He basically ate meat on Treasure Star and was lacking in vitamins.
While drinking black tea, Luther asked Lelouch about the work of agricultural promotion, and nodded as he listened.
Good, the promotion speed is very fast.
This year we planted crops during the spring plowing season, and after the autumn harvest, the grain piled up like a mountain.
"Now that agricultural promotion has been accomplished, let's talk about another thing." Luther put down his tea and said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Lelouch couldn't help but become serious.
"I plan to establish a primary school, a high school, and a knight's school in all aspects," Luther said. This was an idea he had had for a long time.
Ordinary schools to improve the literacy rate of the people.
The Knight School increases the number of knights in the territory.
The Pompeii family will receive a steady supply of knights from the Knight School, the cradle of knights.
"This is definitely not an ordinary school building plan." Lelouch looked at Luther's serious expression and suddenly felt a headache.
Before this, Luther had asked him to do something.
Pompeii is now very large, with a permanent population of about 100,000. Such a large city is divided into many communities.
In each community, Luther left him a vacant lot to build a school.
Lelouch thought Luther was crazy when he said he wanted to send the civilians to school, and now he thinks trouble is coming.
"You still understand me." Luther said with a smile.
"I'm not complimenting you." Lelouch rolled his eyes, his mustache twitching in anger.
"I have decided to build all the school land that was reserved before, and build several lower-level schools in the rural areas outside the city according to the location. Not only in Pompeii, but also in the entire White Eagle Territory at once. The school will not only recruit nobles and the middle class, but also students from farmers and workers. As for how many primary schools, senior schools, and knight schools are needed in the territory, we will discuss it."
Luther’s opening was indeed very bold.
However, Lelouch's eyes rolled even more, and he said unhappily: "I never understood why you care so much about civilians' studies?"
"Because the future belongs to the common people," Luther said.
"You're exaggerating. Civilians are obviously so stupid." Lelouch disagreed.
But Luther just looked at Lelouch, as if his eyes could speak, "I must do this."
"Okay, okay." Lelouch couldn't stand Luther's look and waved his hand. Then he thought for a moment and said, "But it's very difficult for you to recruit civilian students. First of all, civilians don't have the money to send their children to school, and ordinary civilians don't think that studying is useful. As for the Knight School, I don't need to tell you how much money it takes to train a knight. Civilians can't afford it at all."
"But there is good news now, because there are too many nobles pouring into Pompeii, among them are scholars, artists, knights, and some of them need decent jobs, so there is no need to worry about teachers."
After telling him the bad news, Lelouch gave him a thoughtful smile.
"That's not a problem at all. My Pompeii family will pay for it, but there is a condition. After they graduate, they will be given priority to enter the Pompeii family's factory. If they are knights, they will be given priority to join the Pompeii family's army."
"As for the fact that the common people think that reading is useless, that's even simpler. Propaganda."
"For example, a farmer has two children, one is James and the other is Howard. James is illiterate, so he can only work on the farm. Howard is educated, so he works as an official in the city hall and lives a decent life. By using this kind of story and making it more exciting, people can know the difference between literacy and illiteracy."
Luther said.
Lulu was about to drink tea from the cup, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old tea. He quickly swallowed the black tea, put down the cup, and said, "You are crazy, do you know how many gold coins that will cost?"
"I have money, and I have the ability to promote educational reforms throughout the territory, so that everyone has the opportunity to receive education and become a knight. If there were not so few wizards in the White Eagle Territory, I would also like to establish a wizard school."
I am a local tyrant.
Luther was definitely a very wealthy man. Before the war, he earned some money from Pompeii wine and some from selling real estate, plus the gold coins he had hoarded before.
The Pompeii family currently has more than one million gold coins.
Of course, these gold coins are not enough to promote Luther's plan, but it doesn't matter, because Luther still has an elemental planet.
There is plenty of money to promote education for a generation in the territory.
Luther calculated this very clearly. If the money is kept in the warehouse, it is just like letting it rot. Money can be used to make money, so doing business is a good choice.
Investing in education would also be a good choice.
By improving the literacy rate of the entire society, many talents will emerge among the civilians, which can promote the industrialization process of the entire territory.
If the White Eagle Territory prospers and becomes the most prosperous territory in the world, how much tax will it generate? And how many opportunities will the Pompeii family have to make money?
Not to mention the Cavaliers.
Now the Pompeii family is investing gold coins to train knights. When the knights grow up, they can give back to the Pompeii family to defend the territory, not to mention that there is also an elemental planet that needs a large number of knights to explore.
A guaranteed profit.
More importantly, the investment only takes one generation. For example, if Xiao Ming is an eight-year-old child who receives free education from the Pompeii family, after he becomes a knight, he works hard to earn a sum of money, gets married, and then has children, his children no longer need free education.
Because he can fully afford the cost of his children's education.
The current level of the Kingdom of Prussia is equivalent to that of the European Middle Ages, or even worse. Luther's idea is to use one generation to improve the literacy rate of the entire territory, and the second generation will complete the evolution.
Entering the modern national model.
That is to say, to build the White Eagle Territory into a country that possesses both extraordinary power and has reached a modern level.
Trains, cars, power grids, computers.
This may seem a bit far-fetched, but Luther was very confident in himself because he was the lord and his words were decrees.
Luther's willpower can run through the entire territory.
Such efficiency can definitely promote this plan.
The second reason is that Luther is rich.
Local tycoon.
Luther has had this idea for a long time. Only people living in this world will miss everything from their previous lives.
Nothing else to say.
Pick up the phone and lower your head to check WeChat.
Is it possible in this world?
We want to play.
