The first day of the first lunar month in the clan calendar, this is the first name in the clan calendar that has nothing to do with eating. The people were finally able to take their eyes off the food and turn to the crystal dewdrops, which were beautiful but not tasty.

Chen Jian speculated that today should be the Mid-Autumn Festival in his previous life, and the weather was already a little cold. When the sun dried the last drop of dew, the last invited tribe came to the village.

Ten tribes, plus the two tribes in the village, and the two tribes who were rescued, a total of more than 1,600 people from 14 tribes, made this still small village lively.

The captured slaves were busy preparing for today's banquet, and Jian Chen had been back for four days, and in the four days the slaves had built a few small rooms for themselves, and then planted wooden fences to prevent them from escaping.

Chen Jian divided the captured slaves into five teams, each of which lived far away to prevent them from colluding secretly, and the five teams were responsible for different things on weekdays, so as to minimize the chances of them getting together.

Today is a special day, there is no need to do hard work, only need to carry firewood, serve bowls and other light tasks. Now that thousands of people are gathered together, their hair without a bun looks out of place, especially these people who come are clean, which makes them ashamed of themselves.

The food served is not qualified to be eaten, so she can only swallow her saliva secretly, and she can't eat it if she wants to, the girl named Yu Qian'er is very fierce, and the food taken away by each group of slaves is different, if it is found that there is less food, a group of people will be smoked with rattans.

The red fish carried a pot of sliced fish, the white flesh was very delicate, and next to it was a small bowl of something that exuded a strong sour smell and mustard seeds, she wanted to taste it, not greedy, just curious, but she didn't dare at all. Somehow, she felt that the girl named Yu Qian'er was a little hostile to her own women, but she didn't know where this hostility came from.

After putting the food away, she turned her head to look for Jian Chen, and found that Jian Chen was accompanying the leader of the tribe who had arrived last to enter a hut.

The hut was made of rammed earth, cutting off her eyes and ears, and she could see and hear nothing.

In the hut, ten tribesmen, plus the old grandmother and the stone, and Chen Jian, a total of thirteen people, were kneeling around a tiger skin that had been seized last time.

Chen Jian intentionally or unintentionally sat in the position of the tiger's head, and asked Yu Qian'er to pour some somewhat cloudy wine into the bowl in front of each leader.

"Taste it, it's wine."

The ten chieftains curiously picked up the bowl and licked it with their tongues, and found it sweet and had a special fragrance. I took a sip and praised it as a good thing.

Of course, they knew that Jian Chen had not asked them to taste the wine, so they only took a sip and waited for the following.

Jian Chen took out a branch, then took out a handful of branches, and said to everyone: "A branch can easily break. But a handful of branches are very tender and broken. Since we are from the same ancestor, we are going to be like this branch, and we are going to come together, do you say? ”

"Yes, of course."

The leaders nodded their heads, and some of them curiously took a branch, they found that Chen Jian's people used this kind of branch when they ate, and the leaders of the tribe who had come early tried to provoke it a few times, and then put it aside.

"You also know that our clansmen come from the place where the sun rises, and there is also a meteorite tribe there, they oppress the surrounding tribes, forcing them to pay some food, and one day they will find our heads, do you say we will give it?"

"Of course not!"

"Not only did you not give it, but you also robbed them, didn't you rob a lot of sheep and horned deer this time?"

"Yes, Ken, how do you divide these things? That tribe can't beat us. ”

Jian Chen waved his hand and said, "That's not the case, their clan may not be able to beat us, but what about you?" Which of your tribes do you think can hold back the weapons that fall from the sky? ”

The leaders lowered their heads and pondered for a while, and finally someone said, "What then?" ”

"We are like branches on the same tree, coming from the same root, and of course I will not care about the affairs of your tribe. As I said before, we are all the same ancestor, and as long as you are convinced by the ancestors, our clan will definitely help you with your affairs. Am I right about what I said so far? ”

"Yes, we can trust your tribe."

"Yes, we believe you."

Jian Chen nodded and said, "But this expedition, there are still four tribes that have not come. The ancestors protect us and punish those who break their oaths, and the ancestors can't come here from another world, so we need our descendants to punish them, right? ”

"Yes. Yes, just like children who make mistakes, there is always a mother who tells them what is right. ”

"Yes, you are all the leaders of the tribe, just like the mother of the child, how to teach the child, we have to discuss a way. Now that there are so many of us, it is impossible to call everyone together to discuss, so it is not good to discuss anything, don't you say? ”

These people listened to the commotion outside and knew that what Jian Chen said was right. The tribes used to be deliberative and okay within the clan, but now the ties between each tribe are much closer, and the quarrels and disagreements are also increasing, and the tribes up and down the same river have already had several quarrels over fishing, and these matters cannot be solved within the clan.

"In this case, there will be unpleasantness between the tribes in the future; wars against foreign races; Negotiate these matters with foreign tribes, and we will discuss them. When you go back, you will discuss it with your people, and then we will discuss it with each other after you have finished it. What do you think of this? ”

The chiefs discussed each other and nodded their heads in agreement, and they could imagine that there would be more and more wars in the future, and that the contradictions between the various tribes would gradually increase, which was a good idea.

Jian Chen thought for a moment and said, "You also know that even if a wolf hunts, there will be a wolf to lead it. This time we attacked that tribe, and we only killed more than 30 people, so I fought very hard. I will be responsible for the war with foreigners, do you agree? ”

"Of course, we can trust your ability to fight, but whether we can fight or not has to be discussed."

"That's certain, I'm only responsible for fighting, and whether to fight or not is up to everyone to discuss. But the old grandmother is our leader, so that our clan will have two people in the council. There are also the two tribes that have been rescued, and they have not yet elected a new leader, and after the leader is elected, these two tribes will also be qualified to discuss these matters. ”

After Jian Chen finished speaking, he glanced at the rest of the people, they thought about it for a while, and felt that there seemed to be no problem with it, so they agreed one after another.

In this way, Shi Shi and the old grandmother must be on their side, plus the two tribes that were rescued will also have to rely on their own tribes to live in the future, the leader of the fifteen-person council, Chen Jian, can control the five voices, as long as the three tribes are casually wooed, it seems that all the tribes are equal, but in fact they are no longer equal.

He actually wants to do a word, but now is not the time, he can only take it one step at a time. In order to appease these people, Chen Jian proposed that the first thing in the council was how to distribute the looted things.

When the chiefs heard that they were to be divided, they rejoiced, and after taking a sip of their wine, their faces turned red and they talked more.

"Why don't we divide it according to the number of people on this expedition?"

"No! Two of our people died, but none of their tribe died, and their people must have been hiding behind during the fight! ”

"You're talking nonsense! It's because our people are stronger! ”

The two tribes that had conflicts because of fishing quarreled with each other, and even stood up to fight, Chen Jian knocked the bowl helplessly and said, "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel." I propose that these things be divided into two parts, one half according to the number of people in each tribe who went on the expedition, and the other half according to the dead of each tribe. ”

The leaders of several tribes looked at each other and agreed to this division, while some secretly regretted that they had known that they would rob so many things, and that it would be so easy to fight, that they should have sent more people to follow them!

"Yu Qian'er, tell me how many things we have in total."

"Huh. There were 130 sheep, 80 horned deer, 20,000 catties of millet, 7,000 catties of beans, and 800 catties of dried fish. ”

Several tribes glanced at each other, and they understood one hundred and thirty heads, but what does this ten thousand and thousand, and catties mean?

Chen Jian explained that a thousand is ten hundred, and Yu Qian'er brought a pottery weight, handed it to the leaders, and told them that it was one catty.

They counted with their fingers, and were surprised to find that they couldn't figure out how to divide it at all, and looked at Jian Chen helplessly and said, "We can trust you, and this time you can divide it." ”

"Well, I'll divide it this time. And the second thing, what about those few people who betrayed their clansmen and even killed their relatives? ”

The leaders of these tribes talked a few words in a whisper, and the tribes who came earlier already knew about it, although they were very resentful of those people, but Chen Jian also said that he would not kill them, it seemed that he should follow Chen Jian, anyway, it was not his own people who were killed? But if you think about it, if this kind of thing happens to you, then I am afraid it will not be tolerated.

So they all looked up at Jian Chen, Jian Chen didn't speak, and quietly touched the old grandmother beside him.

The old grandmother coughed lightly and said, "If you want me to say, this kind of person should be killed." Jian said that he would not kill them, but this was not a matter of one clan, nor was it a matter of war, and everyone had to discuss it together. ”

The stone also said: "I think it is the same, kill." The two tribes outside have not yet elected their leaders, but you can guess their opinions. ”

Those tribes breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded one after another: "It should be killed, the people who killed their relatives should not be alive." ”

"That's right, this is not a war, everyone has to discuss, this is not a matter within a clan, they untied their buns, betrayed their ancestors, and killed their relatives!"

After the council voted, twelve people said that they should be killed, but Jian Chen did not speak, and the other two tribal leaders who did not come knew that they would definitely want to kill without asking.

Jian Chen clapped his hands, and a few people outside brought in a wet clay tablet, and Yu Qian'er stood aside with a sharp stone.

"Since everyone said that they should be killed, then there is no need to discuss this kind of thing in the future, let's write it down and follow this method in the future."

Yu Qian'er drew a few simple and simple paintings with stone chips, to the effect that those who killed their relatives needed to be executed, and drew a dew drop, a full moon, indicating that this was a matter discussed on the first day of the first month of the dew month.

Jian Chen stretched out his thumb and pressed it on the clay tablet, and the rest of the people also printed their thumbs on the clay tablet one after another, with a very solemn expression.

"Tell the acorn to burn it carefully and don't burn it. After burning, it was hung at the main entrance of the village. ”

The tribesmen carried this heavy clay tablet out, and the first law between the tribes was completed, and more laws were needed in the future, but it was meaningless to talk about it out of thin air, and it was necessary to discuss it after there was a case, and then carve it into pottery.

After discussing the two things, Song came in from outside and whispered a few words in Jian Chen's ear, Jian Chen got up and said, "Now that the food has been prepared, and there is wine, let's eat first, then kill people, and then discuss a few things." ”

The leaders stood up with great satisfaction at the thought of the food here, and then they heard a thunderous drum beat outside, and the sound of hundreds of people shouting in unison, and their bodies trembled unnaturally.

Jian Chen smiled and said, "While eating, I watched how the clansmen fought." ”

He was the first to roll up the curtain of the fibre cloth, and in the distance stood a row of people in the clearing, holding stone spears in their hands, and wearing simple armor woven of wicker and deerskin, which looked like straight green pines in the mountains and forests.

Jian Chen turned around and looked at these leaders, and said in his heart that this is why he had to eat first and then discuss other things. In the previous life, Dayu turned the war into jade silk, and he ate it like this......
