From pioneer lord to king

"Hey, young man, what do you do?" An old man under the tree found Willer walking over, and he asked while fanning the wind with a straw hat.

Weiler subconsciously glanced at the sleeve on his arm, and then suddenly woke up. These people were illiterate, and quickly responded: "Hello, old man, my name is Weiler, and I'm from the propaganda team."

"Propaganda team?" Several people under the big tree looked at each other, feeling a little puzzled.

The old man who just started to speak smacked his dry lips and said, "Since when did the territory have a propaganda team? Young people, what are you promoting?"

"Isn't there going to be a tax increase?" A strong man said worriedly.

"What nonsense are you talking about, when did the lord raise the tax?" Someone immediately retorted.

"I think it's time for conscription again. After all, it's not peaceful every year."

……

Everyone was arguing, and all kinds of outrageous speculations came out of their mouths. After being disturbed by them, the young Weller suddenly didn't know how to intervene.

It was the old man just now who saw his embarrassment, patted his knee with his big hand full of cracks and said, "Okay, can you get results if you are so blushing and thick-necked? Listen to this Mr. Wheeler!"

The old man seemed to have a high reputation among the crowd. As soon as he made a sound, the people who had been arguing with each other immediately died down, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Willer.

Weller glanced at the old man gratefully, took out a small book from his small satchel in a little panic, and said to everyone:
"Uncles, it's not about raising taxes or conscription. This time is a great thing."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd suddenly showed signs of commotion again. The old man rolled his eyes, and everyone calmed down immediately, but the curiosity in his eyes couldn't be concealed no matter what.

A smile appeared on the old man's dark face, he beckoned to Willer and said, "Young man, come, sit here and talk."

Wei Le sat down not far from the old man, looked at the group of peasants in front of him and said, "Old man, what do you think of the current taxation?"

The old man said with a smile: "Of course that's great. Ever since the lord came to this land, the lord has been lightly paid, and the previous poll tax has long since ceased to be paid. Our families dare to I have a baby.

The land tax has also been reduced from [-]% to [-]% now, and every household can not only have enough food, but also have a lot of surplus food.There is no fire consumption for food delivery, unlike when Master Yaqi was there before, each household had to pay tens of pounds of fire consumption for food delivery.

I have lived for more than 50 years, and I have never seen such a generous and benevolent nobleman as the lord. Many times it is like a dream when I think about it. "

The old Chinese was full of emotion, and the faces of the people around him showed approval. Life is much better now than before. In the past, all kinds of exorbitant taxes weighed down their backs.

Seeing how much the leader loves Ryan, Weller couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "Old Man, what I'm going to talk about today is related to tax cuts."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd immediately exploded, and a man said with a face full of disbelief: "The lord wants to reduce taxes?"

"Impossible. It's the first time I've seen the [-]% tax in my life. How could it be reduced?"

"Yeah, I don't think it's possible either."

……

"Quiet, quiet!" The old man loudly stopped everyone's discussion, looked at Wei Le with a little excitement, and said, "My lord, do you really want to reduce taxes?"

Weller said affirmatively: "Of course, but this time the method is a little different."

"What do you mean?" Everyone quickly gathered together.

"Don't worry, everyone, listen to me read it to you carefully." After reassuring everyone, Weiler opened the notebook in his hand and said:
"The lord ordered that after the end of the spring plowing, the 'Education for All' plan will be carried out so that everyone in the territory can receive education for free.

At present, the Ministry of Education under the Government Affairs Department has built [-] primary schools in two cities and twelve towns in the territory. After the school starts, every citizen can enroll for free with their ID card. "

A group of peasants looked at each other in blank dismay. The word knowledge was too far away for them, and they couldn't understand it at all after they planed in the ground all day long.

"Wait, you mean everyone has to go to school? What about the crops, they're dying?"

"That's right, reading and writing is what the aristocrats do. Why do we old men learn those things?"

Seeing that everyone's understanding was a bit off, Weiler quickly stood up and said loudly: "Everyone listen to me, everyone listen to me.

Learning is not about making everyone put down their work. Primary school is for children, and what you are going to attend is night school, which will not delay your crops.

Moreover, this time it is entirely voluntary, as long as you want to go, you can go and leave at any time, there is absolutely no mandatory meaning, and it is free!

but!Ladies and gentlemen, studying is of real benefit to you.The lord ordered that every household, if they are all illiterate, over the age of 12 and under the age of 40, they will still pay the [-]% tax.

If all of them are out of illiteracy, they will pay [-]% of the tax in the future. If only half of them are out of illiteracy, they will pay [-]% of the tax. This is a real benefit, everyone. "

The big words [-]% tax hit everyone's hearts like a sledgehammer, making their heads buzz.

You must know that they used to pay [-]% of the grain, and [-]% was cut in half. They have lived under the rule of the aristocracy for so many years, and [-]% is unheard of, let alone [-]%.

It can be said that looking at the entire Tistan Kingdom, there is absolutely no way to find out where the [-]% tax is. If you say it, you will be taken as a fool.

"You, you, you, are you telling the truth?" The old man was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.

Weller nodded affirmatively and said: "Of course, the bulletin boards in the town have been pasted up now, and you can see them when you go back."

Everyone exploded with a "boom", and everyone's eyes turned green. Now who doesn't know, as long as the kana collar is pasted on the notice board, it will be realized.

Now as long as it is posted on the bulletin board, to them, that is more true than anything else.

This group of peasants was like hungry wolves seeing meat. With a "crash", Weiler was completely blocked inside and out, and began to ask various questions in a hurry.

They seemed to have changed from a pack of hungry wolves to bees again, and the questions they asked were so loud that his head was getting dizzy, and he didn't know which one to answer for a while.

It was the old man who saw the opportunity quickly, and shouted angrily: "Everyone be quiet, ask one by one!"

The old man used to be a soldier and had high prestige. When he spoke, everyone fell silent and looked at Willer eagerly.

"What do you want to ask, you ask first." The old man pointed to a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face.

The man hurriedly squeezed in front of Weller, held back for a long time, then scratched his head, and asked embarrassingly, "That, what is illiterate?"

The old man immediately rolled his eyes, kicked his ass, and cursed: "You are illiterate, you are illiterate."

After all, he has seen the world and knows a few big characters. Although he has never heard of the word illiterate, he can guess it from the literal meaning.

The illiterate, including their group, is illiterate.

He looked around at the group of bewildered peasants, but he still didn't understand. He put his hand on his forehead and sighed.

Weller naturally remembered his mission and mission, although this question was very...

Obviously, no farmer could resist the temptation of the [-]% tax. They asked dozens of questions, and Wheeler answered them one by one with all his heart.

At first he was a little flustered, but gradually he became more emboldened and confident, became more and more calm, and quickly completed the publicity work.

Then he joined the captain and rushed to the next place without stopping.Weller, who already has experience, is becoming more and more familiar with his work.

But the work is not all smooth sailing, and there will always be various situations. Fortunately, although he is young, his brain turns quickly, and he can always solve some emergencies in a timely and reasonable manner.

The publicity work has been carried out for more than half a month, and more than 100 people have visited almost all the places where there are people. Because the interests are large enough, most people are relatively supportive.

Although they don't think they can use what they have learned, the temptation of tax cuts is enough to make them bite the bullet, even if they memorize it by rote.

The plans are going according to Ryan's expectations, and it will be late April in a blink of an eye, and May will be the official start of school.

In order to ensure that there are no accidents, Ryan and Minister of Education Wei Dewen personally started the final inspection and control. During the work of the propaganda team, they have already inspected various primary schools and education points.

The faculty has already been in place, and Ryan spent a lot of money to recruit a group of "intellectuals", and was trained by Wei Dewen himself for a period of time.

Ryan does not need them to teach so much profound knowledge, the elementary school level only needs simple Chinese, mathematics, history, ideological education and so on.

For the students in the night school, they only teach Chinese and simple mathematics. The teaching content is quite simple.

Ryan does not need them to teach more profound knowledge. At present, there is only one middle school in Kanaling, which is built in Doman City. Wei Dewen is the principal himself, and the teachers are the same as the original school.

Schools and teachers are all in place, and the next step is teaching materials.

Last year, Hevian started to build a printing factory, and it was completed at the beginning of the year. Movable type printing was invented by Ryan a long time ago, and it has never been useful before. Now we have to see it show its power.

Just now, the person in charge of the printing factory sent a message that the teaching materials for teaching had been printed. No, Ryan rushed over with Wei Dewen non-stop.

The textbooks that have already been cut and bound are neatly piled up in the warehouse, and there are tens of thousands of them by visual inspection. These are for elementary school students, and night schools do not have this kind of treatment.

Ryan picked up a book casually. Although the workmanship was a bit rough, it was already extremely rare in this era. With the slightly yellowed paper and the lingering fragrance of ink, he suddenly seemed to be sitting in the classroom of his previous life again.

It's just that the faces in memory have long since become blurred.

"You are really omnipotent. This barren and hopeless land has given birth to new vitality in your hands." Wei Dewen touched these brand-new books and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He was one of the first group of people to follow Ryan, and after a few years, he saw everything in his eyes.

In the past few years, Ryan's various plans have been one after another. If it were an ordinary person, he would have killed himself by doing so, but Ryan has always been able to push these plans smoothly.

Not only did he not kill himself, but he gave the territory a new life.

Ryan shook his head when he heard the words: "You've said too much, but I haven't done enough, let alone good enough."

My family knows my own affairs. He is actually a very mediocre person, but he was lucky enough to live two lives. Most of what he did was copying the experience of his predecessors, just imitating cats and cats.

It was originally a truth from the heart, but when it fell into Wei Dewen's ears, it was more like a kind of self-effacing, which made him even more admired.

"You invented this...well, the multiplication table, which is really convenient and fast. It looks very simple, but no one has ever thought of it before."

Wei Dewen opened a mathematics book, pointed to a multiplication table and admired it, thinking that it was a very great invention.

Speaking of this multiplication table, Ryan did not think of it, because in his opinion, it is a common sense thing. In the previous life of China, there was already a multiplication table during the time of Qin Shihuang. Who would have thought that this world would not have it? Discover.

It wasn't until one day that Fetrol asked him why the calculation speed was so fast that he didn't know that there was no such thing in this world, so he had to act as a porter again and invented the nine-nine multiplication table.

"There is nothing wrong with this batch of textbooks. The next step is to start distributing them to various schools. I hope that under the temptation of interests, this plan can also be implemented smoothly."

Ryan checked it roughly and found no obvious problems, so he couldn't help but feel relieved. He didn't want to make a joke because the battle was so big this time.

After returning to the castle, Ryan, who was planning to go back to the office to handle government affairs, saw Amy lying on the railing of the corridor on the second floor in a daze.

A trace of guilt flashed in Ryan's heart. He was too busy to ignore him during this time.The little guy left his relatives and came to a completely unfamiliar environment alone. I should pay more attention to him.

Thinking of this, he turned and walked towards Amy. The little guy didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't notice that there were more people around him.

"What are you thinking?" Ryan leaned on the railing and looked at Amy, asking softly.

Amy woke up suddenly, glanced at Ryan and said, "Uncle, I didn't think about anything, I just don't know what I can do."

"What you can do depends on what you want to do. As long as I can satisfy you, I will support you." Ryan rubbed his soft hair and said.

After hesitating for a moment, Amy plucked up her courage and said, "I want to join the army in the future."
