"System mission activated.”
" God's Chosen One: Build the academy and obtain a mortal body tempering technique!”
" God's Chosen One Two: If you're too lazy to build an academy, your lifespan will be reduced by ten years!”
On this day, Bai Qi had just returned from the fields when he heard the system's voice.
When Bai Qi heard these two options, he couldn't help but flip through the silver pages. He realized that the system was getting more and more frivolous. If it wanted him to build a school, it should have just said so directly. It even gave him two opposing options. He was really speechless.
Now that the seeds of the new hybrid rice had been sown, Baiqi had nothing much to do, so he decided to build an academy in Fu Yi and focus on teaching and nurturing talents.
Especially in this era, there were very few people who could really afford to read. Most of them were illiterate and did not even know how to write their own names.
On the same day, Baiqi called Bai Fu over and asked him to recruit people. They picked a vast piece of land and started building the academy.
Baiqi had made great contributions in the past few years, and he had many homesteads. Most of them were still empty, and now, they could be put to use.
Now, the people who had just finished planting seeds had heard that Lord Wu 'an was going to build an academy, and they all came over to help for free.
Of course, Baiqi did not lack money, and he knew that these commoners had it tough, so he would pay those who came to help. Even if the commoners did not want it, he would force it on them.
There was strength in numbers. In just a few days, the embryonic form of the academy had already appeared.
The knowledgeable Baiqi naturally wouldn't be petty. Since he was going to build it, he naturally wanted to build a large academy.
Therefore, this academy had thousands of acres of land and could accommodate at least ten thousand people.
There were many buildings inside, and a wall was being built outside. Baiqi planned to seal off the entire academy.
According to Baiqi's plan, the academy would have dormitories, a canteen, classrooms, training rooms, and a vast field.
"Lord Wu An is here, Lord Wu An is here!”
On this day, Bai Qi personally came to inspect the construction progress of the academy. The commoners who were building the academy could not help but cheer.
"Lord Wu 'an, how many students do you plan to recruit for such a large academy?”The three old men of Muyi asked curiously when they saw Wu Anjun appear.
The three elders were an official position during the Qin Dynasty. They were usually filled by people of high moral standing in the village. They were in charge of education. They were the so-called filial piety and benevolence families that could be commended or recommended excellent disciples to the county.
In the beginning, everyone thought that the academy Baiqi built was the academy of Wu Anjun's clan.
However, when everyone saw the scale of the school's construction, they were instantly shocked.
The academy had thousands of acres of land, and even a toilet in the academy was bigger than an ordinary person's home. How many students would they have to enroll?
"As long as you want to come to the academy to study, I will accept you.”Bai Qi smiled faintly.
"Ah?" The three old men and the squires around them were slightly stunned when they heard Bai Qi's words. They had not expected Bai Qi to reply in such a manner.
"They even accept children from ordinary people?" The three old men asked carefully.
"Retract!" Baiqi nodded firmly.
"After the academy is built, it will recruit students from the city. As long as they are of suitable age, the academy will accept them. Moreover, they will be taught free of charge, and food and accommodation will be provided free of charge.”Baiqi added.
When the three old men and the others heard Bai Qi's words, they were shocked beyond words.
In this era, those who wanted to study could only go to private schools, and those who could afford private schools were some large families. They only recruited children from their own families and rarely recruited children from other ordinary families.
Moreover, the problem of food and clothing for ordinary people had not been solved, let alone reading and writing.
Third Elder Zhang opened his mouth and really wanted to ask Baiqi,'Do you know how much money is needed to provide free guidance, food, and accommodation?'
However, when he saw Bai Qi's determined expression, he held himself back and did not speak.
"I thank Lord Wu 'an on behalf of the people of Yi!”The three old men solemnly bowed to Bai Qi.
"We thank Lord Wu 'an on behalf of the people of Muyi!”The other squires also bowed to Bai Qi, their attitudes extremely respectful.
At this moment, their respect for Bai Qi came from the bottom of their hearts.
They naturally knew what this meant. It meant that all the children of the common people in the whole city would have books to read, and it would be free.
Lord Wu 'an's actions would definitely benefit all the people of Mu Yi.
At this moment, they felt heartfelt admiration for Wu Anjun's selfless actions.
Bai Qi only walked around the academy construction site once before returning to his own residence.
However, the news that Baiqi's academy was recruiting students from all of the people of Fu Yi had spread throughout the city. Moreover, it was free of charge, and they would provide free food and accommodation.
When the people of Muyi received this news, countless people couldn't help but cry.
They naturally knew what this meant. It meant that their children could also study.
Before this, reading and writing was simply an unreachable fairy tale for children from ordinary families.
But now, Wu Anjun had turned this fairytale into reality, and it was all free.
At this moment, they were extremely grateful to Wu Anjun. Even if they were to die, they would not be able to repay Wu Anjun's great kindness.
There were even quite a number of people from Chuyi who had erected longevity tokens for Lord Wu 'an at home.
The Longevity Token was a memorial tablet used by the ancients to pray for blessings for their benefactors. It was erected for the living, and its purpose was to feel their kindness and pray for them.
In the hearts of the more superstitious commoners, this was the only thing they could do for Lord Wu 'an.
With countless people working day and night, the academy was finally completed after a few days.
"Old Master, the academy has been completed. Can you help me give it a name?”Bai Fu said to Bai Qi.
Let's call it Ares College!" Baiqi said after thinking for a moment.
"Ares College? Good name." Bai Fu said with a smile.
In Bai Fu's opinion, his master was the War God of the State of Qin. It was too appropriate to call it Ares College.
However, from Bai Qi's point of view, he did not give this name to himself. Instead, he gave this name to the soul that had passed away. It could be considered a form of memory for him.
After all, he was the one who occupied his body.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the God's Chosen One mission and obtaining a mortal body refining technique.”After Bai Qi said the name of the academy, the system's voice rang out in his mind.
Bai Qi returned to his study room and started to read the mortal body refining technique in his mind.
After reading it, Bai Qi had a look of disdain on his face.
This cultivation technique was simply not on the same level as his Art of Longevity. No wonder its name was so trashy.
This Mortal Body Refinement Technique was a very ordinary mortal cultivation technique. It was to train one's physical strength and stimulate the potential of the body. There were a total of nine levels.
When cultivated to the extreme, it would only increase the strength, agility, speed, and other aspects of the body by dozens of times.
It was like a martial arts master in a wuxia novel. One person could fight hundreds or even thousands of people.
However, this was already the limit. It would not work if he faced more people.
Perhaps it was because Bai Qi already had a cultivation technique, but this martial arts technique seemed too low level.
However, if this was used by an ordinary person, it would definitely be considered a supreme cultivation technique.
After all, there were no martial arts techniques in this world. They relied more on brute force to fight.
"Although I don't think much of it, it's not bad to let others around me cultivate it and use it to increase the strength of the people around me.”Bai Qi quickly made a decision.
Moreover, with this cultivation technique, he could nurture a large number of martial arts experts for him.
After this incident, Baiqi understood one thing. He had to control his own fate and not place his hopes on others.
Therefore, he had to start cultivating his own forces and completely control his own fate, not always be in a passive position.
And this was the base of his power.
When he returned to the royal court, he would not be someone that anyone could manipulate.
Not even the King of Qin!
