Huang Ye looked at Lin Yan happily, "Why did you come to my house today? Something happened."
She also knew that Lin Yan was a busy man and rarely walked around the tribe. He would only come to visit him unless something happened.
Lin Yan nodded his head, "I really have something to tell Grandma. Now that the tribe has been built, everyone lives together, and chaos will easily arise if there are too many people. With so many people, there will inevitably be friction. I think we need to find a way to manage the tribe. That’s all.”
In the past, everyone lived underground, busy surviving, each taking care of his or her own family, and there was no friction. But now that we live close by and have abundant supplies, people's hearts are definitely not what they used to be.
For example, when the houses were divided, there were disputes, and they were all suppressed by Huang Ye and Alan.
Huang Ye thought for a while, "This is indeed a problem. What solution have you come up with?"
"There are more than 1,400 households in the tribe. During the construction, they were divided into 15 areas. Each area contains five streets and has about 100 households, with a population of about 300. We asked each area to select one People should be team leaders.”
"Grandma Huang and Alan, choose one more person to be the arbiter of the tribe. The group leaders manage their respective areas. If there is something that cannot be resolved or there is a conflict between the groups, the arbiter and the group leader will work together. What do you think about a negotiated settlement?"
When planning the construction of the tribe at that time, it was built along the direction of the Sun River, elongated in the north-south direction, and divided into fifteen areas from south to north.
In addition, a ten-meter-wide road was built in the north-south direction, right in the middle of each street, with twenty households on each street on both sides and ten households on one side.
Lin Yan continued: "The road in the middle should be given a name. Otherwise, it is difficult to call it, so it is called Central Avenue. Our tribe is called the Sun Tribe. We all live together, so we should also give it a name. It will be called Sun City. From now on. When you mention Sun City, you know it is the place of the Sun Tribe, do you think so?"
Before Huang Ye had thought about Lin Yan's last proposal, she went on to say so much. He didn't answer her for a moment, but said: "This is a major matter for the tribe. Call Alan and others together to discuss it before making a decision. "
Lin Yan nodded immediately: "That should be the case. I just want to talk to grandma first, and grandma will be prepared later. There is something else I should mention."
"Grandma, the tribe is not close to the Sun River, so it is inconvenient to get water. We might as well lead a river over and dig a few big pits to store water. This way it will be much more convenient for everyone to use water."
Huang Ye's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. The cold season was coming. It was far away from the water and it was really inconvenient to get water. She couldn't sit still anymore.
"I'll call someone here right now and let's discuss it together."
Lin Yan nodded and said hello.
This is a big change for the tribe, and it should indeed be discussed and resolved together.
After waiting for more than an hour, everyone else arrived.
Lin Yan suggested that Kurotsuchi also participate. He is the tribe's number one warrior and should participate in such an important event. In the future, he will be needed for the protection of the tribe.
It was said that Kurotsuchi had gone hunting and would not return until evening. It didn't take long as everyone was waiting for him.
A total of seventeen people came, all of which were large families in the tribe with a population of more than twenty people, and Huang Ye's family was one of them.
Those who came were all heads of families, all grandmothers over forty.
Half an hour later, Kurotsuchi hurried over. Seeing so many household owners, he was confused for a moment. What was he doing?
Huang Ye didn't let everyone wait any longer and said immediately: "I called you here today because I want to discuss a few important things. The tribe has built a new house and it should not move again. If we want to live here for a long time in the future, we should give it a name. Lin Yan I suggest calling it Sun City, what do you think?"
Some of the family heads knew what the city was, and they immediately educated everyone about it. Then, everyone unanimously agreed to name it Sun City.
From this moment on, the place where they lived had a name. When it was mentioned in the future, it would be called Sun City, where the Sun Tribe lived. Everyone was very happy.
Huang Ye continued: "Lin Yan gave the name to the main road from south to north of Sun City called Central Avenue. It is convenient to call it."
Kurotsuchi was the first to praise: "It's time to have a name. Usually everyone calls it Dalu. It doesn't sound as grand as Central Avenue."
There was no objection to this one. Huang Ye glanced at Lin Yan and said: "The tribe now has seventy-five streets, and everyone knows that. The closer people live, the more right and wrong. Lin Yan thought, let every fifth street choose One person will be appointed as the group leader to manage all the affairs of the five streets. If the group leader cannot solve the problem, leave it to the tribe's arbiter and the group leader to negotiate and resolve it together."
"Team leader, I understand what it is, and who is the arbiter?" Alan asked immediately.
Lady Shui was also among them and asked: "Is the arbiter a person?"
Huang Ye looked at Lin Yan, "If you bring it up, it's up to you to talk to everyone."
"Okay." Lin Yan was young and stood up among everyone before speaking: "The arbiter is the most prestigious person in the tribe. I want to choose three arbiters. Now Huang Ye and Alan are the most prestigious in the tribe. , they will be the arbiters, and everyone will elect an arbiter. The three arbiters and the fifteen team leaders will manage Sun City together and help everyone solve problems."
"Is it true that the team leader takes care of small things, and the arbiter takes care of big things?" asked Mrs. Shui.
Lin Yan nodded, "In principle, this is the case. If the team leader cannot solve the local problems he manages, he will report them to the arbiter. If there are conflicts between the team leader and the area managed by the team leader that cannot be handled privately, they will also be reported to the arbiter. . If it is a major matter that affects the whole city, it will be resolved by the arbiter and the team leader through consultation. Now we will implement it this way, and then we will modify and supplement it if we encounter problems during the implementation process."
"I guess I understand." Mrs. Shui thought quickly, "Then how do we choose the team leader and arbiter?"
"The group leader is selected by the people of each group, and the arbiter is selected by all the adults in the tribe. Whoever has the most people to choose can be the group leader and arbiter. But the group leader and the arbiter cannot be the same person. If the same person is elected, this person will decide which one to be, and the other person will be chosen again."
Kurotsuchi's eyes lit up, "Can anyone do it, regardless of gender?"
"Yes, regardless of gender, anyone with the ability can take the position."
This was something Lin Yan thought about for a long time before he came up with it. Now, although the heads of the family are all women, the advantages of men have not been fully utilized.
How about starting from this moment and letting the tribesmen realize that men and women are the same and can have the same rights.
The eighteen family heads looked solemn. In the past, women were respected and had the final say at home.
Lin Yan knew their concerns and explained: "The arbiter selects the most prestigious person, and the team leader is the manager. Anyone must have the ability to handle problems. This does not affect the affairs of one's own family."
"Everyone thinks carefully and can vote with a show of hands. If you think it is feasible, raise your hands to express your agreement. If more than half of the people vote, it will pass."
"Including Kurotsuchi, we have a total of nineteen people, plus Lin Yan, twenty people vote together. If the number exceeds twelve, it will pass."
When Huang Ye said this, everyone agreed.
