When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 320: Development Issues of Snake Hao Department
Finished solving the report sent by Bing Jia.

Xin Qu suddenly obtained [-] armors that could be used directly. It can be said that his strength has skyrocketed. Combined with Xin Qu's previous armors and other gains this time, there are nearly [-] armored soldiers.

Suddenly, Xin Qu felt a little dizzy!

I have never fought such a rich battle!

two thousand!Armored soldiers!
When I am armed, let’s see who dares to shout loudly with me in Shannan.

As soon as Bingjia left, Snake Hao came forward and said, "Chief Xinqu, I think we can talk about trade. Can you please give me some peace?"

The words that Snake was good made Xin Qu look slightly strange: "Logically speaking, these armors are the public property of the Xin family, and they need to be given priority to the soldiers and people of the Xin family.

You are just my ally. Even if I give you even part, you will be criticized by the clan.

Therefore, if you really want it, according to my method with the Xin family, we will organize households to equalize the people, and convert the slaves into public property, I can consider giving you a batch first. "

"Hmm... In that case, I'll think about it."

Snake did not refuse openly.

"Okay, think about it carefully. I'll go talk to Ji's people. Since he took my loot, he will have to give up some supplies."

Xinqu left.

Behind Snake Hao, Zhi Hao and Tu Hao came forward: "Mother, do you really plan to join the Youxin clan?"

Snake Hao put away his thoughts, turned around and looked at the people of the Youxin clan who were busy and said: "Fifteen hundred collar armors, plus the five hundred collar collars controlled by the Youxin clan's headquarters, let me ask you how many armors are these?" ?”

"This..." The two looked at each other, couldn't this be two thousand?
Then they were stunned, yes!

two thousand!

This is not one or two hundred, but two thousand!An astronomical figure!
"Since Xin's headquarters is underpopulated, Xin Qu's armor will not be given away easily. It is estimated that it will be placed in the arsenal for unified management." She Hao passed by Changping before and learned about the yamen system in Changping.

The management method of the arsenal made Snake better understand what Xin Qu had planned.

The arsenal is for control, but what is it for?

Definitely not a stone weapon, a spear, an axe, or even a bow.

It is about crossbows, armor, and arrows, which are military materials that require high technology and high investment.

Yes, arrows are high-tech and high-investment materials, especially arrow shafts, which are the most expensive and technically difficult things to make. Most tribes can’t make them, so individuals can only make their own, mainly an adaptive one. .

But this is fatal, because it cannot be used universally, which will lower the average combat level of the army. Therefore, Xinqu believes that central forces must be responsible for unified manufacturing and control training.

Therefore, Snake Hao tested Xinqu to see if Xinqu could sell it, but Xinqu also directly told Snake Hao that it was impossible to sell, but you could make yourself a household with the people according to my system and rules, and hand over the rights of all slaves. It is not impossible for you to take control, establish a household, and start farming. In the future, you will have priority in enlisting in the army, and then you will be assigned an armor based on your title.

Seeing his two daughters thinking, Snake Hao said: "What's more important is the expansion speed of the Xin family. It's too fast! Maybe this attack on the Guzhu family was tricky, but Xin Qu didn't. All the troops of the Guzhu clan were brought to Changping, but some small tribes and nobles of the Mo clan were first brought under their watch.

A group of young people from the Xin family will be arranged to supervise the construction of cities and control nearby water flows and land through the cities. Starting next year, it is expected that there will be large-scale burning of wasteland here, and at the same time, the rivers will be sorted out.

There was the Xin clan's need to perform corvee service and military service, and there was also the difference between serving in turns within and outside the city.

In this way, the Youxin family only needs to stabilize and develop slowly for two years. After completely solving the food problem, they can invest in a new round of expansion.

And the most important thing is that when we passed by Xinshi Market Camp, you also saw the water wheel that existed between Xinshi’s rivers and ditches.

Using limited tools and power to transport large amounts of water to places that need irrigation and turn dry land into irrigated land, I can’t imagine that in the future, after the Xin family completes the construction of Yanqing County, they will be like Changping. These water wheels.

If used, Yanqing's Guishui River alone only needs to find a gap in the middle and upper reaches to build a dam, and Yanqing can be turned into a county with millions of acres of cultivated land.

At that time, the Xin family can even use two counties to complete their internal supply support.

Even if both the east and the west are lost, as long as one city's farmland is still functioning, it can continue to bear the pressure from all directions until it is completely defeated.

But what is the price that needs to be paid to conquer the Youxin clan?
No one dared to think so.Now that we have left the Yourong clan, it is naturally difficult to go back.Your ancestor will never let me go back. "

Snake Hao pointed out a pain point of the matriarchal regime.

That is, once a female clan member goes out to establish a tribe, it is difficult to return unless you die and your daughter or granddaughter returns.

Otherwise, you will be thought by the matriarch of the clan that you might want to seize the position of clan leader.

Conspiracy!

The Snake Hao Department, through You Xin's last operation, actually reaped the dividends from You Xin's alliance with Hijifang after You Xin defeated Chang Xin.

Snake has a lot of people who are easy to control. If you add one piece here and there, you will have three thousand!
You must know that she came here with only 800 people and several sisters' families.

It only took a year, but Xin Qu also manipulated it. With heavy losses, it expanded to a small 3000 manpower. There was no tacit approval of Xin Qu behind this, and She Hao also knew that it would not be possible to rise so fast.But when it reaches 3000 people, it is basically the control limit of a matriarchal tribe.

If it weren't for the Xin family's big skin, Snake wouldn't dare to think about whether he would completely anger the prairie people if he forcibly detained all the women from the prairie tribes who had surrendered and conquered.

But people in the grassland know that they cannot provoke the Xin family, because the Xin family kills people without blinking an eye, and it is terrible to be remembered by a large tribe.

Fortunately, Snake Hao only reversed the patriarchal tribal system of the grassland and improved the status of these women.

But the price is divorce and redistribution of marital relationships.

The advantage is that more male slaves who have lost their reproductive rights can quickly gain reproductive rights, form family relationships with these matriarchs, and engage in polyandry to strengthen the relationship between the two parties.

But it will also disintegrate the original family relationship and force the real strong people who are seeking life in the prairie to leave.

The patrilineal system in the grassland is based on systems such as stepmarriage and group marriage. As long as there is no direct blood relationship, there will be no problem in reproduction. Anyway, if a deformed child is born, it will be left to the natural elimination of heaven and earth.

Therefore, in a patrilineal tribe on the grassland, one man often controls a group of women and gives birth to more than a dozen sons. Then this man unites with the families of several blood brothers. This is the birth of a tribe.

Therefore, the small tribe of prairie people should actually be called a family.

After these families were annexed by Snake Hao, she would definitely deal with them according to her rules. After the maternal status was improved, it also meant that women had to take on the work of childbirth and war.

But prairie women themselves have been eliminated. Those who are too strong and staunch will easily die on the prairie. After all, the prairie is really chaotic. You only want to be superior, but your tribe is destroyed by the tribe next door. What else do you want? If you continue to tell him what to do, he will not spoil you. After all, the tribe that perished is a slave.

Now, the status of the female slaves on the prairie has risen because of the snake's good behavior. Isn't that revenge?
There will always be conflicts that break out, until finally it becomes unbearable and those who are confident that they can make a comeback will flee.

Those who can endure it are either docile or obedient, or they cannot survive without the tribe.

In other words, the matrilineal framework of the Rong family is actually biased towards taking in young and weak men.

The same goes for prairie women. Once they gain rights, they will not give up on weakening men and screening them to ensure their own rights.

As for the most basic survival issues, those are easy for snakes to worry about.

Snake Hao also discovered this problem before. After all, she mainly bought her resources from Youxin Family.

Once Xin's confession is cut off, she has to be obedient.

In other words, if we cannot create a society with a relatively stable food source, or create a society with extremely high hunting death and injury rates but relatively safe and stable rear areas, we cannot continue to promote and strengthen the matrilineal social framework.

The success of the Yourong clan was largely due to the Dayi merchants behind it and the high level of farming over the years.

The Youxin clan allows women to recruit single independent households and even establish female heirs. The reason is that the Youxin clan has a small population and a small mother clan, so it must recognize the people from other clans who recruit children as relatives to expand its own empire as much as possible. Family origin.

However, whether it is the eldest son or the eldest daughter, Xin Qu is not written as compulsory, but is followed by the head of the household - the principle of establishing a direct descendant, but not an eldest son.

Then the children of the female head of the household are the direct descendants, the male head of the household and his wife are the direct descendants, and the rest are unified as concubines.

And Snake also has the Xin family on his back.

Now, Xin Qu moved Snake Hao over and was not going to put her back. Instead, he placed her on the front line with Ji's across the river. He also needed to be careful of the rebellion of the remnants of Lone Bamboo in the east. Her position was surrounded by gunpowder barrels. , under such conditions, it is impossible to really care about the life and death of strong male laborers.

Moreover, if Mrs. Xin asked her to draw a penis in the future, Snake couldn't guarantee that she could handle it.

Because she needs the food support of the Xin family, even if she has the support of the Shang Gong family in the south, it is not as fast and cheap as the water transportation of the Xin family.

In short, Snake found that he had to change.

Either follow the example of the Xin family and enforce the dual marriage and one-brother-in-law system, or sit back and watch the Snake Hao tribe get stuck at the population level of 3000, and then slowly develop for a few years, try to wait until farming is stable, and start to follow the ancestors and establish a male-only clan. , as a mother, controlling her sons.

But the price is-the inevitable issue of the right to speak.

As the saying goes, whoever produces has the right to speak.

Xin's title system can protect women, which is what is needed at this stage. But in the future, when society completely enters a mature stage, the son-in-law system for female household heads will actually only be used as a supplement before the end of the line.

For example, if there is only one girl left in your family, then you can recruit a new grandson. The grandson born will bear your surname, and then make this grandson your eldest grandson, inherit your family business and provide for you in your old age.

As for the status of the adopted son-in-law, it can be expected that as the title system matures, the status of the adopted son-in-law will be looked down upon by the world as it was in the Han and Tang dynasties.

"Forget it, it's useless to say so much now. Hurry up and arrange for people to build a tent to rest. I'll think about it again." Snake Hao left his two daughters busy, and then looked in the direction where Xin Qu was leading people to find Xu Zhui. .

Next, she had to face Jishi...perhaps she had to arrange for someone to have a good talk with Jishi.

It would be best not to fight.
