Lin Ji didn't know that after the two little characters muttered for a while, he took a few turns on the edge of life and death.

His muttering to these two people was somewhat devoid, but also a little helpless.

As the largest tribe in this area, Human faintly controls everything in this vicinity, and obviously has the power of life and death over the Jilin tribe. The number of people in the Jilin tribe at this time is so small, if they really want to make a move, Lin Ji has no way to resist, at most they can only take a few close people to escape.

But in fact, this is not very likely.

Judging from the contact with Hu Yi'er or various legends, Hu Man is actually a fairly principled tribe that will not attack and annex its surroundings casually.

Lin Ji estimated that the tiger barbarians did not obtain food through domestication or cultivation at this time, which would also limit the size of their tribe. Therefore, they only controlled this tribe and did not annex it.

After this battle, Ji Lin also showed off his muscles in front of them, and they wanted to conquer Ji Lin, and they also had to consider the cost or payment. In addition, with Hu Yi'er as a buffer, it stands to reason that as long as Lin Ji pays more, it is enough to buy a piece of peace.

Now there are probably only two things that Ji Lin makes the tiger man tempted, pottery and bronze. The method of making pottery has almost completely been dedicated. The rest is probably just talking about bronze.

Lin Ji guessed that the auxiliary woman and Xu Yu muttered all the way, just for this, so they didn't have to worry too much.

After walking for a long time, Lin Ji asked everyone to stop and rest, and Xu Yu, who had an unkind face, came over: "Qizi even dares to cheat us, and he is not small." ”

Lin Ji knew that this was coming, but his expression remained unchanged and said, "What is this about?" The gray wolf violated the majesty of your tiger barbarian, we are like a family, side by side against the gray wolf, where is there such a thing? ”

Xu Yu said: "So we have to thank you?" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Thanks no. Gray wolf, these captives will probably not be brought back, so just stay in Ji Lin to help us do things. Lin Ji laughed.

Lin Ji knew what he was talking about, and he knew that they didn't like the rotten flesh and roots and the like, and they weren't interested in the captives—because if they wanted someone, they would send them over without any captives. So let's take the benefits first.

Xu Yu snorted coldly: "Yes, these people are yours, you can find some savages to come over, but in one spring and autumn, you can have more than half of the people, and you will get a lot of gains." The auxiliary woman is not too satisfied with this, or shall I let her come and talk to you?" ”

Lin Ji didn't have a good impression of that greedy, arrogant and mean woman at all, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, you are kind and kind, I can talk to you better, let's talk about it between the two of us." ”

Xu Yu snorted coldly: "My hands are full of, and I don't want to dirty you." ”

"Hehe, is the most honest and can reflect all kinds of things, in fact, it's not dirty to think about." Lin Ji smiled.

It's just a little disgusting. I just said this sentence in my heart.

Although Xu Yu was disgusting, after getting along with him these days, Lin Ji still had a good impression of him. This guy didn't run by himself when he found the snow monster, and he knew to pick up the forest trail and take it away. Somewhat affectionate.

In contrast, when Xu Yu was pulling the tiger's intestines for help, the auxiliary woman just threw the axe out indiscriminately. It can be seen that he is cold-blooded.

And he dared to face the saber-toothed tiger himself, not to mention, in the face of a more ferocious snow monster, he also dared to go out to find out, these courages were enough to be admired by Lin Ji.

Talking with such a person, Lin Ji is willing to suffer a loss. It's like making friends.

Xu Yu continued to say coldly: "The gray wolf is gone, I saw something and you understand it even if you don't say it." For example, the footprints of the man who escaped from the hot spring were the same size as the footprints of the one-eyed savage...... I won't delve into any of this. Let me ask you, what did you say to my Yi'er, have you said it so far? ”

"I'm talking about it now." Lin Ji was seen through by others, a little embarrassed, and laughed again.

Xu Yu said angrily: "I'm not talking about emotional intelligence!" I'm talking about pottery and Jijin! ”

"Emotional intelligence is a good thing, but it's a pity that you don't understand ......" Lin Ji muttered, and said with a correct attitude: "Okay, let's still talk about these two things, how do you want to talk about them?" ”

Tell Hu Yier these concepts, and when she gets to know the people around her, she will form a clearer organization, and when she learns stronger people, it will be easier to grasp the direction. Lin Ji really felt that this was a good way for Hu Yi'er to continue to be strong. Far more valuable than these technical things.

Of course, these things don't see the value of the tiger barbarians now, and there is no way to talk about them.

"How do you make pottery and sing it?" Xu Yu looked at Lin Ji and asked.

"Sacrificial singing?" Lin Ji didn't react for a while, and wanted to say that this thing is superstition, pottery burning is science, and he wants a fart to sing.

Thinking about it deeply, Lin Ji understood the truth and said, "I originally wanted to teach Hu Yi'er this, but since you asked, I won't hide it from you." ”

"You remember, you have to take the soil from the sunny slope, there can be no sand and gravel, mix it with clean water, and knead it into shape. After that, put it in a shady place, without contact with sunlight and rain, from the full moon to half of the moon. Then choose a sunny day, put the embryo in the furnace when the sun is in the sky, and burn it continuously until sunset. On the second day, the sun rises and the pottery is taken out, and it is basically done. The festival begins at the time of the furnace and is sung until the sun sets. The word is 'cake cake, pan duck pan duck...... Big brother, you have 400 pounds of duck in your hometown, and you brought it to Panama ......'Ahem, remember?' ”

Lin Ji said it seriously, and this is not a fool. In this era when there were no clock books, some rituals may have recorded the steps and time required for certain things. Lin Ji really didn't tell Xu Yu the time of firing pottery before, but now that he asked, Lin Ji felt that he was actually asking about the time of firing.

This passage has the method and time, and it is the perfect answer.

The lyrics in it are in Mandarin of later generations, which is quite different from the language of this era, and it sounds a little strange but quite rhythmic. Xu Yu didn't suspect anything.

It's just that Lin Ji thought that when they were firing pottery, there was an old guy singing "Cake Cake" next to him, and he wanted to laugh. I don't know who can sing this song?

Xu Yu asked Lin Ji to repeat it a few times, struggling to memorize these, and then asked, "What about Jijin's production method?" ”

"Jijin's method is much more complicated than this, or I'll write it to you." Lin Ji flipped through his back basket, and took out a hairless animal skin from it, and then turned out a charcoal strip, and wrote: "This volume is a bronze method of cheats, and the following omits 1,500 words and 20 schematic diagrams, if you want to know the specific method, you come and ask me." ”

"What is this?" Xu Yu's eyes widened. He couldn't read a word, but he could see that the symbols were quite regular, not drawn randomly.

"Words."

"Words?"

"That's right, a symbol can represent some meanings, and the above is all the methods of Jijin, you do it in this order, and you're good to go."

Xu Yu took the animal skin roll upside down, looked left and right, and suddenly fell into the ice and snow: "I'm talking to you now, don't lie to me again!" I don't understand at all, how do you tell me to make it? ”

Lin Ji spread his hands and said, "That's the problem." Jijin is very difficult to make, and there are many steps, and most people really can't remember it, so it needs to be recorded in words. And there's a lot going on in this picture. For example, the subdivision and selection of ore types, the equation of chemical reactions, the temperature of flames, the physical properties of Jijin, and so on. If you don't figure it out, you won't be able to understand it. ”

Xu Yu's eyes widened and widened, and he really hadn't heard any of the terms Lin Ji said.

Lin Ji continued, "So, in fact, you can't make Jijin. To put it bluntly, you just want to get Jijin, so why do you have to make it? Like if we want to eat meat, why do we need to know how meat is grown? Let's just go hunting, right? ”

"You're letting us rob you?" Xu Yu asked with a glare.

Lin Ji said: "I have to say that this is also a way. But this method will give us less than thirty weapons at most. And you may have to lose some people. I have a better proposal than this. We're going to make Jijin weapons and give you some every fall, what do you think? ”

"So even if I give you ten pieces every fall, you will get thirty pieces in just three falls, and after four years you will have more than you can rob us. And without losing people. Lin Ji continued to do arithmetic problems for Xu Yu.

There is some quantitative dispute between the two sides. The final agreement was as follows:

Ji Lin contributes twenty bronzes to Human every year. Ten of them required the Tiger Man to pay a certain amount of population or food as a cost.

Ji Lin can recruit wild people or small tribes from the surrounding area to become bronze craftsmen to a limited extent.

Ji Lin must send half of the adult healthy men to participate in the hunt.

After saying this, Xu Yu quickly picked up the cheats on the ground with the bronze production method, solemnly rolled it up and stuffed it into his arms, humming the tune that there are four hundred catties of ducks in your hometown, and left happily.
