I am a Primitive Man

The emergence of any system must be supported by actual conditions, and it must be in line with reality, such as the spouse system of the Qingque tribe.

In the tribe itself, there is a situation where one person has multiple wives, and Han Cheng, who only married one Bai Xuemei, has no mandatory requirements. He must let all the people in the tribe be like him and perform monogamous pairing.

This is not caused by machismo or the like, but the actual situation in the tribe is here, and it is impossible not to obey this.

In the tribe, there are now more than twice as many adult women as adult men. If monogamy is forced, more than half of the female primitives in the tribe will become bachelors and become old maids.

This is not good at all, it is not conducive to the internal unity of the Qingque tribe, and it is too cruel for these primitive women.

It's a long night, how can I sleep alone?

It’s fine if you really live alone, but the key is that the Qingque Tribe still implements Datongpu. Except for a few, it’s impossible for a family to live in a house, let alone a person. A house is up.

Since then, the problem has come, listening to the melodious original ditty, it is difficult to fall asleep...

Another reason is that this is extremely unfavorable to the increase in the population of the Qingque tribe.

It is also because of this that the Qingque Tribe's current conjugal system, which is not particularly clear, but basically has been agreed upon, has been formed.

It is foreseeable that as the ratio of men to women in the tribe gradually balances, this system will definitely change and gradually move closer to monogamy.

After all, no one wants to lie on the kang at night and just listen to other people humming...

The chilly wind also couldn't dispel the fiery hearts of the people. The rough and tactful singing voices rang out here. It didn't take long for a pair of young people who were attracted to each other because of their singing to be lost. The hemp in his hand was being peeled, and he went to the river to wash off the mud on his hands and arms, and then ran happily one after the other to a small forest not too far away.

With their successful example, the remaining young people suddenly became more active, especially those male young people, who were all excited like chicken blood, and their singing voices were much louder.

Even a few people who are not very good at singing, or who are relatively shy, all opened their mouths and sang loudly. Among them, the younger sister who was taught by Shenzi to sit on the bow of the boat was sung the most. .

The second is the Crossing the River that Shenzi once taught everyone, which is the song of a bend~bend~ river in front of my brother, and my sister is singing sweet~sweet~ opposite.

Not long after, someone held hands and ran together to the small woods not far away.

It's just that different from the previous couple, this time there were three people holding hands and running towards the grove, one man and two women.

Wu sat on a small bench, holding a torn hemp head in one hand, and a hemp rod in the other hand, blocking it on the small wooden stake nailed in front of him, and pulling it a little harder, the hemp skin It was pulled down.

He is very proficient in doing such things.

While peeling the hemp, Wu raised his eyes and looked around, seeing these young people who were trying to sing, or ran towards the grove after singing, with smiles on their wrinkled faces.

He can't get enough of things like this.

After what happened today, after a while, many newborn babies will be born in my tribe.

People are about the same. When they get old, they always want to watch their offspring get married and have children, and then run around their knees. Even if there is a little guy who makes troubles and irritates people occasionally, he still feels sweet in his heart.

Those who were older and already had spouses also looked at these with great interest, recalling what they had done, comparing it with the scene in front of them, their hearts were full of warmth.

There are also some who are more good at playing, not only recalling by themselves, but also helping their partners to recall.

From time to time, I would go to my partner's ear and whisper something that only two people know, which made the other party laugh for a while.

Because of the holding of this event, the work of stripping hemp, which should have been relatively cold and bitter, suddenly became warmer.

Everyone was talking and laughing while doing these things, and they didn't feel that it was too painful at all.

Another thing that needs to be mentioned is that the young people of the right age who live in the Tongshan residential area will also rush back to the main tribe from the Tongshan residential area before the mahjong stripping starts to participate in this tribal event. In other words, the grandest mate selection event.

Fortunately, humans are far superior to other species, as long as they have sufficient food and energy, they can do it anytime, anywhere, unlike the rest of the other species, most of them have a fixed estrus period.

Otherwise, this stripping hemp couplet song mate selection meeting must be changed to spring.

Of course, the current system of the Qingque Tribe still needs to be improved. One of the most important things is how to avoid the problem of unknowingly close relatives.

Since it is still in the initial stage, everything is being perfected, and the next generation has not yet grown up, or has not been born directly, so this matter is not too urgent.

In addition, Han Dashenzi is very busy every day, so he was put on hold for the time being, but later, he will find ways to solve it...

Pfft~

A copper shovel was inserted into the soil, and with both hands, it was pried up vigorously, and a piece of soil with water was pried out.

Because of the water, there will be such a sound when the mud is pried up.

Han Cheng, who had his trousers rolled up, moved his hands slightly to buckle the piece of soil on the copper shovel, straightened up, and his back felt a little sore.

Cultivating paddy fields is not easy at all, and it is more tiring than dry fields.

On the one hand, there are a large number of aquatic plants in the water, and all kinds of roots are intertwined. Often, a piece of soil cannot be dug up with a shovel. It takes several copper shovels to smash the roots on the soil. Can.

On the other hand, there is water, which makes it inconvenient to walk, and your feet and legs are cold when you step on it. The cutting tool such as the hoe is basically unusable, because when the hoe goes down, a piece of water will splash up, and because the bottom of the water The mud is too soft to pry and has no fulcrum.

It is also because of this that the speed of developing paddy fields is far less than that of dry fields.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that as time goes by, the weather gets colder day by day, and the water becomes colder and colder. When the time comes, it will definitely not be possible to go into the water to do such a thing like it is now. .

This can be done if there are long rubber shoes or rain pants, but the current Qingque tribe obviously does not have such conditions.

But if the work is stopped in winter, the paddy fields will definitely not be opened up too much, and there will definitely not be too much rice planted next year.

Not to mention planting all the rice obtained now into seedlings, it is already very good to be able to plant one-third of the rice obtained.

Of course Han Cheng didn't want to see such a thing happen.

Because this means that if you want to open up Jinguan City, you need to invest more manpower and material resources and spend more time.

But it is not easy to solve this kind of thing. After all, there is a lack of various tools now, and Han Cheng, a traveler who has seen the world, has more contact with dry fields in later generations, and not much contact with paddy fields. , I don’t know enough, and correspondingly, I don’t have many ways to think about it.

However, people are often forced out.

Well, if you don't push yourself, you will never know how good you are.

Faced with such a situation, after a lot of hard thinking and meditation, Han Dashenzi came up with a solution.

His method is very simple to put it bluntly.

Since paddy fields are not easy to develop, just turn them into dry fields.

Of course, this so-called turning into dry fields is not completely turning them into dry fields. After all, Han Cheng opened up these fields to plant rice instead of millet, and this era has not yet cultivated the kind that can be directly planted in the field. Rice growing on dry land.

The dry land he speaks of is only temporary.

It is to dig ditches around a demarcated area first, use the excavated soil to surround the field ridges, and isolate this area from the outside waters, and then open an opening to surround the area The water inside is released.

In this way, the water inside will slowly dry up, from water land to dry land.

After becoming a dry land, the speed of development will be greatly improved. In winter, people can continue to develop these dry lands without worrying about soaking their feet in cold water and frostbiting their bodies.

After these fields are turned over again, the intricate grass roots that have grown for many years inside are cleaned up, and the wasteland is turned into farmland, then a hole is dug on the outer side of the field ridge, and water can be introduced to deal with it. Good fields are turned into paddy fields again and used to grow rice.

Of course, relying solely on building ridges outside the field will not be able to do this, because the water inside is not easy to flow clean.

Therefore, while doing this, Han Cheng also led people to continue digging and widening the deeper water area according to the terrain of this shallow water area, and made it into a series of channels.

In this way, the water has all gathered into these crooked channels and flowed downstream.

After such things were completed, many places that were originally submerged in water emerged from the water and dried up day by day.

Cooperating with the measures taken, many places have become dry land.

What Han Cheng is doing now is to dig ditches here with the rest of the people, trying to get as much dry land as possible before the weather becomes completely cold and it is not suitable for people to go into the water with bare feet.

In this way, when the weather starts to get cold in winter, he and the people in the tribe can excavate these places with peace of mind.

In order to dig as many ditches as possible and gather the water in this area of ​​water, after the construction of the twelve tile-roofed houses in the inner courtyard of Jinguan City, Han Cheng directly stopped the construction of houses, Let these people also join in this work.

With the progress of this matter, Han Cheng and the others also got another harvest by the way.

This harvest is a lot of fish and shrimp.

After a large area of ​​water became dry due to Han Cheng's efforts, many fish and shrimp that had not had time to leave with the flowing water were left in place, tied up in shallow puddles or In the mud.

These guys who run extremely fast in the water can't get up immediately after leaving the water, and they can only stay there obediently and be picked up dried fish by the people of the Qingque tribe.

As a result, the number of fish and shrimp obtained by the Qingque Tribe has doubled during this period of time.

Han Cheng is not worried about the matter of fishing in the dry lake. As long as they open up this area and reintroduce the water source, fish and shrimp will soon grow again in this area of ​​water.

When the time comes, a fish pond may be cleared near here for the purpose of cultivating fry.

After water is poured into the paddy fields in spring, some fish fry are put into the paddy fields and let them grow together with the rice.

After the rice is harvested in autumn, let out some water, and you can happily harvest the last batch of fish and shrimp.

Moreover, fish growing in it will not only not affect the growth of rice, but can also eat a lot of insects, and fish dung can also provide a lot of nutrients for rice.

It is impossible to harvest and plant rice twice a year. It is also very good to harvest the last batch of fish and shrimp while harvesting rice.

Looking at this place that has undergone tremendous changes due to their efforts, Han Cheng thought about the beautiful life in the future, and then started digging here with everyone with a copper shovel.

A good life cannot be obtained by just relying on imagination. If you want to realize it and live the kind of life you want, you need to put in a lot of hard work.

While Han Cheng and the Qingque tribe who went south were working hard to build everything they dreamed of here, the older female primitive people were also working hard for what they wanted.

After walking for some time, a cave appeared in the eyes of the older female primitive people.

Near the cave, there are some old and weak people, they play here, or get some food.

For the older female primitive people who appeared in the field of vision, most of these people appeared to be panicked, and hurriedly ran towards the cave, preparing to hide.

#￥ER￥!

During this process, someone yelled a little strangely.

Following his shout, the people who hurriedly ran into the cave stopped and looked at the older female primitive people who were gradually approaching their cave together.

Their eyes fell on the pottery carried by the older female primitives...
