Chapter 43: A Blueprint for Change

The sun slowly rises from the other side of the sea level, and a new day begins. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Thor stretched out of the corner of his room, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and peered out through the firewood-laden window.

"Looks like we're going to have to build a storage room, and then a fungus room. Looking around at the clutter, Thor muttered to himself.

The house was in utter disarray, with felled firewood in the middle of the room, occupying nearly a third of the space, and large quantities of dried meat and fish, covered with animal skins, piled on the left side, and the corners near the right were covered with white mycelium, with rotting wood and dead leaves underneath.

In addition to some bottles and cans in other spare places, the charcoal that Thor has been burning recently has also been neatly placed against the wall, and has been placed in a row.

Thor had to sleep near the door, the large room leaving little room for him to rest.

The tribal houses had been largely built, and every family had settled in sturdy mud houses, and lately everyone had spent most of their work burning charcoal, and following Diana to the wider fields.

Walking out of the house, the morning sun sprinkled warmly on his body, as if relieving the fatigue of young Noam's body these days.

A few big fluffy tails flashed around the corner of the room, but that couldn't hide from Thor.

"These gluttonous guys. With a smile and a curse, Thor walked around the corner, turned the side of the earthen house, and sure enough, three dire wolves came into view.

They sniffed under the window frame on the left side of the room, and when they stood upright more than three meters high, they could easily lie down on the window of the low mud house.

"Hey, you glutton—" Thor smiled as he walked over, patting the wolves on their heads and rubbing them lovingly.

These three are well-known gluttonous in the wolf pack.

The dire wolves had already taken care of their bodies in the tribe, perhaps because they had discovered the superiority of cooperating with the warriors in hunting, perhaps because of the persuasion of Grey Wind, or perhaps because Thor had treated them well, the wolves did not leave, but naturally lived on the cliff corners.

The wolf king and his men settled on the eastern edge of the cliff, and for this purpose Thor took some of the labor from the builders of the houses and built several large earth holes in earth and stone for the wolves.

The wolf king seemed to be happy with his new home, Thor rarely saw it come out, and every morning and evening, the people would take some meat and leave it in front of the soil cave where the wolves lived, which became the meal time for the dire wolves.

When the warriors are hunting, as long as they whistle, the wolves will go out in response, like shadows to follow the warriors around, after the hunt, both sides will often return with a full load, this kind of comfortable days have lasted for some time.

But there are also a few gluttonous wolves in the pack, such as the three in front of them, who always run to the hut where the food is stored without waiting for the tribesmen to send food.

Several times when Thor woke up, he was startled to the first thing he saw on the window frame when he opened his eyes, but then he got used to the three greedy wolves.

"Don't sniff around" patted a wolf who wanted to sniff up on his leg, Thor laughed, he laughed and scolded: "Sooner or later, you gluttonous ones, wait here." ”

With that, he flashed back into the house, lifted the covered hide, took a large handful of the layers of dried meat, and held it in his arms.

"I don't know if this counts as embezzlement of public property" Thor felt a little weak in his heart, the clansmen did not have the concept of private property, everything in the tribe was shared by everyone, and when there was a famine, they could all be eaten when they were hungry.

"Maybe it won't last long. Thor thought to himself, he had been contemplating some policy to change the barbarian traditions lately, and it was very likely that he would break this form of tribal wealth.

For example, the marriage status of the tribe, although the name of the Soth people has been changed by Thor, their way of life is still no different from when they were once savages, and one of the things that makes Thor feel that it needs to be changed the most is marriage.

The Sos rarely have a regular partner, they form a family with someone for a short time in the first two months of the year, and maybe two months later with someone else, or even many people share a partner, or many have a complex relationship with each other.

It can be summed up in two words: promiscuity

Only a handful of wildlings would try to establish a solid marriage, and Thor didn't know if he should be glad that his barbarian father was such a man, or he might have to fight with countless brothers to become the Nome of a small tribe.

This is not only unhygienic and prone to the spread of disease, but it is also very detrimental to the formation of a strong family structure.

And the family is the cell in the society, like a cogwheel that drives the progress of the whole society.

Recently, Saul observed that while the food of the tribe had become abundant, a part of the tribe had become lazy, and they would become less active in hunting and all kinds of work, as if they had become desireless and unenterprising when the threat of death and starvation had temporarily subsided.

Thor understands that affection and unity alone cannot govern a tribe, and the Thor have indeed become a very united tribe after their ordeal to the Cliff Corner, but that doesn't mean they can hide their human weaknesses.

Saul decided to regulate through the system.

He also discussed with Diana and Morey every day that the effect of suppression by force alone must not be too good, and cruel rule has little effect on boosting motivation.

So Thor wanted to raise the production enthusiasm of those who were prone to laziness from within, and private ownership would undoubtedly be a very effective weapon.

When the tribesmen no longer work solely for the sake of the tribe, but when they find that they can produce and work for their families and descendants, they will take the initiative to work more diligently.

Saul's first policy was to help them establish this solid family marriage, which was monogamy.

Diana and Morey agreed with Saul's idea, and Morey even moved out of Fran's court to implement the same system of one king and one queen, but how many lovers the emperor had was naturally a tacit matter.

But the policy is not something that can be conveyed with a pat on the head, and even if Thor already has a good reputation among the tribe, there will still be resistance from the tribe, so Thor will also make sure that he can carry out the policy.

At the same time, once private ownership was slowly established, everyone collected their belongings into their own homes, and where the tribe's property came from, and how to collect taxes from the tribesmen, these problems caused Saul a headache, and simply handed them over to Diana and Morey to deal with.

"Whew-" The dire wolf waiting outside the door was already impatient, and howled restlessly, and Thor retracted his thoughts, turned and walked out the door.
