Afterwards, Yan Mo discussed with Yuan Zhan, and then announced to everyone that the elders in Article 1 of the Nine Rules will include women, and that the number of men and women must be equal in the future. There will be other management organizations in the future, except for tribal leaders and priests, the composition and term of office are the same as the elders.
In order to ensure that this will be carried out, Yan Mo asked Yuan Zhan to engrave these contents on the back of the stele.
Yuan Zhan seemed to want to say something, but finally agreed to him.
Yan Mo felt that Yuan Zhan's attitude was a bit strange, but he didn't take it to heart.
And since that day, something has clearly changed within the tribe.
First of all, people's mental outlook. If the Awu people in the past were more likely to follow the crowd and live for the sake of living, then now they are actively participating, and even trying to express their feelings and ideas in stuttering nine original languages. suggestion.
Secondly, everyone is more enthusiastic about learning the Nine Original Languages, and everyone is trying to speak, no matter how old they are.
Again, it's people who start to like to ask why.
"Wu Chen, why is your name called Wu Chen, Wu is black, what is Chen?"
"Ye Xing, why is 1+1=2? But your mother and I together gave birth to the three of you! Isn't this 1+1=5?"
"Old man Ye, why does your lord tell us to add salt when tanning animal hides?"
"Sayu, why are there thirty days in a month? Not twenty or fifty?"
"Master Meng, why are men born with more muscles and women with more fat? What is fat? What is muscle? Why can only women have children? Why can't men have children?"
"I can't figure out why the priest doesn't let close relatives in the tribe marry. Isn't that the same for all gods? Why can't we?"
When such a question came to Yan Mo's ears, Yan Mo used the students' mouths to spread his explanation during the lecture: "Humans are different from gods, and gods have no defects in their bodies, and they combine and create the next generation The way of gods is also different from that of humans. But humans and other creatures have various defects, which is why gods can no longer give birth to new gods after combining with humans and other creatures. ability."
Hearing what Yan Mo said, someone asked: "Then the combination of close relatives will easily produce blood warriors?"
Yan Mo smiled, he knew that someone would ask, "When humans or other creatures are closely related, although the blood in the blood may be more concentrated, the same defects that belong to humans and other creatures will also be doubled. Therefore, the offspring of close relatives are prone to be stupid, born with disabilities, and children with weird shapes. If most of the tribes are close relatives, then as the blood relationship is stronger, this defect will be more severe. Trying to use this Using this method to create blood warriors will only lead to the destruction of the entire tribe, because with this method, it is often possible for one hundred thousand people to produce one blood warrior."
"One hundred thousand! There are only sixty-five people in our entire tribe." The children exclaimed, such a huge number is beyond the comprehension of most of them.
Yan Mo said again: "Why are there fewer and fewer women in the Awu tribe? Everyone's lifespan is not long? Many children die or don't live long after birth? This is all related to the union of close relatives. Ask your elders The clan witch, asked him if any women ever gave birth to deformed children? And they killed the children out of fear."
Someone really asked the old witch, and the old witch confirmed Yan Mo's guess.
Since then, everyone is no longer entangled in the matter of not being allowed to marry close relatives. Both the leader and the priest have said that there will be more and more residents in the tribe in the future, and women are not a problem!
"Women are the problem!" Yan Mo had a headache.
Yuan Zhan sat on the ground with one knee bent, grabbed and tore the barbecued meat, swallowed the piece of meat, and said casually, "How do you solve the problem of the number of women?"
"What do you think?" Yan Mo didn't have the nerve to say that he had thought of mermaids, but after he learned that the mermaids here are not like the legends in his original world, the mermaids can change legs for a short time when they go ashore, so he dismissed it. It's a bad idea to let mermaid women supplement the Jiuyuan tribe.
Maybe there will be a love affair across races in the future, but that will only be a very rare phenomenon.
At least before the development of the tribe, the girls of the mermaid tribe will not look at them.
Yuan Zhan didn't answer right away.
But Yan Mo already knew him better, and knew what he was thinking during this time, "Do you want to go back?"
"Not going back. Going to bring them." Yuan Zhan touched his face, "I am also a fourth-level fighter now, and my ability and physical fitness are both at the same time. I remember the color of the tattoo on the chief's face, his ability He is also awakened, but only at the second level. If there is a real fight, he will not be my opponent."
Yan Mo pointed out the difficulties, "The road, danger, time, and the defense here after you leave, we must consider and arrange everything before you can leave."
"I know, I didn't say to leave now." And if he wants to leave, he will definitely bring Mo with him, so he won't leave Mo here alone for a long time.
"Do you think there are other human tribes living in the forest?" Yan Mo asked whimsically, "Since there are dwarves, there may be other wild humans as well." Although the dwarves appeared, they are too short. intermarriage
Yuan Zhan put the bloody barbecue on the fire and roasted it, "First fix the tribe, subdue the dwarves, and explore the forest after knowing the situation."
Yan Mo nodded, "If you can't bring people back to the original tribe, you can consider exchanging salt for some slaves."
"Indeed, we need slaves. It's a pity that no human tribes are found nearby." Yuan Zhan looked disappointed. With his current ability, it is definitely not a problem to clean up a primitive tribe. If there are human tribes nearby, they will have enough slaves. Supplement the tribe's labor.
Yan Mo looked up, "What we need are manpower, not slaves."
"Huh?" Yuan Zhan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
"I mean, even if we exchange the slaves back, it doesn't mean that they will continue to be slaves. The Jiuyuan Tribe does not allow slavery."
"What?" Yuan Zhan was surprised, "It's fine if you treat those women as treasures, and you don't even want slaves? How does the tribe develop?"
"Is it impossible to develop without slaves? What we need is manpower. Because of their status, slaves have poor subjective initiative in labor. If we can let them use labor in exchange for..."
Yan Mo suddenly stopped talking, looked at the man, did not speak for a long time, and said for a long time, "Actually, you don't take the rules and regulations I told you to heart at all, do you? Content matters, doesn't it?"
"I think it's a little good." Seeing that the other party guessed his thoughts, Yuan Zhan didn't hide it, "For example, clarifying what kind of behavior people have committed is a crime, and crimes will inevitably be punished. That reward is also fine."
"What about the elders and adjudication system? What about the monogamy system? What about the privatization system? What about the support and maintenance system?"
Yuan Zhan sneered, "I only know two things. First, you must be strong; second, you must feed everyone. Otherwise, no matter what you do, no matter how good those systems are for them People will take you seriously!"
"The system is necessary. Instead of perfecting it later, it is better to set the rules of the game from the beginning. I told you when I explained to you last time that these systems not only make it easier for us to manage tribal residents, but also help us attract more other tribes. Tribal people. Have you ever thought that other tribes, such as primitive tribes, they treat women as weak, and women have a very low status in the tribe, let alone slaves. If there is a tribe, she is not only strong and rich, but also She also gives everyone a comparatively equal environment. Women do not need to be used as reproductive tools and exchange property here, and slaves are the same. The elderly and children do not have to worry about being eaten and abandoned. Everyone is free. So will those people such as those in the original tribe be attracted by us and want to come to us?"
"I admit that what you said makes sense, but you also said that the premise is that our tribe is strong and rich enough. Before that, nothing makes much sense."
"It makes sense! It will be too late to formulate these when we are strong. We need to ingrain these rules into the soul of the tribal people from the beginning, let them know what is good and what is bad, and they will They are the best transmitters, they... Yuan Zhan!"
Yuan Zhan, who was munching, raised his head, waved his hands, and said vaguely: "Master Priest, tell me, I'm listening."
"Shit!" Yan Mo also knew that it would be difficult for Yuan Zhan to understand his thoughts in a short period of time, so he shut up.
When Yuan Zhan heard the voice disappeared, he looked up at him strangely, and finally opened his mouth and said: "Mo, no matter what you want to do or what system you make, I will support you, even if I don't understand what you mean by that. "
"Ha! Are you not afraid that I will destroy the tribe?"
"Don't be afraid, I trust you."
"I'm so touched." Yan Mo smiled sarcastically.
Yuan Zhan threw away his bones, got up and sat next to Yan Mo, paying attention to the distance of a fist away from him, stared into his eyes and said: "What I said is true. You are a priest who has received the inheritance of the ancestor god, your place..."
Yuan Zhan pointed to his brain, "You think differently from others, I dare not say that your thoughts are all good, but you will be punished by the ancestor gods if you do something wrong, so if you give a tribe to play If it’s broken, the ancestor god will punish you even more, right?”
Yan Mo almost wanted to applaud Yuan Zhan's deduction. But this guy believed him because he saw that he would be punished by the ancestor god for doing something wrong? ... what a bastard!
Yuan Zhan could see that Yan Mo scolded him from the bottom of his heart, although he didn't understand why. "You said that human responsibilities need to be divided, so my responsibilities are killing and deterrence. I catch the prey, pull out its skin and tendons, and you make its meat delicious, and then we share it together. "
Yan Mo took a deep breath, "The status of women in the tribe must be the same as that of men. I will tell you the reason later."
Yuan Zhan nodded, "Okay."
"The tribe cannot have slaves. I will use other methods to make them work in exchange for slaves or prisoners of war obtained in other ways."
"it is good."
"Any system will have the possibility of corruption, because human beings have desires, you and I must lead by example. But you don't have to worry that you will be unattended. Work does not distinguish between high and low. This is what I want the tribal people to keep in mind. A man who waits is not a slave."
"clear."
"Children are the last to be sacrificed, even after you and me."
Yuan Zhan frowned, "You are the most important."
"No, children are the most important thing!" Yan Mo insisted on this point abnormally.
"Well, those cubs are as important as you." Yuan Zhan said reluctantly, but what he thought in his heart was another matter.
The two rulers tentatively reached a consensus on the direction and management of the tribe.
With two natural barriers, the Jiuyuan Tribe, which has no worries about foreign enemies for the time being, naturally began to vigorously develop internal construction. Yan Mo has already lived in a narrow, dark, and weird-smelling tent, and he wants to live in a real house!
Spring is here, the soil is thawing, and everyone can help now.
Building a house is a must, and everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time.
A group of people headed by Wu Cheng said they wanted to build houses for the priest and the leader first, but Yan Mo politely refused.
Everyone has no experience in building a house, and he doesn't want his first house to be a test case.
But in the eyes of the tribal people, the priest is so selfless, and the good thing of building the first house is actually given to the old witch.
Wu Cheng was not ashamed to accept such kindness, and finally everyone agreed to build the meeting hall first.
Building a house that can accommodate a hundred people is definitely much more difficult than building a small house. Yuan Zhan accepted this challenge.
But he didn't take charge of all the house construction. After all, he is the only one who can control the earth and rocks. Unless he wants to be a tribal builder in the future, he must pass on the knowledge of construction to others.
Yuan Zhan's architectural knowledge is also based on his little experiments and pondering. The priest in his family who is only a little better than him in this area is only responsible for providing pictures of the exterior of the house and various functional requirements for the interior of the house. As for how to actually build it, the priest said a lot of points, and the rest is all up to him to practice.
"Boom!" There were bursts of spring thunder, and heavy rain poured down.
Ramon took the slate and looked up at the sky, and said, "The snow is going to melt."
Yan Mo hurriedly put on the simple coir raincoat. Fortunately, he saw that the weather was not right when he went out, so he made more preparations.
The two guards also hurriedly put on their coir raincoats.
Speaking of which, the coir raincoat should also be thanks to the priest. It rained a few times after spring, and many children got sick after being exposed to the rain. After being scolded by the adult, the adult asked his students to learn how to make the coir raincoat.
And the finished coir raincoat can not only shelter from the rain, but also keep warm. The material is simple, and the production method is not difficult. Now almost everyone in the tribe has one.
Ramon watched Yan Mo turn into a straw man, giggling and laughing, they like rain, the rain will bring the fragrance of the soil, and the raindrops on the body feel very comfortable.
"It will rain heavily." Ramon judged based on experience: "Every year when the snow melts, there will be a heavy rain, and it will rain for many days until the snow is completely melted. It is best not to go there during this time." Come to the lake, and the lake will rise, and the lake will go all the way to the woods."
"Heavy rain, melting snow..." Something flashed in Yan Mo's mind, and he suddenly slapped his thigh, "It's broken!"
Ramon looked at him with the two guards.
Yan Mo didn't explain what was wrong, and only told Ramon: "Please help me to give the slate to Norma, so that she doesn't have to worry, sometimes the knowledge passed down to me by the ancestor gods, because there are too many, I will not remember very clearly. The loom on the slate is just a drawing based on my vague memory, and at most it can only give Norma a little inspiration, telling her not to make it according to the content in the painting."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll make it clear to her."
"I'll go back first, there are still some things in the tribe." Yan Mo asked two guards to lift him up. Meng made him a lighter chair, so that two people could carry him easily.
Ramon waved his hand, "When your legs get better, you are welcome to play on the island. Oh, and our leader said that it is no problem to hire us mermaid warriors to help guard the Nine Plains Tribe, but the specific amount of salt for how many people is still unknown." Let's talk again."
Cunning mermaid! Not rustic at all! Yan Mo smiled, "Yes, I will discuss it with our leader when I get back. How many mermaid fighters can you send at most?"
"one hundred."
mean! But Yan Mo also knew that Heisen was kind enough to send a hundred mermaid warriors to help them, although they needed salt and meat in exchange. But how many people does the long-tailed mermaid have? Judging from the fact that Heisen was able to send 800 soldiers casually last time, if not all of them were soldiers, then the total population should at least not be less than 5,000.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Yan Mo didn't care to think about it, waved goodbye to Ramon, and asked the guards to take him back to the tribe quickly, he forgot to explain a very important thing!
