System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 851: Chapter 268: Literacy Campaign (10K)_2

With a thought in mind, he glanced at their information panel.

Almost everyone had a loyalty value of over 90%.

Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

It’s vital to know.

These people are the main leaders of various industries and workshops.

They were personally selected by him.

And entrusted with significant responsibilities, so naturally, there would be no low loyalty values or cases of betrayal.

Lynn looked directly at the dozen or so people in front of him and spoke.

"Gentlemen, you might be curious as to why I’ve suddenly gathered you all here."

Listening to Lynn’s words, a few foremen with less tact nodded subconsciously.

Lynn continued: "As the leaders of various industries, I believe you might be more aware than I am of what your industry needs most to improve production efficiency."

Some of the foremen couldn’t help but furrow their brows.

Lynn looked toward Gavin in front and asked, "Gavin, you’re currently leading three thousand people in land development."

"Tell us, how can we improve the efficiency of development."

Hearing Lynn’s inquiry, Gavin replied without hesitation.

He thought for a few seconds and explained, "Master, I don’t know if I’m right, I’m just speaking based on my thoughts and feelings."

The eyes of the surrounding people naturally turned to Gavin.

Seeing Lynn nod in response, Gavin spoke directly: "Right now, we really do have a lot of farmers! Truly a lot."

"Previously, for the one hundred thousand acres of land that was developed and planted, we only had two hundred farmers for care."

"What does that mean?"

"It means we had to go back and rest as soon as it got dark, and head out as soon as dawn was breaking."

"There was always unfinished work to do."

"Because the land for planting and development was just too vast."

Standing behind Gavin, Wilbur nodded slightly, his face full of agreement.

Because, he was one of the two hundred farmers Gavin mentioned.

"But now it’s different!"

"Master, you’ve dispatched a large workforce for us!"

"There are now two thousand farmers just responsible for managing the one hundred thousand acres of land."

"Three thousand are preparing the weedy wasteland for summer planting."

At this point, Gavin’s tone shifted, sounding somewhat uncertain: "However, Master, I still feel something isn’t quite right."

Lynn replied, "Speak freely."

Gavin thought for a few more seconds: "It’s true the population has increased."

"Just like the current land development, we now have many more oxen pulling the wheel plow."

"Yet, labor efficiency still isn’t improving!"

"They’ve never seen a wheel plow and don’t know how to use the heavy plow for development..."

"I have to arrange people to spend a lot of time teaching them how to use the wheel plow for development..."

As Gavin spoke, Lynn immediately picked up on his words.

"In simple terms, the technical ability of the workforce is lacking!"

Gavin’s eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "Yes, Master, that’s exactly it."

Lynn nodded and looked at the other foremen.

"Do you have similar issues in your workshops?"

Before he could ask them one by one, Ehrelo replied, "Master, my Blacksmith Workshop is the same."

"The labor force has increased significantly, but correspondingly, I need to arrange people to teach and train them."

"Initially, not only does it not improve production efficiency, but it also slows it down because of their arrival."

"Additionally, forging is different from some ordinary positions."

"Like mining coal, as long as you have the tools and strength, you can do it..."

"To train a blacksmith apprentice to become an independent blacksmith takes at least a few years..."

Lynn nodded again, looking at Colin.

Colin also explained: "Master, indeed, teaching apprentices takes a long time."

Perhaps because Gavin, Ehrelo, and Colin started the conversation.

The rest of the workshop foremen or leaders also began to speak up.

A few minutes later.

Lynn raised his right hand slightly.

The once slightly restless reception hall immediately quieted down.

Lynn addressed them, speaking in a deep voice: "This is why I have gathered you at the castle."

"I plan to launch night education for all townsmen across the entire territory."

Their eyebrows raised, their faces full of confusion.

"Night education?"

Lynn responded with an explanation.

"After their workday, all townsmen will be grouped for night education under scholars, learning literacy and writing."

"I will issue a document."

"Anyone who can learn literacy and writing and graduate with scholar certification will receive one hundred military merit points!"

"They can exchange this for one acre of land, thus obtaining privatized land."

"Except for needing to pay a small portion of taxes, the crops produced from the land will be entirely owned by the townsmen!"

Hearing Lynn’s words, the eyes of the foremen opened wide.

One hundred military merit points.

Can completely be exchanged for an acre of genuine land.

Master Lynn actually said that townsmen can receive this just by learning literacy and writing.

Let alone townsmen.

Even they were stirred with excitement.

Lynn naturally noticed their slightly wavering eyes.

He continued, "You are also included."

"As long as you can learn literacy and writing, you can obtain land."

Lynn then changed his tone, "However, let me make it clear."

"This acre of land needs to be self-developed by townsmen outside the city walls!"
