Rebirth in America - Chapter 440

c439 the beginning of civilization

After the true god Alex left his world, time did not stop.

The defeated tribes fled one after another. Thousands of people were driven away by the victors, killed or captured. Many stubborn resisters had their heads looked at and then formed a hill. The rest of the people were treated as slaves and animals, bundled and brought back to the tribe, and then completed the integration procedures under a ceremony presided over by the wizard. They would soon forget the previous tribe and become part of the new tribe.

It was a matriarchal society, and after the war, the victors received the women and children of the losing tribes. That night, the screams of women rang out over the entire tribe. This was the winner exercising their mating rights. Various uncivilized behaviors are taking place, but in primitive society, it was so natural and harmonious.

The next day, the women who had been raped accepted their fate, integrated into the new tribe with peace of mind, and gradually gained status and power in the tribe by virtue of their status as women.

In primitive tribes, the power structure is very simple, consisting of tribal leaders, wizards and elders. This trinity combination becomes the highest ruling class of the tribe. Then they will lead all the tribal people downwards. The leader controls most of the military force and is equivalent to the warrior leader of the tribe.

The wizard has mastered the knowledge passed down by the tribe from generation to generation, and is responsible for communicating with heaven and leading the development of the tribe.

As for the elders, they are actually the grandmothers in the tribe. They are all mothers who have given birth to many children. Most of the so-called tribal warriors are their children. Just imagine, these old grandmothers can mate with hundreds of men throughout their lives, all year round. All in the process of childbirth.

In primitive societies, the more children a woman gave birth to, the higher her status. When she reaches a certain level, she will automatically become a grandmother and join the group of elders, responsible for ruling on tribal affairs. Just imagine, behind every grandmother who has many children and grandchildren. It is a powerful army. She relies on the natural privilege of childbirth and blood relationship to establish an unbreakable tribal status.

Sometimes, a particularly powerful grandmother-elder also doubles as a wizard. At that time, she had the greatest power. She who was in charge of a tribe was usually given mythology by future generations, and she became the prototype of characters like the Queen Mother of the West.

Knowledge and blood are constantly being accumulated and passed on. In the process, the World Tree has also collected enough information and gradually grown from a sapling to a small tree.

When it grew to the height of a person, the planets in the World Tree were also promoted, and gradually developed from a primitive society to a slave society.

The tribal power structure quickly collapsed and was replaced by a monarchy system. Initially, generations of tribal leaders wanted to start wars around them. Seizing the lands of all tribes in the river realm, his personal prestige reached its peak, and he took the opportunity to dissolve the Council of Elders, and then tried to compete for power in the hands of wizards.

Thus, the monarch became the spokesman of God on earth. Or just call yourself God! In earthly parlance, he is “Pharaoh”.

This change occurs naturally. Whenever a civilization can no longer provide more fresh information, the World Tree will intentionally or unintentionally guide changes in the social structure. Some changes succeeded, and some changes failed.

This social change led to the diffusion of civilized knowledge and the improvement of the accumulation and inheritance of civilization. If one person’s lifetime accumulation of knowledge is not streamlined, there is no way for another person to learn. It is even less possible to record them with things. It must be simplified before it can be spread to the world.

With the development of social technology, there are more ways for humans to master civilized knowledge, and various disciplines have been further refined, gradually becoming the cornerstone of the development of civilization.

Knowledge is power, but when human society developed into the feudal era, certain problems arose: “The nobles of various countries treasured knowledge and prevented it from being accessed by the people at the bottom.”

To a certain extent, doing so can make the country more stable and long-lasting, and make it easier for the ruling class to govern the people. However, it has led to the stagnation of the development of social civilization. If there is no solution, it is very likely to fall into a situation similar to the European Dark Ages.

World Tree has reached another development level. Stopped rapid growth.

After seeing such a situation, Alex said to himself: “There needs to be someone like Confucius!”

In normal times, he might choose a spokesperson from among humans. However, this time he planned to take action personally. As soon as an idea came to his mind, Alex landed in a clearing somewhere on the planet. He is not satisfied with continuing to observe civilization, but wants to personally change the civilization of this world.

Standing on the desolate and inhabited land, looking at the white clouds in the sky, and smelling the smell of earth and grass emanating from the loess mountains, Alex had an indescribable mood.

“Is this the world I created?”

In the past, he spent more time observing the world from a bird’s eye view, and all he saw were big scenes. More often than not, it’s just a glance when time flies by. Never before had the whole world been so clearly visible at such a close distance.

The dazzling sun hung in the sky, emitting a scorching light. Looking at the sparse small trees around, it seems so lonely and lonely, and the barren grassland on the roadside is half as tall as a person. The majestic wind picked up the dust on the ground and blew it towards his face, forcing Alex to cover his mouth and nose with his palms.

At this time, in order to blend in with the civilization of this era, he did not appear in blond and blue-eyed form. He also did not use the power of the true God to avoid letting others notice the difference. You know, even small animals can feel the approach of powerful creatures, let alone humans.

Alex returned to his appearance before time travel, with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin. He dresses like a student, so even if he meets other people, he won’t be particularly surprised.

Carrying a pile of wooden slips engraved with text on his back, he arrived at a remote village. He was soon discovered and invited to come over.

“Student, can you give us a lecture?” the old village chief said to him.

Alex calls himself “Li Cheng” and is a student traveling in the Kingdom of Jin. Soon, he became a guest of the village and was entertained by the village chief. You must know that knowledge in this era is very valuable, and every piece of experience is very important. If someone can impart knowledge, it would not be too much to worship him as a father. This is why ancient people paid special attention to their masters.

Alex agreed. He sat on a big stone in the village and looked at the village. I saw houses made of mud bricks, thatched roofs, tangled tree branches and fences, dusty dirt roads, village girls and farmers with withered faces and homespun clothes, and even slaves who didn’t even have a complete piece of clothing. .

“This is the living standard of this era!” Alex sighed secretly, feeling as if they were living in a slum, with dilapidated scenes everywhere. There is nothing that can be done about this. Social development is getting better and better, and we cannot compare the times thousands of years later.

Thousands of years of knowledge blockade have made these civilians or workers frightened and afraid of people who possess knowledge. You must know that in primitive societies, the people who mastered knowledge were wizards. Even in the feudal era, knowledge was no longer available. It is not something that ordinary people can master.

For these people who couldn’t read a word, Alex couldn’t tell them some profound knowledge. He thought about it and told them a story. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. They all liked to listen, and gradually gathered around Alex, listening quietly to the story told by the student.

Suddenly, Alex felt like an ancient storyteller. His efforts are just to make these people feel a little ripple in their boring lives, and add some entertainment and stories.

Of course, some people want to hear news and current affairs from other countries. This is not a problem for Alex. As a true god, it is easy to know any information he wants.

So Alex began to tell the gossip about the upper-class nobles of various countries, such as so-and-so having an affair with the prince’s daughter, so-and-so being an illegitimate child, or some bloody stories that happened on the battlefield.

Looking at the eyes of the people below getting brighter and brighter, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net Alex suddenly realized: “Not only does the World Tree need new information, but even the humans who create information themselves have to obtain other information. People’s information needs!”

Suppose a person is hit by a car and becomes a vegetative state. He has no way of feeling things outside, hearing, seeing, speaking, etc. It was as if he was locked in a dark cage, but if he could still think, I am afraid that such a person would gradually lose himself in a short time, and then go crazy or even die.

Alex didn’t stay in the village long, he planned to leave the next day. When he was about to leave, an old man with a hunched back and a few sweet potatoes in a pottery bowl came up to him and respectfully offered the food to him.

“Is this?” Alex was a little surprised when he saw the old man kneeling down as if worshiping his ancestors.

It turned out that the old man wanted his grandson to learn from Alex, and it would be best to go on a study tour with him. However, the old man’s family did not have any extra money, so he had to use the only food he had to offer sacrifices, hoping to get Alex’s permission. , let the grandson follow him around.

“That’s it, okay then!” Alex agreed. Anyway, he was planning to recruit more apprentices, but there might be some troubles on the road in the future.

“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!”

After learning that Alex agreed, the old man was overjoyed and quickly stuffed the sweet potatoes over.

“Old man! I don’t need your sweet potatoes, you’d better take them back!”

Alex smiled slightly and pushed the sweet potato back. In everyone’s surprised eyes, the sweet potato and the pottery bowl turned into golden things. RP
