Chapter 313 Medal of Merit, Expansion of New City
After returning to the Xia tribe, Wang Wei and the Xia tribe warriors were welcomed like heroes.
Especially Wang Wei, under his leadership, the Xia tribe warriors who attacked the Pan tribe this time were injured very few.
After this battle, the Xia tribe's status in this great wasteland became more stable.
The people who attacked the Pan tribe this time defined them as second-class slaves of the Xia tribe; those who surrendered under Shi Yun's persuasion defined them as first-class slaves of the Xia tribe; and those who took the initiative to follow Hui, Xia Zhong, and Hun joined the Xia tribe, Wang Wei exempted them from their slave status.
In addition, when attacking the Pan tribe, all the slaves of the Xia tribe were promoted to the first level. Wang Wei's actions turned many slaves of the Xia tribe into Xia tribe people and got rid of their slave status, which is something worth celebrating.
He had no way to suppress others, and the slaves who were promoted had already endured a lot of hardships and fatigue, and had made great efforts to build the city wall of the Xia tribe. He wanted to transform a group of slaves into Xia tribe people, so that new slaves could see hope and hope.
This time, the promotion of the slaves was a good reward, but the people from other Xia tribes did not have any rewards, especially the hunting group, who contributed the most and were the bravest.
The Xia tribe implemented public ownership. Regarding rewards, they may not have realized this yet. They thought that defeating the enemy was something worth celebrating, and it was also a reward.
Wang Wei was in trouble with this matter, and he needed to find a way to motivate the people of the Xia tribe.
However, he did not want to use material rewards, and there were not many Xia tribes, so he had to use glory to reward them to enhance their prestige in Xia tribe. And let them realize the preciousness of honor, and everyone should have a sense of honor. In the future, as the number of Xia tribe increases, we should promote and reward people who have made outstanding contributions, and we can use honor to inspire them.
However, he didn't want to use material rewards, and there were not many Xia tribes.
Therefore, Wang Wei should reward him with glory to enhance their prestige in the Xia tribe. He also made them realize the preciousness of honor, and everyone should have a sense of honor.
In addition, if the Xia tribe continues to grow and the number of people increases, it will become another system. For example, it may evolve into slavery. Perhaps, the tribe will also be upgraded to a state. Subsequently, from public ownership to private ownership, people will also exist in families.
These are Wang Wei’s lofty goals. Whether it can be achieved depends on the subsequent development of the Xia tribe.
The first thing to do about honor is to encourage and promote it with medals, certificates, banners, etc. This kind of thing is not vulgar, but it is very important for the Xia tribe people, because only in the process of promoting themselves and reminding themselves can the Xia tribe people know who they are and what honor is.
The certificate and pennant have no materials and cannot be made for the time being.
Then there are only medals left. Medals are made of copper or gold, but the Xia tribe has not found gold mines at present, only copper is made of copper.
The first thing he thought of was to classify medals, such as medals of honor, military medals, and labor medals, and then each medal was divided into subcategories below.
This is just that, and it will take time from design to manufacturing.
...
When Wang Wei was thinking about it, grassroots came to him.
What makes the grassroots embarrassed is how to arrange those slaves? How to live? Where to wait.
In fact, everyone can be occupied in Xiacheng, but Wang Wei doesn't want those slaves to get it for nothing.
"The wooden fence we lived in was still there, and the houses inside were there, but let them live there."
The grassroots asked in confusion: "What should they do if they escaped tonight?"
Wang Wei said: "We have to send people to patrol at night. If we really escape, they will not escape. The cold weather now will make them understand what difficulties are."
"What will they do?"
"There are still some houses to be built in the inner city. Can they be arranged to do their work?"
"King, it doesn't take so many people to build the inner city. I'm thinking, it's better to build it in a wooden fence."
“What to build?”
"Or build a city wall."
Wang Wei did not react at first, but later he realized that the grassroots wanted to expand the city wall. He thought that the city wall of the Xia tribe was already big enough? It was indeed not big. Wang Wei's previous new city planning was to build a solid fortress as soon as possible to get rid of the insecurity of Muzha Company's information.
There are many people in the Xia tribe now. Before it snows, everyone engages in physical labor. This can not only exercise a person's physical strength, but also enhance a person's willpower, allowing him to develop a good style of hard work and endure hardships.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.
"How big is the city wall to be built?"
"We live in such a big wall now."
The grassroots idea is that there are not many days to build the inner city of Xia Tribe, and a large amount of manpower will be left after completion, so it is impossible for the current slaves to leave them idle.
Wang Wei was worried that once construction started again, more manpower and material resources would be needed. He was also preparing to reclaim the land and plant rice next year. However, it is also beneficial to build the fence of the new city wall now. Now it is mainly animals raised by the Xia tribe. The new city cannot accommodate them at all, and is also preparing to kill a group of animals to eat meat.
This is the limitation of the development of the Xia tribe. The Xia tribe is too weak, so you must be careful of people from outside attacking them at any time.
Cao Ming also came at this time, so Wang Wei asked him for his opinion.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ming and Cao Root had the same opinion. It seemed that they had already agreed and finally made a report to Wang Wei and asked him to make a decision.
Cao Ming means that the Xia tribe has some fixed assets outside the city. If there are people from outside attacking the Xia tribe, such as pottery kilns, woodworking workshops, iron smelting workshops, breeding farms outside the city, they will be affected. If another city is built and connected to the current city, these fixed assets can be protected.
Wang Wei believes that what he said makes sense, and expanding the city has great benefits. However, Cao Ming wants to build a larger city wall and his ambitions are very great.
Now, the Xia tribe has a safe city wall, and the expanded city wall is not as urgent as before. In addition, the Xia tribe now has more population than when it was originally built, and the construction tools are ready-made, so the speed of building cities will be faster.
The Xia Tribe’s reclaim plan can only be carried out next year. If the expanded new city is not completed, construction can also be suspended.
So, Wang Wei agreed to the plan, but required the re-planning and construction of the city wall.
After the city wall is expanded, the pottery kiln, iron smelting workshop and woodworking workshop can be included in the city.
By doing this, the expanded city has at least a length of 2,000 meters. This is not a simple expansion, but a similar way to building a new city in an inner city.
Now the new city built by the Xia tribe is 600 meters long and 300 meters wide, and the direction of the city gate is 300 meters. Wang Wei suggested that it is best to build 700 meters along the 300 meters direction, and the width is 600 meters, which is equal to the existing city wall. In this way, the expanded city wall will become 1,000 meters long and 600 meters wide, and it is still a rectangular city. And only a city wall with a total length of 2,000 meters is needed, which is comparable to the original city wall, but the area in the city has been expanded by more than three times.
A city of such a large scale is not big or small, and it will also house many people. As well as the Xia tribe, it can build more factories, warehouses, etc. in the future.
He also told Caogencao that as the territory of the Xia tribe expanded, it would not live in one place, and would build cities in other places in the future, so a city might not be full of people.
Things are finalized.
However, Wang Wei re-arranged the work of Caogen Caoming. Because the Xia tribe has too many people and too complicated affairs, Wang Wei used to solve it in one sentence but his energy was limited.
The new grassroots task is mainly responsible for the daily affairs management of the Xia tribe and the construction of the houses in Xiacheng. After completion, it will withdraw from the construction of the city.
Cao Ming was specifically responsible for expanding the city wall, reporting to Wang Wei for any matter, or asking everyone to solve the problem at the meeting.
Grassroots Caoming, who had received the new mission, left happily.
However, Wang Wei did not feel relaxed like that, because he was going to build a city again and there were new members in the tribe, which meant that food demand would increase, but subsequent food sources were a problem.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Shi Yun brought a group of people to find him.
The group of people were from the Zhi tribe. After their leader died, there was no leader now. They found Shi Yun because Shi Yun had been to the Zhi tribe several times and they were more familiar with her.
So Shi Yun took them to find Wang Wei.
Shi Yun said that the Zhi tribe's people were willing to join the Xia tribe, which was what Wang Wei guessed at the beginning. Even if they did not join the Xia tribe, Wang Wei would find a way to get them to join.
After the Zhi tribe and the Ma tribe came to the Xia tribe, they learned about the wealth and strength of the Xia tribe, especially when they learned that the Xia tribe's city walls could resist foreign enemies and prevent Xia tribe from being hurt. The people of the Zhi tribe thought more, and they thought about the weakness and poverty of their own tribes and were bullied by other tribes. Therefore, they urgently needed to join a large tribe.
Wang Wei didn't think much about it. This was something he had already confirmed, so he agreed to join the Xia tribe.
In addition, for their leader being killed, they were arranged to Hun Zhongma Group, and Hun and Hui directly led them.
