The news of Mother Ba's death was brought back to Gonghuo Basin by the little witch as early as a month ago. The four families of the Ba people who migrated to the royal city, men, women and children, also knew about it. Now that a month has passed, this sadness has basically disappeared.
, only when it is mentioned occasionally, women feel a little sad.
Because of the joining of a group of Tage women, the four courtyards of the Ba settlement were overcrowded. Although dozens of Tage men who participated in the labor reform followed the Tage shaman after the Mother's Day in the beginning of spring, but on the Mother's Day,
The Tage women participated in the marriage exchange and once again introduced nearly 30 young adults from various tribes to the Ba tribe.
As a result of this ebb and flow, the population of the Ba tribe in the settlement in the royal city has exceeded a hundred people, and more than 80% of them are the youngest and strongest men and women.
According to the current situation, the Ba people need to build a few more houses, because in the next two or three years, the Wangcheng settlement will once again usher in a large-scale baby boom. The four houses originally planned two years ago were relatively spacious.
The small courtyard is obviously no longer enough to live in.
This is probably the case with other tribes as well.
Conquering the Tage and Moteng tribes was actually not within the scope of Xu Chen's plan.
These two ethnic groups alone brought more than 600 prisoners to the three core ethnic groups of Ba Meng, Gonghuo Meng and Yu Gong Meng, most of whom were women. The Five Ghost Tribe also expanded its population dramatically.
, there are now close to 200 men, women, old and children, and they have also actively responded to Xu Chen’s call and divided them into three groups, large and small.
The current royal city is actually like a water pump, frantically extracting the population from surrounding tribes.
In two years, the immigrant population near the royal city has doubled from about a thousand to nearly two thousand.
As the population grows and the labor force increases, the number of infants and young children has also increased rapidly in the past two years. The batch of houses that each tribe initially rushed to build are now obviously not enough.
In the next two or three years, it is estimated that various tribes near the royal city will once again experience large-scale real estate construction.
As for the new housing plan for the Ba settlement, Xu Chen also had some ideas. He planned to imitate the construction model of the Ba valley and use rammed earth to build an open layout like a rural commune, integrating living, storage, drying ground, and mill.
, animal husbandry, breeding, etc. are constructed separately and then managed in a unified manner.
In the current situation, it is not appropriate to completely implement private ownership, because the material world is not developed enough to achieve complete privatization.
However, complete public ownership will greatly hinder the further development of society. It needs to be slowly eliminated, some private items and property should be introduced, and the most important thing is to have a more private place to live, and the chaotic situation of group living and group marriage should be slowly eliminated.
Xu Chen moved to the palace after it was built and rarely returned to the Ba settlements.
First, there are more and more people, and the housing is tight, and privacy is almost zero.
Secondly, he was still very uncomfortable with the tradition of men and women living together and sleeping with each other.
This kind of thing is out of sight.
But the palace is different. It is large and spacious. The three-story dormitory is quiet and cool. Currently, there are only seven or eight people living there.
Xu Chen, Ye and his daughter Xueer's family of three live on the second floor. Pu and Jia, two young personal assistants, live on the first floor. There are also two women who were specially arranged by their mother from the Ba tribe headquarters.
Aunt Jiu and a young girl help Gan Gan cook and take care of the children.
Twenty meters next door is the little witch's dormitory. The layout is exactly the same, and the interior decoration is exactly the same. However, not only the little witch lives there, but also Pi Wu and Zilong, as well as the Gonghuo tribe and the Five Ghost tribe.
The two little witches each have their own room.
The three-story building with an area of nearly 100 square meters naturally has a lot of rooms, more than ten large and small. If all of them are occupied, even if each person has one room, more than ten can be accommodated.
Witches are a special group. They are not sexually attracted to men and cannot have men. Therefore, their living life is very simple. Apart from simple food, clothing, housing and transportation, they have very low requirements for other things. They only need a power cord that is always in their hands.
Apart from the staff, there are almost no personal belongings.
Xu Chen thought that it would be too deserted for the little witch to live alone, so he not only arranged for a few familiar people from the Ba tribe,
There are women who take personal care of the place, and they also arrange for several witches, big and small, who often stay in the royal city to live there, so it will indeed be much more lively.
Every day when Xu Chen lived in his dormitory, he could hear or see the voices and figures of a group of witches opposite, joking and even fighting.
If the morning and evening are cool, you can still see them playing together with Zilong in the garden. Ye will often take his daughter to play with him.
So the huge palace garden became a paradise for this small group of women and two children.
"This is the benefit of power!"
In the attic on the third floor of the dormitory, Xu Chen was lying on a large rattan lounge chair, looking at the scenery outside through the spacious window.
Below the dormitory building is the palace garden covering an area of more than ten acres, with running water flowing in the ponds and ditches. The flowers, trees and wild grasses are now lush and green. Although they cannot be said to be lush, in this midsummer season
It also has a bit of a landscape and garden atmosphere.
Adjacent to the northeast is the witch's dormitory.
Outside the garden to the northwest is the Royal City Warehouse and a large area of farmland. Because there are no tall buildings blocking it, and the dormitory is more than ten meters tall and stands out like a flock of chickens. Even if you are lying down, you can see the two sides of the Jicang River for ten meters.
The scenery within Yuli is unobstructed.
If you change the orientation of the attic window, you can see the military camp in the northeast, and even the training conditions inside can be seen clearly.
Since moving to the dormitory, Xu Chen's life has become much more relaxed and leisurely.
As long as I don't go out every day, I spend most of my time in the study or attic on the second and third floors, writing and drawing, making some plans for Pakistan or doing some handicrafts, such as gold, gems, copper, tin, bone, teeth, horns, claws, gourds, and wood root carvings.
It's something he uses to pass the time.
This time I returned to the Ba tribe for more than a month, and I actually didn’t get a good rest. The death of my mother Ba had a great impact on the Ba tribe, and he didn’t feel good about it. In addition, the industrial upgrading of the Ba tribe looked easy, but in fact it was a mess and a lot of things to show off.
To solve it, it still takes a lot of energy to really arrange everything. Just the glazing process of painted pottery kept him busy for more than half a month.
In addition, there are too many children of the Ba ethnic group. Apart from the excitement, there is basically not much quiet and free time all day long.
Although he also likes to stay with children and lead them to learn and play like a child king, after all, he has now passed the age where he has no desires and only wants to have fun.
There are too many things going on in the Ba country, and now he can no longer just consider the development of the Ba people, but the overall development of all ethnic groups and tribes.
I stayed in Bazu for a whole month this time, and there will be less and less opportunities like this in the future.
Once you get used to life in the royal city, coupled with the pressure brought by power and status, it becomes increasingly impossible to return to the previous state.
The developments he saw on the way back this time and the things discussed at the meeting in the palace hall were still lingering in Xu Chen's mind.
No matter how big or small these things are, he needs to arrange people to solve them one by one. He can't be lazy even if he wants to, because these are all troubles he asked for himself.
But if you have trouble, you will gain, and if you have rights, you will enjoy it.
Just like now, he can lie in this spacious room with a height of three floors, enjoying the cool river breeze in the hot summer, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, quiet and leisurely.
It was around eleven o'clock in the morning, the strong sun was hanging in the sky, and the whole world was as clear and bright as crystal.
In the garden, several dogs barked, mixed with the whirring of ocarinas, children's laughter and adults' calls.
A smile appeared on Xu Chen's face, and he looked towards the direction of the Great Witch's dormitory. Sure enough, he saw Zilong wearing a bellyband and holding an ocarina in his hand, walking along the clay path in the garden.
While blowing and running, three and a half large dogs followed each other, with Pi Wu and two Pi women following behind, chasing and scolding them all the way.
Seeing the skin witch dressed in a white dress with a cloak covering his head and walking quickly with a scepter, Xu Chen's heart suddenly became hot.
Come to think of it, I haven't been intimate with Pi Wu for almost half a year, and I really miss my son's pair of big milk bottles.
by
I used to think that these women were wild and vulgar, different from my own species, but after trying them, I found that they were no different. They were also very comfortable, and more wild and exciting.
Therefore, everything is constantly changing. Once you get used to it, you will find that the most poisonous vows are vulnerable to reality, just like a monk who eats meat and drinks alcohol. Once he breaks the precept, he cannot stop enjoying it.
During this month when the Huiba tribe settled down, Xu Chen did not have any intimacy with Ye.
Mother Ba had just passed away, and the whole tribe was in a low mood. Besides, there were too many people and it was inconvenient.
Now that I have returned to the royal city and live in the royal palace, it is so quiet and cool, with no one to disturb me, and some warm and full emotions emerge unknowingly.
Xu Chen then stood up and lay down by the attic window, shouting and waving to Zilong below.
Zilong raised his head and glanced at his father, showing no interest, and ran toward the pool while playing his little ocarina.
Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The little guy must want to go swimming, because Xu Chen heard it just after he came back yesterday. The little guy likes bathing the most and never tires of it. There are ponds and ditches in the palace, so you have to be careful at all times.
In addition, Zilong spends most of his time away from Xu Chen, and is not very affectionate towards his cheap dad.
The most important thing is that the current characteristic of matrilineal clans is that it is women who have children, and men are only responsible for driving piles and maintaining the safety of the tribe. When the children grow up, they are taught survival skills such as gathering, hunting, fishing, and making tools.
Therefore, in the eyes of all women and even Pi Wu himself, raising children is not a man's business, let alone the supreme Witch King's business. Therefore, they rarely trouble Xu Chen about their children. It is often Xu Chen who misses his son.
, he would take the initiative to call Zilong for a hug and some intimacy. Most of the time, he couldn't see Zilong.
