Chapter 280: Reflections on the Governing Body 2/2
During the one-month trial period, the three looms had some problems more or less, some parts were not durable and flexible, and individual parts needed to be adjusted.
Although there were a lot of problems, in this month's time, the loom with the least weaving cloth also spun a little more than ten zhang of linen cloth, with an average of about three feet and four inches of linen per day, and the female tribesmen with the highest efficiency of weaving with waist machines in the dragon tribe only approached two zhang in length in this month, and the gap was so huge.
Improve the problems of looms, big and small, the rainy season is coming, and looms are also entering the process of mass building.
The human plough needed to be built in batches, the loom also needed to be built in batches, and the team of carpenters of the Dragon Tribe continued to expand.
The rainy season is the time when the dragon tribe clears the wasteland, because of the birth of the human plow, the dragon tribe is bound to expand the scale of farmland next year, but this year the time of the dragon tribe to open up the wasteland has been postponed, and it will be placed in the late autumn.
The east of Akagi, the east and south of Gencheng, the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Takejo, these areas have been swept by wildfires, and all the jungles have been burned, and now only some weeds grow, and only need to set fire to these weeds in late autumn, and you can cultivate these lands next spring.
The mountain fire on the left bank of the river and the mountain fire caused by the blood tiger tribe led to an increase in the importance of forest resources, if it is not necessary, the dragon tribe will not set fire to the jungle for wasteland, if the jungle around the dragon tribe is burned, it will have a great impact on the dragon tribe.
Summer rain is always one after another, this year there is a lot of rain, the people of the dragon tribe don't like the cold winter, and they also don't like the rainy summer, when it rains, most of the work can not be carried out, can only stay in the room, do some work that can only be done indoors.
The dragon tribe almost does not need to worry about excessive summer rain, the dragon tribe's three cities were originally built on relatively high ground, the city is full of drainage canals, there is no problem with heavy rains for several days, and the dragon tribe has plenty of food storage.
The farmland cultivated by the dragon tribe does not need to worry about too much flooding, and there are also drainage canals everywhere in the farmland, and most of the rainwater in the farmland will flow down the drainage canal to the river, and the impact of heavy rain on the farmland is not too great, at most it will lead to a reduction in farmland yield, and it is impossible to lose the harvest.
With Su Yan here, the dragon tribe has many precautions against heavy rain and floods, in fact, not only the dragon tribe, other primitive tribes have lived in this world for so many years, and almost all of them have found ways to deal with heavy rains and floods, or keep the tribe away from the river, or establish the tribe in a relatively high place, and those tribes that cannot face the heavy rain and flood have been eliminated.
Don't underestimate human intelligence.
Taking advantage of the rainy season, Su Yan is trying to build a management organization of the Dragon Tribe, and manage all the affairs of the Dragon Tribe through various management agencies, Su Yan will issue orders to various management agencies, and then implement them by each management agency, so that Su Yan will also be relaxed.
Su Yan had never thought about establishing a management organization in the Dragon Tribe before, mainly because the Dragon Tribe had a small population, a large population mobility, and some things were immature, so it was impossible to establish a management body, but as the population of the Dragon Tribe increased, Su Yan wanted to try to establish a set of management institutions.
Referring to the settings of various dynasties in ancient China, the dragon tribe needed a set of management institutions that suited them.
The Ministry of Rites is indispensable, responsible for sacrificing to the gods, sacrificing ancestors, holding various ceremonial feasts, educating minors, medical care, and so on.
The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the smelting area, mining rights, shipbuilding area, carpenter workshop and other areas, and the construction of cities, textiles and linen are also under the management of the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for clearing land for farming, cultivating seeds, fishing, storing food, etc.
Household department, full-time dragon tribe population registration matters, clan birth, death, moving, etc., dragon tribe for a long time, population mobility will be relatively large, household department full-time this matter is also a lot of things to do.
The Penal Department, which formulates laws, hears cases, and punishes people who make mistakes.
The military department is responsible for foreign conquest and hunting.
Compared with the six ministries in ancient China, there are fewer officials but more agriculture, which originally belonged to the household department, but was taken out by Su Yan.
Write these things down on paper one by one, this is just Su Yan's plan for the Dragon Tribe, even if the plan has been made, Su Yan will not take it out now, because it is unrealistic, with the foundation of the Dragon Tribe, it is impossible to build a complete set of management institutions at once, and it can be done step by step.
The household department should be the first department established by the Dragon Tribe, and in fact, the Dragon Tribes now have a similar department to register the demographic changes of the Dragon Tribe.
Foreign conquests have gained a large number of people, new babies are born every year, a small number of clansmen die, and the most important thing is the establishment of new cities, which need to transfer people from other cities.
The Dragon Tribe is already a super tribe with a population of more than 10,000, if there is no department similar to the Ministry of Household to register and manage the population, I am afraid that the continuous flow of population will make the Dragon Tribe a mess, but with the population registration form, everyone in the Dragon Tribe is on the population registration form, and all population flows become orderly, almost not causing chaos.
It should be noted that when the population is transferred from one city to another, some clansmen will not participate in the transfer, mainly the clansmen who live in the source city and do smelting, carpenters and apprentices in the carpenter's workshop, which means that the full-time food clan including his family will not casually transfer from one city to another.
When the household department was established, the headquarters was set up in the "capital" of the dragon tribe, and each other city had branches, and the branches were under the joint jurisdiction of the headquarters and the lords of each city.
The household department is quite simple, the personnel only need to be able to write down all kinds of information on it, if it is replaced by the Ministry of Agriculture, it will be troublesome, just how much land needs to be cultivated each year is not a simple matter, it is necessary to consider how much labor can be mobilized during spring ploughing, cultivated land efficiency, and finally how much land to be cultivated.
The people of the Dragon Tribe have to learn to write and do simple mathematical calculations, but it is very difficult to calculate how much land the Dragon Tribe will cultivate in a year, and this matter can basically only be decided by Su Yan.
Even if the Ministry of Agriculture is established, Su Yan needs to personally lead the Ministry of Agriculture, so how much effect can the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture have on Su Yan.
Each governing body needs to be established, but it must be taken step by step, and it is easy to take a big step......
