Ji Thief shook his head: "No, you can be the patriarch, I can also be the patriarch, he is just a seat, who will do it, it doesn't matter, the important thing is the clansmen below." ”

Seeing Ah Zai's half-understood appearance, Ji Thief said: "There was a sentence in the past that I thought was just like that, but when I became the patriarch, I realized how incisive this sentence was." ”

Ah Zai opened his mouth and asked, "What?"

Ji thief said: "Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat." The patriarch is the boat that walks on the water, and the clan is the water that pushes the boat forward. ”

Ah Zai didn't understand at this moment: "What is a boat?"

Ji thief snorted, not knowing how to explain the word boat to Ah Zai, after all, primitive society has no understanding of boats at all.

Not to mention boats, most primitive people basically belong to the level of landlubbers.

That is, after experiencing the battle with Montenegro, Ji Thief ordered the combat department of the military department to start practicing swimming and treading water.

"Boat, well, you understand that it is a wood that can float on the water, and many people can sit on it, it can be regarded as a means of transportation, and I will let you see it in the future." Ji Thief said.

Ah Zheng sighed, pinching his chin and thinking to himself.

"Ah, do you know why the tribes now surrender as soon as the people below are captured?

Ah Zai said: "Because everyone is like this." ”

Ji Thief shook his head: "No, in the final analysis, they still have no attachment to the past tribe and no sense of love. ”

Ah Zai was not convinced: "Who said that, our tribe is not like this." ”

Ji Thief nodded: "That's because our tribe has never discriminated against and can treat everyone fairly." If nothing else, let me ask you, what was your resource allocation like when you were in the Maple Valley tribe before?"

Ah Zai snorted: "The patriarch first, then the management, then the elite of the tribe, then the men of the tribe, and finally the women of the tribe." ”

Tushan complained suspiciously: "Did the previous Maple Valley tribe have elites?"

Ah: "···"

Ji Thief said: "That's it, almost all the current distribution of tribal resources is based on this model, and everyone only cares about the elite in the tribe." It is the female clan that suffers the most. That's why every time we recruit captives from other tribes, we always succeed at once. And after our people were captured, few surrendered. ”

Ah Zai said: "But there is no other tribe that has captured our people, and they are not our opponents. ”

Ji Thief snorted: "It is precisely because we pay attention to the equal distribution of resources among everyone in the tribe that everyone will fight hard when fighting, so no other tribe can defeat us." Except, of course, for the fighting department of the Horde. Because they will rush to the forefront when fighting, they will have more resources in terms of resource allocation. Not to mention anything else, even I, the patriarch, have the same allocation of resources as everyone else, and I have no privileges. That's why everyone thinks our tribe is good. ”

Ah Zai nodded: "You told me about these before. ”

Ji Thief continued: "Actually, I said so much, mainly to let you understand what the patriarch has for a tribe. ”

"The patriarch is the one who leads the tribe on the right path when it faces important decisions. Ah Zheng seemed to think of something, and opened his mouth to say.

Ji Thief nodded: "What about other than these, what is the role of the patriarch?"

Ah Zheng snorted, not knowing how to answer.

Ji Thief said: "It's very simple, apart from this reason, the patriarch has no effect. But why do people still support the patriarch? I don't know about other tribes, anyway, in our Lihuo tribe, my combat strength is not comparable to Tushan and Hunting, and even most people, I can't compare to most people. It's just that relying on my previous prestige, I, the patriarch, won't be able to do it for long. ”

Ah Zai hurriedly said: "Patriarch..."

Ji Thief stretched out his hand to stop Ah Zheng's words: "When it comes to fighting, there are earth mountains and hunting in the tribe, and when it comes to medical treatment, there is snow in the tribe. There is a bull for security, and there is an Usma for construction. It seems that I am like a superfluous person, and everyone in the tribe can live well without me, because the tribal system has been established. ”

Tushan rammed and said: "But the patriarch is the patriarch, and he can't do without." ”

Ji Thief looked back at Tushan: "Then why can't you have it?"

Tsuchiyama snorted, not knowing how to answer.

Ji Thief said: "It's very simple, everyone has their own skills, I, the patriarch, in addition to leading everyone to the right path, at the same time, I must also be responsible for reconciling everyone's relationship and dealing with everyone's contradictions." How to say, a tribe is like a ship, if it is broken here, I will sew it up, and if it leaks here, I will repair it..."

As the thief was talking, Ah Zai interrupted the thief again: "Patriarch, what is a ship?"

Ji Thief rolled his eyes: "A boat is a boat, a boat is a boat, understand?"

Ah Zheng sighed, still a little incomprehensible.

Seeing this, Ji Thief smiled, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you remember what I said to you today, sooner or later, you will understand.

"Ah, do you know why I'm going to show you the whole valley today?" asked Ji Thief.

Ah Zai asked tentatively, "Is it because you are not at ease with everyone, Patriarch?"

Ji Thief smiled: "If I don't worry, I won't let everyone take charge of the various departments of the tribe." ”

Ah Zheng snorted, not knowing how to answer Ji Thief's words.

"I am on patrol in various departments today, not because I am not worried about everyone, on the contrary, I am very relieved about everyone's ability. The purpose of my rounds is to show you that I am there, and that I have been paying attention to your work. Ah, if it were you, I would give you some work, which is very, very hard, what kind of thoughts would you have when you did this work?"

Ah Zheng looked at the thief weakly: "Tell the truth?"

Ji Thief pouted: "Aren't you talking nonsense?" ”

Ah Zheng said seriously: "Maybe I didn't feel anything at first, but if I keep doing it, I will feel irritable." ”

Ji Thief nodded: "Yes, you think so, everyone thinks the same way." Take Usma, for example, he does so much work every day, although he doesn't cry out that he is tired, but is he really not tired? Sometimes, people need more than just praise. ”

Ah Zheng said: "What is that?"

Ji Thief smiled: "I told you just now. ”

Ah Zai lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly understood something: "Patriarch, do you mean that what everyone needs sometimes is for you to go to the place where they work in person, like today?"

Ji Thief smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Just verbal praise will always give people a sense of hypocrisy.

Although the thief doesn't know if everyone will think of himself like this, but the thief himself knows that if he puts himself in his shoes, if it is himself, he will definitely be impatient after listening to the verbal praise for a long time, and then scold the white wolf with empty gloves.

However, if you go to the department to check it in person, it will be different.

Although I only chatted with other departments and said some words of praise, for everyone, just a few steps away, it was very different.

This shows that Ji Thief's move is concerned about everyone and is paying attention to everyone.

Of course, if there is no Ah Zheng to follow, Ji Thief will do the same, in addition to getting closer to everyone, the other point is that he also wants to understand how the various departments work or something.

The reason why he said so much to Ah Zheng was that the thief was still mixed with selfishness.

Just like what Ji Thief said to Ah Zai last night, he really wanted to train Ah Zai as his deputy and as a future heir.

I just don't know how much this kid can absorb with the knowledge he instilled in Ah Zheng today.

"Patriarch, Ah Liang, they seem to be back. ”

Tsuchiyama stretched out his hand and pointed ahead.

Hearing this, the thief came back to his senses, smiled, and said to Ah Zheng: "Go, welcome our great hero." ”

Looking at the meaningful smile of the thief, Ah Zai nodded vigorously and walked towards Ah Liang and them together.
