Chapter 16 Hidden worries emerge

The merchant team, from the very beginning of everyone relaxed and happy all the way forward, now most of the merchants began to have the idea of nostalgia for the merchant village, and there are now some outsiders in the team, their thoughts are more complex and difficult to grasp.

Now, some of the original house rules in the convoy have also begun to be destroyed and not followed by some outsiders and some restless merchants.

Everything is in Shang Wu's eyes, and Shang Wu knows very well in his heart that now the merchant convoy has begun to look up to the rotten ship with water and rotting wood from the new wood and new ship at the beginning.

Shang Wu really wanted to change the status quo and set rules for everyone, but now was not the time, he had to find a suitable place to settle down, settle down, and then use rules and etiquette to restrain everyone and assimilate outsiders.

Now the merchants on the road are short of people and goods, and use the small amount of food to provide for outsiders, in order to increase the number of people, and then slowly intermarry with the tribesmen to assimilate them and gather more people to do things for the family.

And let everyone settle down in a blessed land, you can start to lay the foundation through farming, and it is also convenient to intermarry with those outsiders, after all, risks and dangers can occur at any time along the way, and as long as the rules are set down, even if there is a problem, it is a foreseeable problem.

This is the original intention of Shang Wu to discuss the settlement issue with the deacon in a hurry five days ago, before that, the stone probed that although there were a few good places in the geographical information, it looked good on the surface, but when he thought about it, Shang Wu was also shocked in a cold sweat.

Firewood, rice, sauce, vinegar, tea, salt, iron cloth paddy fields, most of them are materials, and they are inseparable from daily life, and some of them have regional specialties, which are not convenient for production and manufacturing in any region.

Firewood is the main ingredient for cooking and building houses, and the place of settlement must be close to a deep forest or a hill with trees, which is convenient for collecting firewood for cooking, cutting trees and building houses. The last four items are daily food needs, not every meal, but must be eaten every day.

Salt iron cloth paddy field is the foundation of the family, meals are inseparable from salt, otherwise it is swollen and weak, and it will cause illness and death; Iron smelting products or smelting products are daily necessities, scissors, kitchen knives, various kitchen utensils and weapons of family soldiers, etc., which can be related to the convenience of family survival and safety protection; Cloth and linen and other things are also indispensable, otherwise one is a lack of courtesy and shame, the second is unable to prevent insects and animals, and the third is that it cannot withstand the cold and heat in winter, which is also very important; Water is the foundation of life, but it is inevitable that life is extremely inconvenient, you have to get water from a distance, and the field is the main source of food, even if there is no livestock and no meat, but the high-yield and easy to store and eat field crops is the hope of everyone's survival.

So the settlement that I thought was very good before was abandoned by Shang Wuyi one by one.

As for the settlement determined by the family discussion a few days ago, Shang Wu was not very satisfied, and some of the circumstances were still very unclear. In view of the current situation of the convoy, the lesser of two evils is the case, and it is a matter of settling even if it is not possible. All the time, you can only see the moves.

Not to mention what unknown things await in that settlement, and what unknown events will happen along the way. Shang Wu has not slept steadily since that family meeting, and every time Lu Lu pats Shang Wu's back in the middle of the night to coax him to sleep.

————————————————

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. , After another ten days, Shang Wu received information, and finally some people despaired of this endless migration, and woe to Xiao Wall.

After all, the three outsiders have not been constrained by the rules, and there are not many things arranged every day.

One night, the three outsiders began to complain when they were on duty, before they were just whispering and muttering in private, and now they have evolved into releasing negative energy when they are on duty, and the more they talk, the more excited they are, and the merchants around them who are on duty at night are also moved, and the emotions are like fire, as long as there are conditions, you can quickly become a dragon that devours everything from a very tiny little spark.

In this way, day after day, from the complaints and chatters of the three outsiders at the beginning, to the various rumors that followed, there were all kinds of unbelievable or laughable versions, some people said that they were going to the ancient place of sacrifice to sacrifice, some people said that they would be sold as slaves, and some people said that Shang Wu was dying of illness, and now there were no dragons in the family, and so on.

In the human world, there must be people who like to mess with right and wrong, and some people fish in troubled waters, and slowly these three outsiders look down on each other, and each of them has gathered people to support them, and they have also instigated some businessmen to join, and then see the opportunity to seize power or property. That is to say, in the team of Shang Wu, in addition to his own master, he provided them with food and shelter, and as a result, he also recruited a wolf of wealth.

In this case, both the doorpost and the big ass reported the situation of the three outsiders to Shang Wu separately, and Shang Wu was thinking about the response and gains and losses while waiting for more information about the three outsiders.

Shang Wu knows very well that one more person is one more person who works hard, and now it is only a temporary satisfaction for them with food and accommodation, and after a long time, it is like an employee who eats and stays, and even if he is not harsh and attaches various benefits, he will stay for a short time.

Giving up these people means that the food and material loss invested in these people in the past and their output ratio are bound to be a loss-making thing, and it also involves some businessmen who mishandle it, and outsiders will inevitably have more complicated thoughts in their minds, and the disposal of the businessmen involved will inevitably cause instability in the family, coupled with the instability in the family after a long period of migration, it is likely that there will be a big mess.

After all, this is just a larger ordinary family, and there is no strong clan etiquette and strong constraints, once there is a big mess, many people will inevitably deviate from morality, and even some people will leave, and it will be difficult to win people's hearts. If you think about it further, if it affects the core people in the family such as stones, doorposts, and small fish, then the business that is separated from this vein will be finished.

Here's what we've gathered about these three outsiders:

The three are called crow, gray rabbit, and snail.

Of the three, only Grey Rabbit is male, the rest are female, and all three are around seventeen years old.

The information reported by the gate post to the crow is that the crow lived in the mountains before entering the convoy, and has experience in picking fruits and mushrooms in the wild, and also knows a lot of wild vegetables, and is not as powerful as the road in hunting and archery, but is an expert in hunting traps and finding water in the wild and other wilderness survival, and the convoy is a rare expert in the outside.

And the situation reported by the big ass is a bit gossipy, the content is that the crow believes in ghosts and gods, and she does not specifically believe in a certain ghost or god in her heart, but that one believes in that one who is powerful, and that ghost and god will benefit her more and sacrifice more tribute. And every time she goes out, she can always get good treatment and a lot of help and convenience with those mountain people through the issue of faith.

In addition, the crow admires the very strong, but she always says that the person who can make her worship to death has not yet appeared. So she just wants to be celibate until the strong man she has been waiting for all her life and serve him.

The situation of the other two is more scattered, and the goalpost and big ass have not yet been reported.
