Ma Yue, a half-baked immortal cultivator who blasphemed the immortal grand Ancestor, was struck by lightning and transmigrated. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth in this primitive socie...
Basically, a plow needs a horse to pull it in front and someone to hold it in the back, right? So, you need an assistant to help you plow, right?
What do you rely on to plow the land? The most important thing is to plow the ground. You need a hard plow head like a shovel, a hard object like a shovel, to plow the ground, right?
As for other auxiliary accessories needed, including how to better make the wildebeest in front exert its strength, Ma Yue said a lot. The rest requires the high priest, rookie and bird to use some wisdom, right?
It's okay if it's a little simple, Ma Yue doesn't expect to make some advanced "curved plow" or something like that, it would be fine if he could at least let the wildebeests help use their strength to turn the soil.
Ma Yue knew this was likely another long and arduous process of exploration. Isn't everything developed through trial and error? Don't assume primitive people are all mentally retarded, and that working people are the most intelligent?
The tillage and sowing were basically completed, and the high priest accepted the task of developing the plow. He was very enthusiastic and took with him a few trusted men and women who were good at making tools. They continued to work on making the plow using stone, bone and wooden tools.
Ma Yue provided a rough idea. As long as you know the purpose, you really need to slowly ponder and explore. Of course, if you don't actually put it into practice, just blindly pondering will not work. You need hands-on, repeated experiments.
After the work was assigned, Ma Yue would at most show some concern from time to time.
Thanks to Ma Yue's efforts, the quality of life in the Hai Tribe had improved significantly over the past year. The arrival of salt, in particular, had significantly increased the strength of the Hai Tribe. The conquest of the Xiong Tribe, the recruitment of newcomers, the purchase of newcomers, and the constant birth of newborns all contributed to new statistics released in midsummer.
The population of the Sea Tribe has reached 200 people.
Most importantly, there were about seventy men and women in their prime who were able to go out and participate in the hunt. Regardless of their age or frailty, anyone who could contribute to the hunt had to be a strong and capable man.
The ratio of able-bodied men to the Hai Tribe was relatively high. When the Hai Tribe was at its worst, there were only about 10 able-bodied men out of the 50 or so people.
The tribe exchanged more and more pottery. Under Ma Yue's call, the Hai tribe fully implemented the system of drinking boiled water. The medical conditions in those days were very poor. It was easy to die from a slight illness.
The people of the Hai Tribe must obey the will of the charlatan. Good hygiene habits must be gradually cultivated.
Unfortunately, there was no cloth in those days, and in the hot summer, they had to wear animal skin skirts. Ma Yue didn't understand what linen, silk, and the like were, and he didn't bring an encyclopedia with him when he traveled through time.
I remember that history said that the ancient Egyptians planted flax a million years ago. Maybe there were primitive people in that era who could plant and weave flax, right?
Ma Yue himself doesn't know how to make pottery, but the "Niupi" tribe over there can do that, right? Ma Yue doesn't know how to grow and use flax, but maybe that larger tribe can make clothing out of it. Coming to this primitive society doesn't mean I'm a savior. I don't understand, but maybe others do?
In fact, Ma Yue's arrival in the Sea Tribe had already brought many changes and benefits to the tribe. Whether it was fishing techniques or salt-making techniques, they were the foundation of the Sea Tribe's survival. At the very least, they had greatly improved the tribe's living conditions.
Many nearby tribes, large and small, did not have the technology to boil salt, which led to the Hai tribe having crude salt, a product with extremely high exchange value, in a short period of time, and gradually being able to develop ahead of other tribes.
The many sharp bone and stone tools exchanged greatly improved the Sea Tribe's ability to produce new tools. Otherwise, it would be a very slow process and would take years to expect the people in the tribe to slowly sharpen out sharp basic production tools.
How could you cut down trees and make other tools without sharp bone and stone tools?
Ma Yue observed that the two men and women under the high priest were very skilled and interested in making tools, so he decided to let these two specialize in the research and development and making of tools in the future.
It is an honor that this man and woman have received Ma Yue's attention. He even specially named them "Lu" and "Ban". This is Ma Yue's bad taste. The most important thing is that they are easy to remember.
There are about 200 people in the tribe. Not everyone has a name. Even if they did, Ma Yue couldn't remember so many people, right? Ma Yue didn't name many people himself. Basically, they were all people with some skills.
With the support of Ma Yue and the high priest, in the process of exploring and making the plow, "Lu" and "Ban" occupied several sharp bone knives, stone axes and the like in the tribe. In the process of making the plow, a lot of materials were wasted... It doesn't matter. Isn't the process of exploration a process that requires waste?
In the primitive tribe, the warriors of the hunting team always have the highest status. Under Ma Yue's deliberate guidance, the farming experts' vegetables and birds; the manufacturing experts' Lu and Ban; and the two tribal old men's Bo and Lang who boil salt, are ranked in the middle position in the tribe, second only to the heroes of the hunting team.
Although these people are old, young and weak, you have made great contributions to the tribe. The improvement of your status has made these professionals more motivated.
Ma Yue would not raise the status of these professional old and weak talents to the level of hunting team warriors all at once. This was not in line with the conventional thinking of primitive people. Some changes could not be achieved overnight and should be done as gradually as possible.
Ma Yue has high authority, but he should not abuse his power and should also consider the opinions of some groups of people.
As the food reserves became a little more abundant, Ma Yue asked to build as many wooden houses as possible. Ma Yue explained to the two priests and three leaders that in the future, the tribe would buy more people and the population would continue to increase, and it would not work without enough wooden houses.
