However, he knew that his daughter had her own plans, and he didn't want to expose her in front of outsiders, so he didn't say anything.
Lu didn't know what Qiao Yu meant by this.
However, he stated the facts truthfully: "In the past, there were only three or four goats or deer as big as prey. You know how many there are now."
Qiao Yu nodded. "If all three teams dig traps, they can harvest 20 to 30 prey, big and small, in a day. Even if we only give them half, they'll still be much stronger than before, right? And they won't have to take any risks."
The amount of prey in the mountains is limited, and it's not like it won't decrease. If we keep setting traps and snares along the same route, the number of prey will naturally decrease. But the three teams can change their routes and still catch as much prey in a short period of time.
"You want half?" Huo's eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief. "You want so much, can you finish it?"
Qiao Yu ignored him and stared at the road. "Is it too much for me to take half?"
Lu shook his head: "It's not excessive, it's just..." He looked towards the mountain, and it seemed that he was not able to say the rest of the words.
Shan pondered for a moment and asked Qiao Yu, "What do you want half of it for?"
He didn't believe that if his daughter took the other half, it would belong to her. Given her character and the intelligence she had shown in recent days, she would never do such a foolish thing. Although Shan didn't know the saying, "It's not the lack of wealth that's worrying, but the inequality of wealth," he understood the principle very well, and he believed his daughter understood it too.
Qiao Yu smiled. "Of course it doesn't belong to me, but to the tribe. I plan to use this half to distribute according to work, to the people in the breeding team such as Mang, and to the people who will follow me to make pottery in the future."
She glanced at the others and said, "And you too. Your class isn't in vain. And your share will come from this half."
Several people opened their mouths wide.
"Then... then aren't you at a disadvantage?" Lu stuttered.
Isn't Yu too generous? Sharing your own things with others?
"Of course I want a share too. And it'll be larger than anyone else. After all, I've made the biggest contribution and worked the hardest. Pottery making isn't easy." Qiao Yu glanced at everyone. "Do you have any objections?"
Everyone quickly shook their heads, even the fire had no objection.
Compared to the half I just mentioned, she only took a small part of this half, which was already too little. And her contribution to the tribe was far more than that.
If she was greedy and really wanted half, the tribe wouldn't object, even if they were unhappy. After all, it was Yu who came up with the traps and snares. She also suggested the farming. And the success of the subsequent pottery making would undoubtedly depend on Yu. At most, they would privately criticize her, secretly resentful of her taking so much.
Of course, it’s hard to say over time.
Now she doesn't want so many things, just a little bit, how can anyone still have any opinions? Satisfaction or not is determined by comparison.
"From now on..." Qiao Yu continued, "regardless of whether the breeding or pottery making is successful or not, the participants will only take what I give them, and I will reward them with a portion of the breeding profits. All profits generated from successful breeding will belong to the tribe."
"If you have no objection to these distribution ratios and methods, I will list them out and make them the rules of the tribe. No matter what we do in the future, materials will be distributed and rewards will be given according to these rules. I will use the rest to build the tribe." Qiao Yu said.
"Build a tribe?"
This is another new term, and everyone is confused when they hear it.
Everyone understood what this word meant, but in the past, people were always busy trying to avoid starvation, so they never considered this question.
We have meat to eat and a cave to live in, so what else do we need to build? This cave is good enough.
Even Shan was full of questions at this moment.
"Do you think the tribe is good and safe now?" Qiao Yu asked.
Several people blinked and said nothing.
How can it be safe?
In winter, wolves would come crashing down from the mountains, and in summer, flash floods could kill people at any time. Living in this valley, they felt truly insecure.
But at least this is a place for everyone to stay. It can block the cold wind in winter, and guard the cave entrance to prevent attacks from wild animals. If they don't live here, where can they go?
"I won't talk about the flash floods every summer. We can always avoid them by hiding outside for two months. But what about winter? What about man-made disasters?" Qiao Yu's eyes were sharp.
"The mountain behind us isn't high, nor is it a cliff. What if wild beasts come in during the winter? The tribe's life is getting better and better, but as long as we go out to trade, we'll always be targeted. If they attack from the mountain and send troops to block us at the valley entrance, none of us will be able to escape. Even if they don't attack and just guard the valley entrance, we'll starve to death here."
This terrain is like catching a turtle in a jar, and it is easy to catch and kill someone.
After hearing this, several people shuddered as they imagined the scene.
With the traps and snares, their tribe's good life will be known to others sooner or later, and it will be impossible to hide it.
You know, there are many young men in the tribe who don't have women. If life in the tribe is good, how can they be willing to be single for the rest of their lives? They will get angry at anyone who tries to stop them from going out to exchange women. And as long as they go out to exchange women, the situation in the tribe will be known to others.
It will be too late to think about safety issues at that time.
