Chapter 70: I Will Build a City
It's been almost a year since the tribe was founded, and it finally ushered in its first little life: the eldest son, Ji.
Because he was given the name by Chen Mo himself, the uncles of the tribe will also affectionately call Ji when he grows up: Xiao Ji.
The coarse mother-in-law and the strong mother-in-law gave birth one after another within three days, and they were both male babies. Thick eldest son: Xiang. Zhuang's eldest son: Rui. The black baby is not yet born.
Chen Mo vaguely remembered that it was one night, everyone was singing and dancing around the bonfire, and the black mother-in-law snuggled closely to Chen Mo, and gently told Chen Mo: "In order to thank you for saving my family's old black, when I give birth to a female baby in the future, you will worship as brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, if you give birth to a male baby, you two will promise each other."
As expected, Hei's first child was also a male baby, and in everyone's strange eyes, Chen Mo reluctantly gave a milk name: Li.
The four little kings of the water army tribe finally gathered together in the expectation of everyone: auspicious, auspicious, rui, and profitable.
Yao who went back also successively sent the bamboo rats that Chen Mo left in the Five Elements Tribe, and also caught a lot of bamboo rats, Chen Mo smiled and used ten baskets of salt to complete the transaction, the Five Elements Tribe has salt, but it is all coarse salt, the interests of the two tribes are exchanged, and each takes what he needs.
The tribe's breeding industry, under the conscientious work of the ten, has been carried out very smoothly. The rabbits also give birth to young one after another, and the survival rate is very high. Chen Mo patted Shi's shoulder with satisfaction: "Old Shi, the whole tribe, I am the most optimistic about you, because you do practical things!"
Ten said embarrassedly: "Chief, in fact, this is thanks to my assistant, and he is the one who operates the breeding of the tribe." ”
Chen Mo looked at a shy clansman behind him with a look of admiration, and then looked at the animals in the tribe who were more or less pregnant with cubs, and couldn't understand how this great clansman matched these small animals, they were so hungry? The key thing is that the code number does not match!
It wasn't until the shy clansmen took out a few leaves that Chen Mo was relieved, isn't this a fairy spleen? What kind of medicine is pure and natural, Chen Mo has used it to soak in wine before, but it has no obvious effect, it seems that this thing has to be eaten raw, Chen Mo's posture is wrong.
Chen Mo nodded, and said to the shy clansmen: "You will be called Kang in the future!
The two clansmen who were able to rename Chen Mo excitedly bid farewell to Chen Mo, and Chen Mo came to the pottery workshop of Pi Xiao and his son with his hands behind his back.
Because of Jing's specialization in architecture, Pi Yi Lao sells the old, and falsely built a small courtyard for the pottery group of Jing, Chen Mo waved his hand and inscribed the first plaque for the primitive society:
DIY handicraft workshop!
The clansmen couldn't understand the meaning of the Chinese characters, and they couldn't understand the meaning of the three ghost characters in front of them, but they felt very powerful.
When he saw Chen Mo coming in from the gate, Pi's face instantly became serious, and he shouted to the people who were working: "Quick, the workmanship must be fine! The craftsmanship must be exquisite! The mind must be flexible! Don't forget how I taught you!"
When the people who knew Pi's habits heard Pi's words, they knew that it was the chief who came, and they worked harder, doubling their efficiency.
With a large population, the small square outside the cave was very crowded, and Chen Mo decided to build a new place to live in the basin.
The basin area is very large, even if tens of thousands of people live in it, it is more than wide, and there is a very wide river behind it, the terrain is flat, the field of vision is wider, and the safety is also guaranteed.
Knowing that Chen Mo planned Jing, he patted his chest and took over this great project, saying that he would build the first city of the primitive tribe.
"Uncle Pi, Jing reflects that the clay bricks on our side are not in supply!" Chen Mo looked at the busy crowd and said to Pi.
"Chief, it's not that we don't work hard, it's that Jing's needs are too much, and we can't supply them here! Pottery bricks! I can't even afford to use things to build a house, and he actually wants to build a wall!" Pi complained to Chen Mo, he didn't know the importance of the city wall.
Chen Mo talked to Jing about the construction of some towns in the later century some evening, the most important thing is the city wall, and gave Jing a detailed introduction to the importance of the city wall, and Jing was stunned when he heard such a great project for the first time. And this operation?
We all know that the walls of a city are related to the stability of the city's defense system, in the primitive society, in the era of common living in caves, it is a luxury to go out to build a house, first of all, the imperfection of the process, and secondly, the problem of safety.
In the cave, as long as the entrance of the cave is guarded, then the enemies and beasts outside cannot invade, but if you build a house outside, it is equivalent to completely abandoning your own defensive advantage, and it is easier to be attacked. They will even be exterminated under the attack of wild beasts.
The idea of building a city is something that primitive people dare not think of, not only the lack of technology, the lack of ideas, but more importantly, the shortage of labor. Primitive society. A few hundred people in a tribe is a big tribe, and a population of thousands is unrealistic, because food is a hard wound.
The daily diet problem of the water army tribe with more than 900 people is enough for Chen Mo to have a headache, not to mention the primitive tribe with thousands of people, just diet can drag down a tribe, followed by health and disease.
In the later century, as long as there was a small problem in the body, it would be good to go directly to the hospital and take some medicine casually, but in the primitive society, when a cold was half a terminal illness, getting a serious illness was nothing more than a death sentence.
Chen Mo emphasized personal hygiene and food hygiene from the first day, and when the population of the tribe increased, Chen Mo planned a large open-air toilet outside the tribe, and there was no trace of odor in the tribe.
Secondly, Chen Mo emphasized that everyone must take a bath every three days, and they must also wash when it is cold and boil water. Good personal hygiene is the guarantee of health, and perfect tribal hygiene is the foundation of survival.
Chen Mo pondered for a long time, but he still had to decide to build the first city of the primitive tribe, although it was a little difficult, but Yugong moved the mountain, and there was a long way to go. After all, the safest place to live is the one with the city walls.
"Uncle Pi, didn't I tell you several times, the construction of the city is related to the survival of the tribe!" Chen Mo once again gave Pi the importance of the city.
"Hey, chief, I've been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I haven't seen the so-called city in your mouth, and even the houses are the first time I've seen them in our tribe!"
Chen Mo knew that Pi was not shirking because he was lazy, but really because of his limited ability and lack of labor.
"That's because you didn't meet me earlier, if you had met me earlier, the city would have been there a long time ago!" Chen Mo glanced at me.
