Chapter 424 Teaching and Coin Minting (Please vote and subscribe)
After the award ceremony, other activities were quickly held in the square, including various labor competition-style games, blood family genealogy assessment, and football matches held outside the city.
The reward for the assessment is two rabbits per family. Rabbits are easy to raise. They can survive with some grass and leaves. They give birth to many rabbits, reproduce quickly, and are particularly clean. Now every household in Hanyang City has 10 to 20 rabbits. The tribe does not need to provide meat for daily life. The skins of the rabbits can be used to make clothes for children or shoes. Collecting a few small rabbits from every family in Hanyang City is enough to distribute to the new city.
Families that pass the assessment can receive two rabbits for free as private property. Such rewards have attracted a large number of people early on, and long queues have formed in front of the two assessment booths set up in advance.
Of course, some people don't want to wait in line, but want to get some prizes, so they have to participate in game competitions. Common labor methods are set up here, such as firewood chopping competitions, water carrying competitions, basket weaving competitions, rice mortar competitions, straw tying competitions, wood sawing competitions, and even sheep skinning competitions. In
these small game-style competitions, each group of ten people has a reward for the top three, either a chick or a rabbit. There are also some small tools used in daily life, mainly kitchen knives, scissors, axes, shovels, etc. The highest first prize may be a guillotine. If you have sheep and pigs at home, it is best to use a guillotine to cut feed.
Since the competition is in the form of a group of ten people, and three people win the prize, there are still many tribesmen who cannot get the reward, but there are too many competition items. If you are not very good at this one, you can try other items. This will not only increase the activeness of the tribesmen in participating in the competition, but also basically get rewards in the end, and make the festival celebrations held this time seem a little more lively.
The temporary football field outside the city was also very lively, with a group of people chasing the ball and kicking it around. There were also many people watching. This was mainly because during the construction of the new city, everyone was usually very busy. After a tiring day
, they went home to take a shower and go to bed. There were no entertainment activities. Seeing such an interesting game at this time, even if they couldn't play in person, they couldn't help but come to watch. When the activity lasted until the evening, the tribe's grand dinner began again. The tribe took out 500 antelopes to make roasted lamb, which basically allowed all the residents of the new city to share some.
If it had been before, Luo Chong might have been a little reluctant, but the beginning of summer was the peak breeding season for saiga antelopes. The original 3,000 antelopes suddenly became more than 8,000. If it weren't for the large amount of rice straw used as reserve feed this year, the Han tribe might not be able to feed so many livestock. Now taking out 500 aging ones and slaughtering them directly can also be regarded as relieving the pressure of feeding.
Roasted lamb, lamb soup, and some homemade porridge, this dinner was enough to satisfy all the tribesmen. After all, although the Han tribe had no shortage of food, there was not much meat. Lamb was a bit better, but pork, in particular, was something they couldn't bear to eat.
All the pigs raised by the Han tribe came from the Lu tribe, but the Lu tribe only had a family of 1,800 pigs. Luo Chong was reluctant to let the tribesmen eat them. It would be best to breed more piglets as soon as possible to expand the size of the race. When all the families in the Han tribe can raise a few fat pigs, they will have the possibility of eating pork. So in general, the pigs in the Han tribe are still very safe.
In addition, Luo Chong knew a way to make pigs grow meat quickly, which was to knock the pigs out, that is, to castrate them.
The activity of castrated pigs will decrease, but they will not fight each other because of estrus, causing unnecessary losses. Basically, castrated pigs have low self-esteem. They only eat and sleep all day long. It would be a miracle if they don't grow fast.
But it is not possible to do this now. First, it is necessary to expand the population. Second, the Han tribe does not have the technology for castration. Luo Chong plans to wait until there are more domestic pigs. Then he will organize people to do dissection exercises. He will dissect a few more pigs to learn about the body structure of pigs. It would be best to do a live experiment and try it himself.
In his previous life, Luo Chong heard from the old people in his family that in the early years, the powerful pig-knocking craftsmen rode bicycles through the streets and alleys to find work in various villages. For those who are experienced and quick, it only takes one or two minutes to castrate a pig. For piglets that have just been weaned, it only takes tens of seconds to do it. They are definitely talents. Unfortunately, there are no such people in the Han tribe now, so they can only cultivate them slowly.
The grand dinner for 10,000 people lasted for five or six hours. It was completely dark. The tribesmen reluctantly returned home and began to study how to build pens in their yards to raise the small animals they won. Everyone's face was filled with smiles, as if the days ahead would be getting better and better.
The next morning, after all the matters in Xincheng were settled, Luo Chong led a group of students and finally set off on the journey back to Hanyang City with supplies. As for what supplies, of course, they had to bring several carts of white paper. This time, not only did they have to bring enough paper to paste the windows, but they also had to set aside a large part for teaching and for Luo Chong's personal use.
After all, the school had been built, so the only thing left was to write textbooks. Luo Chong had to do this himself, and he felt a little headache just thinking about it.
In addition, a group of teachers and officials had to be trained as soon as possible so that the school could be used earlier and the new government could be established as soon as possible. At the very least, they had to start with a census and sort out the population of Hanyang City, the old base, so that the transfer and relocation next year could proceed smoothly.
In addition, after having enough paper, Luo Chong can start designing the coins of the Han Empire. Now the pace of private ownership is getting bigger and bigger, especially the Labor Day celebration held in the new city, which has pushed the progress of private ownership forward a lot.
When you have your own things, when you don't need them, but need things in other people's hands, private transactions will inevitably occur, and then there will be a demand for coins, so the manufacture of coins must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Write textbooks, teach the first batch of teachers, train the first batch of government officials, and get the coins minted as soon as possible. This person hasn't even returned home yet, and Luo Chong found that he has found several things to do for himself, and they are all important things that must be done. Moreover, only he knows how to do it, and he doesn't even have a helper. It's speechless.
