As night fell and fires rose, the high walls separated the place from the rest, a scene of celebration and abundance that was the envy of many surrounding tribes.
"Bang!"
The bamboo cut into pieces burst into flames, and the air inside the closed bamboo nodes expanded rapidly due to the heat.
The gradually softened bamboo skin could not withstand the pressure from the air and was eventually broken, making a loud noise corresponding to that of the drum.
Dark red sparks, like countless fireflies, flickered and rose from the flames.
The happy people formed a circle around the fire, singing and dancing, their laughter and joy spreading out of the tribe in the night, along with the sound of firecrackers and drums that resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The eldest brother, who was slightly drunk, held the drumstick and beat the drum with a smile on his face.
The witch with flushed face looked at everything in front of her, smiling like a blooming witch, and struck the clappers in her hands vigorously. They wanted to scare away the evil beast Nian. How could they let the beast disturb such an intoxicating scene?
This year we are going to build a large tiled house made entirely of bricks and covered with tiles!
We also need to make things like stone rollers and stone mills.
If we can find metal ore, it would be best if we can also make some achievements and progress in this regard.
There are also wheat seeds, and spices such as ginger, garlic, and peppercorns...
On the first day of Qingque's fifth year, Han Cheng, whose eyes were a little red from keeping watch, sat on the edge of the kang, counting on his fingers.
The big brick and tile house was not for living in, but for use as a school. Han Cheng, who came from later generations, understood the importance of knowledge better than anyone else of this era.
In the short term, you may not see anything, but after long-term development, you will be able to appreciate the tremendous energy contained in it.
If a tribe wants to develop over the long term, education, ideological and cultural construction, and the inheritance of knowledge and history are crucial links.
This is also the most fundamental reason why the nation that Han Cheng lives in has been able to survive from the ancient barbaric times, and has survived thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow without falling. Instead, it has become stronger and more powerful, demonstrating a vitality that has amazed the whole world.
During its development, it has encountered crises and powerful countries have emerged around it. However, those once very powerful countries, such as the Huns, Khitans, etc., have long since broken their lineage.
However, the nation that makes Han proud has gone through ups and downs and has come to this day.
Because every time a crisis comes, there will always be countless people with lofty ideals who step forward and save the collapsing building with the spirit of "I will go forward even if there are thousands of people against me"...
This is the important power demonstrated by ideological education and cultural inheritance, which can be called national cohesion.
The Qingque Tribe is the tribe where Han Cheng lives. It has grown and developed little by little under his leadership and the joint efforts of all the people in the Qingque Tribe.
He and the people of the Qingque tribe have, through their own efforts, little by little turned it into what it is today. Naturally, he does not want the inheritance to be cut off in the future development.
Even though it may be changed to other names in the long-term development in the future, it is better not to break the inheritance.
Developing productivity and increasing the cohesion of the Qingque tribe are important purposes for Han Cheng to decide to establish an educational institution.
In order to highlight the importance of education, he decided to build a large brick and tile house as a school.
In addition, the record of the history of the Qingque tribe should also be started.
It has only been five years since I arrived in Qingque. There are too many people involved in the changes that have taken place since I arrived. Recording history at this time can provide the most accurate first-hand information.
Remembering history is an important force that supports a nation's long-term development.
This matter was left to Shitou, the next witch who had been successfully led astray by him into the field of astronomy, to record...
Of course, the Qingque tribe's school will not only teach things like ideology, but also some knowledge about life and survival. After all, the Qingque tribe at this time is far from being able to support many specialized scholars.
When the time comes, I, the Son of God, will serve as the principal of this school.
It's not bad to have both culture and military force.
Being a principal is a very necessary thing. Generally speaking, anyone who knows a little about the Republic of China can clearly understand the important role of the principal...
A year's plan begins in spring. As the head of the Qingque tribe, and possessing knowledge that no one else in the tribe has, he has to consider many things.
Han Cheng would not ignore the bright and smooth road proven by history and instead explore those tortuous paths.
I will talk to Wu and the others about these things later, and then finalize them completely. I will wait until spring comes and flowers bloom, and then I will start to implement them step by step.
Amid the voices of people wishing each other a happy new year, the first day of Qingque's fifth year passed quietly.
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Han Cheng gathered together Wu, the eldest brother, the second brother, Shang, the junior brother Sha, Heiwa, Shitou and other elders and technical backbones of the Qingque tribe, and explained to them bit by bit in a way that they could understand, as much as possible, about building the school and other matters.
No one had any objection to this.
Over the years, they have been obeying the Son of God's commands and following in his footsteps. Their tribe has undergone unprecedented changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
All these things seemed to tell them that it was right to follow the Son of God.
There were many things that the Son of God said this time that they did not understand, but they all remembered the final result clearly, which was that if they followed what the Son of God said, their tribe would become more prosperous and powerful.
Heiwa immediately said that he would burn enough tiles, and Shitou also patted his chest and promised that on the basis of doing things like making a calendar, he would carefully record what happened in the Qingque tribe in the past...
Climate change, like the passage of time, is subtle but clearly perceptible.
Before we knew it, the ice and snow had begun to melt, revealing green grass roots. The frozen river surface turned into clear water, and the fish that had been held back for a whole winter happily jumped out of the water.
The trees planted along the river bank and around the tribe also began to sprout new buds.
Some peach and apricot trees planted last year already have flower buds, and some impatient ones have already opened a petal, exuding a faint fragrance...
