Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 193: (Retest) The Weather Department
The spices, pottery, and fruits of the Wood Weather Department are quite popular here in the Maritime Weather Department, but leather clothes and cloth clothes are not very popular, and the sea people move underwater and only wear light and waterproof fish skin clothing.
Linen and fur clothing, when entering the water, easily absorb water and swell, become bloated and heavy, affecting their underwater movements, in order to cater to their appetite, the tribe specially hunted big fish, made a lot of fish skin clothing.
The leather clothes produced by the tribe, cut with bronze tools, are also more sophisticated, durable, and curved, and are highly sought after by the Ministry of Maritime Weather, but now they have become a hot seller, and they will be quickly swept away every time they are shipped.
From the hands of the Ministry of Maritime Weather, the trading team also got a lot of good things, compared to the land, the sea area they mastered was much larger, except for those giant beasts, there were almost no competitors.
The special physique structure makes most of the big fish not attack them, and the endless resources under the seabed, you can pick them as you want, and animals and plants aside, there are a lot of minerals on the seabed.
There are crystal clear clams, colorful corals, bright-colored tortoiseshells, warm and pink snail beads, colorful ammonites, deep blue tanzania, angular crystals, clear and transparent jasper......
Even the reserves of copper ore are not low, but unfortunately the smelting technology is limited, the degree of mining is not high, among the three kings of the mainland, the population of the Fengwang department is the least, the technology is also the most backward, the bronze technology is the lowest, and the strength is the weakest.
The single combat effectiveness is super strong, it is the only advantage, the War King Department and the Li King Department cannot be compared, there are a lot of copper mines, but the smelted bronze is limited, and the abnormal warriors of the Sea Weather Department have no way to popularize.
There are also a large number of sea mussels, which will produce white pearls, which are ground into powder for medicinal purposes, which can enhance the physique, and some mussel shells have lived for an unknown amount of time, and the body is like a grinding plate, and the pearls produced are larger than a fist.
There are also night pearls that shine in the dark, and they can't be extinguished even if they are soaked in water, and they are used by the Ministry of Meteorology to illuminate them, including combustible ice that can be ignited directly without firewood, and phosphorite that can burn underwater.
However, the ice stones that can be burned, the phosphorites that burn underwater, the shining pearls, and the pearls that are as big as goose eggs are all not for sale in the Ministry of Weather, and are only used for internal consumption, or as a tribute to the Wind King.
Burning ice stones are only found further north, where even in the summer season, the weather is cold, phosphorite and night pearls are deep under the sea, which is difficult to mine, and the number of large mussels is limited, and the annual production is not much.
These treasures are never traded, and the trading team has only traded ordinary pearls, or dark night pearls, and night pearls are only fresh, pearls are more popular and can be used in medicine.
As usual, the trading team arrived at the seaside trade area, stopped for four or five days, and carried out more than a dozen transactions one after another, until they arrived at the trading leader of the Maritime Weather Department, an early ability warrior.
The fish skin clothes she carried were all photographed by her, and she also traded a large number of pottery and spices, and other foods, but she didn't ask for much, the types she wanted were more complicated, and the quantity was smaller, that is, to eat fresh.
Before and after the transaction, the leader of the team exchanged a few words with her as usual, and the sea people also behaved more friendly, and the two talked and laughed, and then, the leader took the opportunity to propose the trade of the Wind King Department.
The warriors of the Maritime Waiting Department suddenly became much colder, lukewarm and refused, and the trading team proposed that it would not be a day or two if they wanted to go to the Wind King Tribe, but the answer of the Maritime Waiting Department was always a little ambiguous.
The reason is nothing more than the entanglement of interests, the Maritime Weather Department relies on the traded commodities, and on the side of the Wind King Department, it has taken a lot of benefits, if the trading team is introduced, it will not be so easy to get more benefits.
In previous years, the trading team was also very knowledgeable, and they didn't get involved in the topic for too long, thinking that as long as the transaction continued, the dependence of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs on them would continue to increase over time, and the right to speak would become more and more important.
When the time is ripe, he will propose to go to the Wind King Department, even if it is the Sea Waiting Department, it is not easy to refuse, but the plan is not as good as changing, and the time of the Wood Waiting Department is not much, so he can't wait any longer, so he can only increase his efforts.
From the back basket wrapped in animal skins, the trading leader took out a fishing net and handed it to the warrior of the Maritime Waiting Department, the warrior of the Maritime Waiting Department did not think so, and it was not unusual for them to make fishing nets.
But when she got the net and looked at it carefully, the idea was immediately intrigued, unlike the fishing net they made, this one has a tighter mesh, a stronger texture, and is less prone to damage.
The fishing net material is not ordinary, it is made of sisal fiber, the tensile force is very strong, it is soaked in tung oil, it is friction resistant, corrosion resistant, high defense, and it is used in water, and the shortcomings of flammability no longer exist.
A dark card is set up on the grid, and the prey falls into the net, and if it struggles desperately, not only will it not break it, but it will get tighter and tighter until it strangles itself to death, which makes the soldiers of the Sea Waiting Department even more surprised.
The Ministry of Maritime Weather fishes on the bottom of the sea all year round, and the importance of fishing nets for them is far greater than that of ordinary tribes, such fishing nets can not only be used for hunting, but also for offensive and defensive operations, and the practicality is very high.
The powerful fishing nets have been prepared for a long time, and they are the best hole cards to deal with the Ministry of Maritime Weather, according to the original plan, they should have waited for a few years to be quite familiar with them before they could be put into operation.
At that time, the suspicion can be reduced to the minimum, but time is running out, who would have expected that the War King Department would be in trouble so quickly, and the plan to move overseas could basically come to an end, so I could only hand over hope to the Wind King Department.
"If the Ministry of Maritime Weather can help introduce such a big net, we will be able to take out ten sheets every year in the future and hand them over to the Ministry of Maritime Weather, and the interests of the Ministry of the Wind King can also be divided in half with you. Shang threw out a major temptation.
"Wait a minute. The Waiting Department warrior replied, took the special fishing net, and left the trading area, and walked from the reef into the low wall, the matter was too big to be decided even by the Alien Warrior.
The request was made too suddenly, which would inevitably arouse suspicion, but in order to survive, it was worth the risk, and it didn't take long for them to see several special warriors come out, and their scales grew more densely.
Among them, there is a relatively thin woman with the most scales on her body and the weakest breath, she is just an early ability warrior, but no one dares to underestimate her, it should be the sea witch of the sea weather department, a big witch!
Among the five Hou Divisions of the Wind King Division, the most powerful is the Sea Hou Division, they are almost isolated in the northeast corner by the War King Division, and they have no super strength, so they can't gain a foothold at all, and their strength is naturally the strongest.
In the entire Haihou Department, there are more than 20,000 clansmen, and there are three enemies in water warfare, twenty special warriors, two warriors in the later stage, and one person in Dawu, and even the strongest Heavenly Weather Department of the War King Department is far from comparable.
"Where did you come from such a big net?" Sea Witch grabbed the big net in his hand, stared at the people of the trading team with big eyes, his face was full of urgency, and even faintly flashed with fierce light.
The trading team didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly patted their chests and saluted, and Shang You's prepared extension words replied: "On the other side of the jungle, there is a team of traveling merchants, who come from the Li Wangbu, and often bring some strange treasures. ”
"We often trade with them, and the nets are traded from them. "Li Wangbu is good at craftsmanship, and he is famous for craftsmanship and business, and any black pot can be thrown off their bodies.
"What kind of traveling merchants? Why haven't we heard of them?, why don't they come to the shore?" Hai Wu's watery eyes flashed with obvious suspicion, and he felt that he was not telling the truth.
Shang showed hesitation, and the tail behind his back hung down, this is a sign of their race, fear, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Those humans are afraid of this side and never want to go through the jungle. ”
"How can this be reasonable!" Several warriors from the Maritime Weather Department let out angry screams one after another, which made people's ears buzz, angry and angry, but there was not much doubt, it was normal for humans not to enter the territory of foreign races.
"How many nets do you have?" asked the Sea Witch.
"We trade every year, and their big net is very expensive, and we don't trade much, only more than 200 tickets. Shang said the right number.
"Every ten years, give us a hundred large nets, a hundred fish skin clothes, and the benefits of the trade of the Wind King Department, we want fifty percent, which can introduce you and help you escort. Sea Witch thought for a moment and replied.
"Thank you, Great Witch!" Shang said happily.
"How many have you brought with you now?" the sea witch asked.
"There are ten. Shang replied.
"Leave it to Mi first!" Hai Wu only said a word, and then didn't pay any more attention, turned around and took a few warriors, returned to the low wall, and went to study the big net, leaving only the female warrior, which was what she said Mi.
The team packed up the nets and handed them to her, and she said, "Come back next year! ”
"When can I go?" asked, at the signal of the wood fire.
"Three years from now, three years from now, it's the royal celebration, and you can go with us then. Mi replied.
"Three years later?" didn't need the wood fire to signal again, Shang questioned: "Will it be late?"
"You don't know?" Mi was a little surprised, making the trading team confused, she thought about it, felt that it was not a secret, and then spoke: "Only during the celebration, the royal department sends troops to greet it, can we cross the blood cliff." ”
It turns out that there is only one sheep intestine trail between the coast of the Waiting Department and the glacier of the Yonghou Department, and on the edge of the Mountain Waiting Department, the trail of hundreds of miles, only less than 100 zhang wide, is the passage between the coast and the glacier.
The Mountain Hou Department was ordered by the War King to invade the only remaining mountain road all the year round, trying to completely isolate the Hai Hou Department, and the two sides fought on the road all year round, and the blood flowed like a river, and the road was also dyed red, so it was also called the Blood Cliff.
Only the great sacrifice of the Wind King Department and the large army sent by the King Department to suppress the formation can deter the Mountain Waiting Department and ensure that the team of the Sea Waiting Department can safely pass through the Hundred Miles Blood Cliff, although the sea people can march in the sea, but the goods cannot swim through.
Although they can also make rafts, the outside of the Blood Cliff, the water is extremely fast, and people can pass through, but the loose rafts are not safe, and if they want to transport goods there, they can only pass through the Blood Cliff.
Hearing her words, Mu Huo really had an impulse to tell her how to make a wooden boat, and the raft couldn't pass through, but the wooden boat could!
Sometimes, without absolute power suppression, the more knowledge leaks out, not only does it not arouse awe, but it is easy to lead to death, and it is not wise to put yourself in danger for a few years.
Fortunately, the celebration of the King Department is not unified, and the celebration of the Wind King Department is five years earlier than the War King Department, and after arriving at the Wind King Department, he still has enough time to plan and take refuge in the Wind King Department.
Things have made progress, you must know that you are content, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the trading team has finished the trade, and it has begun to turn back, less than half of the goods are left, the pressure on the war bull is reduced, and the action is much faster.
The return path was another, closer to the side of the Ringu, and there were tribes waiting on the way, and when they left the jungle, the goods they brought with them had been basically replaced, and only the coastal specialties that had been exchanged were left.
