Chapter 49
Seeing that Wang Baishan liked the pen so much, Huang Yi gave him the fountain pen.

And tell him that this pen can write at most [-] to [-] words.

Wang Baishan resolutely refused at first, even saying that he would not be rewarded for his merits.

Later, I heard from Huang Yi that this pen was given to him to let him be responsible for writing and transcribing textbooks in the future, so he knelt down and took it with both hands like a treasure, saying: "I will fulfill my mission!"

It was like the emperor bestowed Shang Fang with a sword, which made Huang Yi dumbfounded.

In order to prevent Wang Baishan from writing wrong textbooks, Huang Yi personally marked each word in the "San Zi Jing" in Chinese pinyin.

Huang Yi is a native of the city, and the primary school he attends is an experimental primary school with nearly [-] teachers and students in five grades.

It is completely different from the rural primary schools, which have always been taught in Mandarin.

Therefore, Huang Yi's Chinese pinyin is very solid.

Coupled with the use of pinyin input method codewords in later generations, there will be no mistakes in annotating Chinese pinyin in the "San Zi Jing".

Whenever he hears the sound of reading aloud, "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, habits are far away...", Wang Baishan always has the urge to cry.

After all, he is a scholar, a person with a talent for learning, and has basically mastered the Chinese pinyin.

He was even thinking about whether he could spread this wonderful method to the world.

Huang Yi gave an affirmative answer, and said that when the time is right, he will take the lead in compiling a Chinese dictionary.

Now, let's face reality.

Too poor and too backward, paper and pen are all luxury.

More than 200 people can only practice calligraphy on the ground with wooden sticks cut into the size of brushes.

Huang Yi came up with two ideas, and Wang Baishan, Qi Dashan, and Lan Jinkui came up with them on the same day.

The first idea, of course, is to use lime as chalk, and without black paint, we can only make blackboards from fire-baked black wood.

The second idea is to make a few shallow sand tables. When dictating, several people write on the sand table at the same time, and the rest watch...

Working together, practicing literature and martial arts together, it is fun.

With the passage of time, the recognition of more than [-] people in Huang Yi's big family has gradually increased, and many people have long-lost smiles on their faces.

Zhang Shi, Sun Suzhu, Du Cuilan, and Li Shi who followed Huang Yi the first time have recovered and their hair has become shiny.

Although Huang Yi believes that everyone is equal, in his big family, he is actually implementing the communist distribution according to work and according to need.

But this era is beyond his control.

Zhang Shi, Sun Suzhu, Du Cuilan, Li Shi, Xiao Hong, and Xiao Cui took care of Huang Yi in every possible way.

Huang Yi didn't even have to wash his feet, this job was forcibly taken away by Xiaohong and Xiaocui.

Xiaohong and Xiaocui served Kachagute's wife and concubine for two years. In terms of serving people, they did the best job. Zhang Shi and Sun Suzhu felt inferior.

Huang Yi was not used to being served by others, but in this era and in this environment, it is really uncomfortable to have no one to serve him.

That's because Huang Yi, a modern person, really can't stand the lice and fleas all over his body.

Therefore, he has to take a bath and wash his hair every few days. He needs someone to help comb his hair with a comb to catch lice, and needs someone to wash his underwear with boiling water.

Now Mrs. Zhang and Du Cuilan have reached a consensus, except for Xiaohong and Xiaocui, no other women are willing to take care of the master's daily life.

Even if there are more than 100 women in this big family, none of them are over 40 years old.

In fact, not only women, but few men over 40 years old.The average age will not exceed 26 years old.

What's happening here?Is the age ratio of the population wrong?

well!How difficult is it to live on the prairie where there is little food and clothing?How can a slave be old?
How could a slave who could not work get food?

Moreover, the average life expectancy of ordinary people at this time is extremely low, and it is estimated that they are at most in their 40s.

Ten years after Chongzhen, it is unknown whether the average life expectancy of the Han people will reach 30 years old.

So Huang Yi's family is actually a young group.

He believes that as long as he can get matchlock guns, he is confident that he will spend a month teaching more than half of his family to fire them, and within three months, he will be able to line up and shoot in three-stage shooting mode.

This is not a lie, learning to shoot a gun is much easier than learning archery and practicing horseback riding.

Besides, Li Wanquan, who used to be a gunner in the Ming army, and Zhao Yong, who was a gunner in the Ming army, were already under his command. Firearms instructors were not a problem.

Huang Yi has been implementing discipline and teaching everyone to practice in the queue. Now everyone can distinguish between left and right. They have learned at least thirty Chinese characters and can add and subtract within one hundred.

The recruit companies of later generations only trained for three months.

Matchlock guns are not high-tech. It is absolutely impossible for young people to learn to load and fire after three months of practice.

If there were sufficient arquebuses for combat, the entire extended family could organize 180 men, including the women.

Coupled with the addition of more than [-] people with bows and arrows, and Huang Yi's deadly steel crossbow, in a positional battle, they will definitely be able to confront two or three hundred Tartar cavalry.

The Mongolian tribe with two or three hundred knights can be regarded as moderately powerful, and Huang Yi didn't grab other people's territory. Why did they come to the mountains to fight Huang Yi's family?
Low-key development is the kingly way. Before reaching a certain level of strength, Huang Yi will never take the initiative to cause trouble.

When looting, you have to run as far as possible in accordance with the principle that rabbits do not eat grass by the side of the nest.

Huang Yi didn't want to take over too many Mongolians, so more than [-] members of five Mongolian families came to beg.

It is impossible for Hedan Battelle to raise disabled people. If it wasn't for Huang Yi's enough respect, the five former Halbala and Kachagut knights who stayed in the camp to recuperate would have been killed head off.

It's not that Hedan Battelle is cruel and easy to kill, five enemies, and they are seriously injured and dying enemies, who would spend food to feed them?

Besides, these five people may have killed Hedan Battelle's subordinates.

Eight of these five Mongolian families participated in the war, but none of them came back. They had no hope at first.

Who knew that they actually saw their injured relatives. After being pleasantly surprised, they had to think about how to live in the future.

They didn't surrender voluntarily, they didn't get preferential treatment, they all had to become slaves.

So they all came to beg to be Huang Yi's slaves.

Of course, this is also why the surviving knights of Hedan Bateer's tribe suddenly became upstarts, and their slaves multiplied several times. They looked down on a family with no healthy young adults but a seriously injured family.

Non-my family, its heart must be different!

Huang Yi was going to refuse, but those women and children were crying miserably, and his heart softened again.

After all, there is enough food.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't have enough, you can hunt and buy with money.

The gold and silver treasures accumulated in Huang Yi's hands are estimated to be worth more than 3000 taels of silver. Even if the price of food outside the Great Wall is more than double the price inside the pass, more than 3000 taels of silver can buy one or two thousand shi of wheat.

Eat sparingly, each person only eats [-]% full, the young and middle-aged, the old and the weak, women and children are averaged, and two shi of grain can barely survive for a year.

Just for survival, if an adult eats less than a catty of grain a day and has no meat to eat, it is impossible for an adult to have good physical strength.

Therefore, two thousand shi of grain would definitely be able to meet the basic needs of a population of 1000.

There will also be beef and mutton tooth-making sacrifices, and prey to supplement nutrition. With 1000 people, Huang Yi has the confidence to train [-] militiamen.

What's more, Huang Yi has the value of force, manpower, equipment, and warriors who are good at riding and shooting. He can annex small tribes, rob merchants, and attack horse thieves.

Huang Yi has been thinking about whether to bring some knights to play horse thieves regularly!
It's a pity that although his riding skills are improving, he still can't retract freely!
