The Extraordinary Earl

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 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 speed is very fast.

The crops will be planted this spring, and after the autumn harvest, the food will be piled up.

"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 build a junior school, a senior school, and a knight's 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 headache.

Before that, Luther had asked him to do something.

Pompeii is now very large, with a permanent population of about 100,000. Such a huge city is divided into many communities.

In each community, Luther left a plot of land open to build a school.

He said he wanted to send civilians 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, his beard twitching in anger.

"I decided to build the previously reserved school land 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 students from the nobility and middle class, but also farmers and workers. As for how many junior schools, senior schools, and knight schools are needed in the territory, let’s discuss it.”

Luther's opening was really impressive.

However, Lelouch's eyes turned whiter and he said angrily: "I have never understood why you are so concerned about civilians studying?"

"Because the future belongs to civilians." 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 eyes like this and waved his hand. Then he thought about it and said, "But if you want to recruit civilian students, it's very difficult. First of all, civilians don't have money to send their children to school, and ordinary civilians don't think there is any use in studying. As for the knight school, I don't need to talk about training. How much money is needed to produce a knight? Common people simply cannot 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. After graduation, they will have priority to enter the Pompei family's factory. If they are knights, they will have priority to join the Pompei family's army."

"As for civilians thinking that reading is useless, that's even simpler. Carry out propaganda."

"For example, let's say there are two children of a farmer, one James and one 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 is not so scarce now, I also plan to establish a wizard school. ”

Luther raised his head and wrote a few words on his face.

I am a wealthy person.

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 also 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 the money was kept in the warehouse, it would be like letting it go 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 from 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 the 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.

What's more, 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, worked hard to earn a fortune, got married, and had children, his children would not 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 was to increase the literacy rate in the entire territory in one generation, and then complete the evolution in the second generation.

Enter 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 the modern level.

Trains, cars, power grids, computers.

This seems a bit fanciful, but Luther is very confident in himself, because he is a lord, and what he says is a decree.

Luther's willpower can penetrate the entire territory.

Such efficiency can definitely promote this plan.

The second thing is that Luther has money.

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.

Pick up the phone, lower your head and scroll through WeChat.

Can it be done in this world?

We want to play.
