Chapter 79 The Stubborn and Stubborn Muya Clan
Since the addition of a group of Ukrainian workers, the progress of the preparations for housing construction has greatly accelerated.
The stones on the construction site are increasing every day, and mud bricks on the river beach also appear in pieces, slowly covering hundreds of meters of river beach.
The logging speed has also accelerated a lot. More than ten pieces can be cut down every day, but the stone axes are consumed very quickly. Several pieces of cut and scrapped a day, and the production is almost impossible to keep up with the consumption speed, which gives Xu Chen a headache.
On the fourth day after a group of Wu people left, nearly twenty men from the Muya tribe adjacent to the Wu people also came to exchange items with animal skins and various goods.
The goods they brought were similar to those of the Wu tribe, nothing more than animal skins and some of the ores that Xu Chen was interested in. The items they wanted to exchange were mainly pottery, and they were not eager for magical fabrics.
Mainly because winter is coming, there is a greater need for food and clothing. Although linen is light, it is far less than animal skins to keep warm.
However, under the temptation of pottery, they were not allowed to squeeze out a lot of animal skins to exchange.
In fact, as early as a month before the Wuzhu Conference, Xu Chen was already preparing for this pottery transaction, using large kilns to continuously make pottery, mixed with some lime and tiles.
It is not difficult to make a piece of clay with clay, especially simple pottery such as bowls and dishes. After proficiency, you can make hundreds of them a day. Medium and large pot pots and pots are relatively difficult, and the output is naturally small, but after accumulating slowly, it is not small at present. As long as you control the transaction price, you can basically meet the transactions with several tribes.
Moreover, the needs of all tribes can be roughly calculated based on the number of people.
Therefore, Xu Chen implemented a planned economic model for pottery.
On the premise of satisfying the Ba people's own use, production will be carried out according to the needs of the other four tribes.
Moreover, this kind of demand cannot be met at one time. After all, firing takes time and process. When other tribes cannot produce and produce it themselves, they can naturally use transaction prices to control the output of goods.
He wanted to use this method to maintain the sustainable development of the Ba people in pottery and weaving.
This winter, Xu Chen roughly planned that each tribe would meet one-third of its pottery needs.
It seems that the control is relatively good now. The first large-scale transaction of the Wu tribe used more than 100 fur goods to exchange hundreds of pottery bowls and dozens of pottery plates and pottery cups, and also replaced nearly 30 pottery jars and pottery kettles of large and small, as well as more than ten pottery pots and pots.
If you take these things back, almost every cave tribe can divide them to temporarily meet your living needs, but the number is far from enough.
However, the excess animal skin of the Wu tribe has been consumed. In addition, winter is approaching, and more animal skins have to be distributed to the tribe members to keep warm, so it is almost impossible to exchange them for a second time. Even if there are, there are very few, and it will not affect his plan.
Although Xu Chen has explained that it can be exchanged for ores such as coccinate and chalcopyrite, these two ores are not only heavy, but also have low value, and they cannot be exchanged much.
As for turquoise, amber and gold, although Xu Chen also collected them, the quantity was too small and almost negligible. At most, he could change some auxiliary pottery such as spoons and spoons. For these primitive people who were basically picked up by their daily luck, it was almost impossible to search specifically.
Apart from pottery, the demand for fabrics will not increase until spring begins.
Spring is cold and cold, the temperature is hot, not hot, not cool, it is too hot to wear fur, it is too cold to wear, and it is almost the same in autumn.
Therefore, light and comfortable linen clothes become the best choice.
Therefore, after doing the pottery business in winter, it will attract the linen business in spring.
After two or three years of this, the wealth accumulated by the Ba people is quite considerable.
When the big house is built and the land and farming is successfully opened at the foot of the mountain, if he can raise a large amount of ore to smel out bronze swords and axes, he will be able to take the Ba tribe to complete a perfect civilization upgrade mission.
Then annex the five tribes...Nice!
Xu Chen was immersed in the success of his plan and felt a burst of happiness and pride, but soon he was made to rush the temples by a group of savages who came to trade in the wood teeth.
Because after the group of people arrived, they saw the stone houses, pottery, pottery blanks, and the fire kiln in the kiln factory. They cried and howled for a long time. They finally stopped. After taking out the goods they brought to exchange, Xu Chen kept thrusting.
There were only more than thirty animal skins in total, and the quality was very poor. The remaining things were messy, including beast teeth, claws, feathers, colorful stones, and more than ten dried fish and two baskets of winter melon-like melon-like melon-like vegetables.
It would be fine if there was less messy things, but the problem was that these guys were still very angry and wanted to replace all the pottery under the awning. They even pointed to the largest pottery jars and yelled, and then threw down a few pieces of ragged sheepskin and wolf skins and wanted to put them in their own basket.
The actions of the Muya tribe naturally annoyed the kiln workers and the Ba people, and they almost started fighting shortly after they met.
In the end, these people stopped and left the awning under the ridicule of the Wu people, and then began the formal transaction under the gaze of a group of people.
However, this transaction is even more heartbreaking than the transaction with the Wu tribe.
They also took out one animal skin and one animal skin to exchange it, but what's even more ridiculous is that even the same species of animal skins have to be different in size. In order to change more pottery, two animal skins have to be stacked together to show that this one is larger than the one above.
What made Xu Chen laugh the most was that these people looked stupid but were actually not stupid. They would always compare the smallest traded fur inside.
Of course, this trick is a big deal in Xu Chen's eyes.
He was not used to the Wu tribe at the beginning, and he was even more unwilling to be used to the Muya tribe.
After all, the Wu tribe is also the largest tribe nearby, and it has the qualification to bargain. Moreover, the fur goods brought by others seem to be carefully selected and good goods. Obviously, under the influence of the great witch, the Wu tribe still cares about the quality and face of this transaction, reflecting the mind that a big clan should have, and does not bully the weak with the big with the big.
Therefore, although Xu Chen also felt that the deal with the Wu tribe was time-consuming and heart-wrenching, the ending was still very happy.
But this Muya tribe is not only poor, but also very stingy and stubborn.
Fortunately, Xu Chen was in the limelight at the moment, almost with the halo of half a witch, and the Muya tribe did not dare to make too much. In addition, with the ridicule and ridicule of a group of familiar Wu people, the Muya tribe finally exchanged according to the same conditions as the Wu tribe and did not get any advantage.
After changing all the animal skins one by one, the Wood Tooth Clan obviously felt that the exchange was far from reaching the goal, so the next few piles of stones had to be taken out to exchange them piece by piece.
Xu Chen smiled angrily.
A group of dogs who had never seen the world made you think I miss these broken stones, such as green pine, gold like fire, and all of them were garbage. So when facing the Muya tribe, Xu Chen directly refused this method of exchange, pointed to a few piles of messy stones, then threw a few pottery bowls and spoons and spoons, and then told them righteously whether to love or not, just carry it back.
A group of Wu people were making excuses next to him, and someone told these Muya people that they had changed these broken stones in this way.
So the Muya tribe finally had to accept the transaction, and they began to pack up and sort out the exchanged items one by one.
This time they came to exchange for pottery that was enough for the entire tribe to use, and they didn't change a single piece of cloth.
But it seems that the goal has not been achieved at all.
Xu Chen also shook his hands and took a group of people to continue working.
The Muya tribe brought less than a quarter of the Wu tribe, but it took two hours to complete the transaction, wasting nearly half a day. He was so angry that he was too lazy to pay attention to these idiots.
However, the Muya tribe did not seem to feel embarrassed. After packing up their own things, he discussed with Muba, who took the woman down to the mountain to help pack up and exchange property. He could no longer go back today and needed to rest in the Ba tribe for one night. Muba enthusiastically expressed that he would arrange food and accommodation.
So a group of bored Muya tribe members ran to the busy construction site where Xu Chen and others were watching, and they were frightened and screamed again.
When they saw the kiln factory just now, they had already screamed for a while.
Judging from the scale of the construction of the Ba people in front of him, it is several times larger than that of the kiln factory, and it occupies almost half of the river beach. There are piles of stones and neatly crisscrossed ditches. The built stone walls have begun to appear inside. In addition, the dense and neat mud bricks on the river beach are completely beyond their understanding of artificial buildings.
In the eyes of many savages, it is an amazing project to pile a wall or pile a stone randomly with stones.
But what I saw and heard in the Ba people today completely broke their cognitive level.
What made them even more confused was that there was a group of Wu people inside who were helping to move stones and step on mud, and they were all very hard, and they ran quickly with the stones in their arms.
"Moxie Gaga?"
A group of Muya tribe members were stunned for a long time and came back to their senses, and someone whispered to each other.
"Moga!"
Almost everyone shook their heads together.
Don’t say that they can’t understand the situation in front of them, they can’t understand it at all.
How could the Wu tribe come to help the Ba tribe work? I have never heard of such exchange activities among tribes.
At first they all thought that the Wu people were also here to exchange pottery.
But it seems obviously not.
So a group of people gathered together for a while and then someone ran up to grab the Wu people and asked carefully about it.
After a complicated gesture exchange, the Muya tribe finally understood and became collectively excited.
They have not completed the task of exchanging enough pottery, so the tribe members may not have enough pottery to make and distribute food this winter, and family conflicts will arise if they are unfair.
They came with a mission, but did not complete the task well. But now they can not only help the Ba people work, but also get pottery. This is completely a pie that falls from the sky for them.
So after a brief discussion among the Muya tribe, the group of people decided to leave some people to exchange for pottery.
Xu Chen is short of staff at the moment, so the two sides naturally hit it off.
With the role models of the Wu tribe, he didn't need to waste too much saliva. He just exchanged a few simple words, and the Muya tribe decided to leave ten people to sell coolies to earn pottery.
As a result, the number of people in the huge courtyard construction team planned by Xu Chen increased sharply again, reaching an unprecedented 29 people.
Chapter completed!
