Therefore, in response to Laiton’s request from some residents to expand the teaching hours and scope of night schools, Chateau’s answer was—

"no!"

Of course not! In the past, adults taking enlightenment classes would inevitably take up more of the teacher's energy, and the development potential of adults is far less than that of children, but their ability to accept new knowledge is not necessarily weaker than that of children. It is obviously inappropriate to take classes together.

Furthermore, children in the Territory now attend enlightenment classes for free. This is because Xia Duo wants to invest in the future of the children, but how much potential do those adults have worth investing in?

However, Xia Duo did not finish his sentence completely, but still left an opening, "Lai Dun, you can do some statistics to see how many adults want to take enlightenment classes.

"As long as the number exceeds one hundred, I agree to send the Master of the Tower of Time to give them special classes. Of course, adults should not think about free tuition. The tuition fee is tentatively set at 5 gold coins per class, but it must be paid at least for ten classes. .

"I will discuss the specific arrangements with the Tower of Time. You can count the number of people first and tell me later."

In Xia Duo's hometown, there is specialized adult education, with various types, and you can choose at will. Of course, it is not free. As the same saying goes, compared to children, the potential of adults is too low.

Occasionally there are a few late bloomers, but they are just cases. From a statistical point of view, these cases are simply variables that need to be eliminated.

Of course, Xia Duo considers charging fees not only because adults have lower potential than children, but also because the Tower of Time has limited manpower. Currently, the territory implements preschool general education, and the Tower of Time has very few qualified teachers. .

Even if they are all new mages who have participated in the compilation of the Enlightenment Book before, if it is free, so many people who have taught fields before will come all at once, and it will be impossible to teach at all.

Of course, one-on-one online classes are also possible, but Xia Duo still hopes that every student can have the opportunity to communicate with the teacher, and the more the better.

Perhaps only by waiting for future "teaching machines" to be put into practical use can citizens truly obtain a low-cost and high-quality one-to-one teaching experience.

But by then, with educational resources so abundant, will the citizens still be as eager to learn as they are now?

But no matter what, society is always progressing, and development problems must still be solved through development. We cannot deliberately create a shortage of educational resources just because there are abundant educational resources and some people are tired of studying.

…

"How is the code promotion work going?"

"Most of the official territorial citizens are actively studying the territorial code, and the results are very gratifying, but many new territorial citizens are still skeptical about the territorial code."

"This requires continuous strengthening of the legal system! In addition to preaching the code and making the boundaries of the law clear to the people, law enforcement officers must clarify the spirit of the law, govern according to the law, and strictly enforce the law. Public trials should not be stopped, and those who can be tried should be tried as much as possible. The public trial must let the new territorial residents know the territory’s attitude towards the code.”

"Yes, sir."

Lai Dun agreed without hesitation, but after agreeing, he hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Xia Duo pretended to be angry and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Do you have any unspeakable secrets with me?"

"Sir, there are too many new residents in the territory. They have brought bad habits from outside to the Daxia Territory. Jibu has complained to me many times that the security personnel are insufficient. If it were not for the deterrent force of Meili's flying patrol, , I don’t know how much trouble there will be!”

It was the first time that Xia Duo saw Lai Dun with such a rich and vivid expression, but if he laughed out loud because of this, it would inevitably lose the majesty of the lord, and the security of the new territory's citizens did seem to be a problem.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo asked Laiton: "Have the official citizens of the territory been affected by the new citizens?"

"I don't know what aspect you are referring to. If you are talking about whether the formal citizens have contracted the bad habits of the new citizens, then I can definitely say that the vast majority of them have not! But if we are talking about whether the formal citizens have any bad habits in their lives and work. If you’re disturbed, that’s it.”

"That's it!"

Xia Duo was pleased with the performance of the official citizens. It should be said that this was the level that the official citizens of Daxia should have. However, he was also worried about the arrangements for the new citizens.

The weather is getting colder and colder now, and it can be regarded as winter. If it were spring and summer, these new territorial residents could quickly integrate into the territorial order through labor, but now it seems that they can no longer work for a few days.

There is still a long winter ahead!

There are nearly 100,000 unstable factors, which is really troublesome.

Xia Duo did not want to use force to suppress them. After all, they were all his own people in the future, and there should be a gentler way to allow them to quickly integrate into the territory.

"I would like to mention a few points. One is to promote the Code. Temporary lecturers can be recruited from official residents in the name of the Government Affairs Office. This can not only popularize the law, but also teach literacy."

What Xia Duo thought was that as long as the new-collar civilians were not left idle, they would not cause trouble. Literacy could be a great weapon, and there were not many opportunities for Naise civilians to be literate.

The more stable thing is to join the local mage tower as an apprentice (servant) when you are young. If you miss this, you can also become a craftsman apprentice, and you will have a good chance to learn writing.

In the end, you have to pay scholars to start a small business, but the teaching and learning of words are all skillful. If you pay, one is willing to kill and the other is willing to suffer. It is difficult to say how much it will cost.

In addition, mastering text requires frequent reading and practice. If you are separated from the text environment for too long, those who were originally literate may become illiterate again.

It can be said that as long as they are "refugees", there is basically no environment where they are often exposed to writing. In other words, most of the new residents should be illiterate.

Literacy is a precious but not that important opportunity for them, at least from their perspective.

Teaching literacy should be able to stabilize some people's hearts. In addition, Xia Duo said: "Second point, regarding the shortage of security officers, temporary security officers can also be recruited. As long as they are familiar with the territorial security management regulations, they can serve."

This is actually a "vigilante". The territory should have such a personnel reserve, and even a personnel reserve mechanism, which can play a role at critical moments.

“Third point, I once again emphasize that strict law enforcement means that law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be punished. Public trials must not be stopped, and those who can be tried must try their best to do so in public. During public trials, invite new residents to the scene to watch, and combine the laws and regulations Preaching does not require them to understand the spirit of the law, but they must at least respect the territorial code.”

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo felt as if he had missed something, and recalled for a moment before continuing: "In addition to temporary security officers, the number of formal security officers must also be increased, but the assessment standards cannot be lowered.

"The other is the Territory Guard, which recruits a group of tough people among the new territorial residents into the army. I believe that the training of iron and blood will help them quickly integrate into the territorial order."

"yes!"
