Chapter 16: The Dilemma of Enlightenment and 'Literacy' That's all for the language setting.)

At the center of the tribe, the witch doctor's courtyard was once again excavated with the efforts of the warriors.

"Hey, hey...."

Several teams of troll warriors carried the first base of mud slabs into the ground, and the 'books' piled up in the open air in the courtyard were reduced little by little, and all of them were carried before nightfall.

After that, the four witch doctors, including Bladefang, smiled with relief as they looked at the final result of piling up several basements.

"Blade Fang, this, the last clay tablet, should be put by you."

The old witch doctor took a clay tablet with the words 'Principles of Magic' written on it, and handed it to Blade Fang's hand.

Well, it's finally over, and it's been a long time. ’

Blade Fang looked at the clay tablet in his hand and sighed silently.

"Once upon a time, when I was young, I didn't dare to think about this scene. Only one prime year ring, more than several generations of sages! Blade teeth, high power! ”

"My own business begins with the accumulation of ancestors, I don't dare to take credit, the credit comes from the witch doctors."

"Haha, a new era will rise, and we will advance together."

The old witch doctor finally said this, and the three of them nodded yes.

What they were talking about was the Principle of Sorcery, which had been finalized after countless workshops and the 'academic achievements' of the three witch doctors had been added to Bladefang's original idea.

The clay tablets, which had been piled up in several basements and barely filled, were undoubtedly far beyond all the accumulated knowledge of our predecessors. This work contains the countless efforts of the four witch doctors.

"What are you worried about the classification of the new system and the enlightenment of young children?"

Back in the conference room, the old troll asked after using pyrophon to ignite the newly built fireplace and the lamps on the walls that were fueled by animal fat and twisted from the hair of the burn-resistant monsters.

"The light of the night, the wonders, the greatness of magic?"

The tribal chief, who was also prepared to participate in the discussion that followed, had a palpable envy in his tone.

Maybe it's because the wood in the Black Forest is generally too wet, or maybe it's some other unknown reason, but among the tribes who haven't been able to point out the 'drill wood for fire' skill, the scene in the conference room is truly incredible.

"The young child was taught, I agree with the old witch doctor's theory, and the rest of the Blade Fang, or me, Fangs (the Chinese witch doctor who studied the 'Wind Wolf Meditation Method') meditation method, was too difficult at the beginning, and it was not beneficial."

"Rough teeth are reasonable, I also think so, to be taught, the threshold can be low and not high; The road ahead is not too late to start from the level of 'Magic Crystal Spellcasting'. ”

The Sharptooth Witch Doctor agreed, and asked again,

"Bladetooth, how's that?"

"Geometric meditation method.... Optimum. ”

"That being said, I have tried my best to simplify the paper and make it easy to learn; and the second seminar with you to draw up the constitution. ”

The old witch doctor replied, then looked at the chief who was listening, and continued to ask,

"Warrior 'literacy', how?"

"Uh... Difficult... So far, new words and new words have been popularized; But there are no more than 100 people who know 'pinyin', and less than 20 people who can read and write..."

"Since the delivery, it has passed the half-prime ring, why less?"

"Old witch doctor, warriors need to hunt, gather, defend, heavy burden, really have no leisure, and ....."

The chief gritted his fangs, and stopped talking in embarrassment, and finally said ruthlessly,

"And, the witch doctor, you taught, only I have four warriors, and since then I have focused on the study of 'magic', and I have not been taught.... Warriors are generally dull, and with only five of us, it is not easy to popularize a single new language... How much more about teaching words? I can't take care of it. ”

"Moreover, there are many people who say 'don't learn', and they are useless to hunting, and they don't want to learn.... The current results depend on compulsion. ”

The four witch doctors looked at each other and realized how difficult the problem was...

"It's our negligence, it's a pity that time.... Guys, have a plan? ”

After the old witch doctor's voice fell, the conference room fell silent for a while, after all, such a thing as 'countermeasures' is not something that can be found by patting the head...

"I have a shallow opinion."

In the silence, the voice of Blade Fang rang out, and after seeing everyone's attention being focused, he began to speak his thoughts.

Due to the complexity of the discussion, Bladefang stumbled in troll language for a long time before he could fully express his meaning and complete the exchange of meaning with the other witch doctors.

Basically, their dialogue is as follows (from here, the following chapters don't imitate some hellish 'primitive troll language', I really can't change it.... As for the new readers, I can only say that in the previous setting, the protagonist directly popularized Chinese characters and modern Chinese grammar when he 'made characters', so these dialogues were feasible according to the logic of that time. But wasn't it persuaded by readers to change the setting before..... )

"If I had to come up with a feasible solution, I really wouldn't have the ability. So, what I want to express next is 'ideas'. ”

"First, 'learning' is a work that relies on 'initiative', especially for soldiers who don't have enough time, and we have to make them understand why they need to be literate. To do this, we must first unify our own perceptions and reach a consensus on a small scale. From the tribe as a whole to the individual trolls, what are the benefits of making the warriors literate? After that, the ideological work for the fighters was carried out with a unified conclusion. ”

"Second, as the chief said before, 'the hunting burden is heavy', that is, there is no spare time, right? This requires the question, why is there not enough time, and what are we lacking and what can be done in order to increase this time? ”

Hearing this, all the trolls present were thoughtful, and the old troll bowed his head and said,

"Well, if you have a clear understanding of your needs, you can discuss it. Let's talk about the benefits first, from the whole to the individual.... I'll start with a start. ”

"Well, you please."

"Please."

.....

"Then let me talk about the whole, the emergence of 'writing' has made the accumulation and inheritance of knowledge more convenient, and the innovation of the 'magic' system has lowered the threshold for transforming knowledge into power. And 'innovation and development' not only needs a genius like Blade Tooth to promote it on his own, but also needs an ordinary witch doctor like me to act as a cornerstone. ”

Blade Tooth only smiled shyly when he heard this, and clasped his head in a sign of humility, and did not interject to interrupt the old witch doctor's speech.

"Genius is hard to come by, and there is only one such one in countless generations; But witch doctors like me are different, as long as there is a 'civilized' soil to nurture them, they will always appear one after another. ”

"So, 'civilization' is necessary. And if they don't want to continue to be savage, then for the tribe, mastering 'knowledge' will no longer be the responsibility of a few witch doctors, but will become an important goal for all tribes after 'survival'. ”

"Therefore, the literacy of fighters must be carried out urgently."
