Chapter 873, Unclear Positions

“Shaman, what should we do about the farmland? Should we continue expanding it now?” Cang Shi continued asking.

 

He had visited the farmland in the forest and discovered that the wheat inside was indeed growing very well. However, he always felt it was similar to the Wolf Tail Grass he had brought back before, just with a slightly different colour.

 

“We don’t need to consider that until next year begins, because the rainy season will arrive soon, and the forest will start being submerged again.” Su Bai frowned slightly and continued, “The snow season will be here very soon, so for now we should just maintain the current state.”

 

The reason he had previously selected a small plot of land as farmland instead of choosing a particularly large area was precisely because he was worried about this issue.

 

However, this was also a problem that the Flame Dragon Tribe urgently needed to face. They could not possibly be unable to grow food every rainy season, could they?

 

“Shaman, besides this, what other orders do you wish to convey to us today?” Yan Jiao continued asking, feeling that things couldn’t possibly be this simple.

 

“There’s one more very important point, which is we all need to clearly understand what our positions are.” Su Bai continued.

 

He had transmigrated to this Primitive Era for quite some time now. Adding up the long and short periods, it had been over a year.

 

Currently, everyone’s division of labour was not very clear. Each person seemed to do a bit of everything, but no one focused solely on one particular task.

 

Although this was not wrong, as the Tribe grew increasingly larger, it became somewhat difficult to manage.

 

Especially during handovers, no one knew who was responsible for which matter, since everyone had been involved with that particular work.

 

“Everyone’s positions? Shaman, we don’t understand what you mean.” Yan Jiao surveyed the circle of people seated around him and found that everyone’s expressions were the same, puzzlement.

 

“Position, meaning what a person is responsible for, what they excel at, and what they need to do. For example, you are the Chieftain. What are your main duties?” Su Bai asked in return.

 

“I must protect everyone’s safety, ensure that no one goes hungry, and constantly observe whether any dangers are approaching our Tribe,” Yan Jiao began describing his responsibilities as Chieftain.

 

“What about Cang Shi? What are you mainly responsible for in the Tribe?” Su Bai continued asking.

 

“My previous responsibility was as the Hunting Team Leader, mainly responsible for hunting food at the Hunting Ground. However, now that we do not go to the Hunting Ground, and we don’t need the Hunting Team anymore.” Cang Shi looked troubled and, after thinking for quite a while, continued, “Now… now I mainly train the Warriors.”

 

Indeed, since losing the title of Hunting Team Leader, he really had become somewhat uncertain about what to do. Of course, not knowing what to do did not mean he did not have a role. Cang Shi was still very enthusiastically training Warriors every day.

 

“I understand.” Su Bai turned to look at Sha Lan and continued asking, “What about you?”

 

“My main responsibility is also training Warriors.” Sha Hong blinked her blue eyes.

 

“Training Warriors again. What about Qing Yan?” Su Bai turned his head and continued asking.

 

“Shaman, I’m the same as them. Previously I was also responsible for going to the Spotted Deer Tribe to trade, but that’s not necessary now.” Qing Yan immediately responded.

 

Su Bai nodded thoughtfully, placing both hands on the table as he looked at everyone and slowly said, “See, this is the result of your unclear positioning. From start to finish, only the Chieftain clearly understands what he should do.”

 

Everyone remained silent, waiting only for the next instructions.

 

“As the Tribe’s Shaman, my responsibility is naturally to oversee the Tribe’s development and its direction, as well as worry about your food and clothing, housing, and various other issues.” Su Bai’s fingers rhythmically tapped on the table surface as he continued, “Several of you have the same work. If I need to assign tasks in the future, won’t I have to call on you one by one?”

 

He felt he had usually been too gentle, which led to the Tribe developing quite well but still lacking proper rules and regulations. After all, without rules there can be no order. Everyone needed to clearly understand what they should be doing.

 

“Shaman…” Yan Jiao was momentarily at a loss for words. It was indeed exactly as the Shaman had said. He had never previously felt there was anything wrong with this, thinking that since they were all Warriors, doing anything was the same. However, listening now, he felt everyone definitely needed to clearly understand their own positions.

 

Only this way could they truly help the Flame Dragon Tribe. Otherwise, for some matters they would not even know who to assign responsibility to.

 

Should they specially run to the Yong’an Building at such times to ask the Shaman? Where would the Shaman find so much free time to handle these matters?

 

Most importantly, if something was relatively urgent and desperately needed someone responsible to handle it, but they didn’t know who should go, that would also be very anxious.

 

“Therefore, the main reason for calling you to this meeting is to let you clearly understand your own positions.” Su Bai was particularly serious.

 

His deep black eyes constantly flickered with an oppressive presence. All the management personnel present were older than him, yet they were all intimidated by this oppressive aura.

 

“Yes, please assign us our position, Shaman.” Yan Jiao was the first to stand up, and the others also consciously stood up one after another. Everyone felt it made perfect sense.

 

“The Chieftain should continue the previous work. You will control the general direction of all aspects. Only report to me if there’s something you cannot handle.” Su Bai prepared to assign suitable positions to everyone one by one and continued instructing, “Cang Shi, I want to assign you to lead a new team.”

 

“A new team?” Cang Shi’s face showed some puzzlement, though his body still stood very straight.

 

“The Warrior Trainees in the Tribe have already taken shape. I want to put the first batch of Warrior Trainees under your charge.” Su Bai instructed.

 

That was right, this was an issue he had been considering all along. After the Hunting Team no longer needed to hunt, he could not let everyone have nothing to do.

 

The Warrior Trainees who awakened this year happened to give Cang Shi something to do. The training aspect had already been handled well by other Warriors.

 

“Shaman, you want me to train this year’s awakened Warrior Trainees? But didn’t you just say these Warriors have already taken shape?” Cang Shi was very confused.

 

He currently passed time every day at the training ground, either training himself or leading the Warriors in training.

 

“I’m not asking you to train them, but to lead this batch of Warriors to patrol within our Tribe. From today onwards, you are the Patrol Department Leader.” Su Bai enunciated each word clearly.

 

The Flame Dragon Tribe had always had patrol teams, but they still weren’t properly organised, and the main things they were responsible for were also quite chaotic.

 

“Patrol Department Leader?” This was the first time Cang Shi had heard of this title.
