The two exchanged pleasantries, and Luther sat down. At the same time, Luther also asked the staff to get a cup of black tea, and he drank it happily.
He basically ate meat on Treasure Planet and lacked vitamins.
While drinking black tea, Luther asked Lelouch about the work of agricultural promotion, listening and nodding.
Okay, the promotion is very fast.
The crops will be planted this spring, and after the autumn harvest, the food will be piled up like a mountain.
"Now that agricultural promotion has been completed, let's talk about another matter." Luther put down the black tea and said seriously.
"What's going on?" Lelouch couldn't help but become serious.
"I plan to establish a junior school, a senior school, and a knight school in all aspects." Luther said, this is an idea that has been around for a long time.
Ordinary schools to improve the literacy rate of the people.
Knight School increases the number of knights in the territory.
The Pompeii family will receive a steady stream of knights from the knight school, the cradle of knights.
"It's definitely not an ordinary school building plan." Lelouch looked at Luther's serious expression and suddenly felt a little headache.
Before that, Luther 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 an open space for him to build a school.
It was said that he was going to send commoners to school. At that time, Lelouch thought Luther was crazy, but now he felt that trouble was coming.
"You still understand me." Luther said with a smile.
"I'm not complimenting you." Lelouch rolled his eyes and was so angry that his beard twitched.
"I decided to build the school land that was left over at one time, and build several lower-level schools in the countryside outside the city according to the location. Not only in Pompeii, but also in the entire White Eagle Territory, schools should be built at one time. Schools
We will not only recruit nobles and middle class students, but also students from farmers and workers. As for how many junior schools, senior schools, and knight schools are needed in the territory, let us discuss it."
Luther's opening was really impressive.
However, Lelouch's eyes became even whiter and he said angrily: "I have never understood why you are so concerned about civilians studying?"
"Because the future belongs to the common people," Luther said.
"Scaremongering, 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 like this and waved his hand. Then he thought about it and said, "But it's very difficult for you to recruit civilian students. First of all, the civilians don't have money.
They provide their own children with education, and ordinary civilians don’t think there is any use in studying. As for the knight school, I don’t need to tell you how much money it takes to train a knight. Common people simply can’t afford this expense.”
"But now there is good news, because too many nobles have poured into Pompeii. Among them are scholars, artists, knights, and some of them need decent jobs, so teachers don't have to worry."
After telling the bad news, Lelouch gave him an afterthought smile.
"This is not a problem at all. The Pompeii family will provide the money, but there is a condition. If 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 common people who think reading is useless, that's even simpler. Propagate."
"For example, let's say there are two children of a farmer, one is James and the other is Howard. James didn't read, so he could only farm. Howard read, so he became an official in the city hall and lived a decent life. Use this kind of story
, make it more exciting and let people know the difference between literacy and illiterate."
Luther said.
Lulu Xiu was picking up the tea cup to drink tea, and almost spit out a mouthful of old tea. He quickly swallowed the black tea, put down the tea 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 education reform in the entire territory, so that everyone has the opportunity to receive education and become a knight. If the number of wizards in the White Eagle Territory were not so scarce now, I would also plan to establish a wizard school.
.”
Luther raised his head and wrote several words on his face.
I am a rich man.
Luther was definitely a very big tycoon. Before the war, he made a fortune from Pompeii wine, another fortune from selling real estate, plus the gold coins he had hoarded before.
The current number of gold coins owned by the Pompeii family exceeds one million.
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 the education of a generation within the territory.
Luther calculated this account very clearly. If money is kept in a warehouse, it will become moldy. Money can be used to make money, and doing business is a good choice.
And investing in education will also be a good choice.
By increasing the literacy rate of the entire society, many talents will emerge among the civilian population, which can promote the industrialization process of the entire territory.
If White Eagle Territory prospered to the point where it became the most prosperous territory in the entire world, how much tax revenue would it be?
How many opportunities do the Pompeii family have to make money?
Not to mention knights.
Now the Pompeii family invests gold coins to train knights. When the knights grow up, they can support the Pompeii family to defend their territory, not to mention that there is an elemental planet that requires a large number of knights to develop.
Guaranteed profit without loss.
More importantly, the investment only takes one generation. For example, Xiao Ming is an eight-year-old child who received free education from the Pompeii family. After he became a knight, he worked hard to earn a sum of money, then got married, and then had a child.
The 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 the European Middle Ages, or even worse. Luther's idea was to use one generation to increase the literacy rate in the entire territory, and the evolution would be completed in the second generation.
Entering the modern state model.
That is to build the White Eagle Territory into a country that not only possesses extraordinary power, but also has entered a modern level.
Trains, cars, power grids, computers.
This seems a bit fanciful, but Luther was very confident in himself, because he was a lord, and what he said was a decree.
Luther's willpower can penetrate the entire territory.
Such efficiency can definitely promote this plan.
Secondly, Luther is rich.
Local tycoon.
Luther has had this idea for a long time. Only people living in this world will miss and miss everything in the previous life.
Don't say anything else.
