After months of good military training, Pigskin and Elm and his people lined up in two neat columns, protecting the birch bark boats behind them with their bare hands.

On the other hand, the group of people on the opposite side gathered together, and the person who took the lead was scolding at Hongmei, holding a round thing in his hand, with a hollow shape on the outside, Gu Guo recognized it as a pottery coin at a glance.

Hongmei saw that Licorice had returned, as if she had seen a savior, and hurriedly pulled up Gu Guo beside her and ran towards the two teams facing each other.

"Goo, show me, this is not our clan's pottery money!"

Hongmei snatched the pottery money from the hand of the person opposite and stuffed it into Gu Guo's hand. The man saw that the pottery money in his hand was taken away, and was about to attack, but he saw the pigskin and his clansmen walking in a neat step, shouting the trumpet of training, and suddenly overwhelmed his people in momentum.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man shouted: "Take a good look at this pottery money, whether it was distributed by you before the last meeting!" ”

Taking the pottery money in Hongmei's hand, Gu Guo recognized it as a fake money at a glance.

Glazed pottery money was now used in inter-tribal trade, and almost all of the unglazed ones that had been distributed earlier had been replaced with glazed ones.

The clay coin in his hand, with smooth edges and much higher roundness than hand-pinched, was obviously made with a potter's wheel.

Gu Guo had only taught the Sang tribe how to make pottery, and it was still a backward method of splicing clay strips, and since they were now integrated into his own settlement, he concluded that there must be someone else who made this fake pottery coin.

In this world, will there be a tribe that is as productive as itself?

"No matter how fast you are, there are those who are faster than you, and no matter how slow you are, there are those who are slower than you."

Recalling the Neolithic civilizations in his previous life that were distributed on different time scales, Gu Guo began to worry.

Seeing that Gu Guo was silent, Hongmei leaned into his ear and whispered: "The four stars of those unglazed pottery coins are pressed out of a tree root, and all the stars are in one shape, but the stars on this pottery coin are different from what we do." ”

Gu Guo nodded, the flaws of this fake coin are not only this, he was in the information age, and he can even identify the beautifully made counterfeit banknotes in his previous life at a glance, not to mention this rough pottery coin.

He played with the clay coin, and his index finger swirled through the hole in the center.

Gu Guo asked, "What's your name, and where did you get this pottery money?" ”

Hearing this, the man straightened his back, as if he didn't know the young man in front of him because he hadn't been to the party last time.

He said loudly: "Hehe, my name is Tang, and I exchanged this money with other tribes with bows and arrows!" ”

Gu Guo stared at Tang's eyes and made the latter unconsciously touch his nose.

The soup is lying.

Because Sang figured out the practice of the bow himself, coupled with Professor Gu Guo's method of firing pottery, and worked for him three times (transporting ore), the materials of the Sang tribe were more surplus than those of other tribes, and the exchange of pottery pots, bows and arrows and other items had already pocketed most of the tribes' pottery money. And these pottery coins, and when the two ethnic groups fused, they were replaced by glazed second-generation pottery coins, and other tribes successively updated the pottery coins, and the earliest batch of pottery coins in circulation has basically been cleared.

Looking at the bark fiber bag on the back of the soup, there was a jingling statement inside to tell Gu Guo that there were more than a dozen or even dozens of pottery coins in it.

The quantity is not right, so what Tang said is all lies.

Gu Guo grinned, put the pottery money in his hand into Tang's backpack, and glanced at it by the way, it contained at least forty pottery coins!

"Haha, Brother Tang, there are not many people in our tribe in this birch bark boat, and the clansmen rely on it to catch fish! Otherwise, how about fifty pottery coins for a birch bark boat? ”

Tao money is Gu Guo's credit banknote, and if someone takes it to exchange, he must exchange it, not to prevaricate it by saying that this is fake money.

If the news of fake money spreads, all the tribes within a radius of hundreds of miles will be terrified, and this will have more serious consequences than inflation.

The strength of the Gu tribe has not yet reached the strength to sweep all directions, unlike the bald eagle, which has the whole world to cover for it, and now the loss of this fake money can only be eaten by itself.

As soon as he heard Gu Guo's offer, Tang was suddenly unhappy, a pottery coin can be exchanged for five clay pots, and the price of a birch bark boat will obviously not be so high.

This teenager is raising the price!

"Too much! Twenty pottery coins, a birch bark boat! ”

"Fifty."

"Thirty! Couldn't have been more! ”

"If you think fifty pieces of pottery is too much, you can go to other tribes to buy them, and you don't have to bargain with me."

Gu Guo put his hands behind his back, his face was full of confidence, this deal was done, it was just a big deal that he lost a birch bark boat on his side, and the loss was obviously much smaller than the inflation caused by the counterfeit coins with the face value of two or three hundred clay pots pouring into the market.

Tang was blocked back by Gu Guo's words, and he knew the face value of these imitation pottery coins.

After learning that a tribe in the upper reaches of the Tao River had utensils that could float on water, the tribe of Tang spent three days carefully carving a batch of sixty fake pottery coins in order to go upstream to empty gloves for the white wolf.

In Tang's expectation, these sixty pottery coins could be exchanged for at least three birch bark boats, but halfway through the killing, a money-making maker Hongmei, and then a young man who raised the price of the boat.

"Fifty is fifty, here you go!"

Tang counted out fifty pottery coins from his backpack, and stacked them on the ground, Gu Guo glanced at the pigskin, who nodded in understanding and asked someone to tow the boat.

After obtaining the birch bark boat, Tang and his people happily carried the hull and returned the same way in the direction of the lower reaches of the Tao River.

Hongmei, who was witnessing the whole process on the side, was anxious, and after Tang and the others walked away, she tugged at the corner of Gu Guo's clothes and said, "Goo, you know that it is fake money, why did you exchange it with them?" ”

"I let the pigskin do the tricks and feet on the boat, and he caught fish in a birch bark boat for most of the winter, and he already knew the structure of the boat."

"I dug a few holes in the place where the bottom of the boat touched the wicker frame, and I couldn't see it at first glance, but if I put it in the water, it will continue to leak, and it will fall apart after a long time."

Pigskin walked over, took Gu Guo's words, and said with a smile.

"Then we still don't have a birch bark boat!" Hongmei said angrily, "That's fake money!" ”

"If we point out that it is fake money, and the people of Tang go back and make a big fuss, saying that they are taking the money to exchange items for our tribe, and we don't allow the exchange, what will be the result?"

Gu Guo didn't plan to say the answer directly, let Hongmei think about the result by herself in order to make her remember.

"Don't let ...... Exchange ......"

Hongmei's eyes lit up, as if a flash of inspiration.

"People from other tribes will come and ask us, why don't we let the exchange? When the time comes...... When the time comes, our pottery money will be ...... Just ......"

"You can't change things anymore."
