The village more than 100 miles away was still peaceful, and Chen Jian had no idea what had happened to Hua and his people.

He is still immersed in the sweet dream of fooling people to come to farm after tomorrow's autumn harvest.

After the summer harvest next year, the people of those tribes will be fooled, and they will be taught to cultivate the land, divide and marry, become relatives within three to five years, suppress ambitions with military superiority, and plunder the population and farm from the outside world.

With a radius of 200 miles, nearly 10,000 square kilometers, plus the land on the south bank of the Caohe River and the seeds to be harvested next year, it should be able to support a small city of thousands of people.

In the previous life, the Chinese civilization first spread, and then spread like stars, forming hundreds or thousands of small square countries, and finally merging. It began with the ancestors, migrated and expanded, and finally returned to one, otherwise there would be no legend of the kingdom of Yao Shun, let alone the story of the eight hundred princes.

With the current communication capability, the range that a country can control is within a hundred miles.

The plan is to tie the nearby tribes to the chariot, plant the land quietly for a few years, plunder the slaves, develop the bronze quickly, and form the Fang Kingdom, basically within thirty years, a group that is unlikely to be annihilated in the long river of history can be formed.

It's just that this seemingly perfect plan is only a plan in the end, without considering external threats, and even a major drought in a certain year is enough to knock the tribe back to its original form and disperse again.

In the relics of Chinese civilization in the previous life, this situation is not uncommon. The Hongshan cultural site that once gave birth to an outstanding civilization, there are worships without Rong, the jade culture is developed, the settled agriculture, the worship of the goddess, the copper smelting crucible, the pottery kiln in the room, and even the jade dragon have appeared, and the only thing in the funeral goods is that there is no war weapon, which can be said to be a paradise country.

But the site of this powerful cultural group is in the Inner Mongolia grassland, because of the sudden southward shift of the 400 mm isoprecipitation line, the semi-drought hit the settled culture of this ethnic group is huge, and eventually decays.

The cause of the drought may simply be due to the sudden frequency of solar activity or the fact that the earth has accidentally turned a little more.

This is the cruelty of reality, there are too many accidents in such a thing as civilization. For example, the meteorite tribe, if the meteorite fell next to his own clan, Jian Chen was confident that the clansman would develop faster.

The only thing to be thankful for is that in addition to chance, there are more inevitability that there are rules to follow. He now only expects that the wind and rain will be smooth in the past two years, as long as he is familiar with farming with his clan within two years, he is not afraid of drought coming, and it is a big deal to move south.

In the past few days, dozens of acres of land have been reclaimed, and the speed is also accelerating. The reclaimed land is now arranged in rows of concave and convex rows, and when the time of planting is to break the ridge top, the ridge tops on both sides become ridges, and the ridges become ridge tops. From year to year, the habit will gradually form, and under the premise that the land tribes share slaves, the labor force can fully realize this kind of intensive cultivation.

When the land is separated, the cattle should be able to be found, and the dung and grass sprinkled every year will accumulate, and the land will gradually become ripe. And this method of cultivating ridges will be used even thousands of years later, and the technical difficulty is not high.

It may be that the yield will be lower at the beginning because of the seeds, but it can be successfully improved with fishing and hunting.

The brick kiln has not yet been built, and Chen Jian is not ready to take care of it, he wants to let those people explore it by themselves and use time to pile it up.

In the future, those children will have to use the apprenticeship to learn life skills from these people, he has no skills, and most of them know a little about the skin, and he is definitely not as good as these front-line people in some common problems in production.

In the long run, some of the women of the tribe are already pregnant. At that time, those children will be enlightened by him, and when they are a little older, they will go to the front line as apprentices, learning and using them at the same time.

Even if those people can sum up the precautions of charcoal burning bricks from experience before this group of unborn children grow up, it is worth it. Some things are not life and death, and they can be considered for a long time.

Because he had been thinking about it for too long, he didn't have fun with his people these few nights, but found a quiet place to ponder the language problem.

Language is earlier than writing, and writing takes time to accumulate, so since you decide to take pictographic ideographs, you need to determine the pronunciation in advance to prepare for future generations.

He didn't even think about the alphabet, and after going out in the future, he would inevitably encounter a situation of ten miles of different sounds, and how to unify the pronunciation was a problem.

In the previous life, the pronunciation of ancient Chinese characters was learned by the straight sound method and the reverse cut method. The straight pronunciation method is that the word "carp" is pronounced "li". The reverse cut rule is similar to pinyin, and several words are combined to take the initial vowel, such as the word "囡", and the phonetic pronunciation with the reverse cut method is about "brain remnant", taking the initial and the residual finals of the brain.

After thinking about it, I definitely want to use the reverse cut method, but I still want to improve it.

He wanted to create forty-seven words, pronounced as twenty-three initials and twenty-four finals. And these forty-seven words must be simple, and they must also be very common in life in the future, which requires changing the pronunciation of some things.

When the time comes, use these forty-seven words as a reverse tangent table phonetic, and at least form an approximate unified pronunciation if it is promoted, as long as you can learn the pronunciation of these forty-seven words, and the rest will be spelled by yourself.

Anyway, most of the things of the later generations have not yet appeared, and it is relatively easy to come up with forty-seven common words in daily life.

For example, if something like "candle" has not yet appeared, it naturally has no pronunciation, so it can be pronounced. Writing "candle", but only taking the initials, reading as "knowing"; And "hemp", a word that is about to appear, removes the initials and only the finals, and writes "hemp" and reads it as "ah".

In this way, when later generations learn words, when they encounter the word scum, the phonetic sound behind it is "candle hemp", and in fact, when it is read, it is "know the scum".

The reason why I didn't choose the words that were originally pronounced like this is because candles and hemp are extremely common, and even those who farm the land can know it.

How to write these words also needs to be slightly changed, and it is best to make the vast majority of people recognize them in a month.

This is a long-term project, and there is no benefit in the short term, but it is still worth wasting this time to prepare for the future unification and the same text and sound.

Even if you can't find forty-seven commonly used things, there are other things you can use. Yu Qian'er observed the moon, and one day the people would find that there were twelve months in the year, and the decimal and decimal fusion of the sexagenary and terrestrial branches would also appear, and the pronunciation would be changed at that time.

It is best to write "Meridian Maoyou", but when it reads "Wave Touching Buddha" or "Ahh

Think carefully about what the clansmen have already named, and write it down. Write down what will appear soon in the future, and now it's time to prepare for the change.

At least some of the forty-seven words in the plan cannot be read according to the previous method, and the rest will be left to the course, otherwise the amount of work will be too large, and he will not be able to complete it if he is exhausted.

In fact, he had already begun to prepare for this thing, such as the plant he pinched when the clansmen were discussing the surname, saying that this was a millet, which would overshadow the pottery net in the future.

However, in fact, what he got was a wild wheat, and this pronunciation was only because "Ji" was a single initial, in fact, the millet in his previous life was millet seeds, which had nothing to do with wheat eight poles.

It's a little unaccustomed to him, but it's perfect for the people who have accepted it from scratch, because he named the pronunciation of things that didn't appear at all.

After a few days, he finally made up forty-seven things that had appeared and would appear, and what he had to do was to change his habits, not to wait for new things to come out, and subconsciously name them with the habits of his previous life, but to change them to the vowel effect he wanted.

It's a much more difficult process than learning a foreign language, and it feels like you're a rat but you want to read it as a cat. Fortunately, there were only forty-seven, and if there were a little more, he would really be crazy.

Everything he does now is to lay the foundation, and it is better to change subtly from the beginning than to change the customs later.

Before the advent of the industrial age, the literacy rate must be extremely low, although this method can not directly improve the literacy rate, but it can implicitly improve the speed of Mongolian children's literacy and pronunciation, and it is easy to form the official language promotion.

He looked at the things that were about to appear on the birch bark, and silently memorized them in his mind over and over again, and he must not blurt them out when the time came, otherwise it would be troublesome to change them.

While he was muttering to himself, there was a sound of footsteps, and he hurriedly hid the bark.

From afar, I heard Dao Yu Qian'er shouting: "Brother, something happened!" ”

Jian Chen was shocked, he had never encountered such an emergency after coming for so long, and almost instantly, the whole village was in an uproar.

The howls of the wolf cubs, the shouts of the clansmen, and the footsteps converged, and Yu Qian'er took Chen Jian's hand and ran towards the fire.

As he ran, he said, "Birch is back." ”

"What?"

Jian Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly ran over, Hua leaned against the fire, shivering, and his body was wet, and when he saw Jian Chen coming, he pointed to the grass river and shouted, "Someone is in the river." ”

The clansmen had never encountered such a situation, and they were all a little flustered, and Chen Jian shouted: "Come and take care of him, get him some hot soup, and rub him vigorously until it is hot." Guy come with me to the river, quick! ”

He had roughly guessed what the situation was, it would take several days to get here from where Birch lived, and Birch had run back so quickly, there was only one possibility!

When he was running to the end of his life, he cut the wood and lay on the wood and floated down the river, and it seemed that something really happened.

The tribesmen carried the birch bark boat to the river, it was dark, and it was probably fortunate that the campfire in the village served as a lighthouse, otherwise the birch would not have been able to find this place at all.

"Ignition! Ignition! Fast! ”

The tribesmen hurried back to fight the wood, and several large fires were lit.

Chen Jian snatched the bow from the wolf's skin, tied a pine branch to the feather arrow and lit it, and shot it into the heart of the river, and the tribesmen also learned.

Looking at the upper reaches of the river from afar, there are several logs floating downward, and a few people are faintly lying on it, life and death are uncertain.

"What the hell is going on?"

Jian Chen looked at those people who were crazy like Birch, and his heart was terrified.
