MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 28

There is a shortage of food in the tribe, and there are only two meals a day, breakfast and dinner.

This is due to the lack of food in the old tribe, and everyone is satisfied and satisfied with the current food arrangement.

When Sang Yu entered the kitchen, everyone was having breakfast.

Seeing her appear, everyone had surprise smiles on their faces.

"Here comes the chief—"

"The chief is recovering—"

"I finally met the leader."

"Leader, sit down and have breakfast together."

Sang Yu hasn't left her bamboo house for more than a month since she fell ill. Many people in the tribe haven't seen her for a long time, and they seem very enthusiastic.

"You guys eat, I'll come over and have a look."

As he spoke, he joined a fire and sat down to enjoy the fire with everyone.

At this time, Gao on the side hurriedly put down the food in his hand, and said to her cautiously: "Chief, didn't you say that the two of you got married earlier and wanted to tell you, Liu and I have discussed it, and we will live together in the future."

When Sang Yu heard this, she subconsciously looked at Liu who was sitting beside him.

I saw Liu with a shy face, and buried her head after listening to Gao's words.

At this time, Liu is completely different from the one when we first met. His originally sallow and thin body has gradually swelled a little, and he looks in good spirits, and his appearance is even more handsome.

It's no wonder that Gao Hui was so anxious to finalize the matter. I'm afraid Liu will look better after a long time, and there will be more competitors.

Sang Yu looked at Liu and asked, "What about Liu, what do you think, are you willing to spend the rest of your life with him?"

Liu had already become the focus of everyone in the kitchen at this time, and his ears were flushed from embarrassment. Hearing the leader's question again, he hurriedly nodded.

Sang Yu saw her reaction, she nodded and said: "Since you are all willing, let's hold a banquet ceremony tomorrow night, and come to testify to you."

"Also, Que lives in the house next to Gao. Que, you and Liu will change houses and let them live together. Turn around and tear down the bamboo in the middle of the house and open it up into one, which will also be your wedding room."

Gao was very excited when he heard it, and completely forgot what Sang Yu had told everyone before, he pulled Liu beside him to kneel on the ground, and kowtowed to Sang Yu.

In the past, there were no rituals in the tribe, and they were together when they were together.

At that time, there were not enough caves, and those who were not qualified to live in caves, even if they found a partner, they could only hide their ears and steal their bells in the dark.

Now the leader actually has to preside over the ceremony for them and arrange a wedding room, how could they be unhappy.

Seeing how excited they were, Sang Yu hurriedly helped them up and said, "I'll live a good life from now on. I'll ask you to carve a pair of marriage certificates later. With this marriage certificate, you can only be loyal to each other, and you can't look for anyone else."

"If one day you really don't like each other, you have to come to me to explain the divorce, and you can be free only if you tear up the marriage certificate. Otherwise, during this period, whoever messes with others will be expelled from the tribe."

Ugly words are said first, so as not to make mistakes later.

Only by constantly emphasizing these rules can they truly become the unshakable laws of the Phoenix Tribe.

When the other women heard this, they all had incredulous expressions.

You can also file for divorce!

"Boss, is it true that women can also file for divorce?"

"Of course, as I said before, no one can force another person to do something he doesn't want to do. This is true for marriage and divorce."

Freedom of marriage should be the first step towards tribal human rights.

"The leader, if I don't get married, it's okay if I don't want to live with a smelly man?"

Little Bai poked his head out from behind the crowd.

The men exploded when they heard it.

"How can a woman be single? If you don't find a man, who will hunt and feed you?"

Bai was unconvinced and said: "Now the tribe needs manpower to raise pigs, grow cassava, and make pottery. The leader said that in the future, if you raise a lot of pigs, you don't have to go hunting. Your hunting team will have no work to do, and you can't rely on the breeding team to grow them." Team, otherwise who will support you!"

Shu and Jiao looked at each other, not knowing how to refute.

Only then did Sang Yu speak out: "Whether to marry or not is your freedom. As long as you don't like it, no one can force you to do what you don't want."

The men's faces suddenly became a little dry.

Daxue said unceremoniously: "Now hunting relies on traps, we women can also dig traps, we don't need to fight with wild animals with bare hands, we can live by ourselves."

The men in the tribe were once again degraded to nothing, one by one looked at each other, wondering how their status was so high in the past, but how they became like this now.

"Then don't you want to have children? There are few people, and the tribe can't grow up."

Sang Yu shook her head: "The child's affairs will come naturally, but the growth of the tribe depends not only on the population, but also on our technological capabilities."

"This scientific and technological ability is actually the ability to manufacture more and more powerful weapons to protect the tribe. It does not require many people."

"When our tribe becomes strong, people all over the world will know that we are powerful, come to us because of our reputation, and settle here, so we don't have to worry about the tribe not growing.

The men were dumbfounded. So, are their men really dispensable?

It's such a bad feeling to be looked down upon! "

Sang Yu smiled and said, "In the tribe, there is no one who can't be replaced. So no one can bully others or force others to do things they don't want to do because they think they are good."

"The same is true for women, and you can't look down on men just because you can do everything. Once you make a mistake, you will also be punished."

Xiaoxue and Yuan and the women smiled and said: "No problem, we accept it. If we get married and go find someone else, we are willing to accept punishment."

Look, some people find it difficult to accept the same thing and the same conditions, which is nothing more than the psychology of privilege.

It didn't take long to step into the patriarchal society, and the idea of ​​male supremacy had penetrated into everyone's bones, and everyone believed that men should be superior to women.

Sang Yu decided that such ideology must be corrected. At present, the transformation is being carried out from within the tribe, and in the future, if the ability and conditions are available, it will further affect a larger area.

Regarding her reforms, there are hardly any other voices in the tribe today. Firstly, it is because of Sang Yugao's high IQ, which has pulled them back from the brink of hunger and danger time and time again, and led them to find a place where they can live and live. industry home.

Now there are fewer men in the tribe, and there are fewer thorns. After the lameness was dealt with before, no one dared to stand up to oppose it. But once there are more people, the difficulty of overcoming it will be further enlarged if everyone agrees with this concept.

Sang Yu has thought about all this over and over again, and there are some things that must be done, and she has some countermeasures in her mind, but today we are talking about Gao and Liu's marriage, so Sang Yu will put aside the extended topic for now.

Just when she was about to turn the topic back to Gao's marriage, Qing suddenly popped up and said: "In the past, men listened to men when they were strong, but now women listen to women when they are strong. I think it's okay."

Yu, who had been silent for a long time, heard Qing's voice, and his drooping head instantly stood up.

Looking at Qing's eyes also became sharp.

They were obviously very good friends before, but now they don't like each other no matter how they look at each other.

Sang Yu shook her head: "It's not about listening to anyone. If you set the rules, live by the rules."

Qing heard this, her eyes darkened, she shut her mouth tightly and stopped talking.

Sang Yu turned her head and talked about the marriage certificate again.

Gao and Liu didn't know what the marriage certificate was. But according to what the leader said, it must be a symbol of mutual affection. The two people were full of joy and nodded frantically, expressing that everything was in accordance with the leader's arrangement.

After arranging the affairs of the two of them, Sang Yu began to arrange other production matters.

"Now that the weather is starting to warm up, life will have to pick up in the future."

Regardless of whether the salt is found or not, the work of building the tribe cannot stop for a moment, and the basic necessities of life will follow closely.

"From today onwards, the hunting team will go out to inspect the traps every morning and evening, and then continue digging in the forest to the west, making sure to dig two big traps a day. If they encounter prey, try to catch it alive and bring it back for the breeding team to raise and domesticate. "

The members of the hunting team responded immediately.

Sang Yu added: "Gao is getting married today, give him and Liu three days off, they don't have to work for these three days, and Yulai will lead the hunting team for the time being."

Hearing the leader arrange Yu, the others were taken aback.

In the same tribe, everyone has been together for so long, no one is unaware of Yu's ability, and no one is unconvinced, but this little girl is young and looks cold most of the time. Except for Xiang and Sang Yu, she was lazy and unresponsive to everyone else.

In this way, there is no dissatisfaction.

"For the breeding team, the sparrow needs to take care of the litter of piglets, and the silkworm eggs can be brought up today. When the weather warms up, the silkworm eggs will hatch and the mulberry leaves will grow out. When the time comes, I will take you to know what the mulberry leaf looks like, Qing, you have to follow the sparrow to help with things, don't be lazy."

Que and Qing hurriedly nodded in response.

"Zhi, you belong to the planting team. It's you and Liu now. Liu will be on vacation for three days. You should first deal with the newly grown grass in the ground and loosen the ground again. Before the snow fell, everyone did it very sloppily. , There are still some rocks and weeds in the field that haven’t been cleaned up, and when it’s warmer, we can plant cassava, jicama and ginger.”

"After Liu Guo's wedding leave, he and Zhi are busy with these things."

The willows and branches all responded.

"The previous handicraft team will divide into a pottery team. Daxue will be the captain of the pottery team. The team members will be Zhongxue, Xiaoxue and Hong for the time being. I will arrange for people to build three more large kilns this afternoon."

"You three sisters have been firing pottery for so long, so you must have some experience in building kilns. So this time, you three sisters will follow up on the kiln building by yourself, and Jiao and Yan will assist you in building the kiln."

The three sisters responded.

"Our handicraft team originally only had three sisters, Jiao, Yan, Hong, and Daxue. Now the pottery team has been separated, and the remaining two will temporarily form a team. When our team grows in the future, we will add more people to you."

Jiao nodded and said: "Leader, there is nothing to do right now, we and Yan can be busy."

Sang Yu shook his head and said: "Of course not, there are still many things to do in the future, including rebuilding houses and warehouses, etc., but for now, let's do this for now. You and Yan will finish building the kiln and continue to make stone tools. More tools are needed."

The two took orders, and Sang Yu emphasized: "In the tribe, including burning kilns and digging traps to raise silkworms, they are all secrets of the tribe. It is not allowed to tell other tribes. Those who do not abide by the rules of the tribe may not just be expelled. Horde is that simple."

Gao Wenyan shouted from the side: "Leader, don't worry, whoever dares to tell the secrets of the tribe, we will beat him to death."

Sang Yu didn't say yes or no, but had a serious expression on his face, so that everyone dared not give birth to disobedience.

"Here at the neighborhood committee, the weather is getting warmer and kinder. Besides taking good care of the wounded and children and cooking, you should also pay attention to cleaning the surrounding houses, keeping them clean and tidy, and supervising everyone to wash their hair and take a bath. Anyone who doesn't care about hygiene reports me here. Come."

"Ci, arrange for the deaf to go out to cut firewood on time every day, so as to keep firewood in the tribe."

"And Xiang, I arranged for you to be in the neighborhood committee before. But now I have a new position for you, which is to study medicine and become a doctor of the tribe!"

Xiang is a relatively gentle one among the primitive women in the tribe.

But such a woman who is soft on the outside and tough on the inside can heal her left hand under the conditions of Houshan, and she also helped the three Daxue sisters a lot.

Under the condition of having certain survival skills, she also followed the witches of the old tribe, and she also has some medical talents. The tribe is short of a doctor.

Even if Sang Yu is a modern person from the new century, she doesn't know anything about medicine. Even the herbal medicine used to stop bleeding is a memory preserved from her childhood life experience. Really rare talent.

When Xiang heard the leader's arrangement, she said in disbelief, "I...can I do it?"

In the past, it was witches who knew some medical principles in the tribe, so Xiang naturally couldn't believe that she could be as powerful as witches.

"You can, believe me, a lot of things need to be explored slowly, as long as you remember the pitfalls you stepped on and the mistakes you made, remember those experiences that have been verified and succeeded, and then apply them to your usual life. In the treatment of diseases, as much as can be cured.”

When Xiang saw what the leader said, Lian Yu also looked at her with bright eyes, gritted his teeth, and hurriedly took over the burden.

Sang Yu said: "There are herbs in the mountains. You can look for them in the nearby places. You followed the witch before and saw some herbs. Find some herbs and bring them back for later use. When you encounter new species, you must show them to me first." .”

"I'll ask Yu to catch a batch of rabbits and mice for you later, and test the medicine for you."

Xiang hurriedly nodded in response.

Sang Yu looked at his watch, it was only eight o'clock in the morning. So he ordered the hunting team to search the previous traps first to see if there were any new prey.

There was a heavy snowfall, and a lot of branches and leaves fell into the trap. The trap had to be cleaned and camouflaged again.

Others also went to work according to her instructions.

Sang Yu took Jiaohe Yan to the previous pottery factory to build a new earthen kiln.

The pots and pans in the tribe need to be spread to everyone and every material, and the water tanks and buckets for their own use are not enough. What's more, if you have the ability to exchange in the future, you won't be able to get anything out.

The previous earthen kiln was only an experimental product with a small capacity, and there was no way to fire pottery like a water tank. Now that the quality of the fired pottery is stable, it is time to build a large kiln for production.

The three Daxue sisters and Hong are already waiting in the shed.

Sang Yu inspected the river, looked at the terrain, and finally chose to build the kiln in the direction west of the shed before.

Each earthen kiln should be about half the size of a small bamboo hut. Too big will consume firewood, and the firepower will not be concentrated.

When the population develops in the future, build a few more brick kilns to burn bricks, and if you can use fire bricks to build houses, it can be said to be the best building material in this era.

Sang Yu told a few people about the idea of ​​the new kiln and asked them to start construction immediately.

Daxue and the others were already very familiar with the old small kiln, and Sang Yu further explained the working principle of the kiln to them, and they understood.

Jiao and Yan are just masons, and the three Daxue sisters will do whatever they are asked to do.

When mixing the mud, Sangyu asked them to cut off some thatch and mix it into the mud to increase the flexibility of the soil.

Jiaoheyan and the others admired Sangyu's insight.

It took several people more than half a month to complete the construction of these large earthen kilns, and the work of pottery was carried out normally.

During this period, Sang Yu discovered that there was a branch of the river downstream, and the water level dropped in winter, exposing dark silt.

Yan and Jiao finished their work, and Sang Yu asked the two of them to pick up mud with branches and willows and pile them into the newly opened fields to increase the fertility of the land.

There is no doubt that the fertility and nutrition of silt are super high, but it cannot be directly applied to the land. The mixing ratio can only be half or less at most. If this ratio is exceeded, it will easily harden, resulting in poor water permeability and air permeability of the soil, causing plant roots to rot.

Crush it after being exposed to the sun, mix it with the soil on the plain, pine needle soil, decayed leaves, and coarse river sand by the river to increase water permeability and then mix it into the ground, so that it can be planted.

Carrying is also a physical labor. In the past, the transportation was carried on the back, and the mud was not easy to carry, so it was changed to pick.

Big bamboo can be split with a stone axe and ground into a pole.

The rattan baskets are tied with ropes, and the bottom of the baskets are covered with large leaves of plants, and then the mud is put into the rattan baskets, and then they are jumped into the ground one by one.

In the soil, the plant ash burned during the land reclamation last year was mixed with the improved silt soil, and the fertility of the land has been greatly improved.

Soon, with the sound of spring thunder, at the time of waking up, everything recovered, and the temperature also rose.

Sang Yu began to arrange cassava planting.
