Chapter 51: The Big Problem of the Banpo Dolphin

After the party, there is the torture of endless hangovers.

"For the last time! The next time anyone dares me to drink, I will make him a eunuch!" Tang Ge hugged his head with a splitting head and scolded viciously.

"I woke up early!" Aoyama asked with a smile on the side.

"Uncle...... Help me...... I want to drink water......" Tang Ge played the dead dog, lying on the bed and moaning.

Qingshan casually carried the teapot at the head of the bed and handed it to Tang Ge. Tang Ge was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and drank a pot of tea in one gulp at the spout. Red dates and wolfberries with kudzu, the sweetness is the most warm, for people with hangovers, this pot of water is simply a liquid of elixir.

"Are you better?" Aoyama asked with a smile.

"It's finally rejuvenated......" Tang Ge lay on the bed and let out a long sigh.

"Tell uncle, what is your idea of fighting the pheasant clan?" Qingshan was still smiling, but there was a taste of scrutiny in his words.

"How do you know I'm going to hit them?" Tang Ge asked blankly.

Qingshan sneered: "Not only do you have to let the big stone accompany you to the market, but you also went to the pheasant clan to eat sparrows." How long have you been since you had a meat? ”

Tang Ge stared at the top of the tent and said blankly, "I fell in love with their hunting grounds. ”

"What do you want their hunting grounds for?" Aoyama asked.

Tortured by a hangover, Tang Ge still had no love, and said lightly: "I want to build a city there." ”

Aoyama looked serious and asked in a stern tone, "What if they don't give it?" ”

"They'll give it." Tang Ge rubbed his temples and said distressedly, "I will convince them." ”

"What do you use to convince them?" Aoyama asked.

Tang Ge asked with a surprised face: "Of course it's interests!" What do you think it is? Do you think I'm going to fight them? ’

Aoyama breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Then what if they still don't agree?" ”

"Then continue to think of other ways......" Tang Ge closed his eyes with a painful expression.

Zhongzhou, Erhugou.

The old sickle led the caravan day and night, cautious along the way, and finally there were no accidents, and An An returned to his nest alive.

To his surprise, the thirty boxes of goods he brought back caused a cracked earthquake in the tribe, and even more unexpectedly, the wizards, chiefs, and clan elders agreed that all of the gold artifacts must be left behind, and none of them should be left out. But the Banpo dolphin can't be offended, so the Banpo dolphin's request also makes the clan elders hurt their brains. Now the greatest job of the clan elders is to stay in the chief's room with their beloved gold weapons in their hands, and discuss solutions to the matter every day.

As for the old sickle, although the goods brought back made him greatly increase his status in the tribe and received the treatment of a hero, he did not have to consider the question of whether to use all the property of the tribe. Therefore, as long as he is happy all day long, he can enjoy happiness at home, and occasionally go out for a spin and feel the respect and envy of the clansmen, which has become his greatest enjoyment.

If you are used to winning people, you will not be idle. After only three days of rest, the old sickle began to get bored. He felt that no matter what the tribe's decision was, it was time to prepare the first shipment for Banpo Dolphin. So after reporting to the chief's house, the old sickle took a large amount of goods with him, and went to join the other caravans to prepare for a carpet purchase.

"What do you want for the Banpo dolphin?" The complacent old Lian sat on an animal driven by slaves, his thoughts fluttering.

"Slaves, salt, grain, hides, cloth, livestock...... And elephants. Scratching his head, Lao Lian said to himself: "What do Banpo dolphins want so many slaves for?" They have enough slaves, and although they have just fought a battle, I heard that they have not suffered any casualties...... In other words, how do they feed so many slaves? ”

The same question, Qingshan is also asking Tang Ge.

"You want so many slaves, how are we going to feed them?" Tang Gejia, speaking of the question about the far-traveling caravan, Qingshan asked Tang Ge with a distressed expression.

Tang Ge was also quite distressed. He wanted to build a city, but it took manpower to build a city, and slaves were the best manpower. But slaves are easy to buy, and those turtles in Zhongzhou can't wait to stare out when they see their glassware, especially those large glasses made according to their totem style, which are like supreme gods in their minds. Seeing such a treasure, they can't wait to bow and worship, how can they let their totem become a commodity and circulate around, not to mention, the caravan of Erhugou said that all the glazed ware is unique, that is to say, no matter what shape of the artifact, there is only this one in the world. If you miss it, you will forever lose the opportunity to obtain this kind of treasure, and for this opportunity, they are willing to let them go bankrupt, let alone just buy slaves in their hands.

These glazed wares were indeed made by the totems collected by Tang Ge from Lao Yao's hands, and this is also the reason why Lao Yao dared to speak wildly and said that he would move the Kongzhou tribe. At that time, as long as some wealthy tribes have their own glass totems, those who are not so wealthy will probably be sucked by the caravan of Erhugou. After all, everyone else has a totem treasure, and if they don't have it, they will naturally look inferior.

Slaves are easy to buy, animal skins are easy to buy, and even livestock and native products are not a problem, but the biggest problem is how to feed a large number of slaves after they reach Banpo.

The fruits of farming are abundant, and everyone can see it. But this year's output is not much, based on the current population of the tribe, saving a little food, it is indeed enough to eat for more than half a year, but if these grains are moved, next year's seeds will be gone. How to choose, the clansmen naturally distinguish clearly.

Banpo dolphin also has a hunting ground, and the hunting ground is very large, but the hard thing, in the hunting ground of Banpo dolphin, the field where you can really hunt prey, is not close to the Banpo dolphin tribe, and with the increase in the population of Banpo dolphin and the popularization of gold weapons, the prey in the hunting ground has become less and less, and it is almost impossible to rely solely on hunting to feed such a huge population. This is also the reason why in the entire wasteland, even if the power of Niutou and the previous Heyang is so strong, the total population is only four or five hundred. Because no matter how large the population is, it really can't be fed.

With such a huge population base, food can't be moved, hunting alone is not enough, and gathering is a drop in the bucket, Qingshan really can't think of any solution for Tang Ge, so he is skeptical of Tang Ge's decision to buy a large number of slaves.

Tang Ge was also distressed, he was not an immortal, and he couldn't conjure food out of thin air. Traversers are not omnipotent, no matter how many ideas you have, the output of a piece of land is counted, how much output to feed how many people, without sufficient food reserves, blindly developing the population, is actually a terrible decision.

In fact, it is a good idea to move some people to the hunting grounds of the Heyang tribe, but Tang Ge, the territory of Heyang, is useful, so he explained early that he could not move there. Another way is to start a war, exterminate other tribes, rob them of their resources, occupy their hunting grounds, theoretically, if this development continues step by step, Banpo dolphins can monopolize the entire wasteland. But if he does it, then Banpo Dolphin is not far from extinction. Because once they rely on strong force to start a war for no reason, then they will face the combined anger of all the natives in the entire wasteland, and such anger is enough to destroy the scum of Banpo Dolphin.

If there is not enough food in one's own hunting grounds, and other people's hunting grounds cannot be moved, then the only ones who can make up their minds are those ownerless lands.
