Section 593 Barter

The military appearance is neat, the armor is clear, and the weapons are sharp.

And the crossbow!

Don't look at Bai Ping, there are only five hundred people, they are really not enough to see these thousands of people, I am afraid that if they don't rush closer, they can kill half of their men and horses with that crossbow.

The rest of the half, looking at the person who cut down a thick giant tree with a single sword, has no confidence in melee combat.

At this time, a thousand people arrived.

These 1,000 people did not line up, but put out an encirclement formation, with 1,000 people to surround more than five times the number of soldiers and horses, if placed in the Central Plains, it is estimated that no one would dare.

Now, nothing to fear.

The crossbows were arrayed, and the already chaotic people began to gather more tightly, and they were also afraid.

"Sit all on the ground!"

Bai Ping spoke, and no one in the field could understand. Some stepped forward, others stepped back.

Bai Ping motioned for a Qin soldier to come out of the ranks, and then asked the Qin army to sit on the ground.

Nobody understands!

Bai Ping was a little crazy, untied the knife on his body and stuck it on the ground, and then stepped forward with a wooden stick.

Bai Ping was using his own way, using movements and wooden sticks to prepare to communicate with these barbarians.

Let's talk about winning Jiang's team.

The Yan people have long heard of the prestige of the Great River Guard, and at this time they are in charge of the guards, saying that they are guards, in fact, the Yan people of these ten hundred-person teams can only be regarded as the outer guards, and each team of the Great River Guard is accompanied by ten Qin soldiers.

The Swallow Guards are more responsible for carrying the baskets.

"I haven't seen this. Smell it should be some kind of spice, collect fifty servings. ”

In just two hours, fifty baskets were filled.

There is no star anise, cardamom, and grass fruit in the Central Plains here.

Not just grass, but trees.

The men of the Great River Guard cut down the tree, the bark, the gum, the branches, the leaves, and the fruit.

That's not enough.

The roots of the felled tree are still being dug out, and then the trunk is divided into core and bark.

Fifty baskets were filled, and in fact it was less than fifteen miles from their camp, and it was only a bend out of the camp and into a mountain.

On the way back, there were bales of grass again.

As long as it's not documented, it's not seen, and the people in charge of looking for it will bring back at least fifty samples, and then study what these things are for.

Or how to use it.

In the evening, more people came from the periphery of the surrounded men, but they did not dare to advance in the slightest.

The people who were surrounded were warriors, and those who came from outside were just ordinary people from the tribe.

Bai Hui and King Qin also arrived here.

At this time, Bai Ping did not succeed in forming communication with these people, and he was completely unable to understand the language.

If it weren't for Bai Hui's order, don't start a war easily, Bai Hui just wants to cut down or all of these people, and then tie them up as slaves.

The reason Bai Hui disagrees is that some of them are aborigines, and some of them are related to Jiupu.

There are also people who came from the Central Plains hundreds of thousands of years ago.

In any case, even according to the thoughts of later generations, the people here are half of their own people, so Bai Hui doesn't want to cause killing here.

Bai Hui arrived, and the encirclement got out of the way.

On the other side, some of the elders of the tribe who had come from the tribe also approached, and Bai Hui motioned to lead a few people who volunteered to come.

There are a few who can really understand a little Central Plains dialect, but it can only be the southerner Chu dialect.

Bai Hui didn't understand at all, some of the scribes in the Qin army were Chu people.

Even if it is a Chu person, listening to this dialect is also based on guessing.

"Dahe-kun, it may be difficult to ask why they are fighting, and it is still a melee." The scribe's face was bitter.

Bai Hui can also understand that it is difficult to communicate with language, and it is difficult to know such a complicated thing!

However, Bai Hui didn't care much about why they were fighting.

Five baskets were placed in front of an old man who could barely communicate a few words, and then Bai Hui threw a few grass fruits into the basket, which Bai Hui actually knew was used for cooking.

This is still the original fruit, and if it weren't for the fact that Dahewei, who was in charge of researching these plants, cut the fruit in most ways, Bai Hui would not have known that the original grass fruit was red.

To be precise, the fruit is red, and a large mass grows at the root of the grass.

The fruits that Bai Hui threw in were naturally known to the locals, and as for what it was for, they didn't figure it out.

"Five baskets, one piece of cloth."

If it doesn't make sense, just put it.

The five baskets were set aside, and then a sackcloth was placed on the other side, and then they were exchanged.

The locals seem to understand.

After an old man yelled a few words in the local language, several young men ran away with dozens of people on their backs.

Bai Hui was not in a hurry, and ordered people to put food and wine on the table.

The people of the tribe over there also brought in the food of those warriors in the encirclement, and the Qin army also began to prepare the food. But the encirclement was only relaxed, but not lifted.

About an hour later, the young men returned.

Some baskets are full, and some baskets are dissatisfied, but they must all be grass and fruits, and this thing must be found when it enters the forest.

A scribe beside Bai Hui stepped forward and took out the excess in each basket, and made up for the deficiency with the excess, exactly five baskets to ninety, and the basket could not be completely filled, because it still had to be covered.

The excess part is pushed up separately.

Bai Hui took the five baskets of freshly picked grass and fruits here, and then gave the young man at the head a sackcloth.

"If, understood?"

Bai Hui asked in vain, and the language was not understood at all, but the locals understood that as long as the basket was full of things, they could come here to exchange.

A man pointed to the knife that Tong Ge was holding and slapped the basket again.

Bai Hui laughed loudly.

laughed because Bai Hui was embarrassed. How will this answer, how many baskets of grass and fruits will be exchanged for this knife?

Do you exchange it, or do you want to send some weapons in exchange for friendship?

Bai Hui himself didn't understand it.

However, since you want to gain a foothold here, then you have to communicate with the people here, Bai Hui finally took an ordinary horizontal knife and handed it to the man, and the man also understood that this was a gift.

That night, he rushed to take someone to hunt a crocodile and came back as a return gift.

That night, a local woman had already begun to learn how to weave baskets, and weaving 10 baskets could be exchanged for a beautiful wooden comb, or 100 baskets could be exchanged for a colorful garment.

Bai Hui, on the other hand, is very focused on studying how to eat this crocodile meat, whether it is roasted or grilled.

King Qin wanted to make a pair of boots for himself out of crocodile skin.

Surrounding the fire, a master craftsman of Dahewei thanked the king of Qin for the wine, and explained to the king of Qin: "Your Majesty, when it comes to our grass dyeing, it was very good hundreds of years ago, and our Qin country is not strong, and there are special grass dyeing ones in the Qi country. ”

"Plant grass!"

"If you go back to the king, you will plant grass. Just say this blue, don't say it before the blue dyeing, now our Qin country is divided into Huai blue, big blue, big blue blue, water blue, big green, small green, Benqing, garden green ......"
