It has been about a year since the Horse Whistle created the Apache script.

During this year, he served as a teacher for hundreds of people. The teaching content is extremely simple, basically belonging to the content of primary school, but the teaching pressure is unprecedentedly huge.

Giving a lecture to a group of Stone Age people, the weak foundation of the students and the difficulty of communication were all things that he had never seen in his previous life, and he had never even thought about it.

Coupled with the uneven age and progress of the students, but fortunately, Ma Whistle is a professional teacher, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to last even a month.

But everything was difficult at the beginning, and after persevering through this most difficult beginning, the situation finally gradually improved.

The curriculum in the lower grades and literacy classes is almost unattendant, and there are a number of outstanding graduates who can take on the teaching work for him.

Now the senior class has finally ushered in the first batch of graduates, and there are only five people in total: Rainy Day, Long Stick, Wind Sound, Steppe Wolf, and Mouse Hunt.

They were undoubtedly gifted, and after a maximum of one year of study, they had reached the level of mathematics equivalent to the upper grades of primary school in later generations, and it was more than enough to solve a system of binary equations.

can solve the binary system of equations, which is already quite strong, in the current Indian mathematics community, not to mention the emperor, the saint can still be called.

Don't say that it is an Indian, but in the future generations, a certain star is still using this academic tyrant.

The most important indicator of the knowledge level of senior students is the mathematics score.

The next content of these five graduates is also mathematics and physics, which Ma Whistle calls the "advanced course of mathematics and science", in this advanced class, he will teach the condensed science knowledge of middle school to five people, mainly junior high school.

As for high school knowledge, it is not necessary to teach it all, especially those that are highly exam-oriented, and most people forget it quickly after leaving school.

In the future, Ma Whistle's main teaching work was to "open a small stove" for these five people in the chief's hall, and the teaching of the senior grades was handed over to these five people to take care of, which was a lot easier all of a sudden.

Today's lesson is mainly about the axioms of geometry.

“…… The geometric knowledge I am talking about comes from ancient Greece 2,000 years ago, and the "Geometric Originals" that expounded this knowledge is the model and ancestor of all scientific knowledge in later generations. Later in your studies, you will come to understand the great 'axiomatic thought' and the source of power for the white man......"

The horse whistle spoke to the five men.

As a centurion in the army, the steppe wolf has a temperament of refusing to admit defeat, and he can't help but ask his own questions: "Teacher, I can't understand why science was first mastered by white people, and it was two thousand years ago?" ”

"yes, is it true that some white people say that they are a higher race?" Rat Hunter also sighed. His exclamation sounded naïve, but it was profound among the Indians, many of whom did not even recognize the fact that the white man was powerful.

"Certainly not because of white seniors." The horse whistle blurted out.

The rat hunter asked, "Then why did they invent science?" ”

"Because of the sea and commerce." "Water transport is the cheapest form of transport, and where there is a developed water transport, not only can goods be exchanged at a lower cost, but knowledge can also be exchanged at a lower cost." ”

"We send a book to Navajo, and it may take a cart of forage and a big bag of jerky on the way; And Athens sent a book to Crete, maybe a bag of bread would be enough......"

A few people were thoughtful, but still had questions: "However, ancient Greece is not the only place in the world where water transportation is developed, right?" ”

Ma Whistle nodded: "Indeed, but the commerce of ancient Greece was also very different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"The environment of ancient Greece was not suitable for agriculture, so they often had to import food from outside – in other words, no force could stop them from opening up and developing commerce, which was a survival need for them." Ma Whistle said.

"In contrast, where there is self-sufficiency, business becomes insignificant...... If that place was not only self-sufficient, but also had a government that knew to protect the peasants, the situation of the merchants would be even more humble. ”

"And Europe is not far from the civilization of the two rivers and ancient Egypt, in fact, the ancient Greek civilization is the common son of the civilization of the two rivers and the ancient Egyptian civilization, and Europe itself is full of countries, and the foreign culture is rich and diverse, which is also an important reason."

There was a moment of silence.

"Why are we so far behind?" "I feel like we're the most backward civilization in the world." ”

"Be confident, get rid of the 'I feel'." Ma Whistle joked. But it's basically true, even when compared to Africa, Indian civilization is just as backward.

The "......" wind was silent.

Ma Whistle thought that this stalk was not bad, but he didn't expect that no one in the room was laughing, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed: "Ahem...... The reasons for our backwardness are complicated, such as the isolation of the American continent, like um...... Actually, I haven't thought it through yet, so I'll tell you about it slowly when I think about it clearly. ”

He had already figured it out.

In the first year of his rebirth, he searched through the memories of "Guns, Germs and Steel" in his previous life in the real Indian society, and thought through many questions, including the reasons for the backwardness of the Indians.

But it was hard to explain for a while, and Ma Whistle felt that he should write a book.

The title of the book is still "Guns, Germs, and Steel", and the content is also roughly similar, the main difference is that the author, an Indian.

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson, remember to finish your homework."

Except for the horse whistle and the rainy day, the other four people left the chief hall one after another.

The two of them still have to continue the teacher-student activities here, but the positions are reversed, the teacher is the teacher on a rainy day, the horse whistle is the student, and the main content of the teaching is the language and history of the Indian peoples.

When the rain came, the horse whistle stopped looking for the long-haired Manchi language.

After all, Rainy Day is not only proficient in Comanche, but also proficient in seven other Indian languages, as well as more than a dozen less proficient Indian languages, which can be called an all-round Indian translator.

The lesson continued until a warrior came in and reported, "Great Chief, another clan is coming!" ”

The horse whistle and the rainy day immediately got up and went out to greet him, and then he saw a group of men, women, and children riding horses with all kinds of miscellaneous items in the distance.

Naturally, they responded to the order of the Great Chief and moved to the clan of Sleeping Bear.

Because of the battle of Arapaho, the horse whistle was already very prestigious, and now it is the big chief, and these clans are still more willing to obey.

Of course, it was the horse whistle who told them that building a city would bring more food, clothing, and better protection against foreign enemies.

After the sleeping bear was officially changed to a city, this was the third clan to move in, and there were more than a hundred people in sight.

However, when the horse whistle came into contact with this clan, he was surprised to find that they did not belong to the Plains tribe, and even to some extent did not belong to the Apache.

"You're Navajo?" The horse whistled and said.

The clan chieftain was an old man, and he rolled over and dismounted, his smile revealing his teeth: "Respected Great Chief of the Horse Whistle, we have heard your order from our brother clan and want to move to Sleeping Bear City as well. ”
