The Rock Tribe currently has one hundred and sixteen people, and only six are over forty years old, five of whom are elders. There are forty-eight between the ages of thirteen and forty, fifty-five between the ages of five and thirteen, and seven for infants.

Among the adults, the warriors were originally sixteen, but four have recently been added, making up twenty integers. There are also eight people about fourteen years old who are making pottery, two frail men, and one disabled, so there are seventeen women left, excluding Rong and one with children, and the current gathering team is fifteen people, which is not as many as soldiers.

However, as long as it lasts for a few more years, when this group of children grows up, the overall strength will be greatly enhanced, maybe the old man Matsu plans to do so, and when the big girl or Dongdong learns to return, he will be able to develop rapidly immediately.

Of course, now that Su Yang has appeared, then the original development route will have to be changed.

For example, he will solve the problem of bachelors in the tribe as soon as possible, and in the future, both men and women in the rock tribe will only enter and leave, simply put, men will marry wives and women will recruit sons-in-law, and use this method to increase the adult working population.

In this period, it is forbidden to marry within the clan, and those with blood cannot marry. The rock tribe is better, because there are many caves, so the bloodline can be clearly distinguished inside, but the bloodline of some tribes is more chaotic, only knowing that there is a mother but not a father, and the root cannot be found, so it is generally intermarried with other tribes.

In fact, it is difficult to marry a wife in the first place, although it is not required to have a car or a house, but it is necessary to ask for a dowry, especially the inequality between men and women, which is similar to modern times.

Just as Chun wants to ask for a wife from another tribe, he needs to pay three to six animal skins; On the other hand, if the Rock Tribe marries a woman, they can get three to six animal skins as a gift.

Before Su Yang exchanged for a merchant girl, Jiang Li offered a gift of five animal skins, this value is cheap in Su Yang's opinion, but it is difficult to implement. The Rock Tribe can't save a few animal skins all year round, which can only solve the problem of a warrior begging for a wife, and it doesn't fit the actual situation at all.

But there is a way to solve this matter, that is, to exchange men for women, also taking spring as an example, suppose you come back from the chaotic tribe to ask for a daughter-in-law, as long as you send a man from the rock tribe to the past, you only need one to three skins of gift money, which is more than half cheaper than before.

The cruel truth is in front of you, two men are smaller than one woman, and the value deviation is huge!

In the process of exchange, you can also use the method of Tian Ji horse racing, the warrior is equivalent to a first-class horse, if you send it out for a frail or disabled old woman back, you don't have to pay a gift.

After learning about this situation, Su Yang, who was a money-loser, shouted that the world was unfair, thinking that he was busy making money all day long in modern times, and did not hesitate to study veterinary medicine to go to the countryside, earning all the hard money, and the fee for treating livestock was generally twice as much as the drugs used, and he would earn more than ten yuan once he went to the clinic. And castrating a pig costs five yuan, of which three yuan is spent to buy the OEM on the pig's ears, which earns two yuan.

All the income added up every month can't buy a square meter house, but there is a public car, a second-hand Chang'an van worth 25,000! As an orphan, it is really difficult for him to take a daughter-in-law, otherwise he would not have confessed to the goddess all the time. I didn't think that now that it is in the primitive period, it is so difficult to get a daughter-in-law, what a tragedy!

After calming down, his idea at this time was to make a loss-making deal and use pottery in exchange for people, and now there are eight single men over the age of thirteen in the tribe, and nine women, but four women are widows, and their previous spouses have died.

He took an average, it costs four skins to marry a daughter-in-law, and two skins to recruit a son-in-law, which calculates that it takes at least fifty Taos to increase the population by seventeen, which is really cheap. But it's not an easy pairing, so he expects twenty-five people to come back.

But this person can't be changed if you want to, it's like the total population of the chaotic tribe is only fifty-two, of which there are only twenty-four adults in total, and it is estimated that there are no two single people.

Fortunately, there is a virtual market, there are more than forty tribes in the vicinity, with his eloquence, he can fully reach this deal, plus winter is coming, each tribe is short of materials to feed the population, it is also a good time to "open the transfer", after this point in time, into the winter break, if you want to change people, you can't reach such a far place.

After calculating this account, plus his debts, if you want to exchange for a population, it will cost at least two hundred and fifty pottery, and there are only about twenty days left, so you can't do it. And to ensure that more than 100 people survive the winter safely, it is also necessary to reserve a large amount of materials, which is even more stretched.

"It seems that only a part of the salt has been traded."

Su Yang thought about the cost and how to arrange the manpower, and after he figured it out, he immediately went to meet the elders, which would be about ten o'clock in the morning, and he couldn't afford to delay it.

First of all, he proposed to let the warriors go out hunting, but they couldn't run far, they had to go out on the same day and come back on the same day, and they couldn't hunt dangerous animals, and saving their lives came first. Because Matsu took eight warriors out, now there are only twelve people, and at least three people must be left to be in charge of the tribal arrangements, and only nine can go out, so there are fewer people.

For this reason, he suggested joining forces with the Rebellion and dividing the prey equally, but the Rebellion might not consume as much meat, so he would exchange clay pots or salt for more meat. When the time comes, these meats will be marinated into bacon, and even some offal can be marinated, so you don't have to worry about not being able to store them.

In the past, the dried meat in the tribe was roasted and then dried, which had a short storage cycle and was easy to spoil. And bacon is different, I dare not say far away, it is absolutely no problem to store it for a year.

This is the first step, after obtaining the consent of the elders, he immediately asked Chun to lead the team out, and went directly to discuss with Jiang Li, just said that it was his intention, and Jiang Li would not refuse if he wanted to.

And his father Yong and his two brothers, plus the brute who was missing an arm, a total of four people, patrolled the periphery of the tribe to prevent people from other tribes from fighting the autumn wind.

After the arrangement was in place, he proposed to send ten people from the fifteen people in the collection team to boil salt, and the other five people went all out to pick the kind of beans they had tried last time, which was needed to cook salt, although a lot had been collected before, but it was not enough.

This was the second step, and it was easy to convince the elders, after all, the temptation of salt was too great, and even Matsu would agree to it in the tribe.

The next is the arrangement for children, there are twelve who have reached the age of ten, all of them are sent to the pottery team to help, at this age, you should be able to learn to make pottery, this proposal is not a problem, anyway, after reaching the age of ten you must work.

Then there were more than 30 children, ranging from four to nine years old, who did only one thing: prepare enough firewood, whether it was branches or hay, as long as it could be burned nearby. and the forage that the rabbit eats every day.

Of course, the warriors did not have to hunt every day, which was too fortunate and physically unbearable. When they are not hunting, they cut down trees, carry them back, and hand them over to the children to dry and use as firewood, including bamboo, and the branches can also be burned.

The children are led by his two frail uncles, and the four warriors who are responsible for the security of the tribe are also assisted, so that there are no accidents in the process.

As for the elders, they also have something to do, responsible for exorcising evil spirits, burning pottery, sacrificial divination, and helping to take care of babies and rabbits. When Matsu returns with eight warriors, the workforce will also be strengthened.

It can be said that Su Yang has arranged everyone in the Rock Tribe to operate, everyone has something to do, there is no way, this is a rush for time.

In fact, he has a killer trick, and after the salt is boiled, he goes to fish, and the macaque drunken fruits he picked before are still in the chaotic tribe.

"Go boil the salt now." Su Yang called ten women and went straight to the cave where the clay pots were stored, preparing to boil three pots first, and after trying the results, he was increasing the number of clay pots.
