To feed an army and thousands of human civilians, it is not possible to do it by boasting, but to create an active market and ensure that the supply channels of foreign goods are unimpeded, and everything else can be sidelined compared to this primary goal. So, Luo Zhengdao said without thinking:

"Of course, I agree to this deal, but you should know that high-quality filament and demonic cloth must be supplied to the Yaling Empire first, and when there is a difference between the orders they place and the output, I can only sell the demonic cloth to other customers."

The smuggler, of unknown origin, seemed to have expected this reply, and said:

"Then there won't be a problem with the arms deal, right?"

"No problem, if you feel the need, you can inspect the goods immediately."

"As you wish, happy cooperation!"

The series of problems that have plagued Luo Zhengdao recently are not only the lack of natural resources, but also the reckless actions of his subordinates some time ago to remind him that his rule is not firmly rooted. Although he never intended to build a big empire and lay down a big territory, this kind of grand life goal in the style of middle two diseases has no practical meaning for the traverser who may be destroyed by the curse of the Aragami at any time. However, the threat of goblins is real, and Wake Reef has to continue to develop in order to withstand the increasing pressure to survive, and it is not difficult for Luo Zhengdao to maintain the status quo by relying on internal checks and balances, but it can only be an illusion to go further and deal with the goblins of the Dominating Continent.

Why did his subordinates dare to rebel? The reason is nothing more than knowing that Luo Zhengdao can't do without their assistance, so these guys dare to express their dissatisfaction so blatantly.

In order to avoid similar unpleasant incidents, Luo Zhengdao had to be prepared for another hand, at least to be able to curb the tendency of his subordinates to do their own thing. The method is also very simple, that is, to cultivate more talent, and only when there are more available people than there are actual jobs, the pressure on these guys to strike and rebel will be reduced due to the fierce competition for jobs

“…… According to the decree of His Royal Highness the Regent, every child who has attained the age of ten years of age must undergo three years of compulsory education within his jurisdiction, and those who have attained the age of fifteen must receive six months of literacy education, and the military academy shall expand its enrolment ......"

The clerk with a slender white feather on a maroon wide-brimmed hat read aloud the executive order signed by Luo Zhengdao from the pulpit, and the people who heard these latest decrees looked confused, for them, these unheard of decrees were too unfamiliar, since when did children have to be sent to education?

Needless to say, Luo Zhengdao is a standard grassroots born in the soil fat round, after crossing over, he did not develop a superior aristocratic lord consciousness, a certain Cheng dù above, he is not a decisive and resolute leader, his ambition or self-motivation is quite lacking, and his subjective initiative is also low. However, when Luo Zhengdao realized that he was threatened by his subordinates and had to make a compromise, this undoubtedly became an incident that he was deeply ashamed of. In the eyes of the traverser, it is too humiliating to admit one's own incompetence and scum, but the implementation of retaliation in the form of a policy that openly shows everyone, no one can say that there is anything wrong with it, and it can only be praised as a far-sighted conspiracy.

On the downtown streets of Wake Reef, when the clerk read the decree to the people, the meeting convened by Luo Zhengdao was also held as scheduled.

Sitting around the round conference table, knowing the whole thing, the old pirate family exchanged glances with each other, and it was obvious that they were in awe of the regent's plan to uproot the possibility of a rebellion, and that the passive methods of sabotage in the past would not work in the future.

Luo Zhengdao, who was sitting upright, glanced at the ugly faces of his subordinates like defeated dogs, and couldn't help but show a wicked smile that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, but he was a little happier. It is important to know that the plan has never kept up with the rapid changes, and with the implementation of compulsory education, many unexpected problems have begun to emerge.

Compulsory education for underage children is barely effective, and children of school age can eat a free lunch at school, and all tuition and miscellaneous fees are exempted, which is a good thing for parents, and there is little resistance to implementation, and the real difficulty lies in adult education.

During the day, he had to do a variety of work, and the literacy class could only be carried out in one to two hours from dusk to nightfall, but Luo Zhengdao also had to prepare a considerable amount of fire oil for lighting. He took such painstaking efforts, but others still refused to appreciate it, and it is not surprising that the adult literacy class is free of charge, and it is not surprising that he has received a cold reception. The New World is far from the point where it is difficult for a person to move an inch without basic literacy, and even if he does not even know a single letter, people can still live a very nourishing life. In a social environment, literacy is not a big deal, with a hammer and anvil drawn at the door of the blacksmith shop, and wine barrels and glasses in the tavern.

In a society where illiterate people are a hundred times more illiterate than non-illiterate, those who are literate are outliers, and the illiterate are not in a hurry to be educated, nor do they care what the regent is thinking. Therefore, the enrollment rate of the literacy class was so low that Luo Zhengdao was so angry that his face turned blue and white after just looking at the report, as if he had had a heart attack.

This thankless bad situation makes the traverser extremely angry, the so-called high-rise buildings rise from the ground, the implementation of basic education is one of the necessary prerequisites for opening higher education, in the literacy work has not been done well, training a top master can solve the problem? Industrialization is not the creation of artists, what society needs is not a masterpiece created by years of painstaking efforts, but steel and weapons that can be continuously manufactured from factories.

"These idiots, I'm really overestimating the value of the contents of their skulls."

Putting down the report, his eyes looking up at the ceiling, Luo Zhengdao rarely exploded. Panting and silent for a while, he straightened up again and said to the half-elf beauty sitting on the sofa opposite him:

"Vena, find a few bards, I need them to set the mood."

Public opinion is a commanding height, and whoever can seize it will have the right to speak and the right to define fairness and justice. Mr. Goebbels, the genius of Nazi propaganda, once said that a lie can become the truth if it is repeated a thousand times, and with the exception of some Hades practitioners who are nicknamed the scum of war, the media and public opinion have always been a pivotal social resource.

In ancient China in the old world, the military generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period were flying and domineering, fed up with the situation of the dynasty changing like a book of martial arts, and in the spirit of martial arts and culture, the Zhao and Song dynasties, which came to power by bullying orphans and widows, raised the status of scholars to an unprecedented height, and the emperor openly shouted at the scholars. The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty personally came out to advertise on the platform, encouraging all the smart people in the world to study the Four Books and the Five Classics in the first place, and to change their humble fate through the imperial examination.

The effect is obvious, this practice not only opens the door for low-level talents to advance, but also restricts the rebel seedlings who may cause instability within the system, at least prevent them from coming out and making trouble with the imperial court.

There is no doubt that in terms of social upward channels, the Tang Dynasty's Huangchao is a negative example, if it weren't for the Li Tang Dynasty to judge people by their appearance and denounce him, this general who was kicked out of the bureaucracy in the imperial examination may not have the lofty ambition of "full of golden armor", this may be the earliest flower revolution!

Vina Dubov glanced at Luo Zhengdao sympathetically, obviously putting a lot of effort into doing good things but not being understood, and the bad fate of the pioneers was probably related to this. She nodded and said that she knew about this task, and she didn't say anything superfluous, and it was estimated that Luo Zhengdao didn't need others to comfort her.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is planning to expand the number of cadets of the Military Academy, and in the future, he can be canonized as a nobleman for his meritorious deeds."

The news began to spread from the bards in the taverns, and soon even the street vendors knew that in the hierarchical new world, a person's bloodline and birth were the foundation of a qiē foundation, and the acquired struggle was insignificant. A beggar becomes a beggar gang leader, a prostitute becomes a courtesan, and this is the limit of what can be achieved by individual efforts.

In the old world of China, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Cao Pi, the son of the famous Peking Opera character Cao Baimian, compromised with the family in order to usurp the throne as soon as possible, and adopted Chen Qun's nine-grade Zhongzheng system. To put it bluntly, this set of people's destined bastard theory has only one sentence in spiritual connotation, the judge's son is a judge, and the thief's son is still a thief, and there is no doubt that the third brother who likes to drink the water of the Ganges River has the most right to speak.

Luo Zhengdao's initiative is tantamount to the New World hierarchy, an impregnable wall that has carved a door into the hope and future of all those who wish to cross the threshold of their origins, and such an unprecedented initiative will undoubtedly attract the resentment and anger of those with vested interests, and even resentment and curse.

In peacetime, the rulers who choose to break with the class group from which they come from are simply masters of playing with welding detonators and sawing light bulbs, and even those strongmen with extremely strong political skills can only guarantee that they can barely hold the field during their lifetime, and they will definitely be counterattacked after death. However, at present, the human race in the new world is in a period of war when the country is ruined, and the old aristocratic forces are almost wiped out by the goblins, Luo Zhengdao doesn't need to worry about what those dead ghosts chirp, even he doesn't know when he will die, can he care about how the nobles who are lucky enough not to die under the goblin butcher's knife will feel?

No matter how strict the sequelae of the reform were, and he was determined to buy horse bones, Luo Zhengdao sacrificed this killer trick with a ruthless heart.

Since the Chinese Dynasty in the old world can rely on the imperial examination system to maintain stability for more than a thousand years, there is no reason why it will be invalid in the new world.

Less than three months after the campaign began, the results were already apparent, if not surprisingly good. The news quickly spread to the many island colonies of the Sea of Stars, and the spirits of the low-class human beings who were not interested in participating in the restoration of the country by the nobles and lords, but only wanted to keep themselves away from the goblin butcher's knife, were uplifted. This is a great change that has not been seen in a thousand years, a through train to the ranks of the aristocracy, who has heard of such a good thing for thousands of years, a great opportunity to change the fate of themselves and their descendants, how rare!
