Three settlement sites are planned along the road in the middle of the valley and towards the mouth of the valley.
Since the valley was already very safe, Xu Chen initially wanted to build a single-family rural family house and live in groups.
But after discussion at the family meeting, everyone expressed that they still wanted to build this closed compound model and live together according to ethnic groups.
This was mainly a matter of traditional customs, so Xu Chenhe did not object. Therefore, the plans of these three settlements were trimmed into three housing patterns that were similar in size to the first phase of the compound.
When the compound was first built, there were only about fifty people from the Ba ethnic group, and they were short of manpower and food. In the end, they relied on inventing fishing nets to catch fish, dig yams, and use pottery to recruit foreign workers.
Nowadays, there are more than 150 adults of the entire Ba ethnic group. Adding in the large number of infants and children born in recent years, the total population is now close to 200. It is necessary to live dispersedly to truly improve the living and living environment.
This time the clan division was also based on the traditional Ba clan and the captive Gonghuo clan, Yu Gong clan, Pi clan and other different groups of women, dividing the two families in the overcrowded compound into four.
Most of the core Ba people still live in the compound.
Women from the Gonghuo and Qia tribes, whose Amu is the leader, are the second family.
Women from the Yugong and Maoton tribes formed the third family.
In addition, some Ba people were separated and paired with ten women from the Pi Dai tribe to form the fourth family.
After this distribution, the core family of the compound is still headed, with Mu Ba serving as the clan leader.
The fourth family currently has the smallest number of people, but on this Mother's Day, all ten young women from the fourth family will participate in the Mother's Day, and they should be able to recruit the same number of young men from foreign races.
The Ba tribe is now a tribe that all men in the tribe are vying to join. Marriage activities are the best time. In recent years, the Ba tribe has also taken advantage of its strong advantages and continued to absorb strong and young fresh blood from various tribes to develop and grow.
Very quickly.
In addition, Gu Jiu, who is the same age as Xu Chen, will also participate in a marriage conference this year. Her mother wanted to keep the money from outsiders and let them choose among the remaining three families. They both had the same idea.
In fact, the two of them often go out with Xu Chen, and they are no longer young chickens, but have become veteran drivers. Because they have not officially participated in the Mother's Day marriage, they are relatively restrained in the tribe on weekdays, but as soon as they go out, they immediately become
Two lustful piledrivers.
I went on a patrol to survey and build roads, and I slept with many young women from other tribes along the way, and I guess I left a lot behind.
Although the current reproduction model of each tribe is maintained by matrilineal blood, this chaotic group living and tribal relationships with semi-walking marriage patterns naturally make it difficult to tell who the father is. In the future, when tribes marry, they will actually have the same father.
The possibility of mother-brother-sister relationships is still very high, and tribes with more frequent interactions are more likely to have this risk.
However, no one can handle this complex ethical relationship and can only let it go.
Although Xu Chen has reached the age of marriage, no one actually took the initiative to remind him of this matter.
His identity is so special that the Ba tribe didn't even want to marry him out. Other tribes also had this idea at first, but as his fame and appeal became stronger and stronger, he has now become a member of all the tribes.
After becoming the recognized supreme leader of the tribe and His Majesty the Witch King, this idea slowly disappeared. Without the tribe to have such an impossible dream, there would be less arrangements for all kinds of stocky girls to seduce him, but every time he met
, will arrange several young women to sleep with them, hoping that His Majesty the Witch King can leave a few species for the tribe, so as to increase the gods' favor and protection for the tribe.
Even if others don't mention it, Xu Chen is happy to be single.
At present, he is very satisfied with his little female savage cousin who helps him put out the fire from time to time. Besides, except for the twin sisters Ye and the little witch, he actually has no interest in other women. Of course, there is also a skin tribe member recently.
Although the young witch was just a misunderstanding, it still made him miss her a little bit, and she seemed to think it was good.
However, distant water cannot quench the near thirst, and Wu's special status means that he cannot do anything excessive, otherwise the character he has finally built may collapse in an instant.
Xu Chen had already convened a meeting of the whole family to discuss the planning plans of the four families. Everyone agreed, and his mother and mother fully agreed.
After all, the spreading of branches and leaves is a major event of reproduction and a symbol of the prosperity of the tribe and the prosperity of the family.
The Ba tribe has grown from a small tribe of only fifty people four years ago to a medium-sized tribe of nearly two hundred people and four families in the blink of an eye. It is developing rapidly almost every year.
Although this change is the result of Xu Chen's rapid expansion through opportunistic capture of women from other tribes, everyone believes that this is the result of development guided by the gods. This development has been doomed since the little witch defected from the Ba tribe.
And family separation has always been a tradition for tribal survival.
After the division, each family is still unified and develops together under the leadership of the clan leader, but each family can obtain and distribute part of its private wealth through its own efforts. Whichever family develops well can become the chief family of the tribe, and birth
A new clan leader is born.
This is actually using family competition to ensure the vitality of the entire tribe.
In the final analysis, natural selection and survival of the fittest are the eternal laws of the continuous development of human civilization. Otherwise, mankind will gradually move towards extinction.
The entire tribe gathers together to share and coexist all living resources. This is just an internal means under this law to resist hunger and cold and reproduce.
Even under conditions of extreme hunger, the tribe will adopt some extreme voting methods, and the leader will decide to kill some of the old, weak, sick and disabled as food to survive.
Once humans begin to get rid of hunger and cold, and slowly accumulate wealth, private ownership will inevitably emerge, otherwise it will hinder the development of productivity.
With the development of the Ba people, the food and living conditions that are sufficient for food and clothing have reached a bottleneck stage. If this continues for a long time, the development atmosphere of the tribe will gradually become lazy. After all, grouping and contracting is not true private ownership, nor is it complete competition.
In this way, Xu Chen needs to start to implement more and more extensive private ownership within the Ba people through this division of the family.
In the future, the four major families will determine half of the grain distribution rights through their own farming labor, while the other half will be purchased by the compound in the form of copper coins as a public granary reserve, and each family can use the copper coins obtained in the compound.
Purchase pottery, copperware, salt, wine and other production and living supplies.
As the Ba people develop faster and faster, and various conditions become more and more mature, Xu Chen's plans for the future become more and more detailed and complete.
Once this model is formed among the Ba people, we can use it as a template to promote this model to all tribes in the future.
In Xu Chen's plan, there are two directions for future development.
First, continue to dismantle large and medium-sized tribes to form more family gathering places in the form of villages. This can expand the control territory of each tribe in disguise, and also reduce the overcrowded environment within large tribes due to housing, water sources, farmland, hunting, etc.
The resulting contradictions are that each village is not far from each other, with the tribe as the core, forming a scattered territory and survival pattern.
The second is to build the royal city and administrative center. We will temporarily focus on the Gonghuo tribe and several large tribes, and build small towns nearby. We will use the population and trade scale to open various workshops and fixed trading markets to establish a relatively
Complete political system and industrial and commercial structure.
These two steps start at the same time. Once completed, the transformation of the primitive tribes will be basically completed, and then a brand-new royal politics will be formed. The relationship between ethnic groups and tribes will be completely different from what it is now.
Same.
In order to complete the exemplary transformation of the Ba people as soon as possible, Xu Chen was very focused on the construction of three new family settlements.
This matter was originally planned to start in the autumn and winter of last year, but it was temporarily postponed because of the construction of Bau Avenue.
But he plans to complete it all in the fall and winter of this year, and start formally implementing this new semi-public and semi-private institutional model in the form of a village next year.
…
Time is negligent, half of February has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Xu Chen came back from inspecting the construction of three settlements on horseback. When he walked near the compound, he saw Ye and the little witch walking quickly towards the side of the compound muttering, not knowing what they were doing.
Xu Chen tied the horse in the pavilion. He was worried that the two would be bitten by a snake if they went too far, so he followed them with a wooden stick.
"Ouch..."
Two wolf cubs came out of nowhere, howling and screaming, and followed them.
Xu Chen walked to the side of the compound. There was a road between here and the kiln. There were many thorn melons and some wild melons and vegetables that were often eaten on the roadside. It was considered a vegetable garden opened by the tribe. There were many melons built with wooden sticks.
shelf.
Now in February, the weather is warm and humid, the melon vines have covered the melon stands, the melon vines have begun to bloom, bees and butterflies are busy collecting nectar for pollination, and it looks like a lively scene in the sunshine.
When the thorn melon is young, it can be eaten raw and has a slightly sweet taste. However, when it gets old, a semi-woody layer will form on the surface that is harder than the pumpkin skin, making it difficult to bite. However, after removing this layer of hard skin, the inside will remain.
The flesh is cooked but sweet and soft.
In the past, the Ba people were accustomed to eating wild fruits raw when they were young and less when they were ripe. Occasionally when food was scarce, they picked them and roasted them in the fire pond before peeling them and eating them like sweet potatoes. However, after Xu Chen invented pottery, thorns
Melon has become a very important vegetable. Basically, it is picked in autumn when it is ripe. After peeling, it is very delicious when cooked in porridge and stew.
