Chapter 49 Bargaining Chips (I)

"Yes, we'll make fire, or we'll survive in the wilderness, and if you don't believe him, you can ask him if we had any tinder on us when we left the valley."

Lin Yuan pointed to the old man lying on the ground and said.

The old man of Shennong hurriedly raised his head, like a rattle, and said:

"No, no, no...... No, they definitely didn't bring tinder, I saw it very clearly. ”

Lin Yuan secretly scolded in his heart, this old thing, he must have thought that as long as the two sides reached a deal, he would not die, and it didn't matter whether he saw it or not, anyway, he would cooperate with whatever Lin Yuan said now.

However, the chief of the husk clasped his nostrils and pondered for a long time, and it seemed that the temptation of artificial fire was still quite great.

The chief's eyes suddenly rolled, and he said:

"The thaumaturgy of making fire, I've heard before, is that it's not difficult to drill two pieces of wood against each other......"

Lin Yuan laughed and said:

"Drill wood for fire? If you really believe in that legend, I don't think I need to say more, you must not have succeeded in the end. ”

The chief was silent.

Lin Yuan thought to himself, how could it be so easy to drill wood for fire, not only did it require long-term perseverance but also a dry environment, not to mention that the wood had to be a special flint wood and ironwood.

"The way our Yan people make fire is not to drill wood to make fire."

"Oh? What is that? "The Hula Chief is interested.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said mysteriously:

"You don't care about that, anyway, you want to know, we will have someone in charge of teaching."

The chief snorted, then turned to talk to the two tribal leaders beside him, and it was clear that neither of them had mastered the art of making fire manually.

"In this case, forget it, we all have fire, you take the fire, we don't need it."

This grass skirt chief seemed to have made up his mind to get more things from Lin Yuan.

"Chief...... Stone Jar ...... Fire boils water...... "The old man still did not give up, and whispered to the chief.

The Straw Skirt Chief looked dazed, "What? ”

Lin Yuan coughed dryly, and hurriedly ordered someone to take the old man down, this old thing, sooner or later, he will leak all his hole cards here, this is a taboo in negotiations.

"Oh, he's saying that water can be used to extinguish fires, I don't know how the fires of your tribes are preserved, maybe you think you are safe, but in case of heavy rain, or flash floods, or enemy invasions, can your fires be saved? Who among you can guarantee that your fire will never go out? ”

Lin Yuan threw out his own opinion.

"If it's gone, we can borrow it somewhere else!" A lean man, standing behind the Straw Skirt Chief, couldn't help but reply.

This person should be one of the two tribes united by the Shennong clan.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and said to the tall and thin man:

"The chief is right, but don't forget, how can anyone borrow fire for you in vain? At least a dozen wild boars are indispensable, right? ”

Lin Yuan's words seemed to hit the heart of the chief, and the tall and thin man who said it kept nodding yes.

"Therefore, once we learn how to make fire, your tribe will be able to live for generations, and you will no longer have to worry about the fire going out, and you will no longer have to look at God's eyes......"

Lin Yuan was trying to broker this deal, and in an instant, an idea suddenly popped up for him, that is, if Anna was by his side, he would definitely vigorously oppose Lin Yuan's method of making fire as a bargaining chip, because it seemed to be the most valuable asset of the Yan clan.

But Lin Yuan didn't think so.

According to the evolutionary history of human beings, these primitive people will have to learn the method of artificial fire sooner or later, but Lin Yuan has advanced this process slightly, however, as more and more people have seen Lin Yuan make fire, this secret will inevitably not be kept for a long time, since all primitive people will have to learn this trick sooner or later, it is better to use it as soon as there is still transaction value.

This is the quality that a qualified diplomat needs to have, that is, to exchange the least price of Party B for the most resources of the other party.

"Hmmm......"

The Straw Skirt Chief pondered for a while, then couldn't help but nod his head and said:

"Okay, then that's it, let's release people, how can you tell me about this method of making fire?"

Golden opportunity!

It was just that moment now, Lin Yuan had already thought a lot.

Perhaps, it is also possible to use this advantage to establish an effective means of controlling other tribes. You must know that the current number of Yan tribes is still very small, and in addition to the leading technology, there is no other strength to confront these border barbarians, especially when the other party unites three tribes and the number of people is several times that of ours.

With his mind already decided, Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"That's not difficult, each of your tribes will send a person to our Yan tribe to receive miraculous training, and when they finish their studies, I will send them back, and he will naturally teach you."

"Well, speaking of releasing people......," the Grass-Skirt Chief muttered for a moment and asked:

"When will you release the people you have detained?"

Lin Yuan replied briskly:

"Let it go now, come on, get ready, as soon as our people come back, let the old man go."

The chieftain suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:

"Did you only put back one grass picker?"

"That's right."

Lin Yuan replied disappreciatively.

"That's not right! And one more, two of us are in your hands! ”

"Oh, you said Ah Fu, right?" Lin Yuan suddenly realized, he said, "Ah Fu can't do it, he can't give it to you." ”

The Straw Skirt Chief was furious, and he yelled:

"Why!? This deal is not done! it! Return me Ah Fu back! ”

Lin Yuan shook his head with a smile and said:

"Chief Chief, don't get me wrong, it's not that I, King Yan, don't want to let Ah Fu go, but he himself doesn't want to go back, I don't believe you ask him."

Lin Yuan turned sideways and gave way, and a thin and weak young man walked up, sure enough, it was Ah Fu.

It turned out that since Lin Yuan knew that Big Tooth was ambushed, he hurriedly took the two hostages, Ah Fu and the old man, to the valley, and he knew that Ken would come in handy.

"Abba...... I'm sorry, I don't want to go back......"

Ah Fu muttered in a low voice.

The crowd was in an uproar.
