Release that Witch

202. Chapter 202 Road to Pioneering

聽聽聽聽Roland took a sip of tea and went on to say, 鈥淚n addition, I plan to start a basic education at Longsong Stronghold, which is also an assessment of whether you can continue to manage Longsong Stronghold.鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽Upon hearing the word assessment, Petrov鈥檚 ear immediately erected, 鈥淏asic education?鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽“Yes,” he nodded with a smile. Now that the church is destroyed, High Priest is killed, and the power of Church here has been weakened, which is a good time to fight for ideas. He does not expect to transform all believers into potential qualified workers, as long as he further eliminates Church’s influence, then it will be alright. Holy City If you want to get to Longsong Stronghold again, Roland has a lot of ways to keep them out, and I don’t even think about building a new church.

聽聽聽聽鈥淏asic education is for strongholds. All residents under the age of 40, regardless of gender, include text reading and writing, simple calculations, natural knowledge popularization and ideological education.鈥漅oland waved his hand and pressed the other’s question. “Reassure, this cost will be deducted from the taxes paid to Border Town’s. Starting this month, you only need to pay 20% of the tax, and the remaining 10% is used as a special education cost – you can recruit several scholars from Kingdom Capital, or hire local Knight squire and lonely noble, but these People can’t spend much money. The 10% tax is also at least a thousand gold royals, so you have to do more than that. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽Petrov thought for a moment and said: “His Royal Highness, what do you mean by using this money to motivate residents to receive education?”

聽聽聽聽This guy is really very responsive, Roland laughs. “Yes, except for children, most people have a life to do in the daytime, so their education should start at night. I can be busy all day, and when I am at rest, no one wants to listen to others, let alone learn literacy. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽鈥淪o you can use some means to entice them to learn, such as offering a dinner with meat, such as a quick reward for getting money, etc. Of course, bright and spacious classrooms are also essential.鈥滺e paused, “In short, you have to do everything you can to spread this work to the stronghold of all residents. As I said, this is also an assessment of you: one year later, I asked for stronghold literacy more than 50%. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽“But Your Highness…”Petrov hesitated and said, “No matter whether it is a scholar or a noble, they have no experience in literacy, let alone natural knowledge and ideological education.” He read the few terms of the mouth, “in fact, even me. I don’t understand much. With these people, I am afraid I can’t achieve the effect you want. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽鈥淚 also considered this,鈥?Roland said. 鈥淒on’t worry, I will send a number of City Hall officials to help you with this, and the books needed for education are all provided by Border Town. They are experienced and can teach the people you recruited first and then educate the residents. By the time you talk to them, you will understand that the specific matters can be handled by them. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽In this way, as long as he still wants to continue to control stronghold, it will inevitably enable this group of people, the prince thinks, and through the Ministry of Education officials to insert a close letter, Longsong Stronghold news can be passed back to Border Town.

聽聽聽聽Seeing Petrov did not express any objection, Roland began to explain the last order: “The third thing, I plan to build a road between Longsong Stronghold and Border Town to shorten the time between pedestrians and caravans.”

聽聽聽聽“His Royal Highness, there is already a road between the two places, Ah?
“Petrov is awkward.

聽聽聽聽Can a mud path that is stepped on by people be a road? Less than two meters wide, the rain is full of mud, and the road is full of potholes, not suitable for high-speed carriages. Roland shook his head. “The road I want to build can accommodate at least two carriages side by side. The road is flat and straight, and there is no water in the rain, just like the Border Town’s street.”

聽聽聽聽“Do you mean gravel road?”Agent City Lord looks a little surprised. “The cost of this kind of road is not low. It needs to be scribbled by Stonemason, and the stones of the right size can be used together. It takes at least 5,000 gold royals to build a stronghold to Border Town’s gravel road. Your Highness, IMHO, Longsong Stronghold, if you don’t add taxes, I’m afraid I can’t get that much money. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽鈥渟tronghold can only be provided by manpower.鈥漈he prince bluntly said, “You have issued recruitment notices to various territories in the Western Region, not just Longsong Stronghold, but also the major family territories. The salary is six silver royals per month. The construction period is one year. I believe that there should be many people applying. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽“Handyman’s words, six silver royals are a relatively high salary,” Petrov nodded. “I don’t know how many people you want to recruit?”

聽聽聽聽鈥淎t least two thousand people,鈥?Roland answered.

聽聽聽聽This is the cost of hiring handyman. Every month is a small amount. Together with Stonemason and the gravel worker, it is absolutely expensive in the eyes of others. Few feudal lords are willing to build their own money. This seemingly unrewarding thing can be seen from the other person’s expression. But now Border Town has been able to sell the Steam engine, and the income and expenses can be basically balanced. Roland never intends to have the gold royal in the warehouse. It is undoubtedly the best to invest in the infrastructure. s Choice.

聽聽聽聽Building a high-quality road connecting stronghold and Border Town’s is of great significance, not only facilitating trade and ties between the two places in the future, but also a prerequisite for rapid deployment of the military. If the traffic is inconvenient, even if I receive the news that the stronghold was attacked, I will wait until three days before I rushed over. I am afraid that the city鈥檚 flag is flying.

聽聽聽聽I understandPetrov is leading the way.

聽聽聽聽“For the time being, you have to do so much. I will return to Border Town soon, so I can do it. Mr. Ambassador, don’t let me down. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽When Petrov retired, he suddenly remembered something and stopped and asked, “His Royal Highness, what should those people who are in prison be treated?”

聽聽聽聽Roland’s first answer was not so happy. He paused for a moment before saying, “Hold them, they can’t live for too long.”

鈥︹€?/p>

聽聽聽聽Boarding HMS Little Town, the prince embarked on his way home.

聽聽聽聽“You don’t seem to be in a good mood?”Nightingale showed up and asked, “Is it because of the civilians?”

聽聽聽聽“They are all forced by Timothy,” Roland sighed. “If you don’t take the pill, if you are manipulated, they won’t act as the other’s minions and die in this strange land.”

聽聽聽聽“This is not your fault.”Nightingale reached out and held his arm.

聽聽聽聽鈥淥f course not,鈥?Roland said without hesitation. 鈥淚f I can’t stop them, small town will be a victim of Timothy’s desire for power. Of course, Church, which manufactures pills, is one of the culprit. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽“So you will destroy Church and end the dispute so that people no longer have to kill each other for this senseless reason, right?”Nightingale smiled and asked, “Whether it’s an ordinary person or a witch, you can live happily under your rule.”

鈥溾€︹€︹€漅oland glanced at the shining eyes of the other and nodded. “Well, I promise.”
