Chapter 90 The Cotton Clothing Economy
Luo Ze and his team returned to the tribe very late that day, and the tribesmen were worried and waited at the door with torches, but fortunately they were only delayed because of the late departure, and not in an accident.
"Isn't the road easy?"
After standing outdoors for too long, the breath exhaled will condense, and Jun Qianqian's eyelashes are hung with two rows of small water droplets.
"Don't worry, it's just that the business talks have delayed some time."
Roze reached out and lifted her eyelashes and pinched her cheek again.
Cold, it seems that she has been waiting for a long time.
"What kind of business can be talked about all day."
Jun Qianqian pouted and complained, and also helped others take out the goods in the basket, she wanted to see what treasures she had changed this time.
"Baa-baa——!"
Before Jun Qianqian's hand touched Luo Ze's basket, she heard a strange sound coming from inside.
"What's that?"
Jun Qianqian was frightened and immediately took two steps back.
"It's a lamb."
Luo Ze smiled, he took the white lamb out of the basket and handed it to Jun Qianqian like a treasure.
"Oh my God! Why did you carry a living creature back! ”
The little lamb struggled very fiercely in Luo Ze's hands, as if it was about to be eaten if it didn't do its best now, but when Jun Qianqian hurriedly took it, the little lamb blinked its eyes with long pupils, and it was inexplicably quiet.
"This is the plough you chose?"
Jun Qianqian's whole person is almost stupid, how weird is the scene of the sheep pulling the plow!
Besides, the little lamb is so small, it is estimated that it is not as strong as her!
"Isn't it just right for a sheep to be of the right size and docile in character?"
Luo Ze didn't understand Jun Qianqian's stereotype, and smiled like an insurance salesperson.
"What you said makes sense, the animals in this world are all one size bigger, the cows are too big to use, and it's not bad to choose sheep!"
Jun Qianqian suddenly realized, she was still holding the head of the lamb in her hand, and she couldn't stop at all.
But when the little lamb grows up, won't it have to be next year?
"There are other sheep that haven't been delivered."
Luo Ze knew that she liked such a cute animal as the little lamb, and the wild tribe promised to send the adult goats over as soon as possible, and they could also catch the spring ploughing.
"What did we get it for?"
Jun Qianqian knew that their tribe's pork market was very good, and Kaisha finally didn't have to worry about the superborn pigsty.
"Cotton clothes."
As soon as Luo Ze's words came out, it was originally just a conversation between the two, but everyone watched it.
"Cotton clothes?"
"Isn't it our secret that padded clothes?"
The tribesmen stopped distributing the goods and gathered worriedly to ask.
"It's okay, we have a lot of secrets, not bad for this one."
Jun Qianqian comforted everyone casually, but Luo Ze chose to exchange cotton clothes for live sheep, I am afraid there are other intentions.
"Sooner or later, the fact that we can weave cloth and make clothes will be known to other tribes."
The Purple Flower Tribe can't help but communicate with other people, and as long as someone comes to their tribe, it is not a long-term plan to withhold the secret.
After all, it's too unfriendly to go and have no return, and they don't want to go to war.
"What's more, it's not enough if we are rich, other tribes are too poor, how can we make money?"
Jun Qianqian thought about it a long way later, they now have iron tools, and the practice of keeping it secret, using it, and making it public can keep the tribe at the top of its strength without losing the market.
"So you agree?"
Luo Ze breathed a sigh of relief, don't look at the time when he promised to do business, his aura was not good, in fact, he still minded a little in his heart.
The use of cotton is the credit of Jun Qianqian from beginning to end, and he is reluctant to give it to others.
"Of course I agreed, when did I mind this?"
It's not so much that I'm afraid that Jun Qianqian will be unhappy, but that everyone has a special complex for cotton clothes.
Just as now that there is plenty of food, everyone still likes to eat grilled fish, and the things that made everyone feel warm and full at the beginning are exchanged with people as ordinary goods, and the people are a little sad.
"I still have a lot of things, and if someone else learns a trick or two, we won't starve to death."
Seeing that everyone had a sad look on their faces, Jun Qianqian hurriedly comforted everyone.
It's just that in the evening, she and Luo Ze still discussed the deal in detail.
"We only exchange clothes with that wilderness tribe."
The box in Jun Qianqian's hand was full of cottonseeds.
"But sooner or later, they'll figure out how to make cotton clothes."
Roze didn't understand what she meant.
"We trade the methods of cotton planting, spinning and weaving to the mountain tribes."
Jun Qianqian is still thinking about this old neighbor of theirs.
But Luo Ze was at a loss, what does this have to do with the mountain tribe, the wilderness tribe couldn't afford to buy the animal skins of the mountain tribe.
"We have to form an alliance with the mountain tribe, the cotton clothes of the Purple Flower tribe can already be self-sufficient, and the rest can be sold, but our tribe has few people, and it is troublesome to sell ready-to-wear clothes, so it is better to sell technology."
Anyway, it's not the first time to make a deal with a mountain tribe.
"In this alliance, we will not come back with different things, but will make an agreement that the two sides will not attack each other, and if there is a battle between each other's tribes, we will support each other."
Business alliances are no longer suitable, and what Jun Qianqian wants is a strategic alliance.
"You want to turn the mountain tribes into our weapons?"
Luo Ze understood it at a glance and immediately understood her plan.
"What you said is so ugly, it's obviously common development and progress together!"
Jun Qianqian slapped the table dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry!"
Luo Ze immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
But in the long run, what Luo Ze said is not wrong at all, they have technology and weapons, the mountain tribes have population, no matter which family fights, who will support whom, it is the few people who have the advantage of Purple Flower.
"In addition, we can also give them a copy of the calendar, 3,000 words, and arithmetic textbooks."
This is a big step.
In order to increase the population of the tribe, Jun Qianqian thought of a lot of ways, the grass next to the nest was the closest, and the rabbit was so hungry that he could only eat.
In addition to natural fertility and tribal warfare, there is another way to increase the population that no one knows.
That is the assimilation of civilization.
Speaking the same language, using the same script, and keeping a similar calendar will give the two tribes a natural sense of identity, and if the two tribes do merge one day, it will be easy to accept each other.
The Qingzhu tribe suffered such a loss, and no one wanted to suffer a second time.
"I see."
Roze nodded.
What's more, such a low-cost and friendly thing as cotton clothing will definitely become popular, the market for animal skins will be greatly reduced, and the income from hunting will gradually decline.
Maybe one day, their purple flowers can pull the people of the mountain tribe into the big family of farming.
When the time comes, selling seeds and tools will be a lot of income!
Luo Ze, a business genius, touched his chin with satisfaction.
