Chapter 853: Chapter 268: Literacy Campaign (10,000 Words) (Part 4)
A large number of workers with ordinary skills are needed to expand production.
The developnt of a territory or a country cannot rely solely on one person climbing the ladder of technology; it is destined not to go far!
This is why.
Lynn is willing to offer one hundred military rits, naly an acre of uncultivated wasteland, as the reason for establishnt.
However.
Lynn also understands.
It may take a few months or a year to teach the townsn literacy and writing.
But to significantly raise the cultural knowledge level of the townsn,
this is not easy.
It can even be described as extrely difficult.
It often takes years, decades, or several generations to achieve this.
Because the educational teaching force is extrely limited.
The limited teaching resources available are even more controlled by the Noble Lords.
Coupled with the mindset and constraints of ’ordinary people are simply not worthy of education.’
Ordinary people are even unaware of their opportunity to receive education.
Most critically,
the content of education is all focused on religious and classical cultural knowledge.
Completely disconnected from the agricultural production, handicraft skills, and other life needs required by ordinary people,
making it impossible to apply to real life, let alone improve their living conditions!
Feeling the gaze of the townsn, he bowed and saluted.
Lynn nodded slightly to show his indication.
Just as he was about to leave Lord’s Square and head to the breeding farm to continue gaining experience,
a familiar woman’s voice shouted from behind.
"Master Lynn."
Lynn turned his body and followed the source of the voice to look over.
He saw Erin, wearing a long robe, quickly approaching.
Perhaps because she was a bit anxious, she didn’t notice the vigorous movent at her front caused by running.
When she was five or six ters from Lynn, Erin finally stopped running, taking a few long breaths.
This was to adjust her breathing and tone.
Lynn said, "No rush."
Erin’s face was full of gratitude.
After a dozen seconds of panting, Erin’s breath finally steadied.
She bowed slightly to Lynn and said respectfully, "Sorry, Lord, it was Erin who was rude."
Lynn responded, "The Territory Court building, wasn’t it decided?"
"I had you and Clive coordinate for planning and designing."
"Once the Red Brick House residential area is expanded, it can begin."
Erin, upon hearing this, hurriedly shook her head and explained.
"Master, you misunderstood, it’s not about the Territory Court."
"I saw the public notice on the bulletin board..."
"So, from today, all seven of us scholars are to start teaching the townsn?"
Lynn nodded, "Yes."
Erin hesitated and said, "Master, as for , it’s fine since the Territory Court hasn’t begun construction or been put to use."
"But for soone like Tate, who needs to teach children in school by day and then go on literacy campaigns for townsn at night."
"Isn’t that too..."
Lynn picked up on Erin’s words, "Too tiring?"
Erin hesitated in her expression but eventually nodded.
Lynn was not surprised, but instead looked directly at Erin.
"Scholar Erin, do you think the townsn’s daily work is more tiring, or the scholars’ daily teaching is more tiring?"
Erin furrowed her brows and began to think.
She looked at Lynn’s gaze, tentatively asking, "The townsn are more tired?"
"After all... scholars teach in a classroom environnt."
"While townsn engage in physical labor, also enduring the elents daily."
Lynn said, "Not entirely correct!"
Erin opened her eyes wide in confusion.
As a scholar, she believed there was nothing wrong with what she said.
Lynn kept speaking, "You only compared by assuming the roles of scholars and townsn."
"Thus, it’s either the scholar or the townsman."
"But in my view, they are equally tired!"
Hearing Lynn’s final words, Erin’s body stiffened.
Lynn’s speech didn’t pause.
"As the Lord, it doesn’t matter whether the daily work of scholars and townsn is intellectual or physical; it’s treated equally!"
"What the Lord wants is only productivity and production efficiency!"
"Scholars are labor force, and townsn are also labor force, but their modes of work differ."
"Therefore, the Lord will only make the labor force work more within their endurance limit."
"Whether or not the extra labor is compensated doesn’t matter."
"With the Lord providing food and housing, and having a powerful ard force, they have no opportunity to resist."
"The Lord can choose to press them into executing tasks."
"Or he can choose to use rewards, encouraging them to execute tasks voluntarily."
Lynn stared directly at Erin, saying, "And I chose the latter."
Erin fell silent.
As Lynn said, she had just stepped into the scholars’ and townsn’s roles.
Yet she had not considered.
In the eyes of the Lord, these things were not important.
The developnt of the territory is the priority!
Suddenly, Erin seed to think of sothing.
As the Lord, Master Lynn need not have explained so much to her!
But Master Lynn stopped and explained to her.
Master Lynn... was teaching her to break out of fixed thinking?
Seeing Erin silent, Lynn asked, "Scholar Erin, do you have any questions now?"
Upon hearing Lynn’s inquiry, Erin snapped back instantly.
She quickly responded, "No, Master Lynn."
