The two sides of the dispute quarreled to Ye Qing.
After learning about the content of the dispute between the two sides, Ye Qing first praised the Fengfeng women.
She was doing things according to the rules set by Ye Qing. Yes, she did a good job and wanted to praise her!
Although the rules are a bit rigid and cause some waste of resources, having rules is much better than noting them.
With the current conditions, Ye Qing cannot create a more effective and flexible management system.
He has the system in his heart, but there is no one who can implement it!
He is already very satisfied with the fact that these rules can be implemented by the tribe.
After praising the women of Fangfeng, Ye Qing asked Sang curiously:
"Why are your tools not enough? The tools assigned to each group for digging should be enough. I don't see other groups saying that the tools are not enough!"
Sang, who made a mistake, was very ashamed and blushed. After Ye Qing's careful questioning, he hesitated to explain the cause and effect of the matter.
Nani?
Learn how to croak in the middle of the night?
Talent!
Although Sang's enthusiasm for working actively is commendable, he can't do this!
Not to mention the process of making bricks, the team members get up so early every day and work for so long every day, which will lead to problems.
Not everyone is as energetic and physically strong as Sang.
After explaining the truth to Sang clearly and asking him not to do this again, he asked Sang to go back to the brickyard.
No tools?
Team members take turns to rest!
I get up so early, I can't overdraw my energy.
What he fears most now is that someone gets sick. He can still think about many things, but he is helpless about getting sick.
Although my sister Alan was cured, it was just a cold. It was still a blind cat who hit the mouse and was touching it.
After Sang left, Ye Qing thought about it. He found that he had a huge problem in management, and the time for work was not clear.
This is no big problem when people of all races are still very enthusiastic.
But enthusiasm will fade.
After the enthusiasm fades, human selfish nature will be exposed.
This has nothing to do with hard work!
"Look, that fool went to work so early again. He did so much work, but he still had three meals a day. If he worked more, he wouldn't have to pay more of your house. He was so stupid!"
"They were all resting, and they said I was stupid. Why did I work so hard? After building a house, they didn't just live alone, they lived there too. Forget it, I'd better take a break first. When they start working, I'll work with them!"
“…”
This is human nature, human nature.
If you find the problem, you need to solve it!
How to solve it?
There are no clocks in this era!
He racked his brains and thought of a word: morning bell and dusk drum.
The ancients who had no clocks used bells and drums to report the time.
But bells and drums are just tools for reporting time rather than timing, so what did the ancients use to accurately time?
Sundial!
The ancient civilizations of the East and the West all adopted the same timing method... sundial projection to measure time!
Thinking of this, he found that the tribe had no sundials and no guidu. The sundials could determine the time of every day, and the guidu could determine the season of each year.
In this era, tribes may not need to determine the exact time of day.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset!
This is enough!
But the season cannot be uncertain. The farming race does not know how to plant rice in the season?
How do tribes know when to plant rice every year?
Curious, Ye Qing asked the patriarch.
The patriarch said:
"Spring Festival!"
"Every year when everything is so beautiful, Wang Mangguo will hold a spring festival to tell every tribe how many days after the spring festival can start planting rice!"
"How did Wang Mangguo determine the time of the spring festival?"
The patriarch showed a thoughtful expression and recalled the scene when he participated in the Wang Mangguo Spring Festival.
He drew a box of the zigzag on the ground and then pointed the middle point of the zigzag.
"There are such figures on the altar of Wang Mangguo..."
"The great witch of Wang Mangguo stood in this position, then looked at the sun, the sun just came out, the sun set, and then you know when to plant rice!"
"I don't know what I think!"
Awesome!
It seems that the great witches of Wang Mangguo have mastered the method of dividing the solar terms for one year!
Ye Qing knew that the ancients used the gui table to distinguish the summer solstice, winter solstice, spring equinox and autumnal equinox, but he did not understand how the great witches of Wang Mangguo determined the solar term through the figures of the characters on the altar.
He was very curious.
But there is no way to figure out this issue yet.
Putting aside the curiosity in his heart, Ye Qing began to solve the tribe's timing problem.
The solar term requires a long time to compare and cannot be solved for a while. Now it follows the tribe's long-term habits.
He began to solve the problem of daily timing.
Making a sundial!
The sundial must be placed in the sun and needs to withstand the sun and rain.
What materials should I use?
Bronze is prone to rust, and the surface scale will be unaware after a long time.
Moreover, the sundial he was preparing to make was quite large. If it was cast in bronze, the amount of bronze would be used, which he was a little reluctant to let it go.
If it is made of pottery, it is cheap and easy to deal with, but the pottery is fragile and not suitable.
After thinking about it, it is best to use stone as materials.
He first made a sample of a sundial with mud.
The finished sundial, the sundial disc and the base are at an angle of 60 degrees.
Without the specific dimensions of this place, this angle is not accurate enough, but it is enough for the tribe now.
How did this angle come from?
Ye Qing didn't know the local latitude and longitude, but he had heard of the mysterious latitude and latitude of 30 degrees north.
There are many magical things happening in this dimension, one of which Ye Qing remembers very clearly, that is, the birthplaces of the four major civilizations are all around 30 degrees north latitude.
Liangzhu is at 30 degrees north latitude!
Then take 30 degrees north latitude as the dimension of this place.
Therefore, when the sundial is placed horizontally on the projection measurement time, the sundial's dial is roughly parallel to the equatorial plane, facing the sun sideways, rather than facing the sun head-on.
The sundial needle is perpendicular to the sundial plate, and the upper end points to the north pole and the lower end points to the south pole.
Under the sunlight, the shadow of the sundial needle in summer falls on the top of the sundial plate, and the shadow of the sundial needle in winter falls on the bottom of the sundial plate.
Both sides of the sundial plate are engraved with the same scale.
You can see the position of the sunlight projection on the scale to know the time.
Ye Qing didn't know why the ancients divided a day into twelve hours, so he divided a day into twelve hours according to the ancients' practices.
It is a bit coincidental that ancient India divided 6 hours a day, and ancient Egypt divided 24 hours a day.
They are all multiples of 6!
Why not ten hours? Isn’t decimal system very useful?
If we use sundials to measure time, we need to divide the circle evenly, 2, 4, 8, 16 is not easier to divide equally? Why not 8, 16 hours?
Ye Qing didn't know if it was a coincidence or some reason.
If you can’t figure it out, Ye Qing doesn’t think about it anymore, just copy it.
The leaves of the sundial dial have been thoughtful.
There is no text now. The twelve simplified Chinese characters he wrote about Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen You Xu Hai, and the clansmen don’t understand them.
Therefore, Ye Qing engraved simple drawings of animals that are more familiar to the twelve tribes on the twelve scales, such as rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, and pig.
Oh, by the way, the clan members had never seen a horse, so Ye Qing replaced the horse with a deer.
Chapter completed!
