Chapter 50: The Commune
Link's first thing to do was to count the population and materials of each tribe, and disperse the personnel of each tribe, in this matter Link first encountered trouble, the other tribes were very obedient because of the loss of their chiefs and priests, but the tribe that took the initiative to surrender did not obey and adopted a non-violent and uncooperative attitude, and the Shadow Man did not intervene because of the mentality of containing Link, which made the chief even more arrogant.
Faced with this situation, Link said that either the other party unconditionally obeyed his own arrangement, or he would simply be independent of the United Tribe, and the materials and population did not need to be handed over, and he could send a hundred herdsmen to participate in the excavation work, and finally under the instruction of the Ghost Man, the other party chose to be independent and agreed to send eighty herdsmen to participate in the excavation, but the food of the herdsmen was borne by the United Tribe.
Link agreed to the other party's request, rather than letting the other party join his own system and make things internal, it was better to let the other party take on certain obligations and exclude the other party.
Eventually, the total number of the United Tribes reached nearly 2,000, and if you add the Santarin captives, it would be more than 2,000, and the top priority for Link was food and water.
There was neither water nor oasis in the camp, and Link's tribe had five oases, but two of them were burned down by the Santarin, and the average number of people in each oasis in this area could not exceed six hundred, and if they exceeded, some people would starve to death, and now the problem of the new tribe was in front of them, the number of people in the tribe had exceeded the limit, and even by the minimum standard, people would starve to death.
After thinking about it in his heart, Link couldn't help but scold the Santalin Society, if these guys didn't burn down the oases and had five oases themselves, they would be able to solve the food problem very easily, although there was still a lot of food stored in the Santalin Society's camp, but it couldn't be replenished at all, so they could only sit and eat.
Once the food in the camp is exhausted, there will be blood transfusions from the three oases to the camp, and the consumption of camels on the road will be a lot of money, sighing, Link consulted the merchant's opinion, the merchant can not do anything about Link's predicament, there will be no merchant in the desert and the tribe to do grain business, the sand dunes in the desert can not drive heavy trucks at all, and the transportation of goods in the desert can only rely on light carts and camel caravans, and the consumption of grain and water in the middle is several times that of transport, even if it does not cost to transport grain to the desert, it is a drop in the bucket if it does not form a scaleγ
After thinking about it for a while, Link could only put this issue aside for the time being, the next big thing is the deployment of personnel, the first thing to meet the requirements of the Yin Ghost people to start the camp as soon as possible, Link does not plan to let the original slaves in the camp continue to be hard laborers, these slaves have a blood feud with the Santarin Society, dare to fight and dare to rush at critical moments, and it is Link who led people to rescue, and the clansmen who are second only to the original tribe in terms of proximity are objects that can be fought for.
After thinking about it for a while, Link announced his own arrangement, with the one-eyed old Joe as the captain, and selected the original soldiers or warriors to reserve a hundred people to form the war team, equipped with the captured Santarin Guild equipment, with camels as mounts, and among the more than three hundred rescued slaves, twenty strong people were selected to be organized into the chieftain's guard, wearing chain armor and desert heavy horses. All of them were selected as two hundred strong men, organized into a full-time garrison, one hundred remained in the camp, one hundred guarded the three oases, the chieftain's guard and half of the warlords remained in the camp, and half of the warlords patrolled back and forth in the three oases.
The other tribesmen broke the original tribal organization and dispersed into three oases, and organized into three production teams as a whole, appointing three production captains and three militia captains respectively, each production team numbered more than 500 people, each brigade was organized into ten squadrons, and each squadron was organized into five squadrons, men and women were organized separately, and the teams were used as units for labor, the men either raised camels, or hunted desert lizards, or repaired the trees in the oases, and the women either collected desert spices or collected desert linen and weaving.
In addition, Link himself served as the treasurer, in charge of all the materials in the tribe, and four priest apprentices served as the treasurer, respectively in charge of the three production teams and the warehouse of the camp, and the entry and exit of materials must be recorded and acted by Link's warrant.
There was also a Military Judge Advocate General's Office, which was headed by several veterans of the Linkeyuan tribe and was responsible for the military justice of all combatants, and a Military Training Department, which was headed by several foreign tribal fighters, who was responsible for military training and militia training.
There was also a training office, headed by Niata with a few priestly apprentices, who were responsible for imparting medical and health knowledge to the combatants, training military doctors, and compiling children's teaching materials, and in the future opening schools in each production unit to teach the lingua franca and other knowledge.
Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard this, letting children read and write was something that had never happened in the desert, and they were not qualified to be priests, but Link insisted on this: "The warriors of the tribe fight with a moment of blood and bravery, look at this encounter with the Yin Soul Mage, often the casualties are too large and they will collapse at the first touch, on the other hand, the Santalin Society, often more than half of the casualties still dare to fight to the death, do not read and do not know the righteousness, reading is to understand what they are fighting for." β
Everyone was silently thinking about this question: "What the hell are you fighting for?" β
Before everyone could figure it out, Link's next order caused an uproar.
Since then, the tribe has implemented a system of division of labor, as a guard, as a soldier, or in the production team to undertake different labor services, the daily work is different, the tribe from now on to settle the food and water that should be paid to the tribe, and even all the materials such as iron pots and tents bought by the tribe, the different labor branches of various labor services will be announced by the teaching in each production team, and all the tribesmen must be made aware of it.
The captain is responsible for the statistics of the work of the production team, and the chief is responsible for the division of the troops, and there is an audit office, which is in charge of Link with the last few priest apprentices, who is responsible for the audit of all the work and the settlement of the materials in and out of the warehouse.
There is also a "caring person" system, all ethnic groups have a problem with the assignment of tasks, or if they find that the relevant people are colluding with each other, they will say it in public, and the "caring person" will report it directly to Link, but if there is a rumor, they will bear the corresponding responsibility.
Then Link announced several military and civil laws, the military law is in charge of the military justice department, probably the punishment of desertion, disobedience and other punishments, and the civil law is responsible for the production captain, and the principle is to return a tooth for a tooth. In addition, the officers and captains may rotate from time to time.
Everyone listened to the matter of military law, and many people were still secretly frightened about the division of work, which had broken the thousand-year-old tradition of the Beidai barbarians, and it could even be said that the warrior-shepherd slave system had been de facto abolished, and even gave women a certain status.
In the original system of the Bedai barbarians, the tribe distributed the goods according to the family unit of the warrior, in fact, the warrior was in the position of the ruling class, and the freemen and women were attached to the warrior, although the spices collected by the women and the linen made could be exchanged for various materials, but the women were still the appendages of the warriors, and the herdsmen were completely exploited class working hungry.
In the current division of labor system, Link is based on the distribution system of work based on individual units, although the materials obtained by the shepherd slaves and women may still not be much, but it is much better than the arbitrariness of the previous completely arbitrary interpretation.
It can't be seen in the short term, but in the long run, the status of desert women and shepherds will definitely rise.
The warriors were a little noisy, Link announced that he would regularly lead his troops to take turns hunting sandworms and other large prey, which calmed the emotions of the warriors, and Link announced that each of the three production teams would send a squadron with a total of 150 people, plus 80 people from the independent tribes, as well as the garrison of the original Santalin Society trapped in the pit and the overseer of Bei Dai to gather 300 people to carry out excavation work, and then each production team was rotated regularly.
The clansmen, mainly the warriors, were a little unacceptable to Link's customization, and in the end, they still watched the lively Yin Mage make a final decision and succeed for Link.
The tribesmen were talking about the novel division of labor, the women and the herdsmen were excited, the warriors and the freedmen were a little stupid, and many of them didn't hear Link's next words.
"Since it is a new tribe, it must have a new name, and we will call it Manniu Commune in the future. β
