Yang Yi took the Jinyu man Jagula to the hotel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
All the good wine and food were served, and they had a good meal and drink.
Yang Yi made Jia Gu, a drunkard, comfortable, and learned all kinds of things about the Jinyu society from him.
The society of the Jinyu people is a typical tribal society.
Compared to the clan society of the Fish-People, the tribal society is very different.
Fish-people clan societies (e.g., the Blacktip Clan) are fish-people social groups that are united by the same blood relationship, and the members of the same fish-man clan usually descend from a common ancestor, or at least believe to have a common ancestor.
The tribal society of the Jinyu people is no longer linked by blood, but by region, and has begun to have private ownership, and there has been class differentiation within it.
According to the history of human development, the clan society was born in the middle and late Paleolithic period. Around the time of the copper and stone use, it was dissolved due to the development of private ownership.
After that, some clan societies slowly evolved into tribal societies.
Therefore, the clan society of the fish-people is a relatively primitive social system, and the tribal society of the fish-people is a more progressive system.
Most of the fish-people in Ratchet Town have only gathered in the past two years, and none of them share a common ancestor. So Yang Yi decided not to engage in the most common clan system of the fish people, and jumped directly to the tribal system of the fish people.
For human beings, the tribal system is still a relatively primitive and backward system, but for the Fish-People, it is a huge leap forward, and it can be regarded as a milestone in the history of the development of the Fish-People.
"Listening to what Jia Gu said, if the Fish-Man Clan can develop into a tribal system, it will be considered a great progress, then our Wormtooth Town should not engage in those miscellaneous things, after all, it is the Fish-Man Clan." Yang Yi thought to himself.
In Yang Yi's heart, the so-called "miscellaneous" refers to things like "democracy", "freedom", "equality", and so on, because the tribal society of the Jinyu people mentioned by Jia Gu not only has the final say in the tribal elders, but also retains the slave system.
This kind of governance model that is completely based on the ruler as the center and "I order, you obey", Yang Yi is particularly satisfied with it.
Next, Yang Yi took advantage of the drunkenness to ask Jagu a lot about his birthplace of Pandaria.
I don't know if this Jinyu man drank wine and began to brag, in Jagu's mouth, Pandalia is simply a paradise.
The next morning, Yang Yi woke up on a simple wooden bed in the hotel, and yesterday he had a happy chat with Jia Gu, and finally drank too much.
Yang Yi felt that his alcohol consumption was good, and his alcohol consumption increased even more after becoming a fish man, but he was still not the opponent of Jia Gu, an alcoholic.
Yang Yi got up and supported his fish head with both hands.
Fortunately, yesterday he was still restrained because he was bent on understanding the society of the Jinyu people and the situation in Pandaria.
At least I didn't get dizzy after waking up, and I didn't have amnesia after drinking.
The inn was already busy early in the morning, the two fish-man chefs Spoon and Cookie had already started work, and the fish-man who was waiting for a delicious breakfast with their saliva had already lined up outside the hotel gate.
"That's right, the master has made a lot of progress after saying it a few times, and the fishmen in the town finally know how to queue up."
Yang Yi was very relieved to see the fishmen in line, he walked over to cut the queue to the front chair and sat down, and ordered a breakfast.
"Cookie, recently our town has received a lot of fishmen in Ratchet Bay, among which there are many tall and sturdy female fishmen, and the master will arrange it for you." Yang Yi was waiting for breakfast while chatting with cookies.
"Mayor Poseidon, Cookie already has chocolate." Cookie said and lowered his head.
Ha, this little one is shy again.
Yang Yi thinks it's funny every time he sees Cookie bowing his head and being shy, and a fierce-looking big-headed fishman is shy, that scene shouldn't be too funny.
"I heard from Jagu yesterday that every time the river is abundant, they hold a blind date meeting. The master thinks it's a very good idea, and it seems that we in Ratchet Town will also hold such an event sooner. It's just that once a year is too little, and I think once a month is not bad. Yang Yi said.
"Mayor Town, what is the 'blind date meeting' of the Jinyu people?" The spoon on the side asked curiously.
"Well, I heard Jagu say that it seems to be called a rally, and I have forgotten the name a little." Yang Yi recalled it, but he didn't remember it, "It doesn't matter what the name is, anyway, it's a gathering for young fishmen to find mating partners with each other." ā
As soon as he heard that he was looking for a mating partner, the soup spoon immediately nodded excitedly, and the fishmen in the queue behind him also shouted excitedly.
"Don't yell. As long as you work hard, you will definitely find a partner at the rally. Yang Yi said loudly.
"Long live Mayor Mare!" The fish-men in line shouted even louder.
Yang Yi no longer stopped these fishmen from yelling, "Listen to these shouts, these are all shouts from the bottom of my heart, it seems that this is a good policy that has won the hearts of the people." ā
Yang Yi is very satisfied with the blind date conference, a tradition copied from the Jinyu people, in his opinion, it is important for the fish-people to work hard, and it is equally important to have more children.
Being able to give birth is one of the biggest advantages of the Fish-Man Clan, and it must be carried forward.
"It's a good thing to have more small fishmen, but the problem of inbreeding still needs to be solved." Yang Yi was distressed.
When the fish-people reproduced, they discharged their eggs directly into the sea, so it was impossible to determine not only the father, but also the mother.
Therefore, although the fish-people are in a clan society, they have never gone through a matrilineal clan society or a patrilineal clan society.
In such a situation, there is a big problem in the Fish-Man clan, and that is the problem of inbreeding.
Since most of them cannot confirm the relationship between parents and siblings, let alone the relationship between collateral relatives.
In such a situation, although the Fish-Man clan prohibits mating between different generations, the phenomenon of inbreeding alone is unavoidable.
Inbreeding is also a big factor in the IQ of the Fish-People.
"Keeping your own kids around like cookies is just the most rudimentary solution. According to Jagu, the Jinyu tribe gave each fish man a surname, and the same surname could not intermarry, which largely solved the problem of intermarriage between close relatives. ā
Therefore, a difficult problem in front of Yang Yi is to give the surname of the fishman in Ratchet Town.
The surname must be easy to remember and call, otherwise it will be troublesome when there are more fish people in the future.
Yang Yi was eating breakfast while racking his brains to choose the surname of the fish people in the town, his idea was more direct, and the summary was to copy and change.
For example, the surname "Copper Whisker" of the dwarves in Ironforge Fort is good, and it would be good to simply change it to "Copper Spear" and "Copper Spear".
