Chapter 47: The Problem of Birth Control
With the form of government, the rest of the world will have to be rolled out one after another. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fishing, hunting, and gathering have been able to bring enough food to human settlements, but in order to avoid the explosion of goblins, subsequent legislation is still very important. At the same time, it is time for the army, a necessary institution of violence as a whole, to be formed!
Liu Xing personally moved the contempt for building an army to the parliament for discussion, saying that he would use the ten clansmen of the wolf clan as the core and main force, and cooperate with the human race and goblins to form an army of about 1,000 people. However, this proposal was partially rejected, and training meant that more food was consumed, and there was not so much food to supply at this stage!
"The regular army can only have 100 people, they only need to train and don't need to work! In addition, a militia of more than 900 people will be formed, which is equivalent to the garrison army, and they will be soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time, what do you think?" Chu Mad made a compromise proposal.
Liu Xing thought about it, with these 100 people as officers, it is probably enough to cooperate with more than 900 militia troops when fighting, after all, the war consciousness in this world has not yet been formed, and the battle between tribes still exists in the situation of 'group fighting', so if he is given 1,000 people and can't win a war, then he doesn't need to train the army.
So the matter was settled, and Liu Xing, as the first officer, was in charge of military and territorial security issues. In addition to the regular army and militia of more than 1,000 people, more than 100 professional police officers were also trained, and Hou Qiang was temporarily the police captain to be responsible for the management of law and order in the territory.
The positions of the other four were quickly confirmed:
Meng Xin is in charge of agriculture, after all, he is more familiar with this aspect than several others. Chu Mad may also understand, but it is more of a theory, and he doesn't want Meng Xin to be inclined to practical guidance.
Feng is responsible for animal husbandry, specializing in guiding the breeding of livestock and poultry in captivity, and of course for domesticating wild animals. During the hunt, he is also responsible for leading the team.
Although Zhang Han was the head of state, he was also in charge of industry as iron ore was transported one after another. The main thing is to take students and teach those who are interested in smelting how to smelt.
Chu Mad is completely a panacea, he can do anything, but he is not proficient in anything. Naturally, he did not have a fixed position, but went wherever he was needed to fight fires, so much so that he had complained about the salary increase more than once.
Xu Momo also took up the position of shooting instructor, specializing in instructing soldiers in the technique of using bows and arrows, while Wolf Lin enlisted as an officer and became a member of the tribe general.
One of the great surprises of the goblins was that they would use clay to make pottery, and the fire-resistant pottery they fired was very practical, and was mainly used to make soup before the advent of iron pots. Of course, it must not be used to boil the sea salt!
Zhang Han is trying to instruct them in making water tanks so that each household can store some water so that they don't have to worry about water and temporary water every day.
After a few days of such a busy day, the first heavy snow began to fall, which meant that winter had arrived. Fortunately, the temporary shacks have been erected, and basically every tribesman has a place to live. Firewood and food for the winter have been prepared, so it's okay to save a winter.
There is a lack of adequate protection from the cold, so people do not go out most of the time, hiding in shacks to breed. This winter, I don't know how many women will get pregnant.
"You must prepare contraceptive means, otherwise the goblins will be flooded!" At the Winter Council, on the issue of goblin reproduction, the five of them had a third discussion, and Meng Xin took the lead again.
Goblins are burrowing creatures that can give birth to two or three in one litter, and the mother can give birth almost uninterrupted. When they first came to the delta, there were actually only more than 700 goblins. But in the past 30 years, there have been more than 300,000 goblins, which shows that their reproduction speed is indeed very terrifying.
Left unchecked, the proportion of goblins will increase rapidly, which means that the power and influence of the Terrans will continue to decline. In particular, if a goblin enters the council, it means that the policy is likely to gradually favor the goblin. But if you don't give it, it's likely to cause a backlash from the goblins.
"People are working hard!" Xu Mo immediately said aggrievedly, reproduction is a natural way, it is a natural existence, but the five of them want goblin birth control, which is undoubtedly embarrassing for her.
Besides, the force of nature is strong, and it has no contraceptive ability!
"The power of nature is warm and nourishing, and birth control, no matter how you look at it, is directly related to darkness or destruction. But none of us understand the use of these two forces. Chu said with a wry smile.
"In this case, maybe you can go to the dark elves to have a look!" Xu Mo said suddenly, "The granddaughter of the former Great Elder, who bewitched a group of elven people and degenerated into dark elves. They have completely abandoned the study of the forces of nature, and have specialized in the use of the forces of destruction and darkness, and with their help, they may be able to work out the means of birth control!"
"The key to their fall is still us, do you think they will help us?" Chu Mad felt that this was unlikely.
"She may not be able to be the queen, but the people below may not want to mix with her. Meng Xin said slowly.
"At least it's better than emasculating those goblins, isn't it?" Liu Xing said in a somewhat mocking tone.
The destruction of the body can be said to be the most criticized part of the feudal monarchy. On the one hand, the huge palace needs to be taken care of by manpower, but the strength of ordinary palace maids is not enough, and a lot of rough and heavy work cannot be counted on. However, it is not easy for guards to enter a place like the harem, so the emperors of various generations began to recruit eunuchs for this special existence.
Although it is possible to decree that goblins after having two children are to be castrated, which can also ensure birth control. But after a long time, it is inevitable that various problems will occur, especially Liu Xing's heart is also apprehensive for those guys who are neither men nor women. Meng Xin also experienced the situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty eunuchs gaining power, so he did not have a good impression of eunuchs, and did not approve of large-scale castration.
"Let's make contact with the Dark Elves first, and if any of them are willing to get out of the Queen's control, we can try to accept them...... It's okay to give a position as a family planning commissioner!" Chu Yan proposed.
"Of course, we also have to do a good job in education, right?" Zhang Han smiled.
"That's for sure!" the other four nodded back.
The birth control matter came to an end for the time being, but the marriage law was promulgated during the winter season. It stipulates in detail the marriage system, and orders the two who have lived in the concubine for a long time to complete the marriage quickly. At the same time, the obligations and rights of both husband and wife are stipulated, of course, whether it is out of bad taste, or not for outsiders' dirty ideas, concubinage is also included in the marriage law.
The five traversers took the lead, Chu Mad married Wolf Lin, Zhang Han and Feng married the wolf clan girls who had lived with them for a long time, but Meng Xin and Liu Xing were just concubines, perhaps in their opinion, marrying a wife should marry a human being, not these 'alien races'.
With them taking the lead, other clansmen followed suit, and a large number of newlyweds became dependents, and the marriage system took shape.
