Chapter 41 Wheat in the field is growing
With the addition of the San tribe, the population of the entire settlement has swelled to 338 people, and the rules of some tribes are no longer applicable with the increase in productivity.
Before the snow, there was no concept of yours, mine, and everyone in the tribe, and almost all the tools and items were common to the tribe and could be used by anyone.
It wasn't until one morning in the beginning of spring, when the grassroots shouted that the three clay pots they had placed on the windowsill were missing, that Gu Guo realized that the concept of private ownership began to arise in the tribe.
The house divided a large collective of a few hundred people into a small collective of a dozen people, so the concept of public ownership in people's minds was divided into two, and it became collective private and tribal public ownership.
"These clay pots belong to our house, how can you take them?"
Cao Gen lay on the bed, holding his stomach with his left hand, and scolded the children who took away the clay pots. After a few tosses, the purple wildflowers in the clay pot lost their original brilliance, and their heads drooped like those children.
The original more than 200 people all acquiesced to the grassroots reprimand, these pottery were fired by Hongmei and others to distribute to everyone, if the pottery is lost, look for Hongmei or not, should not go to other houses to get other people's clay pots.
"Taking someone else's stuff and others don't know about it is called stealing. If you take it in front of others, it's called robbery. ”
Gu Guo taught the children in a deep voice, and after speaking, he glanced around at the mothers of these children with a scrutinizing gaze, the emergence of private ownership is a historical necessity, and he can't stop it, so he can only take advantage of the trend, and by the way, use language education to put an end to the things that may happen in the future.
The idealistic Datong society of "never closing the door at night" and "never leaving the road behind" recorded in the "Book of Rites" and "Han Feizi" will only appear in the two extreme times of extreme poverty and extreme surplus of productive forces.
The philosophers of the pre-Qin period remembered the time when people lived in harmony with each other when the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors were in harmony, but they ignored the extremely backward productive forces at that time, when everyone was a poor ghost and everyone was troubled by eating, who would steal? It simply doesn't exist.
Of course, Gu Guo will not turn back the wheel of history, and in the future, some things that violate universal values will inevitably appear. For now, let's meet the first and second layers of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
The children from the Sang tribe wiped their tears, they didn't have the concept of private ownership for a while, but Gu Guo believed that it wouldn't be long before the Sang people would understand the meaning of private ownership.
However, this is only a transitional stage from public to private.
When Gu Guo completed the cultivation of wheat, coupled with the popularization of metal tools in the future, the land cultivated by one person could feed three or four people, and at that time, there would be a great surplus of surplus value generated by labor, and the private ownership of the collective unit would change to the private ownership of the family unit.
The era of monogamous marriage is coming.
A good life is done with your hands, not with your mouth.
The Sang people finished their houses, and new tiles were added to the sides of the original twenty-five houses, and blue cooking smoke rose from the new chimneys, and Xiao Feng took a piece of dry wood that had not been completely burned, and wrote a new surname on the new wall—wood.
The wild wheat in the field has been tasseled, and the half-wrapped ears of wheat are shadowed in the green leaves, and the green patches bring life to the boring earthen houses.
After counting the number of ears of wheat, Gu Guo estimated that this small piece of wild wheat could produce four or five catties of seeds, perhaps because the wild wheat in the other world was born with a higher yield than on the earth, which was much better than the two or three catties he mentally estimated.
According to the cultivation mode of intensive cultivation in the previous life, the harvest was nearly eight times that of sowing twenty or thirty catties of seeds per mu, which was about to catch up with the output level of grain crops in the Qin and Han dynasties.
The wild boar, which was raised before the winter, is now four or five months old, and the little ones are humming and arching the hay and tubers in the trough.
This omnivorous animal has a very short growth period, which can be slaughtered in less than a year, and it only takes eight or nine months to grow from a small suckling pig to a large sow that can be passed on to the next generation. Two litters a year, eight or nine litters in one litter, and after three or two years, professional swineherds will be born in the tribe, and the tribesmen do not have to go out to hunt every day for meat and protein acquisition.
For the tribesmen, who still rely on fishing and hunting as their main source of food, farming and livestock will completely get rid of the tribal food crisis.
The construction of the city walls is also progressing steadily, and with the addition of the Sang people, progress has been quickened considerably, and a trench of 200 meters has now been dug to the north.
Everything was on the upswing, and several tribes who went to trade along the Tao River got a taste of the sweetness, bringing more hides and cured meat with their bows and arrows in exchange, and the primitive trade gave Hongmei a place to burn clay pots for a winter.
The new pottery has a smooth glaze, and these bright pottery has become a material for various tribes to rush to buy for a while, and more than a dozen tribes have digested the fruits of Hongmei and others for a season's labor in exchange for mountains of animal skins and stones.
Gu Guo still has a deep yearning for bronze, after all, after owning metal tools, all aspects of production will be beneficial.
So a pile of stones that he had seen or had never seen before, all piled up in the warehouse where the pottery was kept, and who had been busy watering and weeding the ground for the first two days, was finally able to spare and carefully pick at the pile of stones, hoping to find a trace of minerals in them.
Ignoring the dirt on his hands by the river, he rummaged through the pile of stones, and with that little memory, he finally found a black stone in the cracks of a few granite stones.
Leave it in the sun and have a pronounced metallic sheen with a sharpened cylindrical shape around the edges.
Gu Guo concluded that this was very likely to be tin ore, and the 1,000 points that were ready to be exchanged for mineralogy contribution points could also be saved.
In fact, Gu Guo also thought about directly refining iron ore, but the smelting furnace did not have enough temperature to restore the iron from the ore, and even if the iron was produced, it was pig iron with high carbon content, not molten iron, which was easy to be broken by the stones in the ground when used as agricultural tools.
If you want to have a stronger steel, you have to go through a long time of forging to reduce the carbon content of the pig iron, which is not as convenient as refining a few more furnaces of bronze.
At this moment, Licorice hurriedly ran over and said anxiously: "Goo, there is a tribe that wants to exchange pottery money for our birch bark boat, and the elm and pigskin can't discuss with each other and can't get a result, and the two teams are about to fight!" ”
"They're asking for too much?"
"Goo, you'd better go see it yourself!" After speaking, Licorice pulled Gu Guo up and ran towards the Tao River.
The two of them ran to the Tao River out of breath, the black pressure pressed a piece of people, Gu Guo counted, the two teams of people combined were at least more than a hundred people, this is going to fight, just the crowd stampede can reimburse several, no wonder Licorice has to run to report to himself.
