Although the salt of the Yanze Tribe has a monopoly in the black sand desert, it is not unique. The New Salt Tribe also produces salt.
Moreover, if Liu Yun had not been able to purify the salt, the quality of the salt from the New Salt Tribe would have been even better than that from the Yanze Tribe.
This directly leads to the salt profit of the Yanze tribe not being too high.
Because once the Yanze Tribe sells salt too expensively, other tribes will look to the New Salt Tribe to buy salt.
After all, for tribal people, cheap prices are the most important thing, and their requirements for taste are not that high.
Therefore, as long as he can think of a few things that have a monopoly status, he can completely support the Yanze tribe.
"It's not difficult!"
Yanshan's eyes widened, thinking that Zhao Qian was bragging, and reminded him: "Zhao Qian, including slaves, our tribe has a population of more than a thousand people. The food consumed by these one thousand people every day is not a small amount."
Zhao Qian smiled instead when he heard this, "Chief, it would be easier if you just fill your stomach."
Yanshan frowned, "Easier?"
Zhao Qian explained: "Our tribe has helped the forest guardian. In the future, we will not only be safe when hunting in the forest, but the wolves will also help us hunt, and we can get more food."
Yanshan was a little unconvinced, "If a tribe wants to survive, food is only the foundation. We have many things to exchange with other tribes. Without salt, what can we exchange for?"
"a lot!"
Zhao Qian introduced: "Some time ago, I discovered a plant in the forest. This plant can be crushed and applied to wounds. It has the effect of stopping bleeding. Combined with penicillin, it can have a good therapeutic effect."
The plant Zhao Qian mentioned was Panax notoginseng, which he accidentally discovered in the forest.
Panax notoginseng is very useless for the tribes that have the treatment of Erya, because the healing ability of Erya is much better than that of Panax notoginseng combined with penicillin.
However, not every tribe has treatment for Erya, so Panax notoginseng combined with penicillin is definitely very popular.
Zhao Qian continued: "There is also white sugar, which is sweeter than honey. I plan to carry out hunger marketing and take a high-end route. Only people with noble status are qualified to eat it."
Although this world is very primitive, there are still classes.
In the eyes of the upper class, the lower class is unbearable, and they are eager to distinguish themselves from the lower class.
Ever since, there have been luxury goods.
Luxury goods are never sold to the poor, nor are they used for use, but are used as tools to distinguish oneself from ordinary people.
In this case, Zhao Qian planned to make white sugar a luxury product in this era.
"besides……"
Zhao Qian also gave examples.
Yanshan waved his hand quickly, "Stop, stop, stop, I believe you."
"Ha ha……"
Erya laughed happily and said to Yanshan: "Now you don't object to handing over the salt mine to the insect tribe, right?"
Yan Shan shook his head and said: "I don't object anymore, it's just..."
"Ahem!"
Erya suddenly coughed twice, interrupting Yanshan's words, and then smiled and said to Zhao Qian: "You must be very tired when you come back from the forest, go and rest!"
"is teacher!"
Zhao Qian naturally saw that the teacher had something to hide from him, but after hesitating for a while, he still left.
Because, he probably guessed that the teacher wanted to hide something from him.
After Zhao Qian left, Yanshan asked in confusion: "Erya, why did you stop me just now?"
Er Ya said: "Zhao Qian is already under a lot of pressure. Don't put any more pressure on him."
Yanshan was startled and asked: "Erya, do you know what I want to say?"
Erya nodded and said: "You just want to tell Zhao Qian that it will be difficult to make the insect tribe think that we are not easy to mess with, and we will have to pay a high price."
Hearing this, Yan Shan nodded, that's what he wanted to say.
Although handing over the salt mines can fill the greedy belly of the insect tribe, there is a prerequisite for this, which is to make the insect tribe feel that they are not easy to deal with.
If you continue to fight, even if you win, the insect tribe will suffer heavy losses.
However, it is too difficult for the Yanze tribe to achieve this step.
This is like a sheep facing a wolf. Even if the sheep uses all its strength, it is difficult for the wolf to be afraid.
Erya looked at Yanshan and said calmly: "Moreover, Zhao Qian is so smart, can't he not think of something that even you can think of?"
"Right!"
Yanshan nodded in agreement, then suddenly realized, "No, Erya, you want to praise Zhao Qian for his intelligence, I don't object, but there is no need to hurt me!"
"It does not matter."
Erya ended the topic casually and said: "Right now, the most important thing is how to let the insect tribe know that we are not to be trifled with."
I think this is important!
Yanshan resisted for a moment in his heart, and then said: "Erya, do you have any good ideas?"
Erya did not answer Yanshan immediately, but walked to a corner of the stone house and opened a hidden compartment with three healing dominoes in it.
Erya took out the healing dominoes and handed them all into Yanshan's hands, "These three dominoes still have a strong effect on fourth-level Tan Luo, so take it!"
Yanshan took the three dominoes in confusion, not understanding what Erya meant by doing this.
Erya also seemed to see that Yanshan didn't understand, and explained: "You are the only fourth-level member of the tribe. These three healing dominoes are given to you to maximize the effect. When the time comes, you don't have to worry about getting hurt, just kill.
.”
Yanshan understood, accepted the three healing dominoes and said: "Please rest assured, if the insect tribe wants to enter the tribe, they must step on my corpse."
Erya hit Yanshan on the head with a wooden stick and cursed: "If you can't beat me, just run away. I didn't let you fight for your life. The Insect Tribe is not worth your efforts."
"oh!"
Yanshan scratched his head and said.
Erya continued: "The insect tribe is far away from us. It will take some time to arrive. You go and prepare. I will also take advantage of the time to carve some dominoes."
Hearing this, Yanshan said anxiously: "Erya, your body..."
Erya waved his hand and said: "It's okay, my old bones can still hold on."
…
Zhao Qian returned to his residence, still unable to calm down.
Just as Erya guessed, Zhao Qian had indeed thought that it would not be an easy task to make the Chong tribe feel that the Yanze tribe was not easy to deal with.
If nothing unexpected happens, many people from the Yanze tribe will die by then.
"How to do it?"
Zhao Qian walked around irritably.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a hard object on his body. He was too anxious when it came and didn't notice it.
He took out the hard object and found that it was a small stone with a fairly flat surface.
"There are words on it."
Zhao Qian saw that someone had carved a few words on the small stone with a sharp object.
It was too dark inside the cave for him to see clearly, so he walked outside the cave and saw clearly the words above in the sunlight, "Explosives, in the laboratory."
