"I have a pottery workshop, which specializes in making pottery. The pottery made is the strongest and most beautiful. I can exchange it with you with pottery!"

Ye Qing pointed to the plate serving the dishes and said:

"How do you look at this pottery?"

Looking at the plates that were smooth and shiny because of the glaze, and were printed with a large number of regular red and green patterns, Yao Yao was stunned and couldn't speak.

His pottery is good. No tribe can make pottery better than him, but compared with Fengfeng's pottery, it is far worse.

This is a technical generation difference.

Glaze is still controlled by the Fangfeng tribe.

Yao Yao held an empty bowl and knocked it. After hearing the crisp sound of ding, he was extremely depressed.

When fired, it seems that his pottery is not as good as that of the Fengfeng-Shi pottery.

Lu said:

"I have a jade workshop in my house, and hundreds of craftsmen are making various jades for my house. I can exchange them for various jades!"

He was very proud.

He found that the Fengfeng family was good at everything, but he did not find a single jade piece.

Even the clan leader, members of the ruling family like Shaokang and Ye Qing did not have a single piece of jade accessories.

Jadeware is a symbol of status and status.

How can a family in a dominant position, whose family members do not have jade to show their identity?

The patriarch and Shaokang were very moved.

In their minds, jade artifacts have also had a high status.

Ye Qing was not very interested.

With the technology of the Dayu Kingdom, the labor cost of polished jade must be extremely high. He felt that it was not worth it to exchange such jade for a large price.

If you change a small amount of it, it is okay to collect artworks. If you exchange it in large amounts, it is very unprofitable as daily necessities.

The tribe is not yet enjoyable and luxurious.

Compared to changing finished jade, he would rather exchange the jade raw stones, process them by himself, and then sell the jade to the Dayu Kingdom.

There are hydraulic machinery in the tribe, and it is simple to polish, cutting, and polish.

The processing cost is much lower than that of Dayu Country's manual polishing.

Ye Qing said to the road:

"I have only a few people in my family, so I can't use so many jade tools. You won't want to change the oil for cooking. You only eat it for a few days, right?"

Yao Yao and Lu were in trouble and found that they had things that they had, which were better than theirs.

After thinking about it, they didn't think of what to exchange.

Ye Qing was also a little worried, and he was worried about how to use the method to exchange for the population he needed.

He greeted Yao Yao and Lu:

"Eat first, eat first, there is no hurry to do this. You can stay in the Fangfeng tribe for a few more days, and you can always think of it."

He used the delaying strategy. He wanted to learn more about the Dayu Kingdom from Yao Yao and Lu, and then take targeted countermeasures.

...

After the banquet, Shaokang took Yao Yao and his entourage to place him.

Seeing that Lu was confused and didn't know where to go, Ye Qing arranged for Manniu to accompany him and chose a place for them to camp and settle them down.

He handled the follow-up matters of the return of the Dragon Armor Army.

Two days later, Shaokang and Manniu reported to Ye Qing. According to Ye Qing's explanation, they drew a large amount of detailed information from the Dayu Kingdom from Yao Yao and Lu.

After the two of them finished their stories with shock, Ye Qing was also shocked.

He only knew that the population of Dayu Kingdom was large, but he didn't expect it to be so many.

The Dayu Kingdom has a huge earth-stacked city wall, and a large population is inhabited by the city, with a total of more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000.

What made Ye Qing most incredible was that the nearly 30,000 population was not engaged in grain production, either aristocrats or handicraftsmen.

Their food sources are entirely based on external input.

This... has been completely urbanized.

Ye Qing simply calculated that it would be possible to supply nearly 30,000 rations for nearly 30,000 people with agricultural productivity in this era, at least 300,000 agricultural population can be used to carry out agricultural production.

Moreover, these 300,000 people must have a complete management agency to effectively rule.

Otherwise, it would be useless to not collect the grain produced by 300,000 agricultural people.

If the efficiency of rule is not very efficient, the channels for collecting food are not smooth, and if the normal operation of the Dayu Kingdom is to be maintained, it is possible that the population engaged in agricultural production will double.

In this way, the total population of Dayu State is at least more than 300,000, and it is possible that 600,000 or 700,000 is possible.

In this primitive era, such a scale was indeed incredible.

Looking at his tribe with a population of only 10,000, Ye Qing was trembling with heart.

This is a giant!

The calculated population does not include the population of small countries like Taixi and Qingque countries, but is only a population under the effective rule of the Dayu Kingdom.

No wonder, small countries such as Wang Mang Kingdom, Taixi Kingdom, and Qingque Kingdom all obeyed the orders.

Facing such a giant, who dares to be disobedient?

If you are disobedient, you will be destroyed casually!

Coupled with the control of salt and religious beliefs, these small countries cannot cause any storm.

After further understanding the situation of various tribes engaged in agricultural production outside the Dayu Kingdom City, Ye Qing felt extremely familiar.

Isn’t this... the countryside in the 1960s and 1970s?

In the suburbs of Dayu Kingdom, tribes engaged in agricultural production are very small, with a tribe having a population of only about 30 people, and the largest number is no more than fifty people.

Such a small tribe is basically a family composed of five or six families, which is maintained by blood.

And the blood relationship is still very close.

There are many such small tribes!

How much more?

The two tribes are adjacent, separated by a small river or stream, and the distance is only two or three hundred meters.

These small tribes are densely surrounded by the outskirts of Dayu Kingdom.

Isn’t this the rural area in the 1960s and 1970s?

How many tribes do you need to have?

According to Ye Qing's calculation of the total population of the Dayu Kingdom, each tribe is calculated by thirty people, which means more than 10,000 tribes.

hiss!

The population of Fangfeng is only 10,000!

In the Dayu Kingdom, there are 10,000 tribes!

If you think about it more deeply, the Dayu Kingdom maintains effective management of such a large population, and its ruling institutions must be mature and perfect. Although it is not known how efficient it is, with such a mature and perfect ruling institutions, then in times of crisis, its combat effectiveness will naturally not be small.

As a last resort, just mobilizing 20,000 full-time personnel in the city to fight, in this era, it was also an unimaginable force.

This will not affect the agricultural production of the Dayu Kingdom and will not shake the foundation of the country.

Those who are full-time workers participate in the battle and stop the production of handicrafts are just to reduce the nobles of the Dayu Kingdom's luxury enjoyment.

Ye Qing's ambition to rise due to the powerful combat power of the Dragon Armor Army was restrained again.

The overlord is worthy of being the overlord.

Just based on these basic situations that I learned, they are no longer comparable to those of the Fangfeng tribe.

Low-key!
