Lord of Winter: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 499: Chapter 308: The Most Important Asset in the Northern Territory Is Talent (Part 2)

”The preliminary three-phase plan of the Education Department is currently drafted. Most of the content has been gradually refined by our team after you proposed the core objectives...”

”Hmm.” Louis nodded, his tone calm, ”Continue.”

Lanna continued to explain: ”The first plan is basic compulsory education. We intend to establish one hundred town schools outside the Red Tide City within five years, covering the entire jurisdiction, especially in densely populated or concentrated areas.

Each location will be equipped with at least one literacy teacher and several specialized course teachers tailored to local needs, such as teaching agriculture mainly in Mai Lang Territory, and ’Circuit Lecturers’ dispatched from headquarters to give a monthly lecture on law and order. Of course, particularly smart children can study in the Red Tide Territory.

Class times will be concentrated to avoid the busy periods of spring planting and autumn harvest, ensuring attendance rates.”

Louis nodded slightly: ”Is the grain subsidy included as well?”

”Yes.” Lanna quickly replied, ”Enrolled children can receive an additional ten percent grain quota to ensure families agree.

Additionally, all teachers will be formally integrated into the Red Tide civil system, enjoying the treatment of grassroots officials, which helps attract stable teaching resources.”

”Very good.” Louis closed the document and looked up to meet her gaze, ”Are these independently drafted by you?”

”Lanna slightly lowered her head nervously: ”The overall direction comes from your initial arrangement, and the rest were refined by the Education Department.”

”Very good.” Louis repeated, ”Next item.”

Lanna turned to the next page, her tone no longer restrained, with a subtle sense of pride: ”The second phase is a pilot for higher education, the Red Tide College.

This is a plan you personally proposed. We plan to establish a new campus in the old fort area in the west suburb of Red Tide City, named Red Tide College.”

”How many districts?” Bradley interjected.

”Four.” Lanna answered succinctly, then added, ”The first is the Teachers’ College to train key faculty for town schools; the second is the Administrative Clerks Department, preparing for the future civil servant system of Red Tide.”

She paused, glanced at Louis’s expression, and continued: ”The third is the Skills Workshop to train alchemy apprentices, craftsmen, and other technical talents. Lastly, the basic medical department fills the huge post-war gap, which we must address quickly.”

”Admission standards?” Louis asked, clearly focused.

”The first cohort plans to enroll two hundred people.” Lanna replied, ”Recommended and screened jointly by town mayors and the Inspectorate, with public tuition waived and a mandatory service of ten years. Graduates must serve within the Red Tide system for ten years.”

Louis nodded upon hearing this: ”Very good.”

Lanna also smiled a bit, turning to the last page: ”Finally, it’s publicity and supporting facility construction.

We’ll form mobile teams consisting of lecturers and performers, touring all areas to promote educational concepts and benefits, encouraging children of residents to go to school.

Also establishing the ’Red Tide Talents List,’ publicly announcing outstanding students each year and prioritizing them for excellent job positions.”

Louis closed the plan book, lightly flicking the cover and leaning back in his chair.

He didn’t speak immediately but slowly surveyed the entire office before his gaze returned to Lanna.

”Well done.” His voice was full of affirmation, ”You’ve truly understood the meaning of education.”

Lanna hurriedly stood and saluted, her voice carrying a slight tremble: ”Y-Yes! We will obey the Lord’s orders!”

In that moment, her eyes felt warm as she struggled to keep her emotions in check.

During these two years in Red Tide, she had learned restraint, calmness, and responsibility.

This sentence suddenly gave weight to all the fatigue from daily preparations and nightly revisions.

”These... are all because of your good guidance.” She bowed her head, speaking swiftly and solemnly, ”If it weren’t for your personal guidance and system establishment, we could never have come this far. It’s Red Tide that taught me the mission, it’s you... that helped me find the meaning of life.”
