The trading team, also led by Elder Tukan, used a transportation team composed of donkeys and cattle to go to the White Wolf tribe to trade food.
All the mined copper ore was used by Hua Xi for civilian purposes. As for the White Wolf Clan's share, the person in charge of the White Wolf Clan stationed in China City followed the convoy and carried it back to the White Wolf Clan.
Hua Xi knew that after the person in charge returned to the White Wolf Clan, he would definitely report all the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the Youshui Tribe in the past four or five months to Elder Ai Zezi. By then, Ai Zezi
He was no longer surprised by the Shui Tribe, but rather scared and worried. However, Hua Xi was not worried that the other party would take any hostile actions towards her.
Ai Zezi also obtained from himself a large number of ceramics of higher quality and lower price than those produced by other tribes. Hua Xi could guess with his toes that Ai Zezi must have exchanged the items with other tribes just like him.
Trade to continuously strengthen yourself
Secondly, since it has become a fact that the water tribe has become stronger, no matter how funny it is, it is superfluous. It is better to continue to make deals with yourself, everyone will benefit.
Even the worst outcome is that the other party will attack. With this super-era castle as a backing and bows and arrows as support, it will be hard to say who will win and who will lose. Therefore, Hua Xi has no worries about the trading team that has already set off.
Almost a month later, Tukan came back. As expected by Hua Xi, Ai Zezi did not make any trouble for the team. On the contrary, he sent 200 more people to mine the copper mine. The labor force of the White Wolf tribe to mine the copper mine had already reached
As many as 700, the mining speed has also increased a lot
The palace cabinet is a spacious and bright stone room. The interior is very simple, with a fireplace, a large carpet woven with animal skins and silk spread on exquisite tiles, and a long table with three people sitting on chairs.
What are you whispering?
"Clan leader, the White Wolf clan has sent 200 more people to mine copper mines. Could it be that they want to harm us?" Hua An asked worriedly.
"Yes, the day after Ai Zezi saw me, he suddenly became much more enthusiastic than before. He sent 200 extra people to follow the convoy back without saying hello when I came back. There must be something weird!" Elder Tukan also said.
Worry-free
"Hey, we don't need to worry too much if there is something weird. In front of God, what tricks can he do?" Hua Xi stood by the window, looking into the distance, and said disdainfully with his hands behind his back.
"In front of the almighty god, Ai Zezi naturally can't do any tricks, but, patriarch, we still need to be on guard and be careful!" Hua'an and Tukan looked at each other and whispered.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, Hua An! When did you learn to be cautious?" Hua Xi turned around and smiled.
"Well, some time ago, Patriarch, you often said this when you were teaching those hunting tribesmen. I have heard it often, and I know what it means, haha!" Hua An said respectfully.
"Oh? Haha, very good! Very good!..." Hua Xi praised briefly, then turned his head slightly and asked Tukan: "What is the current situation at Aizezi?"
"Back to the clan leader, I heard that the power of the White Wolf clan is now completely controlled by Ai Zezi. I believe it won't be long before Ai Zezi can sit on the position of clan leader," Tukan replied without hesitation.
road
"Oh, as expected! Haha, what about other aspects?"
"The White Wolf tribe used the ceramics they got back in exchange for a large amount of food and weapons with other tribes. It seems that they also launched attacks on several weak tribes and brought back a lot of people. The strength is stronger than before!"
"Yes." Hua Xi nodded, without saying anything. He just signaled to Hua An and Tukan to step back and allow themselves to have a good rest.
After the two left, Hua Xi said for a long time: "Ai Zezi, it seems that the war between you and I Youshui of the White Wolf Clan is not far away..."
More than ten days later, Hua Xi held a grand sacrificial ceremony in front of the ancestral temple. On this day, all the clan members put down their activities and gathered in the large square in front of the ancestral temple to watch the sacrificial ceremony! The square was crowded with people, and there were many figures in the grand square.
During the sacrificial ceremony, Hua Xi was bewitched by the gods and the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in these days. The atmosphere in the entire square instantly boiled to the extreme!
Hua Xi also positions this day as the New Year, which means a new year and a new beginning! Arrange a dedicated person to record and calculate the 365 days and nights from today to one year. A year is divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, and three seasons.
Month, January has 30 days, and one day is an alternation of day and night to record the weather changes in each season.
Hua Xi gave the people responsible for recording and calculating these a title and identity, calling them priests. They were also responsible for arranging all celebrations and sacrifices of the tribe, and specially built a building next to the tribe's ancestral temple, a priest's temple.
A place specifically for them to discuss and study
The celebration lasted for two full days before it was over. After the celebration, Hua Xi immediately read out the laws and regulations, and gave a beautiful message.
The name Youshui can no longer keep up with the increasingly powerful tribe. From today on, the Youshui Tribe has officially changed its name to "Chinese Tribe!"
The tribe promulgated new hierarchies and institutions as follows:
Patriarch: Has absolute power
Council of Elders: Responsible for the coordination, arrangement and handling of all daily and diplomatic affairs of the tribe
Priest Ancestral Temple: Responsible for tribal medicine, astronomical and geographical records, etiquette, celebrations and sacrifices. The most important thing is to convey the gods’ will to the tribe.
The Elders' House and the Priests' Ancestral Temple have no affiliation and are directly responsible to the clan leader.
All other tribesmen are regarded as civilians, and civilians have the opportunity to be promoted to nobles based on their contribution rate.
All captives are slaves and may be upgraded to civilians depending on their contribution rate.
There is not much content in the Chinese Code, only a few articles
1. Those who kill will be punished with a life, and those who are injured or disabled will be punished with a cane ranging from 20 to 100 wooden sticks depending on the situation.
2. Those who steal or rob will be punished with a cane ranging from 10 to 100 wooden sticks depending on the severity of the crime.
Third, mint unified copper coins of different denominations. Elders and priests will receive 100 copper coins with denominations ranging from 1 to 100 at a time to be used as equivalents in daily transactions. After passing the use test by the upper-class nobles of the tribe, they will be implemented in civilian society.
The price and function of the exchanged items are engraved on the large stone tablet outside the ancestral temple for the convenience of the tribesmen.
Fourth, implement private ownership of property. Livestock, land and other means of production are owned by the clan leader Hua Xi. The clan members are allowed to own their own private property. The more you work, the more you work, and you are paid according to your needs.
5. Polygamy is allowed, and adultery, seduction, prostitution and other acts are strictly prohibited. Once reported and verified, the person will be punished with a cane or jailed depending on the seriousness of the case. Those with serious circumstances will be directly reduced to slaves and all private property will be confiscated.
6. Those who make outstanding contributions to the tribe will be directly promoted to nobles and given land, slaves and other items.
After the decree was promulgated and read out, Hua Xi raised the code written with charcoal in his hand and placed it respectfully and solemnly in the ancestral hall of the ancestral temple. Then he led the tribesmen outside to kneel to the ancestral temple and shouted: "God bless China, I swear by this code! If there is any,
If you violate it, both humans and gods will be punished!"
"God bless China, we have established this as an oath! If there is any violation, both humans and gods will be punished!"
"God bless China, we have established this as an oath! If there is any violation, both humans and gods will be punished!"
…………
The sound of the oath echoed in the square for a long time!
If the tribe wants to continue to thrive, the first thing is food and clothing. If the tribe wants to grow, it is necessary to have laws and rules. In the past, there were only a few people, and Hua Xi had the final say in all matters. There was no big problem. But now there are more than 4,000 Shui tribes.
People, if there is no set of laws to restrain the tribe, then this newborn baby will soon die due to internal and external troubles.
Originally, according to Hua Xi's idea, it was planned to promulgate a relatively complete institutional and legal setup, but now these are primitive people who have just come into contact with the new civilization. If you use those to restrain them, firstly, they will suddenly feel extremely uncomfortable, and secondly,
It is also difficult for them to understand, so it is better to start from easy to difficult, from easy to deep, and the effect will be better. After that, the people of the elders' house and the sacrificial ancestral temple handle various affairs purely, and then subdivide the institutions with different functions.
