Capítulo 1970: Chapter 12: Fiery Fla Land Is Getting Anxious
After finishing speaking, Ian chatted briefly with Green Tide and Roland about so work matters before turning to leave.
For the months ahead, there is much work for Ian and Adalbert to undertake — if Green Tide and Roland have favorable responses to the Blessing System, then a collective blessing will need to be administered to all newborns in the upcoming months—it might be slightly less effective but is safer and more reliable.
As for now, Ian is heading to the Silver Peak Command Plaza to issue another public announcent.
This ti, what he’ll be announcing is the brand-new policy known as “Nine-Year Compulsory Education”!
…
On October 3, Terra Year 777, the Grand Duke of the Setar Empire’s Southern Ridges, a Fifth Energy Level powerhouse, Ian Silverpeak, delivered a significant speech in the central plaza of Xiahui City, Silver Peak Domain.
Humans are the foundation of civilization, society, and strength. The more people there are, the more producers, researchers, and technologies exist, and consequently, more powerhouses erge. Humans are the basis of everything.
The foundation of human society is families, is children. Silverpeak Domain prioritizes the growth and education of all children; only nations and forces that focus on children have future scientific research.
During this speech, the Duke of Silverpeak repeatedly emphasized the importance of ‘education’ and ‘children,’ designating it as a national policy of the South Ridge Duchy, with ‘Nine-Year Compulsory Education’ as the core of the policy.
Starting at age six, every child of appropriate age in the South Ridge Duchy must receive relevant educational instruction; Silverpeak Domain does not permit any child labor or uneducated children to exist. Once anyone, regardless of race, group, or force, is discovered to be attempting to hide from education, the Silver Peak Command Special Execution Troops will intervene.
Before age six, when parents are both working, Silverpeak Domain offers two options for early childhood education: one is to send children to public kindergartens operated by the state, and the other is that qualified parents can educate their children at ho if they pass exams.
The growth of children is related to the country’s foundation and fortune. Silverpeak Domain will introduce a child education system with Silverpeak Domain characteristics, with the entrance test at age six focusing on assessing every child’s talent and adaptability. Children with spirit energy talent will receive the most suitable nurturing. The Duke of Silverpeak promises in the na of the Prophet that he will not overlook any genius within his domain.
If they truly have talent, he is willing to take these children as apprentices, nurturing them from a young age.
Additionally, news about the universal vaccination in Silverpeak Domain and spirit energy blessings from the Supre Spirit Sect was reported.
The newspaper also featured a photo of Ian Silverpeak smiling while holding a child.
Holy, saintly.
No one can find fault with Ian’s image.
Even the People of the Fiery Fla Land are the sa.
For a mont, all forces in the Whole Terra concerned about Ian’s reform thods were astonished.
Universal compulsory education? Universal aptitude testing? Furthermore, if sufficiently talented, the possibility to follow him, to study under this Fifth Energy Level practitioner?
Damn it, this Silverpeak Seer will stop at nothing for votes, won’t he?!
For a mont, all the forces wanting to imitate Silverpeak Domain’s policies felt a pent-up frustration.
Universal compulsory education, Terra’s powerhouses and governnts do understand the appeal of this policy to ordinary people; however, universal compulsory education doesn’t offer great benefits, and they lack the organizational capability to enact such policies, placing it in the realm of sothing that is not very useful but regretful to abandon.
But Silverpeak Domain is different; Silverpeak Domain has fully integrated the Arcane Pathway into its region, aning universal compulsory education here encompasses specialized Arcane Pathway teachers instructing breathing techniques and spirit refining thods, equivalent to everyone having to learn cultivation from a young age, universally promoting the Sublimation Path!
Can other countries achieve this?
They can’t!
Because their governntal systems are still in the feudal era, at most in the early industrial era—the politics of power may be stable, but being too stable can lead to governntal inefficiency, even extre backwardness!
Without the Heart of Terra assisting in establishing a universal archive, other forces on Terra Continent can’t even ascertain how many school-age children are within their domains, how many schools need to be built, how much material prepared—let alone soone like Ian, who prepares everything before announcing that he will begin!
As for universal aptitude testing, it follows the sa principle: it’s not impossible, but in practice, other forces’ tentacle-like chanisms can’t penetrate the grassroots, nor can they ensure the authenticity of the data and whether inspectors will engage in fraud—honestly, they are baffled by why Ian is unconcerned about the data’s authenticity and grassroots corruption.
This is the difference between a governnt supported by high-level artificial intelligence and one without it.
And the final aspect, the ‘taking apprentices’ promise from a Fifth Energy Level practitioner is truly frustrating.
Note that, unlike many other Fifth Energy Level practitioners, Ian since starting as a Lord has often conducted a cycle of speeches throughout the territory, and with any major news, he personally delivers it, even occasionally going incognito to chat with locals; this amicability, this image, is incomparable to other Fifth Energy Level practitioners.
Aside from anything else, Ian Silverpeak’s personal charm has reached the point where every household in Silverpeak Domain has his portrait displayed, privately crafted small statues of Duke Silverpeak repeatedly sell out, now in the seventh edition, yet still completely sold out within two days.
The grand promises he paints, even if false, will still fool countless people willingly.
Even if, after fifty years, he only takes three disciples, there won’t be any dissatisfaction; rather, everyone will fiercely envy those three chosen fortunate ones.
And what about other Fifth Energy Level practitioners?
Those forr emperors, chairn, governors, and presidents…those high and mighty practitioners, can they walk through streets covered in flowers like Ian Silverpeak?
They only earn fear, but love…is ultimately sowhat lacking.
And most importantly, it cos down to the next statent.
“All benefits are also valid for immigrants.”
“Silverpeak Domain welcos everyone in this world to join us, including regions too—regardless of who, where, as long as you’re willing to join, you can start taking action now.”
“It’s not just for you, but for your next generation.”
Fiery Fla Land.
‘Abyss of Falling Flas.’
Abassalom Royal Court.
A pair of sowhat aged hands placed down the newspaper, while nearby several ministers kneeled on the ground, not daring to breathe, sweating coldly, waiting for the ‘King’s’ will.
“I see…it looks like promoting his own benefits, but in reality, it targets our Fiery Fla Land.”
A calm, magnetic voice rang out, dark red eyes contemplatively gazing towards Silverpeak Domain’s direction: “The nurous pieces of news in this paper all secretly suggest that the residents of Fiery Fla Land should turn to him—because our Fiery Fla Land indeed can’t properly care for children, the population explosion resulted in the lower-class losing educational opportunities, societal competition is imnse, and even feeding one child in a family is difficult.”
“Indeed. The populace lives in hardship. I didn’t pay much attention to this in the past, nor did you all—so now it’s our turn to endure suffering.”
“Even though we’ve continuously made changes over the past year, the results haven’t shown much yet, more ti is needed to improve the lives of bottom-tier residents.”
“Yet, Silverpeak Domain’s opinion offensive has already arrived—in a while, those criticizing Fiery Fla Land traditions, criticizing royal court policies, those voices envyingly praising Silverpeak Domain’s achievents will sweep across the entirety of Abassalom.”
“By then, how should we treat those nationals who wish to immigrate?”
“Dear ministers, what should I do?”
At this mont, the Unextinguishable Hellfire, Ashen King spoke with a seemingly calm but actually blood-curdling tone: “Should I feign ignorance, cover my ears, let the nationals leave, or should I directly surrender, voluntarily send our Fiery Fla Land’s vast populace abroad to join that Silverpeak brat…”
“Or, begin a counterattack from now on?”
