Chapter 118 Two Solutions

The ancient Chinese people were very concerned about hair and beards, and they regarded long and thick as beauty. Especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, noble men had to comb their hair and knead their hair every day and carefully take care of their beards. They even reached a pervert, and they would be sad for a long time if they lost a hair and beard.

But this habit gradually formed during the Zhou Dynasty with the rise of etiquette. In fact, when it was even older, the Chinese did not have the traditions and habits of their parents.

The only reason for long is that there are no sharp tools to cut it short.

Especially for ordinary people, after thousands of years of history of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, bronze smelting has gradually reached its peak, but metal knives are not popular among the ordinary peasant class, but high-end luxury goods that only nobles can enjoy and possess.

Therefore, for ordinary people, cutting hair is also a luxury.

Coupled with the influence of feudal etiquette, the habit and tradition of raising hair and keeping beards gradually formed.

But at present, these primitive people have no such concept at all.

Their hair and beards are the reason for their natural growth, and are purely a habit formed in helplessness. Even if there is trouble, it cannot be shortened, so no one has ever thought of shortening it.

After getting up every day, I habitually pull the sides of my hands a few times and I have finished it. It is a very primitive animal habit, just like the first concept of cats licking hair and dogs tickling itch.

And it is limited to the front of the forehead, so when you look at these savages, most of them have decent hair on both sides of their faces, and the back of their heads is like a big chicken coop that explodes, with both uniform and strange shapes.

Hair oil does not exist. Primitive people work all year round and have very little fat in food, so they have very little body fat. In addition, the salt is low and the nutrition is unbalanced, so there is almost no oil in the hair, but there are many lice and fleas.

Although Xu Chen was used to cutting his hair short before traveling, the savage body inherited the habit of hair all over his body after traveling. He was not opposed to having long hair all day long, so he didn't even think about getting a haircut for himself.

But it's not too late to think about it today.

This makes it feel much cooler and more comfortable.

Looking at the strange short hair of three and a half-grown men, a group of women laughed and laughed for a while before going back to continue to comb their hair and tie the embroidery, preparing to seduce foreign men for the upcoming Old Mother Day.

The remaining few adult men who were in charge of the house seemed to think that Xu Chen and the other two had a cleaner and more comfortable hair, so they asked for help to shorten their hair. So Xu Chen had to transform into Tony again, swung the stone axe and fire charcoal, and began another round of hair cutting projects.

...

Beautifying a group of aunts is just Xu Chen’s temporary creativity.

Things like embroidery and hair tied are not related to the rise and fall of the tribe.

In fact, in his opinion, it would be useless even if the younger women in the tribe were dressed up in a magnificent manner. After all, there are only so many people, one carrot and one pit. If there are too many men, it will bring various contradictions.

He thought about it. If the tribe is really growing, there are only two ways at present.

One is to gather other tribes into joining them by force, but this method will destroy the current blood relationship. Mo Ba and a group of women will definitely not agree. Forced activation will inevitably lead to irreconcilable contradictions.

Therefore, this method does not work for the time being.

But he thinks the second method is still very promising.

The Wu tribe has a great family and great business, and there will definitely be many conflicts among the tribe. The Ba tribe is actually a family divided from the Wu tribe. It has similar blood ties to all the internal ethnic groups of the Wu tribe. As long as you have sufficient strength and excellent conditions, it is very likely to attract several families from the Wu tribe to surrender.

Of course, doing so will definitely cause severe conflicts with the Ukrainian tribe, and will also cause internal relations to become complicated, but it can quickly increase the tribal population without violating tribal inheritance and blood structure.

If one or two hundred people can be seduced from the Ukrainian tribe, then the Ba tribe will have enough strength to expand its territory, and even completely swallow the Ukrainian tribe in one bite, forming a super tribe again.

As for the remaining tribes that are not related much, they can be combined through a closer form of alliance.

At present, the loose alliance formed by six tribes of all sizes centered on the Wu tribe is simply combined with the prestige of the Great Witch, and it has no binding force and is actually of little significance.

Once the great witch dies and there is no new great witch that is enough to be admired by all tribes, this loose alliance may fall apart.

Therefore, Xu Chen has no good idea for the new tribal alliance.

I can only hope that the Ba people will develop quickly enough, and use their special abilities to gather the faith power to replace the great witches and gather these tribes together again.

However, in order to form the new style of unification tribes that he wanted without blood ties and races, there was still great resistance. At least we had to solve the problem of food and clothing. Otherwise, all tribes would still be busy with two meals a day and spending winter and spring. Without any extra time and strength to develop the military and economy, this plan would not be successful.

In other words, these two plans are actually the same, but the time sequence is different. First, rely on blood ties to strengthen strength, and then forcefully integrate through force.

But this will inevitably destroy the tribal structure of maternal blood ties, and what follows will be a complete destruction of the inheritance of this maternal clan.

This is a disruptive change.

Although the development of human civilization will inevitably take this step, it is still a relatively troublesome thing to reduce chaos and make it acceptable to all tribes.

One is to directly form a new tribal structure based on paternal blood ties.

One is to form a more complex political structure in the form of parliament.

Relying on patriarchal blood relationship to strengthen rule is the simplest and most in line with the development of human civilization. However, if you want to form a close tribal relationship, you must open up the harem, marry many tribe women, have many sons, and then manage different tribes separately.

When Xu Chen couldn't help but tremble when he thought that he would sleep with many female savages who didn't like taking a bath and were wearing fur skirts all day long.

“Wow!”

"Gaga, water comes out!"

Just as Xu Chen stood next to the big pit where the well was dug, he was full of confusion, thinking about whether he was marrying many terrible savages in the harem, or being the speaker of an alliance parliament, the strange screams of Gu Heju's surprise and excitement came from the pit.

Xu Chen came to his senses and quickly looked down. Sure enough, he saw a small puddle appearing at the bottom of the pit after digging a large stone.

When I heard the well dug out water, a group of men and women working were all rushing to watch. A group of children playing with monkeys and little wolfs at the door were also roaring and roaring over, jumping and screaming around the edge of the pit.

However, this excitement lasted for a short time and disappeared.

Because the bottom of the pit did not appear like a spring water, but only a little bit of water splashed, so after watching it for a while, everyone left in groups of three or three with disappointment on their faces.

Xu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already watered just after digging about three meters, which was almost exactly the same as his initial prediction.

The source of groundwater is the riverbed. Under the pressure of soil, sand and gravel several meters deep, the hollowed-out position of the well will form a weak pressure zone. As long as the well wall is tightened, the water level will slowly rise. As for how high it can be raised, it depends on the pressure of the river surface water level.

According to the water level of the river in front of you, it is estimated that it can be half a meter to one meter deep. There should be no big problem with water in spring and summer, but it is definitely not enough for autumn and winter.

If you want this well to have water all year round, it is best to dig at least half a meter down.

So Xu Chen loudly reminded Gu Heju and the others to continue digging down.

After working hard for more than ten days, the water was finally dug out. Gu Heju and the others were also very excited and excited, so they tried hard to continue digging down.

After digging sand and gravel after starting to permeate, it is obviously much easier to dig sand and gravel than dry digging. Listening to the sound of turbulently below, a vine basket filled with sand and gravel was quickly lifted from the bottom of the pit by two men who helped.

The water dripped from the vine basket and dripped Gu Heju, who was working underground, soaked all over.

Although Xu Chen felt a little sad.

However, the two of them had no complaints at all. Instead, they felt that it was easy to dig and they worked even harder.

"What a couple of good comrades!"

Xu Chen stood at the entrance of the pit, looking at this huge pit that was like an open trumpet, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

In order to dig this well, the two dug out dozens of cubic cubic meters of soil, sand and gravel, as well as hundreds of large and small stones, which are now piled up half of the courtyard.

When the well was dug, the two of them had to fill the sand, stone and soil back.

In the era before traveling, if this seemingly huge project was made with professional well drilling equipment, it would probably take only half an hour to complete. Even if there was no large equipment, it would be done with a pickaxe, and the two of them would probably be completed in just two days.

But at the moment, the two of them had worked together for half a month.

This is the inefficiency caused by the backward tool.

When you dig this depth, there are countless damaged wooden hoes and stone hoes and broken wooden sticks, and a lot of them will be damaged every day.
