A Stay At Home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World Volume 2 Chapter 828 Of Course
In an office in the department of education of Rodu, a stern-looking official was appraising Byron with a concerned look on his face as he said, "Master Byron, His Majesty has approved of the implementation of the decimal system, but it still hasn't been approved of to be taught in schools. That's going to create a massive obstacle in our attempt to promote the system. Students are going to focus more on the hexadecimal system as that what's going to be tested in their exams, and they'll neglect learning about the decimal system as a result."
Byron turned to the official with a calm smile, and replied, "I anticipated that this would happen. The decimal system has only truly received widespread attention from the scholars of the Roth Empire in the past three months. Even though we've proven the superiority of the decimal system, it's still a newcomer to the field of mathematics, after all. Presenting a new system or concept to the world of scholars will inevitably be a lengthy process; we have to prepare to be in it for the long haul, perhaps for five years or even a decade."
The official's brows remained tightly furrowed as he said, "But this is a fantastic opportunity for us, seeing as we've just won the debate. If we get delayed for too long, the conservatives may gradually minimize the influence of the outcome of this debate; that would be very detrimental to our implementation of the decimal system."
"No, winning this debate has been a vast stroke of fortune for us. It signifies the first victory of the revolutionaries over the conservatives, and Fitch has also given up on the conservatives to learn the decimal systems. He will undoubtedly guide more brilliant young scholars and mathematicians down the same path." Byron shook his head with a smile as he said, "What our department of education has to do next is to set up bases to promote the decimal system in all of the schools. All of the schools are still teaching in the hexadecimal system, but we can make this a selective class that children can take if it strikes their interest. That way, more and more children will be able to come into contact with the decimal system."
"That's a great idea!" The official's eyes immediately lit up.
Byron nodded, and continued, "You go and draft up a plan first. Tally up how many schools in Rodu we can establish such bases in, then determine how many teachers and how much expenditure would be required to support such a project. After verifying all that, you may begin the process. I'll be personally overseeing this project."
"Yes, Master Byron." The official quickly departed.
Byron looked out at the old tree outside the window. The final leaf on the tree branch was struggling to hold on in the face of the fall wind with all its might, looking as if it were going to fall at any moment.
"I hope I can live to see the day when the decimal system takes the place of the hexadecimal system across the entire Roth Empire"
West of Rodu, on the racecourse of General Barkly's manor.
A tall and broad young man rode atop a black unicorn and galloped around the racecourse a few times before drawing to a stop and dismounting from his steed. He casually tossed the reins to a servant who was waiting nearby, receiving a hot towel with which he wiped his hands in exchange. He then turned to a black-robed young man standing off to the side with his head bowed, and asked, "What is it?"
The young man stepped forward, and replied in a hushed voice, "Young Master, according to the information that our subordinates just received, the man who won the best dish award during the royal banquet"
