Chapter 300 The Prodigal Son of Pompeii

Of course, Luther's idea was not yet mature.

Only a ghost knows if it is possible to make something like a mobile phone in a supernatural world and then return to being a low-headed person.

But it is not difficult to carry out education reform and promote industrialization at the same time, such as building a train.

All in all, this territory belongs to Luther, and Luther can do whatever he wants. If Luther gets interested and wants to build a robot, the people below will just hold their noses and admit it.

So that day Luther asked Lelouch to establish the Ministry of Education, which was responsible for coordinating the establishment of schools, recruiting teachers, compiling teaching materials, and conducting educational propaganda and other work.

It is expected that the school will be built and enroll students in about half a year.

By the way, Luther also invented something called printing.

There is nothing difficult about this thing. Luther just talked about the idea and the craftsmen made it immediately.

Since education is developing in the future, the demand for books will be huge, and having a magical tool like printing is both beneficial and harmless.

All in all, the willful lord and tycoon started burning money.

When the city hall launched vigorous construction and publicity activities due to Luther's order, Luther received a nickname.

"The prodigal son of Pompeii."

The nobles had a certain resistance to this plan of the Pompeii family.

Bosch Taya is such a typical nobleman. He is not a knight, but a scholar with expertise in oil painting.

He is a thirty-two-year-old young nobleman. He was born and lived in Sparta, the territory of the Marquis of Parker. On the day that the Marquis of Parker was eliminated, he fled the city of Sparta with his family and came south to

Pompeii.

He currently lives with his wife and three children in a small villa in Pompeii.

This morning, the sunshine was very beautiful. However, it was still a bit cold in spring, so Mr. Bosch still wore thicker clothes.

After Mr. Boss got up, his wife was still busy in the kitchen, but the three children were already sitting on the dining table, with hot soup on the dining table.

The children were drinking soup. After Mr. Boss sat down, he also picked up the spoon and drank the soup.

Mr. Bosch 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 with him when he escaped from Sparta, and buying this house made his life difficult.

"Hey, I don't know what the Governor-General thinks, but he actually allows civilians to receive free education." Mr. Bose shook his head, his expression was very confusing and somewhat dissatisfied.

"The Governor spends his own money to let the common people receive education, why are you complaining? And our children can also receive free education." Boss's wife, Mrs. Ari, came over with steak and bread, put them down and said.

"What do you know? Once the common people receive education, they will compete with us for jobs. In the past, many things were done by our nobles. As for the education of the children, I can teach them."

Boss said.

"That will happen in the future. The problem now is that our family has no money now, and you have to find a job. Didn't the Ministry of Education start recruiting teachers? Go and try."

Mrs. Ari picked up a piece of bread and moved it away to eat.

"You want me to teach civilians? No," Mr. Boss looked unhappy and shook his head.

"Then we won't have steak to eat in a few days."

Mrs. Airey raised a very practical issue.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Mr. Bosch suddenly lost his energy and surrendered.

But he also reached out and touched the children's heads, because he realized that with the opening up of education, his generation was pretty good, but his children would compete with civilian children for job opportunities.

Whether they are civilians or nobles, only stronger people can get more decent jobs.

…………

People from the Ministry of Education started recruiting teachers, conducting educational propaganda, and building schools throughout the Baiying Territory.

The job of recruiting teachers was very simple. Luther sent a recruiter to the Ministry of Education, hired a large number of children, and distributed leaflets to the well-dressed nobles to introduce the salary and benefits of being a teacher.

The effect is very good, and many nobles who are living in embarrassment are ready to take action.

Promoting the benefits of education to civilians is a bit more complicated.

The Ministry of Education summoned eloquent officials, the same officials who launched agricultural promotion last time, to carry out propaganda one by one, village by village, community by community.

For example, in Pompeii, there were many such officials every day, standing on a small wooden platform and greeting pedestrians on the roadside.

Then talk about the benefits of getting an education.

It's like giving a speech.

Based on Luther's suggestion, some inspirational stories were compiled to persuade the common people to let their children enter school and receive education.

The effect was pretty good, at least the enthusiasm of the civilians was aroused.

But there are two ways to enter the school, the ordinary school and the knight school, and the children of the common people are very enthusiastic about the knight school.

Pompeii Village 1.

This is one of the twenty strongholds established by Luther. According to Luther's previous plan, he would continue to establish strongholds and rely on land taxation to live a happy life of rich wealth.

Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation, and the development speed is a bit fast now.

Luther already has the White Eagle Territory, and there are still many things that need to be developed within the White Eagle Territory. Luther has no plans to expand into the Endless Deep Forest.

Luther had long forgotten that when Pompeii Village 1 was established, he personally inspected Pompeii Village 1 and had a brief contact with a little boy named Gold Coin.

But Jin Coin always remembered his meeting with Luther, and he made a new friend named Dumb. The two agreed to become knights together in the future and serve the Pompeii family.

Now that spring plowing has begun, although Jin Coin is still a child, he still has to go to the fields to help. He works during the day and sleeps at night.

But today the propaganda team of the Ministry of Education arrived at Pompeii Village No. 1 and carried out propaganda.

Jin Coin went with his parents. After listening to the introduction by the officials from the Ministry of Education, Jin Coin's eyes lit up.

"Dad, I want to go to knight school and become a knight." Gold Coin pulled the father next to him and said.

Jin Coin looks very ordinary, and his father is also very ordinary, a standard farmer. Because he has been farming all his life, his vision is also very narrow.

He didn't know what the Ministry of Education's propaganda meant to civilians.

But this farmer has one advantage: he loves his children very much. And it’s free of charge.

He thought for a while, touched Jin Coin's head, and simply said, "Okay."

Jin Coin was so happy that he almost jumped up on the spot. He finally restrained himself, he thought to himself.

"I will definitely take Dumb with me when school starts."

Because his friend Ah-Dai is a child of a serf family. Ah-Dai's parents are very insensitive and stupid, and Ah-Dai is also a bit dull. If he didn't drag his friends along, Ah-Dai would probably be a farmer for the rest of his life.
