation examination, the local secondary school will allocate places to the primary schools based on the vacancies and select the top few from among them.

After entering middle school, students will be divided into majors, which are divided into liberal arts and military. The academic names are civil affairs and military affairs.

Civil studies generally emphasize history, rhetoric, logic, literature, theology, law, etc.

The military department studies mathematics, natural theology, geography, alchemy, military affairs, etc.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also private ones, such as the Kush Foundation and the purely military-oriented private middle schools built by the war group.

But they don’t have direct admission quota and must take the application exam.

You enter secondary school at the age of twelve, and after four to six years of study, you can enter university by graduating from the top few average secondary school grades or by applying for an exam.

There are currently only three universities left: the Pontifical University of the Holy See, the Dragon Alchemy University and the Saint Dange Military Academy.

Under the current financial situation, Horn estimates that each middle school will have 300 to 400 students, with fewer than 100 students enrolled each year.

If this is spread out among the primary schools in towns, it is estimated that each primary school will only have three or four places available.

Primary school graduates could continue to work on the farm or take up positions such as head of a hundred households in the countryside – they were literate and knew basic arithmetic.

High school graduates can join the army or religious orders, and they have the most basic ability to assist in governing.

In addition to entering research institutions or working as engineers, university graduates are also sought after by the military and religious orders.

In the army, everyone starts as an officer; in religious orders, everyone starts as a itinerant monk at the rank of chanter and is promoted after completing their term.

If you’re lucky, you might even be able to enter the Central Imperial Order directly.

If the Thousand River Valley Holy Alliance can win this war, then the formal land inventory can begin.

This is nothing less than another war.

By then, Horn needed a force that was independent of the nobility and local forces and had sufficient experience and level.

He wants to defeat the stubborn groups that stand between the center and the grassroots.

“That reminds me.” Horn took out a small notebook, “We need to do a statistics and binding of the household registers this year, and it’s a good idea to ask these college students to be in charge of the review.”

The household registration is not something that can be finalized once it is bound. If the centurion or local nobles resort to trickery, such as the “flying and false mail”, which started to emerge last year.

People don’t learn good things, but learn bad things quickly.

Horn will not care about the evidence after reviewing it for the time being. He will write it down in a small notebook and make a list after the war.

The Thousand River Valley has been divided until now, and it must be reconciled.

“Okay, we’ve had enough fun.” After looking at Horn’s profile for a while, Shilov wiped her big tail that was wet with dew with a handkerchief, “Where are those red knights? Bring them in so I can see them.”
