The education system is not meant to copy the model of the future world, but needs to be adapted to local conditions, after all, each era has its own educational characteristics that are appropriate to each era.

So all the members of the cabinet were called.

After hearing about the education model, everyone shared their educational experiences.

Downing probably summed up that there were no large-scale schools in this era, only those nobles would have small schools and private education, and ordinary people could only take the way of teaching at home, if there were no intellectuals in the family, then it meant that his children would also be illiterate, and could only engage in some agricultural production or animal husbandry, as well as apprenticeships, etc.

So the experience here doesn't have any reference value, so you can only plan it completely by yourself.

"I'm going to run a school. ”

Tang Ning faced everyone and only then did he say his thoughts.

School......

Everyone looked at each other.

Downing didn't expect these people to understand, and took the approach of issuing decrees directly.

"Romero, set aside a piece of land and then set aside some of the funds to build the school. ”

Romero immediately took the order.

Downing then looked at Fran.

"Fran, according to the hukou, children under the age of fifteen, regardless of gender, are forced to enter the school, and all education is free of charge and there is no charge for any tuition. ”

Fran thought he had misheard and asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that admission is free?"

Downing nodded affirmatively.

With the strength of the current federal empire's treasury, it can fully meet the education expenses of only 2,000 children, not to mention that only about half of the 2,000 children are of school age.

Fran pursed his lips, but finally did not speak, and was ordered to stand aside.

Then there was Master Merlin as Minister of Health and Minister of Agriculture.

"Tell families who don't want to send their children to school that their annual tax payments can be reduced by 10% when their children go to school. ”

Hearing this, Master Merlin was stunned and spoke after a moment.

"Your Majesty, everyone should be very willing to send their children to school, free education is already a very good benefit, so there is no need for us to give them any preferential policies. ”

Tang Ning smiled confidently.

"Just do what I say, you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

Master Merlin had no choice but to take the order.

Finally, this aspect also involves the defense department, and Thorin is rushing to produce new combat heavy armor, and there is no time, so it can only be Holman, and Grant is also present.

"Grant, Holman, those who are recruited into the guard and marshals in the future must be literate, so young people who have not been trained in school are forbidden to enter the guard. ”

The two men did not disagree with this, some of the policies of the young king that they could not understand before, but then they were outstanding, so now they had complete trust.

Downing had his own reasons for doing so.

First, many of the current members of the guard are not highly educated and cannot understand some complex tactical requirements, so in the future, they must absorb young people who have a certain knowledge base.

Second, many people now want to enter the guard or bailiff team, and people in this era have limited thinking and prefer to let children create value rather than go to school to learn and waste time.

In this way, parents who want to send their children to the guard or bailiff can agree to the school.

Killing two birds with one stone, very good.

Finally, there is Barron Vincent's parliament.

"Vincent, whoever later enters parliament must also be educated. ”

Barron Vincent took the order.

Then the crowd immediately began to do what was ordered.

When the school's enrollment location was not mentioned, many people were quite repulsed, but after the announcement of a series of preferential policies, the enthusiasm of those parents was immediately increased.

Master Merlin was embarrassed, but the young king was like a god.

The work of building the school lasted about half a month, and the luxury of the school was almost equivalent to that of the imperial palace, because most of the materials used to build the school were removed from the old imperial palace on the ground.

The education cause is progressing in an orderly manner, and Tang Ning doesn't have to worry too much.

But new problems have reappeared.

The problem comes from Birmingham.

Birmingham's spy corps was sent out as soon as it was formed, and as these men were dispatched, the population of the Confederate Empire grew at an accelerated rate, absorbing about 500 men almost daily.

As a result, land in the Dark Market is becoming increasingly scarce, and with the school using a large portion of the land, the plan to accommodate the new population is now almost out of order.

Fran, who had just freed his hands from education, was crying.

"Your Majesty, many of the new arrivals are now unable to arrange at all, because the conditions promised by Birmingham have not been fulfilled, and some people have begun to make trouble, and if this continues, something may happen. ”

After a pause, he made a request.

"If possible, can Grant's bailiffs be dispatched to suppress it? ”

Judicial police were dispatched to crack down......

Tang Ning smiled helplessly, now that the Federal Empire is still in the development stage, if the bailiffs are sent to suppress it, when the matter here spreads out and spreads to the rest of the shelters, those people in the shelters will definitely doubt the truth of what Birmingham and others said, and it will be a serious challenge for them to pull people to work.

And now it is true that the Federal Empire is unable to fulfill its original promises, which has led to such a thing, and military suppression is the next policy.

It seems that a second territory of the Federal Empire must be opened.

Downing sent Fran away and summoned Birmingham back at once.

Birmingham returned three days later.

"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?"

Tangning was silent for a long time before getting up.

"I'm going to open up new federal empire territory, and of these recent places of refuge, which ones do you think are more suitable. ”

Birmingham was a wise man, and immediately heard the young man's intentions, and responded after a little contemplation.

"The town of Ironwood is the closest, their ruling class is weak, the armed force is about 70 people, the ruler is the owner of supernatural powers, and previously the owner of the gold sapphire badge, the ruler there has caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and the popular base is relatively weak. ”

Downing nodded.

"No problem, you go to Ironwood, we will attack in three days, and then you need to create conditions for us. ”

Birmingham didn't expect it to be so soon......

"Alright, you go at once, and by the way, call Grant and Holman in. ”

Moments later, Holman and Grant enter the palace.

The two of them looked at each other, both wondering what the young king's new policy was.

Tang Ning looked at the two of them with a serious expression.

"In three days' time we're going to have our first active war, which demands defeating the current ruler of Ironwood and bringing the sanctuary there into the territory of the Federal Empire. ”
