How to make the human race survive, how to make the tribe fed, how to make the tribe survive, this is what a leader in the barbarian era has to think.

Even in the later era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the human emperor was more of a responsibility. Staying alive is the mainstream of this era. As for what is good and evil, good and bad, in this era when morality has not yet risen, it is all floating clouds.

It may be due to the abundant aura in the flood era, or it may be because after the creation of the human being, the essence and blood of Nuwa in the human body are still relatively strong, and the divinity in the body is still there. In this era, the lifespan of human beings is still very long. According to the old man of the tribe, Feng Ye calculated that if he lived to a good death, the life span of the human race was estimated to be about two hundred years old. But there are very few people who live to this age, but except for a few venerable elders, none of the other clans have such a long lifespan.

The root cause of this is suicide! In this era, the human race cannot even eat enough. For the survival of the race, the food is naturally biased towards those children and the prime-aged, and those old people who can't do things are naturally ranked to zuihou. In the face of those old people who are on hunger strike, it would be false to say that Feng Ye himself is not heartbroken. After all, the clansmen who have been together for decades have given up so easily, and at this time, Feng Ye clearly understood his responsibility as a leader.

Especially after the hunger strike of the leaders of the previous generation, Feng Ye was the most shocked. Yes, as the leader is the direction of a tribe, and being respected by the clansmen will naturally be lost.

Later generations have a saying: "The Son of Heaven guards the country." "This is not an empty word, and only then did Feng Ye know how heavy his responsibility was. With the hope of the entire tribe, could it be that because he was going to cultivate the Dao of Immortals, he asked about immortality, so he left all this behind? So Feng Ye put down his great cause of cultivation and vowed to let the clansmen have food and clothing.

That's right, it's just food and clothing, Feng Ye is still quite self-aware. It's really impossible to say that you don't have to worry about food and clothing, etc. Feng Ye himself knew how many times he was heavy. That is, the whole clan is well fed, and there will never be an old man committing suicide again, and Feng Ye will be thankful.

As for what he said about using the jishu of the later generations to change the way of food, it's not that Feng Ye doesn't want to, first, he doesn't dare, and second, he can't.

After all, if you make something ahead of the times, God knows what will happen? The chain reaction it will have is not something Feng Ye can bear.

And unlike later generations, there were two types of food sources in this era: gathering and hunting. Collecting zuihou will spawn agriculture, but now there is not even the original planting jishu, well, these Feng Ye can still figure it out by himself. The most fundamental question is where the seeds come from, where to find the grains, how to get the beneficial plants, and so on.

Shennong tasted a hundred herbs to know what to eat and what not to eat. How can Feng Ye identify it, can he learn from Shennong to taste the herbs? Well, it is true that Feng Ye did the same. Through some means of later generations, such as colors, smells, etc., to identify whether plants are toxic or not. And first tasted by the animals, and then pushed to the whole tribe. However, the Suiren tribe is surrounded by tall trees, which grow very slowly, and the kind of crops that have planting value and are ripe for a year have not been touched. In addition, this is a flood of wilderness, those plants will become fine after a long time, how can they be eaten by you, and it is also a question whether you eat it or it eats you when the time comes. So planting doesn't work at the moment.

Hunting to zuihou will give rise to domesticated prey, that is, domestic animals, but now they can't even eat enough, how can they have the spare time to domesticate prey? And domestication is not something that can be completed in a day, those fierce beasts are not wild and do not get rid of them, that is, they must be domesticated and specially guarded by people. But now that the tribe has surplus manpower, this road cannot be fundamentally solved. Then you can only improve efficiency.

Collection: Improve efficiency through a reasonable division of labor. Increasing the lethality of weapons to capture prey was the only way Feng Ye could think of it. And that's it, those jishu who are more out of the times don't dare to circulate, for fear of causing a butterfly effect.

As time passed, the environment of the Suiren tribe gradually improved. No one will starve to death.

Speaking of time, I have to mention it. In this era, there was no special method of calculating time, hours, hours, and monthly calendars, and at most a change of sun and moon was called a day, and then three hundred and sixty days were called a year. In the Suiren tribe, there are two old men who hold a tether to calculate the time, and they will tie a knot on the rope every day that passes, which is called knotted rope memorization, and it is also the method used by the ancients to keep time.

However, this method is extremely cumbersome. The craftsmanship of this era is naturally not as good as that of later generations, and the quality of the hemp rope made is naturally not much better, and it is used to knot the rope with dozens of knots at most. Although there is also a so-called annual rope, it is said that it can tie 360 knots in one go. But it's hard to carry. In addition, in this era, hemp rope made of bark was used, which was afraid of fire, insects, and rot, and was extremely difficult to preserve.

So Feng Ye came up with an alternative method, that is, symbols! It is more convenient to use symbols to represent the time of events engraved on stone than to use ropes. And if you want to remember, you can also draw the event as a mural, which is naturally much better than using a rope.

In later generations, symbols were hailed as the germ of human writing, and Feng Ye's improved method of knotting rope records made human civilization a step forward, which naturally has great merit. Seeing this, Feng Ye was excited to directly create a text belonging to the human race, but he didn't dare to write after a few days of struggle.

On the one hand, he is afraid of the legendary heavenly punishment, and it is rumored that when Shi Huang Cangjie made words, the ghost cried and howled the earth. Feng Ye is not Cangjie, nor is he a person of this era. God knows if he would be able to make words. On the other hand, it is not necessary to use it! The birth of writing is not so much that Cangjie created it out of thin air. Rather, it is to summarize the symbols recorded by the predecessors and form a set of specific standard text prototypes.

And population is also a big factor. Think about it, if it's just two people, you just need to talk. But as more and more people think of recording thoughts, events, knowledge, and so on. And the Suiren tribe is only about a thousand people, to put it bluntly. There is nothing that needs to be recorded in words, just oral tradition.

To put it bluntly, writing is born only when the sparks of civilization collide to a certain extent. That is, civilization has developed to a certain extent. Now, even if it is created, it may not have much merit. Because you don't need to!

Now that the human race is struggling for hunger and contention, and even material civilization cannot be guaranteed, how can we talk about spiritual civilization?

Feng Ye has been the leader for sixty years, although he has not done anything to act in gossip and determine those famous exploits. But the whole tribe did not decay under his leadership. Although the food distributed to the elderly was still very small, it was not enough to commit suicide. Seeing that the tribe was prospering day by day under his leadership, and finally stopped worrying about eating and drinking, Feng Ye's vow was initially completed.

So Feng Ye began to think about cultivating and becoming an immortal again. After cultivating an heir to pass on the position of leader, Feng Ye cultivated in a cave not far from the Suiren tribe, with peace of mind. But in the end, it was the new leader, and many old people didn't obey much, so they had the first one.
