This is the third time that the third trade fleet has come to the snake tribe, and like the last time, this time the third trade fleet is still directly docked at the river section of the first residence of the snake tribe, and directly contacts the first residence of the snake tribe or the residence of the snake tribe master.

After coming to the first residence of the snake tribe, Shan Lin and Wu Han of the third trade team accepted the invitation of the high priest of the snake tribe to enter the residence, and the high priest personally received the two.

The high priest is the highest person in the snake tribe, and Shan Lin and Wu Han are just two minor officials in the Ministry of Commerce, and the identities of the two sides are not equal, so it stands to reason that the high priest does not need to come forward, but every time the third trade fleet arrives, the old high priest will personally receive the guests of the Xia Kingdom.

In the eyes of the high priest, the Xia Kingdom is mysterious and powerful, and the snake tribe is far inferior to the Xia Kingdom, just from the big ships, exquisite weapons, snow-like salt, comfortable clothes and other things that can be seen on the surface, you can feel the strength of the Xia Kingdom.

The snake tribe has boats, weapons, salt, and linen, but none of them can catch up with the Xia Kingdom.

The snake tribe is a peace-loving tribe, and generally does not take the initiative to attack other tribes, the snake tribe relies on its own natural development into what it is today, and with the current strength of the snake tribe, no other tribe dares to attack.

The High Priest did not think of using war to quickly increase the population of the Snake People tribe and make the Snake People tribe stronger, but he thought about increasing the strength of the Snake People tribe in other ways and improving the living standards of the snake tribe.

This "other way" mainly refers to the level of science and technology, as long as science and technology progress, the strength of the snake tribe will increase, and the living standards of the people will also improve.

From the snake tribe to the dragon tribe to the Xia country, to be more precise, the Xia country is crushing the enemy with a higher level of technology, the vast majority of the enemies of the Xia country are in the Stone Age, and the Xia country has entered the Bronze Age, this is a gap in the era, it is difficult to make up for it with the number of people.

The High Priest didn't know the word "technology", but she understood that the technology of the snake tribe was not as good as that of the Xia Kingdom, and the snake tribe needed to learn some better and more advanced technology from the Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, when the third trade fleet comes to the snake tribe, the snake tribe will trade, and all the goods carried by the third trade fleet, the snake tribe will be more or less exchanged for some, the snake tribe wants to research better technology from the goods of the Xia country, and even the snake tribe wants to trade a big ship, but the snake tribe does not have items of sufficient value forever, and the third trade fleet will not trade ships to the snake tribe.

The progress of a technology is not a simple matter, from blister copper to pure copper to bronze, if it weren't for Su Yan, Xia Guo didn't know how much time he needed to waste if he wanted to complete these three steps, and he needed a lot of time to slowly explore.

Now the snake tribe has the copper weapons of the Xia country, but if you want your tribe to cast a copper weapon of similar level, it is impossible to succeed without five years, and then refine pure copper or even bronze, hundreds of years or even a thousand years have passed.

From the first contact to the third contact, a year has passed, and the snake tribe has gained a little experience from the commodities of the Xia Kingdom, so that individual techniques have been improved to a certain extent, such as textile technology and weaving rattan shield rattan armor technology, these two technologies are still relatively simple things to obtain a certain improvement, but it still takes a long time to reach the level of the Xia Kingdom.

Last year, the Third Trade Fleet made contact with the Snake People Tribe for the second time, and the High Priest said that the Snake People Tribe wanted to obtain some of the technologies of the Xia Kingdom, but Zhao Lin politely refused on the grounds that "these technologies are very precious".

The High Priest also understood the preciousness of these techniques, and without mentioning them a second time, the High Priest turned around and invited the people of the Third Trade Group to enter the residence as guests, and as he spoke, he wanted to understand some of the things that the snake tribe needed.

If the third trade fleet invites the people of the snake tribe to the Xia country as guests, the snake tribe will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and does not care that the snake tribe is very far away from the Xia country, and sends as many clansmen as possible to the Xia country to "steal" the advanced technology of the Xia country.

The snake tribe doesn't have much sense of the purpose of the Xia country, the Xia country still has to contact, and the snake tribe with a large population can still bring more benefits to the Xia country.

The Snake People Tribe has noticed that the natural disaster is declining, and the third trade team will also tell the Snake People Tribe the exact information, and the Snake People Tribe is very interested in the goods of the Xia Kingdom, and then take out animal skins and various crops to trade.

Crops are needed by the Xia country, and animal skins are also needed by the Xia country, the former is not mentioned for the time being, just the latter animal skin, the snake tribe has so many people, it is possible to take out thousands of animal skins for trading at a time, and can take out so many animal skins at once, at present, there are only the Japanese tribe camp, the fishing tribe, the snake tribe and the nomadic tribe.

Xia needs the cattle and horses of the nomadic tribes, it is impossible to trade the hides of the nomadic tribes, if you want to get more hides, you can only start from the farming tribes, the hides can be made into fur coats, leather armor, leather boots, etc., no matter how many hides can be consumed.

On the one hand, the snake tribe can bring benefits to the Xia country, but on the other hand, it is to collect the intelligence of the snake tribe and prepare for the Xia country to enter the region in a big way in the future, and sooner or later the snake tribe will also be the target of the Xia country.

From the Xia country to the snake tribe, it takes about twenty-seven days to sail with a B-type ship, and the time will be shortened to about twenty-two days if it is replaced by an improved version of the fastest A-type ship in the Xia country.

Now the Xia Kingdom is still designing and building faster ships, maybe it will not take a few years, it will only take fifteen days or even less for the Xia Kingdom to reach the Snake People Tribe, and it will be possible to sail back and forth once a month, and then the Xia Kingdom can pay more attention to the area east of the Fishing Tribe.

In the first residence of the snake tribe, the high priest knocked on the side to ask Wu Han and Shanlin, but he didn't get much useful information, in Wu Han and Shanlin's words, the high priest could feel the strength of the Xia Kingdom the most.

There is no need to continue the conversation, the high priest directly asked the clansmen to take out crops and hides and trade with the Xia Kingdom, at present, it seems that if you want to get better technology, you can only rely on the snake tribe to study it yourself, and before you research it, you can trade more with the Xia country, anyway, there are many things used to trade in the snake tribe.

After completing the trade with the snake tribe, the Third Trade Fleet continues to sail east, and perhaps there will be even greater gains waiting for the Third Trade Fleet.
