The crisp sound of crackling sounded in the room, very rhythmic.
Hei Lie walked into the study and saw Yang Yi typing something with his left hand and writing with a pen in his right hand.
This is Yang Yi's new study, built on the third floor of the middle building of the temple.
The new study room was arranged by Yang Yi himself, completely in accordance with the Chinese style, whether it is furniture or window lattices.
Yang Yi will not deliberately guide the people of the tribe to follow his aesthetics, but he still wants to arrange the style he wants in his own territory.
He is now a local tyrant who owns a large amount of huanghuali wood, and of course the Chinese style is the most suitable.
On one side of the study is a large huanghuali wood desk, on which there is a brush shelf, on which hang brushes of various sizes and materials, as well as inkstones, paperweights, etc., the most common four treasures of the study in Chinese-style study rooms, here Very complete.
The chairs are also very Chinese style. Behind them is a bookshelf with many ornaments, mainly pottery made by tribes.
There are also some strange rocks picked up by Yang Yi, and certain parts of some animals.
While ancient and literary, there is also a little bit of weirdness.
Hanging on the wall are his writings, which are powerful and unrestrained.
Yang Yi felt that when he came here, his writing skills had changed a little.
In the past, he was often told by his grandfather that his writing was not sharp enough, hard enough, or soft enough, but now if his old man sees his handwriting, he will definitely not have such comments.
This is probably due to the change of environment and state of mind, which also gave me a new understanding of calligraphy, which is also one of the charms of Chinese calligraphy.
It is not simply writing, but an art.
All fall now except him, the most beautiful handwriting is Han Bing.
Although Black Hunter is smart, it is his shortcoming in this regard.
However, he has only studied for a few months, and it is actually very difficult to write to this level.
It's just that compared to his comprehension in other aspects, writing is much weaker.
In the other corner is a relatively low tea table in the form of tatami mats with rattan mats placed on it.
When resting and relaxing, you can drink tea or rest here.
One side of the study room faces the square, and a row of windows makes the inside very bright, and it is not necessary to turn on the lights until sunset.
"This is the abacus?" Hei Lie pulled out the chair and sat down in front of Yang Yi.
Yang Yi stopped, put down the pen in his hand, stood up and stretched, relaxing all the muscles in his body.
"Yes, our tribe now needs to record more and more data, and oral calculations will gradually be unable to meet the usual needs. Having an abacus will be much more efficient."
Yang Yi only recently remembered such an artifact, and it took him a long time to find relevant information in the space.
The space is not like a shopping mall, where things are piled up, not sorted out, and cannot be retrieved.
Every time I want something, it takes a lot of effort, and it often makes Yang Yi forget this and miss that.
Yang Yi also wanted to pick a special time to tidy up, but after seeing so many things, there was nothing left.
Yang Yi learned abacus and mental arithmetic when he was a child, so he can be regarded as a child.
Although most of them have been forgotten, you can quickly get started and master the most superficial skills by picking up the book again.
Abacus calculation is very extensive and profound. Before the birth of computers, it was definitely a powerful calculation tool.
When China was the first to manufacture the atomic bomb, scientists used abacus to complete a lot of data.
Therefore, it is of great significance to learn abacus well, but Yang Yi's current level is the simplest data addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and now he is still learning the basics.
"Then I'm going to learn."
"It's time to learn. Learning abacus and mental arithmetic can also greatly improve people's thinking ability." Yang Yi nodded.
"Abacus calculation will be included in the compulsory courses. There are already a few people who are good at mathematics are learning abacus calculation from me. They have made rapid progress. When the new school officially starts teaching, the best ones can be selected as abacus calculation teachers."
The new school was built right behind the temple, where it could accommodate five or six hundred students at the same time, and a place was specially reserved. Be prepared for larger numbers in the future.
The classroom setting is the same as the earth, there are large classrooms and small classrooms, which is convenient for different types of teaching methods.
The tribe must actively carry out literacy education, but at the same time, it must not let a large number of people go out of production, and must ensure the normal operation of the tribe.
Therefore, the number of full-time students is still very small, mostly children aged three to eight.
And even the children don't just need to study, they still have to participate in tribal labor, but it's all light and trivial work.
The time is mainly in the afternoon. There is no so-called weekend rest day here, and the tribe is still unable to realize this welfare system based on the premise of abundance and safety.
These people have never heard of the word rest, and they are busy every day, and they are used to this kind of life.
At most, they will not be so busy when the snow is falling heavily in winter, but at that time their hearts are always terrified and uneasy.
As soon as the weather improves, I will go out to look for food, even if I have food in my hand, I dare not sit and eat.
This is a habit developed under difficult conditions. At first, Yang Yi thought about implementing the weekend rest system, but Hei Lie and Jiao bluntly rejected it.
I feel that they are already very relaxed now, and they can stop what they are doing early on, and set aside a whole day to rest, which is too extravagant.
Yang Yi also knew that he was caused by stereotyped thinking. He was a lazy person who judged others by himself. He always felt that he would be suffocated by working without rest, so he brought it up.
Since the people here can bear it, he will not be stubborn. If there is a problem, it will be revised at that time.
Adult classes are mostly taught in the form of evening classes, and the afternoon time is also used two or three days a week during the day.
The current standard for basic literacy is roughly at the level of graduation from Huaxia Primary School.
This is what everyone must achieve. As for whether to continue to study, it depends on the individual's willingness and ability.
The higher the elite education, the more study time will be given, which belongs to the specially trained professional talents.
The specific arrangements were all discussed and calculated by Yang Yi, Jiao, Black Lie, and some outstanding talents from some tribes. Corresponding education must be carried out on the premise of ensuring the normal operation of each department.
After all, their foundation is weak now, and there are too many things to do.
Education is of course very important, but it must also be on the premise of being able to fill one's stomach.
Black Hunter has no objection: "School can officially start after the bumper harvest."
Classes are still running now, but after the new school is officially established, there will be some adjustments.
Including time arrangements, teaching methods, teaching materials, etc., are more standardized than before.
Yang Yi rubbed his temples: "We still have a lot of preparatory work to do before that, such as the printing of teaching materials."
In the previous teaching, most of the people did not have textbooks, and the teachers wrote on the blackboard little by little, and then followed them to learn.
In this way, there is no way to preview and review, which is very inconvenient and the efficiency will be reduced.
Now that they have been able to produce paper, and the efficiency is not bad, they will start printing.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. The pottery making team and Han Bing are already trying the movable type printing you mentioned, and it is going well now."
Yang Yi couldn't help laughing: "The pottery making team is really too busy, they have to take care of everything."
They used clay sculpture movable type printing. First, they used clay to carve movable types with seals of equal size, and then fired them into pottery.
When printing, as long as the required characters are arranged one by one, a large number of printed materials can be printed.
The more printing, the higher the efficiency, which is very suitable for the printing of a large number of books such as teaching materials.
However, if the required quantity of books is not large, the efficiency of movable type printing will be relatively low.
Therefore, the current copies of the books that Yang Yi brought out of the space are mainly copied by hand.
"Their team is very large, and the higher the efficiency, the more people will become unnecessary. Now that there is such an extra thing, it saves the need to send some people back."
The tribe's current demand for pottery is not as high as before, and this part of the staff will also be laid off and re-deployed.
"Those on redeployment must also do their job well to avoid other emotions."
Black Hunter took a deep look at him: "You always think about some weird things."
Yang Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm just paying attention to everyone's emotions. I'm just doing something I'm familiar with, and then I'm assigned to another place. It's hard to avoid being unhappy."
Black Hunt still couldn't understand, but still said:
"Okay, I'll let the people in the union pay attention to this, although I don't think it's necessary."
Taking advantage of this celebration and the completion of the temple, Yang Yi re-deployed and divided the various departments to complete the management system.
The supreme leader is the chief, and the black hunter is still in charge.
It's just that the selection system will be changed. There will be not only military elections but also literary examinations. Their tribes cannot be managed by an illiterate.
The second is the priest, who is mainly responsible for comforting internal personnel, as well as external reception affairs, and cooperates with the chief.
Yang Yi is an envoy of the gods, still above the chiefs and priests, possessing absolute control, and also unique.
He is not a position, and Yang Yi's departure means that there is no longer a god envoy in the tribe.
According to the functions, it is divided into the Secretariat, the Logistics Department, the Armed Forces Department, the Fortifications Department, the Agriculture Department, the Resources Department, the Foreign Affairs Department, the Education Department, and the Communications Department. The Ministry of Justice, etc., and a trade union dedicated to workers' rights.
The trade union is currently mainly responsible for the collection of information and specific deployment arrangements for members of each department.
Most of the current positions in the tribe are active, and the mobility will be relatively strong.
Unless they are very talented, technical talents will stay in one place, and other people who just contribute are like a brick, which can be moved wherever it is useful.
However, the trade union will also make arrangements according to each person's characteristics and hobbies, which requires timely updating of each person's information, after all, people are constantly improving and changing.
In particular, some people will suddenly awaken their talents one day. Although most people have signs beforehand, there are also some people who will awaken talents that are completely unmatched by themselves.
Coupled with acquired learning, the information is not static.
The work of trade unions requires the active cooperation of various departments, and at the same time it will have a negative impact on various departments.
Its current role is equivalent to the Ministry of Households, in charge of personnel.
The offices of all departments are in the houses on both sides of the temple. There is also a special reception at the front desk, so that when some people don’t know who to look for, someone can guide them. The front desk is in charge of the secretariat.
There are not many people in charge at present, and they often hold several positions. After all, the current number of people in the entire tribe is still very small.
And almost no one sits in the office all the time, often running around.
Yang Yi also wanted to establish the management system from the beginning and implement it, and when the number of people gradually increased, he could quickly enter the role.
And in this way, it is clear and clear, so that everyone can better understand what they should do.
During this period, it can also be trimmed according to the specific situation, and gradually improved a little bit.
"I boiled taro and gorgon syrup in the pot just now, it should be iced with well water now, would you like some?"
Hei Lie's style of painting suddenly changed. He was talking about business just now, but he suddenly became normal.
Yang Yi was helpless: "You are so busy every day, how do you still have time to do these things?"
"The Gorgon seeds were peeled and delivered, I just threw them into the pot."
Hei Hunter's attitude was natural, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.
Since he started cooking for Yang Yi, he has become more and more interested in cooking. He can not only cook some hard dishes, but also make some desserts.
Yang Yi has always been greedy, whether it's spicy and sour, or dessert and sweet soup, he likes it all.
It’s easy to get hungry when you come here, and you need extra meals. Black Hunter will do it whenever he is free.
Sometimes it will be ready before leaving, and someone will send it over regularly.
Yang Yi also doesn't know why this man spends so much time, his affairs will only be more than his own, not less than his own.
He is just a commander, and many plans are arranged after they are completed. At most, he will supervise them during critical periods.
Black Hunter is different. He must ensure that there are no problems in every link, so he has to supervise it himself.
You have to train soldiers and lead people to hunt, and you have to train yourself to ensure that your combat effectiveness continues to improve.
In addition to various tribal affairs, he is as busy as a spinning top every day.
But he can always find some time to do small things that are extremely inconsistent with his appearance and what he does outside.
Now that they have moved to a new house, it is more convenient and there are more tricks.
Yang Yi not only moved his new study to the temple, but also moved his residence here.
He is an envoy of God, so of course he wants to live in the temple.
The main building of the temple has three floors. The first floor is the tallest and can be as high as two or three floors. It is mainly the temple lobby and various reception rooms.
The second floor will be lower, and it is the library, reading room and important meeting rooms inside the tribe.
The third floor is even lower, about the same height as ordinary commercial housing, and it is mainly the residence of Yang Yi and Hei Lie.
Black Hunter wanted to protect Yang Yi, so he also moved to the temple.
Originally, he also planned to let Jiao live in, but Jiao refused.
She felt that it was better for her to be near everyone. After all, the temple was a sacred place, and many people would not easily go there.
If she also lives above, it will be more difficult for the tribe to find her.
So only Yang Yi and Hei Lie live on the third floor of the main building of the temple. There are not only special study rooms, living rooms, but also kitchens, bathrooms, and shower rooms on it!
There is also a fireplace in Yang Yi's room, so that when winter comes, his house will not be so cold.
The bathroom is also of high standard, specially made for Yang Yi.
A sewer was specially built, and a water tower was built on the roof.
After a period of time, a special person will fill it up and clean it regularly.
Therefore, Yang Yi is almost like living on the earth. Whether it is going to the toilet or washing water, etc., it can be done on the third floor, and there is no need to go outside the house like others.
This is his privilege as an envoy of God, and Yang Yi will not insist on this, insisting on being the same as everyone else.
Why not do it to make himself more comfortable, he is used to the convenience, although he can bear the inconvenience before, but he still hopes that life will be better.
And this shows everyone that as long as they work hard, their living environment will be better in the future, which is also a kind of stimulation.
"Then give me some."
Hei Lie grinned, turned and went out, and walked in again after a while, holding two bowls of taro and gorgon syrup.
Although there is no refrigerator, the well water is very cold, and the sugar water is also cold, and it is very comfortable to drink.
"Your skills are getting better and better."
Yang Yi sighed, if he hadn't been able to walk every day, and the other world had changed his physique, he would have died of fat if he was fed like this according to his living habits on earth.
Hei Lie grinned: "Then eat more, I cooked a big pot. This time I hid it, and those brats didn't see it."
Before Hei Lie, he often had a small affair with Yang Yi, and the fragrance flew far away, and everyone knew that his craftsmanship was very good.
Although I dare not blatantly come here for a meal, it is still very impolite to steal a little from time to time.
Although everyone respects Yang Yi as an envoy of God, it is not to the point of being inviolable, and they also know that he can't eat so much, so they are still relatively casual in some aspects.
Yang Yi smiled: "Tu they are taking revenge on you, I have heard them countless times saying that you have become a devil now."
Black Hunter is now conducting high-intensity training for elite troops, combining modern military training methods without losing the brutality and intensity here, making a group of people cry for their parents.
Although the effect is very significant, some fighters have broken through the level in a short period of time, but it does not prevent them from wishing to kill Black Hunter.
However, a group of people can't kill him together, so they can only find other ways to secretly poke revenge, such as stealing the food he specially made for Yang Yi.
Childish and cute, but at the same time, I can see how helpless he can only do this.
"This celebration will make our tribe famous. If we want to protect what we have, we must be strict." Black Hunting looked sharp.
"People from the Western Continent Caravan have entered the tribe, this time the leader is En, I have never dealt with this person directly before.
He still has a lot of goods, and he doesn't like to interfere with the affairs of other tribes. However, he is also a very shrewd person, and his strength is not weak. "
Western Continent Caravan is a general term. In recent years, many caravans have come to the Eastern Continent. Each team has a different style. The products are roughly the same, but there are also differences.
Behind each team is also supported by various forces in the Western Continent, which are both similar and competitive.
"The door of our tribe is open to the outside world, as long as they are willing to come and trade with us, we welcome them all. Don't worry too much even if they have other crooked ideas. As long as we are strong enough, they will be honest."
Transactions can arrange and utilize resources more reasonably. While ensuring their own self-sufficiency, they can also use exchanges to save time and effort by using their own goods to exchange with others to reduce costs.
Not every item is completely produced by yourself. You can use transactions to exchange labor and products from other places. As long as you ensure that you will not be choked, trading is a very convenient and human resource-saving way.
The risks brought by the outside world will of course bring threats, but they cannot "close the country" because of this. Yang Yi has already learned the consequences of this in modern history.
Even if he brings a civilization that is much more advanced than this world, he must not be arrogant.
Once this kind of mentality is developed, their generation may be fine, but the future generations may fall from the top of the world to the bottom of the world like China once did, and only now slowly climb up.
The one-hundred-year dictatorship is a pain that the people of the country cannot heal up to now, and Yang Yi does not want to repeat the same mistakes.
This is also the reason why Yang Yi has always been in awe of this world, and he will never feel that he is so great just because he has brought advanced technology.
Human beings are constantly improving, and perhaps an opportunity, like the industrial revolution, will soon turn the world upside down.
A hundred years ago, people on Earth could hardly even imagine the world as it is today. Changes are sometimes so rapid.
The earth is like this, Yang Yi feels that there will not be too much difference here, especially the people here are so smart, have good physical strength, and have all kinds of magical talents.
Humility is the character that Yang Yi must instill in everyone.
"We are not the Green Python tribe. We have a natural barrier. If we want the tribe not to be threatened, we must be strong enough ourselves." Black Hunter firmly turned his head to train the hearts of the members of the armed forces.
"There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."
Yang Yi laughed. Although he often heard men say some common expressions on earth, he still found it interesting every time he heard them.
"Did they cooperate to fill in the information?"
"It's being collected now. They want to refuse, but they can't resist the charm of our tribe, and they are reluctant to leave here." Black Hunter raised the corner of his mouth very proudly.
Although the Western Continent caravans are different, they all have one thing in common: they are very arrogant, and they always look superior.
Even if they put on a pleasant face, they can feel their contemptuous attitude.
But now that they have come to the Xinghuo Tribe, although Black Hunter only heard the report, he also knows how much the Xinghuo shocked them, and beat their arrogance to pieces.
"Let them also experience what it means to see the world." Yang Yi couldn't help laughing.
When the Western Continent entered the tribe, Yang Yi used a telescope to see this group of people.
They are obviously very different from those tribes in the Eastern Continent. First of all, the most intuitive thing is their appearance. They are more inclined to Westerners on Earth.
With hair of various colors and pupils of various colors, his facial features are more three-dimensional, and his figure is not much different from that of people from the Eastern Continent.
They are also mainly ordinary people, and there are relatively few fighters. Caravans generally have elite armed forces, otherwise they would not be able to travel thousands of miles to the Eastern Continent for transactions.
But the proportion of their fighters is not that high, and many fighters are from the Eastern Continent, but the overall level of equipment is obviously much better than that of the Eastern Continent, which largely makes up for their shortcomings, and their force value cannot be underestimated.
They all used bronze weapons and wore armor. Although it was a simplified version, it was not fully armed, but it was enough to show their strength.
That's why, although they were amazed by the shock brought by the Xinghuo Tribe along the way, the arrogance that was deeply rooted in their bones was still lingering.
Yang Yi also thought about giving them a blow, but considering the current situation of the Spark Tribe, there is no need to do anything special, and it is enough to amaze these people.
Now it seems that it is true.
"Then we have to think about what we want to exchange with them."
"This is the crystal cup they gave you." Hei Lie took out a wooden box from nowhere and handed it to Yang Yi.
When Yang Yi opened it, he was not interested, but he still praised: "It is indeed a good thing."
But he is not interested in such flashy things, he thinks it is better than his glass, he has always been a pragmatic person.
Yang Yi used to hoard gold occasionally, but it was just to preserve its value.
Hei Lie had expected that Yang Yi would have such an attitude: "They have already taken a fancy to our black pottery, tea, paper, sundial, etc., and their attitude is very fanatical. I think this time they can get back a lot of things that they were unwilling to change before. s things."
Items such as copper and horses are all things that the Western Continent Caravan is unwilling to exchange.
This is also because the Eastern Continent has no bargaining chips. They only have common 'goods' such as furs and slaves. If you are not willing to trade, there are always tribes who are willing.
It is not unique and special, unlike the goods of the Western Continent Caravan, which they want but cannot create by themselves.
Therefore, the initiative is in the hands of the Western Continent Caravan, and there is no way to threaten me with not trading other things with you if you don't exchange copper or horses for me.
"I never worry about this problem." Yang Yi is also very confident about this, "I just don't know how much they can bring us, and I hope they don't let me down."
