Chapter 1231 Make the best use of everything

    Finnis finished writing quickly, but she was even more amazed at the writing medium handed over by the other party.

    This thing looks similar to papyrus, but the touch and feel of using it are completely different from papyrus.

    This is definitely not papyrus.

    Ever since she came to this land, all the recording media she saw were clay tablets.  These eastern civilizations have systematic and perfect writing, but no decent records. Clay tablets and stones are very primitive things, and they are still being used on a large scale here.

    But right now, is this thing really something that people in this land should have?

    The origin of the new owner in front of him is really a cloud of fog.

    And the implements of writing, which are neither stalks of rushes, nor reeds, nor goose feathers, but strange thin wooden poles, with a tuft of pointed hairs on the front, gathered together without being scattered,  The words written after being stained with ink made her feel beautiful.

    A scent of ink stimulated her nose and moved her dexterous cat-like ears.

    Moreover, the other party seems to have many kinds of writing tools?

    She raised her head inadvertently, and saw that there were several writing implements of different shapes beside the other party's hand, and it seemed that they were not all such hairy wooden poles.

    Finnis handed the written thing to the new owner. The new owner looked at it for a while, and seemed to be recognizing the numbers. Then, Finnis heard him praise himself:

    "Well written."

    Probably this is what it means. Fenis is very happy. The skill he used to help the priest write the divine inscriptions can help him save his life when he is in trouble.

    "for you."

    The new owner handed over the delicate writing medium, and Finnis was stunned when he saw the corresponding three rows of symbols marked below.

    What are these, numbers here?

    No, the first row should indeed be the numbers here. It looks like the interlacing of Yi and obelisks. This kind of stiff and knife-like writing is the local writing.

    But she has never seen the second and third types.

    The second type should be a kind of digital text in text, representing one, two, three, which can be seen directly, and it is the same as the digital text that I know, but it is changed from vertical to horizontal.

    But in the third type, the vertical one is still 1, but the second one is not written as "||", but "2".

    However, with a comparison, it is still possible to know that the number is "two".

    "I want you to learn these numbers, it's useful."

    The new master gave himself an order, and Fenis did not dare to disobey it. At least it is not the time to escape. Of course, he must be obedient to win the favor of the master.

    The status of a slave will not always follow me. One day, I must return to my hometown.

    Then, the new owner told himself to study numbers hard, and Han Xin was Han Xin. As long as he could study hard, he could be free.

    free?  !

    Fenis has always kept this vocabulary in his heart, and he has learned it from the very beginning!  She never expected that this kind of vocabulary would come out of the slave owner's mouth.

    However, the words of the slave owner cannot be believed or expected. In order to let the slaves work, the slave owner will often give a long-term goal, so that the slaves will have motivation to work, such as collecting 99,000 yuan from the Nile River.  One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine pebbles, this is simply impossible to accomplish.

    The master in front of me is probably trying to squeeze himself, so that he can do better for him

    But no matter what, she no longer dared to show some external emotions. After thanking and expressing her loyalty repeatedly, she was about to shrink back to the corner, but was stopped by the master again.

    Then the new owner pointed to the bench next to him, which made Finnis a little stunned, but after thinking about it, maybe it was just a little welfare treatment for this slave who knew how to count.

    So Finnis sat down on the bench obediently, and began to learn the conversion of various numbers.

    And his new master seems to be distributing work for other slaves.

    Soon, the slaves all had work to do, but what made Finnis dumbfounded was that the work these slaves did was not coolies, and even the slaves themselves were a little confused.

    They were sold here to work, but they didn't expect it to become mental work.

    Well, it's better than being whipped outside. It's okay for the new master to beat the slave.

      Some slaves who had done civil engineering were handed architectural drawings by the new master and asked him to draw the mark.

    Some slaves who had worked as handicraftsmen were handed by the new master the drawings of some utensils and asked him to reproduce them.

    A slave who had been a farmer was handed some pictures about agricultural planting by his new master and asked him to study.

    But what is serious is that these drawings, whether they are architectural, agricultural, or handicraft, are marked with numbers that they cannot understand. In fact, they have never touched such drawings.  Equipment, even they themselves don't know it at all.

    For example, a fisherman can make fishing nets, but he is also classified as a craftsman, and then he is asked by the new owner to make an object that is pronounced "gear"

    Finnis saw that they were already dizzy, and the new owner told them that if they didn't know something, they should ask for advice themselves?

    "no no?"

    Finnis couldn't help shouting in his heart, what's going on?

    I can write numbers myself, so how can I help these slaves also know numbers?

    There were a lot of people around, and she was at a loss for a while, and the attitude of these slaves was also very low, as if they understood that this person who could write numbers, even calculate, and even write words, had a higher status than them.  Much higher.

    This is of course, although common people know numbers, but advanced calculations and writing, no matter which civilization it is, are initially mastered by classes such as "priests" and "shamans".

    The first night, spent in this huge palace, naturally cannot be in the master's room.

    Finnis lights the stalks of rushes, which can be seen in various places, and can be used not only as a writing tool, but also as a carrier of light and fire.

    Looking at the slowly burning lamp stems in front of her, in a foreign country, only this grass that can be seen everywhere can make her feel a little kind.

    Then, create the fact that there is light in the house, so that the owner can see the faint light and shadow inside through the open wooden frame and straw curtain.

    Yes, the house where the slaves live is very good. It seems that the king of the city-state specifically allowed it, and the house allocated to them should be the place where the soldiers live. For slaves, they can live in the residence of the city-state guards.  Already a great grace.

    And the source of all this is because their new masters have a lofty status.
