The morning’s work began as scheduled.

Because there were more things going on today, Jon was heading to the municipal building.

Although the municipal building has five floors and is large, there are not many people in fact now.

And everyone is relatively busy.

Jon walks into his office and finds Frank Butler and Anna already waiting.

“Butler Frank, Chief Anna is sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Where does His Highness say, the old minister waits for His Highness, this is the right thing.” Steward Frank said with trepidation.

Chief Anna touched her chest with her right hand and saluted: “I am your subordinate, this is the right thing to do.” ”

“Okay, let’s talk about it. Something to report. Jon sat in his chair, his legs crossed.

Frank flipped through the book in his hand: “It’s about a few questions, namely the construction of the windmill mill, the operation of the municipal building, and the reaction of the bicycle to the market.” ”

Jon nodded: “You say, I’ll listen.” ”

“According to your orders, ten windmills have been built. Ten windmills are already sufficient to meet the needs of grain mills in border towns. ”

Butler Frank said: “Now everyone eats bread, food. They are all made with fine flour, and the taste is very good. ”

Jon nodded: “After the windmill mill is built, then build a watermill, you can change a few watermills to watermills, in case there is no wind, you can replace the watermill.” ”

“Okay, that’s what I thought of too. Miss Tang Yuan also gave me the design drawings, and I will arrange it later. Frank Butler said.

Butler Frank continued: “As for the operation of the municipal building, according to your orders, many relevant departments have been transferred to the municipal building, which has greatly increased efficiency.

It’s just that there is still a shortage of manpower in our municipal buildings, and now the population of our border towns is increasing every day, reaching 2,000 people.

And Miss Kelly had said that before the winter began to send several batches of slaves to the border towns, totaling 1,000 people. In total, by the end of winter, the population of our border towns is very likely to reach about 3,500 to 4,000. ”

Anna on the side interjected at this time: “Regarding the problem of population increase, our police station is also a little overloaded now. Less than 50 police officers, but 2,000 people are in charge of security.

Coupled with the fact that the area of the new border town has expanded tenfold compared to before, 50 people is simply not enough. ”

Jon nodded: “As the population increases, management should indeed be strengthened.” You can expand the recruitment, Anna, you will be equipped with one police officer for every 20 people, and if the number is less, you will expand the recruitment.

Priority is given to veterans, honest and loyal people, combat effectiveness can not be too demanding, but character and loyalty must pass.

Now the border town police are a signboard in our border town. ”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Anna replied.

“Your Highness, the police station recruits people easily. However, we can’t recruit everyone in the municipal building, after all, to deal with these things, we need people with knowledge and ability.

In the past, in those main cities and royal cities, people were recruited from the nobles, and there were no nobles in our border towns. Steward Frank said with a wry smile.

The previous border town did not have nobles, which also relieved Jon of a lot of trouble in governance, but without nobles, it means that there are not many people with high school hours.

After all, in this world, only nobles have the opportunity to learn.

Ordinary people can’t even learn a few words, how to let them enter the municipal department to participate in the management of border towns.

“It seems that it is time to start the era of universal learning, which is just about to enter the winter, and after the winter, many things must be stopped so that the residents of the border towns can learn.”

Jon took out a stack of papers from the drawer and threw it in front of Frank’s butler: “Frank, look at this thing.” ”

Butler Frank took the document and flipped through it.

“School? Adult schools? Public servant? ”

There are a lot of things written in the document.

“I want to build schools in border towns, as well as adult schools, vocational and technical schools. Anyone can participate in the learning and it is completely free.

And from now on, all children under the legal age of official citizenship in border towns must enter school to learn basic literacy, mathematics and other things.

After that, you can enter a vocational and technical school, learn your favorite technology, and enter the society in the future, you can have a skill. And some capable people can take the civil service examination.

Those who successfully pass the civil service can be arranged in various units of municipal buildings. Jon explained.

Anna on the side widened her eyes: “These are all free?” ”

“That’s right, and in order to promote sending children to school, the children’s food and lodging border towns will be responsible.” Jon added.

Anna covered her mouth, after such a decree was introduced, Anna absolutely believed that there would be an influx of children into the school.

Thinking about it, every child in a border town can write and learn knowledge, and this alone is quite terrifying!

No country on this continent dares to implement such a system.

“The official citizens of the border towns are just that, can slaves also take the civil service exam?” Frank Butler asked.

“Of course, slave status can be admitted to the civil service, and the one-year labor time limit can be halved!” And on the citizens’ points system, civil servants enjoy the right to partial reductions. Jon said.

You must know that only a quarter of the 2,000 border towns are indigenous people, two-quarters are slaves, and the remaining quarter are migrated civilians.

In Jon’s border town, although everyone is equal, there is no discrimination based on status.

But it is still divided into three categories of people, the first category is border town citizens, enjoy the treatment of border town citizens!

The second category is civilians, who need to work in border towns, earn a certain number of points while earning wages, and after saving enough points, they can become full citizens.

The average job takes about two years.

The third category is those who were originally slaves, who need to work for a year, and then get rid of slavery and become civilians.

Such a system seems to be a class system, but there are laws and regulations, and no one will discriminate against others, but will only be proud of their identity.

Those who are citizens do not dare to do anything to bully others, because there is a provision in the law that a citizen has the right to deprive him of his citizenship for a crime.

And those who are not citizens, will constantly struggle to become citizens.

“Your Highness, if this plan of yours is implemented. I have a feeling that the border town will change qualitatively from the inside! Frank Butler said solemnly.

Jon smiled, building a new border town is just a hardware change, and educating the residents of a new border town is a software upgrade!
