Civilized Zerg Lord

Chapter 15 Yom Kippur

The content of copper ore is generally less than one percent. Although the copper ore of the Guman tribe has filled several large warehouses, it may not be possible to get much copper after actual smelting.

Therefore, Gu Hao was not in a hurry to try to make swords and armors with huge consumables.

Instead, it was decided that the smelted bronze would be used first to make spearheads, axes, hammerheads, and mining picks.

The production of these tools is relatively simple, and they are more suitable for the Gu barbarian tribe to hone their skills.

With the coming of winter, the Gu barbarian tribe has almost stopped all outdoor activities.

Even with the No. [-] salt well, Gu Hao temporarily gave up because it was impossible to dry the salt in winter and extracting it with charcoal was too wasteful.

Without going out for activities, Gu Hao found that many tribesmen in the tribe were idle, doing nothing all day but gathering together to chat.

This situation instead promoted the integration within the tribe, making the original differences between the redeemers and the Gu barbarians almost disappear.

Therefore, Gu Hao decided to let some outstanding redeemers officially obtain the status of Gu Barbarian Tribe.

The Guman tribe designated this day as the "Day of Atonement", and on this day every year, the status of some of the atoneers would be revoked.

This move made the Redeemers full of hope for the future, and also gave them a deeper sense of identification with the Gu Barbarian tribe.

Fortunately, Gu Hao had prepared enough food in the autumn, so on the Day of Atonement, even if everyone was allowed to enjoy it, too much of the stored grain was not consumed.

This move made the redeemers full of gratitude to Gu Hao, and also gave them a deeper sense of belonging to the Guman tribe.

Gu Hao noticed that the mission mentioned that in addition to building a city, it was also necessary to form a prototype of civilization.

And this prototype of civilization may be the most difficult task, because the formation of civilization cannot be completed overnight.

A tribe with strong fighting power may be able to conquer thousands of miles of territory within a year.

But the time required to form a civilization with a sense of identity is dozens or hundreds of times longer than conquering land.

The formation of the prototype of civilization requires long and sustained accumulation. This is a long-term process.

Although the slave system of the Redeemer was very suitable for the expansion and development of primitive civilization, it was not enough to form a city-state with a sense of civilization identity.

This requires Gu Hao to perfect it. This Day of Atonement is a hope left to the slaves.

From then on, a steady stream of slaves entered the Gu Barbarian tribe, and every year a steady stream of slaves became Gu Barbarian tribesmen.

In Gu Hao's view, Yom Kippur not only gave slaves a glimmer of hope, but also gradually integrated them and gave them a sense of identity.

And those who have finally managed to survive and become members of the Gu Barbarian Tribe from redeemers will spontaneously defend the Gu Barbarian Tribe and this system.

Gu Hao understands that people who gain freedom through suffering will often cherish everything they have now.

Of course, Gu Hao is also prepared to formulate some laws, although the status of slaves in the Gu barbarian tribe is not high.

But they cannot be reduced to the status of pigs and dogs. The lowest level can only be the status of criminals.

Otherwise, allowing the tribesmen to ravage the slaves would only expand the tribe's barbarism.

Of course, as the size of the tribe increases, this situation will still be difficult to avoid, but the system that should be established still needs to be established.

Reasonable laws can not only protect the minimum rights and interests of slaves, but also be conducive to the healthy development of tribal civilization.

In addition to formulating laws for the tribe, Gu Hao not only has to study voodoo every day, but also teaches the tribesmen to learn writing, mathematics, etc., which can be said to be full of skills.

I wish I could break the whole person into two and use it.

Gu Hao set up a simple school in a tribal center to teach the gathered tribesmen how to recognize letters and numbers.

At the beginning, everyone was still a little confused, but after Gu Hao's patient guidance, many people were able to recognize some simple words and master addition and subtraction within ten.Wu, in particular, has a strong learning ability and can already perform arithmetic calculations within one hundred.

After twenty sunsets of learning, most adults in the Guman tribe have learned addition and subtraction within ten.

Some people with strong learning ability have learned addition and subtraction within one hundred, such as Wu.

Gu Hao also introduced a reward system:
For example, if a redeemer completes basic mathematics and writing studies, he can be directly exempted from the status of a redeemer.

If the members of the Guman tribe complete these studies, they can hold higher positions in the tribe.

This undoubtedly greatly stimulated the tribesmen's enthusiasm for learning.

The only thing in the tribe that Gu Hao doesn't have to worry about is probably medical technology.

Zhan is most proficient in poison, and those who are proficient in poison are all proficient in medical skills. Zhan can almost distinguish the characteristics of most herbs, whether they are poison or medicine. He can tell by looking, smelling and touching them.

It is true that having an elder in a family is like having a treasure. For Gu Hao, he is almost the living Shennong.

Of course, this knowledge is actually inherited from the Gu barbarian tribe, but there is no doubt about the importance of medical knowledge.

Gu Hao attached great importance to Xie's huge contribution to medical knowledge.

So Gu Hao found a few tribesmen with good learning ability in the school.

In addition to learning Chinese characters and mathematics every day, I also learn herbal medicine knowledge from Elder Zhan.

Strive to establish the own traditional Chinese medicine system belonging to the Gu barbarian tribe as soon as possible.

The first batch of mature tools built by craftsmen have also begun to be put into use.

Although the weather is cold, there is still no problem as long as the tribe does not stray too far from the tribe.

A group of tribesmen carried newly made axes, led by Wu, and walked into the woods, splitting thick trees.

A clearing was soon cut out of the woods in preparation for the tribe's expansion in the coming year.

The tribesmen also planned wide roads in the open space to facilitate tribal transportation.

The locations of important buildings need to be planned in advance. Gu Hao is not a master in this area, so he can only practice tribal planning slowly.

Gu Hao stood in the middle of the clearing, thinking intently about what the tribe would look like in the future.

Another important job in winter is to train a group of combat-effective warriors. This responsibility is of course also assumed by Wu.

Wu's task after completing his studies every day is to lead the idle adult men in the tribe for training.

A group of strong men holding spears were practicing fighting in the open space. Wu watched from the sidelines, correcting their movements from time to time according to the method taught by Gu Hao.

At this time, the Gu barbarian tribe finally looked a little civilized.

With simple mathematics came the calendar.

Gu Hao was too lazy to recreate a unique calendar and directly adopted the Chinese calendar.

However, Gu Hao can only estimate a rough date at present. From the time when winter comes, it should have been about a month.

But Gu Hao heard that this year seemed to be the coldest in more than ten years. The temperature was still dropping and the heavy snow continued.

In order to keep out the cold, the tribesmen all put on thick animal skin clothes and gathered around the fire to keep warm.

It is estimated that this year's cold winter may last for a long time. Fortunately, the tribe has stored enough food in advance to prevent famine.
