However, having the rare privilege of time travel and possessing current strength, anyone would feel like a chosen one, leading to idealistic thoughts that transcend traditional values. These thoughts, combined with the education received in the past...

It's hard not to feel the urge to take action.

Anyway, that's how Liu Jiuli characterized himself: it was an impulse, a very complicated impulse.

With his self-worth, the development of Rhodes Island, the overlap between reality and the game, and the various experiences after his transmigration, it's impossible to expect him to undergo a complete transformation in such a short time. However, some transformation has certainly begun. As for whether it's good or bad, let time be the judge. History will always give us an answer.

The next day, Kosiché received a new assignment.

"A teacher?!" Talulah's voice nearly blew the roof off.

“That’s right.” Liu Jiuli nodded emphatically. “As things stand, you are the most suitable candidate.”

After the upheaval caused by the Reunion Movement, Chernobog, which originally had a permanent population of 500,000, now has a permanent population of less than 100,000. Most of the migrants in the surrounding area have also left, bringing the total population to just 130,000. This has resolved the internal conflicts of the mobile city caused by the previous overpopulation.

After all, no matter how big a mobile city is, it can never be bigger than a fixed city; gravity, terrain, and materials determine its standard size.

Even in the vast plains of Ursus, the permanent population of large mobile cities is strictly controlled to within one million. Exceeding this standard would not only cause overcrowding within the city, but also pose a major problem for the consumption of daily supplies.

Mobile cities are meant to be mobile, so their supplies, besides those at supply points along the way, must either be self-sufficient or rely on transportation and trade, just like traveling in a motorhome. Naturally, mobile cities, being such a giant motorhome, have many more issues to consider.

From city maintenance to city management, from city trade to city security, all of these require people. The permanent population determines the main consumers and the foundation for the city's operation, while the floating population provides a continuous supply of cheap labor. This is the operating model of mobile cities on the continent of Terra.

To operate a mobile city, you need maintenance personnel, management personnel, and people to operate various facilities. These are highly specialized technical workers. Currently, with only 130,000 of the original 500,000 residents left, the city is much vacant, and these positions are also unfilled, leaving the city in a semi-paralyzed state.

You can't expect a bunch of illiterate people to drive around in advanced warships.

The same principle applies here as well.

"Our literacy rate is too low right now. We need to start with literacy education, with night schools in the evenings and vocational schools during the day. Let's revitalize the entire city of Chernobyl!"

Forget about just studying; the operation and control of an Originium reactor alone can be deadly, and none of the control personnel inside will survive.

Moreover, an illiterate army cannot build a new world; literacy must be eradicated!

"I roughly understand your plan..."

Although the Black Serpent Talulah looked reluctant, she eventually accepted the task: "I will gather all literate people together, but the question is, are they willing to learn?"

"That's easy."

Liu Jiuli chuckled and snapped his fingers: "Just link the exam to the salary!"

Currently, the focus is mainly on practical training, training skilled workers, and completing basic education. In the future, we will definitely include things like the "53" series, Huanggang exercises, and practice problems. We will study as hard as we can, as long as we don't die!

As a person, you really have to keep learning until you die ( ̄︶ ̄).

Section 17: If reasoning doesn't work, then let's use physical methods!

In the conference room, the regicide held the new policy document, looking completely bewildered.

I understand war and killing, but what are night school and literacy classes? What do they have to do with war and killing?

No, why bother with all this useless stuff? What does the new leader actually want to do?

"I hope that all those who are literate will contribute their wisdom! At the same time, find all the literate people in the organization!"

At the internal meeting, Liu Jiuli spoke with great enthusiasm: "Let's all study hard and make progress every day, and strive for the future of the Integration Movement!"

Apart from Talulah, everyone at the meeting looked like an old person, on the subway, or on a cell phone.

Even Patriot himself didn't understand.

After all, the illiteracy rate in the Ursus army is also very high. Gray beasts only need to dedicate their lives to the great emperor. Knowledge and thinking are superfluous and will only affect your loyalty and the efficiency of executing orders.

People who are stupid and incompetent are easier to manage, so the nobles of Ursus have intentionally or unintentionally promoted the deintelligence of their serfs, making them stupid and incompetent, preferably unable to even count, so that they can be easily exploited.

Now Liu Jiuli is demanding that a group of lowly people acquire knowledge and go to learn it, a subversive act comparable to the cannon fire of the Aurora.

Liu Jiuli was prepared for this situation and directly presented the actual facts.

"I have a question: Which country has the strongest military in the world today?"

The patriot, who knew the most about this, spoke first: "Yan Country... Victoria... Colombia... all have... areas of expertise."

Liu Jiuli pressed further: "Where does the Ursus Empire rank?"

"Probably around fourth or fifth," Broken Bones said, raising his hand.

W added, "Fourth is Letania, and fifth is Ursus."

"So, isn't that strange?"

Liu Jiuli spread his hands: "The Ursus Empire has a large population and vast territory. It is a powerful military nation. More than a hundred years ago, it was an amazing military power, either number one or number two. How did it fall to number five now?"

Patriot explained: "The rise of Originium Industry...the Ursus Empire...did not catch up."

"Have you noticed that in every country that has completed the Originium Industrial Revolution, the literacy rate exceeds fifty percent?"

Liu Jiuli took out a report and pointed to the data on it, saying, "Yan Country has 75%, Colombia 71%, Victoria 66%, and Letania 89%. Therefore, Letania has the most sorcerers and is known as the Country of All Laws."

"So the reason is easy to understand. The higher the literacy rate of a country, the faster it develops after completing the Originium Industrial Revolution, and the more casters there are in the military. Due to the instability of the Originium industry, many technologies require the full participation of casters. The number and skill proficiency of casters determine the level of a country's Originium industry."

"So now the question is..."

Liu Jiuli stood up, placed his hands on the table, and looked around the conference room: "What is the literacy rate in the Ursus Empire?"

As expected, no one answered.

Thirty-eight.

Liu Jiuli sighed regretfully: "The literacy rate in the Ursus Empire is thirty-eight percent."

This data...

The leaders present all exchanged glances unconsciously.

—That seems a bit too low…

"That's why Ursus has had such a bumpy road. It needs to import a lot of technology. Although it has high-end talent, there is a serious shortage of mid-level and grassroots talent!"

Liu Jiuli's words were resounding: "Relying on the prestige built up in past battles, the Ursus Empire is still feared, but its potential has been almost fully realized! Today, the Ursus Empire is undoubtedly the most vulnerable of all the powerful nations on the Terra continent, a giant with feet of clay!"

After Liu Jiuli stated his opinion, some people at the meeting thought about it, some were confused, and some disagreed, but at least they all felt that what Liu Jiuli said made sense.

"So what should we do, new boss?" W asked with a curious smile, his long, thin demon tail swaying merrily behind him.

She was now really curious about what kind of earth-shattering things this doctor, who might be the person involved in Theresa's death, could do now.

She sensed something unusual in these plans.

It's not ambition.

But it's bigger than ambition.

It's so big it's unimaginable.

“I’ve said it before…” Liu Jiuli took a sip of water.

"The Reunion Movement can't just push things back to an old world. Anyone can destroy things; anyone with a match can easily turn an entire house to ashes..."

"But what happens after the destruction?" Liu Jiuli posed his most crucial question.

At the same time, this was a problem that the Reunion Movement had never considered before...

"After the destruction..." the Patriot's voice trailed off, "...the reconstruction..."

“That’s right, rebuild!” Liu Jiuli said with a wave of his hand.

"But there's no point in us rebuilding an exact replica of the house!"

This is the key message he wanted to convey to everyone!

"We must learn to build a new world!"

This is the key to him realizing his dream!

"And this new world needs the power of everyone!"

Liu Jiuli's voice was highly persuasive, captivating everyone present.

They seemed to see a light in the eyes of this evil spirit...

"We need knowledge, culture, ability, and faith; only then can we have strength!"

"This power is enough to overthrow that decaying ruin of prosperity and to build a new sky city that can satisfy everyone!"

"This is not the power of one person, but the power of everyone; it is the accumulation and release of everyone's strength!"

"So we must start learning, starting with myself, starting with everyone here, learning! Learning! Learning!"

"Only by learning knowledge and understanding the world can one know..."

Liu Jiuli paused, looked at the focused gazes of the crowd, and slowly exhaled: "You know what we should do now..."

So, it's already started?

Everyone involuntarily swallowed.

Rebuild a sky city that can satisfy everyone...

“This is a bit…” W’s smile froze a little, “...too big…”

"Of course, empty slogans are useless."

Liu Jiuli took a sip of water to moisten his throat: "Therefore, I have decided to implement a cadre assessment system and an outstanding employee selection system."

"As long as you study well and do well on exams, you can enjoy various extra benefits and live a better life. I have written the relevant content in the document. Everyone, please take a look and give me your opinions."

Of course, opinions can be raised, but whether they are approved or not is up to Liu Jiuli. Moreover, exams are mandatory, including monthly exams, midterm exams, and final exams. People work in the morning and study in the evening, and various selections are based on merit.

In short, roll them all up, roll them all up for me!

You're unwilling to work for a boss and compete in the cutthroat world, but surely you'd be willing to compete for your own future and survival?

If you don't want to be eliminated, people will die.

This is the current state of the Reunion Movement.

There is no room for negotiation.

In addition, Liu Jiuli listed various talents that are currently in urgent need. These positions can enjoy extra allowances, such as scarce white bread and vodka, the "water of life" that Ursus people love. Other items such as canned food, meat, and daily necessities are also within the scope of the benefits.

These benefits are all kept in special labor shops and can only be purchased with tickets, so you either have to become a model worker or a top student. As for money...

I'm sorry, but money alone won't buy you anything here. Only the value created by your labor will be recognized. This is the only way at this stage; otherwise, you won't get anything.
