In primitive tribal societies, the institution of marriage was closely associated with the prosperity of the tribe and the continuation of kinship.

Although polygamy is not forbidden in the Eagle tribe, most of the people follow monogamy.

In the Eagle Tribe, the only thing that is strictly forbidden in terms of marriage is intermarriage.

From the perspective of modern people, there are obvious harms and risks associated with intermarriage, but primitive people in this world are also aware of this matter, and it is still very difficult in Zhang Duo's view.

So as a small tribe of only 300 people, how did the Eagle Tribe avoid growing the tribe under the condition of consanguineous marriage?

Last night, the leader Rui's reply to Zhang Duo was like this.

In order to promote inter-tribal marriage exchanges, an important 'exchange' is held in the trading belt every autumn.

Representatives of the various tribes gather here to bring their produce and possessions, including young boys and girls.

These young men and women are regarded as treasures, representing the glory and heritage of the tribe. They will be traded and intermarried with people from other tribes.

This 'exchange', which takes place every year in the trading belt, is a great event for the whole tribe.

Young boys and girls dress up in gorgeous costumes and try to show their best to ensure that they can find the right partner.

During the transaction, the chiefs and elders of the various tribes also consult and negotiate to ensure that every marriage is equal and just.

For these people, intermarriage is not only a personal destiny, but also an opportunity for mutual understanding and cooperation between tribes.

This exchange meeting is about to start, and Rui wants Zhang Duo to participate in it as well.

Zhang Duo didn't refuse, mainly because he also wanted to see how the exchange would be held.

As for why Zhang Duo asked these questions, it was because Zhang Duo had to calculate how many houses to build based on the marriage situation of the clansmen.

According to his statistics, at least 100 bamboo huts will need to be built to cope with the onset of winter.

If you add in the number of people who are likely to flee in the winter, there is too much uncertainty.

The initial plan is to build 100 bamboo houses, and at the current pace, almost 3 can be built in a day.

If the clansmen become proficient, it will be almost four times a day.

It takes more than 20 days, and there are still more than 20 days when winter comes, so the time is about the same.

And the people who set out to collect firewood will need to be busy for almost a week before they can complete the task.

At that time, you can also let this part of the clan help build a bamboo house together, and it is absolutely too late in time.

Zhang Duo was preparing to assign tasks to his eighty people at the moment.

Since you have a rough estimate and enough time, you don't need to adjust your plan too much.

Forty people still set out to collect bamboo, and another forty people built wooden houses.

Yesterday it was the first team that boiled salt, so today the second team went to boil salt,

Pan asked his hunters to protect the people who gathered bamboo.

He stayed in the tribe, and he planned to contribute to the construction of his own bamboo house.

Seeing this, Zhang Duo did not refuse, his original subordinates were all old and young.

It is no exaggeration to say that it can definitely be used by one person as four people.

First, let the people under his hand dispose of the bamboo brought back by the collection team last night according to the length.

Looking at the energetic climbing, Zhang Duo was a little worried.

Sure enough, everyone else used a stone knife to cut slowly, while Pan put the stone knife on it, and the palm of Pu Fan's big hand slapped it at once.

Looking at the cracks that spread throughout the bamboo due to deformation, Pan also had a big head.

The corners of Zhang Duo's mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Will this still work? Bell? Pan asked with a weak heart, pointing to the bamboo under his hand.

Zhang Duo asked a little funny: "What do you think, Uncle Pan?" ”

Pan's head shook like a rattle.

Zhang Duo was a little helpless: "Uncle Pan, you better wait patiently, it will be fine soon." ”

He felt that Pan's skill points were all about strength, and his skills were not at all.

But Pan is not completely without merit, he listens to persuasion.

Although Pan still felt that he was just making a mistake, he still followed Zhang Duo's advice and did not continue to deal with the bamboo.

Soon the required bamboo posts and beams of the right length were ready.

Zhang Duo began to direct his people to place the bamboo pillars at the four corners of the house.

The size of the house Zhang Duo involved is about 20 square meters.

Already a spacious enough room.

You must know that in later generations, many rental houses generally have 12 square meters of second bedrooms.

In the past, four people fixed the bamboo pillar underneath, and two people smashed the bamboo pillar through stones on top to make it root underneath.

It's no longer right to climb here.

One person reached out to hold the bamboo pillar and fixed it, and the four people smashed it hard.

Pan seemed to have finally found an opportunity to prove himself, and let the clansmen above smash it hard, indicating that he could hold it.

Zhang Duo is also helpless, this Uncle Pan's hunting is really brave, but sometimes the painting style is a little naïve.

Fortunately, Youpan's help is indeed much more efficient.

After all, as usual, the people above did not dare to smash hard, for fear that the bottom would not be fixed.

If one is not well controlled, it will cause the bamboo pillar to not go straight down.

Then you need to build a new one.

After erecting the four corner bamboo pillars, the rest is simple.

It is good to fix the frame of the roof with hemp rope.

Fortunately, after the success of the previous fishing, the patriarch asked some of the clansmen to start focusing on the weaving of hemp rope.

Now there is no embarrassing problem of hemp rope shortage.

With the addition of bamboo one by one, the bamboo house of Pan was quickly completed.

Pan looked at the newly built bamboo house, although it was not as big as the bamboo house of Wu and the chieftain.

But it was also extremely beautiful, and his eyes sparkled with genuine joy.

He stroked the walls of the bamboo hut and felt the natural scent and warm touch brought by the bamboo.

He said, "Wonderful, this bamboo house is wonderful." ”

Zhang Duo has already begun to complain in his heart, and he also described it this way when Rui was built yesterday when the bamboo house was built, and you will only say that it is wonderful, right?

Zhang Duo said a little ridiculously: "Uncle Pan, do you want to say that this bamboo house looks simple and beautiful on the outside, and spacious and bright on the inside, making you feel warm and comfortable, and it is your ideal residence?" ”

Pan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" That's what I want to say! ”

Pan's appearance couldn't help but remind him of a general who was about the same size as Pan in the Three Kingdoms era in his previous life, and the general's famous words were: "I am the same!" ”

After the vignette, Zhang Duo led the clan into the production process of the next bamboo house.

The order in which the bamboo house was built was actually exquisite, and Zhang Duo had to do it so as not to make people feel uncomfortable.

The choice of the first three rooms is no problem, and if Zhang Duo chooses to build the fourth room, he will build it for himself.

Then the warehouse of the second team will inevitably feel that he is not taken seriously, and even if the warehouse does not have this kind of thought, it will inevitably be embarrassed by the discussion of other people in the tribe.

Zhang Duo would not make such a low-level mistake.

His choice for the fourth room was the bamboo house of the warehouse.
