Chapter 301 The Prodigal Son of the Pompeii Family
Of course, Luther's idea was not mature enough.
Who knows if we can make something like a mobile phone in a supernatural world and then become a mobile phone addict again.
But it should not be difficult to carry out educational reform and promote the industrialization process at the same time, such as building a train.
In short, this territory belongs to Luther, and Luther can do whatever he wants. If Luther is interested and wants to build a robot, the people below can only accept it with a pinch of nose.
So on the same day, Luther asked Lelouch to set up the Ministry of Education, which is responsible for coordinating the establishment of schools, recruiting teachers, compiling teaching materials, and conducting educational publicity and other work.
It is expected that the school will be built and recruit students in about half a year.
By the way, Luther also invented something called printing.
This thing is not difficult. Luther just talked about this idea, and the craftsmen immediately made it.
Since education will be carried out in the future, the demand for books will be huge, and having a magical tool like printing will be beneficial and harmless.
In short, the willful lord and local tyrant started a money-burning activity.
When the city hall launched a vigorous construction and publicity campaign because of Luther's order, Luther got a nickname.
"The prodigal son of the Pompeii family."
The nobles had some resistance to the Pompeii family's plan.
Bos, Taya is such a typical nobleman. He is not a knight, but a scholar with oil painting expertise.
He is a 32-year-old young nobleman. He was born and lived in Sparta, the territory of the Marquis of Parker. On the day when the Marquis of Par was eliminated, he fled Sparta with his family and went south to Pompeii.
Currently, he lives in a small villa in Pompeii with his wife and three children.
The sun was very charming this morning. But it was still a little cold in spring, so Mr. Bos still wore thicker clothes.
After Mr. Bos got up, his wife was still busy in the kitchen, but the three children were already sitting at the dining table with hot soup on it.
The children were drinking soup, and after Mr. Bos sat down, he also picked up a spoon to drink soup.
Mr. Bos missed his life in Sparta a little bit, because when he was in Sparta, he would have a cup of black tea instead of hot soup.
But now he can't afford black tea.
He didn't bring much gold coins when he escaped from Sparta, and buying this house made his life tight.
"Hey, I don't know what this governor is thinking, actually letting civilians receive free education." Mr. Bos shook his head, his expression was very puzzled and a little dissatisfied.
"The governor spent his own money to let civilians receive education, what are you complaining about? And our children can also receive free education." Bos's wife, Mrs. Ari, came over with steak and bread, and said after putting them down.
"What do you know? Once civilians receive education, they will compete with us for jobs. In the past, many things were done by us nobles. As for the education of children, I can teach them."
Bos said.
"That's also a matter for the future. The problem now is that our family is now out of money, and you have to find a job. Isn't the Ministry of Education starting to recruit teachers? You can try it."
Mrs. Ari picked up a piece of bread and moved it away to eat.
"You want me to teach civilians? No." Mr. Bos shook his head with an unhappy look on his face.
"Then we won't have steak to eat in a few days."
Mrs. Airey said a very realistic problem.
"Okay, I'll try." Mr. Bos lost his energy and gave in.
But he also reached out and touched the children's heads, because he realized that with the opening of education, his generation was still good, but his children would compete with the children of civilians for job opportunities.
Whether it is civilians or nobles, only stronger people can get more decent jobs.
…………
People from the Ministry of Education have launched the recruitment of teachers, education propaganda, and school construction throughout the White Eagle Territory.
The work of recruiting teachers is very simple. Luther gave the Ministry of Education a trick to hire a large number of children and distribute leaflets to those well-dressed nobles to introduce the salary and treatment of being a teacher.
The effect is very good, and many nobles who are in distress are ready to move.
However, it is more complicated to promote the benefits of education to civilians.
The Ministry of Education summoned officials who were good at speaking, the same officials who had carried out agricultural promotion last time, and carried out propaganda in one village, one village, one community, and one community.
For example, in Pompeii, there were many such officials every day, standing on a small wooden platform, greeting pedestrians on the roadside.
Then they talked about the benefits of receiving education.
It was like a speech.
According to Luther's proposal, some inspirational stories were compiled to persuade the common people to let their children go to school and receive education.
The effect was not bad, at least the enthusiasm of the common people was mobilized.
But there are two ways to enter the school, ordinary school and knight school, and the children of the common people are very enthusiastic about the knight school.
Pompeii Village No. 1.
This is one of the 20 strongholds established by Luther. According to Luther's previous plan, he would continue to establish strongholds and rely on land taxes to live a happy life as a local rich man.
Man proposes, God disposes. Now the development speed is a bit fast.
Luther already has the White Eagle Territory. There are still many things that need to be developed in the White Eagle Territory. Luther has no plan to expand into the endless forest.
Luther has long forgotten that when he established Pompeii Village No. 1, he personally inspected Pompeii Village No. 1 and had a brief contact with a little boy named Jinbi.
But Jinbi always remembered the meeting with Luther, and he made a new friend named Adai. The two agreed to become knights together in the future and serve the Pompeii family.
Now the spring plowing has begun. Although Jinbi is still a child, he also has to go to the fields to help. Work during the day and sleep at night.
But today the propaganda team of the Ministry of Education arrived at Pompeii Village No. 1 and carried out propaganda.
Jinbi went with his parents. After listening to the introduction of the officials of the Ministry of Education, Jinbi's eyes lit up.
"Dad, I want to go to the Knight School for classes. I want to be a knight." Jinbi pulled his father next to him and said.
Jinbi looks very ordinary, and his father is also ordinary, a standard farmer. Because he has been farming all his life, his vision is also very narrow.
He didn't know what this propaganda of the Ministry of Education meant to ordinary people.
But this farmer has one advantage, he loves children very much. And it's free.
He thought about it, touched Jinbi's head, and simply said one word: "Okay."
Jinbi was so happy that he almost jumped up on the spot. He finally held back, and he thought in his heart.
"When school starts, I must take Ah Dai with me."
Because his friend Ah Dai is a child of a serf, Ah Dai's parents are numb and stupid, and Ah Dai is also a little stupid. If he doesn't take his friends with him, Ah Dai will probably be a farmer for life.
