After settling the many awakened ones in, Ye Chen returned to the lord's mansion on Tianzhu Mountain.
Qin Yang has already arranged for people to deliver a lot of ecological resources, all of which he needs to sort and allocate. At the same time, he set off from his territory, found Sun Xiuzhu, and entered the Time Cave in the Blue Star plane, beginning a long development that will last for thirty years.
Moreover, he brought back a large number of cultural books with him on his return to Earth, intending to brush up on his knowledge.
Territory management is not an easy task. Only after becoming a lord do you realize that you still have a lot to learn. There are many things that you may not need to handle, but you should at least have a certain understanding of them.
"One is never too old to learn!" Ye Chen thought to himself, burying himself in endless affairs and studies while residing in the lord's mansion.
"My lords, the main teaching building of the school has been completed. Would you like to go and inspect it?" Three days later, an Aini came to Wen Cheng and the others' residence to report.
This was a makeshift thatched hut where Xia Qingyi and the others had spent three days together. Except for Ding Siyin, who had been transferred to take care of the small animals, all the newly recruited Awakened Ones were here, including Tao Ping and Ye Chen.
Although Ye Chen had already said that Ye Chen could go to the library to read the books at any time, Ye Chen never went. Instead, he stayed in the city of the Aini people to help build the city and maintain order.
Ye Chen didn't insist on this. In any case, he would be staying in the Time Cave for thirty years, so he had plenty of time to cultivate slowly.
"It's already built? Let's go! Let's go take a look!" Ye Chen stood up and led everyone towards the teaching building.
Since Ye Chen had said that this was an academy where all races could learn together, it wasn't actually built in the city of the Aini people. Instead, a large piece of land was designated outside for future expansion.
The site covers a considerable area, so currently only one teaching building has been built to allow for basic educational work to begin in advance.
"Greetings, esteemed guests!" Cecilia and the others had been waiting there for some time, and greeted Ye Chen and his group upon their arrival.
"Your Highness! Principal Lin En!" Ye Chen and the others nodded in greeting. Ye Chen had already decided that Lin En would serve as the principal of the academy, while Wen Cheng would be the vice principal, and the others would serve as teachers in the school.
The so-called academy and teaching buildings were not as grand as one might imagine, and were incomparable to the universities Ye Chen and his friends attended on Blue Star. They were merely stone houses built of earth and stones. However, under the control of the Earth Gods, these stone houses were exceptionally sturdy and posed no risk of collapse.
Moreover, this stone house is not very tall, it is only a one-story building, but it occupies a large area and is divided into four large classrooms, each of which can accommodate about a hundred people.
"Very good. As long as we set up the tables and chairs, we can start the class!" Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction after looking at the classroom environment.
The conditions in the territory are naturally incomparable to those on Earth. Although Ye Chen brought back cement recipes and many books on construction, it will still take time to put them into practice. The most urgent task is to ensure everyone's survival.
“Then I’ll go tell the carpenters to bring the tables and chairs over. As long as we have enough manpower, we can set it up tonight and start classes tomorrow!” Cecilia said excitedly. This is the first school on the Primordial Star, and it’s a school led by Ye Chen with Fifth-Order Lynn as its principal.
If it can be developed well, the new Aini City built on the basis of this school will reap unimaginable huge benefits, and may even take advantage of this opportunity to become the hegemon of the entire Xiniuhe Continent.
"Don't worry, the money will be enough. Just find someone and pay them at the normal rate!" Finance Minister Xia Qingyi said generously. "In addition, I will give you a detailed list of rewards in the next day or two. Starting today, we will encourage childbirth, and all families with multiple children will receive a monetary reward!"
Ye Chen had been racking his brains trying to figure out how to properly distribute the gold coins that Fatty had created. Now that Xia Qingyi had arrived, she had come up with several solutions for him.
Isn't the territory short of people? Then let them have children. I'll give them money for each child they have, and the more children they have, the more I'll give. Wouldn't that solve both the funding allocation and the population problem at the same time?
"Okay, once you've sorted it out, I'll distribute it as soon as possible. Everyone will definitely be happy to hear this news!" Cecilia said with a hint of excitement. Although the money wasn't very useful right now, he knew it was always good to save more, as currency would surely come in handy.
"By the way, there are quite a few of you Aini people, so you and your guards are basically their managers. I will give you all the funds that the lord allocates, and you can then distribute them according to the various categories. Remember, you should be rewarded for your work, and you are absolutely not allowed to get something for nothing!" Xia Qingyi said, and Cecilia nodded repeatedly.
As the news spread, a large number of movers brought over tables, and the four classrooms were quickly filled. A rough count showed that they could accommodate about 500 students, which was quite considerable. Moreover, more classrooms were still under construction.
"Cecilia, go and inform all the races that all underage children need to be sent here to study. Currently, all races are in the process of development and construction, and they don't have time to take care of those children. Why not just set up a nursery next to the school and send them all here for unified care!" With the desks and chairs completely arranged, the classroom was considered to be truly completed. Ye Chen thought for a moment and said to Cecilia.
More than 20,000 people fled to the Primordial Star, but the number of children was actually not many, less than a thousand. At Ye Chen's request, most of those gathered were talents from all walks of life. However, there were also some people without qualifications or background who took the risk and risked their lives to grab a spot and then send their children over.
Therefore, among these more than a thousand children, there are quite a few orphans. After arriving on the Primordial Star, they couldn't even earn money through labor. If Ye Chen hadn't been distributing food, they might not even have been able to survive.
If they can be gathered together and cared for in a unified manner, it will be of great benefit to their growth.
“Great! I’ll arrange it right away! I’ve already compiled a roster of all the personnel. I was just worried about how to take care of these orphans. It’s wonderful that you’re willing to take care of them all!” Cecilia said excitedly, while gesturing to the guards beside her. The matter was quickly put into action.
The biggest advantage of centralized management is that instructions can be executed quickly, but this can only be used when there are not many people. As the population grows and life becomes more comfortable, all sorts of people with ulterior motives will emerge.
