Chapter 0064 It’s now three o’clock in the afternoon!
The patriarch was also very curious about Ye Qing making such an inexplicable thing. He asked Ye Qing: "What is this?"
Ye Qing pulled the patriarch to the sundial on the platform and explained: "This is called a sundial, which measures time by measuring the shadow of the sun."
The patriarch's expression became solemn in an instant.
Anything related to the sun and the time represents God and supreme!
"This circle of rings represents a cycle of sunrise and sunset, that is, a day. There are twelve scales on this ring, representing twelve hours a day!"
“How to count the timing?”
"Look, does this copper rod have a shadow under the sun?"
"This shadow is now on this scale, well, noon, it is the deer... the deer!"
"Each hour is divided into eight scales, and the time division is more accurate... Look, the shadow is now on the third scale of noon, and now it is three o'clock!"
"With this sundial, it is much more convenient for us. For example, we will be scheduled to go out of work as soon as noon arrives. The tribe guarding the sundial can notify the tribe when the time is up, and the working tribe can go out of work at the same time, instead of being able to come back one after another like now."
"How to notify me? I made a bell. As long as I ring this bell, my clan members will know that they can get off work when they hear the bell."
There is also a wooden shelf on the platform, on which is hung a bronze cylinder made of bronze plates.
This is what Ye Qing said!
For the bell, Ye Qing didn't think about casting a bronze bell that was specially used for the ancient times, with a large trumpet.
There is no problem with the casting process of the bronze bell, mainly because it is too material and he is reluctant to leave it.
Now the tribe's copper ore is completely relied on children to pick it up. This amount is OK to make tools such as axes. It is unnecessary to cast bronze bells, which are used in large quantities and are not necessary.
The amount of copper used to cast a bronze bell is enough to cast dozens of axes.
He thought of rolling a bronze plate into such a cylindrical shape first, and just use it first.
Why is this a clock too!
Ye Qing was in elementary school. At that time, there were no electric bells. He rang the bells in class. The bells in school were a rusty iron pipe. After class, the teacher used a wooden stick to ring the iron pipe a few times, and it was the bell.
This is pretty good!
There is no iron pipe in the primary school next door. I don’t know where the teacher found an abandoned shovel and hung it with a rope, and it will be a clock.
Why an abandoned shovel?
No one throws away good shovels. Every household's shovels are very precious. Even if they are used, they are reluctant to throw them away. The shovels are like monk's Zen sticks. They can be used from one end to a crescent shovel on the other end.
Ye Qing held a wooden stick and struck the bell a few times.
Dangdangdangdang!
"In the future, when the food is set to be eaten, the people who are in charge of the food will knock it hard for a few times, and the tribe members can come back to have dinner at the same time."
Will any tribe members not hear it?
No!
The hanging position of this bell is on a high platform, without obstacles. In this era without sound pollution, when ringing hard, the bell spreads very far, and it can still be heard within a distance of one or two miles.
Most of the working tribe members still engage in brick making, logging, collecting, and going to the fields, and their range of activities is not far away.
The patriarch touched the sundial and looked at the clock again, excited!
The Windbreaker can also measure the sun and the sky!
The Fangfeng family can also measure the sun and the sky by itself, just like the Wang Mang Kingdom and the Dayu Kingdom!
What Ye Qing said about establishing a country and establishing the Fangfeng family's own country can really be realized!
He had always been half-believing and half-doubted about what Ye Qing said about the founding of the country, but because the founding of the country was also the dream that the leader and witch of the Fangfeng clan who took it as his mission to develop and strengthen the Fangfeng clan, he had always been hiding in his heart, so he agreed to Ye Qing's plan.
He is also a person with dreams!
He cried again, this time with tears of joy!
...
On this day, something big happened that made all the tribe members happy.
People from the five clans ran around and told each other, smiling, and many people cried with joy.
The rice is blooming!
It’s too late for the second season of rice that is so long during the normal rice planting season, and it’s so full.
When the rice blooms, it will produce seeds. When the rice blooms, it will naturally grow rice.
It's saved!
Without rice reserves, people of the tribe always feel uneasy when they rely on fishing alone.
Fishing is fishing and hunting. The source of this food is extremely unstable. In the impression of the tribe, it is hungry and full.
That is not the life that the farming nation should live!
The farming nation still trusts food!
Only by having food reserves can you truly be calm and truly confident and proud.
Many people knelt on the ground, thanking God for their blessing.
However, immediately some tribe members pulled up these tribe members who were kneeling down to worship the gods.
I was wrong to bow down!
This is not a blessing from God. The planting of rice in these two seasons is from the Qing Church. This is the credit of Qing. If you want to kneel down, you will also bow down to Qing!
So, when Ye Qing watched the five clans one after another kneeling in front of him one after another... he was confused!
Is this doing that again?
Ye Qing was also very happy to find out that it was rice blossoming, and he also put down a stone in his heart.
Second-season rice is feasible!
He could already see the grand scenery of Guman Cang.
There are now about 800 people in the tribe, and 400 acres of paddy fields will be reclaimed at the beginning of next year. Together with the current 400 acres, it will be 800 acres.
With these 800 acres of paddy fields, planted for two seasons, the tribe's people would have more than enough food.
Fishing and hunting are no longer necessary.
The prosperity and prosperity of the tribe is just around the corner.
Only when agriculture has surplus output can he support full-time handicraftsmen and cultivate his own force.
Although judging from the current understanding, the environment around the tribe is still relatively harmonious and safe, he did not forget that it is now the primitive and wilderness era.
Without enough force to protect oneself, the survival of the tribe will be difficult to last.
Ye Qing came to the edge of the paddy field.
There were more people around here. When Ye Qing arrived, they all knelt down to Ye Qing!
Even the four tribes who later joined the Five Tribes, Ye Qing's deified halo had no strong influence on them, and it was no exception at this time, and he also knelt in front of Ye Qing.
In the face of this miraculous miracle, their awe and surrender were not inferior to those of the Fangfeng clan.
What a miracle this is!
Planting rice in such a season can still blossom. This is something that a true god can do!
The deified halo above Ye Qing's head illuminated infinitely in front of them.
Ye Qing's image has become infinitely tall and radiant in their eyes.
Although he had experienced it several times, when he saw the tribesmen kneeling in front of him again, Ye Qing was still filled with shock and emotion.
A simple person!
So simple and cute!
Looking at these cute tribe members, Ye Qing was full of excitement and said loudly:
"We have now proven that rice can be planted for two seasons!"
"Next year, we will reclaim another 400 acres of land, and there will be a total of 800 acres of land. After planting two seasons of rice, we will not be able to eat the rice we harvest! We will no longer have to go hungry! We will no longer have to migrate everywhere!"
"We can take a big step forward to the paradise we are about to build!"
"We will eventually build our country and our paradise!"
Countless tribesmen at the scene shouted in an instant:
"Our country!"
“Our paradise!”
Chapter completed!
