The dragon tribe needs a law, which is not as complicated as it is in modern times, maybe only a few, a dozen, or at most a dozen, but it is not a simple matter to formulate a law suitable for the dragon tribe.

The law appeared for the first time in the Dragon Tribe, and almost all the formulation of the law had to be completed by Su Yan, and it was difficult for others to give Su Yan much help.

Su Yan needs to record as much as possible the rules that the clansmen cannot violate, and make it as simple and easy to understand as possible, and sentencing is also a matter that needs to be carefully considered.

It is expected that it will take more than half a year to formulate the law and prepare the work of the criminal department, and Su Yan will wait for the establishment of the criminal department to be in the early spring of next year.

Spring, the season at the beginning of the year.

While preparing to create the Criminal Ministry, Su Yan was preparing to establish the Ministry of Rites together.

The Ministry of Rites is relatively simple, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for sacrificing to the gods, sacrificing ancestors, holding various ceremonial feasts, educating minors, medical care, and so on.

The responsibilities seem to be a lot, but in fact, it is only necessary to unify these things, and the clansmen such as Wu, Wu's disciples, and teachers must be included in the Ministry of Rites.

The most important thing is the establishment of the household department, and viewing the information recorded by the household department can arrange the clan members more effectively.

In addition, after the establishment of the Ministry of Rites, Su Yan planned to increase the training of male and female doctors, no longer limited to Wu and Wu's disciples, expand the number of doctors, and if necessary, even arrange doctors in the combat team according to the proportion.

At present, only a small number of members of the dragon tribe team can perform simple treatments on injured people, such as cleaning and bandaging wounds.

Once seriously wounded on the battlefield, almost all that awaits the clansmen is death.

Located in the copper mining area west of Source City

After years of excavation, the copper mining area has become a "basin" or large pit, but the depth of the pit is less than half a zhang, which is not very deep.

The whole copper mining area and the residential area not far away are surrounded by large nets, the area of the copper mining area and the residential area is not large, the net needs to be replaced every two or three years, and the replaced net can also be used to make paper, it is not a waste to use the net here, and because of the barrier of the net, the copper mining area has hardly encountered many dangerous things.

In particular, the dragon tribe continued to expand its scope to find tribes to fight, and no other tribes could be found in the three days of the copper mining area.

If a wild beast comes, it is even better, and it is better to feed the people who work in the copper mines.

The large net encloses the copper mining area and the place of residence, in many areas on the periphery, a number of wooden buildings are erected, the height of the wooden buildings is generally one zhang upward, the wooden buildings can stand on the wooden buildings, a wooden building usually has two or three clansmen holding bows and arrows to stand guard here, in the past it was mainly to guard against possible external dangers, and now the task is mainly to guard the slaves.

Su Yan already had the idea of establishing a permanent settlement, village, or town in the copper mining area, instead of withdrawing people every autumn or winter, and the houses in the residential area were just simple wooden sheds that could shelter from the rain, but could not protect against the wind, let alone the cold.

Crash! Crash!

It was the sound of copper chains clashing, and a sturdy adult slave carried a basket of freshly excavated copper ore towards the area where the copper ore was placed.

Because of the restrictions of the shackles on his feet, he walked very slowly, but looking at his face, he didn't find much anger, but more numbness, labor, and non-stop labor.

Throughout the copper mining area, all sixty-two adult slaves and eighty-four minor slaves of the Dragon Tribe worked here.

Originally, there were sixty-four adult slaves, eighty-five minor slaves, and there was a shortage of two adult slaves and one minor slave.

The first time he resisted the whipping, the second time he resisted his hands and shackles, and the third time he resisted and killed directly.

Three slaves were killed because of several escapes or rebellions, even if labor was very important, but a few slaves had to be taken out to make an example, and the remaining slaves became much more honest because of the death of those three slaves.

Most of the people who wanted to die died in battle, and the rest of the people almost all wanted to live, no matter what kind of life it was, they all wanted to live.

It's just heavy labor, they used to work non-stop every day, but they don't have enough to eat every day, the men are better, at least they don't go hungry, but in order to prevent other tribes from starving to death because of lack of food, they can't eat too much food.

Today, they have to work hard every day, but they get enough food every day.

Of course, there are conditions for wanting to be full, provided that you can't be lazy and slippery, let alone want to run away and resist, and you can only get more food by working hard.

If you behave well, you can also get rewards, such as giving spices, removing shackles, changing to a better house, and so on.

The shackles limit their walking speed, not only making it difficult for them to escape, but also greatly reducing their combat effectiveness, even if they have weapons in their hands, a dragon warrior with a bronze shield and spear is enough to deal with about three slaves, if it is an archer, as long as the archery skills are good, the slave has no way to resist.

It has been more than half a month of labor, most of the slaves have accepted their fate, they are working numbly, only a few slaves are still thinking about ways to escape or resist, and even try to pull other slaves together, after all, the strength of a single person is too weak, and what is the use of running out by yourself, the biggest possibility in this jungle is to be eaten by wild beasts.

The language of the slaves is not understood by the people of the Dragon Tribe, and they don't care what the slaves are communicating, the number of slaves in the copper mining area is several times different from the number of the Dragon Tribe, there are only more than a hundred slaves, or most of them are minors, and there are a large number of Dragon Tribesmen who continue to carry out mining tasks here.

Among the many labors of the dragon tribe, mining is undoubtedly the heaviest one, because of the heavy work of mining, Su Yan will not let a clansman keep mining in the copper mining area, and the mining team is rotated in batches.

Slaves are not clansmen, using slaves to free the clansmen from heavy labor, every clansman of the dragon tribe is precious, and slaves can only be regarded as a relatively expensive consumable, even if they are tired to death, it doesn't matter.

However, the role of slaves is very large, it is best not to let slaves die of exhaustion, and it is only for the dragon tribe to work until old age can it be regarded as giving full play to all the value of slaves, in this process, the dragon tribe appropriately improves the living standards of slaves, so that slaves can work more obediently.

It's a pity that there are too few slaves, and it's a waste that the men and some children who were captured in the past were killed, and it is the best choice to work for the dragon tribe as slaves.
