The relationship between two people is the same as that of most clansmen, when they want to, they go to each other, and agree according to each other's mood and physical condition. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For Chen Jian, who is familiar with the marriage system in his previous life, he feels that he is not very accustomed to it, but he has gradually accepted it, after all, marriage is not a one-step process, and it takes a long process.

Between the bluegrass and the raccoon, it is a simple mutual liking, which is a special case. The real basis of the vast majority of marriages is the institution of private property and the question of property, and until these two things are not widespread, monogamous marriages can only be a model.

On the fourth day of Chen Jian's farewell to keeping his sanity with his hands, a clansman who had stayed in the Eyue tribe to take care of the wounded rode a horned deer and brought back a message.

The people of the Eyue tribe are carrying gifts, not far from the lower reaches of the Grass River, and they will arrive in two days at most. He is not only here to report the news, but also as a dialect translator for this transaction between the two sides, but his level is limited, and he can only understand a rough idea.

After getting this news, the leaders of the fourteen clans came to discuss with Jian Chen, this is a big deal, and each clan wants to exchange something, which needs to be coordinated.

At present, the highest administrative authority of the tribe is the tribal council, and Chen Jian's status is equivalent to that of a real head of government and a military chief.

To put it simply, the tribal council can represent the tribe, which is equivalent to Lin Sen, the head of the Republic of China in the previous life: behind the relocation of the capital to Chongqing and the no-way to retreat is the declaration of war against Japan during Pearl Harbor, and Chang Kaishen is not qualified; Similarly, the head of state of the Soviet Union at that time was Kalinin, not a bearded man.

It is one thing to have power, but it is another thing to have power in the name of it, so Chen Jian is only one of the fifteen members of the council until now, nominally equal to the various leaders.

In the tribal council hall of the city, fourteen clans, fifteen chiefs with deliberative powers, and some of the main figures of the tribes gathered together.

The fifteen chiefs quarreled from early morning until noon, and did not even bother to eat lunch.

The people of the various tribes didn't know what was arguing inside, and they felt a little strange, since the council was established until now, there had never been such a fierce quarrel.

The reason for the quarrel is simple.

Originally, it was just to discuss the exchange, but the rest of the tribes found that the things exchanged were basically from Chen Jian's four tribes. Most of the things exchanged were not available to the rest of the tribes, and some had to be divided equally among a dozen tribes.

Originally, they just hoped that Yu Qian'er would tilt a part of the quota to their clan when calculating the number.

This was just the beginning, and there was not much quarrel, but Chen Jian's subsequent words caused this turmoil.

He can make the four tribes in his hands give up those exchanges that the rest of the tribes can take, but the price is that from the time the Eyue tribe and others come to trade, until the snow falls, within half a year, he must have the same rights as a military chief, or become the head of the council, and fully coordinate and arrange the affairs of the fourteen tribes and the entire city.

Although this was basically the case with all the previous acts, when Chen Jian explicitly asked for this right to be engraved on the clay tablet, he was immediately met with fierce opposition.

"Ken, it's not like we don't believe you. You've done a great job, and we're still starving in the mountains and forests without you, and we're grateful to you and your tribe. But...... But there has never been such a thing, even if it was me, it was elected by the people. ”

"Yes, you said you want to be the head of the council, and we don't object, but you say you have the same rights as the military leader, so how can you do that? Besides, isn't there already a rule, the rule is the biggest, and there is no need for a leader. ”

"Just like the open land, you will definitely help your tribe get the best land. Look all around, and the land closest to the city belongs to your tribe. ”

Several leaders subconsciously objected, not because they disagreed with Chen Jian to be the head of the council on behalf of the entire city, but because they objected to the fact that the leader of the council had the same rights as the military leader.

The three clans that were bound to the interests of Chen Jian's clan supported Chen Jian, and Shi even patted the wooden board and questioned after hearing this: "Even if it is a wolf cub, you know that Yu Qian'er feeds them, so you never dare to yell at Yu Qian'er, are you not as good as a wolf cub?" If it weren't for Jian, would you know how to grow wheat beans? This land was also reclaimed by us, and when we asked you to reclaim it, you didn't agree. ”

"That is, we watched everything Jian did, so that the tribes got better and better, and did not let the tribes fall into a difficult situation. Don't forget, Ken is the one who has been guided by the ancestors! ”

Those tribes were a little scared when they thought of the story of their ancestors, but they were still unwilling to give up the interests of the tribe.

It's not like it used to be, everyone knows that the wheat beans are about to be harvested, and those heavy ears of wheat and pods make them know how important the coming year is.

Land...... Whichever tribe cultivates more land, which tribe will be able to feed more people in the future, provide more soldiers who are out of production, get more booty and slaves, and more slaves will be able to dig more land, and so on.

Now that the nearest land around the city is occupied by these four tribes, if Chen Jian becomes the leader of the council, what if his tribe reclaims the land far away, while Chen Jian's tribe reclaims the nearest land?

After a moment of silence, a leader said, "Jian, since you have set a rule, you might as well set another rule today, that is, how to divide the land in the future?" In the past, land was just land, far less important than a fish and a piece of wood, but now it is different. ”

Immediately, the clan leader who supported Chen Jian objected: "The land was nothing a few months ago, but you know what will appear a few months later?" The original wind could only blow the blades of grass, but now it drives the windmill. Our clan supports Jian, and he will take us further. ”

"It's not that we don't trust Ken, it's that this kind of thing has never been ......"

The noise was chaotic again, and Jian Chen frowned at the current situation, remembering the few tribes that opposed him the most fiercely.

Now that the struggle for power has only just begun, there are many ways to deal with these tribes in the future, such as sending their people to the most fierce places during the war.

But not right now.

Today's city is not his clan's, because his basic plate is too small, only a few hundred people, and if he wants to develop rapidly, he can only accept them. A few hundred people rule over a few thousand, so you don't have to think about expanding outward, just squat at home all day to prevent slaves from rebelling.

Now a powerful clan is in the lower reaches of the Grass River, and for the time being, the other party does not want to fight with his own tribe, but only because of balance, not because he and E Yue are kind and good people.

There are so many things to think about other than land, and this kind of ramp-off will not allow the city to develop at full speed. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity and makes a natural transition, it will take at least ten or eight years, and he can't afford to wait.

After observing it, in addition to the three tribes that were tied to the interests of his own clan, there were two other tribes that supported him out of trust, but the remaining eight tribes were still opposed.

Interests can break the trust of the vast majority, and he is already very satisfied that he can get the two tribes to support him out of trust in half a year.

In the long run, since I don't want to play ******** be the apocalypse, I can only accept the current transition stage, and gradually transition from the council to the chiefdom stage.

Looking at the tribes that were still arguing, he knocked hard, and the leaders quieted down.

"Land, since you speak of land, then look outside! What is the use of your frenzied efforts to reclaim the land near the cities when the wheat is almost ripe, and some of the land is so narrow that even geese and geese with their wings cut can fly over it? I suggest you set aside some roads and try to keep the ridges of the land in one direction, do you listen? You say it's a matter of your tribe, and I can't control it. ”

"Now is a good time, there is plenty of rain, what about the drought in the future? How to water such land? In the future, you may have to build canals, some remote land, maybe a tribe, not yours, will you be willing to send people to build those canals? ”

"I'm not for the land, I'm for the city, at least for the land, it's not for the tribes. Think about it, I have built a city with you, but what is the injustice of dealing with it? Besides, I'm just when it's snowing, and if you're not satisfied, you can recover until now. ”

He deliberately said something annoyed, and in the right, the real annoyance was ridiculous. From laughing to crying, all expressions are meant to express an attitude, not a true expression of emotion.

After a few words, the two tribes who were originally opposed bowed their heads and pondered, but Chen Jian still didn't dare to let the vote be made now, in case it failed, the proposal would have to wait two months before it could be put forward again.

In order to express his dissatisfaction, he waved his hand and said, "Leaders, go back and think about it, eat!" ”

Without waiting for those people to react, Jian Chen snorted deliberately and left the hall of the council with his clansmen.

There was also a hard war of words in the afternoon, and if he only wanted to be the leader of a small country, then he could now lead his troops to capture all the tribes who disagreed as slaves. But if you want to expand quickly, you can only accept these tribes into the system.

Out of the hall, Jian Chen called Yu Qian'er aside.

"Go to the tribes over there and meet their leaders."

Yu Qian'er has been in charge of the Fang Market, which is beginning to take shape, and when she heard Chen Jian's words, she guessed what her brother meant.

So she asked bluntly, "How to change?" ”

"I just want them to agree."

Yu Qian'er nodded, this kind of thing is exchanged, maybe one jar of salt can be exchanged for a sheep, or it may not be exchanged, then two cans, if it doesn't work, three cans, it can always be exchanged, but it's not worth it.

But knowing the result her brother wanted, she understood that she didn't need to think about one, two, or three, because she wanted the sheep now, not the more sheep that three jars of salt might get in exchange for in the future.

After lunch, Yu Qian'er came back with a smile, and the discussion in the council was quickly over.

Nine chiefs agreed, and six tribes vetoed, and Chen Jian's proposal was approved.

From today until the first snow fell, Chen Jian, as the head of the council, was in charge of the affairs of the city, including the deployment of various tribes and the coordination of land distribution and reclamation.

If it is passed, whoever violates it during this time will be expelled from the city.

After the snow, Chen Jian's rights were lifted.

As to whether to continue to reply to the tribal council or to continue with this method, it will be up to the tribes to discuss it together when the time comes.

The first step has been taken, and Jian Chen is confident enough to win over more tribes in this half a year, or to squeeze out or even replace those few leaders who oppose it.

As for the price, it was 20 fishing nets, 2,000 catties of wheat beans, 40 bronze farm tools, and 600 paces of reclaimed land.
