I Become a Landlady in the Game World

"What can this school in Hope Village teach?" Theodore's tone carried a hint of disdain.

Morrison didn't mind; after all, how could a high and mighty noble understand the difficulty of rising from the lower ranks?

He wasn't afraid of this matter being discovered since he brought his child along with Theodore.

Since he couldn't do business in Lovisa Village, he could go elsewhere.

The goods from Hope Village were indeed in high demand.

After seeing the curriculum taught by the school in Hope Village, he had firmly decided to let his child study there.

Thinking of this, Morrison spoke objectively, "Blacksmith, tailor, carpenter, ore appraisal, farming, breeding, body skills... plus some mathematics and literacy and the like, they teach quite a wide range of subjects."

Upon hearing this, Theodore paused, unfamiliar with what mathematics and literacy were, but he knew about the rest.

Could all these be learned at a school?

But Hope Village did just that. If one started learning from a young age and had talent, it certainly made it easier to develop, and they might even become a professional earlier.

But why would Hope Village do this?

These noble offspring clearly understood where their status came from—knowledge and professionals were important tools for them to control the residents.

After all, without knowledge or skills, ordinary residents wouldn't have a channel for upward mobility. Even if there were occasional exceptions, they would end up as part of the nobility's retinue.

But Hope Village was doing this, letting these residents start learning from a young age. The more they learned, the stronger they would become. Once they were strong, it wouldn't be easy for the nobles to control them.

Hope Village—it was shaking the very foundation of their rule!

Subconsciously, Theodore looked towards Marquis Boyer.

Marquis Boyer was indeed a bit stunned.

He was genuinely surprised.

To some extent, Hope Village's actions were breaking the ingrained rules of the Human Clan Kingdom, or rather, the established rules of the territory.

Normal territories wouldn't do such a thing.

At that moment, Marquis Boyer came to realize something.

The Lord of Hope Village began to take shape in his mind, and he understood that Hope Village couldn't be swayed from the start.

"Father, the approach of Hope Village does have its merits," Theodore said, quickly coming to his senses after the shock.

Although ordinary residents' children shouldn't be educated, the children of his subordinates could be. This would certainly make them more dedicated, thereby winning people's hearts.

Look, Morrison had gone to the lengths of sending his child to Hope Village.

More importantly, having talent under one's control from a young age was even better.

Listening to Theodore's words, Marquis Boyer understood his plan.

But still, it wouldn't work.

Lovisa City couldn't withstand such turmoil.

Most importantly, having the corresponding knowledge and ability without the corresponding rewards was the most frustrating thing.

Hope Village had built a school, imparting knowledge and skills, and at the same time, it provided an avenue for upward mobility. Ordinary people could become staff of the territory through examinations, and professionals could become soldiers through their contributions to the territory.

But... Lovisa City wouldn't work.

Learning the first step without the second step was bound to cause trouble.

And given the scale of Lovisa City, allowing the lower ranks to rise was definitely a force that couldn't be ignored.

If it could be controlled, naturally, that would be good, but who could be certain that this power could be well-managed and not used by enemies?

This was a crucial time, and he wouldn't create trouble for himself.

"Let's discuss this later!" Marquis Boyer said calmly.

And his attitude said it all.

Theodore fell silent.

Morrison watched all this, knowing what was in their hearts.

Indeed! Not all territories were willing to offer the lower-ranked residents something... like hope, as Hope Village did.

"Let's go! Let's have a look inside," continued Marquis Boyer, already leading Carl inside the school for a tour.

Theodore remained in place, not understanding why his father refused.

"Lord Theodore, I'm going to get the children settled," said Morrison frankly.

Since they were going to study here, they naturally had to first become residents of Hope Village. He planned on buying them a house to quickly furnish and move into.

"Go ahead!" said Theodore.
