In a corner of the courtyard of the Qingque Tribe, the stonemason was squatting there, hammering away with a hammer and a drill.
In front of him was a stone slab nearly two meters long, more than half a meter wide, and more than thirty centimeters thick.
The two sides of the stone slab are relatively flat, with some words written on them, written with a brush.
At this time, the wood is being chipped slowly along these writings with a drill.
This job is much more difficult than his previous work of chiseling stone mortars, because it is a meticulous job that cannot be done sloppily.
Fortunately, patience is something that wood has never been short of. Although the frequency of chiseling was not fast, as he kept moving, he was still able to chisel many words.
Amidst such tinkling sounds, after another three days, the Qingque tribe once again sounded the clapper that attracted people to gather.
Amidst the vibration of drums and the explosion of burning firecrackers, this large stone slab, which was carefully carved from wood, was carried out of the tribe by several strong laborers in the tribe and came to the outside of the gate of the tribe.
A platform over one meter long, half a meter wide and half a meter high has been built here using stones and cement.
A depression forty centimeters deep was left in the middle of the table.
With the efforts of everyone, the lower part of the big stone slab was placed into the depression in the middle of the stone platform.
After the slate was straightened, someone immediately stuffed small stones into the gap between the slate and the stone platform.
After firmly supporting the stone slab with stones, cement was poured into it to firmly build the stone here.
The top of the stone is tied with a line of red linen dyed with red vines, making the stone look festive but also solemn.
Under the red cloth strip, that is, on the upper part of the big stone slab, three large characters are carved - "Continuous Sitting Method".
Below are rows of small characters, which are all about the sitting method.
At the bottom of the continuous sitting method are the characters "Li in the eighth month of the eighth year of Qingque".
On the back of the stone slab is engraved the Law Against False Accusations.
After engraving the legislation on stone and placing it where everyone can see it, the purpose is to increase the weight of these two things in people's hearts.
At the same time, everyone is always reminded not to treat these two things as child's play, and never forget them.
In front of everyone, Han Cheng pointed to the words on the stone tablet and read them word for word with a serious expression.
"You all remember, once you commit this matter, don't think about asking me to show mercy!"
After finishing reading, Han Cheng reiterated to everyone.
None of the slaves said a word, but they felt heavy in their hearts, as if these two rules and the large stone tablet engraved with these two rules were weighing on their hearts. No one dared to despise...
Junior Brother Sha took his people and some of the newly harvested grain this year, and took Meng, the defector, back to Tongshan to continue the development of Tongshan.
Two newly promoted citizens, Tian and Jiao, stayed in the main tribe.
First, they came because they already had citizenship. If they went there again, the number of citizens in the Tongshan residential area would exceed Han Cheng's previous thoughts.
Secondly, these two people staying in the tribe are naturally two excellent examples that can inspire the slaves of the Qingque tribe.
So when Junior Brother Sha left, Han Chenggong selected three people from the slaves and asked Junior Brother Sha to take them to the Tongshan residential area. In this way, the fifteen slaves in Tongshan could form three groups.
With the departure of Junior Brother Sha and others, the turmoil caused by the escape of slaves gradually subsided in the Qingque tribe, and the tribe's life returned to normal.
Autumn is a harvest season, but it is also a food storage season.
At this time in the past, everyone in the Qingque tribe would have been concentrating on storing food to prepare for the cold winter.
But since they started farming, they no longer do this, because the largest batch of food was taken into the tribe not long ago, filling many rooms.
With such a batch of food, everyone felt much more at ease.
So while many tribes are cheering to eat and pick food in the autumn wilderness, a large part of the Qingque tribe's labor force is still continuing to build walls here.
As for picking fruits, most of them are the work of women who are not very strong, as well as the elderly and minors.
Nowadays, it is much more convenient and faster for the Qingque tribe to pick fruits, because the fruit trees planted around the tribe have grown up and many of them are bearing fruits.
The original orchard, under the guidance of Han Cheng and with Bugs Bunny as the gardener, has been expanded a lot.
Many fruit trees planted early have already begun to bear fruit at this time.
And this old fruit tree, after artificial pruning, weeding, fertilizing, and watering, gradually began to bear more fruit.
Under the clear sky, sometimes some wild geese will fly through the sky in neat formations.
Flying all the way, leaving behind a loud cry along the way.
In the goose pen of the Qingque tribe, after hearing such a sound, one or two such calls will be heard from time to time in response.
Sometimes it is accompanied by the sound of flapping wings.
But this is destined to be a fool's errand, because these guys' wings have been clipped.
Now, there are more than thirty geese in the goose pen of Qingque Tribe.
Nearly two years of captive life have caused some changes in these geese. The biggest change is that the gray feathers on the geese that were hatched no longer have the gray on the older geese.
Two of them even had some whiter feathers growing on them.
It doesn't look very white on its own, but when mixed with gray feathers, it looks more conspicuous.
Han Cheng didn't know why the wild geese had such changes.
However, this change is undoubtedly good, and it is becoming more and more like a big goose change.
Moreover, these geese that have been raised in the pen since birth are not very afraid of people, and even when they hear the noise made by the geese flying in the sky, their reaction is not very violent...
Huo Er was carrying a basket, and when the fruit tree was fragrant, he was picking fruits together with the people in the tribe.
Although Huo Er is older, his body and bones are still very strong.
She can no longer climb up the trees to pick fruits, but she can still pick up the fruits in a basket.
Huo Er bent down and picked up a fruit that had more than half of it eaten by birds. He wiped some of the dust on it with his hand, then put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
The delicious juice from the fruit flowed into his mouth, causing a smile to appear on Huo Er's wrinkled old face.
She is old and has lived an extremely difficult life, so she cherishes food more than other people in the tribe.
Even though there is no shortage of food in the tribe now, Huo Er is still reluctant to waste any money.
She chewed the fruit slowly and scanned the surrounding grass with her cloudy eyes. She didn't want to let go of a fruit.
Not long after, Huo Er's eyes stopped at a place. In the grass on the slope, there were two fallen fruits looming.
Huo Er spit out the fruit core in his mouth, put the basket on the ground, then pulled some wormwood on the slope with his hands, and walked up and down the slope with a somewhat trembling look, slowly approaching the two fruits...
