Chapter 189 Exclusion

In the end, no one mentioned buying food anymore.

Now, the entire royal family owns pottery coins, probably their tribe hasn't been queuing up yet.

Now that they go, they can only be at the end. If they don’t go, it will have no effect when they buy it.

I heard that Wang Weiqiang made the price of salted fish not allowed to rise again, so the current salted fish is still only three times the price before.

However, for some reason, before Wang Wei gave this order, others bought which food they were cheaper.

However, after Wang Wei gave the order, most of the people who were reluctant to buy jerky in the end actually bought a lot of jerky.

This also leads to the continuous rise of the price of jerky even if it exceeds the salted fish too much.

In fact, the reason why Wang Wei ordered salted fish to not raise prices was very simple, because he was afraid that he would be united to turn over the table.

He has a way to get food, but in fact he has started preparing for winter fishing since the Meridian Festival.

In this world, what is the fastest way to catch fish?

There is no doubt that it is a fishing net.

But there are too many fish in the river, too big.

If you weave a small fishing net, you don’t have to cast a net. If you have a fish cage, you can catch more than ten kilograms of fish by the river.

If weaving too large fishing nets, it will take more time and effort.

A net that can catch the big fish weighing hundreds of pounds in the river, and even some giant crocodiles accidentally entered the net, will take at least thousands of work hours to make it.

Weaving a net is not a problem for Wang Wei. He can finish working overtime in less than ten days.

But the nets of this era were woven with straw ropes, unlike later generations, which were made of synthetic fiber nylon 6.

No matter how tough and sturdy the plants are, they will easily loosen and rot as soon as they soak in water.

There is a saying that goes, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. In fact, it was originally heard from the mouths of fishermen in the Dahe River Basin.

At that time, the fishing nets were woven with hemp fiber.

Hemp fibers tend to expand when exposed to water and then decay.

Therefore, after three days of fishing, you must dry the net for two days to extend the service life of the fishing net.

Who knew that after this sentence was passed to the mainland, it was misunderstood as fishing for three days, and for two days it was drying the net. From then on, the sentence "fishing for three days" and "drying for two days" became a satirical saying that people had no perseverance.

Later, as the fishing net materials upgraded and became wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, even the fishermen on the coast gradually forgot the original meaning of the word "Food fishing for two days and drying nets for three days.

It is precisely because plants are afraid of water that they must solve this problem if they want to make a large net.

Otherwise, it would cost hundreds of laborers to weave a fishing net and decay it in a month. It would be better to ask these hundred laborers to take a boat to fish in the river.

After all, fish in this era are too greedy, and they will take the bait when they are put into the water.

However, Wang Wei knew one way: after processing the fishing net materials with some gum, the fishing net would become particularly resistant to bubbles.

However, this method was discovered in modern times.

At that time, nylon 6 had already been popularized. This discovery was nothing compared to nylon fishing nets in terms of cost and practicality, so this matter did not attract any attention at all.

Wang Wei also saw it in the corner of the newspaper when he was looking for a job. Later, when he got here, he searched out this method with a bracelet.

During this period, except for the usual use of the gum collected by Wang Wei, the rest of the gum collected was kept for processing fishing nets when it was almost winter.

When the weather is cold, you won’t be too busy. As long as you solve the problem of keeping warm, you will have more time to work.

Secondly, if you catch fish at that time, you can deal with it slowly. The weather is the best refrigerator. Even if you catch more fish, you will definitely be able to deal with it in a cold winter.

After all, it was cold at that time, so it was impossible to reclaim the land or build houses. Slaves could not be idle. It was the best choice to make salted fish at that time.

But now, because of Bai Hua's words, the royal family is in a crisis of trust.

If this matter cannot be handled well, when the trend of buying food has passed, someone will inevitably lose confidence in the royal family and go back to stockpile the food for the winter.

In this way, the labor force of one's own tribe will drop greatly.

The construction of the ancestral hall, schoolhouse and hospital planned by Wang Wei has just started. If the person suddenly runs away, who will he ask for to work?

In order not to let people leave, even if we know that it is not the most suitable time, Wang Wei had to make the fishing net in advance.

Because the rest of the tribes were queuing up to buy food, Wang Wei took out more than a hundred women to make fishing nets, so the royal family's production was completely stopped.

The slaves' work efficiency is too low. Apart from the matter of land reclamation that is conducive to supervision, they are not at ease to do the rest of the work. Therefore, many of the royal family now have to stop working, which is considered to be semi-paralyzing.

Due to the shortage of people, the prices of many jobs in the royal family have increased a lot.

However, compared with the crazy-growing jerky, this improvement can only be considered a slight witch.

Due to the rise in wages and the royal family's punishment for theft incident, many people who bought food did not choose to leave immediately, but stayed with the royal family to continue working.

And those who want to leave go to Wang Wei to fulfill his initial promise and rent the Bucks to get the goods.

In royal families, the exchange price of food is low.

But the transportation of food is a big trouble.

Although the royal family is in the upper reaches and there are wooden ships for cargo transportation, there are no sails now, and it is too difficult to move upstream by manpower, so if you want to transport the food back, you can only go by land.

There is no doubt that with the help of grass deer on land, the transportation speed will be greatly improved.

However, these people who came to rent Caolu were temporarily rejected by Wang Wei.

He said that the loan of Caolu will take half a month to rent.

During this period, the grass deer must be kept in the tribe to raise weight.

Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't ask much.

The royal family's reputation is still very reliable, and it was agreed at the beginning that the royal family's needs should be given priority to renting grass deer.

So these people stayed in the royal family and took advantage of the rise in wages during this period to earn some pottery coins.

After all, in the royal family, pottery coins can be exchanged not only for food, but also for all kinds of beautiful pottery, tools, etc.

After all, there are only about a thousand people who come to work in the royal family.

So no matter how intense the snatching was, the food that should be replaced the next day was replaced.

At this time, when everyone was fighting for food, the only tribe that did not grab food seemed a little prominent.

As the first tribe to come to the royal family, the stone tribe is also the tribe with the largest number of people among the tribes.

They have the oldest qualifications, do the most work, and naturally earn the most coins.

But when everyone was rushing to buy food, they were watching. Isn’t this just not sociable?

In the morning, stones stomp mud in the mud pit.

This kind of life is too physically exhausting. Even the strongest man in the tribe cannot keep trampling on it, so they are all working in two shifts.

At this moment, the few people who were rotating around the mud pit looked at the stone in the mud pit and asked with a smile: "Shitou, I heard that you went to queue last time, but later I felt that there were too many people in front of me, so I left. What are you thinking now?"

Shi Tou glared at him without saying a word.

The royal family prohibits fighting and some soldiers maintain order.

Therefore, many people who were marginalized and not strong before dared to talk to each other in the royal family.

The man continued to smile and said, "The jerky now has risen to a sky-high price. If you don't leave that day, your stone tribe's pottery coins will definitely be exchanged for a lot of jerky. But now, if you want to change them, you may not be able to exchange jerky that can survive the winter, right?"

Shi Tou ignored him and changed directions on the handrail to continue stepping on the mud.

The man was behind and suddenly asked in a surprised voice: "Oh my God! You don't think about waiting until the price of food drops before buying it, are you? You are so smart!"

This person's exaggerated expression and tone caused laughter from the people around him.

Shi Tou turned around and said viciously: "If it weren't for the royal family, you would have knelt on the ground now and begged me not to hit me!"

The man didn't care and smiled and said, "Hehe, if it snows now, you should kneel on the ground and beg me to sell you some food!"

"Hmph, don't forget that you have stolen so much food, and only seven of the royal family's food warehouses have been opened. And so far, the price of salted fish has not increased. I want to see. When Wang Wei lets the price of food drop, what will your people who buy food at high prices now look like!" After Shi Tou said this, he ignored the person behind him.

The man sneered, "I still want the price of food to fall? Now there are no more foods near the royal family that can be picked and stored for winter, and all the beasts have been wiped out. Even if it is Wang Wei, it is impossible to find new food. Although there are so many food warehouses, but if there are so many people, you can eat one bite and one bite less. The food in the warehouse will definitely not be eaten in the spring of next year!"

The stone was placed like Wang Wei, but he just stepped on the mud's feet and became more forceful.
