Changan.

Qingyang was bored lying under the big tree to enjoy the shade, and the sound of summer knowledge made it difficult to sleep.

It has been more than a year since I came to Qi with the fleet.

In the past year, these Native Americans in Qingyang have become the same as the Qi people.

Qingyang had never left Chang'an City, and he didn't want to leave here.

In his opinion, Chang'an City is the most beautiful place in the world.

Here, as the book says, the road is also the world's public, the selection of talents and abilities, and the cultivation of faith. Therefore, people do not only kiss their relatives, do not only have their sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have usefulness, the young have growth, and the widowed, widowed, lonely, lonely, and disabled people are all supported.

For those who do not have the ability to survive, the court of Qi has an Anjiyuan to resettle, even if they are ordinary people, as long as they work hard, they will always have a day to get ahead.

Even if they are barbarians who have just become naturalized, as long as they sincerely agree with the identity of Qi people, if they are really talented, they will always be useful in the future.

Qingyang doesn't have any big ideals, the only thing he wants to do is that if he can return to his former tribe one day, it is serious to show off, after all, wealth does not return to his hometown, just like a night walk in brocade.

The acquaintance on the tree was still squeaking, and Qingyang turned over irritably.

But the bell rang for class, Qingyang sighed, took the book off his face, reluctantly got up from the ground, and walked towards the school.

Unlike the local Qi people, naturalized people like them cannot enter the normal academy to study.

The Ministry of Rites has a special place to teach these people, and in addition to these people in Qingyang, there are also many children of the surrounding barbarian tribes who have been sent to Chang'an.

On the surface, he was learning about the culture of the Celestial Empire, but in fact he was just being held here as a hostage.

For example, Qingyang knew that one of the children who was about the same age as himself was the child of the leader of the Northern Dome Country.

Qingyang doesn't know much about the history of the Qi Kingdom, but he only knows that a long time ago, the Qiongguo was driven to the north by the current king, and since then this Qiongguo has been facing the south and calling it a vassal.

Where there are people, there is class, and this place is no exception.

Qingyang, the natives from the distant continent, may be the most low-status group of people in the school.

The school is spacious, with wooden tables neatly placed inside, and although the floor is compacted, it is cleaned and sprinkled with water to prevent dust from flying.

On the back wall, there is a big blackboard hanging with chalk in regular script, study hard, be useful to the country, and strive for a better life in the future.

Qingyang's position was relatively backward, and not long after he sat down, the gentleman from the school got up from the recliner and walked onto the podium.

"Stand up!"

"Hello sir!"

The gentleman nodded and said, "Yes! Sit down! ”

After the students were seated, they looked around, saw that there was no one absent, picked up the chalk and brushed it on the blackboard to write a few large characters.

What is civilization!

"Do you know what civilization is?"

When the students heard this, they all looked at the gentleman on the podium with blank expressions.

"Dajia! You're the oldest, you come and talk about it! ”

I saw a boy in his early teens in the front row, who got up nervously, but his face was flushed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing this, the gentleman said: "I think you should all know that words can record our thoughts, our lives, it can't kill people, it can't be used as appetite to fill the stomach, but throughout the ages, the ancestors who lived in this land, all we can hear are some unrealistic legends."

We don't know their past, we don't know their thoughts.

Without writing, the experience of our predecessors will be lost in history after a few generations.

Civilization, on the other hand, is the condensation of the wisdom of a tribal group of nations through countless years, which frees us from barbarism and distinguishes us from wild beasts.

Our Chinese civilization began in Yan Huang, three emperors passed on five emperors, since the establishment of the Xia country, has gone through thousands of years, although Xia will civilization to the country as the truth, however, the Xia Dynasty tyranny, do not know the true meaning of civilization.

Heaven will descend to the Lord, my king sensed the suffering of the people, and could not bear the suffering of the people of China, and the holy light shone near the world, and cut down Xia Liqi, so that the people of Middle-earth could regain the seed of civilization, and it has been twenty-two years now.

”

Listening to Mr. 's story, Qingyang listened very seriously, and he was also thinking in his heart about the difference between his tribe and the Qi country.

The gentleman took a sip of water and continued: "Although you are strangers, it is the benevolence of the king that you can now sit here and receive the teachings of civilization. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Da Jia, who was still standing there, and said, "Da Jia! Your father is the leader of the Dome Kingdom, and you have lived in Chang'an for more than a year, and now you can talk about how you feel about the word civilization. ”

Da Jia's face was a little bitter, and he secretly called bad luck in his heart, but if he couldn't tell the reason today, he didn't know how many rings he would have to suffer.

"Mr. Hui! I think civilization is to be able to eat well, know how to read, be able to farm, and not kill people indiscriminately. ”

"Hmmm! Why? ”

Mr. said.

Da Jia scratched his head and said: "Before coming to Chang'an, most of the people of the Qiongguo clan could only eat one meal a day, and in winter, they could only wear very hard animal skins to keep warm, and only the capital of the Qiongguo had decent houses to live in.

Before coming to the Qi Kingdom, there was a white plague in the dome, and many livestock died, and the priest said that the tribesmen had angered the gods, so his father ordered the slaves to be put to death to calm the anger of the gods.

Many people died in those days, but the livestock did not come back to life, and the tribesmen starved to death again, and later, the Qiongguo attacked Daqi, and later I was sent to Daqi with thousands of cattle and sheep.

When I got here, I saw that people could eat two meals a day, eat food that grew out of the ground, and in winter they would not have to hide in tents with leaky winds, and there would be no slaves to worship the heavens.

I think that's civilization.

”

Da Jia looked at Mr. a little nervously after speaking.

"Hmmm! Not bad! At a young age, you can explain things clearly, and you do a good job! Sit down! ”

Listening to Mr.'s praise, Dajia always breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whether it is the Xiongnu or the Qiongguo, it is also the same vein as Yan and Huang, yet! These two races have gone to civilization into barbarism, and there is an undefeated reason for my great Qiyan, and if there is a day to return, it is the right reason to declare the king in the clan, if it is still like this, how different from the beasts.

The king is merciful and does not want to kill more, Ruoer and other clansmen are not grateful, when the Great Qi Heavenly Soldiers arrive, do not regret it too late!

”

Mr.'s words are very ugly, the pride of the Central Plains Kingdom, so that he can't treat these barbarian children equally, through this class, let these people know that their country, tribes are worthless here in the Qi country, and the brainwashing output of ideology is the task assigned to him by the Ministry of Rites.

He didn't know why the imperial court wanted to do these things, in his opinion, it was enough to beat these uncivilized savages, where was the need for such trouble.
