Chapter 914: Cultivating an Erdao Trafficker (2 in 1)
Han Cheng looked at the people around him, and then thought about the unknown tribe that also had bronze weapons. For a moment, he didn't know how to express his feelings.
From the perspective of future generations and the direction of the development of human history, he should be very happy with the situation in front of him.
But as someone who was brought up in this era and lived here, he didn't want to see such a thing.
At least I don't want it to appear close to where my tribe lives.
Because this is a relatively dangerous thing.
Competition is everywhere. When facing other weak tribes, that unknown tribe may still live in peace and harmony with it, just like it does now, using things like clay pots and salt soil to interact with the tribe in front of it.
people make deals.
But when encountering another relatively powerful tribe, it will definitely not be so peaceful.
Just like Han Cheng himself.
At this time, after suddenly learning such a news, he was also thinking about all these things. Even if the unknown tribe was not as much and far-reaching as he thought, he would gradually realize these things.
problematic.
When the time comes when the two tribes meet, there will be unhappiness.
Especially when both parties have an extremely abundant production surplus compared to this era.
Take people back? Leave here? Give up here?
As soon as such a thought appeared in Han Cheng's mind, he threw it out of his mind without hesitation.
It is impossible to give up here, no matter what, I will not give up.
Not to mention the initial investment that he and his people spent a lot of energy on here, the mere fact that the weather may continue to get colder can completely put an end to this idea of his.
This is the place that their tribe is going to build to fight the severe cold. If they abandon this place, what should they do if the temperature really continues to drop?
Could it be that he still needs to lead the tribesmen and continue to travel across mountains and rivers to find a new, more suitable place to live, and then start from scratch?
Let’s not talk about whether we can find such a place in a short time. Just say that even if we really find it, how can we guarantee that there will be no tribes like the tribe whose name is not known around there?
If this is really the case, what should we do next?
Is it possible to continue to migrate with the tribe?
There are many things that just cannot be avoided blindly. You need to face them bravely. This is the real solution.
Blindly avoiding it will only make things worse and more troublesome, and nothing else will be gained.
Moreover, as a person from later generations, although I don’t have any golden fingers, my brain is filled with many things that are many years ahead of people of this era. With these things, if I still fear
If you are intimidated and frightened by the civilization born in this era, you will really embarrass the army of time-travelers, and you can withdraw from the group.
With these thoughts in mind, Han Cheng's thoughts gradually became clearer.
No matter what, it is the last word to build yourself up as soon as possible and make yourself strong.
Many times, many things are like this. As long as you become stronger, the rest of the things will be solved and won't be a problem.
As for the tribe whose name I don’t know yet, it’s fine if they don’t provoke you. If they really want to provoke your tribe, then just pick up weapons and do it.
Of course, if you think this way, when you actually do something, you still need to pay attention to methods and strategies.
"Mao, ask them again if there are many people when they trade with them."
After thinking for a while, Han Cheng spoke up and continued to explain the matter to the trader.
Mao followed Han Cheng's wishes and continued to ask the older primitive women about these matters.
After understanding the meaning of trade, the older primitive woman, as well as some primitive people around her who understood the meaning of trade, suddenly became distressed.
They haven't learned to count yet and don't know how to specifically express the number of people.
I only know that there are quite a few of those people, but I don’t know exactly how many there are.
On the one hand, this is because they cannot count and did not record the accurate number of those people at the beginning. On the other hand, it has been a long time since those people came recently, and they did not have any idea about such a thing at the time.
Pay special attention, I can’t remember clearly at this time.
After thinking hard for a while and having some conversations with other people around her, the older primitive woman began to stretch out her fingers to make gestures.
After a lot of confusing gestures, Mao finally understood the number of people who had gone to trade with the older female primitives and their tribe, and quickly told Han Cheng.
"Around forty to seventy? Still adults?"
After getting Mao's answer, Han Cheng muttered softly here.
It seems that what I thought before was correct. A tribe that can develop bronze will not be too simple and cannot be compared with the tribes I have encountered before.
Just by conducting external transactions, so many adults can be dispatched at once, which means that the number of adults in that tribe far exceeds this number.
While Han Cheng was thinking about things, the older primitive woman who answered the question, as well as the people from her tribe, unconsciously turned their eyes towards the two burnt bodies not far from Mao's feet.
Look at the jet black clay pot and the gourd filled with salt and earth.
There was longing and anxiety in his eyes.
They hope to regain possession of these extremely precious things that belong to their tribe, and are worried that these people will take these precious things away and never return them to them.
As for whether these two things would be destroyed, they were not too worried.
Because these two things are really too precious.
They understood the preciousness of these two things and did not believe that anyone could destroy such precious things.
Han Cheng, who was thinking about things, thought of other things.
The reason why he felt pressured by the unknown tribe was partly because he knew that the other party had bronze, but also because he knew too little about it. He didn't know to what extent the tribe had developed and how many people it had.
.
As he often said, unknown things are scary, and people will always elevate them unconsciously and make up for them in their minds.
After hearing some news about that tribe, he inevitably fell into various conjectures.
As a person who has always had a sense of worry, what Han Cheng guessed was basically a relatively bad situation.
It is actually easy to solve this problem, that is to get in contact with that tribe and thoroughly understand the depth of the other party.
Once you are aware of it, the current situation will not occur.
The height of the rising art of war is that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.
However, it is very difficult to find a tribe in such an era.
Otherwise, in the spring, Bark, who once lived in the main tribe, would not lead the Blackstone Alliance people to the Tongshan residential area.
Moreover, if the tribe has not yet completely established a foothold here, the most important thing to do now is to build Jinguan City as quickly as possible and develop the paddy fields. Under such circumstances, it is obviously not possible.
It's very appropriate to dispatch a certain amount of manpower to do this.
Thinking about these things in his mind, Han Cheng's eyes fell on the older primitive women squatting on the ground, and he gradually came up with an idea.
They are not suitable to do this now, but they can let people from other tribes do it.
The people in front of me are good candidates.
These people live here themselves, and their understanding of the surrounding environment must be better than that of others. In any case, they more or less know the location of other tribes, and they have also conducted transactions with that unknown tribe.
.
With this thought in his mind, Han Chenggong asked someone to bring out several clay pots from the room, and also brought out a jar of salt.
Someone followed the order and came out of the room a moment later. The crowd separated into a small passage. Several people carrying clay pots and salt jars came here and placed these things in front of them according to Han Cheng's instructions.
Next to two clay pots owned by the tribe itself and a gourd filled with salt.
The older primitive woman who was just thinking about what Han Cheng meant and what those people were going to do when they left immediately stopped thinking about these things, because all her thoughts were occupied by the astonishing thing in front of her.
The scene was so captivating that he had no time to think about anything else.
The older female primitives had their eyes wide open and their mouths opened wide. The reactions of everyone in their tribe were similar to those of the older female primitives.
Some people's breathing becomes rapid, and others forget to breathe.
But regardless of whether they were breathing or not, at this moment, their hearts were filled with shock.
There was a deep sense of disbelief in the shock.
The tribe in front of me actually owns this precious instrument?!
Moreover, their utensils that can be used to cook food look big, round, and extremely beautiful.
Compared with the utensils these people brought out, the two pieces of pottery that were extremely rare and precious in my own tribe suddenly looked ugly.
The key is that they actually have so many of such beautiful and extremely precious things!
Just when the older primitive women were in constant shock, Han Cheng spoke again.
After a while, the people blocking the direction of the slave cabin separated a passage, which was facing the door of the slave cabin.
At the door of the slave cabin, there was a piece of pottery placed. These were all brought by Han Cheng and others for use on the road. If you count the bowls for each person, there must be almost a hundred large and small.
There are as many as sixty or seventy pieces.
In order to achieve a stronger visual impact and create a stronger shock to these people, Han Cheng specially asked people to take away the piles of bowls and place them there individually.
The older primitive women and the others did not understand for a moment why these people who had surrounded them and others would suddenly make such a strange move and forge such a path.
Squatting on the ground, driven by curiosity, they reluctantly moved their eyes away from the few pieces of exquisite pottery in front of them that made people reluctant to take their eyes away, and looked at the separated gap.
Then these people were collectively stunned, with shock and surprise evident on each of their faces.
The few pieces of exquisite pottery in front of them were enough to shock them, and they all thought that these were all the pottery owned by this weird tribe in front of them.
However, at this moment, they realized that they and others had all thought wrong. It was only a small part of the exquisite pottery possessed by this tribe, and they also had more pottery!
Although people from other tribes have seen them marveling at the pottery of their own tribe more than once, the people of the Qingque tribe still feel that it is extremely wonderful and comfortable all over.
This thing is just like the original ditty used to kill time at night. Although I often hum it, I just never get tired of it and there is no one that is enough.
"And this."
At Han Cheng's signal, Mao took two steps forward, blocked the eyes of these people from looking at the door of the slave yard, reached out to pick up a sealed jar, and opened it, revealing the items used inside.
Table salt crushed in a stone mortar.
After exposing the salt in the jar, Mao picked up the gourd that the older primitive people used to hold the salt and soil, poured out some, and placed the hand holding some salt and soil flush with the salt jar.
.
His actions quickly attracted the attention of the older primitive women.
After realizing what was contained in that large, exquisite pottery, the older primitive women were once again strongly shocked...
The white stuff they have looks different from the stuff my tribe got from that tribe, and it's definitely not as delicious as the stuff my tribe has.
The dumbfounded older primitive woman discovered some differences between the two, so she comforted herself in her heart like this.
However, she soon realized how wrong her previous idea was.
The white stuff from this tribe only has a delicious taste, but no bitter taste, let alone gritty teeth.
While the older primitive women were amazed, at Han Cheng's signal, several people from the Qingque tribe brought a dozen jars of similar sizes from the door, placed them here, and then opened them
, which is filled with salt.
When he came this time, Han Cheng brought a lot of salt. Not only did they need to eat salt, but the animals in the tribe also needed to eat it.
And unlike food, if there is not enough food, you can get some from the wild. If there is not enough salt, there is no way to replenish it without knowing where the salt mines are. In addition, they need to stay here for a long time during this trip.
So I carried a lot.
The brains of older primitive women are no longer sufficient.
Before, she thought that the richest tribe in the world was the tribe that traded with them. Now, she discovered that there was a tribe even richer than that tribe.
All the pottery of the tribe in front of them is more exquisite than that of that tribe, and the white things are more delicious than that of that tribe. In their eyes, this means that they are richer than that tribe.
