Volume 2 Planting Chapter 159 The Original Wedding/2 (Proofreading)
For the primitive times when you didn't even do confinement, it was indeed a luxury to give up a day's work specifically for a wedding.
The birth rate of the tribal population is so low, Wang Tian estimates that it is because of the sequelae left by confinement, so the wedding can be held without delay, but the confinement system must be implemented.
Of course, if because of Wang Tian's soft-shelled turtle soup, more than 40 women in the tribe who are suitable for childbirth will all give birth with big bellies next year, and he doesn't mind shortening the confinement time to half a month.
In later generations, Western medicine believed that the Chinese confinement theory was groundless, and Wang Tian also thought that some things were nonsense, but things could not be generalized, but they could not be generalized.
Wang Tian continued: "I advocated for weddings because I wanted to solve the root cause of blood confusion, and now our tribe is eager for other tribes to join. ”
"Wu think about it, if these new people who join in still mess around with their previous concepts, because they have no blood relationship with the Tianlong tribe, they just mess around, and there is no loyalty between men and women, then wouldn't it be long before everyone's blood relationship will be chaotic again?"
Wang Tian paused for a moment, organized his words and continued: "I will unite them as husband and wife, and ask them to be faithful to each other, so that the children they give birth to can be sure of their parents. ”
"Instead of knowing only the mother and not the father, as before, these next generations will be able to choose their spouses through different parents."
In this way, after 5 generations, the original population of the Tianlong tribe can also be judged from each other's parents whether it can be distributed, so that the range of mate choices of the descendants will become larger. ”
"Through such rituals, everyone understands this truth, and then passes it on from generation to generation, not only will the number of our tribe not be lost, but the population will become more and more prosperous."
Those tribes who follow the guidance of the gods, a couple can have seven or eight children in their lifetime, or even more, and most of them can survive, Wu, have you ever thought about this concept? ”
In order to make Wu accept the concept of wedding, Wang Tian had to move out of God's will, but his words hit Wu's heart directly.
Wu already felt that his fingers were not enough, and he naturally believed in the will of God that the Son of Heaven said, so he began to calculate the mathematical problem of how many children a couple could give birth to if they had 7 children......
"Son of Heaven, you calculate, according to you, how many children can adults in the tribe have now?" Wu gave up completely after realizing that he couldn't calculate at all.
Wang Tian was already moved to see Wu, and this question was exactly what he cared about, after all, people born in this generation will be the backbone of his subordinates in the future.
"Wu, let's count that a woman can have 5 children in her life, and all of them can support adults, according to the current 45 women in the tribe, after 20 spring and autumn, the tribe will increase 225 adults."
"If we continue to calculate in the same way, in another 20 spring and autumn, there will be 1,125 more people in the tribe."
"The numbers of both generations are just adults when they grow up, if they each find a spouse, and their spouses get it by exchanging goods."
Then the number of adults in the army will be doubled, that is to say, from the chief, within three generations, just according to the natural population reproduction, the total number of the tribe will exceed 2,000 people, even if the female is married, the male is married, the population of the tribe will be more than 1,000 in three generations."
Wu didn't expect that this marriage system would have such a profound meaning, and he was also stunned by Wang Tian's data.
Wu can only distinguish between the number of people within 100, which is more than 100, and it is not clear at all whether it is in the thousands, he thought for a while and then said:
"Son of Heaven, your eyes can see where we can't see, to be honest, I have never thought about things so far, how many people will there be in the tribe after 40 spring and autumn periods?"
Wang Tian knew that he couldn't understand the concept of 1,000 people when he heard Wu say this, so he thought about how to make Wu understand the concept of 1,000 people and 2,000 people.
"Well, let's put it this way, after 20 spring and autumn periods, the total number of people in the tribe will at least double the current number, and if it is more, it will be tripled, which means that there are at least two tribes with so many people."
"From now on, after 40 spring and autumn periods, the total population of the tribe will have at least 10 people from the current tribe, and if there are more, there will be 20 people from the current tribe."
Wu sat there dumbfounded, motionless, this time he understood, the reason why he was stunned was not that he was confused, but that he was frightened by this data.
Seeing this, Wang Tian continued to increase his weight: "If we can get 50 laborers now, then after 40 spring and autumn, this number will change from the original minimum of 1,000 to 2,000 to 2,000 to at least 2,000 to 4,000!"
Of course, Wang Tian's statement is too idealistic, and it is impossible to do it with the current medical and health conditions in the primitive era.
Even before the liberation of China in later generations, if you want to achieve such a standard, you can only pray to God and worship Buddha. It was not until the group of great people of that era led the Chinese people to victory and open development that it became possible.
After Wu finally figured it out, he still had questions, weren't these adults in the tribe just married as regular mates? Except for the party, no one is messing around!
Wu said his doubts, but Wang Tian didn't think so, the human ethics and laws and regulations of later generations are so perfect, but all kinds of peachy news of dog skin are still emerging.
Not to mention this primitive society where there is not even a sense of shame, in fact, Wang Tian wants to make this marriage ceremony, or marriage system, and does not expect it to be able to bind everyone.
You can't bind everyone, but you can always bind some.
In primitive times, it would be the law that could play a binding role, because in this era, public order and good customs, human morality, and social pressure of public opinion did not exist at all.
In later generations, it is just the opposite, the law will not care about the affairs of the two of you, and adopts the attitude of the people not raising the situation and the officials not holding them accountable.
It is difficult to say which of the two eras has a more correct attitude towards this matter.
Wang Tian continued: "When two people become spouses, I call the relationship between the two husband and wife, the man is the husband of the woman, and the woman is the wife of the man. ”
"The determination of this relationship must be as solemn as the sacrifice to the gods, because this is a sacred thing in itself, and without the union of two people, where can new life be born?"
"The conclusion of the relationship between husband and wife is solemnly announced in the form of a celebratory ceremony, and this ceremony is passed down as a custom, and every spouse is to be celebrated."
"Husband and wife are spouses, but spouses are not necessarily husband and wife, we must let everyone understand that only as spouses of husband and wife can get everyone's blessings, and only husbands and wives who have held ceremonies can be recognized by the tribe and everyone."
"If we didn't pay attention to this from the beginning, how could such a custom come to be? Morality and ethics will not be established, society will not be able to move forward, and where will civilization be born. ”
"Once spouses have ceremonies to become husband and wife, they must be loyal to each other, they must not see different ideas, they like the new and hate the old, and husband and wife have the responsibility and obligation to raise and take care of their children together, and they must not abandon their children, and they must not ignore them, and they cannot ignore them......
The more Wang Tian spoke, the more excited he became, completely forgetting Yiwu's Mandarin level, and unable to understand what he said at all.
And there seemed to be anger in his words, more like he was speaking to himself.
Wu didn't understand, but he also discovered the strangeness of the Son of Heaven, he may not have imagined that the noble Son of Heaven in the tribe actually has a fragile side and an unbearable past!
The other little man sitting at the corner of the table seemed to understand half of it, and from time to time his eyes flashed with a strange look! But it's a pity that her focus doesn't seem to be on the mood of the Son of Heaven.
"Announce it in public! To be recognized and recognized by everyone! ”
……
Is it true that no one will be able to rob him of Brother Tianzi in the future? Someone else to rob it? Well! Let everyone in the tribe beat him to death!
"Brother Tianzi, let's have a wedding tonight!"
