Chapter 6: Opening up sub-tribes
With the orderly development of agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries, the problem of human food has been solved. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Without the pressure of food, people are comfortable and at the same time begin to become idle. And the only result of this idleness is fighting, and finally evolving into a series of law and order problems.
As the chief of the police department, Hou Qiang has a headache, on the one hand, there are constantly emerging social security problems, and on the other hand, he feels guilty for being so irresponsible as a parliamentarian.
Originally, many of these tribesmen of the human race came from a primitive society, which was a society that admired the law of the forest. In addition, the time of exposure to education is too short, and it is inevitable that there will be some bad habits that are difficult to change. Instead of putting things into law, they like to talk about things through their fists, which puts ordinary goblins in a vulnerable position.
The five traversers didn't know about this problem at first, just because they were all busy with how to modify the exercises, as well as studying the theory and technique of cultivation. However, the changes in the tribe gradually became bigger, and they couldn't see it if they wanted to, especially when some people were killed in a fight, and they really couldn't help it.
"These guys are too energetic, what do you think we should do?" The old rule, Zhang Han is in charge of presiding over the council and raising the agenda. This is a formal council, and not only the five crossing congregations participated, but also Wolf Lin and other councilors.
"Just find something for them to do, such as clearing more land, or catching more fish, or increasing the time and intensity of labor. In the end, they were exhausted, and naturally they couldn't have the strength to continue fighting!"
"Not to mention that it is not reasonable to continue to cultivate land and fish, and to say that increasing working hours is also harmful to the workers themselves. What we need is healthy tribal development, not treating all the tribesmen as slaves!" Zhang Han disagreed with this suggestion.
The planning of fields and woodlands must be cautious, and they must not be cultivated blindly. Especially in the fishing industry, the result of overfishing is the depletion of fish fry, and in the end, when there are no fish to catch along the coast, then everyone is afraid that everyone will have to go further to catch fish.
"Then again, is it necessary to build ocean-going vessels? on the one hand, to prepare for future ocean-going fishing, and on the other hand, to prepare for exploring this world!" Chu Yan proposed.
"Although we don't know what the shipbuilding technology of this world is, we must prevent the existence of forces with this ability. It is necessary to build ships, especially ocean-going vessels, early, and train a group of sailors or even a navy to protect the security of the territory...... It's just that for now, let's accumulate technology and build some simple medium-sized ships...... Who has the technology for this?" Zhang Han agreed, but was a little embarrassed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them shook their heads directly, and none of them had ever been exposed to this knowledge. Even if it is Chu Mad, he only roughly knows the concept of flying clippers and shuttle hulls, at most the difference between soft sails and hard sails, but how to build a ship is directly blind.
"Well, let's start with the shipyard and the shipyard research institute...... It's better to disperse and solve the employment of a part of the labor force!" Zhang Han said slowly.
The current situation of the human race is that with the completion of the construction of the whole people, there is a large surplus of labor. After deducting the needs of agriculture, which includes forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries and agriculture, as well as the needs of industry, and finally some of the consumption of construction, commerce and civil servants, there are probably tens of thousands of people without jobs. It is precisely because these people are too idle that it has caused a lot of social problems.
"Why don't you learn from the Song Dynasty's box soldier system, gather all these idlers for military management!" Feng suggested that in his time, the Great Song Dynasty used this method to manage those landless vagrants.
"We don't have extra food to raise a group of idlers in vain, and the current monetary system of our Terran tribe has not been established, the key is that even if we do, other tribes may not recognize our currency. Exchanging metal or even paper for actual items was difficult to accept at first. Zhang Han immediately retorted, and the other three also agreed.
"How about creating some sports, such as football, basketball, badminton, etc.!" It's better to sweat on the court than to fight, right?" Chu thought for a moment and proposed.
"You mean Keju, and what are basketball and badminton?" Meng Xin seemed to understand, but some didn't.
Chu Mad also told him a little about basketball and badminton, as well as the rules. The latter naturally understood, and then did not agree with the basketball project, because there were no such highly elastic materials that could make basketballs, not even table tennis.
Wind naturally brought up wrestling and sumo wrestling, both of which were more popular sports in Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty. At the very least, it is possible to reduce the number of casualties among athletes, subject to the rules. Chu Madness simply proposed the concept of indiscriminate fighting, which might enhance the martial spirit of the tribe.
Naturally, the proposals passed, and in fact all but five members of parliament found themselves barely able to intervene in this regard, except to vote. The savings of knowledge are so low that there is no way to keep up with the pace of the discussion of these five people, but fortunately, the content is probably understood, and I don't think it's bad.
"I think we need to have a higher level of education, and we also need to be exposed to more knowledge to improve our knowledge reserves!" Di Min said for the first time, and this opinion is what he is most eager for, if not all, of the indigenous councillors.
"So we need to build a school, don't we? We can even set up a library or something...... Anyway, Meng Xin, whatever books you have read, copy them out for me!" Chu Mad looked at Meng Xin with malice.
"By the way, I don't seem to have offended you, right?" Meng Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly, this Chu madness always seemed to have trouble with him recently!
"It's okay if I want to copy it, but we don't seem to have that much paper here! At present, the paper we use is still like papyrus, and it still has to be made by planting control, and the cost is very high!"
Whether it is bamboo slips or that kind of straw paper, the cost is too high and it is not easy to manufacture, and it is not very suitable for preservation, so it is inevitable to find a new text carrier or even establish a paper mill.
"Then find a way to build a paper mill, even if it takes a while. At this stage, bamboo slips and straw paper are mainly used as the main carriers, and you can copy them out as soon as you have forgotten the contents of those books!"
"Maybe you can make some instruments at the same time? like a flute or a harp, with a collaboration and a guitar or something. Or even some cards or other entertainment tools to enrich people's lives or something!" Chu Madness proposed again.
"Good!" did not hesitate, and the people had already passed the resolution.
"Wait, although building schools, or arranging sports or entertainment, these don't seem to help those idlers, right? What we need is more jobs, and if we can't create more food, then in the end these guys will only be a burden to our tribe!" Liu Xing reminded, and hit the nail on the head.
"What do you think, then? I can state in advance that the army cannot be increased!" Zhang Han asked rhetorically.
"We don't need to increase the army at all, and the development of our tribe has really reached a bottleneck at this stage. Don't forget, though, that we occupy the entire delta region, but our tribe can only manage a small area. In such a big place, we can intelligently manage such a small place, don't you have any opinions? This is the biggest waste of resources!" Liu Xing said.
"You mean, to establish other tribes, or to establish sub-tribes?" Zhang Han understood.
"Yes, we can build three or four sub-tribes. This will not only make our control area larger, but also better exploit the resources of the delta! The key is that these sub-tribes can become front-line outposts, which can allow us to understand the enemy's movements more quickly, so that we can react faster!" Liu Xing said solemnly.
"Besides, our tribe has almost reached 50,000 people, which seems a bit big as a tribe or even a village. According to what I mean, shouldn't it be upgraded to a town?" Chu Madness also took the opportunity to propose.
A stronghold of 50,000 people, that is already a township-level scale, continue to use the name of the tribe, the style is a bit low!
The feeling of the tribe is no different from that of a primitive society, and as a modern person, with the identity of a tribal chieftain or the identity of a tribal elder, it feels a bit off. The mayor, or councillor, feels better!
"Well, your consideration is also reasonable, maybe we can upgrade to the township government first! Call the sub-tribe the village government, and the government should indeed be slowly formalized! And the wooden wall is indeed not very suitable, depending on the situation, do you want to study the Sanhe earth masonry city wall, or the cement concrete city wall or something?" Zhang Han nodded and said.
"Let's start with the cement plant...... Fortunately, you're good at materials!" Chu Mad suggested.
"And the rebar yard...... At present, our ore is dependent on imports from the dwarves, should we consider mining those open-pit iron ores or something......" Zhang Han couldn't help but think.
"This is a must, that's why we need to establish sub-tribes! Before that, we can actually consider bamboo reinforced concrete structures, and before there were no reinforced concrete structure buildings, in fact, more bamboo reinforcements were used. Just don't make it that high!" Chu Yan added.
"You can tear down the first layer of the wall, and then try to build it, and the wood that has been overturned will not be wasted, and it can be transported to build a village!" Meng Xin proposed.
"Okay, let's do it first, everyone help organize the manpower and arrange the work well!" Zhang Han concluded.
"Yes!" except for the four members, the other councillors also replied one after another, and at the same time they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Sure enough, the thinking of these five leaders is not at all something they can keep up with at this stage. And whether there is a chance to keep up in the future, to be honest, they don't have a bottom in their hearts!
