I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 149 Studying is so great~ Hehehehehe

Tall and beautiful buildings, meticulously divided districts, a wealthy and powerful nation, numerous dignified rulers, the deeds of loyal heroes, their precepts...

Although the details differ, these kinds of things sound so similar!

"Vast and boundless, with towering peaks and deep, mysterious caves. The land of China is vast and expansive, with mountains and rivers that stretch to the horizon, and towering peaks and deep caves that defy measurement."

The territory is vast and magnificent!

The saintess felt that everything seemed to match up!

"Okay, I'm done talking."

Li Mosi put down his pen and looked up at his two disciples.

Zi'an stared blankly at him.

Ziyi stared at the textbook in front of him, his eyes wide and mouth agape.

Silence fell over the chieftain's cave for a moment, even the wolf cubs were tired from playing and were dozing off by the campfire.

"Eek!"

Seeing that the others had stopped talking, the wolf cub that had opened its eyes first stood up again.

They've had plenty of rest and are just waiting to play!

However, the two disciples remained silent, simply turning their heads to stare blankly at the wolf cub.

"Eek~"

This startled it and made it retreat.

"Is this your country? Or is this your divine kingdom?"

Hearing Hagi Saint's call, Li Moss turned his head to look.

Her face was full of seriousness and doubt.

"It is not a divine kingdom."

Li Mosi shook her head.

"This is my country. And it looks just like it did four thousand years ago."

After all, it mentions "the traces of Yu in the nine provinces, and the unification of the hundred prefectures by Qin".

It's true that things can be that much worse going forward.

"Four...thousand years?"

The saint stared wide-eyed, recalling the papal scriptures.

No!

The Vatican doesn't have records from that far back!

She only remembered the Pope mentioning the "Daylight Catastrophe" that occurred exactly three thousand years ago.

That natural disaster destroyed the Vatican's past books!

All that has been passed down are the divine arts and the deeds of those saints.

What happened four thousand years ago?

Realizing that something was wrong with Hagi Saint's expression, Li Moss shook her head.

"It's about Yu the Great controlling the floods."

If he had traveled back in time a few decades, he might have known something.

But he really can't answer that right now.

Although he had an impression of the historical analysis in his mind, he couldn't recall it for the time being.

Are you taking advantage of me because I can't understand?

Haki Saint squinted.

That craftsman, he just pronounced those four words in some kind of Chinese!

She couldn't understand at all!

"My late teacher."

Zi Yi interrupted their conversation.

He was still staring blankly at Li Mosi.

"Only a country this powerful can be considered a kingdom?"

He had heard his father talk about the kingdom's power since he was a child.

The road that would take several winters to traverse, and the number of people there was hundreds of times greater than that of the tribe...

But this one from my master is clearly more powerful than any kingdom he's ever heard of!

Li Mosi recalled the territories during the Qin and Han dynasties.

He nodded.

"Um."

The saint's eyes widened even more.

You even started moaning?

"Huh~~~?"

Zi'an drew out a long note in disbelief.

"Master, is such a large territory necessary to live a good life?"

Li Mosi blinked.

He didn't understand Zian's line of thinking for a moment.

However, he can also provide an answer to this question.

"Um."

He doesn't even need to spout any grand principles.

"If your tribe has only a hundred people, and a large country sends ten thousand soldiers, even if you are very strong, it will be difficult for you not to be wiped out."

"The larger the nation, the more arable land it can have, the more people it can have, and the more warriors it can train, thus becoming stronger. Only by becoming strong can it avoid being destroyed."

Zi'an nodded seriously.

"I understand, Master."

Zi Yi nodded seriously.

"Thank you, Master. I understand now."

"That's good."

Li Mosi glanced at the [Leshan Water] map again.

"Get ready, let's go to sleep!"

The three of them overlooked Hagi Saint's final question.

But Li Mosi wouldn't forget to wake her up.

"Wake up, time to get up and work!"

Today was another busy day.

The goblins continued carrying soil from the foot of the mountain, and the sound of chanting spelling could be heard from time to time in the procession.

The prisoners cleared the fields of grass and then continued to ram the earth to build houses.

Because Li Mosi and Zi Yi further simplified the process, allowing the two rows of earthen houses to share a long wall back to back, efficiency was improved once again.

More than fifty prisoners built 65 mud houses in one day!

That's five times more than yesterday!

Three long earthen houses stood in neat rows at the entrance to the road down the mountain, looking like a small pass had been built.

Who can move in?

The goblins grew excited.

Yesterday they thought this position was the same as being on guard duty, but once there were a lot of them, they became indifferent.

Now I'm even less inclined to squeeze into a big cave with so many people.

At dinner time, Zi Yi ordered the goblins who were in charge of cooking to carry the pots to the south side of the warehouse, where the goblins and prisoners naturally gathered.

Zi Yi picked up the iron spear and used it as a pointer to point to the pinyin chart posted outside the warehouse.

"As I said last night, I wanted to see who could read it fluently. Those who could read it fluently would get a reward!"

The goblins suddenly fell silent.

Most goblins had their heads down, while a few turned their heads left and right to look around.

"I'll do it!"

A javelin was raised, and the slightly chubby Greedy Meat stepped out.

It walked up to Ziyi and gave her a fawning smile.

"Chief, may I ask what the reward is this time?"

Zi Yi couldn't help but laugh.

How could he not know what a glutton like?

"If you can read it smoothly by the first person, I'll send you a piece of salted meat or cheese that's about the thickness of a finger and the size of your palm every day. You can choose whichever you prefer."

My teacher was absolutely right!

When he discussed the reward with his former teacher, he only thought of houses, weapons, and clothes.

If his teacher hadn't reminded him, he would have completely forgotten about the food.

After all, these guys get enough to eat every day, so why would they need to change their food?

He was always the chief's child, and the tribe never went hungry as long as there was food. Naturally, once he was full, he didn't want to eat anymore.

But how long have the goblins enjoyed their prosperous days?

Naturally, there is a desire for it.

Zi Yi vaguely felt that his late teacher meant more than just that.

Otherwise, there would be no need to change the reward to "give out more food every day".

But Ziyi is busy right now and doesn't have time to think about it too much.

Upon hearing his words, the goblins, who had been looking down, raised their heads.

"Yay!"

The meat-loving crowd cheered.

"Then I'll begin now. Ah—ah? Ah. Ah!"

……

I don't know if it was the temptation of the food that was too great, but Greedy Meat actually finished reciting the initials and finals tables!

Ziyi immediately presented a memorial to his late teacher.

Li Moss walked into the warehouse in front of all the goblins and cut out a slice of cheese as requested by Greedy Meat.

The slave-catching teams stored hard cheese, which was very dense.

This piece alone weighs nearly a pound!

As soon as Li Mosi stepped out of the warehouse, the goblins around her fixed their eyes on the pale yellow cheese!

He handed the cheese to Ziyi, and the goblins' eyes immediately focused on Ziyi's hand.

The meat in front of Zi Yi smelled the rich aroma of milk!

"Here you go, this is your reward, you get one every day! Stand next to me!"

As Zi Yi handed the cheese to it, Greedy Meat felt a tangy, oily aroma fill its nose.

Along with this comes a salty aroma due to the high salt content, as well as a subtle roasted acorn scent.

"Gurgle."

It accepted the cheese with a mixture of nervousness and solemnity.

"Thank you, Chief!"

Greedy Meat quickly stuffed the cheese into his pocket and stood aside as Zi Yi instructed.

"Studying is so great, hehehehe~"
