Every time he thinks of this, Shang Wuji is filled with admiration. The infinite possibilities of the small Yinxiang are right here. Whether it is the Yunyan clan or the Wu Kingdom, what they learned from the Central Plains is called "faculty".
The cornerstone of Wu's hegemony came from this. There was even a "reform", and there was a legend about the "Great Demon of Gou Chen" in the Chu and Yue lands.
"The disputes between princes are like walking against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."
Shang Wuji's eyes were glaring, showing astonishing confidence. In addition to Li Li's foundation in the Yinxiang in front of him, he also had a stronghold in Zhiyi, Jiangbei.
As far as the "territory" of his rule is concerned, it is enough for Li Jie to form his own country.
Even for a king of a small country, isn't it normal for him to have several wives?
Others thought he was resigned to self-destruction, but they didn't know that this was just because he had seen further.
"I heard that the girl is very beautiful and good at weaving. My sister is fighting with her, I'm afraid she won't be able to..."
"It doesn't matter."
Shang Wuji was still so confident, "The Lotus Yue Girl is not only the Weaver Girl, but also a martyr girl."
"ha--"
There was another shout in unison, and in the low-hill playground, a Qiang dressed in bamboo armor, holding a spear in his hand, walked back and forth on the edge of the queue.
"stand!"
"One or two!"
The slightly twisted queue, accompanied by small steps, successfully reorganized the team.
A woman looked around and made a mistake, and was immediately pointed out by a spear: "Get out of the queue!"
"yes!"
"Spear!"
"yes!"
"Twenty stabs!"
"yes!"
The woman was sweating profusely and already a little tired, but following Qiang's order, she immediately held the bamboo pole and stabbed forward with all her strength.
"ha!"
"ha!"
"ha!"
…
After twenty blows in a row, the whole person felt as if he was exhausted, and his arms seemed to be no longer his own. When he stood up again, the bamboo pole in his hand was trembling.
"Enter the queue!"
"yes!"
The queue finally stabilized, and the entire playground was quite quiet. In the past, there were very few villagers watching outside the wicker fence.
Even if some people stopped to watch, they no longer laughed, but showed eyes of surprise and admiration.
Across the low hills, on the sunny side, half of the "Crocodile Men" are working with their laborers. A large number of logs are piled here, as well as hemp ropes, piled one after another in the temporary warehouse.
middle.
The remaining half of the "crocodile men" showed bitter faces one by one, staring hard at the sand table in front of them.
Each "crocodile man" holds a reed or branch in his hand, and more or less a word or half a word is written on the sand table.
If the writing is good, the expression is relaxed and slightly proud; if the writing is not good, the face is frowning and scratching the head and head.
Li Jie, on the other hand, had his hands behind his back, holding a cowhide whip in his hand, shaking it with each step, his eyes quite cold.
"Gua, you wrote it wrong again."
"yes……"
The "crocodile man" named "Melon" honestly stretched out his left hand.
Snapped!
The cowhide whip struck his palm without any hesitation, even though Gua's eyes were as pitiful as those of a quail.
"The word "sha" means three points of water. If you are missing a little, make up for it."
"yes."
Literacy is not compulsory, but as long as you want to become a "Crocodile Man", you must be literate. This is compulsory.
An important rule set by Township Chief Li in Yin Township is that private fights are strictly prohibited. So, to distinguish whether a "Shaye" person is strong or weak, there must be signs.
This symbol is the "crocodile man".
Not all "Baisha brave men" are "crocodile men". "Crocodile men" will be selected from among the brave men. One of the important skills is literacy.
In the process, Li Jie brought several things to these illiterate people.
The first is rank, the second is sense of belonging, and the third is sense of honor.
Compared with ordinary Yinxiang villagers, it is obvious that the "Baisha Yongfu" has a higher level, and has a higher sense of identification with Yinxiang, Baisha and the boss Shou Li, and with it, a higher sense of belonging and honor.
.
Compared with the "Baisha Yongfu", the "Crocodile Men" are one step closer, because they are the strongest and most powerful minions in Yinxiang.
Compared with the hardships they suffer, the benefits they receive are also directly proportional to the hardships.
The distribution of spoils is optimal and maximum, and no one dares to challenge it, because Li Jie supports them, and Li Jie has set this rule.
You can do no production and have professional training; you can also do half production and half training.
But no matter which way, the public grain turned over to the new fields opened by the family will be converted into "salary" and distributed every month.
In other words, payment is exempted. This is the biggest difference in level.
You must know that if you don't farm, most people in "Shaye" rely on gathering, fishing and hunting, and these, because "Baisha" has become a Yinxiang, many "Shaye" near Baisha Village also have to collect what they collect.
Part of it is paid.
You don’t have to pay, but as long as you don’t pay, Yinxiang will not protect you with force.
Compared with killing the whole family, it is obviously more cost-effective to pay "protection fees".
It seems that Mayor Li's routine is very complicated, but in fact it is very simple. It is nothing more than evaluating professional titles, evaluating advanced people, and evaluating the March 8th Red Flag Bearers...
But this still made Shang Xiaomei stunned, especially when she saw that her future husband actually taught a bunch of savages to read, her outlook on life was severely damaged.
Why is the savage leader literate? Why is the savage leader teaching the savages how to read? Why don’t I recognize the words written by the savage leader?
Am I the only one who is illiterate?
Shang Xiaomei, who was doubting her life, suddenly understood how powerful her brother was, and could actually see the hidden extraordinary power of a savage leader.
I'll just be a concubine.
Shang Xiaomei said in her heart.
The daily "cultural class" is a fixed item. Li Jie did not miss Shang Xiaomei's arrival, so he distorted the teaching content.
If illiterate people want to get rid of illiteracy, the quick way is stupid. Memorize by rote and train, results will be produced in three days and results will be produced in seven days, and after a year, you will be a lively and fresh cultural person!
"rest."
The shadow of the hands of the crudely made sundial moved for about an hour, and Li Jie ordered the "cultural class" to end the break.
"present!"
One of the "Crocodile Man" captains stood up and shouted.
Wow! Bang!
All the "Crocodile Men" stood up, stood at attention, and then saluted Li Jie before disbanding and resting in small groups.
Different from the time when Li Jie passed through the probation period, today's illiterate savages have goals to work hard for and live an extremely fulfilling life every day. Although such goals are forced upon them by Li Jie.
For example, right now, one of their goals this month is to write a complete sentence using words on the sandbox.
Communication has become necessary. Some illiterate people are very proficient in the word "sha" and know it by heart. Some illiterate people remember the word "女" for a long time. Some illiterate people cannot remember how to write the word "人".
When you move, you will spread your legs, and you will be a person. Your arms will be horizontal... which means "big".
Adults are "adults".
In order to achieve their goals, the illiterate people racked their brains and used their amazing imagination.
Of course, the rewards for achieving the goals and the penalties for not achieving the goals are also motivating them.
"Is Shouli trying to educate the people of Yinxiang?"
"What do Shang Ji think?"
Mayor Li casually picked up a big peach from the fruit plate, rubbed it twice, and handed it to Miss Shang.
Taking the big peach with both hands, Shang Xiaomei took a bite gently, and the juice flew everywhere. It was extremely sweet, which was obviously a bit beyond her expectation.
Just as she was about to wipe away the juice from the corners of her mouth, she saw Li Jie stretch out his fingers to wipe away the peach juice from the corners of her mouth and cheeks, and then... lick the juice from his fingers with his tongue.
Seeing Li Jie's behavior, Miss Shang's eyes widened, she turned around and ran away with a red face, not even daring to look back.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
When Mayor Li saw her running away, he immediately burst out laughing, laughing very wildly and arrogantly.
