primitive survival evolution

Chapter 223 Four Great Lines

"That's right, so I plan to change the entire tribe." Li Yan said, "You will understand later."

With the improvement of tribal productivity, the existing social system is no longer suitable.

The current ginger tribe, whether they are farmers, workers, or management, they are still in the primitive stage of working together and dividing together, which makes it easy for lazy people to appear. Positivity will be mobilized.

To implement private ownership, the most indispensable thing is coins. Coins are a medium of exchange, but they can serve as universal goods, and they are one of the best means to implement private ownership.

For this reason, Li Yan visited various departments in the tribe and investigated the production situation of many tribesmen. Finally, he boldly abolished the communist system and implemented private ownership.

However, this is not complete private ownership. The fields such as industry, agriculture and commerce are still dominated by tribes. The reform is only the distribution method, that is, the distribution of labor results.

After the investigation, Li Yan began to choose the currency again.

Now, shellfish coins, a kind of blue seashells, are used in the alliance. However, there are not many such seashells, and they cannot be completely controlled by Li Yan. Therefore, Li Yan wants to make a kind of A new currency, a currency that only circulates within the Jiang tribe.

General currency can be divided into banknotes and metal coins. Generally speaking, it has the characteristics of convenient circulation, low value, high recognition, and difficult production.

However, paper has not been invented yet, and even if paper is invented, the paper suitable for making banknotes will not be produced so quickly, so the idea of ​​making banknotes was excluded by Li Yan.

The second is metal currency, but now is the Stone Age, metal is scarce, and the value of metal is much greater than currency. It is very unrealistic to circulate metal coins, not to mention that iron is precious and easy to rust , and copper has not been found.

Metal coins and banknotes were excluded by Li Yan.

What is suitable as currency?
For this reason, Li Yan tried many materials, and in the end, he found that only pottery coins could meet the needs of the current tribe.

Pottery is easy to break, but it's just big pottery. Li Yan designed a set of thicker pottery coins than ordinary coins, so that the thick pottery coins won't break easily.

This pottery coin is divided into: 100 yuan, 50 yuan, ten yuan, five yuan, one yuan, five jiao, one dime, a total of seven kinds of ceramic coins of different sizes and colors.

Each pottery coin is molded with a unique wooden mold and glazed with different colors, which looks very beautiful.

Now the tribal pottery industry belongs to the public, so there is no need to worry about someone making counterfeit money privately for profit.

After Li Yan ordered the ceramic factory to make samples of this kind of pottery coins, he took these pottery coins and found various high-level officials of the tribe, and then held a meeting.

There are more than 30 people including Jiang Mu, Bai Wu, village chiefs, captains, and ministers of various departments.

Everyone gathered under the totem tree, listening to Li Yan's long speech.

"Everyone, I believe that you have also discovered that many troublesome things have occurred in various departments of the tribe during these days."

"For example, every month, various departments have to distribute food and living supplies to every worker. Sometimes it takes several days to do it, which is very inconvenient."

"Sometimes, some people don't work, or don't work hard, and they don't produce much material."

"Some farmers don't work, which leads to a reduction in the grain they grow, right?"

"Right now, you're busy every day, aren't you?"

"Obviously, there is a problem with the tribe now!"

Li Yan pointedly pointed out the difficulties that everyone encountered these days.

When the people present heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and at the same time they all looked at Li Yan expectantly, because they had heard a few days ago that Li Yan was going to change the tribe to make it smoother.

Li Yan looked at them, and then looked at his younger sister "Ying". Ying was in charge of tribal agriculture, and basically she was responsible for the farmers' problems.

"Sakura, please make arrangements to allocate the existing farmers' fields, and tell them that in the future, the grain grown in those fields will be handed over to the tribe, and the rest will be distributed to themselves." Li Yan said.

"Brother, can this work? They have so much food and need other supplies, what should they do? Don't the other clansmen starve to death?"

"We can use pottery coins to buy food from them, and they will definitely sell us some food."

As Li Yan said, he took out those new pottery coins for everyone to see.

He also explained the functions and benefits of pottery coins to them, and each of them suddenly understood and expressed their support.

Sakura also felt that using pottery coins to buy the food of the tribe and collecting [-]% of the food tax could well control and manage the food of the tribe, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Li Yan continued: "In the future, the department responsible for purchasing grain from farmers will be called the Agricultural Bank, or Agricultural Bank for short, and will be responsible for making and issuing pottery coins."

"Yeah." Sakura was dumbfounded, but still nodded.

Li Yan said again: "In the future, the workers will be the same, and they will directly distribute coins as wages!"

With this proposal, Jiang Gong, who is in charge of the tribal industry, quickly expressed his doubts: "Patriarch, before we gave them food, clothing and other supplies directly. If you give them pottery coins, where can they go to exchange for these supplies?"

"Good question!"

Li Yan nodded and smiled: "So, I will build a commercial street in Jiangcheng, a commercial street managed by the tribe, where food, clothing, shoes, pottery and other supplies are sold, and everyone can use pottery coins to go there in the future." You can buy the materials you need, whether it is food or clothes, so that everyone will work hard to get more pottery coins, right?"

When everyone heard this, they all suddenly realized that Li Yan was a god-man who could come up with such a perfect solution. This would not only reduce the manpower and time needed to distribute supplies, but also greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the tribal people to work.

Li Yan looked at the people around him, and continued: "In the future, workers and sellers' wages will be distributed by a bank, which is called Industrial and Commercial Bank of China!"

Now there is no objection.

"Also, I want to integrate the existing construction clansmen of the tribe to form a construction department, which will be managed by the tribe, and the department that distributes pottery coins to these construction workers is called the Construction Bank, or CCB for short."

No one got it right.

Now there are three banks of agriculture, industry, and construction. Li Yan thought for a while, and said: "There is also the issue of coin distribution for hunting teams, fishermen, soldiers, caravans, and you and others present. I plan to set up a bank. Ginger Bank, as the largest bank in the tribe!"

Everyone was wrong.

At this time, Jiang Mu, who had been silent all this time, began to speak, she nodded and said meaningfully: "Well, Yan, you did a good job this time, but have you ever thought about how to implement it? That is to say, to let everyone obey what you said, I think you still missed a lot of things."
