Ogawa Gang stood by the lake and meditated, her long hair fluttering in the slightly damp wind, and her eyes fell on the villagers who were fishing.
Winter is coming, and the villagers are also preparing food, and their main method is to fish, get on a canoe, and then fish in the lake. If you are a casual fisherman, this kind of fishing is quite leisurely, but it is obviously in
Preparing important food for the winter is a critical moment, but these villagers chose the least efficient fishing method, which is really a desperate situation for modern people.
There is a reason why this tribe has such a small population, and according to what they said, there are no other tribes around. In other words, before the people who can remove petrification appeared, there was only this group of people in this land who were not very bright-minded.
Why is this so?
Ogawa Gang is thinking that if he doesn't think clearly, Ishigami Senku's efforts will be in vain in the end, and in the end their descendants will fall behind like the tribe.
First of all, we must consider the tribe's electoral system, which is a competition to select the strongest warrior as the chief. But the chief is not all, there is also a witch who has mastered the "Hundred Monogatari".
Now that the chief and the witch are a family, they have complete control over their own family. Unfortunately, the witch is not in good health. She was originally planning to let her younger sister take over her elder sister's job, but her younger sister cares about family ties and refuses to accept the task and chooses to escape.
Therefore, such rights had to be handed over through competition and election, not only the power of the chief, but also the witch. Of course, if the witch could give birth to a daughter with the new chief, then the daughter might also become a new witch.
But that's all. This is a very unstable transfer of power.
The development of any civilization should not be like this. Ogawa Gang suspected that the problem was with Hyakumonogatari. It is said that this is a survival guide composed of a hundred stories, and only witches know the whole story.
Perhaps it is because of these stories that it is so difficult for this village to develop.
According to the laws of civilization development, generally speaking, there will be some families who have mastered the power of sacrifice and military affairs from the matrilineal society. These people will later become kings and are the earliest and purest royal families in civilization. For example, the Zhou royal family during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period,
No one can match their bloodline, and it belongs to the bloodline heritage that existed in the earliest days of civilization.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various countries intermarryed and formed a group of primitive royal families.
Then the Chu State was almost in trouble and was regarded as a barbarian because their bloodline was developed later and was not as pure as the bloodline of the Central Plains.
Of course, no matter how noble their bloodline was, they were all shattered in the face of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's question, "Do princes, generals, and prime ministers have the right kind?"
But there is no Chen Sheng and Wu Guang yet. The primitive tribe should still be maintained by blood. Everyone in the tribe should be related to each other, and the changes in power can barely be regarded as the inheritance of one bloodline.
"Bloodline is really the cheapest way to maintain relationships." Ogawa Gang said: "But after the appearance of Stone God Senku, we can no longer rely on bloodline relationships. We must provide a more cost-effective way of ruling, and we must provide a written system and code of conduct.
"And there is a cost to promoting these.
It doesn't matter when there are few people, but when there are many people, the new system must be promoted as soon as possible.
This is an essential process in the development of civilization. Ogawa Gang believes that if there were no special accidents, this tribe should have developed to this point.
But no matter what, the Stone God Senku is coming, the population will definitely explode in the next hundred years or so, and then it will be necessary to promote the writing system and behavioral standards, which will inevitably lead to bloodshed.
Every step of civilization is heavy and bloody. Ogawa Gang was educated by Duran, so he knew from the analysis of various civilizations around the world that everything would develop like this. Neither religion nor modern civilization can escape the process of promotion.
.
In fact, it is the process of ‘education’.
Education seems to be a beautiful thing, but it is actually a high-cost task. It is necessary to promote the principles of the top to the bottom through various forms, and make the bottom believe and implement them. Many educations cannot do this.
For example, among the ancient Confucian scholars in the Central Plains, it was difficult for their education to spread to villages and towns, so various strange clans were formed in the countryside. These clans were superficially derived from Confucianism, but in fact they were all very cruel.
In the West, education is mainly left to religion, whose teachings govern how believers should behave. However, in an era of underdeveloped science and technology, it is difficult for every household to master religious teachings, which is why pagans exist.
Of course, the Qin State in the Central Plains also tried to govern the country according to law. What they relied on was not Confucian scholars or scholars, but officials who were familiar with the law. Let the officials go down to the grassroots and regulate the people's every move. Han Feizi of Legalism also said, "Sages"
"Governing the officials but not the people" means that if the officials are outstanding, then just let them regulate the people.
In fact, whether it is religion, Confucianism or Legalism, the goal is the same, which is to form a set of management mechanisms that can connect society. Unfortunately, there is a problem with Qin's rule of law, that is, it only has criminal law and lacks it.
A little bit of humanistic care. And because of the fall of the Qin State, the road to the rule of law was also interrupted. Ogawa Bar believed that the fall of the Qin Dynasty was not because of the harshness of the Qin Law, but because of the fall of the Qin Dynasty, so the Qin Law had to bear all the consequences.
Taking the blame. In fact, Qin's law can only be regarded as lacking in humanistic care, but it is not actually harsh.
For example, in the religions of the same era, regarding teaching children, parents could not teach their children well, so they went to the elders, but the elders could not teach them well, so they gathered the believers around them and threw stones at the disobedient children, directly honoring them.
Kill, then the 'evil' will be eliminated, and the world will become beautiful.
The law of the Qin Dynasty at the same time said that if a child is disobedient and cannot be taught by his parents, he should ask a teacher to teach him. If he still fails, he will be sent to an official to be taught by officials and put in a labor camp until he repented.
In the same way, when educating children, religion is called harsh, but even in the 21st century, it is still regarded as a guideline. However, Qin Fa has been scolded for two thousand years.
The Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty absorbed the advantages of Legalism and used the Confucian view of human ethics to fill in the legal loopholes of criminal law. In addition, Confucian internal law was extended to the entire Han Dynasty, but the cost of doing all this was huge.
Since there is a cost, after the promotion is completed, fees will be charged to recoup the cost, so interest groups are formed, and even different Confucian schools are fighting to the death.
Ogawa Gang wants to use the opportunity of this election to help the new chief prepare for all this. If you want to promote new education, you must have the assistance of a set of educational concepts, and new interest groups will be formed, and they will work with the 'Hundreds of People'.
Monogatari's interest groups clash.
The tribe is very xenophobic, especially the combatants inside who are hostile to the Stone God Senku.
Fortunately, Senku Ishigami can provide more resources and technology for the time being, making the cake bigger and reducing sharp conflicts. Bare Ogawa believes that the final winner of the election will be the people from Senku Ishigami, but the next thing is
Need to pay attention to.
After occupying the tribe, Stone God Qianku will definitely fight against the Si Empire and take back the resurrection fluid. Then, whether the tribe gives birth to children or removes petrification, the population will inevitably increase dramatically, and a new investment in education costs that can be implemented will inevitably be needed.
Among them, there were conflicts with the old religious groups.
