"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then there is peace, and then there is peace, and then there is ,......"

In a low-slung school renovated from a ruined temple in the countryside, more than a dozen boys of different ages are shaking their heads and reciting ancient texts.

Fang Yue was wearing a robe, sitting in front of the table, his eyes wandering around the small school hall to see if anyone dared to be lazy.

Two days after returning from the county seat, the village school has reopened.

As the only talent in the village, he is also a teacher in the village school.

Originally, he was a teacher in the village, but his family was poor and he ate with a mixed mouth.

Now he doesn't have to live on the meager income of the tutor, but there is no new tutor in the village for the time being, so Fang Yue decided to teach for a while so as not to delay the children's studies.

Anyway, there are only a dozen children enrolled in a village school, and the teaching task is not heavy.

"Take out the notebooks I arranged and copied yesterday and put them on the table, and I will check them one by one."

Fang Yue took the ring ruler and looked around table by table.

When you meet someone who is satisfied with the handwriting, you will nod and smile as encouragement. If there is a mistake, point it out on the spot and correct the mistake.

As for those who have not completed their coursework, the ring ruler in their hands is not an ornament.

"Now you read your own books, and I'll go out. Fang Baochen, you come to help me watch, if there is any unconscious, wait for me to come back and tell me. ”

"Yes, sir."

Fang Baochen, who was entrusted by Fang Yue with the "important task", was a half-grown child of about ten years old, and he seemed relatively calm among the children.

Fang Yue walked out of the school, and next to it was a new village temple dedicated to the gods.

However, the so-called new village temple is also relative to the broken temple that was transformed into a village school, in fact, it has been established for more than ten years, when Fang Yue was very young.

In his dreams, he had lived in this village for more than twenty years, and now he was in this world.

There is always a faint sense of isolation.

Walking to the front of the village temple, it was empty, and on non-festivals and special days, it was not lively here.

Fang Yue didn't walk in, the clay and wood carved statues were nothing to look at.

If there is really a god, there should be no demons and ghosts in the county, and there should be no treachery in this world.

And if there is a God, God is powerless or blind to it.

So what's the use of worshipping God? Why worship God?

Pray to God, and ask for yourself.

Fang Yue looked back at the village school, he was thinking about whether to spread scientific knowledge in this world.

Or, to be more precise, does scientific knowledge help this demon-infested world?

"One more road, one more hope."

Fang Yue made up his mind in his heart that spreading knowledge and educating sentient beings also had great merit.

In the past two days, he has been a teacher step by step, teaching more than a dozen children ancient Chinese, and he can gain 2 merit points every day.

Although it is not much, it is endless, and the water flows for a long time.

And if you spread knowledge that is not yet available in this world, you should have more merit points.

However, this should be combined with specific practice, Fang Yue wants to set up some small workshops in the village to produce some small items that have not yet appeared in this world.

In the past two days, he has also inspected the geographical location of the village.

Fangqiao Village is close to the sea, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and faces the sea on one side.

Yutou Town, where Fangqiao Village is located, is a fishhead-shaped peninsula, which is a small part of the land that extends into the sea in Ping'an County.

Fangqiao Village is located in the front part of the peninsula of Yutou Town, which is nearly a day's journey from the county seat by land, and belongs to a very remote small fishing village.

If the people in the county government didn't collect taxes, no one would want to travel so far to come here.

So the entire Fangqiao Village, including the entire Yutou Town, has a high degree of clan autonomy.

Even some cases, as long as they are not major cases where human lives are at stake, are basically resolved within the clan.

And if you look at it from the sea, Fangqiao Village is not so remote.

Fang Yue asked the old fishermen in the village that they could reach Outing County on the other side of the river by taking a fishing boat from the beach at the head of the village.

If you walk another night, both day and night, a whole day, you can reach White Spring Harbor.

Baiquan Port is a port under Baiquan Province, and it is also one of the largest ports in the whole Yunzhou.

It can be said that through Baiquan Port, the goods can be quickly transported to various prefectures and counties in Yunzhou, and even to the other 26 states in the country.

Therefore, Fangqiao Village is a very suitable place for Fang Yue to develop a small workshop.

The location is remote, which can isolate the prying eyes of a large number of people, and some secrets and technologies are not so easy to leak.

There is also convenient and low-cost sea freight, which can easily transport goods out and import raw materials.

Another important point is that the villagers of Fangqiao Village are mainly surnamed Fang, and they are all related to each other and survive in the form of clans.

Fang Yue has the identity of a showman, and within the Fang clan, he has a lot of right to speak, not to mention that he still has his own force as a guarantee.

By taking the Fang clan of Fangqiao Village as the foundation, and then using the in-laws of the Fang clan and several nearby villages, people from other villages were gathered, and then the entire Yutou Town was brought under control.

It can be said that to build a small workshop here, Fang Yue has both a favorable location and a harmonious person.

However, there is still a lack of time.

The whole environment is a little wrong, the county is still entrenched by demons, and I don't know what will happen in the future.

Tian Yangzi Lao Dao, who was sent by the imperial court, and the female apprentice beside him, dared to cast a curse in the wine in full view of everyone, in a vain attempt to turn Fang Yue into her puppet.

Tian Yangzi obviously knew what his apprentice was doing, but he indulged her.

This kind of behavior is basically two demon ways.

Fang Yue lost confidence in them, and was also a little disappointed in the imperial court, worshipping this kind of demon way of killing others at will, the imperial court was not as fair and strict as he imagined.

And Fang Yue was also a little skeptical about whether Tian Yangzi would deal with the demons entrenched in the county, or whether he could deal with them.

Tian Yangzi said that those demons and ghosts in the county town were just "mountain spirits and wild monsters", as if he could catch them with his hands.

But Fang Yue felt that he had an element of bragging, and after a short contact at the banquet, Fang Yue could see that this old Taoist of Tianyangzi was a Taoist who was vain and liked to be praised by others.

Although he has the ability, the two strange things that Fang Yue personally experienced, the female ghost in red and the demon envoy of bliss, are also strange and inexplicable.

In addition to these, there is also an even closer threat, that is, the East China Sea pirates that appeared in the nightmare.

At present, the demons and ghosts are not running around and harming people on a large scale, but if the Haikou enters the city, not only the county seat, but also their surrounding villages and towns may also be harmed.

When Fang Yue was in the county seat before, he had already reported the news of the possible attack of the East China Sea Haikou to Hu Zhi County.

But whether Hu Zhixian listened to it, how much attention it paid to it, and how many arrangements he could make to take precautions, Fang Yue couldn't predict.

In the affairs of the county seat, Fang Yue couldn't get involved, and there were two demons in Tian Yangzi's master and apprentice, and he didn't dare to get involved for the time being.

At present, he still takes care of the affairs of Fangqiao Village, although he feels that the villagers of Fangqiao Village live in poverty and do not have much money left at home, so Haikou will not go so far to come to this remote corner to plunder.

However, it is still impossible to avoid precautions.

Fang Yue felt that it was not enough to rely on himself, and he needed to mobilize the young and middle-aged people of the entire village.

It's just that it is unrealistic to let the villagers squeeze out time to participate in the training camp from their busy livelihoods, and with Fang Yue's current prestige in the village, it is simply impossible to do it.

Fang Yue could only inform the villagers first now, he had heard from the county that there were Haikou who might invade the surrounding villages and towns, so that everyone could be prepared.

"Judging from the content of the nightmare, the invasion of the East China Sea pirates is just around the next step. At this time, it is too late to convene the villagers for training, and they need to think of another idea. ”

Fang Yue thought of black powder, there is gunpowder in the government, it is said that it was invented by the Taoist when he was refining pills, but it is not very powerful, and it is only used to make some fireworks and firecrackers.

Fang Yue wanted to get the black powder drum out, this thing belonged to the improved gunpowder formula, and the power was more than one level.

With black powder, if you are unprepared, you can also blow up the pirates in a daze, and with the manpower, as long as there are not many pirates who come to Yutou Town, discipline them and never come back.
