Chapter 355: Changes in the Village (1)
What can knowledge change?
Knowledge can change everything!
The rainy season in Daze has always been a depressing, dull, and moldy season.
Before Chutian came to the village, during the rainy season every year, the villagers in the village were like pigs, sheep, cows and horses, eating, drinking, making dolls all day long, sitting at the door of the thatched hut in a daze, and the days passed day by day.
And this rainy season, it is like a dream, the whole village has become different, everyone has become different.
The thatched hut in the middle of the village was completed, which was enough to accommodate seven or eight hundred strong men to feast and deliberate. On one side of the hut, a new hut was built, which was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
This thatched hut is more 'luxurious' than the thatched hut furnished by the village elders, and the floor is made of slag after refining fire copper, which is not leaky and unusually dry. On top of the slag, a thick layer of smooth floor is laid, and the polished and smooth floor can almost be used as a mirror.
Oil lamps are made of fat boiled from the fat of wild animals, and they are lit during the day, illuminating the house very brightly.
Hundreds of school-age children sat upright on the ground, looking at Chu Tian standing in front of the room with serious expressions, holding charcoal in their hands, and following Chu Tian to learn words and depict talismans on the bluestone slab one by one.
Behind these children, Eagle Elder and a few other village elders, as well as some strong men with leisure time, also sat there with serious faces, listening to Chu Tian's lecture seriously.
They also held charcoal pens and carefully wrote on the stone slabs.
Even if their brains are not as flexible as those of children, and it is very difficult to learn, these village elders and strong men still grit their teeth and study seriously with a trace of sacred piety.
Back three months ago, after Chu Tian had finished rectifying the first furnace forged by fusing red copper with other metals, he suddenly proposed that he teach the children in the village words and talismans.
Chu Tian wants to be lazy, this kind of extremely low-level entry-level refining furnace, as long as you know how to depict the talisman, you can forge it by painting a gourd in the same way, and you don't need any advanced skills and cultivation at all.
If he can teach a group of qualified apprentices in the village, he will not need to make calcined copper water by himself!
In a pure lazy mood, Chu Tian proposed to open a school to teach knowledge to the children of the village.
When the eagle elders learned what Chu Tian wanted to teach them, several village elders knelt in front of Chu Tian in tears, and knelt down like worshipping their ancestral gods.
Legend has it that the people of Daze, their ancestors were proficient in all kinds of skills, whether it was forging, brewing, weaving, or animal husbandry, there was nothing they could not do.
However, I don't know when, their descendants fell to the great ze, they forgot a lot of precious knowledge, and cut off many inheritances. Even a bowl of bland water wine has become a 'luxury' for the villagers!
As far as the eagle elders know, there are only three or four villages within a radius of three or four thousand miles that still retain ancestral crafts.
A village worships the god of wine, and they make wine.
A village worships the god of craftsmen, and they will strike iron.
A village worships the god of medicine, and they will heal the sick.
A village worships the god of war, and the warriors in their village can defeat three or four ordinary warriors with one piece, and it is the strongest village in combat power within a radius of three or four thousand miles. If it weren't for the fact that the descendants of the god of war were too good to eat, the prey they got on weekdays couldn't feed too many clansmen, and they would have been able to dominate the village within a radius of three or four thousand miles long ago.
In any case, knowledge, in this great abundance, means wealth, means power, means a more stable and secure life.
In the past three months, Chu Tian has been busy with the matter of forging, while teaching knowledge in classes, and helping the village to give advice back and forth.
In the past three months, hundreds of children in the village, their eyes that are as ignorant as stones have been filled with smart light. This light has another name - 'wisdom'!
What Chu Tian taught them was the common script of the Fallen Star Ocean.
But the knowledge he explained was not the classics of the Fallen Star Ocean spiritual cultivators - in this Daze, there was a strange power that suppressed the mana and soul fluctuations, and if the spiritual power and heavenly power could not be cultivated, those spiritual classics and heavenly cultivation classics were useless.
He taught a lot of things, including mineralogy, zoology, botany, inductive analysis, and he also explained some of the most basic principles of chemistry and mechanics. He focused on metallurgy, how to identify the properties of materials, and how to smelt stronger materials.
He even lectured on some architectural theories, how to build taller and stronger houses, how to build stronger walls, and how to strengthen walls and houses with talismans.
Yes, Fu Zhengxue.
Chu Tian found that in this Daze, both spiritual cultivation and heavenly cultivation methods would be sealed away from all their powers.
However, on the golden lamp condensed by the "Great Dream Divine Codex", the various runes that appeared around those various heavenly seals, as well as the most basic runes that Chu Tian had learned before, these things represented the most basic laws between heaven and earth, but they could be used freely.
Therefore, Chu Tian handed over to them the most basic and simplest runes around the Golden Lamp Fire Heavenly Seal, and the introductory runes that he knew, and selected those that these children could understand, memorize, and use.
At the edge of the village, the earthen enclosure, which was originally more than one zhang high, has been turned into a city wall three zhang high and one zhang wide after three months of hard work.
As far as the villagers are concerned, they generally have more than 50 dragon strength, and they worked for a while, dug a little dirt, and built such a city wall, which only took thousands of villagers half a month, and really did not spend much strength.
Although it is a city wall made of earth, there are runes carved by Chutian's apprentices with copper ore powder on the city wall, and after calcining and smelting the runes carved by these powders into one with a large fire, these runes emit high temperature on their own, calcining the runes made of soil into a material that is as hard as rock.
Later, Chutian asked the apprentices to reprocess the city wall.
The apprentices carved various reinforced defensive talismans on the city wall with axes forged from fire and copper, and Chu Tian personally triggered the power of these talismans, which made this city wall as hard as steel.
In this extremely backward Daze, such a wall can be called impregnable!
Chu Tian also knew in his heart that such a city wall might not be useful at all in Daze, but being idle is also idle, building a city wall and building a town, such an interesting thing, why not have a good time?
