Looking at the ancient trading method of bartering, Li Cheng felt very disappointed, it was only a matter of time before this trading method was replaced, but I don't know why here, it has not changed for a long time, even if there is not much communication between villages, but someone should also find the disadvantages of this trading method.

Although he regretted it in his heart, Li Cheng didn't say anything, the continuation of this trading method must be driven by these wizards behind it, otherwise it should have been eliminated long ago. This is someone's political affairs, and even if you understand it, you can't say it.

The most powerful people enjoy the best things, this unwritten rule is appropriate no matter where it is placed, even in the northwest Miao Frontier, the house where the Wizard Zhen lives is the largest and the most luxurious. And there were many slaves in his mansion, slaves, not servants.

Compared with the villagers wearing rags and linen clothes outside, the life of the Wizard Zhen here is not bad, even the slaves are better than the outside, and they are really the seven-rank officials of the prime minister's family.

Entering the Wizard Shock's mansion, the Wizard Earthquake called a slave and said, "He is from Kyushu, he came to Miaojiang to explore, and he was almost killed, but I saved him." ”

Li Cheng blinked, a little bit didn't understand what the Wizard Zhen meant, although Miao Jiang is located in a remote area, inaccessible, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts, but not all Kyushu people are afraid of here.

There are still many adventurous people who go here, this person should be one of them, but I don't know whether to say that he is lucky or unlucky, he survived, but became someone else's slave, and life and death are in the hands of others.

A slave is not the same as a servant, everything about a slave belongs to the master, even life, and the next generation, that is, to become a slave, if nothing unexpected happens, then not only him, but also his descendants will be slaves.

But servants are different, servants only obey the orders of the master, work for the master's house, life and offspring are still in their own hands, and several large cities have laws protecting the names of servants.

Wizard Zhen always likes to leave half a sentence when he speaks, he called the slave, introduced his identity and then said no more, the meaning should be to let Li Cheng understand it himself, but the ghost can guess what he means, Li Cheng can't guess it, so he simply doesn't guess, anyway, Wizard Zhen didn't say it explicitly, he continued to pretend to be stupid.

Entering the living room, if this is also a living room, in the largest room of the Wizard's Mansion, a table, a bed, a few chairs, this is all the furniture, it looks very simple, but in fact it is not simple at all, the table and chairs are made of unknown wood, the hardness is extremely high, and there is a fragrant smell, which is refreshing.

The bed is made of a kind of stone, and it should be warm jade when it is warmed up, and there are these few things, and the furnishings that originally seemed simple immediately rose I don't know how many grades.

Li Cheng is a person who knows the goods, and he fell in love with the ...... in the Shaking Wizard's room at a glance The bed, in such a damp place, with such a bed, is like eating a cool popsicle on a dog day, in one word, cool.

But no matter how cool it is, it is someone else's, Wizard Zhen obviously understood Li Cheng's eyes, but he pretended not to see it, sat down and said, "Please sit, come here, serve tea." ”

A slave took tea and hot water, just flushed it, and then left, the wizard said: "This is the habit of you Kyushu people, I didn't like this thing at first, but after drinking it for a long time, I feel that I can't do without it, and there seems to be a taste in the tea that invades people's souls, so that you are reluctant to leave." ”

Li Cheng picked up the tea and took a sip, the ordinary high crushed, I don't know if it is the businessmen outside or the people here can only come into contact with this kind of tea, the taste of high crushed is naturally not tasteful, this is those small restaurants when it is hot to brew tea and boil a big pot.

It is specially given to people who work on the road, one bowl is a penny, and two bowls are also a penny, as long as you can drink it, you can be full for a penny. Putting down the teacup, Li Cheng didn't make an evaluation, and turned the topic to the other side: "Wizard Zhen, I'm new here, and I don't know what the pattern is here in Miaojiang, I only see that there are many small villages, but why don't the small villages unite together? The environment here is not so safe." ”

The Shaking Wizard sighed and said, "I won't tell you anything, we have a total of four major tribes in Miaojiang, which worship the Vermilion Bird of Fire, the Xuanwu of Water, the Green Dragon of Wood, and the White Tiger of Gold. Each of the four great tribes worships four gods. My water Xuanwu clan worships the water god Xuanming, the fire Suzaku clan worships the fire god Zhurong, the wood Qinglong clan worships the wood god Goumang, and the gold white tiger clan worships the golden god Beishou. There have been contradictions between the four tribes since ancient times, and the small tribes under their command are naturally in constant disputes. In the past few hundred years, the people of Kyushu have entered Miaojiang and let the four clans know the outside world, so they have converged a little, but where are the contradictions accumulated over thousands of years so easy to eliminate. ”

Li Cheng listened to Wizard Zhen talk about the social structure of Miao Jiang, and the shock in his heart was incomprehensible, he didn't expect the social structure here to be so perfect, but the development was a little deformed.

According to common sense, if you divide for a long time, you must be together, and these four big tribes should be together if they have been separated for so long, but they have been in a state of struggle, which may have something to do with different beliefs. Let the water tribe people who believe in the Xuanwu of water worship the god of fire, how awkward that picture is.

Speaking of the Tall Shock Wizard, Li Cheng said: "I can't imagine that Miao Jiang's life is so exciting, and war is an eternal topic for human beings." I thought that if you were in Miaojiang, everyone would be more peaceful, at least not like in the Xuanhuang Continent, where there is an open and secret fight between several major sects, even the disciples of the sect are also fighting fiercely, I can't imagine that it is even more exaggerated here. ”

Li Cheng just sighed and did not express any opinions, he was an outsider, and it was inconvenient to get involved in other people's internal affairs. The Shaking Wizard continued: "Who said it wasn't, you see, if it weren't for the war, if the four tribes could have united, this Miao Frontier would have been developed a long time ago, and it would not be so closed from the outside world. ”

"Hey, you're using this development very well, could it be that you're also a traverser?"

"I'm not, the setting of this book, you are the only one who travels through time. The topic is off topic, in this area, the village of my Xuanwu clan of water is the most powerful, and other small villages are not as powerful as my village, but I don't dare to annex other small villages without authorization, you may guess why?"

Li Cheng thought for a while and said: "It should be that there is an agreement between several big tribes, it's okay to fight, but you can't engage in such a thing as annexation, right?"
