Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 37 The Honest Primitive
When Wang Tian shouted for everyone to gather for a meeting, the three large soup pots were already full of fish and venison.
In the morning, because of the rush to work, everyone ate in a hurry, and in the evening, the emperor said that he was full and open to eat. Everyone had been thinking about it all day.
They were confused about what Wang Tian said about the meeting. Is it what kind of food is the meeting?
I saw two people in the tribe carrying a wooden shelf about two meters long and fifty centimeters high. This wooden frame is made of tree branches that are bundled.
As for the height, why it is so short, of course, it is to match Wang Tian's height.
There are ten fish of different sizes on the table from small to large. In the middle was a strange two-disc thing. Divide the fish into five on each side.
Behind this odd shelf, there was a row of a dozen or so lumps.
What is the Son of Heaven doing? Does the meeting mean to eat sashimi? Or do you want to use that lump of dirt to smash the fish into a meat puree to make fish balls?
If Wang Tian could guess everyone's inner activities, he wouldn't mind, and after the vote, he would make these ten fish into fish balls and shabu-shabu.
In the midst of everyone's speculation, Wang Tian walked to the back of the middle of the wooden platform, raised his hands high and then slowly pressed down.
At this time, the four giants of the tribe stood on both sides of Wang Tian. As for the meeting, Wang Tian had already communicated with them in advance. Although none of them understood. Wang Tian also stopped explaining, only said that he would stay at the conference and explain together.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet. The purpose of today's meeting is to let everyone choose a fish from the five fish on the left that everyone thinks is enough for their food for a day, and pay attention to just choosing a fish that they will not feel hungry for the day after eating. It's not that you can eat and eat, it's just enough. ”
After speaking, Wang Tian pointed to the five fish on his right.
Wang Tian asked Ling'er and Heizi to translate this sentence completely and meticulously to everyone to understand. Make sure everyone understands exactly what it means.
After everyone understood, Wang Tian continued: "Now everyone comes up to take a look at these five fish, and if you think which one can be eaten by yourself on this day, you can choose whichever one, regardless of how others choose, which one you choose is which." Then pick up the pebbles and place them in front of the fish of your choice. ”
"Again, it's just enough to eat, and then we'll choose one of the five on the right that makes everyone feel full and well-fed." Wang Tian pointed to his left hand side again.
After everyone understood what Wang Tian meant, they stepped forward and looked at the five fish. The heart has been chosen.
At this time, Wang Tian announced the opening of voting. The Big Five all turned to face the cave/inside.
This is done to better reflect the true results of the vote and avoid the influence of the Big Five on the vote.
Waiting for Ling'er to tell Wang Tian that the voting was over, Wang Tian turned around and found that he was thinking too much.
The heaviest of the five fish were evenly matched. The lightest two have no one vote. And the middle one has only two votes.
Were these two votes cast by an anorexic? Wang Tian muttered in his heart, this is not with the public.
Wang Tian was still satisfied with the results of the vote.
The two heaviest received equal votes, which should be a true reflection of the difference in food consumption between men and women.
If this is the case, then the vote is successful and effective.
Wang Tian put the two heaviest fish on one end of the scale. He will take an average as the standard unit of weight for the city catty.
Next, Wang Tian said: "In the same way, among the five fish on the right, everyone chooses a fish that everyone thinks is enough for them to eat well for a day. ”
Once everyone has made up their minds, voting begins again. The reason why it is carried out in two parts. Just to keep everyone stupid and confused.
The Big Five turned around again, and the voting was over. Wang Tian found that the results of the vote this time were different from the last time.
The lightest one is still unelected, and the heaviest one has only five votes. The vote rate of the middle three fish increased sequentially, and it was also relatively even.
"Honest and lovely primitive!" Wang Tian gave everyone a thumbs up in his heart.
The accuracy of data collection is important for decision-making. The more objectively the data is collected, the more objective the decision-making will be.
For the results of this democratic vote. Wang Tian couldn't be more satisfied.
He asked everyone to listen while eating: "Just now, through everyone's choice, we got two weights, one is the weight that everyone thinks is enough for a day, and the other is the weight that everyone thinks can make you feel happy and be able to eat and support."
With these two weights, we can know how many days the food stored in the tribe can be eaten by everyone without starvation, and how many days if everyone eats openly. ”
"In the future, everyone will be able to know the weight of the food obtained from hunting, fishing, and picking wild fruits, and if you know the weight, you will be able to calculate how many people will be able to eat." Wang Tian further explained.
Accurate data can truly achieve food at home and not panic.
In fact, before Wang Tian came, this was not necessary.
Because there is basically no food left, and after Wang Tian plans to start building the wall, he can get an accurate weight of stored grain, so as to provide accurate data support for the reasonable arrangement of everyone's production activities, so as to achieve a target.
After Wu understood what Wang Tian meant, his eyes lit up. He finally didn't have to guess that the food hanging from the roof of the cave was enough for the tribe to eat for a few days.
This question had been bothering him, but he still didn't know how to do it.
In fact, Wu's problem is also Wang Tian's problem, although he insists on building the wall with all his might, but his worries about food are actually the same as everyone else. For something that can't be quantified. People are always at a loss.
Wu's question was written on his face, Wang Tian took out the semi-finished rod scale he made, and said to Wu: "Use this scale to weigh." Because it was a half-finished product, he had no way to demonstrate the witch.
To continue the weighing, he needs to get a standard weight of one pound.
He put the pebbles that everyone had just voted on at one end of the scale, and at the other end were the two fish that everyone had chosen.
After adding and subtracting the stones, Wang Tian took the two fish off the scale, and then divided the stones on the balance equally at both ends of the scale.
Swap the stones in both trays until the balance is level again.
This gives us the average of the pounds selected by everyone.
Next, remove the stones from one end of the balance and place the scales into the balance tray in turn. Find the most suitable scale to use as the standard weight for the pound.
After being selected, Wang Tian carved a catty of words with a knife at the bottom of this scale. This one-pound standard piece will be kept in the Tianlong tribe forever in the future.
