After Bai Jiang learned how powerful the Great Elder Hua An was in bargaining, he did not dare to talk nonsense with him anymore and shouted directly: "Great Elder, what we are looking for is a long-term deal. Our appetite is not big, we just want more exchanges."
Bring some ceramics and copper products back to improve the lives of the people. Although the white stones are not of much use, the hard work and danger involved in transportation. I think you, the great elder, also understand that if they are built on a basis that consumes a lot of manpower and sold at a low price, I will definitely
I won’t agree to this. What do you think about adding 3 more denominations on top of the 10 Chinese dollars?”
Hua An saw that they had almost been forced. The stone that the patriarch said he wanted to exchange might be some kind of useful ore. He couldn't push them too hard, otherwise they would be scattered and the potentially useful ore would be lost.
arrive
Hua An spread his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, I will raise the price of this stone for you. I will go back and tell the clan leader now. It shouldn't be a big problem. You go back to the post house to rest first. The news will be here in a moment."
After hearing this, Bai Jiang raised his hands and said, "In this case, we will wait for the great elder's good news in the post house!" After saying that, he led his clan members to turn around and leave in the direction of the post house.
…………
After listening to Hua An's report, Hua Xi couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "I didn't expect that in addition to Tukan, a good diplomat, our tribe also has Hua An, a big profiteer, haha! The price is pretty much the same.
Got it!"
"The patriarch is overly praised! But what is the use of the white stone? Is it worth exchanging items for it!" Hua An was modest, and then raised everyone's doubts.
"Haha, that white stone is a good thing. The copper tools we usually use are easily broken, and they don't resist heat!" Hua Xi said with a smile.
"Yes, could it be that the white stone...?" Everyone nodded, vaguely feeling something about the white stone.
"Yes, this kind of white stone is called tin ore. As long as the metal tin extracted from the white stone is added to the copperware, the cast object will be very hard, not easy to deform, and has good heat resistance. And we can use the white stone to make utensils.
, White stone has the hygienic effect of disinfection and sterilization..." Hua Xi roughly explained the wonderful uses of tin ore.
"Wow, it turns out there are so many wonderful uses, so this transaction price is really a bargain!" After listening to Hua Xi's story, everyone woke up in surprise and felt that this transaction was extremely cost-effective.
"Haha, then our weapons and armor are much better than the pure copper originally made!" Hua Feng first thought of the benefits of using bronze in armaments.
"Not only these, but all daily tools such as farm tools and logging can be replaced, which will greatly improve the efficiency."
"besides…………"
Several elders put forward their own ideas.
Hua Xi deliberately delayed until the next day, and then sent someone to deliver the price proposed by the Baishi clan. After listening to the reply of the person who sent the message, the price was roughly agreed upon, and the people of the Baishi clan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the price was
It's a bit low, but the white stone is useless, and the population of my own tribe is also large. At that time, some tribesmen will be responsible for digging and transporting it to the Chinese tribe in exchange for food, ceramics, copper products and other materials. It is the same. Originally, there was no source of food in the cold winter.
The era has been broken. In the future, during the cold winter, you can also bring tribesmen over to exchange for food.
After feeling relieved, the Baishi people stayed in Chinatown for a few more days, browsed the bustling scene of Chinatown several times, and finally left reluctantly.
After leaving Chinatown and entering the dense and vast forest, Bai Jiang turned around with a dark face and stared at the blurry Chinatown in the distance through the gaps in the woods and said bitterly: "Mom, let you Chinese people be arrogant for a while, wait for me
After using the exchanged materials to store enough strength, I have a large number of copper weapons in hand. Let's see how I teach you damn guys! Humph! Hua Xi? Jie Jie, he is just a short-sighted person!"
Bai Jiang's younger brother Bai Ding flattered him and said: "That's right, he doesn't have the foresight of his elder brother! That idiot patriarch actually exchanged special products for a useless thing like Bai Shi, giving us a good opportunity to grow rapidly."
The rest of the people all agreed: "The clan leader is wise, after we exchange the items we exchanged with Ge Tian for those bows and arrows and bronze soldiers and armors, it will be easy to annex other small tribes. After we grow stronger, hehe, let's
That prosperous China City was captured and all Chinese people became slaves!"
The group of people became more and more proud as they talked, forgetting all the unpleasantness they had experienced in Chinatown in the past few days. It seemed as if they had taken advantage of the sky. Many people had begun to imagine that they were sitting in that "magnificent" building.
In the palace, countless Chinese people were commanded to daydream about this and that.
Seeing the complacent tribesmen around him, Bai Jiang was already very disappointed with these incompetent idiots. He didn't listen to their flattery at all, and thought to himself: Why are there not many people like that Hua An around me?
!Hmph, I must straighten out the tribe’s style this time when I go back! Chinatown, one day, you will fall into my hands!
After sending away the Baishi people, everyone dispersed. Hua Xi returned to the inner courtyard alone. Next, Hua Xi had to consider cutting crops at the end of the month and raising fields next month. Food, no matter what period, is the development of the tribe.
The foundation is the top priority. Recruiting soldiers, increasing population, and working tribesmen all need a lot of food to maintain. The more food stored, the more stable the tribe will be. Only when it is stable can it seek development.
In the agricultural sector, there is mainly a farmer named Zimin, who is also an elder and is a practical elder. Different from other elders who like to rely on their power to obtain public property, Zimin is responsible for all daily operations of agriculture because he is responsible for all the daily operations of agriculture.
He was relatively familiar with the area, so Hua Xi simply asked him to come over to discuss it.
I went to the elders' house and walked around, but couldn't find the people. After asking, it turned out that he was checking the use of the plow in the field at the moment.
The people who were working in the fields suddenly found a person standing on the edge of the ridge of the farmland. They looked up in surprise and saw that the patriarch was already standing on the ridge. The people quickly patted the wet mud that stuck to their bodies.
He walked up to the field barefoot and said: "Patriarch, you! When did you come? Why didn't you let me know? Look at me...!"
"Well, how about it, it's good. It's almost time to harvest the first rice season this year at the end of the month!" Hua Xi ignored the filthiness of her subjects and took her hands to walk to a big tree.
asked with a smile
"Yes, it will be harvested in a few dozen days. In addition, the thing called volcanic ash that you brought back last time, Patriarch, is applied to the newly cultivated fields. The effect of fertilizing the fields is very good, and it also buffers the soil to a great extent."
The supply of manure and fertilizer was originally tight." The people looked at the heavy golden rice in front of them and said happily.
It can be seen that the people have a special liking for growing food and cherish the large rice fields in front of them.
"Okay, please hurry up and collect the volcanic ash from the last volcano to increase our tribe's food income," Hua Xi reminded specifically.
"Yes, by the way, the white stone you mentioned last time, patriarch, can be combined with pure copper to forge hard bronze tools. I wonder if we can produce a batch of plows first to improve the efficiency of reclamation and soil turning?"
Min Zhizhi spoke out his desire, his eyes were fixed on Hua Xi, for fear that he would say no.
"Haha, of course food is the tribe's top priority. You don't need me to do it. Don't worry, as soon as the first batch of tin mines from the Baishi tribe arrive, I will immediately have people rush to make a batch of bronze farming tools for you." Hua Xi photographed
He put his hands on the shoulders of his subjects and laughed in agreement.
Then, Hua Xi taught some of the ideas on how to increase grain production and income that she learned when she was a child with her father in the fields. The people listened and nodded, exclaiming that the patriarch really knew everything and was proficient in everything.
