In order to eliminate these effects, education has become the only means.

Think about it, when the next generation of the entire country has received free compulsory education and established common values, thoughts and identity in the learning process, who else can shake the foundation of the empire?

In addition, we can also list in the textbook some places where the empire is superior to other countries, such as its huge territory, developed transportation system and most prosperous commerce, as well as its clean and efficient bureaucracy.

In this way, after students graduate, they will be proud of their status as citizens of the empire and proud of the empire's achievements.

They will subconsciously spread and influence more people.

This spiritual aspect will create strong cohesion over time.

After everyone within the territory accepts this value, the entire West Coast will be completely condensed into a complete entity.

Even if the empire is destroyed hundreds or even thousands of years later, countless people will still stand up and try to restore its glory.

And we who have established this education system and consensus will surely be remembered by history and future generations.

Therefore, investing in education is not just to make more people literate, able to do simple mathematical calculations, and learn various professional knowledge by themselves when needed.

Its real intention is to create a soul that is different from any other city-state or even country in Faerûn.

What's more, we can also set up professional education on the basis of basic education to provide scarce talents for all walks of life."

As these words blurted out, everyone present widened their eyes in shock.

Especially Vera, who had strongly opposed it before, her eyes were filled with admiration and fanatical worship.

Because she understands that if she can do this by investing several million gold coins every year, then this investment will definitely make a lot of money.

The Minister of Culture and Education, who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, even bent down and bowed deeply, saying in an excited voice: "Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor!

Please allow me to applaud your vision and planning that transcends the times!

You are undoubtedly the best ruler in the world!

Under your leadership, the West Coast Empire will surely usher in unprecedented prosperity and glory!

I am willing to devote the rest of my life to education, hoping to see a little dawn before I die."

"Thanks for the compliment, I also hope that this day can come soon."

Zuo Si patted the old man's shoulder encouragingly.

He has always been very fond of this kind of pure scholar who has no interests and only wants to realize his own self-worth.

In today's bureaucracy, the proportion of such people is not low.

Vera also came back to her senses at this moment, with a look of shame on her face, and she lowered her head proactively: "Sorry, Your Majesty, I am too superficial and stupid to understand the profound meaning of your investment in education."

Zuo Si smiled and waved his hand: "No, you don't have to apologize.

As Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is your duty to resist every unnecessary expense.

I don't think you have done anything wrong, but I think you are quite conscientious.

Well, that ends the debate about universal basic education.

If there is nothing else, you can continue your work."

Watching Zuo Si's figure disappear at the end of the corridor leading to the depths of the palace, Shawde Tarovin relaxed his tense nerves and joked in a half-joking tone: "Everyone, I believe you all should know by now that we are loyal

What a great monarch, right?

If you don’t want to lose your current position, you’d better be serious about your work and don’t play tricks.

After all, there are countless people behind you staring at every possible vacant chair in the cabinet.

Now, let us discuss in detail the plan to build public schools in various towns.

This is not an easy job.

Although we have established one or two schools in many cities."

"In terms of finance, based on the current tax scale, we can allocate a special fund of almost 3.6 million gold coins."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Vera glanced at the account book in her hand and quickly gave an accurate number.

The Minister of Culture and Education hurriedly checked the number of towns and immediately nodded with a smile: "Thank you very much! As the starting capital for the first phase, I think this money is enough."

"First of all, I have to send someone to verify the whereabouts of every copper in this money. You'd better keep a close eye on the people under you. If there is corruption or you don't know where it is spent, you should know the consequences best.

."

Vera raised her head and issued a serious warning.

"Don't worry! If someone dares to stretch out his hand, I will be the first to spare him."

……

Just when the senior cabinet officials were meeting to decide on all matters of the entire empire, Zuo Si had already returned to the Mage Tower in Ascaltra through the portal.

The succubus Loli Atona, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately jumped up and hugged his neck, kissed him hard on the cheek, and then reported enthusiastically: "Master! Viconia just came with information, saying that Ai

Renikas is about to complete all the experiments. She asked me to ask you if you can move on to the next stage?"

"Of course! Just tell Viconia to get Aberdare and his party directly to Ascaltra through the portal."

Zuo Si casually put the little one in his arms on the ground and gently stroked her long, silky hair and the curved horns on her forehead.

The succubus loli obviously liked this kind of intimate interaction very much. She squinted her eyes and put on an expression of great enjoyment. At the same time, she did not forget to continue reporting: "In addition to Viconia, the blazing god's servant Nimedona...

I came back two days ago.

She has sorted out the Druid sects in most of the forests in the empire.

None of the extremist sects who believed in Silvanus were spared, and the rest basically either chose to convert or were expelled.

Now there is only the Wildas Forest, where elves are entrenched, and it is not convenient to do anything."

"How did the nature deity sects react?"

Zuo Si touched his chin and asked thoughtfully.

"No response at the moment.

After all, the Druids' concept of restricting the development of towns and villages to protect nature is not in the interest of most people.

After hearing the news, many people clapped their hands.

Especially for professions such as hunters, woodcutters, and lumberjacks, they wish all the druids would die.

Because of the disappearance of these Druids, the logging industry in many towns became prosperous again.

After all, since the invention of the propeller magic thruster, the shipyard's orders have almost been scheduled until two years later.

So they urgently need a lot of wood and steel to build new ships."

Succubus Loli shook out all the information she had collected.

You must know that she has countless "licking dogs" in the city of Ascatla, and she can easily obtain all kinds of information from each other's mouths.

This information network does not require money to maintain at all, and can in turn provide a variety of luxurious enjoyment and valuable gifts.

"Well, it seems that I have overestimated the power of those natural gods and their churches in the mortal world."

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression.

He originally thought that his behavior would trigger a series of chain reactions.

But who would have thought that Silvanus, the father of the oak tree, would completely ignore it and allow his faith to disappear completely in the southern part of the west coast.

In this case, we can then carry out drastic and large-scale transformation of the climate, natural environment and terrain.

After all, looking at the continent of Faerûn from a modern perspective, there is no need to protect any nonsense nature in this place.

After leaving the towns and villages, all you can see at a glance are endless forests, grasslands, mountains and wilderness. Those monsters that cannot be killed no matter how hard they are, the beasts are the best proof.

Zuo Si's goal is simple, first eradicate the Cloak Forest near Baldur's Gate, the Sharptooth Forest and the Viper Forest in the south of the Green Field.

As a result, a large and continuous fertile plain will appear north of the Yunwu Mountains.

As long as you make good use of the Chongsa River and the rivers and lakes in the Amn region, this place will become a huge granary.

Standing on the high tower, Zuo Si and Succubus Loli condescendingly admired the completely new scenery of the entire Gold Coin City.

With the proposal of urban planning and reconstruction plans, Ascaltra has now demolished its original city walls and begun to expand and extend outwards.

The original urban areas are also undergoing intensive construction. Old buildings are constantly being demolished, and new and taller buildings are rising from the ground. At a glance, it looks like a huge construction site.

Through these demolitions and reconstructions, the originally narrow roads in the city have been significantly widened, and there are also green belts on both sides and street lights blessed with eternal fireworks.

When night falls, the whole city is shrouded in ample light.

Those small vendors who had to close their stalls and go home after dark now gather in groups under street lights to sell their goods and snacks to pedestrians.

Many civilians who have no nightlife habit are now beginning to enjoy the life changes brought about by the spread of magic and technology.

The prosperous terminal has adopted a new management method, which is not only efficient but can also accommodate more ships.

Sailors from all over the world gathered in taverns and special service venues, loudly praising this port city, which in their opinion is the most prosperous, lively, safest and most opportunity-rich port city in the world.
