The Lord Of Blood Hill

Chapter 640: It Is Time to Hit Hard

Melissa does not understand Henwell's decision to send the child to school either.But Henwell is very firm on this matter. His child must understand how Peace Haven operates.

Through most of the classmates he meets while studying, Pabos must understand their families, and from that understand how the different classes of Peace Haven exist.

Henwell wants Pabos to have a complete set of life values. If Pabos grows up in Blood Hill Manor, studies under private tutors, and is served by maids and servants every day, then Pabos will naturally assume that he is Peace Haven's heir.

After that, Pabos's growth will also move in that direction.

Henwell will be the leader for quite a long time. To prevent his son from developing the resentment of a crown prince who must wait for decades, Henwell wants to avoid shaping that kind of outlook in Pabos as much as possible.

Also, Pabos is a smart child. Over these ten years, he can get to know many classmates and friends.

These will become his political resources in the future. They will become his future team.

After ten years of study, Henwell will also have him spend several years in the army, then several years in a government office.

Only when Pabos turns thirty can he become a qualified assistant to Henwell.

Compared with Melissa's reluctance, Pabos himself is actually looking forward to his school life.

On the other side, Henwell also wants to set an example, so that officials at every level of Peace Haven send their own children into public school.

They should not leave them at home for a noble-style education.

The path Peace Haven walks is one of unity gathered from the masses, not the path of individual elites.

Because of this, Henwell can send his own child to public school, and also reduce his own influence on Peace Haven as much as possible.

Of course, Henwell still cares greatly about his child's safety.

Pabos will have a reasonable fake identity. Chick will personally handle this matter.

Also, several Lord Iron Guards and agents from the Military Intelligence Office will enter the school under different identities and secretly protect his son.

Henwell has also considered his son's cultivation.

The schools already have physical education and a complete method for tempering the body.

Considering that each student comes from a different background, every school has a training ground, allowing the children to study and practice their family martial skills.

Peace Haven's physical education classes will not be taken over by other courses.

Their proportion is quite high, and they count as a major subject.

During the five years of primary school, students basically temper their bodies and only learn some self-defense techniques.

After secondary school begins, they start practicing combat skills.

At this time, people from the martial departments will station themselves in the schools and pick out seedlings they favor.

In the third year of secondary school, they can recruit the students they have chosen.

Will there be fights in schools like this?

Of course there will.

After all, they are hot-blooded youths. Fights are common.

But they absolutely cannot use weapons, go too far, or gang up on someone.

Will there be bullying?

There are bad seeds everywhere, regardless of age or world.

And here, there is no law that protects children. If someone causes a death, they will still be hanged.

If bullying is reported, the bully will be hung up and whipped. No parent will go file a complaint over it.

This system is not perfect. It can even be said to have many flaws.

But for the current Peace Haven, it is already the best method.

Students who come out of this system will have a sense of belonging to Peace Haven, collective honor, cooperative ability, a strong body, and knowledge.

This will greatly accelerate Peace Haven's development process and also make Peace Haven more united and powerful.

As for the weak students under this system and their miserable experiences, Henwell can only say sorry.

This is the current of the age. If someone must be blamed, blame Henwell.

While Henwell seizes the final chance to spend a long period with his child and teach Pabos properly, trouble comes to him.

At the year-end summary, when each department fights for next year's budget, the arguments become extremely loud.

Every department wants more funding and greater support in the new year.

First is the Industrial Office. As head of the Industrial Office, Eulen begins describing the current difficulties of the industrial departments.

"Since Lumir New Zone was completed the year before last, it has begun setting up some industries and competing with us."

"Last year, the output value of Lumir New Zone increased greatly. Our exported goods fell by twenty percent in Lumir."

"Trade in Ogiro and Ika also fell by nearly ten percent."

"Although these are all low-profit livelihood products, this trend deserves our vigilance."

"Lumir has vast land and many people. Its potential is much greater than ours."

"To prevent it from becoming our greatest competitor, we now have preparations."

Victor, the chief consul, asks, "Then what do you mean, Director Eulen?"

"We need to increase investment in industry, strengthen support, expand production scale, and crush them with price."

Victor shakes his head. "Meaningless. Lumir is carrying out a national consciousness awakening plan."

"They will digest those New Zone products internally. You cannot crush them."

"Also, the Military Intelligence Office has already sent back intelligence."

"Lumir is about to add tariffs on us. They want to restrain our product dumping."

"As for the increased industrial investment and support you mentioned, that is even more impossible."

"Peace Haven's finances only began improving this year."

"Next year's budget will not give you more. Instead, it will be reduced to a certain degree."

Eulen frowns. "This will greatly harm the enthusiasm of engineers and industrial workers."

Victor says coldly, "Then let them leave. Peace Haven will not keep them."

"Half the shares in Peace Haven's factories are held by Peace Haven's government."

"The remaining shares belong to everyone from top to bottom."

"They refuse to strive forward themselves. They do not think of taking out their own funds to increase investment. They do not think of improving their processes."

"Every day, they only think of sucking Peace Haven's blood so they can receive more dividends. That is going too far."

"They can leave whenever they want. They cannot take their shares with them, and they cannot turn them into cash."

"Leaving the factory means they automatically give up their shares."

"If they want to sell Peace Haven's secrets, or take away some core technology, then the Military Intelligence Office will handle them."

While Eulen is stunned, Victor throws out another heavy piece of news.

"Starting next year, Peace Haven will begin a last-place elimination system."

"The funds allocated to each department will be divided into three levels: large, medium, and small."

"Those that develop the best will receive the largest funds. Those that make progress will receive medium fiscal funding. Those whose profits do not fall will receive the smallest fiscal funding."

"As for the department or industry ranked last, it will not receive the slightest funding."

"Also, with Peace Haven's government as the largest shareholder, once profits decline, we will directly take the same dividends as the previous year."

"As for how much remains, the factories will divide it internally."

"If it is not enough, then their shares will be deducted to make up the difference."

"If an industry loses money, everyone will be fired."

"Peace Haven gave them a chance to live as human beings, not to lie on Peace Haven and suck its blood."
