Chapter 9 Get Rich First
At the beginning of a new day, the problem Yao Ran faced had a big turn, not how he should do it, but how to mobilize human resources and how to coordinate more to help him do it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince human beings have evolved to the embryonic stage of the formation of social formations, why don't we speed up this process ourselves? Yao Ran, who had no ambitions, suddenly realized a problem, that is, why the person who mastered the resources would become the top of the pyramid. Then the knowledge you have in the primitive society has become your greatest resource. How to use the resources at his disposal has become a problem for Yao Ran. The first is to make it possible for more people to work for themselves. As a traverser, Yao Ran is very "bear". Why do you say that he does not have the desire to dominate the world and power, and he does not have the mind to benefit the people of the world, he is just a little rich and peaceful, and he is greedy for pleasure. Perhaps he has traveled to an era when cultural materials are more advanced and abundant, and he will become a Shashuo forgotten by history. But in this primitive society where materials are scarce and he has to work hard every day to survive, Yao Ran's restless heart is fed and irrigated by this difficult life, and he is gradually ready to move.
Last night, Yao Ran determined one thing, that is, he needs to get rich, and he will not gather troops without wealth. The economy must be uplifted. Then you need to cultivate your own power, and the people of Gaoshan Village naturally become the first target, because there is no other option. So tomorrow's bull hunt is the starting point for it all.
Today's work Yao Ran has been explained to Xiaoyu, the raw materials of the stone axe have been formed, through the use of stone tools in Gaoshan Village, it is not difficult to see that the era that appears should be in the Paleolithic Age in the mouth of historians, most of the stone spear tools used by people are made, or simply the part of the stone that is suitable for application in the crushed stone. Then the cross-era technique was taught by Yao Ran to the people of Gaoshan Village today - polishing stone tools. Although the shape of the stone axe comes out, the edge of the blade is not sharp, so it can be said that there is no cutting edge, and the edges are rounded because the material selected is pebbles. Yesterday, in the process of drilling holes, Yao Ran found that there was no drill bit with suitable hardness, and everyone needed to replace the "drill bit" after grinding for a period of time. So today there is a simple, but not easy task, to pick up stones. "There are colorful stones by the river, and you need to go to the river to find some stones that are of various colors, or can pass through the sun." Xiaoyu said Yao Ran to every child word for word, "The person who picks up such a stone can exchange one stone for five big fish." ”
When this high bounty spread in Gaoshan Village, the children and half of the women in the village basically ran to the river, and some people who ate melons did not understand the meaning of this at all, but were coerced to the river to look for stones. In the process of searching for stones, a child was almost swept away by the river, and the process will not be repeated.
In addition to picking up stones, there is also normal work, grinding stone axes because the stone axes polished by 10 people last night have all been drilled. So today it's just 10 people. It's still a reward for two big fish per person.
There is also the addition of a job that is a bone saw. Make a saw out of the thigh pot of the beast. After the leg bone is crushed, choose a place close to the large joint, and grind the transverse cutting edge with a stone to make a toothed shape. In fact, it is to sharpen the teeth with a bone knife, and this work is risky because the bones are fragile, and those who do not complete it are not paid. Because of the characteristics of people who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. So only two people took the job. Of course, the reward for completing a bone saw is also relatively generous, and you will get three big fish.
After arranging the work, Yao Ran put on his fishing net and ran to the long-awaited hunting team at the bottom of the hillside. The hunting team didn't go out hunting every day, just because Yao Ran had just gone to other villages to trade a few days before he arrived, and there was not much stock left, whether it was food or animal skins. In order to better expand the strength of their village in the next trade, every hunter is very active in the hunt. Because of its proximity to the forest, it is not a place for large carnivores, and the relatively safe hunting environment makes animal skins a specialty of the mountain village. The specialties of the riverside village are stone spears and shell bowls. There is also a relatively distant village is Snow Mountain Village, which has no special output, both animal skins and tools. Further away, Lin Village, and Dahe Village, Hemu have only heard of it and have not been there. Along the way, Yao Ran and Hemu learned about the environment of the surrounding villages in detail. Most of Kawaki's big mouth is talking about the strong women of Snow Village, but they are not short of skin, and they don't like to trade with Takayama Village, and prefer to trade with Lin Village further away. The women of Riverside Village are thinner, but they can only choose them for the sake of their own family growth. But if the next time Yue Yuan can take Yao Ran's clay pot to Snow Mountain Village, he will definitely be able to change to a sturdy woman he likes.
Yao Ran was secretly amused, but after thinking about it, only a "stallion" like He'an could inherit his bloodline in such a primitive society where the environment was harsh and human beings were struggling on the verge of life and death. The average life expectancy of primitive people is very low, Hemu is the oldest elder in the village, and at the same time he is strong and has rich hunting experience, so everyone believes that he is the village chief of Gaoshan Village, and Yao Ran must get the position of this village head, and the violent and bloody seizure of power is not Yao Ran's routine, and it is not suitable for the current situation. Yao Ran was still thinking about how to peacefully get the rights of the village chief from Hemu. Suddenly, I heard a deep voice from the stone and said, "Stop, look ahead, that's the cow." ”
Yao Ran looked at it, and sure enough, he saw a group of cows eating grass on the grass by the river, there were as many as eleven in total, and he carefully identified three bulls, five cows, and three relatively small calves. Before he could take a step, he was stopped by Yao Ran. Just kidding, a dozen of us went to hedge against the herd, not to mention catching the cubs alive, it was not easy to hunt the cattle. The bull in the herd on the opposite side of the grass looked nearly two meters tall and more than three meters long, and the cow was only a little smaller, only slightly smaller than the current elephant, which can be called huge. The horns of the bull are angled forward at an angle of 60 degrees on either side, and they are more than a meter wide. The horns of the cow have only one small tip. This is not a star and a half bigger than the future cows.
Yao Ran looked at the wetland under his feet, and thought for a moment, "Pit cow!" Yao Ran told everyone about the plan, digging a five-meter-square, 4-meter-deep pit, and then everyone divided into two teams and used torches to drive the cattle into the pit and then slaughtered or led away through the nose. They easily understood. Although I still don't understand what to take away through the nose, everyone still approves of catching cattle with a pit. Just do it, two people drill wood to make fire and light torches, the remaining dozen people are responsible for digging pits and transporting soil, just digging by hand to dig a nearly twenty cubic meters of soil pit is unrealistic to dig it until tomorrow, Yao Ran took a few people in the woods The dead tree smashed down the wooden board of the annual rings, and took it back to facilitate the digging when shoveling the soil, the location of the digging pit was selected about 30 meters away from the river bank, all of them took off the animal skin and the three people took the animal skin to water it on the excavated ground, and five people were responsible for standing in the selected position to dig the pit, Three people were responsible for transporting the excavated earth and rocks, and the other two were responsible for breaking the wood chips for the diggers with large stones. And Yao Ran himself ran to find hay and prepared to attack the herd.
The sun has set halfway up the mountain, Yao Ran is standing in the pit full of muddy water, waving the plank, the people on the pit use the rope brought by Yao Ran to carry animal skins full of soil to the pit to carry the soil, not far from the woods came from the two shoulders carrying the arm-thick logs, put them on the edge of the pit and began to break the branches. The excavated earth was again padded around the pit, leaving only one side lower in the direction of the oxen. Yao Ran packed a bag of mud and shouted "stone" and saw the stone outside the pit throw down the rope, Yao Ran tied it and pulled the rope, and the animal skin was dragged up, and the young man of the stone became more and more curious about this big man after drinking Yao Ran's fish soup. Always consciously or unconsciously gathered around him. This time, the idea of catching cattle with a pit also made the stone curious. Although after Yao Ran said it, Hemu loudly agreed, but Shi still maintained his usual style and did not speak. This taciturn man not only had a strong physique, but also a questioning and intelligent mind.
"Alright, it should be okay, drop the rope and pull us up." The eight people under the pit were pulled out of the pit one by one, and after digging the pit for nearly a day, everyone was as shirtless as the clay figures, and the few people who had just come up from the pit even had muddy water dripping from their hair. Yao Ran divided everyone into two groups: six people in each group, two handfuls of burning branches more than one meter long. The other four stood at the back of the pit with a log more than 3 meters thick for each of them, and if a bison jumped over the pit, they used the burning end to drive them or push them into the pit. Yao Ran spread two long dry branches and hay in front of the entire trap, and the flames had been lit from the upwind outlet, and they were more than a meter high, leaving only no flames on the side of the trap. After a long fire was lit in the opposite direction of the trap and the herd, the bulls in the herd began to look around a little uneasy, with a low snort in their noses. The six men on the left and right held two torches in their hands. Fan out and start yelling loudly. Little by little, they approached the herd, and when they were almost twenty meters closer, a bull was the first to run uneasily in the direction of the river, and at the same time exclaimed, "Moo! ~~”
Yao Ran was taken aback, why didn't this bison play cards according to the routine, but if he didn't enter the tiger's den, he would get the tiger, if he let the first cow escape at the beginning, all the cattle would follow, and all the efforts would be wasted. Yao Ran gritted his teeth and shouted to stop him, and he ran forward a few steps desperately. The frightened bison did not run, but he did not run very fast, and when he saw the flames approaching him, he dodged again, turned around and ran towards the place where there were no flames. When I ran to the edge of the trap, I saw that there was a pit and instinctively jumped and the front hooves were already on the edge of the pit, but the body was too heavy and fell into the pit in an instant, and when I saw a cow falling into the pit, the others were even more excited, yelling and shrinking the encirclement, and the stone was full of surprise and admiration, and the two torches probed forward to scare the cattle. The leading bull saw that his partner disappeared into the encirclement, and the only IQ thought that his partner had escaped and ascended to heaven, so he ran in the direction of the cow in front of him, and the other bison naturally ran with the cow, and everyone hurriedly ran behind the cow's buttocks, and the head cow ran to the trap in front of him, and when he saw the trap, he immediately jumped over the trap with his hind legs, but he was seized by Hemu and shouted, and the four people and two trees got up, and the head cow in the air pushed the trap backwards with his head, Because there was no focus on the position of the bull's head, the center of inertia of the bull's head just changed the direction, and the bull that was more than three meters long and more than two meters high smashed into the bull that fell into the trap before, and the weight of several thousand catties suddenly pressed the bull below only had air intake and no air out.
