Warlord: King of All Clans

For the people of Hewan, the new word "school" is not so unfamiliar.

All the large knight villages in the river bend have established basic schools. In the primary school led by Knight Karl, there are as many as 200 students.

This is just a basic school with only one or two teachers in charge, while there is a more complete primary school in the swamp town above Carl County.

In Village No. 4, many children carry backpacks and go to school at Karling Primary School, which is more than ten miles away.

Every morning when they went to work, Helin could see them passing by the main road beside the plantation.

But Helin was just a migrant laborer at the lowest level. There were many people like her who had families with them. There were a large group of wild children in the plantation of Village No. 7, and none of them wanted to go to school.

Helin never thought about Edgar's schooling, she just hoped that he could grow up healthily.

Seeing Helin's confusion, the noble Rose Knight rarely explained, "This is the decree of the River Bay Madam."

The killing power of these words to the people of Hewan was no less than that of the ancestor's spirit appearing. He Lin knelt down directly and said, "I...I obey your order!"

Seeing her so frightened, the Rose Knight felt a little embarrassed and said, "The mistress asked about your son... um, Edgar's situation before the spring. After all, you are the only mother in the United Knights who adopted a werewolf cub."

"I just happened to be here, so I stopped by to take a look."

"Starting this year, the three-year compulsory education trial in Hewan has been expanded to the entire Isenbol territory. All children of school age must receive three years of basic education."

He Lin rubbed her hands nervously, her eyes full of panic and helplessness, "But, but, I don't have any money..."

Rose Knight smiled and said, "Don't worry, the mistress has thought it through. You don't need to pay for compulsory education, and as a subsidy, the school will provide a free lunch."

Helin's eyes lit up immediately. Apart from having enough food and clothing for themselves, the migrant workers had very low wages, and it was already difficult to raise a werewolf cub.

If one wants to get married, have children, and live the life of a formal citizen, one must work for at least three years, accumulate a certain amount of savings, obtain a formal Hewan household registration, and own one's own land.

Helen lived and ate on the plantation, and Edgar's food accounted for the bulk of her expenses. If the school could provide a lunch, she could save some money.

Moreover, Edgar was growing up, and she had no time to take care of him. In a year or two, he would become a wild child without discipline.

Instead of this, throwing it into school is undoubtedly the best option.

But it is not easy for children to go to school. There are many problems. Helin asked again: "But Edgar is so young, how can he go to school in Karl?"

Carl County is more than ten miles away from Village No. 4. Although there is a main road connecting it due to the existence of the plantation, Edgar's short legs may not be able to walk such a long distance.

And with Edgar's stupid brain, he might get lost halfway through the journey.

Rose Knight thought for a moment and said, "Then he can go to boarding school. I'll write a note to the principal and ask him to stay at the school. You can pick him up during the holidays."

With this guarantee, and the village chief constantly signaling her, He Lin had no choice but to agree.

After convincing Helin, the Rose Knight took out his little notebook, wrote it down, and said to the head of the No. 4 village nearby: "Let's go to the next house. There is a child named Tom in the No. 4 village. The mistress asked me to go and see how he is doing."

Village No. 4 was not very big, and the village chief immediately knew who the Rose Knight was talking about, and his face turned pale.

Although the higher-ups have repeatedly stressed the need to support the widows and orphans, not all grassroots managers agree with this view. Many people feel that good steel should be used where it is needed most, and funds should be focused on important matters.

Little Tom, an orphan from Village No. 4, lost his parents at an early age, and after his grandfather who took care of him also died, no one cared about his life or death.

When the Rose Knight saw the village chief's expression, he knew there was something wrong, but he just sneered and said nothing.

It is because the mistress anticipated such a situation that these Rose Knights and the mistress's guards are patrolling the entire territory.

After the atrium was restarted, El's mental coverage expanded to cover most areas of the river bay, and the swamp town was also within her monitoring range.

Every month, Al would provide a "high-risk list" which contained all the people in Riverbend Territory with the worst living conditions.

On the surface, the countryside of the river bend is still in the farming era and the lord's mansion has no control over it, but Olivia only needs to ask Al to know the actual situation.

Children in particular are the next generation of Hewan and need special attention.

Olivia's experience in raising children is a hundred times stronger than Helin's, but their concepts are similar.

No matter what race a child is, once he reaches the age where he can run and jump and there is no one to discipline him, his heart will become wild within two years.

Especially the Kobolds!

If no one disciplines them and they run around in the wild every day, they will quickly become wild dogs. After a long time, they will no longer meet the requirements to be kobold craftsmen, let alone kobold miners - the new generation of kobold miners do more than just swing pickaxes.

Those wild gnolls couldn't even understand the foreman's most basic instructions.

Therefore, after the three-year compulsory education was piloted in the River Bay Territory, Olivia planned to extend it to the entire Isenpol territory.

For the current Hewan Lordship, the funding for implementing compulsory education is not a problem; the problem lies in sufficient teaching staff and the initiative of parents.

Teaching staff can be recruited in large quantities from the school, but parents' mindsets cannot be changed in a short period of time.

Even after so much publicity, most peasant parents still think that studying is useless.

As a farmer's son, you just need to learn how to farm. Why should you read books?

Therefore, Olivia emphasized that only children under the age of ten should strive to complete basic education before the age of ten.

Because children over the age of ten have become half of the labor force and need to raise cattle and sheep for the family and do labor.

As for the dog-headed people, they are forced to go to school when they turn one year old to prevent them from causing trouble!

This decree has been piloted in Hewan Territory for three years, and many of the first batch of students have already gone to the Central Court for further studies.

Once the trial is successful in Isenbol, this decree will be extended to the entire Earldom of River Bay.

The jurisdiction of the city of Isenbor also includes Fort Buck and all areas to the east.

This includes the werewolf Shadow Claw Knight Territory, the Solovyv Knight Territory on the south side of the avenue, and the large kobold settlement on the north side.

Therefore, all school-age children of werewolves and kobolds will be locked up in school just like human children!

This was a catastrophe for them. Countless wolf cubs and puppy cubs were caught by managers from the forests and grasslands and stuffed into makeshift schools.

A human principal, a dozen or so kobold teachers, and hundreds of kobold nannies are responsible for managing them.

Many of these canine cubs have already developed a sense of territory and competition. As soon as they enter school, they start to urinate in their own territory and compete for the position of leader.

The teachers are all troubled by these naughty kids.

The probability of alien cubs being able to read and become illiterate is very low, but at least they can be taught some basic rules and common Imperial language, so as not to have two words and three barks in one sentence, making it completely incomprehensible.

During this period, the Gnoll Tribe also welcomed its new members.

A Western Territory Gnoll Tribe numbering over a thousand entered Buck Fortress, passed through the Shadow Claw Knight Territory, and joined Fisa's army.
