Chapter 27 The starting point of the school!

"Seventeen islands, twenty-six villages and towns are divided into the 100-mile waters of the Jumenadal Islands. For the kingdoms of the East China Sea, these overseas islands are like idle ribs, or in other words, the benefits obtained are far less than investment, the unpredictable oceans, as well as the sea kings cruising in the sea, and the pirates who plunder merchant ships are all dangerous variables. They must be entrusted with the jurisdiction of the navy, but the navy needs to provide military expenditures and other expenses, which are enough to make every king feel distressed."

"So, it's better to give it up and leave it to the navy for management. As for taxes, the navy has the final say, so as to offset a military expenditure."

Clow pointed to the charts he was coming from the Navy and talked freely.

A person's personality is often related to experience. He is innocent and passionate when he was young, sophisticated and worldly in middle age, and nostalgic when he was old, but not constant.

From a kingdom fraudster who everyone calls to beat, to becoming the head of the Arkham Chamber of Commerce, Clow felt an experience that he had never been before. People would use positive words to evaluate him, respect him, love him, and have a sense of accomplishment from the heart, which gave Clow great satisfaction. He liked this feeling, simply put, it was a sense of social identity.

For this sense of identity, Clow naturally worked hard, not to mention that he made a mistake not long ago and almost killed Guina.

"After field investigation, I found that the environment of each island is different. Some are suitable for planting fruit trees, some are suitable for planting coffee, and some are excellent ports... Aaron and his group are blindly squeezing local residents, and people are in panic, so that the economy of each island is destroyed. Over time, it is not surprising that it becomes a deserted island."

Clow pushed his glasses and said, "Pirates are pirates after all, they only know how to rob, not how to manage!"

"But, we're different."

Liszt leaned against the chair, held the back of his head with his hands and put his feet on the table, agreeing: "Indeed, we are different. I prefer to make the cake bigger, but before that, we must ensure the safety of the cake. Colonel Mouse can cooperate, but be vigilant and let him see our fists at the appropriate time. In addition, within half a year, I hope that more than one-third of the people in the 16th Division of the Navy belong to their own people, so as not to avoid the new commander not admitting the agreement signed by his predecessor after Colonel Mouse was transferred away."

Clow nodded and said, "It may be a bit difficult for another branch, but according to the investigation of the Intelligence Department, the 16th branch, from the commander to the navy, has serious internal corruption, and Bailey is in place, everything is easy to say."

"It is not only necessary to corrupt, but also assimilate. It is best to send some people in. There is a bird called the dove that never builds its own nest. They will put the eggs into the nest and let the birds hatch eggs for them and feed them."

Speaking of this, Liszt suddenly asked: "Is there any island that is not suitable for development?"

Clow nodded. There were too many islands on the sea. He pointed to the chart and said, "This bird island is named because it looks like a seabird. There are many reefs and vortexes near the sea area. It is difficult to travel by merchant ships. It is close to windless belts. There are sea kings, and even super large sea kings. It is very dangerous. The vegetation on the island is tall, with many beasts and ferocious birds. It lives in a village with more than 100 people. It relies on hunting for a living. Overall, the development value is too small."

"Oh, it just so happens that I plan to build a school where children of appropriate age from all islands can be admitted." Liszt said.

"School?"

“It’s a place to learn.”

In Donghai, there is currently no such institution as a school.

The world class is clearly distinguished. The pyramid is at the top of the pyramid, which dominates the world government. Next is the world government joins the kingdom and rules various kingdoms, and then the kingdom nobles, involving commerce, agriculture and other industries. Secondly, the handicraftsmen and civilians engaged in all walks of life, and finally slaves. On the East Sea Bridge, there are a large number of slaves, and most of the countries are people and criminals who refuse to join the world government.

The children of nobles are born with privileges, and their education is taught by knowledgeable people invited by their parents.

The children of ordinary people rely on their parents' education. Due to their parents' knowledge level, they mostly master their parents' skills, which forms a craft model of father passing through sons. Of course, some ordinary people are willing to break out of this model and worship others as teachers. In places like the Jiandao Hall and the library, they start with apprentices and teach knowledge by their masters.

As for the children of slaves, they are born slaves and master the knowledge that their masters need or allow them to master.

Therefore, institutions like schools are forgotten, or for the nobles, there is no need to exist. What they need are civilians who work in peace and slaves who work obediently. The "policy of fooling the people" is the best way.

Building a school was an idea that Liszt had long been an idea, but she did not have the conditions to build a school before. Shelds Town was not a good choice. O'Hara's destruction was still in front of her. The world government was quite sensitive to the spread of knowledge, so Liszt needed a hidden and low-key place to launch his own plan.

The villagers who were bullied by pirates began to rebuild their homes.

"Really?"

"Well, the above said that from today on, all fruits on the island will be acquired and exported by the Arkham Chamber of Commerce, and ensure that the purchase price will not be lower than that of other acquirers."

In Cocoxiya Village, in front of the notice board, villagers gathered together and listened to Sheriff Ajian's explanation.

The island where Kokoxia Village is located has a pleasant climate, a subtropical rainforest climate, with sufficient sunlight, suitable for growing fruits, especially citrus, which are famous far and wide, so Kokoxia Village is also called Orange Village.

"No problem, if Mr. Arkham hadn't defeated the Dragon Pirates, we wouldn't know if we could still live." Someone said.

Mr. Arkham is the name given to Liszt by villagers.

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Arkham was willing to rebuild the village and provide supplies, and at half price, the newly shipped food, vegetables, and other commodities were much cheaper than before."

"yes!"

"What else? Ajian, what else is said?" The villagers didn't know much about literacy. In this sea of ​​scarce supplies, books are the least precious and most precious things.

“Mr. Arkham has built a training camp, and all over the age of six and under the age of eighteen can sign up for five months and two sessions a year.”

"Train camp?" the villagers were puzzled.

"It's just a place like teaching kendo, cooking, forging, etc." Ajian explained.

"It's going to cost money?"

"Yes, how much?"

The villagers talk all the same. You should know that it is not easy to learn a craft these days. First of all, you have to find a suitable master and become an apprentice. This apprentice is not something you want. It depends on the mood of the master or a considerable amount of money. During the apprenticeship, you have no income except food and accommodation. As for whether you can get the true teaching, it is another matter.

In short, knowledge is a valuable asset. If you learn a craft, you will have a glamorous job, such as a sheriff, a doctor... with a high social status and stable income, which is much better than a farmer who pays attention to the weather and eats.
