After the selection criteria for underage slaves were promulgated, the things that Han Cheng needed to tell were basically all seven, seven, eight, eight.

As the leader of the tribe, after the elder brother said a few words, the next step was the time for the witch's performance.

Holding a formal assembly to worship the gods, telling the gods about these good things that happened in the tribe, thanking the gods, and praying that the gods will continue to bless the tribe, so that the tribe can get more good things, and make the tribe more prosperous and powerful, is something that Wu has been thinking about for many days.

Now that the senior brothers have also returned, they have also held such a conference today, so it is logical to put the meeting of worshiping the gods behind this conference.

Many things will change with the change of objective conditions, such as the sacrifice of the gods in the tribe.

In the beginning, it was carried out in the caves of the tribe.

Later, as the tribe built houses, people moved out of the caves and came to live in the houses, and the totem poles of the tribe were transferred to the houses, and when it was necessary to perform sacrifices, they were carried from the houses to the caves.

Now, as the number of people in the tribe continues to increase, the caves in the tribe can no longer accommodate so many people, so even the place of sacrifice has changed.

Moreover, moving the place of worship to the gods from inside the cave to the Qingque Square was proposed by the witch, who was generally reluctant to make too many changes when it came to the gods and the worship of the gods.

Han Cheng naturally agreed to such a thing very happily.

Although he is the god son of the tribe, and nominally the number one god stick in the tribe, he is far less sincere than Wu when it comes to things like sacrificing to the gods.

It's really because the tribe can have today, it is all because he and the people in the tribe have worked hard bit by bit, and it really has nothing to do with the gods.

Of course, he did not object to these things, let alone say anything to overthrow the gods.

This is not only because he still bears the name of a god son and has an aura on his body, but more importantly, the tribe is far from developing to the point where it is necessary to completely break the faith.

For the current tribe, the positive significance of this primitive sacrifice for the tribe far outweighs the negative significance.

Moreover, the development of society and things is staged, and what is suitable for the actual situation of the tribe is the most practical.

Copying things that are too advanced to a stage that is not suitable for them will not only fail to have the desired effect, but will cause harm to the tribe and affect the development of the tribe.

Regarding this level of primitive belief and worship in the tribe, Han Cheng did not disagree.

More often, it is from a bystander-like perspective and watching, just like watching a temple fair in later generations.

In the sound of gongs and drums, the totem pole placed in the house where Han Cheng and Wu lived was carried out by the senior brothers, and then carried it to the platform that had been cleaned up.

Under the fluttering green finch flag, the more rough and primitive totem pole was erected there, and Han Cheng, the god son, stood on the edge of the totem as before, enjoying the same treatment as the totem pole.

In front of Han Cheng and the totem poles, there were several tables made of dyed red linen cloth, on which were placed objects used to worship the gods.

There are no such things as the three or five animals that were commonly used in ancient times.

On it, there was the rice that Han Cheng had brought back from Jinguancheng, white kaolin, a bowl of cold well water that had just been dug out of the well, a piece of meteoric iron, and a white skull.

These things are all obtained by the tribe this year, and what they represent is the strength of the tribe and the getting better and better of the tribe.

In Han Cheng's opinion, such sacrifices are far more meaningful than the three sacrifices.

In front of the platform, a bunch of flames have been lit, which is also an indispensable tool when the witch officially sacrifices to the gods.

On the one hand, there was a general reverence for fire in this era, believing that it was a sacred but equally harmful thing.

On the other hand, the lack of a raging flame always makes people feel a lot less ritualistic.

Looking at the burning flames, the witch with a feather crown on his head and a bone staff in his hand, the whole person was in a different state, with reverence, excitement, and piety.

On the platform, Han Cheng, who was standing on the edge of the totem pole, did not have Wu's excitement, but squinted his eyes.

Of course, it's not because I can't stand it, but because of the green smoke blown by the wind, the smoke reaches the eyes.

In addition to the change in the venue where the large-scale sacrifice was held, another major change was that the person who performed the sacrifice this time was not the only one who performed the sacrifice.

As the next witch in the tribe who has been cultivated by witches for several years and has become an adult, Stone also came to the scene this time.

He was dressed in the same way as Wu, with a feather crown on his head and a bone staff in his hand.

It's just that compared with the feather crown on the witch's head, the feathers on the feather crown on his head are much thinner, and it is far less bright than the feather crown on the witch's head, and the bone staff in his hand is not as big as the bone staff in the witch's hand.

Actually, for such things, stones are not very fond of doing.

It's not just that he finds these things very cumbersome and hard to remember, but also that they are far less interesting than the rest of the things.

The more important reason is that after so many years, the gods have never taken care of themselves, let alone talked to themselves, and have not even given themselves a little revelation.

This kind of thing made the stone very uncomfortable, and because of it, he lost some patience with the cold gods, and some of the respect he deserved.

If it weren't for Wu having told him more than once that Wu himself had been inspired by the gods and had communicated with the gods, the stone would have wanted to hold the totem poles in the tribe and ask if the gods were asleep.

There are even times when I want to slap the totem pole twice to wake up the sleeping gods......

Sacrificial such a thing, the stone has been practiced many times under the guidance of Wu before, and after holding this sacrificial meeting under the certainty, and letting the stone play with him, Wu has stepped up his assault on the stone in the past few days, so although this is the first time that the stone has done such a thing in front of everyone, he is not too timid and flustered.

As the elder brother beat the drum, a primitive rudeness and simple sacrifice began.

The witch wearing a feather crown and holding a bone staff in his hand, and two stones dressed in the same costume, began to dance.

The stone basically followed the witch the whole time, and he did what the witch did.

While dancing with their hands, the two of them muttered something that only they could understand from time to time.

The two of them didn't just dance in place, sometimes they would circle around the fire, and on two occasions they went directly to the high platform, and circled around the totem pole and Han Cheng standing on the edge of the totem pole.

After dancing for a while, under the leadership of Wu, the two of them went down from the platform and circled around the people of the Qingque tribe who looked very holy and pious standing in the square......

"Celestial!"

After a long time of jumping and jumping and feeling that he was tired, and he almost couldn't bear it, Wu Wu, who had been dancing all the time, finally stopped, stood in the open space between the burning bonfire and the totem pole, and shouted at the totem pole, his voice was pious, and he didn't sound tired at all.

The people who had already been driven by such an atmosphere also shouted loudly with Wu, and followed Wu's example by pressing their hands in front of them and saluting the totem pole.

"Miko!"

Wu raised the bone staff in his hand, raised his arms and shouted, with great piety and enthusiasm, and then held the bone staff in his hand again, pressed his hand to his chest, and bent down deeply.

"Miko!"

The stone and the rest of the tribe all raised their right hands in the same manner as witches, and shouted in unison, full of reverence.

Senior Brother Sha and the other fifty people in charge of standing guard raised the weapons in their hands high, shouted loudly, and then bowed respectfully.

For a while, the entire tribe was filled with rumbling sounds, and everyone leaned over, only Han Cheng, who was standing on top of the totem pole, stood.

I have to say that this feeling is indeed very wonderful, even if it is a person like Han Cheng who has no great ambitions and just wants to develop the tribe quietly, he can't help but feel a little excited at this time.

Fortunately, as a time-traveler who had seen the world, Han Cheng quickly suppressed some other thoughts that arose because of such a scene.

It's not that he can really be pure and have no thoughts, but because the current situation of the tribe does not allow him to have such a mind.

In the eleventh year of the Green Sparrow, after absorbing the two tribes of Feng and Linfeng, the total population of the tribe reached 1,169 people, and the total population of citizens was 807 people.

Among them, there were 123 male adult citizens and 225 female adult citizens, making a total of 348 citizens.

There were 459 minors.

There were three hundred and sixty-two slaves in the tribe, of whom one hundred and eighty-two were adult slaves and one hundred and ten were juvenile slaves.

This year, because the Blackstone coalition came to attack the Copper Mountain settlement, and the Creek tribe joined, the population has grown explosively.

The number of people who had been obtained from the Blackstone Coalition Army on two occasions alone was more than 450 people, and with the addition of 58 people from the Creek tribe, it suddenly reached 520 people.

It was almost half of the total population of the previous Qingque tribe.

Coupled with the newborn babies in the tribe in the past half a year, the number of people in the Qingque tribe now totals 1,732 people.

At the end of the year, after the release of one hundred slaves from the tribe as citizens of the tribe, plus the nineteen who were able to reach adulthood before the end of the year, the number of adult citizens of the tribe could reach four hundred and sixty-seven.

After the implementation of the selection criteria for underage slaves, there will also be a large number of minor slaves who will become citizens of the tribe within a short period of time.

Han Cheng made a rough estimate, according to the current trend, by the end of this year, there will be about 1,150 citizens and more than 600 slaves in the tribe.

This kind of population is really very much for people like Wu who live in this era and have never seen a big tribe.

But Han Cheng, who came from later generations, knew that a village in the plains was about the same as the population of the tribe, or even more than the population of the tribe.

In such a situation, even if some thoughts really arise, he will not implement them.

Because it's just too child's play.

Today's tribe, the most suitable thing to do is to slowly develop and strengthen themselves.

As the tribe grows, grows, and the population increases, something will naturally arise.

Even if it doesn't appear, Han Cheng only needs a little guidance.

Today was a very eventual event, and after a meeting to worship the gods, the totem pole was once again sent back into the room to be placed.

As for the multitude, they did not disperse, for there was still something to be done.

Under the arrangement of some people in the tribe, the people of the Yuanxi tribe, led by the leader of the Yuanxi tribe, came out of the crowd and came to the high platform under the Qingque flag, and then came to the stage one by one, and asked the respected god son to personally bring them ID cards engraved with their names and representing the citizenship of the tribe.

After the ID card was worn, he invited out the pottery statue of the green finch and began to make the green finch wine with high significance for these people.

For those who are new to the tribe or who are about to become a tribe citizen, the identity card and the green sparrow wine are very similar to the meaning of obtaining a marriage certificate and holding a wedding in later generations.

Strictly speaking, after having an ID card, this person is indeed a citizen of the tribe, but if he has not drunk green sparrow wine, it always makes people feel that there is a lot less to lose.

It's like a person who has received a marriage certificate in later generations, but has not yet held a wedding.

"After drinking this bowl of green finch wine, you will be a green finch person from now on!"

After reiterating the meaning of the Qingque wine in front of everyone, mainly after telling it to these people of the Yuanxi tribe, Han Cheng said this final concluding words to the people of the Xi tribe who were all holding the Qingque wine.

Then take the lead in lifting the wine bowl, raise your neck, and drink it all.

The rest of the people of the Yuanxi tribe, who officially became citizens of the Qingque tribe this time, also raised their wine bowls one after another, and solemnly and cherished the Qingque wine in the bowl.

Even the children in their arms dipped their fingers in some green finch wine and wet their lips.

Such a scene, the old slaves in the tribe who watched it, as well as some new slaves who understood the meaning of this thing, were all envious.

I hope that I and others can experience such things sooner, and I hope that such a day will come sooner.

After a conference that lasted more than half a day, the spirit of the people in the tribe was obviously different from before, and the people seemed to have become more energetic.

And the things announced at the conference also began in full swing.

The first is to turn the ignorant children among the tribal slaves directly into citizens of the tribe, and secondly, an examination is conducted for the larger slaves in the tribe.

As Han Cheng had envisioned before, this selection test was mainly based on reading and writing.

There are also fill-in-the-blank questions.

For example, write the world-famous article "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother" of the Qingque tribe on the volume, and then leave some space on it for the children in the tribe to complete it.

In order to add interest, Han Cheng also drew some animals such as dogs, sheep, donkeys, pigs, rabbits, etc., on the top of the scroll, and put parentheses below for these children to write the corresponding names of these animals in it.

Of course, because Han Cheng did not teach pinyin to the people in the tribe, when he wrote silently, Han Cheng, who was the first examiner, took the paper on which the standard answers were written, and slowly read the words written on it to the children who participated in the exam, and let them dictate.

In addition to these, after these children finished the papers, they also needed to take out three bamboo sticks with written words from the several bamboo tubes held by Han Cheng to read.

As long as the reading is not particularly bad, Han Cheng will give it to them.

This time, the underage slaves who took the exam were basically 'old' slaves who had lived in the tribe for a long time, and they had been in contact with Mandarin and Chinese characters for a long time, and their level was not low, especially in speaking, and many of them were very fluent.

Although many people were embarrassed to shed tears in this first exam, many people still passed this exam.

There are a total of 83 people who have passed this assessment. Almost half of the 'old' minor slaves.

More than Han Cheng had expected.

For these minors who passed the assessment, Han Cheng not only announced in public that they would directly become citizens of the tribe from today onwards, but also gave them three lollipops in front of all the underage slaves, and also gave them a small red flower and tied them to their clothes in person.

The children who passed the assessment had a lollipop in their mouths, a gang candy in one hand, and a small red flower tied to their chests.

Such a glorious appearance, I don't know how many underage slaves are envied.

Not only them, but even many adult slaves were envious of this, and they also wanted Miko to tie a small red flower to their chests.

For example, pine needles that have only been in the Qingque tribe for a short time.

After such a scene, it was logical that a wave of learning Mandarin and learning Chinese characters was triggered among the tribes.

Many minors, at night, still hold a stick, lie in front of the sand table, and practice by the light of the fire or the bright moonlight.

The world-famous story "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother" of the Qingque tribe has once again set off a wave of craze in the tribe, and the sound of these children reciting this famous story can be heard everywhere for a while.

Under the influence of such a trend, the minors in the tribe who were originally citizens have also joined the ranks of serious study.

As for the children who passed the assessment, changed their fate with this, and also gained a lot of honors, most of them did not put these things down, and they also took the time to study seriously.

Han Cheng was extremely satisfied with such a scene.

When he was satisfied, the children of the tribe were going to suffer, because the unscrupulous gods, who saw this effect, quickly announced to the children of the tribe that when the next time they took the exam, they would not only test Chinese characters and Mandarin, but also mathematics.

After such a news was announced, these children, who understood what mathematics was and how difficult it was, immediately wailed.

At the same time, many people are still regretting why they didn't learn the word and language of God well before. After learning these two things and passing the last exam at one time, I don't have to suffer from arithmetic anymore.

But wailing to wailing, stimulated by things like being citizens of the tribe and lollipops and little saffrons, these children, under the teaching of Yuan, who has become a glorious math teacher, earnestly learn this math that makes people want to bang their heads on the ground.

Seeing the many children in the tribe meditating on an equation they didn't like to learn before, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, just like the later generations want which discipline to rise, only need to include it in the college entrance examination, in the freedom from slave status, as well as the stimulation of material rewards and spiritual rewards such as little safflower and bangbang candy, it has always made most people in the tribe feel a headache, except for a few people who like to learn, the rest of the people are basically mathematics that can not be learned without learning, and it has suddenly become popular.

Originally, Han Cheng's plan was to take a group of people south immediately after dealing with these things, and go to build the second tribe Jinguan City.

But after seeing such a situation, he stopped for a while.

He wanted to compile a language book and a mathematics book for the tribe's teaching.

Prior to this, the teaching business had been carried out in the tribe, and texts such as "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother" and "Monkey Fishing for the Moon" were also produced, which were used in conjunction with the study of Chinese characters and Mandarin.

However, it has not been summarized, and when I was taught, it seemed more casual.

As for mathematics, it is more fragmented than Mandarin and Chinese characters.

In the past, there were not enough people in the tribe, and the style of study was not so prosperous, so it was barely enough to make do.

But now it's different, because after this incident, the learning style in the tribe has suddenly become much stronger.

Under such circumstances, if the teaching materials are not integrated and carefully revised, or according to what has been developed roughly, it is not only irresponsible to the people in the tribe, but also to the entire tribe and the future of the tribe.
