Jiang Li thought for a moment, "They still don't know that our weapons are made from those stones. Even if they know, they don't understand the refining method!"
Mu Feng frowned, "Whether they understand it or not, we have to save more like salt."
Yao Hu said: "I took people to bring a lot of stones back to the tribe, and refined a lot of iron blocks to keep. Shanyang and several leaders came to me and wanted to exchange some farm tools with us, but I haven't agreed to them yet.
Do you think you should change it or not?"
Mu Feng shook his head, "What if we give it to them? If they don't use it to cultivate the land and use it to fight, what should we do if they come to rob us like a great witch?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. No matter what they do, they can't surpass us. Xiaoqing, what do you think?"
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Jiang Li is right, they will never try to surpass us. We can't guard against them, so just give them some necessary farm tools. Let's find out who is following Brother and the others tomorrow morning. Then
People just want to find salt and exchange it for food and animal skins.
Now that he has discovered that salt is dug out of the soil, he can go find it himself if he has the ability. Let’s set the price of salt lower. If everyone can get salt in vain, who would be willing to exchange for the salt he brought with him?
The salt of mud.”
After hearing this, Yao Hu also thought about it, "Xiao Qing is right. We found the iron stone and salt. If they have the ability, they can find it themselves. In two days, I will tell the leaders and give them hoes and sickles in exchange for them."
them."
"The tribe has almost completed the construction. I asked the wolf to take people to the mountain to build a few houses. From now on, everyone will not have to go back and forth so hard every day."
Mufeng nodded, "Okay, I listen to you. Set out early tomorrow and catch the guy who followed me."
Next, several people discussed the price of the farm tools, and they agreed that a basket of dried meat would be exchanged for a hoe, and half a basket of dried meat would be exchanged for a sickle.

Before dawn, Da Mao and Meng led the warriors to the mountain with torches. The group of people found a cave covered by vines. After entering the cave, they discovered the salt in the cave.
A warrior picked up a piece and licked it, "Chief, the stone is salty!" After saying this, he laughed excitedly.
He slapped him fiercely and said, "If you don't hurry up and dig in your backpack, you won't be able to escape when the people from the Yaoshan tribe come."
"Oooh!"
A group of men moved quickly, filled their backpacks, and climbed out of the cave to see that it was already dawn.
The big cat waved hurriedly, "Let's go, hurry up, they are coming."
Meng pointed to another road, "Let's go through the woods this way to avoid encountering them."
"Okay, let's go!" The big cat pulled the vines a few times, and the group of people walked away quickly with their backpacks on their backs.
As soon as a group of people left, Jiang Li and Mu Feng led them to the foot of the mountain.
When Mufeng went up the mountain, he saw signs that the vines covering the entrance of the mine had been lifted, "The thieves must have arrived."
"Go in and have a look!" Everyone entered the mine, and there was no one in the cave.
The bull looked around and said angrily: "It seems that these thieves came before dawn."
Jiang Li looked at everyone's frustrated expressions and said, "He came once, and he will come a second time. Are you afraid that you won't be able to catch them?"
Mu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, we will build a house here from today on. I wonder how he will steal next time?"
The wolf laughed and said: "Let's cut down the trees first and prepare to build a house!"
"Let's go up and chop down the trees." A group of people arrived outside the cave and started to chop down the trees.
Meng and Da Mao quietly returned to the tribe with the men in the tribe, each carrying a basket full of salt. A dozen men sat on the ground panting, feeling like they were in a dream.
He looked at the salt in the basket and said, "No wonder there is mud in Wu Xian's salt. It turns out that the salt in the cave is like that."
The big cat picked up a piece and looked at it, "I see that the one you got from the Yaoshan tribe is white! How did they do it?"
The warrior looked at the salt in his backpack and said, "Chief, with this much salt, we won't have to worry about it in the future."
She rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's the use of this? How much food can I get in exchange for it?" He planned to go after dark. The Yaoshan tribe dug during the day, and they dug at night. Then he would lead his men carrying salt on their backs.
Tribal s
The warrior looked at him in surprise, "Chief, Yaoshan Daji belongs to the Yaoshan tribe. Our salt is stolen from them. Where can we exchange it with others?"
She glared at him and said, "Don't worry about it, I have a solution. Go, everyone go eat some food and sleep well."
"Yes, leader." The warrior yawned and left.
The big cat then said to Meng: "I will first send two people to deliver some salt back to the tribe. Before they find out, we will dig up more salt and store it back, and then carry it into the mountains to exchange for food, animal skins, and women."
Meng looked at him and laughed loudly, "Big Cat, you and I want to go together."
The two of them agreed, and after eating the food, they lay down and fell asleep.

Yao Xiaoqing came back from the canteen and carried the rice seeds upstairs, preparing to dry the seeds and store them.
When An Nuan and A Que saw her coming, they smiled and took the bag, "Qing Wu, all the herbs you brought back have been separated and dried. Here are the herbs we collected."
Yao Xiaoqing took a look at it, and saw motherwort, Milla sinensis, Prunella vulgaris, Golden Retriever...
"Yes, everything has been cleaned up. The autumn harvest is coming in a few days. Prepare some herbal teas such as honeysuckle and dandelion to make some herbal tea for Eminem."
Ah Que said: "I gave Amu the honeysuckle and hay last time, I will send some more."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "There are not many hemostatic drugs left in the warehouse. Please prepare more hemostatic drugs these days."
"yes!"
A Nuan took a bamboo flat and spread out the rice seeds to dry.
Yao Xiaoqing stood on the roof and saw that the roofs of other courtyards were covered with ramie. It seemed that the first stubble of ramie had been peeled off.
She went downstairs to the sugar cane field. The sugar cane was growing well. In the papermaking room, taro and beans were busy with people.
When Yuzi saw her coming, he put down the curtain in his hand and walked to the door with a smile, "Xiaoqing, I brought back a lot of paper mulberry bark this year, and the paper mulberry trees planted on the mountain are also alive."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "I heard that you two have a baby. Are Quan and Zhen very happy?"
"He was so happy, and I was in terrible pain." Yuzi looked at her with red eyes, "You're not here, Qingwu, I thought I couldn't see you!"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Next time you have a baby, I will wait for you at home."
Yuzi shook her head like a rattle, "I haven't given birth in the past few years, and I get scared when I think about it."
Douzi laughed and said, "Taozi, you haven't been here for a few years, and you don't like having babies!"
The women in the workshop all laughed, "That is, unless you drive Quan to the mountains to sleep."
"Okay, when he comes back from hunting, I will drive him up the mountain." Yuzi also laughed.
