Chapter 288: Tranquility before the storm?
In the afternoon, Chief of the Granma Tribe, who had been in a state of onlookers, the very beautiful girl took two of her tribesmen to the stone platform and conveyed to Zheng that the Granma Tribe also wanted to join the Jiu Yuan.
She did not make a provisional decision on her own, and her tribesmen had been discussing it for a long time. Last winter, they voted to join the Jiu Yuan, but they never had a good chance to talk to Jiu Yuan chief and priest. Later, when many women came to see the Jiu Yuan, the Granma Tribe, who had more women than men, hesitated.
A few days ago, they watched the Jiu Yuan’s Priest unexpectedly ride on a huge bone bird with so many strong warriors coming down from the sky. Her Tribesmen urged her to go to Zheng to say that they wanted to join The Jiu Yuan.
Today, she heard with her own ears that the scale of The Jiu Yuan that has already been formed, and the division of responsibilities among them is something that she had never thought of before. There are so many warriors that even women and girls are trained as warriors. She may not know much, but she always feels like this here is like the legendary Three Cities.
When she watched in the morning, she found that the Jiu Yuan broke up all the Tribesmen at the time of compilation, which made her hesitate a little again. But when she looked back, she finally decided that the Tribesmen were eager for stability, strength and strong man's face.
Moreover, she also knew that if they did not take this opportunity to join in again, just as now the Jiu Yuan had a large number of warriors and women become scarce, their advantages would be even less in the future. Besides, it would not be a good thing to always live outside the tribe of others. It would be better to simply join the Jiu Yuan and become the real Jiu Yuan. The people.
Zheng brought the matter to his attention.
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan had expected this and did not delay, so they agreed on the spot.
Yan Mo is satisfied with The Granma Tribe. There are nearly 300 people in this tribe, more women than men, and more than 80% of men and women are legitimate laborers because of their quick escape from the Lizard men. A little longer than two or three years they can also be used. Most importantly, this Tribesmen has a good character, generous and bright, they are disturbing and the always know the right and the wrong, and has the very carefree members.
When people heard that the Granma Tribe had joined the tribe, they set off a climax. Many of these young and middle-aged men, who were single, had been coveting those girls for a long time, and even many of them had conspired with them and had children.
That evening, Wu Chen handed Yan Mo the latest compiled data.
"Shifu, more than 200 wild people who previous lived in The Stone Forest Tribe said they will join The Jiu Yuan, and they will not go back to The Stone Forest Tribe land again."
[1] The Stone Forest Tribe is that tribe which was nearly killed off by the Lizard men.
Yan Mo nodded. There was coal under the stone forest caves. He had no intention of letting the savages go back at all. He said that they would leave at will, but just catch them. These people have lived in The Jiu Yuan for half a year, and now you drive them away, they probably won't leave.
Yuan Zhan took over the slate and looked at it. Now he knows a lot of words. If he can't understand them, he asked Yan Mo.
Wu Chen was more intimate and reported the data directly: "The Stone Forest wild men and The Granma Tribe are also included. At present, the total population of The Jiu Yuan is 4805 people. There are 1583 women over twelve years old, 2250 men over twelve years old, 827 child warriors over six years old and under twelve years old, 90 children under six years old and 55 old people who can't work at all.
Wu Chen took out another larger slate. "This is the list of leaders at all levels."
Yan Mo did not answer, he pointed to the wall opposite the conference room. "See that schematic diagram, there is a box under each job. You fill in all the names of all the people according to their duties one by one."
Wu Chen turned his head and his eyes were bright. There was a top-down pyramid structure. The structure of the whole tribe was clear at a glance, and it was easy to remember as to who is above who and who reports to who, "Yes."
Yuan Zhan looked at the heavy slate and frowned. "It's almost time for the dwarfs to discover their ruins," he said to Yan Mo.
Wu Chen curious, dwarf ruins place? Where? What's in it?
Yan Mo almost forgot about it. He also looked at the slate and laughed, "It's really time they found it."
It doesn't matter whether there are papers or not. But now the population is nearly 5,000, the paperwork in all aspects has increased dramatically, and the need of professors and teachers has made it necessary to advance the production of papers.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYuan Zhan intends to take his the priest to arrange the place in a few days.
Yan Mo also told Wu Chen a few things, "You may have a hard time these days. One is the alternation between the old and the new work, and the other is the most trivial thing at the beginning. There must be many people who have doubts. They can't come directly to chief and me. Nine out of ten they will come to you asking. In this case, you can deal with any issue that arise. If you are not sure or unable to give an answer, write it down and come to me every evening.”
Wu Chen answered meticulously, "Yes."
Outside there was a knock at the door, and as Yan Mo had told him to leave the square in the afternoon, all the latest members of the tribe came out.
Yuan Zhan raised his hand and let everyone in. Although the structure is complete, but what to do and how to do better, because most of these people have no experience, they need Yan Mo to help them sort out.
The next day, the whole tribe of The Jiu Yuan was busy, with figures running around and shouting at each other. Many people were carrying bags and small bags, and almost all of them were busy moving.
In the end, leaders at all levels, big and small, had to hold up their trumpets and shout, "Don't bring everything into the barracks! Covering, clothing, weapons and utensils, the tribe will provide them all!!”
"Later we will check at the barracks. If we find too many things, we will throw them out! You! That big man! Why do you carry so many bones? Wherever you put them, you are not allowed to bring these bones into the barracks."
The big man froze forward, and was reminded that he still had a blank face. He could not understand The Jiu Yuan common language.
Although Priest Da-Ren said all these things yesterday, not everyone can remember that even if they remember, they will not give up all their property, even if it is only a few bones or some stone utensils.
More savages listen to the background music with hoarse and exhaustive shouts from leaders at all levels, unlock the only skirt or temporarily twist a little straw rope, trying to bring all the personal property accumulated during this period into the barracks.
There was a savage man with a snake more than one meter long on his neck. It was alive!
There are also savages who can't tell where they belong until now. They chase their acquaintances and ask, "Where am I supposed to be?"
Seeing that many people can't tell the north from the west, even the right from the left, the leaders have to work hard to climb up the high ground again, waving and shouting at their voices: "The first Battalion of the first regiment all concentrated here!"
"The Second Battalion regiment come over here!"
"Hey you! You're on our battalion. What are you running to the women's barracks for?”
Zheng and five other regiment leaders stood on the wall and shook their heads. "It's too messy. It's better to let people go to their respective residences then pick up people directly from them."
Zhang chuckled. "It's not that you want to see the ability of those low-level leaders, so you can't make it clear. Let them arrange it by themselves, as long as they are in..."
Zhang looked up at the sky on a high stone terrace in the middle of the Inner City Square. He had good vision. He could see clearly the grid and pointer indicating the time of the Wen Tian Sun and Moon dial. "As long as all of them were arranged in their barracks before 11:00 noon," Zhang said.
Bue looked at the city, looked at it, and praised it with his eyes. "It's so good, who has the ability to even imagine this could be like this at a glance. Who is the junior leader standing in front of the 300 Duo Fei slave hut? I remember him as The Awu Tribesmen?”
Meng is most familiar with The Awu Tribesmen. Looking carefully, he affirms, "That kid's name is Zhu Neng, The Awu Tribesmen, he is a 2nd rank warrior."
Bue praised him: "he is very clever. He takes people there to pick up people directly. When he receives a batch, he lets them take a batch to back to the regiment barracks. When there's no one else, he goes to another place of residence. He's probably afraid those people don't know him and have red feathers on their heads.
Zheng and Zhang both opened their mouths and asked, "Which regiment is that?"
Shen-Gu has a slight smile on his face from Zhang. "We are the Fifth Regiment, I remember him, and he is deputy commander of the first company." The company's commander is a 4th rank warrior who joined The Jiu Yuan this time. Zhu Neng was chosen by the man himself.
Shen-Gu chose Lan Dier, who was only 3rd Rank, as his deputy commander. This decision surprised many people, especially those who had been following him since The Moer-Gan, but he believed he had made no mistake.
Although he did not spend much time with Lan Dier, he found that the young man was trusted by the priest and was one of the few intermediate ranked warriors who could meet the priest directly. Of course, he chose Lan Dier for more than that reason. The young man may be tender as a senior leader, but he is extremely smart and thorough. He also has great ideas and good temperament in dealing with the war.
[1] Lan Dier is the Hei Yuan Clan Yuan Ji tribe ma whose wife was a slave and had a breech labor which Yan Mo solved, when Yuan Ji was surrounded by the Zhi people the Red Fox tribe and another tribe.
The five heads of the regiments have not been involved. They left things on the leaders below the company commander arrange these trivial matters.
As a result, the move that was expected to be completed before ten a.m. had been delayed until evening.
After entering the barracks, various things happened, such as many mothers living directly with their children in the barracks.
Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo only watched and did not interrupt, but Yan Mo passed down through Wu Chen a set of rules dealing with all kinds of trivial matters, so that they can refer to them and ask their comrades-in-arms or superiors if they don't understand them, giving leaders at all levels sufficient time to learn, make mistakes, correct and run-in.
Although it was a bit messy at first, the rules were there, and every ten people had a leader. Once something happened, it could be handled immediately. According to the seriousness of the matter, as long as it was reported layer by layer, it would always be solved. Slowly, everything in the Jiu Yuan was on track.
Five regiments, Zheng took the first regiment to live in the barracks under the city wall in the north of the outer city. Male warriors and female warriors were separated by the city gates and lived on the left and right sides. Child warriors and female warriors lived on the same side.
Zhang the Second Regiment Commander moved into barracks on both sides of the west side of the outer city wall. Bué’s Third Regiment moved into the barracks south of the Outer City.
On the east side of the Jiu Yuan city, there is no outer wall, the land is directly connected with the Qingyuan Lake. Meng's Fourth Regiment barracks are arranged in the southeastern corner, and Shen-Gu's Fifth Regiment is arranged in the northeastern corner. The Mermaid did not say anything about it. The open space on the east side was quite large. The two regiments occupied only two corners, and they did not build barracks near the lake.
The Dwarfs panicked because they felt like they were surrounded by the warriors of The Jiu Yuan.
As the Jiu Yuan People grew stronger and stronger, the Dwarfs couldn't help wondering: How will they get along with the Jiu Yuan People in the future?
One of the wishful dwarfs suggested that they should join the Jiu Yuan together. There are so many people.
But most of the dwarves, especially the dwarfs, are worried and considered the issue of migration very carefully.
While it was not long before winter, several dwarves joined a group of relatively strong warriors and sent them out to find a suitable place to live nearby. Although they wanted to leave The Jiu Yuan, they did not want to go too far away from The Jiu Yuan.
Everyone is not a fool. Jiu Yuan has such a priest and such a powerful chief. As long as the tribe is not dispersed, it will be upgraded to upper city and become a member of the Three Cities. They the dwarfs can benefit directly and indirectly from their proximity. Besides, the rules of the Jiu Yuan are really good, especially the rule that no slaves are allowed. They are comfortable staying nearby. At least they don't have to worry about going out to hunt prey and worry that when they come back, they will find that their children have been caught and sold.
Ten days after the conference, the whole city of The Jiu Yuan had become orderly.
And the agitation and tension that has been floating over the city of The Jiu Yuan seems to have been blown away by the wind, people... Whether old or new, even the 300 slaves brought by Duo Fei, most of them look calm and full of expectations for the future.
Yuan Zhan visited each of the five regiments on the first day of their official operation.
After that, Yuan Zhan, as the first combat coach, appeared in front of the warriors of the major legions.
Yuan Zhan's strength in the training ground has impressed everyone.
Yan Mo is the best. He put big classes and attends them every five days. For a long time, everyone thought he was telling stories.
And Yan Mo is really telling stories, based on his disciples and students. What he wants to teach them is the knowledge and experience that the savages have never had before, and stories are the best way to spread change in this era.
Needless to say, Yan Mo's class became everyone's favorite one. Every time he had a big class, not only the Jiu Yuan People, but also the dwarfs and mermaids would rush in, and even three snakes would not fail to attend.
They can always hear all kinds of strange things in their Priest Da-Ren's mouth. Sometimes the stories are about two battles, how the weak can join together and defeat the strong, how the spiritual beast repays the kindness of saving the prey, how parents should treat their children or their relatives, and how warriors should help each other in danger.
Shortly afterwards, Yan Mo promulgated new regulations.
Firstly, both warriors and students, leaders and ordinary people, are required to take one day off every five days. The total length of training, work and study per day is eight hours. Warriors and those responsible for defense take rotational rest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSecond, they should open an inner tribal market once every ten days, two days at a time.
Thirdly, tribal people are allowed to buy tribal single houses in arrears. If they want to build their own houses, they need to submit their applications to the picket group first. The style, materials and scale of the houses should be in accordance with the tribal requirements.
For the convenience of management, the urban defense construction was temporarily placed under the picket group.
The Jiu Yuan People ran to tell each other about it.
"Rest day? What is that?"
"You just don't have to do anything. You can arrange all the day activities how you want."
"No work? None for a day? No training? Not studying, either? How do we do this? "
"Why not? Priest Da-Ren says yes, then that's fine."
Someone interposed: "I think the rest day is very good, you can go to the market stall, you can go out to play with your family and friends, whatever you want to do." action
"Da-Ren said that apart from the stipulated rest days, we are all allowed to go home at 18 p.m. on weekdays. The child will be home at! 2 hours earlier."
"Go home... Those Awu Tribesmen are living great. They all have houses in the inner city."
"If we want it, we can have it. Didn’t the leaders say that a house in the inner city can be bought for ten to twenty adult cattle, depending on the size and location of the house? It's cheaper outside the city, as long as it's five to ten adult cattle you can have one house.”
"So many cows, when are we going to get them? It's better to be casual and live in the arranged barracks...”
"I want a stone house! How beautiful is the stone house? Can you build it by yourself? Besides, I heard from The Awu Tribesmen and Jiu Yuan that they too buy houses in exchange for cattle, but they came early and most of the houses are built by them, so they need to pay fewer cattle. I heard that there will be new people joining The Jiu Yuan in the future, and the house payment will need more cattle."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have cattle, Chief Da-Ren said that if you work for the tribe for more than five years, you can get a house in the outer city."
"But before we were bought as slaves, we owed ourselves to the tribe, and we have to work for the tribe for five years."
"Together, it's only ten years! Anyway, we are going to spend the rest of our life in this tribe. Even if we are slaves, let's not talk about the no beating, no starving days and a good stone house, back then we had to work every day, from early to midnight, and we cannot get enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and we will still get beaten. Maybe we will be killed. This is a whole new life! "
Several young warriors did not stop nodding. One of them said, "Even in our original tribe, we all have to work and fight every day? Neither did the clan say they will build us a house, nor did they provide us with leather and weapons, nor did they say of taking a day off every five days, nor did they did they say that after a few years later we will be allowed the fixed share of the clan things, they also gave us nothing."
Everyone was silent, and for a while someone muttered, "Yes, today life is good. I didn't realize that the Jiu Yuan really had no slaves. Now we live well and eat well. Although we have to work and fight, it's all for ourselves. Priest Da-Ren also lets people teach us all kinds of knowledge that the only the priest know, to be honest. Now, even if I were asked to go back to the original tribe, I would not go back."
The leaders reported the people emotions and reactions layer by layer, and finally summarized them in front of Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan.
"Everything is going in the right direction, huh?" Yan Mo breathed out, fearing that it was too early to offer those benefits.
Yuan Zhan, "Next year it will be better."
"Just don't know if we have time to grow slowly." Yan Mo looks out of the window.
The time on Wen Tian Sun and Moon dial was September 12th, the tribal summer was over, the short autumn was too fast to see the tail, and the cold spell of early winter was approaching from the north.
Has anyone who came out looking for The Fruit of Witchcraft been led away by their false clues?
Tianqiancheng-Heaven City's messengers and battalions have entered Duo Fei Tribe recently. When will they come to "visit" The Jiu Yuan?
On that very day, the warriors sent by the Dwarfs to find a new place of residence sent back a great news that has affected the future generations of The Dwarfs, and even completely changed their way of life!
