Chapter 804: Bartering
War is cruel to everyone who lives at the bottom of society, and they are powerless to change anything, but can only accept the arrangement of fate in obedience...... Moreover, Yuan Muye also heard from Jacob's words that Labrador's father, that is, the leader of the marmosets, Abragon, should be a very cruel person, and the massacres that occurred in the Northern Jin Dynasty should also be at his behest.
Yuan Muye now only hopes that Labrador will not become as brutal as him after inheriting his father's leadership, otherwise the battle between the Tamarin and the Northern Jin Dynasty will never end......
When it was dark, Labrador walked back with a blue face, and then Yuan Muye realized that he was living in the other party's tent. It can be seen from this that Yuan Muye's current treatment and captives are not related to each other at all.
Seeing that Labrador was in a bad mood, Yuan Muye didn't speak, and Jacob on the side asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" You're not going to be at odds with the leader again, are you? ”
Labrador ignored Jacob's words, as if this was a matter of course, and then he sat down next to Yuan Muye with a tired face, then looked up at him and said, "Is there any way to end the war?" Let the people of the tribe live in peace and contentment? ”
Yuan Muye knew in his heart that for the people of this period, it was really a luxury to want to have no war at all, and it would not be realized at all, even if someone stood up and took the lead to end everything, but would war really never happen again?
I'm afraid not necessarily, once the single leader is overthrown, then history will repeat itself, and no matter who is the subject of the war, the victim will always be an ordinary person like Jacob......
Yuan Muye thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely that it will end forever, but you can take the marmosets to find a balance in this." ”
"What balance?" Labrador said puzzled.
"What are you fighting now?" Yuan Muye asked.
When Labrador heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "You have also seen the situation of the tribe, we marmosets just want to live a stable life like the people of the Northern Jin Dynasty......"
Yuan Muye shook his head with a smile when he heard this, "So you guys are robbing?" What you plunder does not really belong to you. ”
"Isn't hunting also a form of plunder? That's all we marmosets have in our bones......" Labrador's face showed a hint of wolfishness.
Yuan Muye sighed when he heard this, "So you marmosets don't know what you want in your heart at all?" Is it a stable life, or is it the pleasure of plundering others? ”
"Are the two different?" Labrador asked.
Yuan Muye said helplessly, "Of course it's different, if you just want a stable life, there are thousands of ways, and you don't necessarily have to get it through war...... With your current situation, you will only get poorer and poorer, and there will be fewer and fewer adult males in your tribe, and then you will really not be far from the extinction of the dead race. ”
"Thousands? So what are the ways to get a stable life? Labrador said with a look of disbelief.
Yuan Muye thought for a while and said, "What you need now is food and recuperation, to put it bluntly, you need time to make the population in your tribe have a large number, and there are frequent wars with the Northern Jin Dynasty like now, it is already difficult for the population of your clan to maintain a balance, where will it grow?" ”
Labrador fell into deep thought after listening to Yuan Muye's words, and after a while, he said faintly, "If we don't go to grab the grain of the Northern Jin Dynasty, what will our people eat?" Snake Bean? That thing is even unpalatable to the livestock of the Northern Jin Dynasty...... If there is no food, how can we talk about population growth? ”
Yuan Muye shook his head when he heard this, "Because this idea of yours was wrong from the beginning...... Why do you always want to plunder others? Isn't bartering okay? What if anyone wants to snatch your cattle by brute force? What will you do?! ”
"Of course it's fighting with them!" Little Jacob said without hesitation.
When Yuan Muye heard this, he looked at the Labrador and said, "No one is a fool, don't you think so about others?" After so many years, do you really think that the people of the Northern Jin Dynasty are easy to bully?? ”
After hearing this, Labrador asked a little incomprehensibly, "What is barter?" ”
Yuan Muye thought for a moment and explained, "It's to exchange what you have in your hands for what you have in other people's hands...... To put it simply, it is to exchange your cattle, sheep, horses, animal skins and other items that the Northern Jin Dynasty people do not have for their food, cloth, iron tools, and other things that you do not have. ”
Labrador fell into deep thought again after hearing Yuan Muye's words, perhaps they marmosets had never thought of it that way, Yuan Muye's statement opened up a new way of thinking for them.
If it weren't for his personal experience, would it really be difficult for Yuan Muye to imagine that people thousands of years ago had such a tendon in their thinking patterns? I don't seem to know how to deal with things flexibly......
After a while, I heard Labrador say slowly, "I just had an argument with my father over something, so I don't think he can accept this ...... Novel point of view. ”
Yuan Muye nodded and said, "I can understand what you said, after all, you have been like this for nearly a hundred years, but have you ever wondered why your life has become more and more miserable in the past few decades?" Haven't you ever thought it was time to make some changes? ”
When Labrador heard this, he picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the coals next to him, saying, "Sometimes change comes at a cost...... The fact that you can say such things is enough to prove that you are really not from the Northern Jin Dynasty, so you don't know some things back then. ”
Yuan Muye was slightly stunned, he heard that there was something in the other party's words, so he asked, "What happened back then?" How old were you back then? ”
When Labrador heard this, he laughed dryly, "What if there wasn't me at that time?" ”
After that, Labrador told Yuan Muye a story about thirty years ago, when the leader of the tribe was Labrador's grandfather Jiang Grab, at that time, although Jiang Graib did not think of Yuan Muye's barter, but he had also agreed to make peace with Sulong, the king of Jinling at that time in the Northern Jin Dynasty.
For this reason, Suron also sent a five-member mission to the marmoset, in order to show the importance of this matter, which was a good start, but he never thought that things would have inexplicably developed in another direction.
At that time, after the five-member delegation came to the marmoset, they were warmly received by the leader Jiang Grapp, which was basically the highest standard of the tamarin hospitality that year......
