Hua Xi was stunned and thought to himself: It seems that the impact of the war has made the tribal chiefs of the Tianshui tribe on the border have the idea of leaving their fiefdom. You know, when a tribe makes up its mind to leave the fiefdom where it has lived for generations, it can be seen to what extent it will probably happen again in the future.
Tribes are coming to the Changyang tribe one after another. It seems that after the clerk left, Hua Xi walked around the market again and didn't see the products he needed. But even if he did, Hua Xi didn't have the money to buy them now.
Bai Zhan suddenly had a stomachache, told Hua Xi that he was worried, and then hurried towards the temporary residence.
Damn, running so fast, I don’t know if the poop inside will be shaken out, Hua Xi thought evilly
Hua Xi, who had nothing to do and was light-hearted, also followed the flow of people and walked towards the workshop area.
It can be seen from this that in fact, the ownership of the means of production in society has become generally privatized. The number of large and small mud house construction workshops and warehouses in the workshop area is as high as hundreds. Hua Xi glanced at it and estimated that there are craftsmen.
The number of craftsmen there will exceed a thousand. Upon inquiry, most of the workshops here are privately owned by the workshop owners, and the craftsmen sell themselves to the workshop owners or are employed to earn copper coins here.
The types of workshops are divided into three main categories: stoneware workshops, bronze workshops, grass and wood workshops, and leather and textile workshops. If broken down, you can see bow and arrow workshops, leather workshops, armor workshops, ceramics workshops, textile workshops, halberd workshops, and bronze sword workshops.
, herbal medicine workshop, wine workshop, agricultural tool workshop, bamboo slip workshop, fishing workshop, sericulture breeding workshop, dye workshop, wax oil workshop, pepper workshop, stone mill flour workshop, etc., there are many types
However, Hua Xi casually walked into a few workshops and took a look, and found that technology had only developed to the initial stage of the Bronze Age. Many production tools still had a very single function. For example, the spear only had the functions of thrusting forward and picking, and did not evolve later.
Like the halberd, it also has combat functions such as chopping, cutting, and blocking.
Hua Xi visited a few workshops with larger stores to learn about the situation.
The workshops here will directly sell various handmade products, and also directly purchase large quantities of raw materials. The prices are basically the same as those on the market, except that there is an additional wholesale price, which is a little lower than the price of a single piece.
After looking at the bows and arrows produced by the bow and arrow workshops here and A's workshop, Hua Xi was dumbfounded by the selling price of A.
The cheapest price, and of course the lowest quality and function. An ordinary hunting bow also costs 50 copper coins. A bundle of 10 stone arrowheads actually costs the same as a bag of rice, 2 copper coins.
What made Hua Xi even more stunned was the set of standard armor for generals (the purity was estimated to be only 60 to 70%, with a lot of impurities), such as a copper helmet, a heart-protecting bronze mirror, a leather breastplate, leather leggings, and leather gauntlets.
Such a set would require up to 100 copper coins.
Ordinary warrior armor (breast goggles, leather breastplate) also costs nearly forty copper coins. If it were not issued by the tribal army, if ordinary people want to buy such a set of armor, I am afraid that we ordinary people will not eat or drink.
I could only buy a Brilliance Junjie last year.
It seemed that he was an old craftsman who was responsible for looking after the workshop owner. It was rare to see a rare customer who stopped in front of his workshop for a long time. He quickly stepped forward and said in a bombastic manner:
"Dear guest, our workshop is the best armor workshop in Changyang City. Look at this armor. Wearing it, you can fight against Shanrong (barbarians, but they are called Shanrong here) thirty miles away.
, even if they kill nine in and nine out of their tribe.
Question: Look at this helmet again. This was worn by General Jiang Qi of our Changyang tribe. I see your majesty, your majesty, and your majesty. Only you are worthy of such a mighty bronze armor. I will accept 100 less from you.
How about I charge you three hundred copper coins?"
Hua Xi was so shocked both inside and outside by him that he couldn't laugh or cry. The old craftsman said that the quality of this armor was not bad, and it was considered a medium armor in China. But the problem was that even if he didn't have any money at the moment, should he take the big armor?
Spending the copper coins here is also subject to discussion.
However, now his stomach started to protest first. Only then did Hua Xi remember that he had hardly eaten for half a day. He was so hungry that he could only leave temporarily and return to the temporary residence arranged by the clerk to take out some money (before leaving the Chu clan)
, given by Chu Xin) Go to the market to buy something to fill your stomach
After dinner, Hua Xi just returned to his residence and was about to take a rest. Hua Xi, who was going out for a walk in the afternoon, suddenly saw several tribesmen who looked like soldiers walking towards him.
"Your Highness, could something have happened?" Bai Zhan reminded.
"They're probably not looking for us. We've only been here for a long time and haven't done much!" Hua Xi said uncertainly.
However, as the group of people got closer and closer, Hua Xi, Bai Zhan and even the little kid Chu Yue were a little suspicious that these soldiers with spears were really coming for them.
Soon, Hua Xi discovered that there were seven people coming, and the leader was the little official who took him to familiarize himself with the city this morning.
At this time, Bai Zhan had already turned around and entered the house, took out the sword that had claimed the lives of countless soldiers, and prepared it. Hua Xi thought for a moment, and quickly asked Bai Zhan to put away his weapon. Seeing that the little official looked happy, it didn't seem like he was.
What disaster has befallen you?
Sure enough, after the clerk read out the chief's oral instructions, Hua Xi realized that this was a reward because he had done something good by offering the treasure. In addition, the clerk explained Hua Xi's current predicament (having no money) in a jealous way.
Chief Yu Zeng decided to reward 50 slaves with an additional thousand copper coins. For Yu Zeng, although one thousand copper coins can buy
To get a good set of equipment, but it can be exchanged for a rare treasure, it is all in vain. If this piece of "pottery" (there is only pottery in their consciousness, no concept of porcelain) from "Tiger Descending the Mountain" is paid as tribute.
To my father Jiang Ke, my weight in my father's heart will definitely increase a lot, and my father's gaze on me will also increase a lot.
After understanding the value of porcelain, Hua Xi also gained some preliminary information about Yu Zeng's reward - his personality is stingy, and people who are usually stingy may have good professional skills, but as a leader
May lack enough wisdom and vision
After chatting with the clerk for a while, Hua Xi began to arrange tasks with Bai Zhan. He went to Bai Zhan to take charge of the warrants of the chief Yu Zeng and to select 50 slaves at the population market in the military camp. As for the requirements for slaves,
, this Hua Xi only told Bai Zhan two things: good health, age between 15 and 30 years old
