Chapter 202 The road to development
Roland took a sip of his tea, then said: “In addition, I intend to set up a prihold, which will be the examination project that decides whether you will continue serving as the administrator or not
Hearing the word “examination”, Petrov’s ears immediately stood up, “Primary education system?”
“Yes,” Roland nodded with a sh Priest killed, and the Church’s forces weakened by ht over ideological positions He didn’t expect to transform all believers into potential workers who met with his standards; he only hoped to weaken the Church’s influence even further In case the Holy City wanted to ht about many ways to keep the a new church here
“The prihold’s residents under the age of forty, regardless of whether they are , sie and also ideological education” Roland waved his hand, holding off the other’s questions, “Rest assured, the cost will be deducted fro of the next10 will be used as special education fee With it can you recruit a few scholars frohts or squires, but these people won’t need so old royals, so you have to do much more than just hire people with it”
After thinking for a hness, do you mean to say, that I should use the money to motivate the civilians to attend the education courses?”
This guy’s ht, with the exception of the children,the day, so their education courses have to be held in the evening, allowing the busy the whole day, instead of resting, no one wants to co the their brain to learn how to read and write
“Because of this you have to lure the them a dinner that hasprocess they can also get a ht and spacious classroom is also essential” He paused, “In short, youthe education courses to all the residents of the stronghold As I said, this is also your exahold’s population needs to have reached literacy”
“But Your Royal Highness…” Petrov hesitated “Noto the nobility, they funda civilians how to read and write, even less teaching theical education,” he had to read the hard to pronounce noun of the parchment “In fact, even I do not quite understand the wordsthese people, I am afraid you cannot achieve your desired result”
“Do not worry, I have already taken all that into account,” Roland paused “I’ll send a group of officials from Border Town’s City Hall to help you realize it Furthermore, all the books you need for the education will be provided by Border Town They have a wealth of experience in how to teach, so they can show the people you recruit how to teach, and then, your personal will have to start to educate the residents At that time you and they will have coements will be done when they arrive”
This way, as long as Petrov wanted to keep in control of Longsong Stronghold, it was inevitable that he worked together with the Prince’s staff, and by placing his aids at critical positions within the Ministry of Education, news reaching or happening in Longsong Stronghold could also be passed on to Border Town in the first moments
Seeing that Petrov didn’t show any objections, Roland began to explain his final co Stronghold and Border Town to shorten the traveling time between the two locations for pedestrians and caravans”
“Your Royal Highness, don’t we already have a way between those two?” Petrov asked in surprise
Aover it can be counted as a road? With a width less than two meters, filled with mud by the rain, and furtherh-speed carriages
Roland shook his head “I want to build a road that can accoes side by side A road that is flat and straight, and won’t be covered ater during rain, exactly like the road in Border Town”
“YouDuke looked a little surprised, “The costs of such a road isn’t low, it requires the mason to cut the stones and then they have to pick out the stones with the right sizes which can be used together A gravel road to Border Toould at least cost five thousand gold royals, and with all due respect Your Highness, ill never get so much money without a tax increase”
“The stronghold only needs to provide the workforce” The Prince stated bluntly, “You will issue a recruithout the whole Western Territory, not just Longsong Stronghold, including all of the other noble’s territories The monthly salary will be six silver royals, with that sum, I believe there should be plenty of applicants”
