After using herbs to cure diseases and take a bath to clean, Yan Zheng's status in this tribe instantly increased.

The leader had specially assigned him a thatched hut, which was next to the old man's thatched hut, and the leader lived on the other side.

It can be seen that this distribution of residence must have a status symbolic meaning. And the chief also arranged for a young girl to be his maid.

This made Yan Zheng very emotional, the primitive society was actually a unit with a living secretary!

He accepted this arrangement with satisfaction, and when he came to this world, he must first want to live comfortably for himself, and then to do a career.

And these two things are not in conflict, in order to live a better life, he must make these wild people civilized. And when the level of civilization is high, he will naturally live a happier life.

It's just a pity that this tribe has not yet entered the real agricultural era, and the productivity is even lower to the point of being outrageously.

In order to increase productivity, it is also necessary to have a strong agricultural guarantee, and it is impossible to achieve the agricultural stage overnight, at least it will take two or three years to reclaim the famine.

Lying in the thatched hut, Yan Zheng habitually thought about the present, he had studied Ma Zhe, and the worldview and methodology in it made him understand.

In order to achieve the set goal, it is necessary to analyze the objective conditions of all aspects, as long as the direction is right at the beginning, the rest is only a matter of implementation.

Therefore, in the face of this primitive tribe, he takes it for granted that the primary contradiction at present is the contradiction between the insufficient and unstable food sources of the tribe and the desire of the tribal savages to eat stably and well.

This contradiction is easy to solve, but it is also difficult to solve.

The good solution is that Yan Zheng has drunk porridge, which means that this tribe already knows some farming.

The problem is that the minerals and species in this area are not clear, and if there is a lack of tamable livestock and the necessary metal ores, it will be even more difficult for agriculture to improve.

And the language barrier is also a big problem, don't have any ideas, it will change the taste when it is passed around.

In the future, if you want to rule over a larger population, you will naturally not be able to rely on body language.

Yan Zheng shook his legs while analyzing the current situation in his mind.

But he didn't think long before his thoughts were drawn to the savage girl in the house.

This savage girl has an even and slender figure, and under the background of wild beauty, it shows a little softness.

Especially she has a goose egg face, big eyes and a delicate nose, which looks particularly girlish.

And the most important thing is that the women of this tribe, probably to save fabric, so they all wear very little. It's all a piece of cloth wrapped around the chest, and one side of the cloth covers the shame.

"I didn't expect that there are savages who look so smart!" Yan Zheng sighed, although it was a little darker, but in this dim environment, it was actually the same.

It's a pity that he didn't react at the moment......

There was really no response, and after careful examination, he found that his body seemed to be back to its pre-development state.

Could it be the sequelae of the crossing? He panicked in his heart, feeling that if he was deprived of this hobby, the meaning of crossing would be 99.9 percent.

"You!" Yan Zheng shouted at the girl.

When she heard this, she immediately put down the work of handling animal skins and came to Yan Zheng respectfully.

Yan Zheng looked at it carefully, and a bad taste suddenly welled up in his heart.

He pointed to himself and said, "I, you have to call my father from now on, father...... My lord! ”

The girl listened suspiciously, looked at Yan Zheng's gesture, smiled with relief after a while, and imitated: "Father...... Kiss! My lord! ”

"Yes, Father!" Yan Zhengle blossomed.

The girl smiled happily, and also pointed to herself and said, "Lan Ya, Lan Ya!" ”

She nodded as she spoke, and Yan Zheng couldn't help muttering, "Bluetooth? ”

"Well, Lan Ya!"

Yan Zheng laughed: "Lan Ya! ”

"Father!"

"Lan Ya!"

"Father!"

……

Yan Zhengxiao's thief is lewd, and the savages can't understand how evil this title is.

Not only did he sigh that many things that had not been realized in his previous life had been realized so easily in this day's time.

He now has a house and a maid, and some people call him Daddy!

In the spirit of being a good teacher, he taught Lan Ya a few tricks of pressing his hands and feet.

Under the title of this father and the service of his feet, he fell asleep.

…………

…………

The next day, Yan Zheng woke up refreshed.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lan Ya sleeping in the corner of the wall, she could only sleep on thatch, and the early morning chill made her lie on her side in a curled position.

It seems that there is a lack of cloth, which is common among this tribe. But it stands to reason that this kind of hunting tribe must have accumulated animal skins.

With this question, Yan Zheng carefully inspected the animal skin he had covered.

He understood by a simple touch that there was something wrong with the handling of the hide, which was too hard, untanned, and not embalmed.

Looking at the animal skins that Lan Ya handled last night, Yan Zheng found that the way this tribe handled animal skins was extremely primitive, although they were savages, they handled the skins like cavemen.

They handle hides by scraping off a layer of oil and then drying them out in the shade, which is the oldest practice.

It is clear that this tribe already has a little shadow of farming, and has also formed a certain social relationship.

It stands to reason that it is not impossible to even deal with animal skins, with these puzzles, Yan Zheng is ready to brush his teeth and wash his face.

But when he saw the simple thatched house, he could only choose to wash his face with water and rinse his mouth simply with plant ash.

At this time, Lan Ya also woke up, and when she saw that Yan Zheng had already gotten up, she performed tribal etiquette with an apologetic face, and ran out of the thatched house.

When she returned, she had an extra clay pot in her hand and an extra clay pot on top of her head.

Yan Zheng looked at the food in these two clay pots, and his appetite was still very good.

Two clay pots, one for broth and one for porridge water.

He picked up a piece of meat first, and after taking a big bite, the juice burst in his mouth, and instantly a fishy smell filled his mouth.

Vomit - Yan Zheng spit out, and his face changed.

What kind of meat is this?

He quickly rinsed his mouth, got closer and sniffed the broth, only to smell the fishy smell permeating.

Recalling the refreshing food yesterday, Yan Zheng felt that this must be a change of cook!

He took a sip of porridge, barely the taste of food.

But when he looked at the porridge and water, and then at the broth, he instantly understood that there was no salt in this broth!

"That's right!" Yan Zheng patted his head, like a quick knife cutting through the mess, and Fang Cai's doubts were answered.

All of this explains why this tribe did not handle the hides well, apparently because of the lack of salt.

Hides need to be kneaded with coarse salt to become soft and durable, because coarse salt contains nitrate

And the lack of salt should be normal in the savage world, even in the 21st century, there are inland tribes in Africa who do not eat salt.

It's not that they don't want to eat it, it's just that they don't have it.

The lack of salt meant that some animal meat had to be eaten to replenish the salt.

So it all makes sense, the tribe lacks the necessary motivation to convert to a pure farming tribe.

For them, animal meat is definitely needed, and no amount of other food can replace animal meat.

This relationship of demand makes this tribe stubbornly walk on the road of hunting, planting a little something, purely to get some extra food.

Without other external pressures, the tribe would most likely remain like this for a long time.

Just like the indigenous tribes of Southeast Asia in those days, it was not until the arrival of Western colonizers that their living habits changed.

And there have been so many tribes in history, it must be that the tribes close to the production areas of salt and copper have developed faster.

Yao Shunyu once built a city in the salt pond in Hedong, and this salt pond is in Yuncheng, Shanxi, which is an eternal influencing factor.

Yan Zheng felt that he had discovered the internal bottleneck of this tribe, and he hurried to the leader's house.

After gesturing with the clay pot for a while, the leader willingly brought him three more clay pots of meat.

Yan Zheng is very helpless, he is not a rice bucket.

After another gesture, the leader shook his head, as if he really couldn't figure out what Yan Zheng was expressing.

Yan Zhengjian's reaction was relieved.

It seems that as he analyzed, this tribe is really saltless!

And probably haven't seen salt before! It's no joke.

Why do civilizations consume salt? The reason is that it has an irreplaceable role, so the tribes that eat salt eliminate or assimilate other tribes.

It wasn't that at the beginning, there were savages who knew that eating salt had these benefits.

But when they begin to eat salt steadily, they will inevitably move towards farming faster, and one step ahead can cause a big gap.

But the question also arises, this tribe has never seen salt, where to get salt?
