Pirates are born to be king

After removing many shares, especially the more than 2300 industrial-related slaves, there were not many left. Jace continued to report,

"Your Majesty, in addition to this, there are 500 professional construction slaves. Whether they are building bridges, building houses, paving roads, or cutting mountains, they can adapt quickly. Even senior slaves who specialize in surveying, mapping, and designing structures have nearly 30 people, including the professionals in mountain structure that you specially ordered, also found one with the help of Andel Simon. Mobile terminal m..."

"Found it! Very good!" Valpo nodded at the table, a little anxiously, "Let the man rest for a few days and bring him to see me after a while."

Looking back on the past, Valpo was foolish and bold when he wanted to empty a mountain to benefit the people of the Drum Kingdom.

This plan is a good one, and so far it has gone smoothly. Even though he has been away from the Drum Kingdom for half a year, he has only just exhausted the rock bricks and rock powder produced by Tuntun Factory. Relying on the good quality of materials obtained from these places, Building materials, Cromarimon has replaced rock houses for almost 2 citizens, making the Warm Winter Plan popular in the Drum Kingdom.

Now in the country, the rock house was no longer disliked by everyone when he first left. Instead, after it has gained substantial reputation and benefits, it has become a good residence that everyone envies. The citizens of the Drum Kingdom are proud of being able to live in this warm and solid house. Black house pride.

The reason why His Majesty the King was so popular at the dock was actually mostly due to the actual results of the Warm Winter Plan.

The citizens of the Drum Kingdom are very forgetful, and they have gradually forgotten all the wrongdoings in Valpo's past.

At the same time, they were very grateful. When they lay on the warm fire bed every day, they could not help but think of the king who gave them all this.

But as the warm winter plan gradually proceeds.

Another concomitant impediment to good governance,

It was his original plan to use the empty mountain peaks as a large-scale multi-functional venue.

The peaks of Cigu Island are towering, which is both wealth and threat.

Now that the entire lower part of the mountain has been eaten empty by Valpo, it has become increasingly difficult for His Majesty the King to swallow. He is deeply afraid of accidentally eating the entire mountain...

It's like a joke on the earth in the past said - even a mountain will be eaten down by you.

But it has become a worrying fact in the world of One Piece.

If a mountain as high as 5000 meters capsizes on Cigu Island, it will definitely be a catastrophe. The shock caused by it will even trigger avalanches and tsunamis!

This is not what Valpo is most worried about. What worries him most is the earthquake.

It is conceivable that if an earthquake is accidentally triggered, unknown changes will occur in the earth's crust...

Then, the entire drum island,

I don’t know if it will still exist!

This is not a random thought, just because the world here is different.

Because this is the world of One Piece,

There is Upside Down Mountain here,

There is Cloud Continent here,

There are so many weird things here!

There are too many common senses he used on Earth that are not applicable here.

When Valpo accidentally came up with the idea of ​​"eating a mountain" on his way to the World Conference,

He was frightened by his own thoughts...

And I couldn't stop feeling scared. It can only be said that those who don't know are fearless, and God has favored this country where it is always windy and snowy.

Everything that Wa'er was worried about has not happened yet.

But even so, he had already decided that he would never engage in such dangerous 'good governance' again until he could not guarantee that there would be no problems with the mountain.

Now that he has professional talents, he is a little relieved and just waits to see if there is a perfect method.

"Then, let's finish the rest." He said so many words, but it was only a momentary thought in Valpo's mind. He ordered Jace to continue. At this moment, he realized that he still had a lot to say about those 500 high-level slaves. Don't understand.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jess continued, "As for the remaining slaves, they are relatively scattered. There are 200 slaves in fishing, weaving, fine carving, animal husbandry, etc. who can help the king's internal affairs. In addition, There are also various junior teachers who are classified as developing future potential. From general language, basic arithmetic, physics applications, common sense of life, and even junior courses from all walks of life, you can find suitable teaching in these 300 slaves. teacher."

"Teacher...?" Valpo said thoughtfully, "This is something I didn't consider."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for making my own decisions." Jess bowed, "Of course, they can also engage in some work related to the subjects they teach, but I feel that although this can increase the temporary national strength, it will not be good for the long-term development of our kingdom. Say, it doesn’t do much good.”

"No, you did a good job." Only then did Valpo realize that he had been neglecting the issue of national education in the Kingdom of the Drum. It was not his fault for being careless. He really did not expect that as a country with extremely advanced medical technology, he would There are shortcomings in education.

After all, countries with developed earth medicine are not too bad in other aspects.

But the world of One Piece is obviously not for reasoning. His Majesty the King searched the memory of his brain and discovered that this drum kingdom only has one huge national medical school, and it only teaches subjects related to medical technology. Even the top universities Submarine technology was derived from navigation skills after being discovered by the previous king because the technology tree of precision medical equipment affiliated with the medical profession was crooked.

Submarines and sophisticated medical equipment…

God knows how these two completely unrelated things developed, but this also illustrates the power of the Drum Kingdom in medical technology.

With this incredible example, Valpo knew very well from his experience before time travel that when some inconspicuous technologies are transformed into another form, they can exert eye-popping energy, just like boiling water can turn into a steam engine. Originally used as gunpowder for fireworks, it can develop into a murderous weapon.

From this point of view, the scientific and technological potential of the Drum Kingdom does not seem to be as 'scientific' as I imagined. They just lack the eyes to discover it.

It's just that these cannot be driven by individuals after all, and His Majesty the King has already made future plans for the submarine, and does not want to interfere too much with the development of other aspects. After all, although he has obtained 5000 slaves, in general, it still cannot change the population constrained by the population of the Drum Kingdom. situation.

When limited to population, the personal quality of citizens becomes increasingly important.

"Jace, please make a budget. I will fully support you." Valpo nodded on the table, feeling that this expenditure should be spent whether it is for now or for the future.

The basic education provided by the staff officer can be said to be extremely slow to show results. It may even take 10, 20, or even more years to show results.

The amount of money spent before this must have been staggering, and the manpower expended was also huge.

Just thinking about the schools and supporting facilities that the Drum Kingdom will build for this purpose is a dizzying number.

It takes ten years for trees to take hundreds of years to cultivate people. It can be said that every word is true without any hardship.

But what should be done must still be done. Treating education as an 'investment' is what any far-sighted king should do.

As for timing, it's never too late.

There is a saying that Valbo liked very much when he was on Earth, and it just applies.

'The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago,

Secondly, it’s now. '
