The school starts in May, and there is no summer and winter break, but there is a spring and fall break.

Since Serena has already said that she wants to do compulsory education, then she will definitely do compulsory education!

She wants to make knowledge no longer monopolized by the aristocracy, and even if the churches will recruit apprentices, they will only admit some apprentices who they think are well-qualified, and it is extremely difficult to read and learn to count, these are often only the privileges of the aristocracy, even if they are merchants, they will not require their children to be able to read, as long as they can read and do some simple calculations.

Basic education is important, regardless of the era.

Serena doesn't think that there are many talents or geniuses among these children, this is a very small number of existences, which is why it is special and rare.

It's just that she hopes that people will be able to understand some of the decrees and policies she has promulgated and improve their enforcement on this basis.

And in this day and age, she can also increase people's enthusiasm for work, just as she did not adopt summer and winter vacations in a way that is not tailored to local conditions and time.

A child, or a half-grown child, is often an important labor force in a peasant family, and if they have to miss the spring and autumn harvest seasons in order to study, then their parents may have a different fate for their children in the future, even if they know that if their children are literate and numeracy, they must think carefully for the sake of spring sowing and autumn harvest.

It is precisely because of these considerations that the maid of the Sad Wind family will choose to start school in this not yet hot May.

The name of the school is 'Hope', and a large bronze plaque sits directly above the school gate.

The dwarven blacksmith who created this plaque only charged the cost, and the labor cost was confiscated not a single copper coin, just because the school accepted admission from different races.

Not only human beings, but children of other races, as long as they are willing to go to school, this school called 'hope', which is actually 'hope', will definitely accept them.

Unlike all human lords, no other race is officially discriminated against in the Sadwind Realm, which may have something to do with the fact that the owner of this territory is a black dragon, but the settlers of other races don't think about it that much, they just think - the people of this territory don't discriminate against them!

Alien races who have left their ancestral land and come to settle in human society will always be discriminated against, whether they are commoners or nobles, whether they are civil or official, what they say is quite good, but in fact their actions and words are very different.

Although the old duke was a very good person, he did not explicitly prohibit this kind of behavior, because in his opinion, it was also a very rare and normal thing.

After the Duke of Cervantes succeeded to the throne, the maid lord explicitly forbade this discrimination, saying that 'as long as the people of the Sadwind Territory are not racial', which is why they are so supportive of the new duke and the maid lord.

It's just that they're willing to be kind to other races!

If it weren't a last resort, if it wasn't a naturally evil race, no one would want to go down the path of sin, because everyone knows that it will lose their heads.

They were not cornered, because the head maid and the new duke were willing to give them a chance.

Theoretically, this school will also admit noble students, but there will be no special classes, the children of the nobles and commoners will study in the same class, and the children of humans will study together with the children of other races, because they are all lords of the Sadwind Territory - there is no difference in essence!

But how many aristocrats will send their children to share a room with those 'mud-legged' children and study together...... This is unknown.

Unbeknownst to them, the school's basic education was, in some respects, much more harmful than the private teachers they had hired themselves.

But even if they knew, they wouldn't have sent their children just because they were nobles - the nobles had already given up on sending their children to this school when they publicly announced that it would be open to all the lords.

After the owner of the Sad Wind Territory changed, the Sad Wind Territory became more and more annoying to them, if it weren't for their family's territory still here, they would definitely not choose to stay in the Sad Wind Territory, even if they stayed in the Sad Wind Territory, they could earn a lot of money, but can the dignity of the nobles be exchanged for gold coins?

The head maid of the Sad Wind family deliberately pushed off all her work and brought the Duke and the former Duke's daughter to this not very big school.

In this magical world, especially after the maid brought the knowledge of concrete to this world, it perfectly replicated the school in the maid's memory.

A teaching building is a four-storey building, each floor is four meters high, and the 'tall building' that is twelve meters high appears in the Sorrowful Wind Collar and becomes a kind of ...... Well, 'spectacle'! a temporary spectacle!

People in this world can build more elaborate and taller buildings, but the feeling of these school buildings — a sense of novelty — is hard to resist.

The school, named 'Hope', was built in the Lower Quarter, but in the 'New Lower Quarter' after the expansion of the city.

With plans in place six months ago, construction starting five and a half months ago, and being officially completed ten days ago, the school was built entirely out of money.

The construction speed of the new city is very slow, but only this school is built at a frightening speed, and others don't know how much money the owner of the Sad Wind Leader has spent on this school, but there is no doubt that it must have exceeded 10,000 gold coins!

Before the maid lord did not ascend to the throne, the tax revenue of the Grief Wind Leader was only 48,000 gold coins a year, which was lower than the average level of the inland territory, and Wende City was only barely able to have 10,000 gold coins a year, relying on various taxes and the advantages of the main city to barely support an army.

After the chief maid came to power, although she made more money, after all, it was a year's tax, and she did this, which gave many people the impression of extravagance.

They don't understand how important basic education is!

The economy has developed, so basic education naturally has to keep up, otherwise the development of the economy and education is unbalanced, and it is easy to drag down the other on the one hand.

The development of the economy is closely related to the development of education, and even if many people do not understand this truth, they should also have a bit of a B...... BILIBILI is right.

In fact, they were just jealous, jealous that she was able to 'spend'!

Although when the compulsory education is carried out, the Sad Wind Collar still needs to continue to pour money into it, but the reputation has been out, but it is expected that this benefit should be able to touch the hearts of many people, so that they can make up their minds to move their families to the Sad Wind Collar, compared with the investment, the ensuing benefits are more.

The maid never does a loss-making business, many people can only see, or only want to see short-term gains, but she has set her sights on the longer term.

Education is not urgent, and she needs to make a more long-term plan.

She deliberately put down all her work and brought Edith and Cervantes to the school to give the opening speech to the students, just to let them know who gave them their current life, who made them go to school, and who freed them from the shackles of fate and life.

If one-third of these students can think of repaying the Sad Wind Leader, then the comprehensive strength of the Sad Wind Leader will be able to reach a higher level.

It turned out to be just a 'grass platform team' built by some officials and aristocrats, and after these fresh blood are injected, the sad wind leader, which could only build a 'grass platform team', will build a tall building and overlook the world.

The opening speech still has to be done by a maid, the sister-in-law is inexperienced and prone to stage fright, and the stupid dragon can't speak, so she can only come.

With the same excitement as the students, the maid of the Sad Wind family stepped forward.

"I know you've been waiting a long time too, and I'm not going to talk any more nonsense. Students, like the name of this school, you are the future and 'hope' of the sad wind leader, and you also have a different future and hope. ”

"I don't want the children of farmers to be farmers, the children of businessmen can only be businessmen, and the children of herdsmen can only be herdsmen, and children should be able to have more choices, rather than not being able to live without inheriting the family business. ”

"Fathers are fathers, you are you, everyone should be different!"

"The first duke, our Lord Mauriguez, was also a commoner, but was favored by the great King Krylov I, and later became a duke. ”

"It's impossible for everyone to become a nobleman, but I want you to learn from Lord Mauriguez's enterprising spirit!"

"I hope that the children of farmers can no longer be farmers, the children of businessmen can no longer be businessmen, and the children of herders can no longer be herdsmen, and you will be able to have more choices!"

"I announce that this is the end of this speech, and the 'Hope' Academy is officially opened!"

Then, cheers resounded throughout Wende City, and the whole city was plunged into a sea of joy.

Whether it is the students standing on the playground, or the parents of the students lying on the school wall and outside the gate, or the ordinary residents living in Wende City, even the adventurers and mercenaries all raise their glasses and shout-

"Long live the maid, long live the sad wind leader, long live the duke!"
