"Got it! We won't forget. ”

The children ran wildly and shouted back, thinking that Brother Jian was talking nonsense, how could he forget to cut the grass and feed the piglets?

Chen Jian watched the children run away from afar, and felt that when the children actually made the scales, he would teach them the principle of leverage.

For the people whose abstract thinking is not very developed, it is far better to talk about the theory first than to talk about the theory first and then create the object.

He had only been sitting for a while when the people who had remained in his house gathered around.

"Jian, how do you divide the food today? Grandmother asked me to ask you. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the people surnamed Shi who were sleeping under the grass hut, which was mainly this problem. Since the Huaihua clan has chosen to merge into one, the people of Yousong as a model clan know very well what to do, but they have not dealt with foreign affairs.

"You go to Yu Qian'er and ask her to give them some dried fish, and lend them two large clay pots and some clay pots and bowls. Let Yu Qian'er write down how many catties and return them to us in the future. ”

"Borrow? Still? Catty? ”

These three words made the clansman very incomprehensible, they were all a family before, and the things in the clan were common, and there was no concept at all.

Jian Chen explained, and the clansmen quickly understood, and ran to find Yu Qian'er.

But after a while, Yu Qian'er ran over and asked, "Brother, how much is the back of ninety-nine?" ”

"A hundred."

"And what about one more?"

"One hundred and ...... Uh, a hundred more than one. ”

Now there is no concept of zero, which can only be replaced by addition, Yu Qian'er muttered the word hundred, and went to weigh the dried fish again.

The concept of borrowing and repaying must be there, and if they are treated equally, Huaihua and others may also have different thoughts. Since the other party has chosen to keep the tribe, it must suffer the consequences of keeping the tribe.

In the evening, the people who had slept for a long time woke up, the Chen Jian people had already prepared dinner, and a few dexterous children were kneeling under the grass hut with chopsticks and bowls.

The people of the Shi tribe needed to cook for themselves, and Yu Qian'er wrote on the stone slab what was lent to them.

More than 100 catties of dried fish, 90 catties of fresh fish, 30 catties of bacon, and 5 catties of salt, these are enough for the people surnamed Shi to eat for two or three days, and the rest needs to rely on their own labor.

Chen Jian deliberately invited the old people and children of the Shi clan to come over for dinner first, which was given away rather than borrowed.

The tribesmen sat on their knees on the sandy ground, a few of them learned to use chopsticks, and the rest held bowls with their hands.

After the meal, seeing that it was still early, Jian Chen gathered the people of the two tribes together and said that they wanted to discuss one thing.

"You all know what happened to the Songhe clan, what if that meteorite tribe comes? What if we take our house, our clay pots? You know, we're not the kind of people who have nothing but bones. ”

"Ken, what do you say?"

"I think we're going to have to prepare. Even if it's a pack of wolves, there must be a leader. Now our two clans live together, and each has its own leader and patriarch for eating and drinking, but if we want to fight, we still need a leader, who is specifically responsible for fighting. ”

The clansmen below whispered and talked to each other, believing that what they said was true. And according to Song, there are many people in that meteorite tribe, and the two clans together can compete with each other, and a leader must indeed be elected to fight a war.

Jian Chen knocked on the clay pot, made everyone quiet, and said, "I propose that I be the leader of this special person in charge of fighting, what do you think?" ”

His own people shouted, "Of course. That's you, Ken! ”

The people of the tribe surnamed Shi discussed it and agreed on it, but they had never encountered this kind of self-recommendation before, they were all public recommendations, and they had never heard of anyone who took the initiative to stand up and be responsible.

After all of them approved Chen Jian's proposal as a military leader, Chen Jian called the women of the clan and asked them to teach the women of the Shi tribe how to weave wicker baskets and how to use them to catch fish.

Several women who were familiar with the process took them to the riverside willow tree to cut branches, and the men were all called to the bottom of the hill by Chen Jian.

The two clans of light and strong men combined, nearly a hundred, which was already quite a force among the nearby tribes.

Nowadays, the battles between the tribes are brutal, and whoever has more people can win.

Chen Jian knew very well that organized was far better than unorganized, and the casualty ratio was very close to that kind of indiscriminate fighting, and the meteorite tribe had already begun to use meteoric iron, so it would be a loss to fight indiscriminately.

He didn't know how to fight, and he didn't know the art of war, so now he could only grope his way around.

Summoned Wolfskin, and asked him to choose fifteen good archers, but in fact they were all from the original clansmen. The people of Huaihua don't know how to shoot arrows at all, and the tribe surnamed Shi doesn't even have bows and arrows in their hands.

The remaining more than 80 people stood in a row, and Chen Jian pointed to a big tree about 200 meters away and said, "When you hear the sound of me knocking on the tree, you will run towards that side to see who can run first." ”

He walked over to the tree, found a stick, and struck it hard, and the people on the other side ran madly towards it.

Usual hunting relies on endurance, but this short-distance charge relies more on talent and explosiveness, and at a distance of 200 meters, the crowd is sparsely chaotic.

He stared at the thirty men who had run to the edge of the tree first and called them aside. The more than 50 people who ran in the end were divided into the other side by him.

These people were panting and staring at Jian Chen, not knowing what he was doing.

The first to run were some sturdy men, and the tanuki and the gray squirrel were also inside, and seemed to remember what had happened at the top of the mountain, and looked at each other with a smile and smiled.

Chen Jian said: "You two groups of people, also choose your own leader, choose now, choose everyone can trust, and your life will be in their hands in the future." ”

Although it was a choice, after all, there were more people in his own clan, so the two people selected were from his own clan.

Thirty people chose Song, and fifty people chose uncles, all acquaintances.

Jian Chen was very satisfied with this result, and he also expected this result, so he stretched out two fingers and said, "The second thing, we still have to discuss." What if you really get into a fight with someone else and someone runs away? What if someone doesn't listen to me? ”

The old people had experience and shouted: "Just bring the eagle feathers and go to carry the stones!" ”

Others shouted, "No, if you run away, you will be exiled from the tribe, how can you do it with only a stone?" ”

The newcomers did not know about carrying stones and exile, so they hurried to inquire what it meant.

Jian Chen nodded and said, "That's it, those who escaped, exiled from the tribe." Those who do not listen to me carry stones. ”

He knows that discipline is not made in a day, so start with the simplest, let these people know that discipline exists, and then slowly increase it. Now even if he takes out a bunch of military laws, the clansmen won't be able to remember many for a while, so let's come step by step.

Summoning Song, Uncle and Wolf Skin, so that they must recognize the people they are in charge of tonight, and they must not be mistaken, this is their task tonight.

"That's it? All around me were hunting with me, and I could recognize them all with my eyes closed. ”

Wolf Skin thought it was very simple, but the uncle had a bitter face, many of the more than 50 people he was in charge of were new faces, and he was afraid that he would remember them all, but he was afraid that he would not be able to do it until the moon rose.

It wasn't until the evening that he finally remembered it all, and Jian Chen didn't say how to fight, and after making sure that he had recognized it all, he let everyone disperse to sleep.

During the day the next day, Jian Chen disrupted the people of the two tribes and went to fish, hunt and gather, which was also an opportunity for communication, and at the same time let the two tribes get to know each other.

The wolf took the fifteen people to hunt outside, and the rest of the people were taken by Chen Jian to the fork of the tributary of the Grass River to block the Bazikou to fish.

Rocking the birch bark boat, looking for a suitable spot, leaving twenty or thirty people at each fork of the river, the rest continued to search.

Chen Jian told them that after catching the fish, they put them in a wicker basket with a lid and soak the wicker basket in the water, so that the fish can live longer, and the dried fish really doesn't taste good.

After a dozen birch bark boats returned, they counted the number of fish by the river, more than 2,400 catties, enough for the tribesmen to support them for five or six days.

After weighing, he quickly tied a rope to the wicker basket and threw it into the river to soak, and the live fish in it kept fluttering and swaying.

According to the number of the two tribes fishing, no one else can help with this matter, according to the number of people who should be assigned to the tribe surnamed Shi, let Yu Qian'er take care of it.

Although Yu Qian'er didn't understand the division method and thought it was amazing, she would never question whether Chen Jian's calculation was right or not, in her opinion, it must be right.

The people of the tribe surnamed Shi couldn't understand it, but they had already been dazzled by so many fish, and the fish they got were enough for the clan to eat for a long time, which was unimaginable before.

In the afternoon, I continued to weave fish baskets and wicker baskets at home, and there were willow trees by the river, and the speed of the old people was getting faster and faster, and the new people and foreign surnames were gradually familiar.

In addition to weaving wicker baskets, Jian Chen also asked his clansmen to weave dozens of wicker shields. It is naturally useless to encounter copper and iron swords, but it is better than nothing to deal with slings and stone spears and axes.

In the future, when there is a cowhide, it can continue to be strengthened, and now it is enough to familiarize these people with this weapon.

With the experience of weaving wicker baskets, weaving small shields is naturally familiar with the road. Two layers of wicker are braided together with branches at the edges.

It's about a centimeter thick and a little heavy, and the handle is braided through it with a rope that can be hung on your arm to cover half of your body.

Before the sun had set, he called the men to the riverbank, and according to yesterday's allocation, it took nearly five minutes to divide into three piles.

Beside Jian Chen were stacked with wicker shields, a few cloth bags filled with blades of grass, and a large pile of stone axes.

Put the cloth bag full of grass in the distance and stand it, and tell Wolf Skin and the others that they must shoot sixty arrows at the target every day before they can eat.

After drawing the distance, the wolf skin took the people to shoot arrows, and the hearts of the other people who watched it itched.

Give the stone axe and shield to Song, and let him divide them among the thirty. Chen Jian demonstrated how to hang this kind of wooden strip shield, and the clansmen quickly learned it, and felt that it was really a good thing, and it seemed that they could not be afraid of the bows and arrows in the hands of wolf skins and others.

More than thirty people, one with a stone axe and a wicker shield, several people have tried to fight each other.

Jian Chen tied a wicker shield to his arm, held a stone axe in his right hand, and shouted, "Don't make trouble, watch!" ”

Looking at a small tree thirty or forty meters away, Jian Chen moved his shoulders, raised a wicker shield to cover half of his body, and raised a stone axe.

With a roar, he ran with all his might towards the small tree. The clansmen thought he was going to cut down the tree, but when Jian Chen rushed to the edge of the tree, he leaned over, raised the wicker shield on his shoulder, and slammed into it sideways.

The earthquake made the little tree rattle, a few leaves fell, and his arm was a little numb.

In this era, bows and arrows have a limited range, and they can be lethal within a distance of thirty or forty meters, but once they exceed this distance, it is all up to luck.

Now he didn't find horses, the thirty people selected were physically strong and extremely talented, Chen Jian was going to train them to be shock axe soldiers, and they didn't need too much discipline, as long as they could guarantee that they would launch three or five charges at a distance of thirty or forty meters in the future while wearing rattan armor and cowhide armor.

After running quickly, relying on the impact of the shoulder can knock down a person or disrupt the opponent's formation.

Once the formation is disrupted, as long as the coordination is effective, a local advantage can be formed, and the large forces behind can expand the results of the battle and divide the enemy.

Of course, these thirty people still need to practice their individual fighting skills, which requires mutual practice.
