Chapter 0113 You must regret it!
A bamboo raft was driving above the rippling thunder siege.
There were more than a dozen people sitting on the bamboo raft, four or five elderly people and ten young men in leather armor.
This is a trade team heading to the tribes around Raze for trading.
The one responsible for the safety of this team is the ten-person escort team led by Shaokang.
After solving the safety risks of the dam camp, the camp guards no longer need to be so nervous.
The trade teams, running around in the wilderness, need protection.
Therefore, Shaokang and his guard team were drawn to protect the trade team.
In fact, it is better to say that it is the dominant position than to say that it is protection. With Shaokang here, there will be no chance for others to speak and make decisions.
There are also commodities for trading on the bamboo raft, but the space occupied is very small.
The traded items they carried were linen and some small pottery.
These two items are low-cost, relatively small in size, and are very lightweight, making them convenient for long-distance transportation and carrying.
When I set off, I brought more than 100 pieces of linen.
It's still more than 100 yuan now.
These more than 100 pieces of cloth were all divided into square pieces before they set out in the tribe.
The current trading method is still very backward, with no standard for measuring value and no general equivalents. Ye Qing simply made the cloth prepared to trade into the same size.
Cloth is expensive and every tribe needs it.
In this way, the uniform size of cloth can play the role of currency.
It is such a piece of cloth that is 1.5x1.5 meters high, and it requires other tribes to take out a lot of valuable items to trade.
However, Fengfeng's requirements for trading products are a bit special.
The bone tools, stone tools, etc. carefully polished by each tribe are not needed by the Fengfeng.
Many tribes do not have what the Fengfeng family needs.
For example, piglets.
Pigs are raised in every tribe, but piglets are not available at any time.
Because the number of trade teams is small and the means of transportation is only one bamboo raft, this time the hemp fiber is not within the scope of the transaction.
Hemp fiber takes up too much space to carry.
It is precisely because of such strange trading conditions that although this trade team has visited two tribes, no deal has been reached.
The witch of Huangfeng clan said with some concern:
"If this continues, I'm worried that we may not be able to trade a piece of our 100 pieces of cloth. If there is no transaction, wouldn't we just go there for nothing?"
Shaokang despised him and was too lazy to argue with him.
I have debated with him countless times along the way.
The main purpose of this trade operation is publicity.
It is to let all tribes know a message, that is, when there is no food, a famine occurs, and people are about to starve to death, there is a place to help them.
It doesn't matter whether you can trade some items you need.
It’s better to have a deal, and it doesn’t matter if there is no deal.
The Huangfeng Witch knew this purpose.
But he was very uneasy about a small place that had accumulated such a large population.
It was really hard for him to imagine how the swamps, mudflats and rivers around the Zhu River could dry up and how they could be cultivated into paddy fields for planting rice.
Although I have lived in Fangfeng’s tribe for so long, I have also gained a certain understanding of Ye Qing’s magic.
However, before the plan mentioned by Ye Qing was truly realized, he still made judgments based on his own experience, or did not believe it.
What an incredible thing that was!
How could those swamp flats that could not be seen at a glance, rivers and streams spread all over the place, dry up?
Therefore, he has been worried.
He was very opposed to continuing to absorb the population and concentrating the population in a large number of people.
However, no one listened to his words, so he could only sigh every day.
He often says something in his mouth, you must regret it!
So when he visited the two tribes, he did not take the initiative to promote the tasks assigned by Ye Qing.
Ye Qing had long expected such a thing.
The Huangfeng Witches did not need to come forward to promote and persuade him, but to rely on his help, mainly his experience.
He knew many tribes, where other tribes were, how to get there, and people from many tribes also knew him.
Therefore, his actual role, in Ye Qing's words, is navigation and business cards.
As long as the Huangfeng Witch stops there, a very clear meaning will be expressed:
Look, Huangfeng is in our tribe. He eats well and lives well. Do you want to come too?
The trade team made decisions and actually carried out tasks were young men like Shaokang and his guards.
Along the shore of Leize, the bamboo raft was moving forward rapidly, and in front was the entrance of a river flowing into Leize.
Shaokang asked:
"Which tribe was reached when the river ahead went upwards?"
The Huangfeng Witch stopped complaining and said:
"The Chengfeng tribe ahead!"
...
Cheng Feng tribe.
The Chengfeng tribe is a tribe specializing in growing rice.
When the ancestors of Cheng Feng clan chose the resident, they chose this resident, which also started from the perspective of farming.
Because he is good at growing rice, the Chengfeng tribe has grown stronger, with a population of more than 300 people today.
This is a prosperous tribe.
However, success or failure is planted with rice.
This place has dense water networks and low-lying terrain, which is suitable for planting rice. However, there are relatively few wild fruits, seeds, and prey that can be collected.
With such terrain, floods will have a particularly great harm to them.
This year, the rice fields suffered floods and the harvest was very small.
They have an important food source for rice cultivation, and a food crisis has occurred.
Now winter is about to begin, and the tribe's crisis has finally erupted.
A sacrifice is being held in the Chengfeng tribe.
There is a question that the tribe members cannot unify their opinions and have to pray to the gods for answers.
On the high altar, Cheng Fengshi witch danced and sang devoutly, danced wildly, and sang desolately.
And on the altar, there are some elderly people.
They lined up in two rows and stood on both sides of the altar, accompanied by the dance of the witch, raised their hands, bent over, knelt down, and their palms faced the sky, and touched the ground with their foreheads.
Then he stood up again, raised his hands high again, bent down, knelt down, his palm facing the sky, and touched the ground with his forehead.
Repeat all the time.
They looked pious and sacred, and did not express any impatient expression because of the long repeated kneeling.
Under the high altar, there were countless dense crowds of people, who were from the Chengfeng clan.
Today, all the people of the Chengfeng clan are here.
Similarly, these tribe members also kept kneeling and worshiping one by one.
Their faces were full of expectations.
After a long time, he became a Feng family witch and ended the sacrifice.
Countless tribesmen who were kneeling down also stopped and knelt down. They waited silently, waiting for the Cheng Feng Witch to announce the results of the sacrifice.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Cheng Feng's witch gasped and said:
"The gods do not agree to migration!"
The tribe members under the altar suddenly became noisy.
Hearing such an answer, some tribe members showed despair on their faces.
But the other tribe members showed anger on their faces.
One of them was a tribe in his 20s and asked loudly with grief and anger:
Chapter completed!
