A fresh river breeze blew into the tree of Babel, and Princess Lan, who lived on the second floor of the tree hole, stretched comfortably on the reed mat of the hammock and woke up in a daze.

Although Princess Lan is only less than 18 years old, she is only a cute high school girl in the outside world. But in the clan, she is already one of the representative figures of late marriage, and the other princesses and clan girls, many of whom are only 13 or 14 years old and immature Lori, are all breastfeeding their children with their children.

In fact, when He Zilong and his entourage lived outside, they often saw a girl with a baby in her arms around the age of 13-15. After inquiring, I found out that there are already mothers of two children, and there are also many people.

At first, He Zilong and the others were speechless, but later they got used to it, and that's it.

Even, He Zilong jokingly said to his teammates that this is normal, I didn't see that when China was in ancient times, and when there were foreign ancient times, it was also like this? Not to mention that people here can only be regarded as indigenous tribes in primitive society, so it is more normal. After all, the average life expectancy is not high, and it is definitely no fun to retire at the age of 60 and get a retirement salary.

Only by getting married early and having babies early can the tribe become strong, after all, this is a society with many individuals and great strength!

"Boss, thirteen or fourteen-year-old women are not mature at all, it is too inhumane to get married and have children, and it is easier to die, just to increase the population, it is actually not bad in the later years, why would the ancients be so short-sight......ed?" An employee in the field who applied soil and fertilizer with He Zilong asked He Zilong puzzled.

"In fact, I didn't treat women as human beings at all before, but in comparison, modern women are much happier......" He Zilong stretched his waist and replied.

In ancient times, whether it was a man or a woman, the age of marriage was very young, but men were actually fine, and it didn't matter if they married a wife when they were older, because it could be said that they were fighting for fame, and they didn't want to delay their studies because of marriage. But women are different, they haven't married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, that is, they are older leftover women, and it will be difficult for such a woman to get married.

In ancient times, when the productive forces were underdeveloped, manpower was the best productive force, so what should be done to increase the productive forces? Have more children and increase the population.

Even at the most powerful time, when it came to increasing the population, Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty, thought of a way to increase the population and collect taxes. Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty once decreed: "If a woman is over 15 to 30 years old and does not marry, five counts" This order means that if a woman does not marry before the age of fifteen, the family's tax will be five times that of others.

In fact, the ancients also knew that some ministers once admonished that if this move was inappropriate, it would cause great physical harm to women. But no one listened to this, in feudal society, women were men's accessories, and no one dared to say anything about buying and selling at will, so how could anyone care about the health of these women?

In the eyes of the ancients, daughters are those who lose money, and sooner or later they will belong to someone else's family, and only the son is their own, so there are really not many people who are willing to raise their daughters until they are fifteen years old and then remarry. As for whether premature birth will make a woman live a short life and die in childbirth, these are not problems at all in an era when women are not treated as others.

These days, while working, He Zilong has also inquired about the situation here.

After all, only when you know your opponent can you feel at ease.

Princess Lan is in this tribe that is the largest in the neighborhood, and that's right. However, the period of strength has passed, and there are too few men in the clan, so they have to form alliances with other tribes, but the number of people who can live in the tree of Babel is limited.

So, in the era of a large number of babies, the daughter born to the patriarch of the tribe was called a princess, but she was the least valuable princess.

Knowing that political marriages may be useless, but in order to win over other power leaders, Lan's father still stuffed a daughter with more than a dozen of his daughters, basically every leader or son of the leader of the alliance.

In primitive indigenous societies, the title "Princess" was not as valuable as some people thought.

After all, the patriarch of any tribe will have many daughters, after all, there is no such thing as family planning. Whether it is born to a regular wife, a young wife or even a slave girl, she can theoretically be called a princess.

Basically, each patriarch usually has a large number of wives, so there should not be only one daughter...... If you add up the number of daughters born to the patriarchs of all the tribes here, that is, the princesses, I am afraid that there will be only a few hundred.

(And the total population of these dozen tribes is estimated to be in the tens of thousands.) ）

The same is true of Princess Lan's case. That's why there were only a few subordinates, so they went outside. Therefore, she is so interested in He Zilong, one is that Lan has not seen too much of the world, and the other is that she thinks that if she can find a strong warrior or find a cure for her father and make contributions to the tribe, this alternative late-married princess may not be forced to marry an old man. (just a possibility)

Not all women will accept their fate, only Shaolan is like living a different woman's life. It's just that judging from the current situation, it seems that He Zilong and his party have not been valued by the high-level of the tribe, for Princess Lan's statement, what He Zilong alone can defeat the Super Devil Frog and the Titan Giant Snake King without injury. No one wants to believe it at all!

More than a dozen high-level officials who have real power believe that He Zilong and his party can be classified as cannon fodder.

"Cheer me up, the prince is here......" All over the field, suddenly there was a movement shouting to everyone, and then, as soon as He Zilong looked up, he saw in the distance, there was a young man with strong muscles and bulging muscles, surrounded by many subordinates and warriors, in a very high-profile way, walking towards this side.

"Who is this young man......?" He Zilong asked another native from a field next door.

"You don't even know him, oh too, you're just here. He is the eldest son of the Great Patriarch of the Tongtian Tree Clan, and the eldest prince is the most vocal of all the sons, and he is the candidate to challenge for the position of the patriarch......" The foreign native replied to He Zilong.

"The candidate with the highest voice, well, isn't the position of the patriarch here taken over by the eldest son......" He Zilong asked in surprise.

"Of course not, the position of the patriarch is based on the person with the highest military achievements in the clan, as well as prestige, etc., but there is no hereditary tradition, not only will it not stipulate that the eldest son will take over, or even whether it will be taken over by the son of the patriarch. But for the most part, because the patriarch has the highest prestige, he appoints the most often to take over, and of course, it is only natural ......for the father to take over the son," replied the native.
