...
After waking up from the Dream World, Roland was wide awake. He jumped out of bed excitedly, put on his coat, and went to his office. He took out a few pieces of white paper and began to write down some missing knowledge in the periodic table of elements and elementary chemistry.
After entering the Dream World twice, he had figured out some general rules. First of all, the time in the Dream World was not the same as the time in reality. This was easy to understand. Usually, when he dozed off, he would dream of a long series of content. Perhaps when the senses of sight, hearing, touch, and other senses were provided internally, the brain could reach a very high reaction speed.
For example, he had been active in the Dream World for about eight hours until three in the afternoon. Before Zero came back, he used a ladder to fall from his bedroom. It was still late at night, and the moon was hanging high above his head. It would probably be another four to six hours before the sunrise.
Second was the activity of his brain. Perhaps because the Dream World was too realistic, Roland found that his actions in the Dream World did not mean that he was asleep. This was a very tricky problem. He had to deal with government affairs during the day and earn money at night. How could he be busy for 24 hours a day? He suddenly felt that he was about to become the model worker of Neverwinter... and the most diligent one.
However, Roland had not tried to sleep in the Dream World. If he could take advantage of the time difference and rest in the Dream World, it would undoubtedly greatly improve his work efficiency.
Third was the Dream World itself.
It was completely different from the usual dreams — clear, stable, and had its own set of rules. Without a doubt, this was partly caused by Zero. She had made the Dream World into a new world, and Roland only knew a little about it.
Did it have a boundary? What fragments did it integrate? How much buried or even forgotten information could he find in it?
After waiting for dawn, Roland had breakfast and summoned all the department heads of City hall to the castle's reception hall.
In addition to understanding the changes and progress of the city over the past month, he had another important purpose, which was to formulate the strategic goals for the next stage.
At present, the threat of the church had been removed. The next most important thing was undoubtedly to prepare for the upcoming Battle of Divine Will.
Roland set his sights on the other kingdoms.
"Uh... You mean, not only do we have to recruit people from the territories of Graycastle, but we also have to rob people from the Kingdom of Everwinter and the Kingdom of Wolfheart?" Barov wiped his forehead. "Your Majesty, this is a big project."
"The news of the church's heavy losses will definitely spread throughout the continent. It's unknown how much control the Holy City of Hermes can maintain over the Kingdom of Everwinter and the Kingdom of Wolfheart. As for those nobles who joined the Church, when the situation changes, it wouldn't be surprising for them to bite back. " Roland said in a low voice, "This is a good opportunity for us. Whether we use the Golden Dragon to tempt them or force them to come to Graycastle, everything will be fine."
In this era where nationalism had yet to be awakened, there were almost no repercussions for forcefully recruiting people. As long as they could get their whole family involved, most people did not mind who they were working for.
"In the spring of next year, the seaport of Neverwinter will be opened. What you need to do is to formulate a recruitment plan, rent ships from the sea merchants of the Fjords, and properly settle the people." Roland continued, "I know the implementation of these policies will cost a lot of Golden Dragon, but no matter what, City Hall has to grit its teeth and complete it. Everyone here knows that the church is not the kingdom's ultimate enemy."
This rapid population expansion plan seemed complicated and huge, but many of the details had already been "rehearsed" by City Hall.
For example, for City Hall, who had sent emissary delegations to the Southern Territory and the Eastern Region many times to recruit people, it was not a difficult task.
As for the settlement part, City Hall had a complete set of regulations and rich experience.
Today, City Hall of Neverwinter had become a reliable and mature administrative organization.
The only part that he had not practiced was the shipping part. He planned to contact Thunder and Margaery's Chamber of Commerce to help him complete it.
"By the way, to lighten your burden, I'll officially hire Miss Edith Kant to join City Hall as your adjutant." Roland paused. "Whether it's in the battle of Coldwind Ridge or in her performance in the Adviser Department, her ability is impeccable. I believe that with her help, you'll be much more relaxed."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty," Barov said hurriedly. "But I can also do this alone …"
"I've already decided," Roland interrupted the director. "Just do as I say."
Then he looked at Scroll and said, "Education is also the focus of the next stage. How's the training of intermediate teachers going?"
"So far, only Filin has passed the intermediate examination." Scroll shook her head. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this method won't work."
"I see." Roland was not surprised by the failure of the Ministry of Education. In the beginning, the junior teachers were all from the Knight class, and the content taught was limited to general reading and writing. Under the guidance of the unified teaching plan and Scroll, they successfully completed the task.
However, when the Ministry of Education continued to strengthen the teacher resources and wanted to train the Knight to become an intermediate teacher, the problem arose. The only reason these nobles could read was that they had access to these things, but it did not mean that they were good at learning.
The intermediate examination involved three major subjects, mathematics, physics, and chemistry, which could not be easily understood.
"Since it won't work, the new intermediate teachers will be selected from the students," Roland decided. "In order to ensure that the students can continue to study, include the scholarship system in the new year's financial plan."
"Scholarship … scholarship?" Scroll was stunned. "Do you mean the reward system that was promoted in Longsong Stronghold?"
"It's completely different. At that time, the reward system was to attract more people to participate in the study, while the scholarship was only for the top students." Roland explained, "The purpose of the scholarship system is to allow outstanding talents to receive a salary comparable to that of ordinary workers during the study period, so that they will be willing to continue to study in the school."
The reason was very simple. After passing the universal education examination and obtaining a graduation certificate, most people would not consider further study, but find a job as soon as possible to support their families. Therefore, it was necessary for Roland to establish a special subsidy — that is, a scholarship, so that those who were good at learning could receive better training.
"At the beginning, you can set the reward line a little higher, so that about 20 or 30 students will be selected. With you and Filin teaching them, their learning speed should be much faster than that of the Knight. After that, those who pass the intermediate examination will be hired as intermediate teachers, with a starting salary of 50 silver royals per month. Those who fail will not lose anything and can still apply for other jobs. "
