When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 11
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Xin Qu planned to go find Wu Xiaoye.

Tell her about your desire to divide the slave so that she can help.

But before he could go far, he was stopped by the axe: "Qu, Ribing's family wants to exchange land with us. I went to check it out and found that their land is on a slope, which is exactly the same as ours. However, What I pumped was the irrigated land along the river..."

Ax handed the sign to Xin Qu.

Xinqu took one look and then looked at the mountain and said, "You decide. The land on the slopes may be good or bad, but no matter what, I will build the canals in the future. After letting people measure the output, I specially moved the land A three-meter-wide gap was left between it and the ground, which was intended to be used as a ditch.

If ditching is needed, it may take one or two years. "

"Then I'll give them three acres in exchange, leaving two acres for planting..."

Ax thought for a moment and said.

Xinqu pouted: "Then you might as well irrigate the land and exchange it for a premium. The irrigated land is a place with a lot of output. Two acres of sloping land can be exchanged for one irrigated land. You are equivalent to having fifteen acres of land, it will save time to open up wasteland later, isn’t it good?”

"That's right!" Ax's eyes lit up. One person can only share twenty acres. Xinqu and Ax have one account. Because Ax is only twelve this year, he can only share ten acres, and Xinqu only has ten acres. Six, two people plus one land can equal thirty acres of land.

Even if Xin Qu gets married, there will probably only be two children in the family, after all, Ax is still underage.

The two are not separated from each other.

Therefore, if you directly take the ten acres of quota land, the production area will be larger. Even if you harvest a lot of crops and plant less, your comprehensive income will be higher than just irrigating the land.

What's more important is that Xinqu is the leader of the clan. He said that ditches will be built, and the slope land will have great potential in the future.

Anyway, I am not at a loss.

Ax said goodbye to Xin Qu excitedly and went to discuss with Ri Bing.

Although the other party is in a difficult position, the yield per acre of irrigated land can indeed be equal to that of two acres of sloping land. If the land is cultivated more intensively, the yield will be even greater.

In the undetermined gap in the wasteland area, if there is an extra irrigated land, the output will be more in the future, and there is no need to worry about drought.

Ri Bing finally agreed and took five acres in exchange for two and a half acres. The other two and a half acres were also contracted by the family next door who came to inquire.

After moving to the ground, Ax walked excitedly to the head of the field, looking left and right. Next year, this side will belong to his family.

Xinqu ignored the boy's excitement and asked the elder of the Wu family, Wu Yi, the 26-year-old grandson of Wu.

When Wu Yi saw Xin Qu looking for Wu Xiaoye, he pointed to the tribal station and said, "She went back to pray for blessings."

"Row."

Xinqu ran back to the tribe.

When I arrived at the witch's residence, I saw the girl who was carving words on the bamboo slips: "It's really easy for me to find."

Wu Xiaoye raised his head and looked at Xin Qu strangely: "Is something wrong?"

Xin Qu walked up and lowered his head to see the bamboo slips Wu Xiaoye was burning. It said: "On July [-]th of the first year of Qu, Qu divided the land into acres, and everyone was lucky."

"Are you writing history?"

"Yes." Wu Xiaoye saw Xin Qu sitting next to him without saying anything, and continued to write text, "Do you recognize it?"

"The old witch has taught me." Xin Qu looked away. The hieroglyphs were similar. As long as you lived in this era, you could see many clues.

"Then what do you want from me?" Wu Xiaoye asked.

Xinqu pondered for a moment and expressed his thoughts about dividing the slaves.

The little hand that was recording froze. After a moment, Wu Xiaoye said, "Do you know what you are thinking? Betrayer of faith, do you dare to use it?"

Xinqu smiled: "Why don't you dare to use it if you betray your faith?"

Wu Xiaoye frowned: "What do you think of gods?"

"I only believe in my ancestors."

"But by doing this, you are also betraying your ancestors!" Wu Xiaoye frowned. "Really? But in my opinion, those slaves look very different from us. Maybe we are related by blood. Later, because of our so-called beliefs, we separated and fell into a civil war."

Wu Xiaoye opened his mouth, his eyes widened, and his mind wandered. He never expected that Xin Qu would actually say these words: "Don't say those words of yours... in the future."

"If you don't deny it, it's acquiescence." Xin Qu refused, "Do you remember the tribal alliance?"

"But everyone's beliefs are not... not mutually exclusive. What you are doing is very wrong. The tribe will not agree to it." Wu Xiaoye's voice was a little lower. "You have to understand what it means to be a tribe member!"

Of course Xinqu knew what clan kinship meant.

In the tribal era, products were scarce, food was not plentiful, and even your own people didn’t have enough to eat. Why do you still want to let outsiders eat?

Therefore, the best way to accept an outsider into the tribe is to leave food next to the outsider at night, which means that the tribe is willing to accept them.

As long as an outsider eats it, it means that he is also willing to accept becoming a tribesman.

The next morning, outsiders will go hunting and working with you. Then that night, if it is a group marriage or blood marriage tribe, outsiders can find female tribesmen to make peace. Only in this way can they become clan relatives.

Generally speaking, in addition to absorbing the population, this can also reduce the probability of births of children with deformities in the marriage system within the clan.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, this method of recruiting outsiders is only for men.

After all, women don’t have to worry about this, they can just take it away and be fertile.

But Xinqu sighed and said, "But we are married to each other!"

"..."

Wu Xiaoye remained silent. In fact, the foundation of group marriage with the Xin family had disappeared, and now the dual marriage system has emerged.

This shows that the Xin family was a glorious country in the past, and its productivity must have reached a certain level, otherwise there would be no possibility of pair marriage.

At its peak, the Youxin clan was actually in the form of an early state, and was forced back to the tribal system by merchants.

"Now, we have insufficient population, insufficient food, and insufficient everything. If we want to quickly restore our former glory, slaves must divide their governance so that fewer people can control more slaves."

Xinqu explained: "Look, there are more than 500 slaves in the clan. It takes more than 20 of us to take care of them, which is equivalent to one person taking care of more than 20 slaves.

But if fifty of these five hundred slaves are naturalized, then we can let them control not just five hundred, but a thousand slaves.

We only need to arrange three or five men to manage these fifty naturalized people, which can save a lot of manpower. "

"But, are they... trustworthy?" Wu Xiaoye still frowned.

"Hey, give them a hope, a supervision, a deterrent, and they will stand firmly on our side." The corners of Xin Qu's lips raised slightly, revealing a face that should be hanging on the street, and he muttered in Wu Xiaoye's ear.

Warmth rushed over her, and it was the first time that a man of the same age came so close to Wu Xiaoye. However, her shyness only lasted for a moment, and she was soon shocked by Xin Qu's plan.

If you think about it carefully, there is a lot to be done!
"But...don't you not believe in the emperor?"

"Wouldn't it be better to change the emperor's name to Emperor of Heaven? I believe in Heaven." Xinqu said with a smile, "Belief is not a problem, it's just a title.

But as long as they are under the same blue sky, naturalized people will receive higher treatment than slaves and lower treatment than tribesmen, but they will have relative freedom, and through conquest and expansion on behalf of the Youxin clan, they will have the opportunity to be accepted by the tribe. Faced with the miserable life of future slaves who are at high risk and can be abandoned at any time.

I don't think anyone would choose to be a slave.

They would rather accept naturalization. "

"Then do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"

"In order to have the Xin family," Xin Qu said calmly, "and also in order not to be casually used as a sacrifice by Dayi merchants!"

"I will help you, you...write down your speech."

"This is simple." Xinqu handed a piece of linen cloth to the girl, "Hey, it's ready."

　Please, please, please give me some food!
