Chapter 23: Destroying its foundations
After reaching a preliminary agreement with the leader and Wu, Yan Zheng distributed the animal skins and food piled up in the open space to the tribe's clansmen.
A thousand words and ten thousand words are not comparable to real benefits.
After the clansmen got the benefits, they naturally had no more resistance to the transaction.
In their opinion, since the chief and the witch have agreed, since the Son of God has done his best to bring about it, and since they have both benefited, then there is no more reason to oppose this matter.
However, to Yan Zheng's surprise, he found a kind of animal skin that he had never seen before.
After inquiry, I found out that it was a black deer.
It's just that the more he looks, the more he feels that this animal skin looks like a sheep's.
He had the idea of domesticating deer, but he also knew that deer were not suitable for domestic animals.
So if there were wild sheep, he would definitely choose to domesticate them.
Back at the thatched hut, Lan Ya was still weaving the bamboo armor pieces, and she was almost finished knitting the breastplate and shoulder swallow parts.
As for the neck guard and cover, Yan Zheng chose a leather armor made of two layers of leather.
Therefore, this kind of armor is not too regular, and it can be made very quickly.
Yan Zheng estimated that according to his method of inlaying animal skins, five people could make a pair in one day.
In less than a month, he could get the entire tribe of young men to wear armor.
And now he doesn't have to worry about the source of the hides, as long as the trade continues to expand, the tribe will be able to use four layers of leather in the future.
He looked at the armor with satisfaction, and even wanted to find dye to dye the armor in a colorful color.
Appearance is also combat effectiveness!
"Good life, fix the nail piece, don't let one piece fall off!" Yan Zheng instructed.
Lan Ya nodded as he learned and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will pull every piece hard." ”
Yan Zheng touched it with satisfaction, and then got up and went to inspect the paddy field.
At this time, the rice planting has ended, and about fifty or sixty acres of paddy fields are full of green rice seedlings.
Several clansmen were pulling out the weeds in the bean noodle field next to them according to Yan Zheng's request.
Yan Zheng went to see the growth of the bean seedlings and found that there were signs of flowering, and he couldn't help but be even happier.
There are many beans, which can be used to squeeze oil and make feed, and can also be made into tofu. There is really no food, and you can hold on to eating some cooked beans.
Two people brought a vat of boiling water and was about to dump it in the paddy field.
Yan Zheng stopped them and asked them if they had fallen in every square field.
One of them replied, "According to your instructions, a stone will be laid in front of every fallen checkered field." One piece per cylinder. ”
Yan Zheng nodded, it seemed that the clansmen were very strict in carrying out his request.
Since the success of the nitrate, the tribe has been able to produce its own nitrate, and under Yan Zheng's arrangement, the original nitrate mound layer was divided into three.
So now the tribe has no excess dung!
In order to collect more feces and urine, Yan Zheng also asked the pottery burners to burn a lot of pottery and give it to each family, so that they can be convenient in this pottery, but they must remember to send these feces and urine to a special disposal place every day.
As a result, in broad daylight is no longer the code of conduct for the clan.
Even if he did so, he would be insulted by other clansmen.
After all, in the concept of savages, waste is a very serious thing.
Since urine can bring salt and feces can bring nitrate, there is no reason to pull these two things on the ground in vain.
Yan Zheng also did not expect that the sanitation campaign he implemented would take a big leap forward by boiling salt and nitrate.
"In the future, you will not only pour salt water into it, but also look at these seedlings every day, and if you think they are growing well, you should pay more attention to them."
"Yes!" The two clansmen respectfully responded.
"Let's go down!"
After saluting, the two clansmen left with a large vat, these two people were not strong in the tribe, and they could even be called thin, so they were arranged by Yan Zheng to boil it.
For them, it is also a good thing that they don't have to go hunting, and they can eat in the tribe by boiling salt.
They didn't seem to care about headhunters, and neither of them had tattoos on their faces.
And Yan Zheng also knew that none of them were married.
It is estimated that no woman is willing to marry a person with a clean face, and a clean face means that she is not qualified to tattoo her face, which symbolizes cowardice and unbravery.
But now the entire tribe does not dare to have too much disobedience to Yan Zheng's clean face.
Yan Zheng felt that this was the first time that his handsome face had such great value.
Because as long as he is in the tribe, he will make people who don't have tattoos on their faces feel less guilty and more confident.
And the clansmen will gradually find that there are no tattoos on their faces, and they are not so unbearable and bad.
And if they look closely, they will find that Yan Zheng gave all the work of boiling urine and nitrate to people who don't have tattoos on their faces.
Even half of the pottery makers don't have tattoos on their faces.
This arrangement is also shaking the foundation of headhunting.
And Yan Zheng's biggest move has not yet taken effect, and this big move is human trafficking and slavery.
As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure, and headhunters get nothing more than a tattoo on their face.
But if a living person can be exchanged for a lot of good things, then when they wield a knife to cut off more heads, they will carefully consider whether it is more cost-effective to arrest this person and sell it.
And the disguised slavery system is what Yan Zheng is preparing to implement in the tribe, and the people who buy it are inferior first, and only after working for the tribe for two years can they be qualified to become members of the tribe and be allocated houses and land.
This is the policy adopted by Yan Zheng after careful consideration, and these two axes will not only completely dismantle headhunting, but at least reduce the phenomenon of headhunting.
Because he found that the fiercest warrior of the tribe had more than twenty human heads and skeletons hanging outside his house.
In other words, their headhunting does not stop after getting tattoos and approval, but is a continuous behavior.
So Yan Zheng must make them understand that the living are worth more than the dead.
…………
After inspecting the paddy fields, there was a hey sound at the gate of the tribe village, and the hunting team that went out returned in the sunset.
They were obviously unaware that the tribe had been in danger, and the tribesmen who walked ahead waved their prey.
This time the hunting team was very lucky, and they caught two deer and seven rabbits.
To Yan Zheng's delight, they carried back the brown-red slime of the four baskets.
"One arrow is missing! Shot on a big red pig, chased for a long time, but didn't catch up! The man at the head reported with a look of shame.
When the chief heard this, he glared at him and said, "Why do you want to shoot the big red pig?" Didn't you never provoke the big red pig? ”
"The iron arrows are very powerful, I thought they could kill the big red pig."
"No matter how powerful a weapon is, it is useless to meet people who are not sober! Hunting, you have to use the idea of a beast, if you learn it, you can kill a red pig without an iron arrow. ”
After the leader cursed, he angrily returned to the thatched hut.
The hunting team all lowered their heads, and after having the iron arrow, they were surprised to find that the prey, which originally needed to be shot several times by the stone arrow, seemed to be vulnerable in front of the iron arrow.
After appreciating the power of the iron arrow, they swelled and set their sights on the big red pig that they didn't dare to provoke in the past.
As a result, an arrow was shot, and the pig ran away with the arrow in pain.
In a panic, the hunting team chased and blocked, and after paying the price of a broken man, he still let the red pig run away with the arrow.
"Lu Wan, don't be discouraged, it's just an arrow." Yan Zheng, a man who made iron, was not as angry as they expected.
The man named Lu Wan gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely find that arrow!" ”
Yan Zheng pinched the slime they brought back with his hand and said, "There is no turning back when you open the bow, and you don't have to worry about what you lose!" I'm glad you were able to bring me back this slime this time! ”
"What's the point of losing an arrow, in the future we have iron ore, we can have as many arrows as we want!"
