Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

A few weeks later, the school was completely built.

"Truly a creation of the Immortal Lord, a masterpiece of nature!" Jia Tun, the academy's chief, gazed at the school from afar, stroking his beard as he exclaimed in admiration.

The walls are made entirely of quartz blocks, sourced from master stonemasons and obtained through the exchange of emeralds.

Each floor is four meters high, and there are four floors in total. Wooden fences are placed along the passageway.

The school is built entirely according to modern high school standards.

The only difference is that there is a water elevator next to each floor.

Made of soul sand, lava, bulletin board, and glass.

Soul Sand, when placed underwater, generates upward-pointing columns of bubbles, which propel the sand above the water column.

Lava, the opposite of soul sand, produces downward columns of water.

By utilizing the properties of these two blocks, a water elevator can be constructed.

The notice board can prevent water from flowing out.

After it was built, Bai Li discovered that only he could use it.

You can't just go upstairs and get soaked.

So they built a staircase.

Jia Tun arrived very early; as soon as the rooster crowed, he got up and went to the school.

However, to his surprise, there were people who arrived even earlier than him, and in large numbers.

"Hello, sir!"

"Hello, sir!"

The children, all with panda eyes and excited expressions, had been waiting at the door for a long time. Although they didn't say anything, the excitement in their eyes was impossible to hide.

Judging from this, he must have not slept all night!

Indeed, in previous years, even getting food was a problem, let alone going to school.

Jia Tun asked in confusion, "Since you're here, why don't you go inside?"

"Father said I can only go in when the teacher arrives," a child stammered.

"That's what Mother said too."

Jia Tun said, "Let's all go inside first."

The classroom he was in charge of was located on the outermost side of the first floor.

Each room features suspended fluorite as a light source, and the tables and chairs are crafted by a carpenter.

A stack of books was piled up next to the podium.

The Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, the Thousand Character Classic, and the Expanded Collection of Wise Sayings.

These are all primers for children.

As for the *Di Zi Gui* (Standards for Being a Good Student and Child), Bai Li asked Miao Zhiming, who said there was no such book.

It should be a product of the Qing Dynasty.

He had no choice but to give up.

You will need to bring your own ink, brush, and paper.

But this is not a big burden for the villagers of Licheng, or even the villagers of the surrounding villages.

On the contrary, this expense is far greater for them than the cost of their child's education.

Furthermore, this is the decree of the Celestial Lord; every child must study.

Therefore, even though they were reluctant to spend the money, some villagers only hesitated slightly before sending it over.

As soon as they entered Jiatun, the children couldn't contain themselves and rushed into the classroom.

Seeing this, Jia Tun frowned slightly, then relaxed after a moment.

Without learning etiquette, one cannot stand upright.

excusable.

I just don't know if these kids will be able to learn it.

However, there are still two people who are different.

Thinking this, Jia Tun glanced almost imperceptibly at the doorway.

The two stood quietly at the doorway, waiting for the children to squeeze in, remaining until the very end.

Of the two, Jia Tun was very familiar with one of them, or rather, everyone in Licheng was familiar with him; he was Bai Xianjun's attendant.

Liu Er.

I never expected it! It was me.

Liu Er, who serves Bai Xianjun, will surely attain enlightenment and become a god in the future, and I, as his mentor, will at least leave a mark in the history books!

Thinking of this, a hint of excitement flashed across Jia Tun's calm face.

As for the other one, she was a girl, though I had never seen her.

But she was wearing a bunch of pink flowers in her hair.

It's hard to accept that both boys and girls can attend school, but that's what Bai Xianjun said.

Jia Tun will treat everyone equally.

The seats were almost full, except for one very strange empty seat.

Located in the last row, the chairs and tables are all enlarged versions.

Perhaps it was placed in the wrong place?

Seeing that there was still some time, Jia Tun simply led the children in morning reading.

He had the children pick up the Hundred Family Surnames.

Its content is relatively simple, mainly focusing on recognizing characters.

Before long, the sound of students reading aloud filled the classroom.

Boom!

A slight tremor came from the ground.

Jiatun gestured for the children to stop.

Is this... an earthworm stirring up?

As luck would have it, the reading stopped, and then a crisp sound was heard outside the door, like the sound of a piece of iron being struck.

The earth dragon stopped.

There were light footsteps at the door, followed by a knock.

Jia Tun frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure.

How can someone only arrive at this hour? They don't even cherish the opportunity to study; they'll never amount to anything!

"Come in," Jia Tun said, shaking his head.

"OK."

Why does that voice sound so familiar?

No, it's Lord Bai!

Jia Tun jumped to his feet, staring at the newcomer in disbelief: "Ah, Young Master Bai!"

"Good morning, Mr. Jia. I'm here to take Tieshan to school," Bai Li said, calling out to the back.

"Hurry up and come here, Tieshan. Never mind, you'd better slow down and keep it quiet!"

After Tieshan bent down and entered the door, Bai Li said.

"Mr. Jia, I'm leaving my Tieshan in your care," Bai Li added.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!" Jia Tun waved his hand repeatedly and said.

No wonder, that position was reserved for the Divine General.

Good heavens, I was the one who enlightened the Iron Mountain God General.

Such a good thing exists in the world!

Jia Tun was overjoyed.

After dropping Tieshan off at school, Bai Li slowly walked out of the school.

He smiled as he heard the familiar sound of morning reading.

Food is the most important thing for people. Now that we have no shortage of food, we can focus on two things: medical care and education. These two are fundamental.

Medical treatment is supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine, with milk as the main source of nutrition; no illness is left untreated.

So far, at least, there hasn't been a single time the milk has gone wrong.

As for education, a person's values ​​and character can be shaped by human effort.

With the help of Zhiming, Wei Shi, Song Yingxing and others.

There is a manifest hell.

"The school is built, but we haven't explored the area yet. We should go to Hell to look for Ender Pearls from the little black monsters. We should take a look at Chengcheng before it's exposed," Bai Li muttered.

According to Zhiming, it's not the right time for Chengcheng to be incorporated into the domain yet; a suitable opportunity is needed.

"However, that's not something I should be thinking about," Bai Li shrugged indifferently.

He's just an ordinary person, he doesn't have that kind of brain, why bother thinking of an opportunity?

The right thing to do is to find more people to work for him.

He knew the story of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

Go to hell and find Little Black!

……

In a secluded farmhouse, brightly lit, Bai Shui Wang Er and Zheng Yanfu were plotting their next move.

Zhong Guangdao stood quietly to the side, listening.

"Our troops are ready," Wang Er of Baishui said in a deep voice, "but we have a problem now: we need to decide which county to attack."

Zheng Yanfu unfolded a rough map, pointed to the locations of several counties on it, and after pondering for a long time, said, "Brother Wang, considering the number of garrison troops, geographical location, and the food supplies in the cities, these are the most suitable."

Bai Shui Wang Er stared at the map, his brows furrowed: "Hmm, they all seem alright, but we can't act rashly. We need to determine the most suitable one."

"Brother Zhong, what do you think?"

The two turned their gazes toward Zhong Guangdao.

Of the three, only he had some knowledge and was the current strategist.

"Brother Zhong, you've been like this ever since we left Chengcheng, restless and unsettled. Is something on your mind?" Zheng Yanfu asked.

"It's nothing, he's probably just feeling a bit out of place." Zhong Guangdao glanced at Wang Er and said casually, "Let me see."

He stared at the map, his gaze finally settling on the location of Yijun County: "How about Yijun County? Although it's not the best, its geographical location is advantageous to us, and the city has ample food supplies. The magistrate in the city is also someone like Zhang Yaocai. If we can capture it, it will greatly benefit morale and subsequent operations."

"Moreover, after capturing this county, we can continue north and enter Luochuan County."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shui Wang Er lightly tapped his fist on the table, pondering the suggestion: "Yijun County... Good! That's it. But how should we attack it? A direct assault would likely result in heavy losses."

Zhong Guangdao smiled slightly, seemingly prepared: "We can first send men infiltrate the city to scout out the situation. At the same time, we can launch a surprise attack under the cover of night. As long as we can quickly control the city gates, we can greatly reduce casualties by coordinating from within and without."

"Alright! Brother Zhong, let's do as you say and attack Yiju County immediately." Wang Er made up his mind.

After discussing their next steps, the three relaxed.

Zheng Yanfu remembered something and said with a smile, "By the way, speaking of Chengcheng, I heard that after we left, that good-for-nothing Wu Zhen had a change of heart and started suppressing bandits every day. Luckily we left early."

It wasn't that Wu Zhen had a change of heart, it was clearly...

Zhong Guangdao looked up, hesitated, and glanced at Wang Er.

Wang Er was looking at him with a half-smile.

Helpless, Zhong Guangdao could only swallow the words that were about to come out.

Hey…
