Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 124: Re-examination (26) The Emergence of Private Ownership
The tributes sent were not in vain, the threat of the Forest Hou Department was temporarily lifted, and for a long time, there was no need to worry about the problems over there, and the Mu tribe gradually calmed down and began to develop in full swing.
However, with the solution of the problem of the Ministry of Forestry and Meteorology, new problems soon followed, and the problems did not come from the outside, but from the inside, and the work efficiency of the tribe was greatly reduced, and many constructions were stagnant.
There are more than 2,000 people in the tribe, and the more people there are, the more problems there are, and such problems have existed for a long time, but at that time there were relatively few people, so there was no special treatment, until now, it has affected the entire tribe.
There is no problem with slaves, the implementation of the points system makes their enthusiasm high, and the problem comes from the commoners and nobles, especially the nobles, many of whom are passive and slack, procrastinating in doing everything.
There are many factors that cause laziness, and the main reason here is that there is no goal, no motivation, and no hope in life, and this situation is very serious.
The idea of a slave working hard is to become a commoner, and a commoner is working hard to become a nobleman, and what is the purpose of a nobleman's hard work? The idea of becoming a high-ranking person is not impossible, but it is very difficult to realize.
The top of the tribe is a lifelong system, unless you make a big mistake, you can only wait until retirement, most of the top leaders are still in the prime of life, there are only a few positions, and some are waiting with human eyes, when will it be your turn?
When this situation first appeared, Mu Wu launched a large number of positions, and set up Huozheng, Shuizheng, Tuzheng, Muzheng, Fazheng, Yizheng and Chuanzheng in the fire branch, and set up various owners of Tao Zheng and Gongzheng.
The headquarters of the wood tribe has unique Mu Zheng and Nongzheng, as the reserve granary of the tribe, and the fire tribe branch has Tao Zheng, Gong Zheng and Yi Zheng, as well as the salt Zheng set up later, each department is one Zheng, two auxiliary Zheng.
The treatment of the auxiliary is better than that of the nobles, and the treatment of the positive is better than that of the assistant, and the appearance of thirty-four positions has mobilized the enthusiasm of the tribe for a long time, but when all the candidates for the positions are settled, the tribe once again fell into negativity.
As long as you complete the basic work every day, it is a whole day to be busy, a whole day to sleep and hang out, and everyone is not all treated the same, so why make yourself so tired?
Even those who are diligent and conscientious, seeing these people who are at ease every day and enjoying the same treatment as themselves, will inevitably feel unhappy, wonder if they are stupid, and finally join them in the same stream.
As a result, on the basis of the point system, Muwu transformed the public ownership of the tribe into private ownership, and on the basis of the original family, it specifically divided the private property of each household such as utensils, tools, and materials.
The basis of private ownership is that production is greater than consumption, and the most effective way to implement it is money, gold and silver have been seen, but the quantity is not much, and as for copper, even itself is lacking, how can there be excess coinage?
There must be a copper mine in the forest tribe, but the wood tribe did not dare to fight their idea, and even after the wood witch returned, he experimented with dozens of plant saps, and chose the darkest color and the most difficult to get rid of.
Smearing the juice on the tribal bronzes, turning the original turquoise cyan into a deep black, the bronzes must not be exposed, but they cannot be hidden, and they are not used to hide, so what's the point?
After thinking about it, Mu Wu thought of the tin mine in the grassland, took hundreds of slaves to the grassland, dug the tin mine cleanly, made tens of thousands of catties of tin ore, and finally refined the whole 10,000 catties of tin.
Mu Wu put away most of the tin, took out 3,000 catties, and made the tribe's currency, a total of 500,000 tin coins, all of which were finger-sized rings, and began to circulate in the tribe through various construction activities.
Planting, raising, building, transporting...... After the nobles had done the basic work, the tribe would reward the corresponding amount of tin coins according to the quality of the work, and the tin coins and points were equal.
A tin coin is equal to a score, tin coin can be exchanged for points, but the score can not be exchanged for tin coins, tin coins are quite widely used, for tools, for weapons, for tools, for food, for houses, for slaves.
For each household, the tribe was divided, except for the existing materials, the tribe will not provide excess resources, and the utensils are used up and used up, so they can only go to the workshop and trading hall and buy them with tin coins.
If a child reaches the age of 10, if he wants to share a dormitory, he also needs to pay tin coins, and when the child reaches adulthood, he also needs tin coins to buy a house, and from then on, the tribe will not provide it for free, these can only rely on themselves.
Of course, if you want to build your own house, you can also do it, but you need tin coins for wood, tin coins for stones, tin coins for Sanhe soil, and even the land within the tribe also needs tin coins, and you don't need it outside the tribe, as long as you are guts.
Huo Zheng obeyed Wu's arrangement, stipulating that the daily slave meal, commoner meal, and noble meal had a fixed pattern, which must be eaten in the room, and if you want more tricks, if you want to take it out, you need tin coins.
At the beginning, many clansmen were not adaptable, but as time went on, some people gradually discovered the benefits and enjoyed it, and the role of tin coins was too much, not only can be used within the clan, but also can be purchased from the tribe.
In the trading hall, there are medicinal herbs, prescriptions, fields, resources, livestock, houses, buildings, salt and grain, carts, slaves, ...... Even tonics, qi and blood spirit fruits, and blackstone (bronze) weapons and appliances that improve strength.
In terms of the headquarters, the soil department built ten standard houses at the foot of the mountain, and the original nobles all moved inside, and the first row of buildings on the mountain became the witch hall and the collar hall, where the lower floor handled affairs and the upper floor lived.
The second, third, fourth, and fifth rows, a total of eight large living houses, have also undergone exterior renovation and internal remodeling, and the inside has been converted into ten large rooms, each with a stove, bathroom, toilet and garden.
The second row was given to the captain of the clan, and the third row was given to the positive of the tribe. The fourth row was given to the deputy team of the clan, and the fifth row was given to the auxiliary of the tribe, which was still twenty rooms each. There is a lot of spare space in the eight large houses that need to be filled.
The sixth row and the seventh row are all three large houses, the sixth row has been rebuilt into the medical department, the agriculture and animal husbandry department, and the water and soil department, the seventh row is the middle of the transmission department and the law department, the left and right sides are the new education school, and the eighth row is the five warehouses of the wood department.
In the Fire Tribe Branch, also around the fire pond, new Transmission Building, Law Department Building, Ministry of Engineering Building, Pottery Department Building, Salt Department Building, Medical Department Building, Water and Civil Engineering Public Building, Clan Building, and Wudian Building were built.
There is no shortage of wood in the jungle, they are all double-storey six-zhang wooden buildings, the interior is wide enough, and the ten tree holes that were originally stored have also been renovated and expanded, so that the clansmen's residence is not needed for the time being, and the surrounding tree houses are enough.
The high wall of the headquarters is under construction, the stone road connecting the headquarters and the branch is also rushing to work, and the private ownership and the point system are parallel, and the vitality of the tribe has been re-stimulated, and it has entered a period of rapid development.
With no threat from the Forest Hou Department outside, and nothing to worry about inside, Mu Wu handed over all the powers of the tribe to the leader You, and with his own bow and arrows and cavalry, he explored the surrounding territory.
The first task is to explore, not to investigate, this trip is just to collect herbs and resources, and replenish the map by the way, instead of robbing various spirit plants, and the tribes and fierce beasts encountered on the way are not ignored.
The first exploration lasted for ten years, and Mu Wu recorded the area within a radius of 500 miles on a thick map, and the places with tribes were specially marked, and the areas with threats were also marked.
The different colors on the map represent different levels of threat, green means no danger but need attention, yellow means danger but can deal with it and need vigilance, and red means extremely dangerous.
This kind of hidden place is extremely dangerous, except for the one next to the beginning of the wood tribe, the wood witch has found six places one after another, among which are either alien beasts and plants, or alien beasts and alien plants that are about to break through, and they must not be provoked.
There are many places that he has drawn circles, and the circles represent opportunities, and in those places, he feels a strong vitality, and there must be rare treasures hidden, such as spiritual plants like vermilion trees and evergreen berries.
But the area where these spirit plants are located, without exception, is either red or yellow, and the danger is very high, in fact, compared to spirit plants, wood witches want to find copper ore or iron ore, but unfortunately nothing is found.
However, when the Wood Tribe was fifty-five years old, the small tribe that often took out gems brought a few pieces of yellow copper ore to participate in the trade fair, which shocked the entire tribe, and Mu Wu personally asked the people of the small tribe to ask.
The quality of copper ore is extremely high, there is no trace of artificial refining, it should be natural copper, where there is natural copper, it is likely that there will be copper ore.
The people of the small tribe were pale, and thought that they had made some mistakes, and they were caught by several warriors and kept begging for mercy, and only when they heard the question of the wooden witch did they calm down, and then showed hesitation and vigilance.
"As long as you take us to find the place where the Yellow Stone is found, the Wood Tribe is willing to give you food for ten people to carry. The wood witch spoke, and the people of the small tribe were a little moved, but they did not immediately agree, and still refused to say where they were.
"We want to join your tribe!" After hesitating for a long time, the small tribe spoke, making such a request, but Mu Wu did not refuse, and said directly: "No problem, I can give you the identity of a civilian." ”
"No! we want to be like them!" the leader of the small tribe pointed to a few nobles in floral cloth clothes, it seemed that the Mu tribe was greedy for some time, but the wood witch shook his head resolutely: "Impossible!"
The nobles of the tribe have accompanied the wood tribe, from weak to strong, experienced the attack of the fire tribe, reclaimed the harsh grassland, and made a major contribution to the tribe, how can they lead a way?
In the wood tribe, it is always as much as you give, you can get as much as you want, it is impossible to make an exception for anyone, some people are born nobles, it is their fathers who have made outstanding achievements, and no one can enjoy the privileges of the tribe in vain.
How can any tribe vote for a nobleman? Without such a possibility, it is absolutely impossible for Mu Wu to set a precedent, but he also made an appropriate concession, saying: "You can become a nobleman, and your people can only become commoners." ”
After all, the world is the law of the jungle, and the fact that the wood tribe can deal with it in a peaceful way does not mean that they are very kind, and if the small tribe refuses to cooperate, they don't mind taking up arms and using a tougher way.
The leader of the small tribe thought about it, but still didn't make up his mind, but suddenly noticed that the surrounding warriors clenched their weapons and surrounded several people of the tribe in the middle, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and nodded helplessly.
