I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

Hua Rong smiled and said, "If possible, we would certainly like to learn to read and write together. However, our main responsibility this time is to take care of them, and we also have to go hunting every day, so we probably won't have time to go to school. Jiang Wu only needs to take care of those hundred people and doesn't need to worry about the others."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Once they've learned it, they can teach you the same thing."

Hua Rong thought so too: "Jiang Wu is right, we're not in a hurry."

Jiang Ning: "Then let's split these one hundred people into five groups, plus the people from our Jiang tribe, making a total of five squads, which you can think of as five teams. Do you want to divide the Black Scale Tribe people yourself, or should I do it?"

Hua Rong asked cautiously, "Are there any differences between these five classes?"

Jiang Ning shook her head: "There's no difference. Everyone starts from scratch. Once you enter the school, you're called a student, and everyone is a classmate. Students must abide by the school's rules."

“Our Jiang tribe’s school will start in winter every year and end at the end of the second month of summer, lasting for a total of ten months, which is called a semester. In autumn, we are busy with the autumn harvest, so you can have plenty of time to go back to the tribe to participate in the sacrificial rites and stay with the tribe for a month or two before coming back.”

"The school will assign homework, which is some exercises. After returning from school, they have to complete the homework and hand it in within the specified time."

"At the end of each semester, there will be an assessment. Those who pass the assessment can advance to the second year or even higher to learn more. You can think of them as second-year students. Those who fail the assessment can only stay in the first year."

"The school has four classes a day, and the length of each class is determined by the burning of the pine wood. The classes on writing and arithmetic are the cultural classes, while the classes on hunting skills and plant identification are the practical classes."

"The academic classes will be taught by people from the Jiang tribe, and if Captain Hua Rong is interested, she can also teach the practical classes. We will arrange a timetable, and each class will take turns attending classes. The school will have a day off every five days, and students can take care of their own things on their days off."

As for why the school rests one day every five days?

Because the trading area is open every five days, this time it was built opposite the school!

The new trading area will not only have regular shops selling specialties from various tribes, but Jiang Ning has also thoughtfully added a food street. She is determined to earn the beast cores from the Black Scale Tribe!

Hua Rong praised, "Jiang Wu has considered everything very thoroughly. Then please, Jiang Wu, assign us to classes."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Then you can rest today and start classes again tomorrow. In a little while, someone I arranged will come to collect the names, ages, and other information of these students. In the afternoon, please ask Captain Hua Rong to take them to the school square to gather. We will assign each person to a class and then explain the school to everyone. In a few days, when the identity tags are ready, please ask Captain Hua Rong to have them carry their identity tags when they go out to avoid being attacked by ignorant battle pets."

Hua Rong nodded in agreement: "Okay."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. From now on, these people will live in stone houses in groups of three, with men and women separated. You can arrange the accommodations yourselves. Every night, people from the Jiang tribe will come to check if anyone is missing, injured, or wandering into other people's stone houses. Captain Hua Rong, please also arrange for someone to check with the Jiang tribe's people, so that we can avoid any unclear situations if something happens."

Hua Rong laughed and said, "Jiang Wu is really cautious. I didn't even think of this. This time, someone will take care of these mischievous monkeys."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh: "It's a pity you came late this year. You'll be leaving again in less than two months."

Hua Rong said nonchalantly, "It's alright, they'll be back soon. This time, we need to bring back more beast cores from the tribe, otherwise we won't be able to afford the food in the canteen."

Jiang Ning was overjoyed. It would be great if they brought more food. Besides the canteen, she also had the trading area and food street waiting for them: "The Black Scale Tribe are our friends. I'll do some research and offer you a monthly package, which will be cheaper."

Hua Rong roughly understood what Jiang Ning meant and readily agreed: "Then I'll be waiting."

After saying goodbye to Hua Rong, Jiang Ning arranged for someone to collect the identity information of the international students.

She had already arranged the instructors. Many students from the advanced class and the previous preschool class were ready to move up to the second grade, so she selected a few students from the second grade class to teach in rotation. Jiang Ning would also try her best to teach one or two classes to the first grade every day.

Each class has forty-eight students, including twenty from the Black Scale Tribe and twenty-eight from the Jiang Tribe. The children from the Jiang Tribe should not be bullied.

Da Xian sat in the classroom of Class 3, Grade 1 with a look of utter despair. As the hunting captain of the Clam Tribe, he had started learning to read a long time ago, but unfortunately he failed Jiang Wu's test and was now rated as a "Level 1 Student" by Jiang Wu, unable to successfully advance to Grade 2 with Hong Feng and the others.

His deskmate was a little girl named Miao Miao from the Spotted Duck Tribe. Since the White Palm had already successfully entered the workshop, Miao Miao naturally couldn't go into the workshop to help, so she was sent to the school to attend classes.

There were quite a few people from the Black Scale Tribe sitting nearby. Looking at the Bamboo Shaman on the podium, Da Xian made up his mind that he must advance to the second grade this year!

Jiang Wu had already said that the semester would end in two months, and there would be another chance to advance to the second year.

Hua Rong also became a student at the academy, and even sat at the same table as Qing Wu. Jiang Ning could understand this, after all, she was a disciple of the witch, so she had to stay by her side.

Besides, Hua Rong can't go hunting anyway, and she's just idling around all day, so she might as well learn together.

Hua Rong curiously flipped through the textbook in her hand. She heard that the paper used to make the textbook was also made by Jiang Wu. Each page was cut to the same size and then nailed together with twisted straw rope.

Jiang Wu explained that this technique, called sewing, could also be used to make animal skin garments. No wonder their animal skin garments had so many designs and were so practical for work, which prompted Hua Rong to buy a few as well.

I heard that the words in this textbook are all the words that first graders need to learn. Hua Rong thought that they were all handwritten by the people of Jiangbu, one word at a time. But Jiang Wu said no, they were printed out.

She wanted to ask more questions, but Jiang Wu said it was a secret of the Jiang tribe. The Jiang tribe could help the Black Scale tribe make it, but they could not teach them.

The workshop's printing technology was still immature, so each character was printed extremely large, and there was a lot of black paint stuck to the pages next to it, but it was still not a problem to see each character clearly.

The textbooks contained short stories adapted by Jiang Ning based on the local situation, simply to pique their interest.

Gray Feather also brought a few people from the Shrike tribe to become first-year students. As for the Shrike Witch?

He said he was old and his eyesight was failing, and he wouldn't live much longer, so he wouldn't compete with the cubs for a spot.
