Chapter 208 208. Hall of Knowledge
It is no surprise that football is popular.
But Lowe still felt that it was a bit too exaggerated to be so popular that it shook the whole city.
In just one week, football has almost secured its future historical status.
The stadium was filled with spectators day and night.
Perhaps because of the abundance of food, people have more time to spend on entertainment. In the past, although there were chess and poker games to pass the time, I think intellectual games are not suitable for everyone. Most of the people in the territory are simple-minded and prefer running and sports.
Football has naturally become the main entertainment for many people.
Running and chasing on the lawn, kicking the ball into the wooden frame with all your strength, the rules are simple and easy to understand, and except that you are not allowed to use your hands, it is not difficult for anyone to understand.
In the early days, Lowe did not set too detailed rules for the sport. Everything was very simple, and the goals were made of barbed wood and thick hemp rope.
The football itself is also a black rubber ball, and the weight control is not very good.
The strength of the players is not uniform. The strong limit breakers and ordinary people compete with each other on the court. Isn't this bullying? There are many things to complain about, but no one can refuse the simple and rough happiness.
Especially after becoming addicted to the game, many guards forget their own duties.
The first temporary court was built in an open space near the Red Maple Tavern.
Lowe's original intention was to make it easier for more people to watch the game and to promote it. But in fact, it was completely unnecessary and directly caused serious traffic congestion in that area.
The already crowded Red Maple Tavern was now so crowded that it could no longer operate.
Under strong protests from the owner, the stadium was moved to another wasteland, and a new stadium was opened on the coast to divert the flow of players.
Of course, two stadiums alone cannot meet the needs of the people.
In a month, more than ten golf courses were built, just like mushrooms after rain. This was the result of Fulinbao's control, otherwise the number would be several times more.
"It's too much! This game has seriously affected our military discipline. Now they just think about playing football every day!" Lodel complained to Lovey.
"It's better to use up the energy." Lowe also felt a little regretful.
The rise of football has indirectly led to a decline in the efficiency of housing construction. This is definitely not a good thing in the short term, and it is uncertain in the long term. Perhaps it would be easier to control the people who waste their energy on the field.
Who knows? Anyway, it's too late to regret now.
It's May now.
The enthusiasm for football has finally subsided, mainly because the weather is too hot and humid, and people can't stand staying in the sun for too long.
There are more people watching the game at night. The huge light element makes the stadium as bright as day.
Not every golf course has the treatment of light element lighting, only a few are conveniently located.
A few months of peace.
The entire Eastern Continent is in a state of recuperation.
The number of migrating people gradually decreased, and the population of Donggang City remained around 100,000.
Recently, there has been a baby boom, and the number of newborns in the territory has increased to a considerable number.
The hospital has made a great contribution to the survival rate of babies.
"Fiona, when is your family coming over?"
"Soon, within this year, we agreed."
Mrs. Lanlan was pregnant with a round belly and was not suitable for physical exercise.
Therefore, Aka was temporarily replaced in her position.
When Lovey suggested that Leniel be made a maid, everyone expressed strong opposition.
How could a person who had committed an attack on a lord be forgiven so easily? If this precedent was set, wouldn't more people follow suit in the future? No one would agree to this.
However, Lodel, who should have been the first to object, instead acted indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with her, which made Lovey feel guilty.
He felt that he had gone too far and had been very unrestrained recently, indulging himself in the pleasures of life. Many of his plans had been put aside.
After several months, Lowe once again decided to make a big move to show his presence.
“Build a public library and share all the books.”
"Master, are you sure? This is not a trivial matter! Knowledge is far more valuable than gold." Mosophie said in shock.
"In fact, it should have been done long ago. It's hard to develop if we just keep cherishing our own things. We are already backward compared to the Central Continent." Davian's tone showed support.
“Perhaps more talented people will be attracted to the knowledge in the library. You have to know that some people are not short of wealth.” Russ agreed.
"A public library doesn't mean there's no price to pay." Lovey paused and kept the question in suspense.
"Do you want to make a profit from lending books? To keep the library running?" Davian asked tentatively.
Luo Wei shook his head slowly: "Fulin Castle is very wealthy now, and we don't need that little money. I want to bind my knowledge with the new characters. Once I learn the new characters, I can read all the books in the library."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
No one denies the superiority of the new writing, but not everyone can abandon the old habits all at once.
Even Bruno couldn't do it! At this stage, only a few people have mastered Chinese characters.
These people are almost all gifted, some are even spellcasters, and their memory is almost close to the level of photographic memory.
Lowe spends an hour every day answering people's questions and solving their problems.
Mainly Suya! This succubus has an exceptionally good learning ability and currently has a very high level of mastery of the new characters. In the past six months, she has learned almost half of them.
Then, Suya taught the children the words she had learned.
Thus, the inheritance was initially established. Loewy made several library models with clay, and many scholars voted and decided on a circular, magnificent palace-like building.
Named the Hall of Knowledge, its original intention was to collect knowledge and cultivate high-end talents for the territory.
One day, all kinds of books will fill up all the space in the palace.
The idea is great, but the reality is that there is a serious shortage of manpower. The Executive Office has struggled to recruit dozens of workers in the market, which is far from enough to complete such a huge project.
“Why is there no one here!”
"Everyone is building their own houses, football fields, and ships. Construction is going on everywhere. There is no one idle. There are almost no people coming here recently. There were hundreds of people a day at this time last year, but only a dozen this year!"
"Think of a way to get more people!"
One hundred thousand people is too few, and if they are distributed to various industries, it would be just a drop in the bucket.
Not to mention that most of them are farmers. "Master, I have two ideas for you to consider." Xiqi suggested.
