CHAPTER XXVIII

Someone has to ask, is the iron pot that important?

Yes!

Without an iron pot, the grassland people can only eat roast beef and mutton, without an iron pot, the grassland people can only drink raw water, without an iron pot, milk and goat's milk can not be made into cheese, which is not convenient for preservation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then some people want to be more serious, saying that I like to eat barbecue beef and mutton, the ecological environment on the grassland is good, and it is nothing to drink the raw river water?

This is a misunderstanding, modern people like to eat barbecue, that is because modern people eat barbecue and eat less, you try to eat barbecue every day, to ensure that you are either constipated or diarrhea every day.

It's okay to drink raw water, but there are always times when people get sick, and you don't have a sip of hot soup when you want to? Continue to drink cold water? What about in winter? Do you still drink ice water? Women on the grassland also want to give birth, don't you need hot water?

With an iron pot, the steppe people could stew beef and mutton, boil beef and mutton, and drink hot beef and mutton soup.

However, the grassland people themselves can't make iron pots, and even if they can do it, there are no iron ore raw materials, and simply put, not being able to smelt iron is a common problem of the grassland peoples, whether it is the Xiongnu or Mongolia.

Therefore, the steppe people will go south to plunder.

As long as the living conditions of the steppe orcs are the same as the situation of the nomads in the real world, Ziggy is confident that as long as he can find a buyer in the steppe orcs and sell iron pots to the steppe orcs, it will be a unique profiteering business.

The grassland is full of cattle and sheep, and things are scarce and expensive, so cattle and sheep are not worth anything on the grassland.

However, the steppe orcs do not know how to produce iron pots, and they do not have the raw materials to produce iron pots, so it is absolutely possible to exchange one iron pot for hundreds of sheep, but I don't know how much can actually be exchanged.

This is the importance of scarcity, to sell a glass of water in the desert to a person who has been walking alone in the desert for a week, and a glass sells him for 10,000 yuan, and he buys it all.

In short, selling iron pots to steppe orcs is a promising trade item.

This is the advantage of otaku in the Internet era, usually surfing the Internet at home, I dare not guarantee it in the next five hundred years, but I know that it is absolutely possible to do it in five hundred years, and in this human being in this other world, no one would have thought that the grassland orcs went south to plunder, and a large part of the reason was because of the shortage of materials on the grassland!

The humans of the Holy Odin Empire will only think that those steppe orcs are murderous and raid south because they are savage.

In fact, the steppe orcs came to rob the house, didn't they just grab something?

You know, it's just that the nationalities are different, in the real world, the ancient Han Dynasty and the Huns, from killing each other to sitting down calmly to talk about business, it took more than a hundred years, and the humans and orcs of the Holy Odin Empire are even different races, and the time to kill each other is definitely longer, and the hatred is deeper.

As long as no one does business with the steppe orcs because of hatred, then if Zig can do business with the steppe orcs, it will definitely be the only one!

To put it bluntly, it is a monopoly trade!

And monopoly trade is the most profitable!

......

After the villagers of Grizzly Village returned to the village, Ziggy decided to call a military meeting.

The so-called military meeting is actually to gather all the soldiers of the guard for a meeting, and two days ago, Ziggy had made all of them his guardian knights.

In the real world, Ziggy read a book called The Monarch, which is the masterpiece of the Italian political thinker Niccolò Machiavelli, in which there is a very famous quote: If a person in power wants to gain power, then he must create an image of generosity in front of the world.

This sentence Ziggy was very impressed, and he just happened to travel to the other world, so he used it.

The title of guardian knight is actually very ethereal, just a name, but to show his generosity, it is really suitable for Ziggy, who is now poor and white, and for Zige, it is just to give them an honor.

But for Biden they are different, from now on they are no longer soldiers at the bottom, but a knight, a knight with honor!

The effect of this is very significant, and after Biden and his gang were sealed by Zigger, they were even more excited than when Ziggy treated them with a "blue bottle potion"! Now, these people have truly become their henchmen.

Ziggy couldn't convene the village council, so it was still okay to convene a meeting of his guardian knights, this group of people was now the only armed force in Grizzly Village, and it was barely worthy of the name to hold a meeting called a military council.

So far, Ziggy has no name as the head of Grizzly Village, and if he wants to secure his position as the village head, he still has to lead the villagers of Grizzly Village to make a fortune and become well-off as soon as possible; and in order to lead the villagers to make a fortune and become well-off, he must find a way to take the villagers to earn money; if he wants to make money, he has to find a way to get in touch with the steppe orcs, but what if the steppe orcs first react when they see humans is to kill?

can only be captured alive, after catching them, and then slowly talk about business, a group of can't negotiate a business, kill and destroy the corpses, and change a group of orcs to talk again, if you can't negotiate, then Zig can only think of another way, what to do!

The purpose of convening this military meeting is to find a way to capture an orc alive!

"Master Ziggy, your idea is very innovative. After listening to Zigger's thoughts, the bearded Biden still agrees, after all, so many people eat with so many mouths, and the flour I bought back a few days ago is not as much as thirty pounds, in fact, half of it has been eaten, and if I can successfully connect with the steppe orcs, I can continue to eat white bread.

"How do you capture an orc alive?" At this time, the giant swordsman Rookes asked, when he used to perform tasks in the family guard of the Duke of High Court, Rookes was basically equivalent to the role of the vice-captain, if the soldiers were to be divided into two ways, it was often Biden who led a few people, and Rooks who brought a few people to cooperate with each other, so Rooks often considered practical problems.

"I'm going to do it in the Salmon River! Today I have observed, those orcs don't even have boats, and the wolf cavalry is even more afraid of water, and when crossing the river, eight minotaurs carry driftwood bundled in a row, and the wolf cavalry dare to cross the river only when they stand on the driftwood rows. ”

Ziggy put forward his own suggestions and shared what he observed with Biden and his group, which reflects the importance of reconnaissance, discovering the shortcomings and weaknesses of the other party, and launching an attack when the enemy is most vulnerable, which is the quality that a qualified general should have.

This is the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent to win all battles.

If you rashly launch an attack on those steppe orcs in the village today, although there are those traps, it will either be you or me will die, let alone capture one alive, no matter which side dies, it will be an undying hatred.

One steppe orc died, and next time he would bring more steppe orcs to retaliate, and if Biden's side died one, would he allow Ziggy to put aside his hatred and do business with the other party?

At that time, not only will the business not be successful, but he will also have to prepare to fight with the steppe orcs all the time, and the entire grizzly bear village will suffer, so he will also do the end of the village chief.

"We can do it while they cross the river, but we need boats. "Biden was thorough at one point and immediately put forward a feasible plan.

"Well, I think so too, when they get to the center of the river, we suddenly appear by the river and shoot them with bows and arrows, no matter how strong this group of beasts is, they can't do it in the river!"

What's more, if the other party is still eight people, this is not a half-crossing attack at all, at best, it is a drowning ghost in the river, especially the wolf cavalry, it seems that he can't swim at all.

"What if there are many of them?" said Rooks, the giant swordsman, with a timely question.

After all, if the other party has a large number of people, all of them are captured and waited until they go ashore, and there are only eight people with combat effectiveness on their side, they may not be able to subdue the struggle and resistance of the orcs who are more numerous than themselves, and the strength of the orcs is generally greater than that of humans, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties at that time, and the gains will outweigh the losses;

In other words, because there are many people on the steppe orc side, when some of them are still on the shore, it is not easy to fight, because the orcs on the shore will support the orcs who are trapped in the water.

"Then don't fight yet, wait for the next wave of orcs to come!" Ziggy replied crisply.

As for how to judge whether the steppe orcs have backup, Zig has also thought about it, Zige's idea is not to do it when they enter the village, but to wait for them to rob in the village and have no gains, and launch an attack when they cross the river and go back.

Although this possibility is possible, it is too small, and the steppe orcs are robbing human towns for living supplies, so they should not be so careful and leave people on the shore to support.

If the other party is really so long-minded, but just left some people on the other side of the river, so unlucky, Ziggy will immediately retreat and not fight with the other party, as long as the people are still Qige, it will not be a loss, and there will still be capital to continue playing.

The last thing is to let the bearded Biden find someone to train Dwayne Johnson, such a strong and big man as a Minotaur orc, although it is a good thing to be docile and obedient, it is too wasteful not to be pulled into the battlefield.

Thinking of the explosive power shown by the few steppe minotaur orcs fighting a few days ago, Qi Ge was greedy.

A plan was faintly floating in his mind, but he had to experiment with Dwayne Johnson first.
