Generally speaking, even if they were to live in the modern world, their focus would be primarily on the history, culture, and achievements of that particular world. At most, they might pay a little more attention to the dazzling array of weapons. How many of them would actually focus their attention on their children's studies?
Of course, it's also possible that a top-tier power has already acquired this item but is keeping it hidden, which is to be expected.
Moreover, considering the identities of Pang Degong and his family, the powerful families of Jingzhou held a position in the Han Dynasty that was neither high nor low, so it was normal that they were unfamiliar with them.
Seeing the group of old scholars looking dejected, Hu Yong said, "Next is the training ground, where we will teach the immigrants martial arts and improve their physical fitness."
Upon hearing this, the old scholars nodded repeatedly. They had just made a huge fool of themselves, and were too embarrassed to apologize directly; it was truly awkward.
"Here, the immigrants get up at dawn (5-7 AM), start running in formation, then wash up, eat breakfast, and rest. At 7-9 AM, they are taught to read. This continues until noon, when the morning session ends. Afterwards, they line up to go to the canteen for lunch. Then..."
"In addition, these three months can help them get rid of their old bad habits, such as drinking unboiled water, littering, and so on..."
"Excellent! In daily life, it's a great idea to subtly change people's habits and cultivate better lifestyles over three months," Huang Chengyan praised directly.
Hearing this, Lin Yang nodded. Of course, Lin Yang would never tell them the whole truth.
These are all just surface-level details. The real purpose is to cultivate a habit of obedience among these people! That's the truth—dark, but also very real. Otherwise, would anyone really think Lin Yang's place is a charitable institution?
Soon, they arrived at the training ground. This training ground was vast and imposing, covering several square kilometers in size. It was covered with wild grass and pebbles, exuding a wild and rugged atmosphere! All this is just to say that Lin Yang didn't have the money, so he hadn't laid out a training ground!
They're just ordinary people anyway, and having a place for them to practice martial arts is already a great act of kindness.

"Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."
"Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."
Listening to the sounds coming from the training ground, Lin Yang suddenly felt as if he had returned to his junior high and high school days. The eighth set of national middle school broadcast gymnastics... Now begins!
Back then, from the fledgling eagle taking flight to the call of the times, and then to the dancing youth, Lin Yang couldn't even remember how many sets of radio calisthenics he had learned from childhood to adulthood.
What's even more awkward is that these old scholars also opened their eyes wide and carefully observed the actions of these common people.
"Hmm, very simple, really simple. It seems to only improve health. It doesn't seem to have any special effects," Sima Hui thought to himself.
However, this time he dared not say it directly, what if he was proven wrong again? Therefore, thinking of this, he became even more careful and serious. As he watched, he even started to imitate the common people in the story, jumping up and down.
Moreover, he wasn't the only one doing this; a whole bunch of old scholars behind him jumped up and down along with him.
Twenty or thirty elderly men, all in a public place, doing calisthenics together—what kind of spirit is that? Anyone who didn't know better would just think they were a bunch of old hooligans.
After jumping around several times, Sima Hui finally stopped. Then, somewhat embarrassed, he asked, "I wonder what the purpose of this is?"
"Ahem, well, it's very simple. It's for improving health. Otherwise, if you eat too much and don't exercise, you'll just turn into a pig, right? So, these calisthenics exercises were created to improve physical fitness."
"Although it cannot cultivate true qi or be developed from the outside in, and cannot be considered a high-level external skill, with more practice, it can still strengthen the body and cure all diseases!" Lin Yang said earnestly.
It's important to know that martial artists are automatically immune to the vast majority of common diseases. Illnesses like colds, fevers, toothaches, headaches, or organ failure are virtually nonexistent in martial artists.
It may seem unbelievable, but it's true!
Moreover, and more importantly, even if you provide resources and advanced martial arts skills to these ordinary people who have never been exposed to martial arts before, they may not necessarily be able to learn them!
Everything should be done step by step. For these ordinary people, practicing these basic external exercises, which are similar to calisthenics, regularly can ensure their health, prevent kidney deficiency, and prevent colds. Isn't that enough?
As for the next step, those with exceptional talent or a strong drive for self-improvement will naturally receive further training methods to be passed on.
For example, at a more advanced and basic level, there is the art of Qi gathering. Each day, one absorbs a wisp of the purple Qi of the rising sun to strengthen the body's foundation. Over time, one cultivates a wisp of pure true Qi, entering the acquired realm.
If we continue down this path for ten or even several decades, we will eventually be able to realize the aspiration of all people to achieve advanced cultivation!
Moreover, the cost is minimal; it requires neither precious resources nor much money. All one needs to do each day, before going to work in the fields, is to collect a wisp of the morning sun's purple aura at the very moment of sunrise. It's simple, convenient, and most importantly, free.
After listening to Lin Yang's arrangements, the old masters fell silent for a rare moment. Many family heads had dreamt of such lofty goals as universal martial arts training and everyone becoming like a dragon in their youth.
Ultimately, all attempts failed. But Lin Yang's plan, however, gave them a glimmer of hope. Perhaps it could succeed?
"Ah, I'm getting old, really old. My Pang family is willing to contribute 100,000 people to the State of Wu. At the same time, I only hope that the Duke of Wu can properly cultivate Shi Yuan and the others." Pang Degong stroked his beard and said earnestly.
Previously, he couldn't understand the contents recorded by his ancestors—the so-called chosen ones, born to be protagonists, destined to be the center of the world. Now, he finally understands some of his ancestors' helplessness.
"Ah, so does my Huang family. I'll entrust my daughter to the Duke of Wu then."
"I……"

Chapter 49: Calamity Aura Spreads, Extraterrestrial Demons Invade the Main World?
At night, the sky is filled with twinkling stars, and even the moon is not very bright. Looking up, you'll see that the stars are shining, but strangely, the moon isn't very bright.
Looking around, one would find it to be quite dark. Without using martial arts or Taoist techniques, even with Lin Yang's exceptional physical abilities, he could only see about a hundred meters ahead using his eyesight alone. An ordinary person would probably only be able to see about twenty meters ahead.
