Chapter 166 Divine Right of Kings

"I'm not going to teach. Do you want us women to be virtuous?" Zhang Yutong protested.

"Rain tong elder sister, you to fly elder brother not be three condescension four virtues?" "You are so traditional yourself, why should you fight for equality for other women?" she teased.

"I can't do anything wrong." Zhang Yutong angrily raised his hand and hit him once: "I didn't like your home according to weave, go out to see off, go home bow."

"In our Country, it is the same." Original cane according to weave hurriedly explain.

Zhang Yutong does not follow, begin to do ideological work to her.

I patted the table, and a few people didn't do anything.

"Nothing else matters. Here's one you've all heard of... Divine right of Kings." I said, "There is no God."

Li Ding's eyeball turned leisurely a circle and said: "I understand, fly elder brother. We should make it clear to everyone that your leader is a son of Heaven. Above the chief, there is only God, and the rest is bullshit."

I laughed.

"Then you say so, this I understand." Zhang Yutong was suddenly enlightened.

"Leave it to us." "Said Lucie confidently.

"Tomorrow I'm going to call a meeting of the people and I'm going to talk things through in the tribe. Then you can do as you please."

All three women nodded.

"Fly elder brother, I also feel cheng Shu today do a bit too much." "After all, you are our leader," Said Li Ding. "He treats himself like a god. When the people in the tribe listen to him, our tribe cannot become a church. I don't like that environment."

"Uncle Cheng was a good man and contributed a lot to the tribe. Don't talk nonsense. You two go home and rest." I called.

After they left, two women dragged me to a bed with them, and since neither of them knew much about Confucianism, asked me to explain it to them.

I liked history, so I knew more about it, and I kept explaining it to them until midnight.

I did choose to do this partly out of selfish fear that Cheng would take my place in the tribe. In fact, this is human nature, the sages can not tolerate encroachment, let alone we common people.

In addition, I was also worried that Lao Cheng would become more interested in the pursuit of spiritual leadership and propagandize religious ideas in the tribe.

He's a soft-hearted, good-natured man. If everyone in the tribe listens to him. In the face of sinister things, his kindness and tenderness will bring some disasters to our tribe instead. After all, we live in the same environment as in primitive times. In such an environment, kindness often equates with softness.

And if his position rises too high, we will become more and more conflicted with each other, which will cause the tribe to fall apart. The struggle for power is secondary. A small tribe, after all, doesn't have much power to claim. The point is that there is a gap between our ideas. My strong and cruel treatment of the enemy was a crime in Lao Cheng's eyes.

But if we do not commit this crime, we will become the victims of others' crimes.

At breakfast I summoned all my own men to the Council chamber. There was a brick-piled chieftain's chair, covered with skins, and two rows of wooden chairs on the front steps. Behind wooden chairs on either side are dozens of benches.

As everyone began to take their seats, I said, "The construction of our tribe is almost complete. But if the tribe is to survive and prosper, we must do some education..."

"Don't worry about it. Leave it to me." Lao Cheng volunteered.

I smiled and said, "Uncle Cheng, you are a great intellectual, but it is not appropriate for you to teach basic knowledge. My idea is to let Zhang Yutong and several other women to lecture, every evening after everyone down, talk for one or two hours. As for children, they need to be taught more systematically. You can go to school half a day."

"That also line, superficial things let them a few wenches tell." Cheng agreed.

I nodded: "again, again lead a few days, the land also reclaimed of almost, I think we are the time to give points home. And set up an administrative system to keep the tribe running. From now on, we'll do everything by the book."

"Are you going to give us an official title?" Cui bin asked with a smile.

"Someone has to be in charge." I pointed to Lucie and Old Cheng: "Uncle Cheng, please work hard again, and lucie together to do a good census of the population, establish a household registration. Then we distribute houses and land according to population."

After the two men agreed, I asked Cui Bin to select 20 men as the regular army of the tribe, who would be responsible for the security and public security management of the tribe.

"Then give me a reason." Cui Bin said, stroking his chin.

"Lu Fei." Lao Cheng smiled and said, "You can give in to his wishes. Today, you can clarify our duties."

"All right." The tribe has only 200 people, so it doesn't have to work very hard to prepare. As the chief, I directly appoint the management, which is also an important way to show the chief's authority.

"First arrange Cui Bin, you serve as the tribal security and public security officer, specific, zhebie is responsible for public security, muka is responsible for patrol."

"No problem." Cui Bin nodded.

I then assigned: "Cheng Shu to assist me in the management of some tribal specific work."

"Then I'm the prime minister." "Cheng laughed, a little self-deprecating.

"You can understand it that way." His vanity must be satisfied.

"The civil aspects, such as household registration and marriage registration, are handled by Li Ding and Iori Harto."

"Fly brother." Li Ding some not happy: "this call what official ah, you let me manage some actual bai."

"I thought for a moment:" So, after the tribe of taxes under your management, Wuwa responsible for assisting you.

"This will do." Li Ding laughed.

I turned to Look at Luci and Zhang Yutong: "You two in addition to responsible for basic education, but also to do logistics work, the tribe's material reserves, weapons reserves, are under the two of you. That's barely enough. If there's anything else the tribe needs to list, we'll set up new duties."

"Oba, don't I have to do anything?" Li Yunna asked, smiling and raising her hand.

"Right, right, right." Lao Cheng quickly said, "You have to make some arrangements for our girl."

"You..." I once really can't think of how to arrange her: "Otherwise, you do assistant for Uncle Cheng?"

"Forget it." "She doesn't like to learn, and I'm too lazy to teach her."

"What do you want to do for yourself?" I don't know, the tribe is so big, there are not so many things to manage.

Li Yunna HMMM along while, suddenly thought of what: "I give Oba you do assistant."

"I don't need an assistant." Finish this sentence I regret, there has been no opportunity and Li Yunna close contact, she took the initiative to, BUT I refused.

"Forget it, then." Li Yunna lost to sit back.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, I couldn't change my words immediately, so I had to put her arrangement aside.

After arranging the duties, I asked them to stand up one by one and introduce their future duties to the aborigines, so that they understood which aspects of problems they encountered in the future and which person they should turn to for solutions.

Then they were dismissed. When we were alone, Cui Bin asked when we were going to solve the problem of the big tribes.

"As soon as the tribesmen are all settled." The great tribes would no longer dare to challenge them, to attack them sooner or later.

"Lu Fei, I have another suggestion." Old Cheng leaned back in his chair and said, "Let's build a temple on the square in order to better civilize the indigenous people."

"The temple? For whom?" I didn't realize cheng was so desperate for spiritual leadership.

"A god, of course." "With faith," Cheng continued, "these people will have awe in their hearts. They can truly transform from barbarians into civilized people like us."

At this I sighed, for I was already a savage.

"Cheng Shu, temple of things I see or forget it." Li Ding said, "If all our people become peaceful and gentle, no one will have the heart to kill anyone if they are attacked again. Do you want to reason with the enemy?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. No matter how primitive they are, they're still human. We respond to them with reason, move with emotion, and maybe even win over more people with kindness." Old Cheng argued his case.
