The Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 301 The Prodigal Son of the Pompeii Family

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 with it. If Luther became interested and wanted to build a robot, the people below would have no choice but to 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.

This thing is not difficult. 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 an artifact like printing will be beneficial and harmless.

All in all, the wayward tycoon started burning money.

When the city hall launched a vigorous construction and publicity campaign 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. But it was still a bit cold in spring, so Mr. Boss 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 eating soup. Mr. Boss sat down and took a spoon to drink the soup.

Mr. Bosch missed 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 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 allow civilians to receive education. Why are you complaining? And our children can also receive free education." Bose's wife, Mrs. Ari, came over with steak and bread and said after putting them down.

"What do you know? Once commoners receive education, they will compete with us for jobs. Many things were done by us nobles before. As for the children's education, 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. Airey 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. Ari 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 doing pretty well, 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 White Eagle 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 distress 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 proposal, 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, so Luther has no plan to expand into the Endless Forest.

Luther has long forgotten that when he established Pompeii No. 1 Village, he personally inspected Pompeii No. 1 Village and had a brief contact with a little boy named Jinbi.

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

Now the spring plowing has begun. Although Jinbi is still a child, he also has to go to the fields to help. Work during the day and sleep at night.

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

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

"Dad, I'm going to the Knight School for classes. I want to be a knight." Jinbi pulled his father next to him and said.

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

He didn't know what this propaganda from the Ministry of Education meant to ordinary people.

But this farmer had one advantage, he loved children very much. And it was free.

He thought about it, touched the head of the gold coin, and simply said one word: "Okay."

The gold coin was so happy that he almost jumped up on the spot. He finally held back, and thought to himself.

"I must take Ah Dai with me when school starts."

Because his friend Ah Dai was the child of a serf, Ah Dai's parents were numb and stupid, and Ah Dai was also a little stupid. If he didn't take his friends with him, Ah Dai would probably be a farmer for life.
