"I know! We won't forget."

The children ran wildly and turned around and shouted, thinking that Brother Jian was talking nonsense. How could he forget to mow the grass and feed the piglets?

Chen Jian watched the children run away from a distance, feeling that when the children actually make the scale, he would tell them the principle of leverage.

For people with less developed abstract thinking, it is far better to have real objects and then talk about theory than to talk about theory first.

He sat for a while and the tribesmen who stayed at home surrounded him.

"Jian, how do you divide the food today? Grandma asked me to ask you."

After saying that, he pointed to the Shi tribe members who were sleeping under the straw hut. This was the main problem. Since the Huaihua tribe members chose to integrate, the Yousong tribe members were very clear about what to do, but they had never dealt with foreign tribes.

"You go find Yuqianer and ask her to share some dried fish for their tribe, and then lend them two large pottery pots and some pottery bowls. Let Yuqianer record how many pounds and give them back to us in the future."

"Borrow? Return? pounds?"

These three words made the tribe very confused. They were all family members before, and the things in the tribe were public, so there was no concept of this.

Chen Jian explained, and the tribesmen quickly understood and went to find Yuqianer.

But after a moment, Yuqianer ran over and asked, "Brother, what is behind Ninety-Nine?"

"one hundred."

"What about one more?"

"One hundred...uh, more than one hundred."

There is no concept of zero yet, so we can only use addition to replace it. Yuqianer said the word "Bai", and Dengdeng and Dengdeng went to scale the dried fish again.

The concept of borrowing and repaying must be established. If you treat everyone equally, Huaihua and others may have different thoughts. Since the other party has chosen to retain the tribe, it must bear the consequences of retaining the tribe.

By the evening, the people who had slept for a long time woke up. The Chen Jian people had already prepared supper. A few more skilled children knelt under the straw shed with chopsticks and bowls.

People from the Shi tribe need to cook their own food, and Yuqier wrote down what they had lent them on the stone slab.

More than 100 and thirty kilograms of dried fish, ninety kilograms of fresh fish, thirty kilograms of bacon, and five kilograms of salt. These are enough for the people of the Shi family to eat for two or three days, and the rest will be dependent on their own labor.

Chen Jian intentionally invited the elderly and children from the Shi tribe to come for dinner first, which was given away rather than borrowed.

The tribe members knelt on the sandy land. Several people learned to use chopsticks, while the rest held the bowl and grabbed it with their hands.

After the meal, Chen Jian gathered people from the two tribes together and said he wanted to discuss something.

"You all know what the Songhe tribe has experienced. What if the Meteorite tribe comes over? What if we want to steal our house and our pottery jars? You know, we are not the kind of tribe that has nothing but bones."

"Kan, what do you think you should do?"

"I think we need to prepare. Even the wolves need a leader. Now our tribes live together, and each has its own leader and patriarch for food and drink. But to fight, we still need a leader who is specifically responsible for the war."

The tribesmen below whispered and talked to each other, thinking that this was right. And according to Song, there were many people in the Meteorite tribe, and the two tribes could compete with each other. In order to fight, a leader must be chosen.

Chen Jian knocked on the pottery basin, calmed everyone down, and said, "I suggest that I be the leader who is responsible for war. What do you think?"

His own tribe members shouted: "Of course. It's you, Jian!"

People from the Shi tribe discussed it and unified their opinions. However, they had never encountered such self-recommendation before, and they were all public recommendations. I have never heard of anyone who took the initiative to stand up and be a part of it.

After all, Chen Jian passed Chen Jian's proposal as the military leader, Chen Jian called the women of the tribe and asked them to teach women from the Shi tribe to weave wicker baskets and how to use wicker baskets to catch fish.

Several women who were familiar with the process took them to the willow trees by the river to cut branches, and the men were called under the hills by Chen Jian.

The two tribes of light and strong men have nearly a hundred people, which is already a considerable force among the nearby tribes.

Nowadays, the battles between tribes are fierce, and whoever has more people can win.

Chen Jian knew that organization was far better than unorganized, and that the random killing and injury ratio was very close. Moreover, the Meteorite tribe had already started to use meteorite iron, so fighting so randomly would lead to a loss.

He can't fight and knows military tactics, so he can only grope for the sake of his life.

He called Wolf Pig and asked him to select fifteen good archers. In fact, all the people selected were their original tribe members. Huaihua tribe members could not shoot arrows at all, and the Shi tribe had no bows and arrows in their hands.

The remaining eighty people stood in a row. Chen Jian pointed to a big tree about two hundred meters away and said, "I heard the sound of my knocking on the tree later, and I ran to the other side to see who will run first."

He walked to the big tree, found a stick and knocked it hard, and the person on the other side ran towards this side frantically.

Usually, hunting depends on endurance, and this short-distance charge depends more on talent and explosive power. At only 200 meters, the crowd became a mess.

He stared at the thirty people who ran to the edge of the big tree first and called them aside. The more than fifty people who ran to the end were divided into the other side by him.

These people were panting and staring at Chen Jian with big eyes, not knowing what he was doing.

The first ones to run were some strong people, and the raccoon and the gray squirrel were also inside, as if recalling what happened on the top of the mountain, looking at each other with a smile, and laughing.

Chen Jian said: "You two groups of people will also choose their own leaders. Let's choose now. You must choose what everyone can trust. Your life will be in their hands in the future."

Although it is a choice, after all, there are more people in my tribe, so the two people selected are from my tribe.

Thirty people chose Song, and fifty people chose Lao Lao, all of whom were acquaintances.

Chen Jian was very satisfied with the result. He also expected it to be the result, so he stretched out two fingers and said, "The second thing is that we still have to discuss. What should we do if we fight with others and someone escapes? What should we do if someone doesn't listen to me?"

The old tribesmen had experience and shouted, "Just bring the eagle hair and carry the stones!"

Some people also shouted: "No, if you escape, you will be exiled to the tribe. How can you only carry stones?"

The newcomer didn't know how to carry stones or exile, so he quickly asked what it meant.

Chen Jian nodded and said, "That's it, the escaped people will be exiled to the tribe. If you don't listen to me, you will carry stones."

He knew that discipline was not achieved in one day, so he started with the simplest ones, let these people know the existence of discipline, and then slowly increase it. Now even if he took out a bunch of military laws, the tribesmen could not remember much for a while, so come step by step.

Jiang Song, uncle and Langpi called them to tell them tonight that they must recognize the people they are in charge of tonight and not make any mistakes. This is their task tonight.

"That's all? Everyone around me goes hunting with me, and I can recognize it even if I close my eyes."

The wolf skin felt it was very simple, but my uncle had a bitter face. Many of the more than 50 people he cared about were innocent faces, so he told him to remember everything, but he was afraid that it would not be until the moon rose.

Until the evening, Chen Jian finally remembered it all, and he didn't say how to fight. After confirming that he had all recognized it, he let everyone go to bed.

During the day the next day, Chen Jian disrupted the people of the two tribes and went fishing, hunting and gathering, which was also an opportunity for communication, and at the same time let the two tribes get to know each other.

Wolf Pea took the fifteen people out to hunt, and the rest were taken by Chen Jian to Hecha, a tributary of Caohe River, to block the Bazikou to fish.

He was shaking the birch bark boat and looking for a suitable location. He left twenty or thirty people in each river fort, and the rest continued to search.

Chen Jian told them that after catching fish, they put them in a covered wicker basket and soak the wicker basket in water, so that the fish can live longer, and the taste of the dried fish is really not very good.

After more than a dozen birch bark boats came back, they counted the number of fish by the river, more than 2,400 kilograms, which was enough for the tribe members to support them for five or six days.

After weighing, he quickly tied a rope to the willow basket and threw it into the river to soak it. The live fish inside kept fluttering and shaking.

A division was made according to the number of people in the fishing tribes. Others could not help with this matter. The number of people who should be assigned to the Shi tribes and let Yuqianer take care of them.

Although Yuqianer didn't understand division and thought it was magical, she would never question whether Chen Jian's calculation was correct. In her opinion, it must be right.

People from the Shi tribe couldn't understand it, but they had long been stunned by so many fish. The fish they had allocated were enough for the tribe to eat for a long time, which was simply unimaginable before.

In the afternoon, I continued to weave fish baskets and willow baskets at home. There were willow trees by the river. The old tribesmen were getting faster and faster, and the new tribesmen and foreign surnames were gradually getting familiar with each other.

In addition to weaving wicker baskets, Chen Jian also asked his tribe members to weave dozens of wicker shields. It is of course useless to encounter copper and iron swords, but it is better to deal with stone thieves and stone spears and axes.

In the future, we can continue to strengthen it after we have cowhide. Now let these people become familiar with this weapon first.

With the experience of weaving wicker baskets, weaving small shields is naturally familiar with the way. After weaving two layers of wickers, weaving them together with branches on the edges.

It is about one centimeter thick and a little heavy. Use a rope to wove a handle inside, which can be hung on the arm and cover half of the body.

Before the sun set, he called the men to the river beach. According to yesterday's allocation, it took nearly five minutes to divide it into three piles in a mess.

Aside Chen Jian was piled with a pile of woven shields, a few cloth bags filled with grass leaves, and a large pile of stone axes.

Put the cloth bag full of grass in the distance and stand it, telling Wolf Pi and others that they must shoot sixty arrows on the target every day before they can eat.

After drawing the distance, Wolf Skin took the man to shoot arrows, which made others feel itchy.

He handed the stone axe and shield to Song and asked him to share it with the thirty people. Chen Jian demonstrated how to hang such wooden shields. The tribesmen quickly learned it and thought it was such a good thing. They seemed to be afraid of the bows and arrows in the hands of Wolf Skin and others.

More than thirty people each had a stone axe and a willow shield. Several people had tried to fight with each other.

Chen Jian tied a willow shield on his arm, held a stone axe in his right hand, and shouted: "Don't make trouble now, watch!"

Looking at a small tree thirty or forty meters away, Chen Jian moved his shoulders, raised a willow shield to cover half of his body, and raised a stone axe.

With a roar, he ran with all his might and rushed towards the small tree. The tribesmen thought he was going to cut down the tree, but when Chen Jian rushed to the edge of the tree, he leaned his body, raised his willow shield on his shoulder, and rushed over with his body sideways.

The tree was shaking and a few leaves fell, and his arms were also a little numb.

The range of bows and arrows in this era is limited, and they are still lethal within a distance of thirty or forty meters. Once this distance is passed, it depends entirely on luck.

Now he has not found a horse. The thirty people selected were strong and talented. Chen Jian was preparing to train them into impact axe soldiers. He did not need to be too disciplined. He could ensure that he would launch three or five charges at a distance of thirty or forty meters in the future while wearing rattan armor and cowhide armor.

After running quickly, you can knock down a person by relying on the impact of your shoulders or disrupt the opponent's formation.

Once the formation is disrupted, as long as you cooperate well, you can form a local advantage, and the large troops behind you can expand the results and divide the enemy.
