I'm doing shopping in the original

Amber gave Uro a vacation, and Uro gave himself a vacation.

He needs a certain amount of time to sort out how he wants to do this lead. Public ownership is not a bad thing. He doesn’t study history, so he can’t guide the tribe to which part to go. After so many days of observation, he finally had to learn from tools and The system starts.

Once the tools are sufficient, a lot of manpower can be saved to do other things.

And once the concept of privateness arises, people will start working hard.

And Amber was still throwing herself on the ground looking at those tools. She looked at hammers, scrapers, chisels, saw blades and other items, and a look of horror suddenly appeared on her face. These things are not big, they are all household types, but very Sharp, the sharpness that Amber has never seen before.She hurriedly packed up these things and packed them in the car, looking at the empty doorway with an unpredictable expression, until Hua behind her timidly asked: "Boss, what's wrong?"

"The witch gave you these things?" Amber asked back.

Brother Xiaoku blinked, puzzled and said, "It's Yan."

Amber was silent for a moment, she thought about it seriously, and then said, "Then do you know how to do this?"

Everyone shook their heads unanimously, but Brother Xiaoku finished shaking his head, and said quickly: "I probably know, but I can't do it so well, but I can do it very close. The witch taught me to use fire to make it bigger." fire."

The previous copper plate was used by Yan to kill people.

Amber blinked her eyes, she thought for a moment, and then made a decision: "Xiao Ku, don't worry about the car, and make copper first."

"Ah——" Brother Xiaoku's voice dropped immediately. He had just encountered such a tool, and he was a little bit aggrieved for a while. He looked at these new tools reluctantly, but he didn't dare to violate Amber's order, so he was honest. Really bowed his head and went out, turning his head three times a step, wishing to sing a song of eighteen to see him off.

The matter of the tools was put on hold like this, and it became a secret that was tacitly shared by everyone. Afterwards, Amber gave Uro a lot of ore, but the other party did not mention the intention of taking back the tools.It was only then that Amber realized that their house was too small, so small that it was completely insufficient, whether it was for storage or other things.

Hu Po broke off the copper piece. Of course, this piece of copper cannot be compared with the saw blade. It is neither so thin nor so beautiful.

Uro, who didn't know when he arrived, introduced to her: "Do you know what its advantages are over stones?"

"Where is it?" Amber asked.

"The reason is that it can change into any shape, but the stone cannot." Ulo took the piece of copper from Hu Po's hand, and he motioned, "Come with me."

The pottery workshop is still the same as before, and Brother Xiaoku has already made the molds for the knife and saw blade. He has a heavy burden on his shoulders. Heitao only needs to pay attention to the firewood and the fire when the furnace is finally extinguished. It is not too technical. Difficult, he just took care of a few children together, while taking care of his own special stove - this stove was made by Yan and Wu Luo in the experiment, but he didn't expect it to not be dismantled.

"How's it going?"

Brother Xiaoku has secretly studied for a long time, otherwise he would not be able to knock out this natural piece of copper. He rubbed his shoulders, and seeing the leader and Uro come back, he said honestly: "I just started today, what I did before There is a finished product, but the charcoal is almost gone, so I have to burn some more."

Wu Luo glanced at the mold of the knife, smiled secretly, and Yan still helped.

During this period of time, Wu Luo didn't really want to be so drunk and live a life of retirement. He went to read the book on purpose, and sat down with him to help smelt copper water.This stove has not been modified. Of course, we can’t just let the copper water flow out as we did at the beginning. We can only continue to use clay pots to load the powder from the ore grinding. Seeing him looking at the powder, Xiaoku brother hurriedly said: “The saw is easy to use. , Grinding stones is very fast. In the past, it took three suns to get so much, but it is enough to grind it until it gets dark."

Amber was stunned, her voice trembling: "What did you say? It used to require three suns, but now one is dark."

"Yes."

A modern kitchen knife is probably sharper than a famous ancient sword, and the technology of iron smelting has been developing all the time. Wu Luo gave Amber a preventive shot in advance: "But this one is not as sharp as a saw, only sharper than a stone. much better."

The cost of iron is too high, and it is inconvenient to make. Copper is relatively more popular. As long as the ratio of copper to tin is well grasped, success can be achieved.

Hu Po has seen that rough piece of copper before. It is indeed more convenient, but it is not irreplaceable. From the appearance, it is just a slightly less bulky stone piece. It is more than sharp, but not hard enough. She was twisted into other shapes by hand, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Now that she knew that the stone could make such a thing, her heart became hot all of a sudden.

Even Wuluo's cold water didn't splash her out.

"It was done before."

Brother Xiaoku watched helplessly as Wu Luo threw the piece of natural copper into the slowly melting copper water. After the job of adding charcoal was taken away, he had no choice but to show Hu Po the first knife he made.It's not that Brother Xiaoku didn't want to take out the knife right away, but that he was actually polishing it slowly. The knife that was just fired still had charcoal dust, and there were very obvious mold fragments on it. , he can only polish off the foreign objects that have escaped the mold on the stone.

According to Yan, the sharper it is, the better, preferably as sharp as a scraper.

In fact, even the current pocket knife is still only a semi-finished product.

"This is what you made." Amber took the copper knife, and the edge had been polished very sharp by Brother Cool. She could feel the danger when she touched it with her fingertips. It was shiny, and only a few The place was dusty and very beautiful to look at, covered with white gold in the sun.

Brother Xiao Ku puffed his face and thought for a while, then he shook his head and said, "That's not counting, Yan helped a lot, I just watched from the side, helped give charcoal, helped pinch this...well, the mold, and then helped him chop it. Crack the wood, take the stuff out and pour it on the mould, and there's nothing more to do."

You've done all the work, what else do you need him to do.

The corners of Wu Luo's mouth twitched slightly. Copper smelting originally only needed to do these tasks.

Amber didn't take it seriously, and just asked him: "Then will you do it?"

"Yes." Brother Xiaoku nodded. He quickly scratched his head and said, "Actually, it doesn't look difficult. It's the same as making pottery, but it's very hot, too hot."

However, Wu Luo was a little surprised that Yan would help. He thought that the other party was going to stand by and watch until the end, but he didn't expect to be so enthusiastic.

The small copper knife is obviously much thicker than the thin slice, unlike the previous thin slice that can be snapped in half with a lot of force. Amber tried it with her sackcloth, but it was cut right away. He showed joy on the table, subconsciously looked up at Wu Luo and said, "Is that the copper you mentioned?"

She suddenly understood the advantages of what Uro said.

"Yes. But this is just a very simple copper. It is very convenient for you to cut meat and fruit. But if you want to use it to cut trees, you have to make it bigger. Unfortunately, it is too soft and it is easy to crack. , but it’s not impossible to use it, it depends on what you think.”

Amber's mind turned quickly, and she asked, "Then what you said... that... um, where is the iron?"

"You can't do that." Uro replied, "It's more difficult than making copper, more stone, more fire, more troublesome, and it may not be like copper."

Indeed, Xiaoku asked her for a lot of stones to make only such a small knife, which seems really troublesome.

Amber looked at Brother Xiaoku again, she pursed her lips, and said slowly: "Then Xiaoku, you sit here and continue working, I have something to say to Wu."

Ok?

Uro looked at Amber thoughtfully, he stood up docilely, and gave up his seat to Xiaoku, while he followed Amber and walked all the way to her room.

The room was very dark. Although it was still daytime, the light became much worse once we entered the room. Fortunately, the door was open and a little light leaked in. It looked like two worlds.

"What you've been telling me all of the time, didn't come out of nowhere." Hu Po knelt down to boil water. She was influenced by Wu Luo and Yan Qian and became interested in drinking tea. When others came in, she couldn't help but want to buy him a sip The water, the red firelight reflected on Amber's face, her voice was very soft, "I feel it."

Uro smiled. There was no such thing as a bench in Hu Po's room, but there were a lot of odds and ends. He simply sat on a piece of animal skin, anyway, that's how Hu Po and the others work on weekdays.

"Amber, when you let me rest, I kept thinking about one thing. In fact, you don't know what the goal is. It's just because you don't know enough, but I know too much, so we Neither of them knew what to do next, as if everyone had enough to eat."

Amber responded: "Everyone can survive, it's good, and now, you will follow Yan when you get sick."

"So." Uro asked quietly, as if asking himself, "What's next?"

Amber didn't know how to answer this question for a while. She had worked so hard to survive, and she had never thought about such a long-term thing. What will happen next? She subconsciously felt that what she said was not correct, but she still put her own Cognition said: "Everyone farms, raises animals, and then hunts and gathers when they are free, so they can live well."

Uro couldn't help laughing, he asked Amber very calmly: "Then... it seems that Yu and Chen want to eat honey?"

This made Amber feel very embarrassed, she said: "But you said, don't touch bees."

Although Uro is a man, in fact, he doesn't want the tribe to follow the trend of history, after the development of productivity, it will be completely biased towards men, and women will become one of the resources, and their status will be completely reduced.In fact, it can be seen from the farm work that men have more advantages than women. The tribe is now dominated by women, but once the status is changed, it will become like a mountain tribe.

He has been thinking about how to develop the future, but he has never thought of a good way.

Different countries have different governance methods, but in the final analysis, most of the civilizations that have reached the end maintain an at least superficial balance, and Uro has to find this balance point.

Although winter has just passed, they still have food left. Adding the fish in the river and the animals in the small traps, including raised animals, after the spring rains pass, the tribe will have more food.

"I also said that I have honey, just like those tools. I want you to exchange it with other food, are you willing?"

"Yeah." Amber nodded.

Wu Luo said again: "But have you ever thought that it is indeed a small thing that you are willing to exchange honey for Yu and Chen, but once other people want to exchange, the two children are not many, but all of them will fall into it." Do you want to change? If everyone wants to eat honey, it’s fine, but some people may not want to eat honey, but some people want to eat, or some people want to eat something else. If you don’t change, then you are partial to Yu and Chen.”

Amber was left speechless by the words, she blinked her eyes, she didn't expect that after the food source was stabilized, there would be so many twists and turns, so she said dryly: "Then I won't change it."

"If you don't change." Uro paused, and he said calmly, "There is so much food, it doesn't matter if you change it to something else, isn't it?"

Amber understands quickly, but thinks very shallowly. Once life is stabilized and food has a source, everyone will look for better food and more comfortable clothes. This is the inherent nature of human beings.

Hunting is dangerous, and gathering depends on the right time and place, so people start farming and animal husbandry, turning instability into stability, and then pursue a better life. Stability is just a springboard.

But Amber wants to maintain this kind of stability forever, which is simply impossible.

Especially long-term public ownership, coupled with enough food, will make many people lazy. History has given enough lessons to mankind.

For a long time, Uro hesitated in which direction the tribe should go. After all, he did not want his decision to eventually lead to the destruction of the tribe. However, he could not predict the future, he could only grasp the present down to change.

"You said you want to reward them." Amber paused, she seemed to grasp something, and said slowly, "It's not just as simple as rewards, there's also food... It's the things you said that have something to do with it."

There is also an advantage of having fewer people, that is, relatively few resources are consumed. With their current territory and Yan's, they can live a long-term retirement life, but they can't just stop there.

"Do you think they changed when we wanted to reward everyone?" Uro sighed, "They became very enthusiastic, active, and serious about their work, but it didn't take long for them to lose their attitude. Yes or no."

After all, the top few are always those few people, and the competition is always a fixed number of places, and everyone will give up.

The men are okay, the number is scarce and the sense of competition is strong, and the women are obviously relaxed after a while of tension, and they don't have much reaction to this kind of thing.

"Yeah." Amber already understood it completely, she took out two fruits from the basket on the bed, she said quietly, "I remember what you told me, if we work together, the fruits we pick belong to everyone , I think it’s enough to pick them all, but if it’s my own, I’ll try my best to pick it.”

Wuluo smiled, he took a fruit in Amber's hand into his own hand, and handed a bowl of water to Amber, and said softly: "If you really want to drink water but don't want to eat peaches, you can put your Give me your peaches, and I'll give you my water."

The deals were mostly on a tribal level, while Uro wanted to speak on a personal level.

In fact, Uro does not fully agree with the implementation of private ownership at this time. This kind of private ownership must also be balanced by public ownership, otherwise technicians like Xiaoku will easily starve to death. The concept he really wants Amber to understand is from the collective become small groups.

The tribe has begun to bloat, and if the families are not separated, both marriage and offspring will appear very chaotic.

After all, Amber's request for the pairing marriage of everyone is actually not restricting much in essence. They need a closer connection.

"how do you want to do it."

The bronze that Amber will take away—looking at the current color, it is more appropriate to call it a golden copper knife. She uses the knife to cut open the fruit in her hand. These two fruits are not small in size. She hands half of it to Uro, the leader. Always privileged, but usually Amber doesn't eat much food on her own, she just thinks Uro needs a little gift.

The knife was used very quickly, much faster than the stone, which made Amber feel another degree of surprise.

"It's time for us to build a house." Uro sighed softly, "People who plan to have children live together, if there are children born around, live with them, and those who grow up live together You can live in a room by yourself, or you can live together.”

Amber asked him, "Just like you and Yan?"

"Just like me and Yan."

Amber was bewitched. For a while, she felt that his idea was very good, but for a while she felt a little unacceptable. She really thought in her heart that everyone should have their own house, so that it would be more convenient to store things in this way. In essence, she still followed the She followed the ancient rules, but in a certain aspect, she was incited again, so she said dryly, "I'll think about it again."

"That's right." Uro said softly, "If you need advice, this knife can be exchanged at this year's market."

He was silent for a moment: "It should be possible to exchange a lot of things."

I didn’t see any copper and iron wares last year. Either those tribes haven’t found the ore, or they have found it and haven’t realized how to make copper wares, or the heat is not enough to control the proportion.Even if it is really burned, the utensils made of pure copper are close to red. Although their tribe does not use divination to win people's hearts-mainly because Uro really doesn't like this, but other tribes may not.

"Switch out?" Amber asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Uro dismissed it, "You can get more if you trade it out, and if you want, you can ask Xiaoku to make another one. In fact, he can make another one for you today, but it just takes time to polish. "

The grinding time is longer.

Amber hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll think about it."

When Wu Luo walked out, Yan Zheng was standing at the door waiting for him. Seeing him coming out, he reached out to hold hands very naturally. The two big men did not look good doing this, so Wu Luo subconsciously avoided it. It's a pity that in terms of force, Yan will probably be at the top of the family for the next few decades, and resistance is futile, so he can only be caged in the palm of his hand.

"I thought you weren't going to talk about these things for a while."

Uro laughed softly: "Do I look like such a dull person? But there are only about a hundred people, and it is not difficult to manage at all. I am just worried about the future, so I leave time to Amber to decide. Now I've said what I think, let's see her."

"Yeah." Yan rubbed his fingers, and announced another thing, "Hua and Long gave up Xiaoku's practice and made wheels out of solid wood. Although they are bulky, they are strong enough and finally made a car. coming."

The two of them consciously walked to the side while talking. The car was newly built, with only one wheel, and it was connected to the box with wood. It looked weird, and it was only roughly similar to the unicycles of later generations. It's hard to believe that something that looks like an old thing can actually work, the bark on the surface has been peeled off, Yan slowly said: "It's just about to be the exchange day, let Amber go to change some paint, otherwise this wood will be very expensive. It's easy to rot."

The wooden box is very strong, even though it looks messy, the children do not seem to shake at all when squatting in it, and Hua and Long are changing hands, and the two are as excited as penguins raising cubs , shaking this simple wheelbarrow.

This kind of wheel is indeed no problem to use, but... it must not be used for too long.

But once anything is invented, there will be a steady stream of improved versions afterwards. Nothing is fixed from the beginning. The two of them can make a small car, which has already surprised Uro.

After all, the sled car only provided an appearance, how to add wheels, how to put them forward and backward, and how not to stumble, were all things they thought about later.

"It seems that when we go to the market this time, everyone doesn't need to carry big bags on their backs."

Wu Luo looked at Hua and Long who were completely immersed in joy, and a faint smile appeared on his face. This was too insignificant for him, but it was a great event for the tribe. But now everyone is busy, no one came to see it for a while, only a few children climbed up and down, touching the wheels curiously.

It so happened that the little monster was also there. He was carrying a big basket with stones still inside. He came late these days, just in time for Hua and Long. Small children huddled together.

He didn't change his color, but smiled shyly and docilely.

"What do you think Amber will do in the end?" Uro asked.

Yan seemed to want to laugh, but finally said flatly: "We can make a bet, I bet she will agree to you."

"Why should I bet on myself to lose?"

"If you were confident enough, you wouldn't have asked that sentence just now. The question from yourself is powerful enough."

Uro sighed and said, "Okay, if I lose, I'll give the little monster a clay pot, thank him for the stones he sent - and the mine that was mined naturally."

Before, Wu Luo and Yan noticed that the copper mines in the stones sent by the little monster had obviously increased, so they became suspicious, so they made a special trip, and found that the mine that was split by the meteor had collapsed a lot, and the ground was left behind. There were a lot of ores and ordinary stones—probably because the snow turned into water in winter, and the cracks were frozen, and the stones were cracked due to thermal expansion and contraction.

This news also informed Amber, but these ores are not what they urgently need, at least not the necessities that require everyone in the tribe to put down their work to pick them up, not to mention that the bottom of the mine is dangerous, so they can be left to the little monsters to pick it up slowly.

Yan Heng laughed and said nothing.
