Chapter 165: Official Workshop
After the conference, the dragon spirits and the elders continued to be busy, and the affairs of the tribe were not much, and everyone's main focus was on a few workshops.
The workshop is the property of the tribe, and the five families provide manpower support, but the dragon spirit does not let each family control a certain industry, but distributes the population of the five families to work in each workshop.
For example, the Shi family is good at masonry, and the main force of the stone workshop must be the Shi family. But only the adult men of the family can work as stonemasons, and everyone else cannot be stonemasons.
Therefore, the remaining population of the Shi family, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, would be sent to do work such as gathering, weaving, roasting, drying firewood, etc.
For example, the men and women of the weaver family are good at weaving skills, and the linen cloth, mats, baskets, rattan armor and other woven materials in the village are the most exquisite and of the best quality made by her family.
In the same way, it was impossible for all weavers to be engaged in weaving, and most of the strong men disdained it, and these hands would be assigned to work for stone making, hunting, fishing, chopping wood, and so on.
Through this unified allocation, the labor force has been fully utilized, and at the same time, the hidden danger of the related industry being firmly controlled by a certain family has been avoided.
However, the management of the workshop is still made up of people from the five major families.
Shi Pan and Shi Jia are still in charge of the stone workshop.
Although stone tools are very backward, they are the most important tools of the indigenous people at this stage, and the stone tools are still vulnerable to destruction and are in great demand. With the development and expansion of the Longze Division, the consumption of stone tools will become larger and larger, and the production rate of stone tools must keep up.
In addition, Shi Pan is also responsible for collecting taxes, called 'tax collectors', and has several tax collectors who are responsible for tax inspection, and they have to check every seven days, urging villagers who have not paid taxes to pay taxes immediately.
If anyone dares to resist taxes, hum, the tax collector and the tax soldiers behind him are not vegetarians, if they can't do it, they can pull a bunch of strong men who chisel stones at any time, and if they can't do it, there will be the army of the dragon.
Anyway, the white-faced villain of Shi Pan is sitting still.
The pig family is fully engaged in raising pigs with the support of the tribe.
After the explanation of the dragon spirit, the elders have understood that the nature of raising pigs is the same as roasting meat, which is a method of storing food, so they are all in favor of supporting the pig family.
However, the pig family has to pay a pork tax to the tribe. Moreover, in an emergency, such as the tribe is in urgent need of food, the pig family must lend all their pigs to the tribe for the villagers to eat. When the village returns to normal, the pigs owed will be repaid gradually.
This requirement seems to be very harsh, but Pig Gujian understands it. When the tribe borrows pigs from his family, I'm afraid that the village is about to perish, and his family keeps pigs for a bird?
He was a cheerful man and agreed without hesitation.
The newly built weaving workshop was run by Nu Luo and her family.
In the past, the people in the village would only weave utensils when they needed them, and the output was very small, but now they continue to produce and accumulate a large amount.
You don't have to produce too much of baskets and the like, the key is linen and rattan and rattan cards.
The aboriginal linen cloth cannot be called 'cloth' to be precise, it is actually the bark, grass stalks, and animal hair twisted by hand into thin rope, and then woven into cloth in the same way as knitting sweaters.
This kind of cloth is coarser than the sacks of later generations, and the skin and flesh are slightly tender, and it cannot be worn at all, and the skin and flesh will be worn out. But the natives have thick skin and rough flesh, and they can make clothes from linen.
Moreover, linen cloth has a wide range of uses, making clothes, pockets, bedding, tents, and flags.
The dragon spirit also planned to invent a spindle and a loom, so that humans could wear real cloth clothes as soon as possible, but unfortunately he never knew about this, so he could only ponder it slowly.
Rattan armor rattan is an important military material, in the future the tribal population will be more and more, battles will be more frequent, armor is indispensable for warriors, to step up production.
The Gougong and Goujia formed three regular fishing teams, which took turns fishing, and the Wuzhipeng and Feitujia were still in charge of the hunting team, and they were the main source of meat for the tribe.
In addition, the Gou family is also in charge of the barbecue workshop, anyway, the women of their family don't go out to fish, so they are sent to barbecue.
The Feitu family also has to manage the firewood field. Because the current firewood is mainly the firewood tax paid by the villagers, there is no need to send people to cut firewood, and it does not require many people to dry firewood, so the Feitu family can also cope with it.
The winery is directly under the big chief, and only drunkards who have sworn to secrecy can enter it, and no more people are needed, and it is still managed by Nuluo.
At the Great Wizard's place, the dragon spirit forcibly sent three clever children to him as helpers, and did not require the Great Wizard to accept them as apprentices, as long as he could teach them a little medical skills.
The dragon spirit wanted to train a few more good doctors for the tribe, but the great wizard was reluctant at first, and he couldn't stand the joint pressure of the big leader and the five elders, so he had to endure his anger and accept the three children.
In this way, the tribal governing body is basically established, this institution will grow rapidly, and the ruling class will become stronger.
When the dragon spirit and the five major families completely controlled the resources and force of the tribe, the others would have no power to resist at all.
However, in the initial stage of the business, there were more difficulties than expected, and the resistance to reform mainly came from within the five major families.
Although their patriarch agreed, the clansmen, like the rest of the villagers, did not want to work hard anymore and expressed their opposition to the patriarch's decision.
The elders were under a lot of pressure, but this time they were tightly united around the Great Chief, and their attitude was extremely resolute.
The officials and lords supported each other, resorted to various means, coercion and temptation, divided and suppressed, and wasted all their efforts, and finally suppressed the opposition in the clan.
The price was also quite heavy, as some die-hard opposition forces split up and went independent, and by the time the situation stabilized, the five families had lost a quarter of their population!
Fortunately, the population of the five major families is large, and each family has more than 100 people, even if a large number of people leave, there are still more than 400 people, which is enough to maintain the operation of the workshop.
Moreover, after removing the unstable factors, the cohesion within the five families has become stronger, the prestige of the elders is also higher, and they are naturally much more efficient in doing things.
In short, the reform of the dragon spirit is successful, and the strength of the tribe will gradually grow under the efforts of everyone.
……
In the blink of an eye, there were only three days left before the change of seed meeting, and several elders were ready to welcome the guests, but they had not yet seen the shadow of a stranger.
The dragon spirit didn't care if the other tribes came, he only cared about the people of Mangrove Village.
As early as a few days ago, he sent people to enter Mangrove Village in the name of communication, and was secretly investigating to make internal responses to the operation of God Slaughter.
Last night, Neiying finally sent back the news, everything is ready!
The dragon spirit immediately prepared his army, and set off before dawn early in the morning, quietly looking at Mangrove Village.
