Chapter 404: The Primitive Age Old Wizard (11)(1/2)
Chapter 404 of the text of the strategy for retirement in the primitive era: The old wizard of the primitive era ended with the end of autumn, and the weather soon became cold. On the third day after the hunting ended, the first heavy snow that had been long-awaited slowly fell.
Although Yan and the others still don’t know the season.
But past experience is still useful.
Even if there is an occasional error of three or two days, it is within the allowable range and does not have much impact.
This is the experience summarized by many generations.
Over time, these experiences will become more and more accurate, and eventually form a certain division of seasons and solar terms, and combine the most primitive Xia calendar or primitive lunar calendar of this era.
Civilization since ancient times.
If it's not a cheat.
Then it shouldn't be achieved overnight.
Many times, it is not accurate to blame a person for a certain invention.
The so-called Shennong grows grains.
In fact, the five types of grains were probably planted and improved in the tribe where Shennong was located a long time ago. It was only in the Shennong generation that the grains made some breakthrough progress.
For example, increase yield and improve taste.
The same is true for the Lunar New Year calendar.
The creation of almanacs has always required several generations, or even dozens of generations, to lay the foundation. We cannot deny their achievements just because these people did not make the almanacs finally come to the book. Without the accumulation of these people, no matter how smart a person is, he cannot rely on the power of a generation to compile the almanacs from scratch.
For example, Huangdi is even more ridiculous.
In order to praise him, later generations blamed him alone for his achievements.
If those creations were really created by him alone, then no one would believe that he was not a time traveler or that he had no cheating.
Say too much...
When the first snow fell since winter began.
This means that their Huoyuan tribe can follow the past practice and start to spend the winter. However, Qiao Mu did not follow the past practice and let the tribe members stay in the cave to preserve their physical strength and reduce food loss. Instead, they still assigned various tasks to them through the flames every day.
In the past, the main reason why people were wintered was that they did not eat enough food, and they had to reduce their food loss by reducing their activities.
Of course, there is no work to do in winter, but the reason why there is no work to do in winter is far less important than the reason why there is insufficient food.
The core is that there is not enough food.
If they had enough food, even if they had nothing to do, they could go out to chop some firewood, build snowmen, play with snow, and make trouble for the people around them.
But it doesn't matter this year.
Because there is enough food stored this year.
Besides, Qiao Mu still has a lot of things to do, so how can he just be like this? Therefore, even if winter comes this time, no one in the tribe has a rest time, and he still needs to follow the command of the leader to do various things every day.
However, no one complained.
Because everyone can eat enough now.
For those who often have hunger and full meals, and even need to be hungry all the time in winter, being able to eat every day is the greatest happiness.
As for work, it doesn't matter.
As long as you can eat enough, you can do as much work as you work.
Food is the most important thing for people, and this is generally the case.
However, everyone still has some opinions on the division of tasks for each person in the tribe.
The other divisions of labor are almost the same.
The only thing that is enviable is the fire kiln.
That is, it's burning.
Because it was cold at this time, and the flames on the fire kiln were endless all year round, working there was much warmer than staying by a bonfire. In the eyes of many tribes, this job is naturally better and more comfortable.
After Qiao Mu discovered this situation.
In order to avoid the expansion of internal contradictions.
So the original fixed division of labor was changed to take turns and everyone took turns to burn the fire. In this way, the original dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.
Everyone continued to work hard.
And look forward to the day when I burn the fire.
This winter lasted for four months.
After four months of winter, Qiaomu and his tribe were busy for four months. During these four months, they weave all the thick threads prepared in the past into cloth, make all the starch trees into starch, and also fired a large number of pottery and countless bricks.
Even in the end, because the weather was too cold and there was no way to continue making brick and stone embryos, Qiao Mu did not forget to squeeze out some time to provide basic common sense popularization, basic literacy, literacy and corresponding calculation education for those who were idle.
In short, everyone has gained a lot.
Whether materially or spiritually.
When the snow begins to melt, the trees begin to sprout and spring officially arrives.
Qiaomu still didn't let everyone stop.
Anyway, the food stored last fall had not been eaten, so there was no need to worry for the time being. Therefore, Qiaomu continued to suppress the idea of going out to hunt and began to mobilize everyone in the tribe to build collective houses, build fences for raising small docile beasts, and level the surrounding fertile land and dig collective pits.
More than 300 people, from the age of 40 to the age of 3 or 5, no one is lazy, no one is doing nothing, everyone is busy building.
Of course, although everyone did not object at the beginning, they were indeed full of doubts. They didn’t know why they built a house when they lived in a good cave?
But when the first house is built.
When they entered the house and felt the light and comfort in the house that was completely different from the cave, no one was confused anymore.
People like to enjoy it.
Even primitive people do not mean that they are hardworking. Their hard work is only due to helplessness and survival, and they can only work hard.
If there is better food.
Have a more comfortable room.
Have a easier life.
They are naturally willing.
There is no need to question this at all.
Out of yearning for bright and comfortable rooms.
The construction progress, which was originally slightly dragged, suddenly seemed to be on the wind and could not stop at all.
However, no matter how hard they try, their speed is still limited. In addition, there are not many original adhesives that require building houses while making adhesives, so the speed is inevitably slowed down a lot, and food is constantly consumed. After half a month, the food reserve has reached the red critical point, and Qiaomu has to liberate most people and let them hunt and pick them.
As there are fewer people, the speed will naturally be slower.
In the end, even the work had to be stopped.
Because they have more important things to do.
Compared to building houses to replace caves, it is obviously more important to sow in spring, which is related to the food in winter and everyone's confidence in planting. Therefore, in the next half of the spring, Qiaomu led the remaining people in the tribe to sow the crop seeds improved by her plant supernatural powers, and also raised small wild animals brought back by the hunting team.
Over the past period of time, you should no longer need dozens of people to kill a prey like in the past. Now, three or five people, or even seven or eight people, are enough to kill some ordinary beasts. In this way, it is a waste to go out to hunt together every time.
It is possible to have more than a dozen people in a group, and two groups are released at a time. The remaining people stay to farm, or do other things, and take turns to hunt.
It can guarantee your force.
It can also save a lot of labor to do work."
Although Qiao Mu really wants everyone to plant and breed with her, she also knows the disadvantages of planting and breeding, and is even more aware that once they give up hunting for a long time, the military power of the entire tribe will drop sharply, which is obviously not conducive to the growth and survival of the tribe.
Tribe hunting is not only for hunting prey, but also for protecting tribes and protecting tribes from attacks and invasions by other tribes.
The hunting teams in a tribe are like the army of a country. Some of the army can be disbanded, but they must not be disbanded. However, development cannot be separated from manpower. Therefore, taking turns to train, the whole people are soldiers, fighting in wartime, and farming in peacetime is the best choice and the best development direction.
Of course, this is because there are few people.
If there are too many people, there is no need for this.
"Ten years ago, if it weren't for the drought ten years ago, our tribe wouldn't have been left with only such people. At that time, we walked east and migrated here. Others who walked west, north and south had found habitats."
Because Qiao Mu mentioned ten years ago, Yan couldn't help but suddenly recall that their Huoyuan tribe was not a native tribe here.
It was migrated ten years ago.
Ten years ago, there was a severe drought in the area where they were originally staying, and there was a severe drought that had never happened before. The rivers they depended on for their living were exhausted, and the surrounding vegetation was almost dead. They could only make a living by eating tree bark and grass roots. Some tribes even became human-cannibal tribes.
At that time, there were nearly 10,000 people in the Huoyuan tribe.
However, during disaster periods, the more people there are, the harder it is to survive. If there are only three or five people, then if you find a spring, three or five people may be able to survive by relying on that small spring. However, nearly ten thousand people are not a small stream or a spring that can be raised. In the end, in order to survive, they can only split the original tribe.
At that time, there was a temple of witches in their tribe.
There are nine wizards in the Witch Temple.
If a tribe wants to survive, it is necessary to help the wizards. Therefore, they eventually split the tribe into nine branches, led by nine wizards, and each dispersed to the ten directions of heaven and earth.
