The aspect that exceeded Anfa’s imagination was that the education zone in Xiahui City was enormous.
Starting from Dazzling Lake and extending all the way into the northeast mountainous area, this entire newly developed area eventually beca the education zone of Silverpeak Domain.
Primary schools, secondary schools, technical schools, vocational technical schools, Sublimation Training Camps, Arcane Path Training Camps, and Youth Army Training Grounds...
Children’s daycare centers, adult education colleges, art colleges, Spirit Energy Developnt Center, and Dazzling Lake Special Operations Test Center...
A large number of extrely important educational facilities and test sites were concentrated in this plot of land far removed from the city, yet firmly under Xiahui City’s control.
Here, it could be overlooked by Sio’s Dragon Nest, watched by the Lord’s Mansion on Silver Peak, with garrisons and agricultural building complexes nearby, protected by all the ard forces, while enjoying the freshest and most delicious food.
It can be said that the education zone of Xiahui City is a small city that received special treatnt.
And in this small city, there are only ’students’ and ’educators.’
Anfa walked in surprise with Ian around the education zone. She saw students of different ages each in their designated areas, chatting happily with their peers, conversing about learning and interesting things happening at school.
They always had smiles, occasionally troubled, but it was just due to howork and other adolescent concerns.
They had no worries about food or clothing, nor about the future, learning the most precious knowledge of this world, and enjoying the best years of their lives with pure happiness.
"...In Silver Peak Domain, all the children of eligible age are probably here, right?"
Anfa lowered her eyes, she sensed the entire zone, concentrating and quickly calculating a number that shocked her greatly: "My god, there are over one hundred and ten thousand minors in the entire zone... How did you manage to take these children from their parents?!"
"My people are very sensible, don’t use the word ’take,’ they were all sent here willingly."
Ian wasn’t surprised by Anfa’s choice of words, and he just emphasized: "I don’t even charge tuition here, why wouldn’t they send their children over?"
In many places on Terra, children are the possessions of their parents.
The poorer they are, the more they have children.
In those parents’ eyes, offspring are not about bloodline inheritance or the continuation of dreams. They are just children, not that rare or precious; the birth of these little lives only has one aning, which is to beco the labor force of the family when they grow up, to be the fighting force of the family, a military power and number for competing against other families and villages.
The number of people in a family can asure their strength. The more people, the more land they can cultivate, the more water sources they can secure, the more fields they can farm, and even more ga they can hunt.
Under this kind of thinking, if soone asked a family to send their children to study, and to make these people understand that studying is sothing worth supporting, it would really be quite naive.
It’s equivalent to asking parents to cut off a piece of their flesh, their possession, to pursue a ’future’ they never contemplated.
But in Silver Peak Domain, it’s different.
The foundation of Silver Peak Domain lies in the Mountain People.
The Mountain People don’t have deeply ingrained farming habits, they are relatively weak at utilizing child labor, and before the children grow up, no one insists they go hunting; most of them stay in the tribe to handle so manual tasks and training.
Coupled with the recent two years, due to the output of agricultural buildings and new fertilizers, everyone can eat their fill, all households have surplus grain, that bit of child labor is now overlooked.
With the spread of various factories and processing facilities in Silverpeak Domain, those tribesn who used to have so leisure have also beco busy; both parents find it hard to spare ti to accompany or look after their children.
Under this premise where the Mountain People’s lifestyle has collectively transford drastically, with Ian, as the Supre Spirit Sect Leader, the Dragon God’s Emissary, and Silver Peak Earl, announcing the establishnt of an education zone to educate all their children, help with caring, teaching, providing ample food and allowance...
Would anyone really refuse?
Of course not, absolutely not!
Not only that, but even so families not from Silverpeak Domain, upon hearing this news, desperately rushed to send their children here to study.
It’s not due to the allowance.
It’s because they know that when the vast majority have sent their children under Silver Peak Earl, if theirs wasn’t part of it, the one isolated in the future would undoubtedly be their own child.
So Ian never took, everyone willingly sent their children here, to receive his education, to beco part of his base.
Of course, fundantally it’s because Ian Silverpeak is one of the founders of the Arcane Pathway, one of the strongest in South Ridge, and the leader guiding Silverpeak Domain step-by-step to flourish and prosper.
If he were to pursue sothing, he wouldn’t need any reason, there would naturally be supporters dreaming up explanations. If he called for sothing, people wouldn’t even think, they would just support it indiscriminately.
Even those who don’t believe in Ian’s goodwill would still fear Ian and thus have no choice but to follow Ian’s rules.
