Many people have started to use dollar coins and Spanish silver dollars as currency, but there are still some people who don't know much about it.

"That's it." I shook a few coins without drinking, there were gold coins, silver coins, and of course more cents.

"Why use white people's coins, are shell beads bad?" Some people argued.

But more people have already identified with these gold, silver and copper coins with numbers: "These coins are made of metal, and they have numbers, which are much better than shell beads!" How old have these years, who still uses shell beads? ”

"You don't know numbers, do you?"

"No, there really isn't anyone who doesn't know numbers, right?"

Even if someone doesn't know the numbers, they are naturally embarrassed to admit it. However, it should be a minority, and the minimum requirement for literacy classes is for everyone to know the numbers and their own names.

Without drinking, he said, "These coins are indeed more convenient." The chief said that in the future we will have our own metal coins, but for now we will only use white ...... In fact, this acquisition of spirits is also to promote the currency, and most of you know the numbers. ”

"If you have to ask for shell beads, I can also give them to you, as long as you don't come to me if you suffer a loss in the future."

A few people who wanted to use shell beads or barter were discouraged, and they had to join most of them in accepting dollars or Spanish silver dollars from the liquor and pharmacy.

A large bag of spirits was four dollars, and the liquor pharmacy bought more than four hundred bags in total, for which it paid close to two thousand dollars.

The people lost their liquor, but all at once they got a lot of good and easy money.

In the past, people bartered for all kinds of inconveniences, but now with more convenient currency, many people are suddenly ignited to do business, and they want to discuss the price of everything they see.

Economic activities within the Sleeping Bear clan gradually became richer.

Another month or so passed.

April.

Spring.

During this month, Ma Whistle's life is still busy, if not more busy. The addition of two more Apache clans has increased the size of the Sleeping Bear Clan and brought him more affairs.

Exercising, dealing with clan affairs, learning English, learning Manchi, teaching, training...... He had to do all these things.

At the same time, for long-term considerations, sleep cannot be missing, so he has almost no time for entertainment, and he can only entertain with his clansmen, such as holding a party.

Extreme busyness, barely enough sleep, almost non-existent entertainment.

Fortunately, the horse whistle in this life has far more energy and strong execution than ordinary people, if you stay in the fat house body and mind in the previous life, this kind of work intensity, it is estimated that you will have to lie down for a week.

As his work progressed, he could feel that his people's recognition of him was gradually deepening. In the past, his admirers were mainly from the military, but now the whole clan began to permeate more and more admiration for him.

He doesn't reject the worship of him, and probably no one rejects such a thing.

But this worship is always mixed with all kinds of strange things, which makes him feel entangled, but he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Choosing to admit or acquiesce is contrary to one's own philosophy.

I choose to explain, and it's hard to explain it to so many people. It can't be explained in the first place, for example, Ma Whistle once said that he had never seen the Great Spirit, and the people who heard this still thought that he was the messenger of the Great Spirit - what does it have to do with whether you have seen the Great Spirit or not? I don't care, you are the Great Spirit.

If you choose to stop it by force, you may hurt the feelings of your people and undermine your authority.

So on this issue of faith, Ma Whistle once again chose to let it go, a bit of an evasion.

But for now, at least, this evasion has not done him any damage, and his authority in the clan is still growing day by day, and no one dares to disrespect or oppose him......

On the clan square, nearly three hundred warriors were neatly arranged in a phalanx, and a large number of clansmen were watching.

The soldiers did not ride horses, because it was infantry time.

All wore simple linen shirts and jeans, including a horse sentry standing at the front of the queue, which was the current military uniform of the Sleeping Bear Clan.

Judging by the clothing alone, without the feathers on their heads, the attire of these Indian warriors would have been almost white in style.

Ma Whistle didn't really like this style, he preferred the various military uniforms of later generations, but that was not practical for the time being. The outfit of this shirt and jeans is at least much better than what the people used to look like.

In the past, the clansmen wore either simple and wide leather clothes, or rough and ragged cloth clothes, and when the weather was a little warmer, they would directly expose their upper bodies, and often had to apply various pigments on their skin to demonstrate their martial arts.

These elements that made the military look messy, the horse whistle led by example, all of them were abandoned, and they were replaced with simple and practical clothing, and only the feathers on their heads were retained.

"Chiefs, you should already know the results of the cultural assessment." The horse whistle shouted to the warriors.

Before the words fell, the faces of many elders showed nervousness, but they were already familiar with the discipline in the army, and they still held their heads high and did not say a word.

Ma Whistle continued to shout: "Today is the drill assessment, and the total result of the two assessments together is the result of this month's long assessment. ”

"In addition to that, three centurions will be born today!"

Centurion!

The horse sentry had told the soldiers about this position a few months earlier, and when they heard the news, their eyes lit up.

"You should still remember the rules for the generation of centurions, and I repeat, the three people who have accumulated the highest assessment results in the past few months and have no disciplinary records are centurions."

"Alright, now the assessment has officially begun!"

The content of the assessment includes queues, physical fitness, fighting, tactics, etc., starting with the infantry assessment, but more importantly, the assessment on horseback.

The assessment lasted all morning, and the horse sentry recorded the results of each commander in each assessment, and also paid attention to the performance of the soldiers.

In previous assessments, some soldiers who performed well were also rewarded, mainly Eagle Feathers.

After the assessment, Ma Whistle used the lunch break to sort out the results, and then announced the results in the afternoon.

"The top three overall results are Steppe Wolf, Thick Shoulders, and Solo Look. From this day forward, you are the centurions of the clan army! The whistle announced.

He then presented each of the three centurions with a blue shirt and an armband as the centurion's emblem.

The three centurions were very happy, and the onlookers were also excited.

The horse whistle also breathed a sigh of relief, the three centurions had reached a decent level in all aspects, enough to share a lot of army work for him. He's been too busy lately.

"Steppenwolf."

"Here!" The steppe wolf, who had just become a centurion, answered excitedly.

Ma Sentry nodded: "I have assigned you a mission." ”
