Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe - Chapter 105
After sending away the management personnel of the two sub-tribes, Sang Yu devoted herself to the construction of the new land.
Mainly follow up the hydraulic vehicles of the manual team, as well as the construction of the baby-care management center in Ci.
Here on the hydraulic wheel.
After two months of careful deliberation, the small team of Mei Dai finally determined the material and the specific improvement method of the bearing. Sang Yu immediately announced that it could make a large hydraulic vehicle entity, and everyone in the handicraft team immediately put down other work in hand , Roll up your sleeves and start working.
Including the 20 blacksmiths in the blacksmithing yard, a handicraft team of 40 people was involved in the construction of the hydraulic vehicle.
Mei divided the forty people into three groups, responsible for the production of water pestles, water row and water mill respectively.
And Mei, Ting and Yun also acted as teams respectively, supervising and following up, day and night.
Thirteen people are in charge of building a waterwheel, but the workload is actually not difficult.
Just like a water row, you need to make two medium-sized water wheels, and prepare some bearings and wooden sticks. It takes only four to five days to actually build it.
But the difficulty is to be able to coordinate these manpower, and how to divide the labor, and finally assemble it.
It is also necessary to determine the address of the installation, and to consider the artificial water level drop, which is the most time-consuming.
Fortunately, in the past few years, the tribe has also produced a lot of iron tools, including axes, awls and saws, which have all been put into the production of waterwheels.
Everyone has the tools at hand, and the work efficiency is greatly improved.
Sang Yu also figured out a truth from it. No matter what age people are, in fact, there is not much difference in IQ among people, and there is not a big gap in hands-on ability. It’s just that modern people have formed a set of systematic theories, which can be followed by experience. , It is this point that has separated the productivity of the two eras.
But this is only the first, and the second is the most critical point: the idea.
It is not difficult to make water drainage, but on the road from scratch, no one can believe that there will be such a thing that can irrigate and pull bellows. It is precisely because there is no concept that I don’t believe it. I never thought about it. think.
If Sangyu didn’t come, people didn’t lose their hands-on ability. This ability has always existed, but they just couldn’t do it.
Now that Sangyu is here, she doesn’t know how to make waterwheels either. But she suggested that it could be done, and so there was the waterwheel.
It’s that amazing.
This point of view is especially applicable to dynamics involving simple physics.
When the first and simplest water pestle was researched, everyone was boiling.
In the future, rice with shells will need to be pounded, and ore will need to be crushed when smelting iron. This will save them a lot of effort.
After the success of the first mechanical construction, the entire handicraft team was greatly encouraged, as if they had been given blood, and almost forgot to sleep and eat, devoting all their energy to the development of the remaining two waterwheels.
This kind of research spirit inspired Sang Yu, and she also participated in the experiment together. If she fails, she will start again, find the reason, and improve. The process is repeated tirelessly.
Soon, another half month later, the water row and water mill were built successively.
Three medium-sized hydraulic vehicles stood successively by the river. Under the action of the water level drop, as long as the connecting shafts are not pulled apart, these machines will continue to operate tirelessly.
Sang Yu plans to build a small processing plant near the hydraulic vehicle, and all the rice that needs to be ground will be processed in this place.
The food area and the industrial area should also be strictly separated and cannot be mixed together.
There used to be ten people working in the blacksmithing yard, but now that the hydraulic cart is in use, there is no need for a single person to pull the bellows, and the efficiency of iron refining has been greatly improved. So Sang Yu and Mei Yi discussed and reduced the original twenty blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop by ten.
The work goal of the handicraft team in the next year is to build 20 giant hydraulic vehicles by the river and connect them to the workshops and farmland of each team.
They need to upgrade the original working equipment and processes. As long as they can be replaced by hydraulic power, they will build water trucks and connect to power.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
The baby-care management center on Ci’s side was completed as scheduled, and 30 baby-sitters started working as scheduled.
These babysitters come from various teams, both male and female.
Their salary is two catties more per month than other ordinary players, which is considered a very generous condition. When they first signed up, they really fought hard.
Different from modern times, children in primitive society are not troublesome, and it is much easier to take care of them. After a week of work, these babysitters feel pretty good, and it is not as difficult as imagined.
The children under the age of five in the school were also transferred to the nursery center, leaving only 70 children aged 5-15. These children only need five life teachers to supervise and supervise them.
The rest of the life teachers are added to the baby-care management center.
After these adjustments, Sang Yu made another detailed statistics on the tribe’s population, and made partial adjustments to the number of people according to the amount of tasks.

Calculated, there are nearly 500 laborers, 70 students, and more than 200 infants and young children under the age of 5.
Sang Yu is quite satisfied with the current configuration, and doesn’t want to bother adding another team.
In the future, it is only necessary to refine and consolidate these existing divisions of labor.
She came back from Yanshan in early September, and until the end of November now, she has been busy following up on the hydraulic vehicles and the baby care management center for the past few months. Now that these two things are gradually on the right track, I am relieved.
She didn’t really want to be too radical, and the tribe is already very powerful at this point. So I plan to implement a prosperity policy for a period of time in the future, so that everyone can take a good rest.
Commute to and from get off work on time every day, take a good rest on weekends, and don’t rush like a while ago.
The football game, which had been put on hold for a year, will continue to be played after the busy farming season in spring next year.
Everyone in the tribe is happy, they go to work on time every day, and when they go home at night, their husbands/wifes and children are warm on the kang, not to mention how happy they are.
Sang Yu’s tense nerves also gradually eased. Her small yard is not in the same place as other communities. Now there are guards, and few people come, it seems very quiet.
Happily, Yu is back.
There is a fixed person in charge and a “garrison” on the Yanshan Mountain, so it doesn’t make much sense for Yu to stay there, and animals may appear in all directions around the tribe, not necessarily just in the northeast.
Yanshan is not far from Xindi, she can go anywhere, starting directly from Xindi.
So after capturing a small herd of wild horses again, she returned to the new land with the pioneer team.
I plan to rest for a while, and then follow the traces of these animals in a new direction.
Since she came back, Sang Yu felt that she had become dependent in her heart. So I don’t even want to go to work, and I completely let go of myself.
As soon as she was free, she started to tinker with food and drink, and this time she wanted to get wine.
To make wine, you have to make distiller’s yeast first. Sang Yu moved the small stone mill to her yard and asked Lai Yu to help her.
First, dry cassava, millet and beans, mix a little of each, and let Yu grind these grains into powder.
After the powder is ground, water is added to adjust it, and finally it is put into a clay pot, covered with some hay, and then allowed to grow mold.
This is wine koji.
After standing for a week, the koji is dried in the sun, and the koji is turned every day for three consecutive days, and then put back into the greenhouse to allow it to continue to grow.
These songs need to be stored for a week, and can only be used when the temperature drops.
After the koji is made, the wine is made. The millet is steamed until it is half-cooked, and then the koji is mixed in to wait for it to ferment.
During this period, the handicraft team was asked to make a large drum. There was no cover at both ends of the drum, and only a hole was left on the wall to let the wine out.
Two large iron pots, put the fermented distiller’s mother into cold water, fire the stove and start cooking the distiller’s mother, the gas containing alcohol evaporates upwards, meets the large iron pot above, condenses into a liquid after cooling, and then opens along the wall of the barrel The pipes of the holes flow out, and this is distilled spirits.
Sang Yu’s sense of wine is only so-so, and she drinks occasionally. But alcohol is an inevitable product in the future development process. Drinking alcohol in moderation can kill intestinal parasites and various bacteria, add to the fun, and make the body burst with vitality.
This step of brewing is still necessary.
Watching a small piece of wine dripping from the pipe into the clay pot, Sang Yu took half of the glass from the glass and took a sip.
The hot wine diffused from the throat to the chest cavity and flowed into the abdomen, and pushed upwards along the esophagus in one breath, all the way to the entire forehead, and the heat on the face was also rising.
Sang Yu didn’t expect this wine to be so strong. Maybe I am a person who doesn’t drink very much, so it’s so easy to get drunk after just one sip.
She handed the cup to the curious little girl behind her, “Try it.”
Yu took the cup, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. He was so choked that he bent over and coughed straight away, but he didn’t spit out a drop of the wine.
Sang Yu patted her on the back with some amusement and said, “How is it, how does it feel?”
The little girl raised her head, her face was blushing, but her brows were wrinkled together, she pursed her mouth and said, “Bitter—”
Seeing this, Sang Yu couldn’t help laughing, and reached out to pinch her face, but was dodged instantly.
“You are not as cute as before, and you are not rubbed or pinched anymore.”
In another month, Yu will be an adult, no longer a little girl.
And I, unknowingly, have reached the age of twenty-eight.
Sang Yu didn’t care about these things, this age was also a good time when she came here.
A young mind is always young, only in a short life, you can live yourself, and you don’t need to care too much about the others.
Yu was teased by her, but she didn’t reply, and silently took the glass and went to drink.
Seeing that she drank it all in one gulp, Sang Yu just patted her head and said, “You little friend, you can’t drink such a rare wine like mine.”
The two chased and fought, and actually drank a lot of wine together.
That night, Sang Yu was overwhelmed with alcohol and collapsed early.
As for what Yu said in her ear, and what he did secretly, she couldn’t hear clearly and couldn’t remember.
It wasn’t until the next afternoon when he woke up that he didn’t see anyone around him. When he asked the guards, he heard that there was trouble in Tong Town, so Yu led people there.
Tong Town now has a total of 400 tourists, plus seven managers and 50 members of the Phoenix tribe sent from Xindi, this number has reached the standard of a new tribe.
Sang Yu has always adopted a soft policy towards the outside world. Therefore, Ke and others did not impose mandatory requirements on the coming and going of tourists. Instead, they hope to use favorable conditions as bait to attract them to join the tribe.
Once they joined the Phoenix tribe, the tribe’s criminal laws would be effective for them, making management easier.
But it is not easy for everyone to join the Phoenix Tribe convincingly.
Some people came here for the Phoenix Tribe, and they joined immediately.
But there are still many people watching.
And Ke encountered a problem when he was staffing the detachment. Because some tourists are unwilling to buy it, thinking that they are just here to eat and eat, and they will leave after winter, so there is no need to organize them.
For this reason, they are unwilling to abide by the rules of the Phoenix Tribe, do not go to the toilet in the designated area, and even bully the weak at will.
Ke and the others are not easy-going lamps, and it is impossible to allow this group of people to behave like this.
So a few big straw huts were built on the outskirts of Tong Town, and these tourists who did not join the tribe were arranged to live there.
Although the straw shed can provide shelter from the wind and rain, and can survive this winter, how can a Datong shop be compared to a single room.
There are also enough houses in Tongzhen. The rows of neat and sturdy wooden houses can accommodate about six or seven hundred people. These people are even more reluctant to move when they see vacant houses.
Relying on the fact that the Phoenix Tribe was recruiting soldiers and wanting to make a good name, they really dared to make a fuss.
But there is no such good thing.
This group of people looks so ugly, Ke is unwilling, and the soldiers stationed can’t agree.
So the two sides launched a conflict.
The fuse was the robbery of the food delivery team in Xindi, which led to Liang and his assistant in charge of the small canteen without rice to cook.
The food was not delivered, and since there was still a day’s journey between the two places, it took time to deliver letters and deliveries. As a result, the tourists in Tongzhen were hungry and did not go to work, so some people began to take the lead in rioting.
The small team that had been robbed rushed back to Xindi to report. Sang Yu was too drunk to wake up, and Yu immediately set off with the pioneer team.
Gao hurriedly arranged for Yan to lead people to follow up with the supply of grain and grass.
When Yu and the others arrived, Ke led more than 50 people and was confronting more than 400 tourists on the opposite side, with Da acting as a peacemaker in the middle.
Hearing the dense sound of horseshoes, the leading group of people were startled. But seeing only a small team of 20 people coming, the cautiousness on his face quickly turned into recklessness.
“So what about the Phoenix Tribe? You can’t bully us tourists just because you are a big tribe. We agreed that as long as we do the work, we will have food. We haven’t eaten for a whole day and night.”
Ke, who had been working hard to find a solution to the problem, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yu and others coming.
The food that was supposed to arrive the night before did not arrive. Misfortunes never come singly, and the small warehouse for storing food in Tong Town was also stolen.
Although there is not much food, it directly prevents the kitchen from firing, and there is no room for buffering.
About the warehouse, Ke knew that someone was playing tricks. But these people came prepared, and he couldn’t find anything for a while.
He has sent someone back to check the delivery situation as soon as possible. But it was a long way back and forth, and now he could only deal with it here while waiting anxiously.
After Yu arrived, he told him directly that the food had been robbed, and that the follow-up food was already on the way.
Ke Xin calmed down, and then said to the group of people: “The food from the warehouse was stolen, and the food from Xindi was robbed halfway. I think this must not be a coincidence. But soon this matter will be investigated soon.” Ming, you are involved in this matter.
If I can stand up and admit my mistake now, I might consider a lighter punishment. But if you still want to hide it, once you find out—then don’t blame me for being cruel. “
As soon as this was said, no one dared to say anything.
Ke looked at these people and sneered for a while.
“Very well, none!”
After changing the subject, he said: “For those who did not distribute food in time yesterday, we will wait for the food to be delivered and make up for it one by one.”
“What’s the use of making up for it? After starving for so long, how can you pay for it if you die of starvation!” The leading man showed displeasure and cursed.
“I don’t think you look hungry at all, but you seem to have eaten it secretly somewhere, everyone said, right?”
The soldiers behind him echoed.
The man named Hu blushed instantly, and argued hastily, “You—don’t talk nonsense, you just ate it secretly. In order not to let us eat, the people in your tribe hid the food and ate it secretly.”
Ke sneered and said, “I don’t have to do that, because when the food arrives later, I will arrange to make up for the food that delayed everyone yesterday and today.”
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.
Ke said: “Also, you, take the lead in causing trouble, we don’t need such a helper, big cow, get rid of this person, and never hire him again.”
Without further ado, Daniel held a weapon made from a tree branch and said to the human: “Go by yourself or wait for me to fork it out.”
The man scolded anxiously: “I haven’t got the food from yesterday and today, so I won’t leave.”
“This is where the helper stands, you can’t stand here, get out of here.”
The man was swearing and pushed aside.
Ke said: “Everyone pay attention, let everyone starve for two days, our Phoenix tribe must give an explanation, everyone, in addition to the original food, can also get an extra compensation.”
“In addition, those who have decided to join the Phoenix tribe can get two compensations.”
As soon as these words came out, some people were dissatisfied.
“Why, everyone didn’t receive the food, how come your own family can get two.”
Seeing the aggressive look of this group of people, Yu couldn’t help but sneered and said, “Why, just because they are members of the Phoenix Tribe, our tribe is good to our own people, it’s none of your business, if you join now, I’ll give you a double portion of food without saying a word.”
“You—you are a woman, do you have a place to speak here!”
“I came here at the command of the leader. Do you have any say for me?”
Seeing this, Ke said to Er Niu: “Er Niu, get this guy out too, he is so troublesome, our tribe doesn’t welcome such a person.”
“Hey—” the man became anxious, “We used to live well in our own land. We heard that there is food and shelter here, so we come here for the winter. Now you drive us away, what do you mean, Phoenix Tribe? Is this how you treat tourists? If you spread the word, there won’t be any tourists coming to join you in the future.”
Yu sneered and said, “Just go out and say, you work hard, you will have two meals a day, and those straw huts outside will protect you from the wind, sun and rain, and you will have everything you need to eat. , What else do you want, you want to live better, you want to go to the kang in winter, sorry, that is the treatment of our Phoenix tribe, you don’t have this treatment.”
The man was instantly discouraged, he and the man named Hu really weren’t in the same group. It’s just that seeing the people who joined the Phoenix Tribe are treated so well, I can’t help being jealous.
He hurriedly confessed and said: “I didn’t mean that just now, I just – I was quick to talk and said the wrong thing for a while, big sister, please forgive me.”
The young Yu, who was called eldest sister by a man in his thirties, immediately grinned.
Then you said: “Then do you want to consider joining us? You see, you have food, clothing, and housing. What do you want to live for? Isn’t it for a better life? We can give you all of these.”
The man hesitated and said: “I—our tribe, hey, if I join the Phoenix tribe, our tribe will be extinct.”
Yu tilted his head and thought for a while: “Your son is behind you, think about it, you can’t live on now, how do you support him, you can’t support him, he might starve to death, your tribe is still After the same absolutely.
But you join in, your son wears clean clothes, is well fed, and still goes to school, but at least he survives. “
“But…but…”
At this time, the people around him poked him and said, “Old Ma, the most important thing is to be alive. If you really die, you really have nothing.”
The old horse hesitated for a moment, but heard the little girl in front of him say: “The Phoenix tribe allows you to believe in your own totem, and you can keep your pattern on your face. As long as you abide by the laws of the tribe and do not betray the tribe, we will not interfere with your beliefs.”
When the old horse heard this, surprise appeared on his face.
He asked uncertainly, “Really?”
The others looked over in unison, because of Lao Ma’s situation, so did many of them.
Yu said: “Of course…”
Having said this, half of the people Ulla ran behind Ke.
Daniu and the others shouted from the side, “When it snows, we will celebrate the New Year, and we will kill pigs. Then don’t be greedy, sit on the kang and eat meat, and your body will be warm, not to mention how comfortable it is.”
It was already winter at this time, and the weather was very cold. Many people were quickly swayed by Daniel’s words.
Seeing their twinkling eyes, Ke said: “In the tribe, children don’t have to work. They can go to school, learn characters, and learn knowledge. After they come out of school, they can also go to Xindi to join the pottery team. Like you are now living a hard life with ups and downs.”
At this time, a few people with their children couldn’t bear it anymore, and ran over with their left hands and right hands.
“Wu, register the people who applied to join the tribe today, and the house will be allocated immediately.”
Others who originally wanted to wait and see, couldn’t help it anymore, and all rushed forward together.
Wu Da shouted: “No hurry, no hurry, come with me here and queue up to register—”
Only the 20 or 30 people who had caused the disturbance stood there motionless.
Ke said: “Remember, everyone, if you join the Phoenix Tribe, you have to abide by the rules of the Phoenix Tribe. At that time, we will act according to the laws of the tribe.
Of course, you will also be protected by the tribe. Whoever dares to bully you, let them better weigh themselves. “
These words meant something, and the remaining few people looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
“You guys, since you don’t plan to join the Phoenix Tribe, you will live in the huts outside Tong Town from now on. You are foreigners and cannot enter the territory of Tong Town. Once you dare to step in, you will be treated as an intrusion into the tribe. Don’t blame us for being rude.”
So far, the Phoenix Tribe has added 375 people.
Seeing that the matter was settled in this way, Yu said to Ke a little bored: “I was in a hurry, I thought I could show off my skills and exercise my muscles here, it seems that I have no such opportunity.”
Ke turned his head, looked at the more than 20 people who were still standing there, and shook his head.
“Don’t even think about it, these people are not enough for me.”
