Experience can best unleash a person's potential and stimulate a person's maturity.
In just a short period of more than ten days, the steep mountain has obviously become calmer, and the greenness between the brows is no longer there.
Upon hearing Zhang Ke's inquiry, Shan Qiao calmly raised his hand and bowed.
"Bushi, I have some immature thoughts on this point."
"Oh? Tell me!"
"I think the current tribal rules are not very good and will not be beneficial to the future development of the tribe."
When Hong Can heard Shan Qiao's words, his face immediately darkened.
He is the leader of the tribe, and when Shan Qiao said this, he was clearly accusing him of having problems with the strategies he implemented.
Fire Snake saw Red Silkworm's displeasure and immediately retorted:
"Shan Qiao, the current rules of the tribe have been passed down from generation to generation and have lasted for hundreds of years. How could there be any mistakes?"
Huo Snake's tone was not very good. In her opinion, Shan Qiao was just a child. Although he was a little smart, he was valued more because he was loved by layman Ruyi.
Shan Qiao heard the disdain in Fire Snake's tone. He did not argue with him, but said slowly:
"Aunt Snake also said that this is a rule set by the tribe hundreds of years ago, but how many people were there when the tribe was first established?
There are now 400,000 people in the tribe, so how can the rules from hundreds of years ago be suitable for today?
For example..."
Shan Qiao pondered for a moment and then said:
“While building houses these days, I found that some tribesmen worked hard while others just wandered around all day long.
She looked like she was working, but she didn't actually do much, but when she ate, she ate as much as everyone else.
In the past few days, some people have been affected by this, and they obviously don’t work as hard as before when doing things.”
A tall but skinny man with a huge frame also said:
"Yes, the situation mentioned by Shan Qiao has also occurred in the team I am responsible for, and it has a tendency to expand."
This person's name is Huan Feng Jiu Shu, he is kind-hearted, extremely powerful, and proficient in the art of controlling people.
He has served in the ‘Phaseless Peak’ for many years, saved hundreds of lives, and has a high prestige among the enslaved humans.
After joining the Xiawan tribe this time, he quickly distinguished himself with his ability and was valued by Red Silkworm and selected as a manager.
After Feng Jiushu spoke, some people successively reported that similar situations had occurred in the team.
Hong Silkworm's face was extremely ugly, and someone had reported this situation to her.
But as a human race, she couldn't use whips to drive people to do things like the 'Heavenly Demon', so she didn't have a good idea.
Zhang Ke looked at the steep mountain with a smile and said:
"Do you have a solution for something like this?"
Shan Qiao hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:
“I think the reason why people don’t do things carefully is because they think it’s not good for themselves.
If this situation can be reversed, it may be possible to change the tribe's thinking.
As for how to achieve this effect, I don’t have a clue yet.”
He had actually had this idea for a long time, and he had also figured out some ways to deal with it.
But this idea is undoubtedly challenging the rules that have lasted for hundreds of years, and it is also shaking the authority of the tribe leader, so he was vague and did not dare to express it directly.
Zhang Ke looked at the steep mountains with interest.
This child is very clever, but because he is too clever, he will always find ways to avoid things that put him in danger.
Smart people are usually like this. The consequence of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is lack of responsibility.
Little do you know how much you will gain when you bear heavy burdens.
Zhang Ke still attaches great importance to the steep mountains, so he does not hesitate to give some advice on them.
"Shan Qiao, where did you get this idea?"
Shan Qiao was silent for a moment and suddenly started telling a story.
"I have a sister named Shui Xiu, and her health is not very good.
When I was little, I would often make birds, butterflies and other things out of thin straw to make my sister happy.
But these things are often snatched away by others because the tribe has a rule.
Everything belongs to the tribe, and private individuals cannot own items.
Because I was often robbed, I later became unwilling to do these things.
But if the things I make belong to me, then I will probably make more objects in the future.
and..."
Shan Qiao turned to look at Hong Silkworm and said softly:
"As far as I know, many people in the tribe have their own items, but no one dares to bring them back to the tribe, so they are all hidden.
Does this mean that tribal people also desire to own personal belongings?"
Shan Qiao spoke clearly through his own personal experience, and Hong Can and others finally understood Shan Qiao's true thoughts.
Red Silkworm stood up suddenly, stared at the mountain with wide eyes and asked:
"Your father died in hunting ten years ago, and your mother also died in childbirth.
The reason why you and your sister are able to survive is because the tribe's belongings are publicly owned.
If the property belonged to individuals, you two brothers and sisters might have starved to death long ago. Now, do you still feel that it is not good for the resources to be shared by the public?"
Shan Qiao refused to give in at this moment and also stood up to confront Hong Silkworm tit for tat.
"I am a member of the tribe, and I will naturally contribute to the tribe when I grow up.
Since my father died hunting for the tribe, the tribe has the responsibility to raise orphans, old and weak women and children to survive.
Otherwise, people who go out to hunt will not try their best.
Public ownership of resources is not bad, but it is no longer suitable for today's tribes.
If things don’t change, there won’t be any hard work done in the future.”
"this……"
Red Silkworm couldn't help being speechless.
She felt that what Shan Qiao said made sense, but she didn't dare to make an easy decision when she was asked to rashly change the rules that had lasted for hundreds of years.
Red Silkworm used to be the head of a clan that managed nearly a thousand people, and he knew that one of his actions could easily lead to an irreversible situation.
And now that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the tribe, she dare not act arbitrarily.
If the mountain is steep, it will also have a big impact on Shi Xiong and others.
Some of them were in favor, some were against, and they started arguing in the cave according to their own ideas.
The opponents are mostly the original managers such as Stone Bear and Fire Snake. They are the most powerful people in the tribe after Red Silkworm. The public items in the tribe are actually allowed to be used by them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As vested interests, they are naturally unwilling to change the rules and want to safeguard their own interests.
Those who agreed were the enslaved people headed by Feng Jiushu.
They have nothing now. If all private things belong to individuals, it will mean an improvement in their lives in the future.
The two sides argued endlessly, and neither could convince the other.
This situation may only occur among such primitive tribes, who will insist on what they think is the right philosophy.
When Zhang Ke first met Red Silkworm, after the tribe members in Xiawan had a dispute, they decided who to listen to based on a joke-like battle.
Even people like Hong Can, who have a lot of prestige among the tribe, will have to die personally.
Shan Qiao turned his head to avoid the glaring eyes of the snake, and respectfully asked Zhang Ke for advice.
"Businessman, you have seen a lot, but I don't know if you can give me some advice."
Zhang Ke smiled "haha", brewed a cup of tea for himself on the stone table, and motioned to Hong Can and others to use it as they pleased.
“What Shan Qiao asks is actually a social issue.
Whether it is public or private, it is just a social system.
When human beings live in groups, conflicts will inevitably arise due to the distribution of resources, so systems will be created."
This issue affects all aspects and cannot be explained clearly in a short while, and Zhang Ke is not prepared to go into details.
After saying something briefly, he continued:
"Actually, the human race in the 'Shanhai Realm' can no longer be regarded as practicing public ownership."
Red Silkworm was slightly startled and asked doubtfully:
"What do you mean by this?"
Zhang Ke took a sip of spiritual tea and continued:
“Do you know what the original public ownership was like?”
Without waiting for Red Silkworm's interface, Zhang Ke said again:
“Human races live in groups, and everything belongs to the commonwealth, including spouses. Everyone only knows his mother but not his father, and there is no fixed belongings that belong to him.
Red Silkworm, can you accept this kind of life now?"
Red Silkworm shook his head and said:
"If you only know your mother and don't know your father, you are just like an animal, and you won't want it."
Zhang Ke nodded and said:
"When a man and a woman form a family, their spouse is actually their own private property. This has broken the cage of public ownership."
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"I think the leader of the Red Silkworm clan doesn't want his husband to be used as a husband by someone else, right?"
Red Silkworm's eyes widened and he shouted:
"He dares!"
"Hahaha~~!"
Hong Silkworm's words made everyone present laugh, and the slightly tense and antagonistic mood eased a lot.
Zhang Ke continued with a smile:
"Shan Qiao, your sister's name is Shui Xiu, do you have a surname and a given name?"
Shan Qiao asked with some confusion and hesitation:
“What are ‘surname’ and ‘name’?”
Zhang Ke said slowly:
“The so-called ‘surname’ refers to the continuation of paternal and maternal blood and race.
In another world where I live, a great ancestor appeared in the primitive period, and his name was Huangdi.
His father Shaodian is the leader of the tribe, and the tribe he belongs to is called "Youxiong clan", where "shi" means clan.
Huangdi was born in Xuanyuan Hill in Jishui, so he was also called Xuanyuan.
When he became the leader of the tribe, he gave himself a separate surname of "Ji". After that, all his descendants had "Ji" as their surname, and their "family" was called "Xuanyuan", which represented their origin.
‘Name’ is the symbol of a person’s independence. The purpose of ‘name’ is to distinguish individual differences and prevent brothers and sisters who are passed down the same line from being indistinguishable.
Take me as an example, my surname is Zhang and my first name is Ke. This name represents myself, and ‘Ruyi’ is just my Taoist name.
If Shanqiao is your name, then when you die, how will you prove that you have ever appeared in this world?
There are only descendants who carry your blood and surname.
He can introduce himself to others like this: My surname is Shan, my ancestor is Shanyao, and I come from the Hawan tribe.
You are the root of your descendants, and your descendants are the continuation of your life. This is both the inheritance of blood and the inheritance of civilization.
From an institutional perspective, "clan" represents the tribe, and Shanqiao, Hongcan, Shixiong and even all the Xiawan tribe members share one clan.
The 'surname' represents individual private ownership and belongs only to you, not to the tribe.
‘Surname’ is the combination of public ownership and private ownership.”
Hong Can, Shan Qiao and others felt their blood boil when they heard this.
Perhaps it seems to us the most normal thing today, but in that most primitive period, this kind of continuation was no less than rebirth.
Hong Can thought about it for a moment. He had forgotten the name of his father's father's father.
If you have an independent surname, you may be able to trace it back hundreds of years.
At this moment, Hong Silkworm seemed to feel as if he was constantly moving forward across time.
Thirty years ago...
Sixty years ago...
...
She vaguely saw a person, a person with the same bloodline as herself, exuding endless flames and fighting against nature.
"Dong Dong~! Dong Dong~!"
The heart of the red silkworm was beating violently, and a special power sprouted from the beating of the heart.
"boom--!"
A circle of red flames burst out from the inside out of his body, and his whole body instantly resembled a burning torch.
Bloodline Magical Power: Fire Spirit
Shan Qiao and others looked at Hong Silkworm with envy. They did not expect that she could awaken her magical powers when she was approaching old age.
Zhang Ke suddenly realized something in his heart.
Regardless of whether you are gifted with magical powers or have bloodline magical powers, in the final analysis they all come from the origin of your own bloodline.
From this point of view, maybe there is a hidden power in my body that has not been discovered yet.
When he entered the gate of Xiantian Yiqi Sect, he was one of the few disciples who had not awakened his supernatural powers.
Later, after embarking on the path of spiritual practice, he awakened two supernatural powers.
‘First Strike’ and ‘Mantra’.
However, these two magical powers are not innate bloodline magical powers. The 'first attack' is obtained through the study of secret techniques. The reason why the 'mantra' magical power is obtained is unknown, and the reason why it disappears is also unknown.
As for the 'Five Color Divine Light' and the 'Innate Qi Great Grasping Hand', they were both smelted into one's body through secret methods.
Perhaps the descendants born of Zhang Ke may awaken these two magical powers in the future, but strictly speaking, Zhang Ke has not yet awakened the innate magical powers belonging to his own bloodline.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, inspired by the red silkworm, Zhang Ke suddenly felt like a window was opened in his heart, the breath was surging all over his body, and there was some kind of change in his blood.
It's budding.
Hong Silkworm slowly opened his eyes, and the flames in his eyes shot out more than three feet.
After the breath in his body subsided, Hong Cankou bowed to Zhang Ke.
"The layman's words will surely be remembered by the people of this world for eternity. Red Silkworm cannot represent others, and it is only on behalf of himself that he expresses his gratitude to the layman."
As she spoke, she bowed down and saluted three times in a row.
Zhang Ke smiled and accepted the three bows with gratitude.
After the red silkworm saluted, he said to the others in a solemn voice:
"From now on, I will take 'Yan' as my surname and 'Red Silkworm' as my name, and my descendants should also bear the surname of 'Yan'."
Shan Qiao looked at Zhang Ke and asked doubtfully:
"Laity, should this 'surname' be based on the father's surname or the mother's surname, or can both be added to it?"
Zhang Ke raised his eyes slightly and lightly glanced at the mountain.
'Hey, I still like to be clever.'
This question about steep mountains may seem ordinary, but it is not.
The ‘Shanhai Realm’ is still a matriarchal society, and basically all tribal leaders are women.
Therefore, the Flame Red Silkworm will directly choose a surname for herself, and it is also certain that future generations will continue her surname.
However, Shan Qiao's words were tentatively asking whether this 'surname' could be inherited from the father's line, and whether both parents' surnames could appear at the same time.
The former means that patriarchal society will replace matrilineal society, and the latter means that the two lines are equal.
Not only Zhang Ke could see his thoughts, but Hong Can and others also understood.
This is no small matter, but a subversion of the existing social order.
So when the Red Silkworm, Fire Snake, Feng Li and other women all looked at the mountain with murderous eyes, Bu Chan, Shi Xiong, Feng Jiushu and others also all approached the mountain and started to fight with branches.
This is about the inheritance and continuation of gender in the tribe, and it may also change the status of men in the human race in the future. They will never back down.
Hong Can and others looked at Shi Xiong and their eyes all shrank.
In the past few decades, Shi Xiong has always been the staunchest follower of Red Silkworm, but at this moment, he also chose rebellion and confrontation.
The fire snake sternly said:
"Shi Xiong, have you forgotten the oath you swore?"
Red Silkworm was able to secure the position of tribe leader, firstly because of its own prestige, and secondly because of Stone Bear's support.
Among the Xiawan tribe, Stone Bear is the strongest, otherwise he would not be the leader of the hunting team.
Shi Xiong's tall body leaned forward, immediately giving Hong Silkworm and others a strong sense of oppression.
His eyes were firm and his voice was rich and authentic:
"I swore to follow the leader of the Red Silkworm clan and fight to the death for her.
But that doesn't mean I don't have my own ideas.
I, Shi Xiong, belong to the Xiawan tribe, but more importantly, I belong to myself. From now on, I will take ‘Shi’ as my surname, and my descendants must have the surname ‘Shi’!”
‘Rumble—!’
The deafening sound vibrated in the minds of everyone in the cave.
This is the human race's protest against the public ownership system, and it is also the first time in the 'Mountain and Sea Realm' that a male human race has issued a declaration to a woman.
Or...
This is a declaration of war issued by the male human race of the ‘Shanhai Realm’ because they are dissatisfied with the female human race taking power!
