Chapter 44 Commercial Civilization in the Making
I'll go! If you talk to a girl about this, I can still echo you a few words, you talk to Po Yi and Hui about this, how do you ask me to echo you! Li Qi pretended to be stunned: "Huh? What did you say? The signal here is not good, and the inner ... Xiaobai, I remembered something about the exchange, let's go over there and talk, don't disturb the chicken prostitutes. ”
The sick Xiaobai perked up and said, "Okay! ”
Nong also said: "I will go too." ”
He is not interested in mating, he is only interested in eating.
The three of them came under the tree.
Xiaobai asked, "Are you going to exchange your clothes for my fish?" ”
"Huh?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, I want to talk to you about the exchange between Wild Lake and Blackstone Valley." ”
Xiaobai said: "Hasn't Po Yi already agreed?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "The exchange is for sure, but we still have a lot of details to discuss." ”
"Details?"
"It's just... Let's put it this way, how many fish you can provide us with in as many days, and how many stone spears and rattan ropes we can provide you with in many days, if one side is more and one side is less, it will create an imbalance of exchange, you only need one stone spear, but I have made ten for you, which means that there are nine stone spears that are useless. ”
Xiao Bai listened and couldn't help but lower his eyebrows and think.
This look is rare to see in this era, and only people who are full of wisdom will know how to think.
"Yes!"
Xiaobai suddenly raised his head and said excitedly: "You're right, and... Oh, the details, tell me about the details. ”
His sick face showed a strong desire to learn.
Li Qi smiled modestly and said, "Actually, I also thought of it suddenly, but I really admire you, you can come up with such a good idea of exchange, in this way, we can taste and eat fish in Blackstone Valley." ”
Xiaobai scratched his head and smiled, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
It seems that he really came up with it, judging from the attitude of Po Yi and them, this should be the first time that the Yehu Department has asked for an exchange, which means that he has just come up with it. Li Qi narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "That's right!" I've heard that there are a lot more people in your Wild Lake Department than in our Blackstone Valley, and if you just mate with us, I'm afraid you won't be able to satisfy you. ”
Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "We also mate with four tribes." ”
"Really?"
Li Qi's eyes rolled, and he thought to himself, since he will not let go of a small tribe like our Black Rock Valley, then he will definitely exchange with the other four tribes, in this case, hehe, I'm really sorry, only you have to deal with us, and I can only use you to help us break the shackles.
Although this Xiaobai is smart, he is not the opponent of Li Qi, an old driver.
Li Qi soon learned from Xiaobai that he wanted to know all the news, the journey from Yehu to Blackstone Valley was about fifteen days, and it would take a month to go back and forth, in fact, the distance was relatively far in terms of their foot strength, and if Li Qi wanted to go, it was estimated that it would take two months.
Although fifteen days is not too long, it is impossible for primitive people to visit every day, because of food and the possibility of danger on the road, it is not easy for them to come once.
In addition, in addition to the Wild Lake Department, there are four large tribes outside, the smallest of which is more than the number of people in the Black Rock Valley, after all, the Black Rock Valley is almost closed, and it is not a traffic fortress, so it is difficult for outsiders to enter, and it is difficult for the population to develop.
The rest of the tribes were not subject to this restriction, and their populations were growing much faster than in Blackstone Valley.
When they were almost talking, some people came out of the cave one after another, all with comfortable expressions, and Xiaobai was also called over by his companions.
Li Qi asked Nong, "What do you think?" ”
Nong looked at Li Qi with a puzzled expression.
Li Qi said: "It's about the exchange?" ”
Nong pondered for a moment and said, "If only we could exchange our bowls with them." ”
Li Qi sighed and said, "Why? ”
Nongdao: "It takes a lot of effort to polish stone tools, how fast it is to make a bowl, and we can burn many bowls at a time, and if we can exchange bowls for them, we can exchange them for more fish." ”
This is also a bit of Shennong's meaning. Li Qi nodded with satisfaction.
Nong said, "Li Qi, can you make this fish more delicious?" ”
I take back what I just said! Li Qi's eyes shook a few times, and he said, "I haven't eaten fish a few times, and I'm not very good at cooking." ”
Nong scratched his neck in frustration.
"Let's not talk about this in advance, let's get the exchange done first."
"Isn't it already decided?"
"Didn't you say the same, it would be better to exchange bowls with them."
"But they want stone spears and rattan ropes!"
"That's because they haven't seen our bowls." Li Qi smiled and said, "But you can't reveal this matter first, I will arrange it." ”
Nong nodded and said, "I know!" ”
At this moment, someone shouted at the entrance of the cave, "Nong, come here." ”
Nong glanced at Richie.
Li Qi laughed: "You can go, but if you want to eat more fish, you must not talk nonsense." ”
"I see!"
Nong nodded, and left.
After the farmer left, the corners of Li Qi's mouth raised slightly, and he said in his heart, this is the first transaction I have made here, and it may also be the first transaction of mankind, and I must let it go down in history. Soon, soon I will be able to break the shackles of Blackstone Valley, and then I will see what the so-called Heaven will decide.
Li Qi saw that the chicken prostitute was with Xiaobai, and he talked endlessly, and he didn't need to listen to it to know what he was promoting, so he quietly went to the stream.
"Richie, is there anything wrong with you?"
Po Yi asked.
Li Qi asked, "Po Yi, how many days will they stay here?" ”
Po Yi said: "Three days." ”
After holding back for so many days, this number of days is reasonable. Li Qi nodded, sat down, and said, "Po Yi, I want to talk to you about the exchange with the Wild Lake Department. ”
Po Yi said: "Isn't this matter already decided? ”
Li Qi sighed and said, "Just now Nong proposed a very good idea, I think it is feasible. ”
Speaking of ideas, Taba's eyes lit up and he said, "What idea?" ”
Li Qi said: "It is to use our bowl to exchange with them, because it takes many days to polish a stone spear, and it is very laborious, but it does not take much effort and time to make a bowl." ”
Hui said curiously: "Didn't you say that you should hide the bowl well, and more things are better than less things?" ”
At that time, I didn't even know who Yehubu was, of course I had to seek stability, but now it's different, now they are a flock of lambs, it's up to me to do this. Li Qi coughed lightly and said: "I didn't know about the Yehu Department before, and I was worried that they would come to rob it, but now they have proposed to exchange ideas, which is really a good idea, since there is an exchange, then don't worry about them coming to rob it." ”
Po Yi nodded and said, "But they want to exchange our rattan rope and stone spear in Black Stone Valley. ”
Li Qi said: "I have a way to get them to take the initiative to ask to exchange bowls with us, it depends on whether you agree or not." ”
Po Yi said: "If they want to, then of course it is good. ”
She is not stupid, now the production of pottery in the Black Stone Valley is increasing day by day, everyone has a few bowls, and a batch can produce several bowls, but if the stone spear is used, a person can produce one for many days.
"We can take out the bowl, but we still can't reveal the method of making the bowl, so that we can exchange the bowl for the fish and meat of the wild lake forever, and if they can also make bowls, then they won't exchange it with us." ”
This is not difficult to understand, Po Yi nodded, and said to Hui: "You go and arrange it." ”
