After buying the second bowl of salt, Wu planned to continue buying, but he only had a bag on his body, and if he bought it, he would have nothing to put it in.

He asked unwillingly:

"I'll go back and get the can. Will you still sell it to me?"

The tribe members at the counter said kindly:

"You don't need to buy so much salt at once. If you want to buy it in the future, you can buy it anytime. If you buy too much, you will find it revived."

"Really?"

"Really, it was Qing who said it!"

Now, Wu was relieved, and Qing couldn't be wrong.

But he was very curious about why the tribe has so much salt.

In the past, salt was very precious. Not to mention changing ten bowls of rice, if the quota is used up, even a hundred bowls of rice cannot be exchanged for one bowl of salt.

He asked carefully:

"How come the tribe has so much salt?"

The people at the counter said happily:

"I heard that a group of messengers heading south discovered the origin of the salt of the Dayu Kingdom on a very far seaside. The salt was everywhere, so I could just shovel it. In the past, the Dayu Kingdom could not supply enough salt to all tribes, because the Dayu Kingdom had no ships and could not be transported out! Now, the Fangfeng family has a ship, and can transport a large amount of salt at one time."

"Now, there is a special fleet that travels to and from the salt production area, and this salt can be supplied in an unlimited amount in the future. Do you think that a ship can transport thousands of kilograms of salt back at a time, and a fleet can transport several more times. Where can more than 10,000 tribe members of the tribe eat so much salt?"

"Ah! It's all over the floor? Just shovel? Is it true?"

Wu is a little unimaginable.

He didn't know how salt was formed, he only knew it came from the seaside.

The people at the counter immediately felt a little embarrassed and said:

"The salt was indeed shoveled from the ground, but I don't know how big the place is, but I think it will definitely be very big."

"Why do you think the salt production areas are very large?"

"It must be big! Natural salt fields, this is what Qing said. Yantian, can it be called a field if it is not big?"

"Salt grows in the fields?"

Wu was even more confused.

It was hard for him to imagine how salt grew in the fields.

Salt, like rice, cannot be planted, and after planting, it can take root, sprout, bloom and bear seeds.

Unfortunately, the tribe members who were standing at the counter only knew Yilin and half claws. Most of what they said were boasting and imagination, and they could not explain his questions.

After two transactions were made, Wu relaxed and was no longer so restrained, so he started shopping in the mall.

However, he didn't buy anything anymore, just asked for the price.

He saw the cloth.

The cloth is a whole roll, and the price is 100 copper coins per meter.

For example, the piece of cloth he usually trades is 1.5 meters in length. According to this price, the value is 150 copper coins.

His eyes lit up, and there were several pieces of cloth stored in his home.

What surprised him was that there were also finished clothes sold.

200 copper coins per piece.

Will anyone buy this?

A piece of cloth is 150 copper coins, and a piece of cloth can be used to make a piece of clothing. Nowadays, the clothes of the tribesmen are made in this way.

So, who would spend 50 extra copper coins to buy clothes instead of cheaper cloth?

50 copper coins are worth 50 kilograms of rice!

When making clothes, what about the family of that tribe?

Although it is not as exquisitely made as the clothes sold in the mall, the clothes you make yourself are also clothes.

Compared to the past, it is already very good to wear clothes made of windbreakers, so how can you pick three or four?

After walking around, he found that there are basically things that need to be used in daily life.

In other words, only with enough copper coins can you buy anything you need in life from this mall and live a very comfortable life.

This made him realize the meaning of copper coins immediately.

His eyes also became hot.

It seems that you can live entirely on trading, and as long as you have enough copper coins, nothing will be a problem.

I didn’t trade enough food before, but it’s not a problem now.

This mall can be traded unlimited.

This is what Qing said, so naturally there will be no mistake.

...

The patriarch who was observing the transactions in the mall on the rooftop, holding colorful shells in one hand and golden copper coins in the other, sighing:

"I really can't figure it out. How could the people of Dayu be willing to exchange the income from their hard work for such shells that are useless to eat?"

"If it's just good, a little part of the transaction can be understood, but everyone has collected and stored it in large quantities, so they can't figure out what they think!"

Ye Qing next to him focused on thinking.

He also didn't understand why the early human currency chose shells.

In history, pottery coins have also appeared.

Compared with shell coins, pottery coins have less actual value.

This made him even more confused.

Modern currency is endorsed by governments in various countries, and a piece of valuable paper can be used as money, which he can understand.

But, in this era, who will endorse currency?

No!

But people still choose shells as currency, which is fascinating.

Does the Dayu Congress endorse Beicoin?

That is impossible.

Furthermore, the Dayu Kingdom is just a regional overlord, but the popularity of prehistoric shell coins is universal.

How do you understand this?

The patriarch looked at the golden copper coins and said happily:

"Copper coins are good! Although they cannot be eaten, they can melt casting tools and have practical functions. They are much better than shells. I think the tribe members will definitely accept it."

Ye Qing said:

"Not only our tribesmen will accept it, but also other tribes will accept it. As long as we are about to establish strongholds in various countries and maintain continuous operation, copper coins will definitely become the common currency recognized by everyone."

With the development of the tribe and the viewpoint of the entire Leize area, after taking a comprehensive look, Ye Qing felt more and more that his knowledge was not enough.

He felt that there was no way to start the macro and overall regulation.

He didn't understand the economy and currency.

The discovery of copper coins was just a copy of the historical process.

As for the deep theory and basis, he doesn't understand much.

But he still has confidence that copper coins will become popular.

Compared with shell coins, copper coins are completely better than shell coins in terms of convenience and actual value.

Even in terms of beauty, it is not bad.

The copper coins have a brilliant appearance and a regular and unified shape. For the aesthetics of people of this era, it is beauty!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing was very excited.

The copper mine owned by the tribe is enough to support the sufficient circulation of copper coins in the Leize area.

Copper coins are popular, and copper mines are the mountain of wealth.

Tribes can also develop rapidly through this.

The most important thing is that through copper coins, the connection and exchanges between various tribes can be strengthened, and the values ​​of tribes can gradually be converged and consistent.

This invisibly promoted the integration and assimilation of various tribes.

This will have a very great promoting effect on the future great unification and greatly reduce the resistance to unification.

What is the general trend?

This is the general trend!

Then, the same is true for weights and measures, and for words.

Ye Qing felt hot.

He suddenly felt that he was enlightened.

There is no need to work hard on and farm yourself. As long as you maintain your economic and military advantages, you can implement the weights and measures you have formulated step by step, as well as words and currency...

Then, the resistance to unity that hinders unity is not a problem, and will naturally be eliminated invisibly.

The remaining ambitious or diehards are vulnerable in the face of such general trends.

Therefore, the next focus of your work is to... manage a strong base.
