Xuan paused while flipping through the history book, then looked up at Meng Yuqing. "Father Beast has already sent Lian to tell the people on Bird Island about the plan to build Sea City. Our tribe's construction plan was almost finished last winter. Those working here can ask for their opinions and bring them to build Sea City. These little guys can stay here to do the work for our tribe."
"But we can't take them all with us. The sea people will need some people to work on the construction of Haicheng. We can guide those who stay to build their own tribes. We can also open up some more wasteland here and expand the hunting area." Meng Yuqing added.
These tribes in the hunting area are more dependent on Qingshan City, and they are essentially independent.
However, if they continued to live like this, Meng Yuqing felt that he could gradually understand the hunting area of Qingshan City as a small country, and these independent small tribes would be the small villages and towns within this country, slowly radiating to the surrounding areas, and the entire south would be completely under the control of Qingshan City.
But this will take some time, and during this period, the education at Qingshan School will be very important.
Especially the concept of Southern integration.
After the exam, as expected, the entire Qingshan City was filled with all kinds of strange noises.
Everyone in Qingshan City is used to this. Since they started studying, this has happened after every exam.
The team that came to pick up students from the Baishan tribe was the first to arrive. There were a total of five people who came to Qingshan City to study, two of whom were sub-beasts. The leader of these students was the white-haired orc, Mei, who was being trained as the heir by the Baishan tribe leader.
During this winter studying in Qingshan City, he saw many things he had never seen before.
Apart from not allowing them to transform into beast forms or fight at will, the orcs of Qingshan City did not restrict their freedom too much, and they would take them to work every day off.
Even the sub-beasts were assigned tasks, but the tasks they had to do could all be completed indoors, such as cleaning the school classrooms and all the dormitories, forming their fur into strips, assisting in processing the food needed for the school in the next week, and some other food processing tasks.
Qingshan City spread out everything they were going to do in the winter in front of him, and didn't seem to worry at all about the students from other tribes learning from them.
He was also observing all of this very carefully, hoping to learn something and bring it back to make their tribe better.
Then he discovered that there were many things he simply couldn't understand. The orcs in Qingshan City took them to work and told them what to do and how to do it, but they didn't explain too much.
The only thing he could see clearly now was that the reservoir in Qingshan City stored many live beasts that were not very powerful as food, and the fur of the beasts was spun into thread, which the sub-beasts then braided into long strips to wrap around their necks for warmth.
He had also carefully observed the heated beds they slept on and knew what they were and how to use them, but he had never figured out what materials Qingshan City was made of. They were seamlessly integrated, and every dormitory had one, and they were all exactly the same size.
He saw a lot of things, but understood very little of them. However, even those things he understood could bring back great benefits to the tribe.
With this in mind, he trotted over to the adult orc in front and said, "The second semester will start in the summer. I think we should continue to attend school."
The adult orc turned to look at him and said, "I know. The tribe leader said that if Qingshan City is still willing to let you go, he will definitely send you there. The tribe leader also said that if you can learn something and return, it will be very useful to the Baishan tribe."
Mei nodded, relaxed a little, and continued, "In addition to learning characters and arithmetic, we also followed along to do some work. Although the people in Qingshan City didn't explain anything specifically, they didn't wary of us either. We still understood a few things. At least the winters ahead will be better than they are now. When summer comes, we'll see how they spend their summers, and we'll definitely learn something."
Hearing this, the adult orc smiled and said, "Yeah!"
After returning to the tribe, Mei and four other students ran non-stop to the chief's house.
When they broke into the patriarch's house, the patriarch and his partner had just finished dinner.
Seeing the children who were sent out to study come back, the patriarch nodded to his partner, and then took the children to another room.
Mei first took out a book from her backpack and opened it to show the tribe leader, saying, "Tribal leader! From here to here, I know all the words. We also learned a method of calculation. From now on, we won't have to rely on our intuition when calculating. And if this method is taught to everyone in the tribe, almost everyone will be able to learn it."
The White Mountain Patriarch took the book. When his fingers touched the fragile paper, he moved very lightly and said with a smile, "Okay, okay."
Then, Mei took out a short essay she had written, "My Tribe," from her bag and continued, "I wrote this using the characters I learned."
He handed his short essay to the sub-beast next to him, who understood and began to read it directly.
After Mei finished reading, the other four people also took out their own short essays and read them to the Baishan tribe leader.
"Look, Chief, I don't need to speak. I just need to write down what I want to say. People who know how to read will know what I mean just by looking at these words. We use them to record a lot of knowledge and experience. As long as the records are there, we will not forget the knowledge and experience."
When Chief Baishan heard Mei's words, his hands began to tremble. They now passed on their experience and knowledge orally, but the lives of orcs and sub-beasts were so long that it was impossible for them to remember everything clearly. When teaching young people, there would always be things that they had not remembered for the time being.
If they don't remember what they missed and teach the young before they die, then that knowledge and experience will be lost, and it will take an unknown amount of time before it is discovered by another member of the tribe.
Even those tribes with shamans cannot guarantee that their shamans will not miss anything when imparting their experience and knowledge.
After all, remembering is one thing, but being able to think of it when you don’t mention it is another.
"In addition to these we must learn, there are many other things. Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly." Mei sat directly on the ground and told what he understood.
