From Chief to Ball

The red fish rested on Chen Jian's arm, half-supported his body, gently stirred the man's neck with his sweaty hair, and said lazily: "It may be good to be a windmill around you safely." .That way I don’t have to weave or spin flax for food, maybe when you die, our children will become leaders and never forget my mother. But I don’t like it.”

"why?"

"Just like now. I can rely on my hands to feed myself. I can't starve to death. Spring is here. If I want to sleep, I will sleep with you. It's not because I slept with you that I can't starve to death. It's like a sheep in captivity. Same."

She stretched her waist, rubbed her somewhat sore body, put on her clothes, pointed to her bruised knee and said, "This is what you did, so you have to carry me back, I'm not begging you."

When she leaned on the man's back, she finally uttered her first words of love.

"Go slowly and carry me on your back for a while longer."

Chapter 69 Chief

The relationship between two people is the same as that of most tribesmen. When you want to go to each other, you can agree with each other according to your mood and physical condition.

For Chen Jian, who was familiar with the marriage system in his previous life, he felt that he was not very used to it, but he gradually accepted it. After all, marriage is not a one-step process, it needs a long process.

The orchid grass and civet cats simply like each other, which is a special case.The real foundation of the vast majority of marriages is the private system and property issues. Before these two things are popularized, monogamous marriage can only be a model.

On the fourth day when Chen Jian bid farewell to keeping his sanity with his hands, a tribe member who had stayed in the Eyue tribe to take care of the wounded was riding a horned deer and brought back a message.

The people of the Eyue tribe were carrying gifts, and they were not far downstream of the Caohe River, and they could arrive in two days at most.He not only came to report the letter, but also served as a dialect interpreter for the transaction between the two parties, but his level was limited, and he could only understand the general idea.

After getting this news, the leaders of the fourteen tribes came to Chen Jian to discuss it together. This is a big event, and each tribe wants to exchange something, which requires coordination.

Now the highest administrative authority of the tribe is the tribal council, and Chen Jian's status is equivalent to that of the head of the government and the military leader.

To put it simply, the tribal council can represent the tribe, which is equivalent to Lin Sen, the head of the Republic of China in the previous life: he was the one who signed the declaration of war on Japan when the capital was moved to Chongqing and there was no way to retreat, and Chang Kaishen was not qualified; The head of state of the USSR at the time was Kalinin, not Beard.

It is one thing to have power, and another thing to have power justifiably, so Chen Jian is only one of the fifteen members of the council until now, and he is equal to the leaders in name.

In the tribal council hall of the city, there are [-] tribes, [-] leaders with the right to discuss matters, and some major figures of the tribes.

The fifteen chiefs quarreled from early morning to noon, and didn't even bother to eat lunch.

People from various tribes didn't know what was arguing inside, and felt a little strange. From the establishment of the council to the present, there has never been such a fierce quarrel.

The reason for the quarrel is simple.

Originally, it was just a discussion about exchange, but the rest of the tribes found that the items exchanged basically belonged to Chen Jian's four tribes.Most of the items exchanged are not available to other tribes, but some tribes have to share the amount equally among more than a dozen tribes.

They originally only hoped that Yuqian'er would tilt a part of the quota to their tribe when calculating the quantity.

This was just the beginning, and there was not much quarrel, but Chen Jian's subsequent words caused this disturbance.

He can make the four tribes in his hands give up the exchange items that the rest of the tribes can take out, but the price is that from the time when the Eyue tribe and others come to trade, until it snows, within half a year, he will have the same level as a military leader. The right to become, or become the leader of the council, to coordinate and arrange the affairs of the fourteen tribes and the entire city in an all-round way.

Although the previous behaviors were basically like this, when Chen Jian explicitly asked for this right to be engraved on the ceramic board, he immediately received fierce opposition.

"Jian, it's not that we don't believe in you. You've done a good job. Without you, we might still be starving in the mountains and forests. We are very grateful to you and your tribe. But... but there has never been such a thing, even if It was me, and it was also elected by the clansmen."

"Yes, you said that you want to be the leader of the council, and we have no objection, but you said that you should have the same rights as military leaders, so how can it be done? Besides, there are already rules, the rules are the biggest, and there is no need for a leader .”

"Just like opening up land, you will definitely help your tribe occupy the best land. Look around, the land closest to the city belongs to your tribe."

Several leaders objected subconsciously. They did not disagree with Chen Jian being the leader of the council on behalf of the entire city, but they objected that the leader of the council had the same rights as the military leader.

The three tribes whose interests were tied to Chen Jian's tribe supported Chen Jian. After hearing this, Shi Shi patted the board and questioned: "Even wolf cubs know that elm money is fed to them, so I never dare Yelling at Yuqian, are you worse than wolf cubs? If it weren’t for Jian, do you know how to grow wheat beans? This land is also reclaimed by us, and you didn’t agree to it when we asked you to reclaim it.”

"That's right, we've been watching everything Jian did. It made the tribes better and better, and didn't make the tribes suffer. Don't forget, Jian is a person who has been guided by his ancestors!"

Thinking of the stories of their ancestors, those tribes were a little scared, but they were still unwilling to give up the interests of the tribe.

Now is not the past, everyone knows that the wheat beans will be harvested soon, and those heavy wheat ears and pods let them know how important the coming year is.

Land... Which tribe reclaims more land, which tribe will be able to support more people in the future, provide more off-the-job soldiers, distribute more trophies and slaves, and more slaves can dig more land. The land, so circular.

Now the nearest land around the city is occupied by these four tribes. If Chen Jian becomes the leader of the council, what if he asks his tribe to reclaim the distant land while Chen Jian's tribe reclaims the nearest land?

After a moment of silence, a leader said: "Jian, since you have made a rule, why not make another rule today, that is, how to divide the land in the future? The land in the past was just land, far less important than a fish or a piece of wood." , but it’s different now.”

Immediately, the tribal leaders who supported Chen Jian objected: "The land was nothing a few months ago, but you know something will appear after a few months? The original wind can only blow the blades of grass, but now But it drove the windmill. Our tribe supports Jian, and he will take us farther."

"It's not that we don't trust Jian, but this kind of thing has never happened..."

The noise became chaotic again. Chen Jian looked at the current situation with a frown, remembering the tribes who opposed him the most.

Now the struggle for power has just begun, and there are many ways to deal with these tribes in the future, such as sending their tribesmen to the most intense places during wars.

But not now.

Today's city does not belong to his tribe, because his basic base is too small, only a few hundred people, and he can only accept them if he wants to develop rapidly.Hundreds of people rule thousands of people, so there is no need to think about expanding, just stay at home all day to prevent slaves from rebelling.

Now a powerful tribe is in the lower reaches of the Caohe River. For the time being, the other party doesn't want to fight with his tribe, but it's just because of balance, not that he and E Yue are kind and good people.

Apart from the land, there are too many things to consider, and this way of wrangling cannot make the city develop at full speed.If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity but makes a natural transition, it will take at least ten or eight years, and he can't afford to wait.

After observing it, in addition to the three tribes that are tied to their own tribe's interests, there are two tribes that support him out of trust, but the remaining eight tribes are still opposed.

Benefits can destroy most of the trust, and he is already very satisfied to have the two tribes support him out of trust in half a year.

In the long run, since we don't want to play religious dictatorship as the apocalypse, we can only accept the current transitional stage, gradually transitioning from the council to the chieftainship stage.

Looking at the tribes that were still arguing, they knocked heavily, and the leaders calmed down.

"Land, since we are talking about land, look outside! When the wheat is about to ripen, you frantically reclaim the land close to the cities. Some land is so narrow that even geese with clipped wings can fly over it. What's the use? I suggest you set aside some roads and try to make the ditches and ridges of the land face one direction, have you listened? You say this is a matter within your tribe, and I can't control it."

"Now is a good time. There is plenty of rain. What about drought in the future? How to water such land? In the future, we may need to build canals. Some remote land may belong to a certain tribe, not yours. You will be willing to go out Repair those ditches?"

"I'm not for the land, but for the city. At least on the land, it's not an internal matter of each tribe. Think about it, since I led everyone to build a city, is there any unfair treatment? Besides I just wait until it snows, and if you are dissatisfied at that time, you can completely return to the present."

He purposely said that he was a little annoyed. In the midst of power, real anger is ridiculous.From laughing to crying, all expressions are to express an attitude, not a real emotional expression.

After some words, the two originally opposing tribes lowered their heads and pondered, but Chen Jian still didn't dare to vote now. In case of failure, the otherwise proposed proposal would not be put forward again until two months later.

In order to express his dissatisfaction, he waved his hand and said: "Everyone, go back and think about it, eat!"

Before those people could react, Chen Jian deliberately snorted, and led his clansmen out of the meeting hall.

In the afternoon there was still a tough war of words. If he only wanted to be the leader of Xiaofang, he could lead his troops to capture all the tribes that disagreed with him as slaves.But if you want to expand quickly, you can only accept the integration of these tribes into the system.

After leaving the hall, Chen Jian called Yu Qian'er aside.

"Go to the tribe over there and meet their leader."

Yuqian'er has been in charge of the Fangshi, which has just taken shape, and when he heard Chen Jian's words, he guessed what his brother meant.

So she asked bluntly: "How to change?"
