Although the arrival of the dwarves has aroused the vigilance of the residents of the Jiuyuan tribe, the construction and changes within the tribe have not stopped. On the contrary, in order to reduce all possible threats in the future, Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan also accelerated the steps.
At present, Meng and Mu Changming lead Daze and other warriors to be responsible for defense and hunting.
Yuan Zhan led Hu Hu and others to engage in infrastructure construction. In order to avoid a decline in combat effectiveness and to avoid internal entanglements, Hu Hu's group of people and Daze and others will rotate on a daily basis.
And Yan Mo is in charge of all internal affairs in the tribe, assisted by Wu Cheng, Wu Qing, Sa Yun, Ye He and his three students.
Yan Mo has always been followed by two guards, because he needs to be carried by a chair when traveling, he finds it troublesome, so he simply set up a table at the door of the tent, and let the guards carry him out, he will work and teach at the table, and come back at night carry it back.
Before he could walk on both legs, the initial population statistics of the tribe had all been completed. During that time, in order to ensure that everyone lived according to the rules of the tribe, Yan Mo had to check each person's pulse, feel the bones, observe the skin and hair, etc. age.
He couldn't guarantee that the age he judged would be accurate, but at least it was much more accurate than it appeared on the surface.
For example, some young people seem to be over twenty years old, but after his identification, they are only fifteen or sixteen years old. On the other hand, some malnourished children may look small, but they have actually entered adolescence.
Finally, after statistics, the total population of the tribe is 64 people, plus one other person. Fifty-two men and twelve women.
Over the age of sixteen, there are thirty-nine males and only eight females.
For children under the age of sixteen, there are ten boys and only four girls.
Yan Mo was quite troubled by the disparity in the number of men and women.
And with the further expansion of the demographics, the more troublesome things for him are yet to come.
Since the family system is proposed, it must be counted and considered according to the family when making statistics and building houses. However, it is not easy to clearly distinguish the family. The reason is that there are few women in the Awu nationality. Two to three men, the largest one even had sex with six men one after another, and the children they gave birth to sometimes even they themselves couldn't figure out whose children it was.
However, children of the Awu people usually follow their mothers, and Yan Mo doesn't want to change this.
However, considering the issue of child rearing, once the family concept and private ownership are promoted, it will become a big problem whether the men behind are willing to raise children with unknown fathers and whether they will treat parents and children differently.
In order to solve this problem, Yan Mo had no choice but to take it step by step.
First, separate families with clear blood ties. For example, the child Awu's family back then, their family was considered to have a clear bloodline, and their mother had only one man, their father. But there are only two such families.
Second, it is clear that there are no women's families. For example, a single parent, the child's mother is no longer there, or the child's mother does not want to live with him. There are eleven such families.
Third, specify singletons. This is very simple, that is, a person who has neither a woman nor a relative to support or be supported.
After completing these three steps, the next highlight is about to begin.
Yan Mo has been busy with this for the past two days.
The Awu people who didn't have to go out didn't gather in front of the stele, and all ran to the door of the priest's tent to watch the excitement.
No, it's not to watch the fun, but to watch women.
Hey? It seems that this is not right
But in the eyes of the Awu people, that is the truth.
Excluding the two women who already have definite families, there are six women who have entered the childbearing period. Five of them were identified by Yan Mo as under the age of sixteen, and the youngest one was only twelve or thirteen years old, but they all had children. It was too late to stop now.
What Yan Mo is most afraid of is this kind of annoying thing, but he can't do it anyway, apart from him, even Yuan Zhan in this tribe can't handle this kind of thing, and Wu Cheng and others are still in circles in the blood relationship .
"Sa Yun, you have two children, do you know who their fathers are?" Yan Mo asked sitting behind the table.
Sayun is Sayu's mother, who is responsible for the flax weaving in the tribe.
Sa Yun nodded, pointed to Daze who sneaked to see the excitement, "Pang Ze, and Pang Marsh."
Pang Nuo was out hunting on duty today, but he didn't come.
Daze saw Yan Mo watching him, and immediately threw his right fist on his left chest to salute him.
Yan Mo smiled and continued to ask Sa Yun, "Then who do you want to spend time with?"
Sayun hesitated.
Yan Mo encouraged her, "Speak out, it doesn't matter, you can have sex with whoever you want."
Sa Yun touched the head of a two- or three-year-old doll sitting at his feet, and then touched Sa Yu who squeezed beside her, and said boldly: "My lord, I want to live with them, and they promised me, If there is a child in the future, I will take care of it, no matter which one it is."
Yan Mo had the urge to caress his forehead. Jiugui clearly said about monogamy, but Sister Sayun, whom he had placed high hopes on, gave him a stick as soon as she came up.
That brat, Sa Yu, also shouted from below: "My lord, I don't want to be separated from my brother."
Yan Mo had a toothache, this kid obviously told him two days ago that he was going to kill his annoying younger brother, but today he didn't want to be separated. What a child's heart, June's day!
Daze also walked to the side of the mother and son, and said sincerely to Yan Mo: "My lord, Pang Mo didn't come, but he has already agreed with me, we want to spend time with Sa Yun and the children, is that okay?"
"My lord, if I choose two husbands, will you punish me?" Sayun was extremely worried.
Sa Yu's eyes widened, and he looked at Yan Mo eagerly, he didn't want adults to punish his mother. The adults taught them a lot during this time, and let them know the greatness and hardships of their mothers.
Yan Mo's original intention was to improve the social status of women in the Jiuyuan Tribe through subtle influences on education, but the result seems to be good
But the tone of these people and their eyes, Yan Mo felt like a bad guy who broke up a family.
The Nine Rules and Three Orders are also issued to make the people in the tribe live better. If it is to cater to the rules instead of making the originally happy people unhappy, it will be putting the cart before the horse, and Yan Mo naturally does not want to do this.
Especially in the initial stage of tribal construction, it is obviously impossible for everyone to follow the rules and regulations.
Yan Mo looked at the old witch.
Wu Cheng stood right in front of the table, watching Yan Mo question him with his eyes.
Wu Cheng thumped his chest, "My lord, it's up to you to decide."
Yan Mo didn't count on the old clan witch either, he just expressed his intention.
Hearing this, he raised his head and said to Daze, Sa Yun's mother and son, "Before the tribal rules came out, you already formed a family. Even if you live together, it is not a violation of the tribal rules. From now on, you will be a family."
Sayun and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
"The tribal rules are just principles. If there are special circumstances, please report them to the adjudication group. The adjudication group will not rigidly follow the rules. If there are extenuating circumstances, the members of the adjudication group will consider it."
The Awu people could not understand most of the words Yan Mo said, but their consciousness directly understood what Yan Mo said.
The Awu people are very happy, and Sa Yun's success also gives hope to several other men and women who have the same idea.
After that, Yan Mo dealt with the same situation for three families in a row, all of them were a woman with several children willing to live with several men, and those men were also willing.
There are still two women left, one is the youngest mother who is only about thirteen years old, and the other is the oldest woman who has had relationships with six men one after another.
Yan Mo felt pity for the little mother, who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and held a baby less than half a year old in her arms. This baby was born on the way they migrated here, and the mother and daughter Everyone has a lot of life, and in the cold winter, under the special care of Meng, he managed to get to the place of residence.
"What are your plans?" Yan Mo asked the little girl gently.
The little girl hugged her daughter, looked up at the mature man beside her, took a step away from the man, and walked to another younger man, "I want to live with Mu Lin."
The complexion of the mature man changed.
The young man stepped forward to protect the little girl and her daughter, "My lord, Xiaoshu doesn't want to be with my father, and neither do I."
Yan Mo discovered that the young man was also one of his students, and his actual age might be around sixteen years old.
"My daughter is mine!" The man in his prime suddenly shouted.
"My lord!" Mu Lin knelt down with Xiaoshu, "Little Shu cannot be given to my father. Xiaoshu is also my father's daughter. He will raise Xiaoshu and let Xiaoshu give birth to him as well."
Yan Mo breathed out, well, in the primitive society, this kind of situation will not be uncommon in the future. This is due to the small population of the Awu tribe. If it is a larger tribe, there may be more such things.
"But you're her brother too, aren't you?"
"Yes." Mu Lin gritted his teeth, "My lord, you have taught us, I know... the union of close relatives is not good, I will not occupy Xiaoshu, I will take care of her and Xiaoshu, and when they grow up, let them think about it." Live with whoever you're with."
"Okay!" Yan Mo agreed on the spot, "Xiaoshu and Xiaoshu will live with you from now on, don't worry, you and Xiaoshu are still young, and the tribe will take care of you."
Mu Lin and Xiao Shu were overjoyed, and they kept expressing their gratitude to Yan Mo together.
Yan Mo looked at the unconvinced grown-up man again, and warned slightly: "As their father, are you willing to take care of them before the children are sixteen years old? Give them food, water and other things?"
The mature man's face was ugly, "Why? Women don't sleep with me, so why should I support them?"
Well, it's never going to be one person's idea.
"It's okay if you don't want to raise them, but according to the rules of the tribe, you must compensate them once. As for the compensation, I will let you know later." Yan Mo sneered.
Seeing Yan Mo's face change, the middle-aged man was frightened, that's the priest! He actually made the priest angry! The middle-aged man lowered his head and looked at the ground in fear, not daring to say anything more.
"In addition, no matter who it is, when other people have formed a family, no one is allowed to harass other people's families, and family members are no longer allowed to have intimate relationships with other people, otherwise they will be punished by the tribe! Do you hear me?"
"Yes! Yes!" After being stunned for a moment, the spectators shouted and answered.
"It is even more forbidden to violate the wishes of others and force others to happen! If there is, it will be severely punished!"
"yes!"
Yan Mo looked at the last woman again, and when he looked at this person, he suddenly frowned.
