When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 23: Breaking through the upper and lower levels of the tribe

Xinqu sat beside the bonfire at night in his small enclosed courtyard.

A lazy man passing by saw him, spat on the ground, and walked away groaning.

Ax, who came out to fetch water for cooking, saw this scene and frowned: "Aren't you worried about them making trouble?"

"Noisy? The Xin clan has laws, and the clan leader has the right to make decisions. As long as more than [-]% of the clan agrees to the bill, they cannot oppose it. If they violate the order, the clan leader can expel them or execute them."

Xinqu looked at the bamboo slips in his hand by the fire and replied, "Besides, food rationing is normal. In previous years, rationing didn't always start in winter. I just moved it to July."

Seeing that Xin Qu didn't care at all, Ax went to fetch water, then picked it up and said, "When my father was still alive, he always said that when there is enough food, eat more so that you will not starve to death in winter. You are going against this." This way, if they don’t get angry, then there will be ghosts.”

"It doesn't take much to maintain the basic food requirements for a person's survival." Xinqu said calmly, "We only need to ensure that the strongest group of people are well fed and let these people become the swords of the clan, so that we can obtain food for the tribe in the shortest time. More resources.

This is the tribe's way of survival.

The tribe still implements the distribution system of having a bunch of slaves as the bottom to work for the country during the state. It is a ghost if nothing happens.

Look at the faces and figures of those guys today. In this era when a lot of people need to work and run, each of them is like a ball. Do you think it is reasonable? "

Ax didn't know what to say. He paused for a while holding the water jar and complained: "Also, why did you ask me to make so much food today? Who are you going to entertain?"

"The supervisors, Xin Aqi, Chu Dagu, Wuyi, Shi Wu, Bing Jia, Chu Gu Bing, Gulu Xiaogui, Cu Qin Jia, Tao Tu Ren... don't need to cook too much. Boil the millet until it is thicker, and then put it in Just order the salted meat sauce.”

Ax heard this strangely: "How can that be enough?"

"That's enough. They will also bring food. I asked them to bring it."

Xin Qu read the bamboo slips and slowly closed them. A frightened voice happened to come from outside: "Chief, did you call me to wait?"

Xinqu raised his head and saw Che Baihu and the others: "You're here just in time, come in."

"Hey!" Che Baihu and other supervisors filed in, and suddenly the place was full of people. "Sit down, I'll get you some water."

"I'll come, I'll come!" Che Baihu hurriedly came up to help.

Xinqu did not refuse and asked him to help hold the water jar prepared in advance, and then get the settled well water from the water jar.

Ax looked at Che Baihu's cautiousness, and then looked at Xin Qu talking and laughing, and felt even more strange.

Why do I feel that this person is very careful in dealing with any of Xinqu's actions, for fear...for fear that Xinqu will be angry.

When the water was drained, Aqi, Shu Dagu and other disabled people arrived.

"Hey, I thought we would be the first to come, but I didn't expect them to arrive first." A Qi looked at the supervisor who was sitting obediently. He was surprised and looked at Xin Qu with admiration.

He has seen slaves from many tribes, even the kind of slaves who were raised since childhood, and they are only respectful to certain people who raised them.

But the half-enslaved slaves were not so submissive. Xinqu even directly arranged for them to live in the vacated empty warehouse. They had to squeeze seven or eight people into one room, but they were still happy with it.

Even though he had the chance to escape, he didn't choose to leave at all.

This is very interesting.

"Have you got the food? Otherwise, if you cook so much food by yourself, you will have to complain to me later."

Xinqu laughed and asked knowingly.

A Qi and the others shook the dried meat in their hands: "Air-dried venison can be eaten once it is grilled."

"Then hang it on the pole on the eaves first." Xin Qu pointed to the eaves, and A Qi walked over and hung it up, stepping on the stone as the foundation: "You will still enjoy it. This foundation is also very convenient for mud on rainy days. !”

"Learned it from Fang Guo from the south. It's nothing."

Xinqu also got them water.

Then I saw more and more people coming in. A few "nobles" frowned when they saw the naturalized people supervising the work, but thinking that this was the patriarch's house, they couldn't say much.

"Qu, as soon as I heard your call, I even brought the good food from home!" Under the firelight, a kind old man holding a basket attracted everyone's attention, "Boy, the wine is ready. ?"

"Gulu Xiaogui..."

Many of the "nobles" who came were surprised, because this was the contemporary helmsman of the Gulu family and the most protected technician in the tribe.

Xin Qu actually invited him here!
You know, when many old and middle-aged people in the clan are drafted, he will be hidden immediately.

Because of the technology he mastered, even businessmen from the south would covet it.

He knew how to make bronze "car parts".

Gulu is Xin's name for "car".

This is the last baby bump in the clan.

If it hadn't been for the car he built back then, even the last group of Xin family members would not have been able to escape the disaster of their migration journey.

"There is wine, there is wine." Xin Qu also smiled and stepped forward, took the basket, and helped him sit down. "I will pour you three glasses later."

"Okay, okay!" Gulu Xiaogui smiled happily, "I have watched you grow up too! You have known filial piety best since you were a child. Last time you said there was monkey wine hidden in the mountains and you went to look for it. Fortunately, you are okay. Otherwise, I will regret it to death! If I had known better, I would not have said that."

Gulu Xiaogui and the original owner knew each other. After Xinqu inherited the memory of the original owner, the old man often visited him and regretted saying he wanted to drink several times.

This caused the original body to fall into the mountain and die.

Later, when Xin Qu went out to do business, he would always get some wine when he came back. After all, this old man was his assistant who helped him quickly understand the various forces in the tribe.

Without him, it would have been difficult for me to quickly clarify the connections between the "nobles" of the tribe in the past six months.

I invited you here today just to calm down the crowd.

Xinqu took care of the old man and sat down, and then greeted the others.

With Gulu Xiaogui around, the others also lost their momentum a bit.

After all, this is the most difficult master to deal with besides the old witch and the clan leader.

Known for his eccentric temper.

They were not allowed to offend him at home.

After the ax had divided the cooked thick millet porridge, Xinqu asked A Qi to do the butchering and divided the various kinds of dried meat he had brought, while he shared some wine with everyone.

The overseers were flattered, wine is a good thing!
Rare!
"Today, inviting everyone to the banquet is also about the future development of the tribe. In addition to food rationing, I also want to change the production methods of the tribe."

After three rounds of drinking, Xinqu said to everyone: "I plan to follow the example of businessmen and arrange some special positions in the tribe.

For example, in the area of ​​farming, special people need to be arranged to monitor and coordinate production.

Farm tools need to be developed and researched into newer, more labor-saving things.

Arrow clusters and bow making are even more important.

Finally, there is Gulu. "

Xinqu looked at Gulu Xiaogui: "Old Witch and the others are worried about many things. They are afraid that your existence will be discovered by merchants. But now that merchants are forcing you away again and again, any small noble from the north can be taken away. There are hundreds of us, and this kind of thing cannot happen again.

If it happened again, how would other members of the tribe live?

Does the child still have a future?
Without the protection of mature men, the burden falls on us little brats who have just grown up. Can you feel at ease? "

Gulu Xiaogui said hey, "Boy, your character has improved a lot since you came back from fighting, but you are just too irritable. Everyone knows the truth. What we are afraid of is not Shang Xiaoyi.

He is just a fart!
The really difficult thing to deal with is the Amish business.That's the behemoth. "
