Chapter 240 The Beginning of Private Ownership

Clothes not only keep warm, but more importantly, they can make human beings feel ashamed and play a pivotal role in establishing ethical relationships.

From the day he made the clothes, Wang Lang wore the clothes every day, and gradually the clothes became a status symbol.

Lin Huo and the others also wanted to make a dress that was the same as Wang Lang's, but Wang Lang did not agree.

Cloth is a very crucial step in his private ownership plan.

After everyone saw the gorgeous clothes, the women's enthusiasm for weaving increased a lot. Soon after, with more and more cloth, Wang Lang was also preparing to start his own system reform.

During this period, Wang Lang ordered the workers to use bricks to build a very spacious and beautiful house in the eyes of the tribe.

Wang Lang intends to use this house as a primitive trading post, where all the tribal materials are gathered for sale. This model is very similar to the model of supply and marketing cooperatives before the reform and opening up, a small state-owned supermarket.

It took half a month to build this trading post, and Wang Lang put some of the tribe's food, meat, and various animal skins and cloths into it.

With the commodity, the rest is the most critical money.

As for what to use as money, Wang Lang referred to ancient currency and planned to use copper coins, copper coins with tin added.

Wang Lang didn't think much about the style of the copper coin, it was a very common copper coin with a square hole. As long as this kind of coin was strung together with a rope, it would be easier to carry.

After getting everything ready, it has taken almost a month.

On this day, Wang Lang summoned all the leaders of the tribe, including those from the side of the river.

All the important people are gathered together, which is a very rare thing since the creation of the tribe.

These leaders gathered in the square where the tribal discussions were held, talking in low voices. No one knew what Wang Lang was going to announce when he called these people together so solemnly this time.

With the appearance of Wang Lang, everyone became quiet, looking towards Wang Lang with their eyes.

Wang Lang glanced at the crowd, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he sat down on the wooden pier and said, "I have called you here today because I have something important to announce."

"Boss, are you going to conquer other tribes?" the warlike Bark asked excitedly.

Wang Lang shook his head and said, "This time it's not a war, but something else. Don't worry, listen to me slowly."

Everyone waited curiously for Wang Lang's next words.

"For a long time, everything in our tribe has been shared by everyone, but this situation has great disadvantages. Before that, our food and supplies were seriously insufficient. This disadvantage was not obvious, but now our corn is full of crops. We have built several granaries, and food is no longer our problem. However, after the food is sufficient, I found that the tribe members began to show signs of laziness. If things go on like this, our tribe will be in a very dangerous state." Wang Lang Said slowly.

People frowned, thinking carefully about Wang Lang's words, the problem that they hadn't realized before, after Wang Lang said this, everyone also realized this problem.

Not to mention ordinary tribesmen, even they themselves have lost the motivation they once had. They, who have no worries about eating and drinking, now spend most of their time doing nothing. The soldiers may still train, but compared with before, their state There is also a lot of difference.

"Boss, there's nothing to worry about. If anyone doesn't work, just give him a beating." Kong Yi said disapprovingly.

"One person can fight, but dozens and hundreds of people don't work. Can you arrest them? They are all our clansmen and not slaves. Their lives are protected by the tribe. No one has the right to execute them privately." , now we have a small population, and in the future the number of people will be several times that of the present, how should we manage it.”

After Wang Lang finished speaking, Kong Yi fell silent. He had never thought about this problem at all, and he didn't know how to solve it.

"Then what can you do?" Wu Yun asked.

"I plan to abolish the tribal distribution system." Wang Lang said surprisingly.

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, and Wu Yun said quickly: "Boss, the distribution system has been abolished. What will the clansmen eat and drink?"

Hearing the objections from the crowd, Wang Lang waved his hands and said, "Everyone be quiet, I naturally thought of a solution by doing this."

Hearing that there was a solution, everyone fell silent, and Wu Yun asked, "What are you going to do?"

Wang Lang took out a copper coin from his belt and said, "This is my solution."

Everyone stared at the copper coins for a long time, but they were all at a loss as to what Wang Lang wanted to do.

"Boss, this seems to be made of copper. What's the use of this thing?" Kong Er asked.

"This thing is called a copper coin. With this thing, you can exchange for the materials you need. For example, a hundred of these copper coins can be exchanged for the clothes on my body." Wang Lang said slowly.

"Can this thing be exchanged for clothes?"

Everyone asked in disbelief.

Wang Lang nodded and said: "That's right, I will gather the tribe's supplies and distribute some copper coins to everyone in the tribe. With this copper coin, you can exchange what you need in the newly built trading station, but this copper coin is just This is the first time it is issued, and if you want to get more copper coins, you need to exchange your own labor."

"Then what if someone can't get copper coins, then he will have nothing, so let him starve to death?" Wu Yun asked a very serious question.

Wang Lang smiled and said: "I have already considered this matter. For example, the disabled clansman and the elderly who cannot work, these tribes will arrange for them to do some work that they can do, and they will not starve to death. I can only keep myself alive, and if I want to live a better life, I can only work hard.”

After listening to it, Wu Yun thought about it carefully, and said, "This is indeed a solution. In this way, the enthusiasm of the clansmen to work will be greatly improved."

"Leader, are the copper coins we leaders received the same as ordinary clansmen?" Kong Yi asked.

"You will get more money than ordinary people, but you can't get copper coins from other places privately. I will distribute them to you people and soldiers every two full moons. If I find anyone who violates this rule, Don't blame me for not remembering old love." Wang Lang warned.

One of the disadvantages of private ownership is that it will lead to corruption among those who enjoy power. Wang Lang hates this and does not want this to happen when he is in power.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and quickly assured Wang Lang.
