Chapter 126: Han Tribe Reform (First Order Requested)
In the dark shack, Luo Chong felt the girl in his arms trembling, and warm tears flowing down his arms. He quickly turned sideways, hugged Xiaodie and coaxed her.
"No, I don't dislike you, really, but we are both still a little young now, and I don't want you to have a baby so early, it's not good for your health." Luo Chong explained quickly.
"But my mother gave birth to me at this age." Xiaodie said in disbelief.
"I know that you can have a baby at this age, but it's not good for you and our child. If you have a baby at such a young age, it is very likely to be difficult to give birth. What if you and our child die at that time?" Luo Chong continued to persuade Xiaodie.
"What is a difficult birth?" Xiaodie asked blankly when she heard that giving birth might lead to death.
"Difficult labor is caused by being too young and not having a full body. When the time comes to give birth, the woman may not be able to give birth. At that time, the woman will bleed a lot and the baby will suffocate to death. You should have seen this." "
Really? I have seen sisters in our tribe giving birth before. Two of them died this way. Is it because they are not old enough?
But my mother said that women give birth at this age. She also said that women giving birth is like men fighting beasts. They must use great strength, otherwise they will be killed by beasts. But she didn't say it was because they were young." Xiaodie stopped crying and looked up at Luo Chong.
Haha, your mother's metaphor is really vivid. Luo Chong complained in his heart and continued to explain to Xiaodie.
"That's because my mother doesn't understand. They can't give birth when they give birth. A big reason is that they are too young. So you can't give birth now. If you die, what should I do?"
"Huh, how do you know that? You are not a woman." Xiaodie still didn't believe it.
"Then I can also make white salt, pottery, and ox carts. Does your mother know how to do that? She doesn't know as much as I do." Luo Chong helped Xiaodie wipe the tears from her face.
"Huh, how do you know so much? How is your pottery made? I've seen the elders in the tribe grind stone basins, and the stone basins he grinds are different from your pottery." Xiaodie snorted, and her curiosity was also aroused.
"Do you really want to know? Then put on your clothes first." Luo Chong took Xiaodie's bellyband from behind.
Xiaodie was embarrassed and pushed Luo Chong away. She turned her back to put on her bellyband. After a while of rustling, she turned around and lay on Luo Chong.
"I'm done, tell me quickly."
"Okay, I'll tell you, pottery is actually made by putting soil in fire." Luo Chong said, stroking Xiaodie's smooth back.
"Then, what about white salt?"
"White salt, white salt is made by boiling stones in water."
"Luo Chong, when can I give birth to a child for you?"
"Well, at least three more winters."
"No, at most two more winters."
"Well, then two winters."
Xiaodie snorted and lay on Luo Chong without saying anything. After a while, Xiaodie asked again.
"Luo Chong."
"Hmm?"
"Why aren't you asleep yet, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about our tribe. There are almost a thousand people in our tribe. How much food do these people need? What do they eat? Where do they live? What do they do every day? There are so many things."
"Have you figured it out?"
"Yeah, I'm thinking about it."
"When I get to the Han tribe, I'll help you grow a lot of hemp grass and weave more hemp cloth for you and our children. I'm very good at weaving. My mother taught me. I'll weave cloth for you when I come back. Let's see whether your cloth is better or mine is better."
Xiaodie fell asleep on Luo Chong while mumbling, while Luo Chong was still thinking about the questions just now.
The Han tribe originally had about 350 people, and now more than 550 new people have joined. Before the end of this month, the You tribe will send at least 100 people to themselves. The population of the entire Han tribe is about to break through the three-digit mark. It is definitely not enough to use the previous loose system management. The Han tribe needs reform.
Previously, the Han tribe had only about 300 people, and there were only four tribes. There were only a few dozen adult men, so now when they needed archers in war, they had to use women to make up the numbers.
Now it has suddenly exceeded 1,000 people, and the origins of the members have become more complicated, with people from more than a dozen tribes. The most important thing for the Han tribe now is the surname.
People from the same tribe cannot marry, and there is also a household separation system. Give people from more than a dozen tribes a surname, and everyone must have a name. Men must live separately with their spouses and form their own families. Group marriage is no longer allowed as before.
Of course, everyone still lives together, and it is still a public ownership system, which is more conducive to the development of the Han tribe. The
advantage of this is that the tribe can reproduce within itself, and there is no need to go to the spring meeting every year to find a partner.
The population of the Han tribe comes from more than 20 tribes. These people are not of the same tribe, and they have no blood relationship, so their offspring can find spouses in their own tribe and achieve internal digestion.
Even if everyone becomes relatives and the same clan in the future, according to human genetic genes, after more than five generations, even if they are of the same clan, they have no blood relationship with each other, and there is no problem for these relatives to form a family again.
In ancient times, there was a saying that "cousins are born to be a pair". Of course, if they are cousins within three generations, they are still somewhat close, but if they are more than five generations, who knows each other? Even if they are relatives, they are distant relatives.
The second focus of reform is the class management system, or the hierarchical management system. Before
, the Han tribe worked every day at sunrise, and after getting up in the morning, they had to ask Luo Chong, the leader, to arrange tasks temporarily. Now more than a thousand people can't run to the leader one by one and ask, "Leader, what should I do today?"
Isn't that too ridiculous? It is estimated that half a day will pass by when Luo Chong arranges them one by one.
Therefore, according to Luo Chong's initial idea, the Han tribe should be divided into at least three or four levels.
The leader is in charge of all matters of the tribe and makes strategic plans for development; the elders and witches are the next level, but they will not be assigned real positions. They only have a title and cannot make any decisions. They only have the power to make suggestions to the leader, but the leader has the final say on whether to adopt them. Therefore, the level of elders is equivalent to nothing, and their power is completely hollowed out.
That's right, it's dictatorship. Dictatorship represents power. Only power can hold all forces together, form centripetal force in the tribe, bring everyone together, and make it easier for Luo Chong to command the entire tribe.
If everyone says this today and he says that tomorrow, then there is nothing to do, just disband directly, and everyone goes back to their own homes and finds their own mothers.
In serious cases, it may even directly cause internal strife and then lead to the disintegration of the tribe.
The next level is the clan leader, such as Dashu and Shuda. These two were once the leaders of the tribe and have rich management experience. They can be assigned some real positions and delegate some power to them.
They can manage their own teams and obey Luo Chong's orders directly. They only need to be responsible to Luo Chong, and they are the most powerful people besides the leader.
