Chapter Twenty-Eight: Nothing Difficult in the World

Where there is a will, there is a way, there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart!

Su Yang knows the importance of the bazaar, and the market is like the market and the market, and it is also equivalent to the economic and political center of the smallest unit. But he wants to open a bazaar in the Rock Tribe, but it is not so simple, and there is a long way to go.

"It's back, Sue is back,"

"It's Sue back, everyone, come on."

A large wave of primitive people is approaching, and in the blink of an eye, Su Yang and the others are surrounded, and this time is the most suitable time to brush up on prestige.

So he didn't delay, and hurriedly took out the things they had brought out, a lot of carnivorous beast skins, and so much salt. As for the mammoth's tusks, it was too conspicuous, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to hand it over, not because of a small loss.

"God, how can there be so many skins."

"Come and see, Su Yang has changed a lot of skins."

In the midst of the noise, someone has already reached out and picked up the leather and touched it, and others have also done the same, although they have to hand it in in the end, but it doesn't matter if they touch it.

The four elders also arrived, and Su Yang stepped forward to report the situation, the core was to book a lot of clay pots to go out, and to exchange these skins in advance, and to deal with the Yan clan, which would only be a cursory mention.

Then he changed his words and said loudly: "Winter is coming, with these skins, the clansmen don't have to be frozen, if it's not enough, I can get more back next time I go to the ruins." ”

"Harvest, harvest."

The tribesmen began to make a fuss, and everyone wanted to have a furry animal skin to keep warm in the winter. Especially at night, there is no guarantee that the fire will burn all the time, and if you don't get it right, you will get frostbite, or even the tragedy of the dead, and last year someone from the Rock Tribe died in winter.

Carnivorous beasts are very difficult to hunt, and warriors who go out hunting will not take the initiative to provoke them, so each tribe has very few hairy hides.

After the four elders deliberated, they decided to take out only half of the leather to sew clothes, and save the rest for the rest to discuss how to use it when Matsu returned. Then let Su Yang continue to burn pottery and pay off the account next month.

As for the transactions with the Youyan clan and the chaotic tribes, they are all handled by Su Yang himself, as long as he does not suffer losses, perhaps because there are too many people involved, the elders can't count it at all, so they choose to just look at the results. Just like today, Su Yang brought back so many skins, as well as ivory and salt, they didn't dare to think about it in the past, in the face of such a situation, of course, they were extremely satisfied, and they also recognized Su Yang's trading talent.

But Su Yang said in his heart, sure enough, Matsu is not here, but it is better to do things, since this is the case, he is not polite.

Early the next morning, the remaining warriors of the tribe went out hunting, and whether they succeeded or not, they would return before dark. It's autumn, and it's not just humans hunting, but animals too, and the woods are even more dangerous. Not all jungles are inhabited by primitive people, and there are some very dangerous places that even primitive people do not want to enter.

Su Yang's most important thing now is to fire pottery, and he can't even extract the time to melt the meteoric iron, roughly calculated, he owes a total of forty-nine pottery to the eighteen tribes in the bazaar, four pottery from the Chao tribe, one hundred pottery from the Right Yan Clan, plus the rock tribe itself also needs pottery, at least he has to burn nearly two hundred pottery within a month, and at least eight pottery must be made every day.

Now there are exactly eight people making pottery for him, all about fourteen years old, and the children who have come to help.

Su Yang will be giving a task to each of these eight people to hand over a finished pottery product every day, and they can find someone to help, but they must see so many pottery every day, if they can't do it during the day, then they will work overtime at night.

He would also come over to help if he had time, and he took the opportunity to transfer Ma Mu from the collection team to the pottery team, so that Ma Mu at least did not have to go out, and it was far safer to stay in the tribe than outside, and his Ma Mu was very capable, and I believe that he would soon learn how to make pottery.

In addition to this, he asked the elders to arrange for a large amount of wood to be cut down and stored for firewood, which was not an easy task, because the stone axe could only be regarded as a blunt weapon. If you want to say that the work of cutting trees, the eighteen kinds of weapons are not as good as the axe, so he struggled for a long time, and finally decided to use that piece of meteorite to make an axe.

As for his veterinarian castration tools, he actually only needs to use a little meteorite iron with a baby fist, and then the remaining meteorite iron is enough to hit an axe.

There was too much to do, and he couldn't keep busy for a while, and at noon he fired a batch of pottery that had been dried before, there were twelve, and he could burn a batch the day after tomorrow, and then it was time to set off to have salt in front of him. The reason why he insisted on facilitating this deal was also an unknown purpose, that is, he wanted to copy the salt mines.

Youyan is not far from the Rock Tribe, the distance to the ruins is about the same, although it takes a day's journey, but in fact it is only a maximum distance of thirty kilometers, and it takes eight hours to travel four kilometers per hour in the jungle.

Theoretically, within 100 kilometers of Youyan, there is a possibility of a second, thirty-second salt deposit. That's right, Su Yang wanted to carefully observe the environment of the salt mine over there, and when he figured it out, he would organize a salt exploration team when he came back, and strive to find such a salt mine near the rock tribe.

As long as a salt mine is discovered, it can be mined for many, many years, and even passed on to future generations. Even if salt mining is not easy, it is not a problem for him to create better tools as a modern man.

In Su Yang's plan, as long as such a salt mine can be found, a new bazaar can be built based on it, plus pottery, bamboo, breeding, planting, etc

He can also set up a tribal alliance and wait until he becomes an adult, trying to find a way to centralize power.

It's a little bit farther away, and the most important thing now is to get through the winter ahead.

"Barbarian, you bring someone to chop some big bamboo for me back, I want bamboo of this hardness, pay attention, cut it from the roots, and don't break the top." Su Yang instructed that he used these bamboos just to transport the salt and brine back.

Taking Nanzhu as an example, a large Nanzhu can hold seventy or eighty catties of brine, and he only needs a dozen bamboos and a dozen people to transport a thousand catties of brine back to the tribe.

In addition, the salt brine is often deep underground, and for a long time in later generations, in fact, bamboo tools such as Nanzhu were used to collect brine, just like using buckets to draw water in deep wells.

Soon, some bamboo felled back, and Su Yang gathered people to find a way to poke off the knots in the bamboo, that is, to keep the end of the knots from breaking, and bucket the bamboo from the other side, so that the bamboo became hollow. When the time comes, pour the brine from one end of the bamboo, and then seal the seal with ink or something, and it is done.

Easier said than done, but fortunately he still had a day and a half to finish, and during this time he used clay to create a small stove similar to burning honeycomb coal, which required the use of a yellowish refractory clay.

This kind of refractory clay also belongs to the clay category, but it is extremely resistant to high temperatures, about 1,500 to 2,000 degrees, without deformation. In later generations, this kind of refractory clay can be sold for 300 to 600 yuan a ton, and the main use is to burn bricks and stoves.

With this kind of heat-resistant furnace, it will not be a problem for him to melt the meteorite iron, and when the time comes, he is using fine sand to model, pouring out the molten iron, and he can form the tool he wants, of course, he still needs to polish it in the end, if he wants to build an axe, he also needs to carry out the process of hammering, unsealing, etc., which is more troublesome, so when he is busy for a while, he will slowly deal with this matter.

PS: It's been busy these days, one chapter a day for the time being, and I'll make up for it next week, thank you for your support.
