126 Milestones
There are many landmark events in human history, such as the replacement of slavery by the feudal system, the emergence of capitalism, the three industrial revolutions, etc. The occurrence of each landmark event will greatly promote the development of human society.
In ancient times, there were actually many landmark events. However, in the eyes of modern people, these events are so ordinary and insignificant, so most modern people think of these events as nothing.
For example, humans learned to walk upright, humans learned to speak, humans learned to use fire, humans learned to make tools, etc.
To put it simply, walking, talking, making fire, and making tools, are these seemingly ordinary things also landmark events in the history of human development?
These are indeed landmark events in the history of human development. The early stages of human evolution and development have gone through millions or even millions of years, and these seemingly ordinary little things are exactly what happened during those millions or even millions of years.
The greatest driving force for human development in millions of years!
Compared with these small things, transactions are much more important. So how much impetus will the emergence of a perfect trading system inject into the development of ancient humans?
Zhao Hao never thought about this. He just wanted to inject enough motivation into the Yanyan tribe and the Blackstone tribe to make the two tribes develop rapidly.
So, what is the most important thing in trading?
There is no need to think about this. It must be that items must be owned by individuals, and everything must be under the control of the tribal leader as before, and they can be given to whoever they want. Then, the tribesmen will have no desire to trade.
If the tribal leader is selfish, he can be called a slave owner, and the tribesmen, in a sense, are all slaves.
Will there be trade between slaves and slaves?
Anyway, the things are not theirs. They can only wait for the tribal leaders to distribute them. Who would think of trading, taking off their animal skin skirts and farting!
Therefore, if you want your tribe to have the desire to trade, you must first let them own personal things.
This question seems simple, but in fact it is quite troublesome, because most of the things of the two tribes can be said to belong to him as the leader, because he has the right to control and use it, while other tribesmen can only watch helplessly.
Wait for him to distribute!
Of course this is not possible. The clan members don’t have anything personal, so how can they trade?
Therefore, he decided to give away most of the things and distribute them to his tribe!
For example, there are the bison, wild sheep and wild horses of the Salt Department, and for example, the pottery and ironware of the Black Stone Department.
After the defense facilities on the road from the grassland to Yanshi City were almost ready, he took the initiative to go to Cangwu to discuss it.
Cangwu could be said to be free and at ease at the moment, and he could do whatever he wanted. He was even considering whether to find another woman. After all, it was too boring to do this every day.
Zhao Hao told him solemnly that he had something to discuss with him, which really surprised him.
He couldn't help but ask: "Chief Tian, why are you still discussing with me? Whatever it is, you can just do it as you see fit!"
When Zhao Hao heard this, he was quite embarrassed and said: "Well, I really can't handle this matter."
Cang Wu couldn't help but wonder: "You can't even do it! What's going on?"
Zhao Hao thought about it carefully and then asked: "Didn't your Black Stone Department often make some pottery and exchange it with the surrounding tribes? Who do you think these pottery and the things exchanged belong to? Is it yours or not?"
From the Blackstone Tribe?”
When Cang Wu heard this, he couldn't help but said inexplicably: "What's mine, does it belong to my clan? Isn't what I own belongs to my clan?"
This is because you are a selfless leader. If you were that kind of selfish leader, your tribe would be in misery.
Zhao Hao shook his head slightly, and then asked: "Do you feel that your tribesmen used to be very energetic in making pottery? When you didn't ask them to make pottery, would they make it themselves?"
Cangwu thought about it carefully, and then murmured: "How can they be motivated about this? At first, when I asked them to make pottery, they all looked sad, and they almost complained that I wasted them hunting or picking wild vegetables.
Later, I gave some extra meat to the tribesmen who were making pottery, so that they would not be so weak when working."
Zhao Hao nodded, and then solemnly said: "If we stipulate that whoever makes the pottery belongs to whom, and the dried meat, salt, animal skins, etc. in exchange belong to them, do you think they will?"
Highly motivated?"
Cang Wu was a little puzzled and said: "If this is the case, of course they will be very motivated. The question is, no matter how motivated they are, no matter how many pottery bowls and pots they make, what is the use? Can they exchange them for things?
?No matter how much they do, they can only show it there!"
Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are talking about the past, but it is different now. Haven't you seen that the road from Yanshi City to the grassland has been repaired? They can use pottery to exchange meat and animal skins with our tribe of salt tribes
Even a horse!"
Hearing this, Cangwu couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Aren't these all yours? Will you allow your tribesmen to exchange these for pottery with our tribesmen of the Black Stone Tribe?"
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said: "Now these are all under my control, yes, but I plan to give most of the bison, wild sheep and wild horses to the people of the Yan tribe. In this way, they will not be able to follow them.
Have you Blackstone tribesmen exchanged pottery?"
Cangwu was still a little puzzled and asked: "Why do they want so many pottery? Do they want to display it at home?"
I'm so dizzy. It's so tiring to talk to this ancient tribal leader who doesn't understand anything!
Zhao Hao explained helplessly: "Your Black Stone Tribe not only has pottery, you also have black stones and pig iron. I can even have people teach the Black Stone Tribe people to make magic weapons, hoes, shovels, etc."
Hearing this, Cangwu frowned and pondered for a while, and finally understood a little bit, but he was still a little confused and said: "What do you mean, let the people of the Black Stone Tribe burn pottery, dig black stones, and build magic weapons, hoes, shovels, etc.
Then, use it to exchange for meat, animal skins and wild horses with your tribe of salt tribesmen?"
You country bumpkin, you finally understand.
Zhao Hao nodded happily and said, "Yes, that's it."
Unexpectedly, Cang Wu was still a little puzzled and said: "Aren't you bored? You just order people to make these things. Meat, animal skins, wild horses, etc., you don't just give them to whoever you want, you let them
Isn’t it unnecessary to take it and exchange it yourself?”
When Zhao Hao heard this, he fainted at the wrong moment. After a long time, this guy still didn't understand!
He shook his head helplessly and continued to explain: "This is different. Whatever I ask them to do, they may not do it with all their strength. However, once the thing is theirs, they can exchange it for whatever they want. You
Think about it, will they do it with all their strength?"
This seemed to be back to the old problem. Cangwu was still a little puzzled and said: "Didn't I just say, whether it's pottery or something else, what's the point of making so many of them? Even if they can have something with you,
The tribesmen of the Yan tribe exchange meat, animal skins, wild horses, etc. What is the use of the tribesmen of the Yan tribe holding these things? Usually, most people have a clay pot and a bowl, which is not enough. If there are more, they can
Can you look there?"
"Poof", Zhao Hao was almost stunned and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
This guy is really stubborn!
He frowned and thought for a while, and then said helplessly: "Okay, let me tell you something simple. For example, there is a beautiful girl from a nearby tribe, and you are interested in it. However, their mother-in-law said that you must take one.
What do you do if you exchange ten thousand catties of bison meat for ten thousand catties of wild lamb? By the way, don’t expect me to give it to you. If you ask me for it, I won’t give it to you. You must get something from our salt tribe.
People exchange.”
Cangwu was thinking about finding a woman. When Zhao Hao asked him, he immediately became excited. After thinking about it for a moment, he said without hesitation: "That's not easy. What do you people from the Salt tribe want? I will
Let people do it quickly!"
Men, they are all big pig hooves, and when they talk about big beauties, they get excited!
Zhao Hao nodded and concluded: "That's right. You don't seem to have any energy because you don't have what you want. You wonder why you are making so many things. Think about it, if you have enough things
, what do you want to change that you can’t change?”
Cang Wu thought for a while and gave an example: "I want to exchange Tu Meng's head. Is there anything I can exchange for it?"
"Poof", Zhao Hao almost vomited blood again.
He thought for a while and then said helplessly: "What can't be exchanged for Tu Meng's head? What does the leader of Xue Man's tribe like? Magic weapons? Okay, let's trade him for the magic weapons. Will ten of them be enough?
?If ten is not enough, just twenty. If twenty is not enough, just thirty. As long as you have enough magic weapons, are you afraid that you can't get Tu Meng's head? Of course, these magic weapons must be the kind of real magic weapons I have.
Magic weapons, and people who can create magic weapons cannot be like you and think that it is useless to create more magic weapons. Think about it, how many things you have to exchange for one magic weapon, ten of them
Well, where are the hundred weapons? In this way, as long as those who know how to make magic weapons work hard to make magic weapons, they will not get what they want!"
Dozens of magic weapons?
Such an exaggeration!
Fortunately, Cang Wu is not an idiot. He knows that this is just an exaggerated example given by Zhao Hao.
He thought blankly for a while, then slowly nodded and said: "Well, what you said makes sense. As long as we work hard to create what people want, we will get whatever we want."
