Yan Zheng was originally ready to sit in the rear and strategize, but to his surprise, Lan Ya went out with a wooden spear for only a quarter of an hour, so he ran back and told him: "The people of the Ana tribe are here, and the leader will let you go!" ”

"Why did you let me go?"

"They're not out of the grass!"

Yan Zheng was surprised, and saw that Lan Ya didn't seem to be lying to him, so he walked towards the gate of the tribe under the escort of two young people.

"Why don't you fight?"

"They give gifts!" Lan Ya said with a smile.

"Gift-giving?" Yan Zheng was even more puzzled, last time he went to the cave to get nitrate, and he also gave gifts to others.

But it was the tribe that occupied the main transportation route, so they had to pay tolls.

"Really?" Yan Zheng raised his head violently, his eyes lit up, and his steps were a little faster unconsciously.

When he came to the front of the walled gate, the two groups of people were still facing each other, and both sides were very aggressive.

There was a hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear the other party apart.

But between them, there were some hides and grain.

When Yan Zheng walked in front of the leader, he found that the leader was very angry, he held a stone spear in both hands and glared at the other side through gritted teeth.

"Zheng, they want salt!" The chief said.

"They know we have salt?"

"Well, you let it go!"

Yan Zheng took a closer look at the opposite side and found that there was really the boy he let go that day.

The young man looked at Yan Zheng with a smile and waved the wooden spear in his hand.

"And these things?" Yan Zheng pointed to the pile of things in front of him.

"Gift, for you!" The leader said angrily: "They said they could not fight, but they gave gifts, and we have to give them salt!" ”

"And say, that's what you mean." Wu answered.

"I came to you, just to let you tell them that we won't give a grain of salt, courtesy, they will bring it back!" The leader said through gritted teeth.

"But that's what I said." Yan Zheng smiled bitterly.

The leader waved his hand and said, "Salt, you can't give it to them!" We, not enough! ”

Yan Zheng said with a smile: "Salt, we can produce it every day, so many things, in exchange for a glass of salt, we get more." ”

Wu looked at the other side and sighed, "Can't give it, they are forcing us to give them salt!" As you have said, they must not persecute but come and pray! ”

"We have mercy on them, so we give them salt! With people like this, with weapons, we can't give. The chief also said.

Yan Zheng held his forehead, almost stunned by these brain circuits, the ghost knows what these people think.

Obviously, this exchange can not only greatly alleviate the food shortage of the tribe, but also alleviate the hatred between the two tribes, so why not?

"No, it's not persecution!" Yan Zheng tried to explain: "This is the deal! ”

"Trade, exchange! Trade their stuff for ours! All we need is some salt and we can get food that we can hunt for days! ”

"Even if they are persecuted today, I will exchange with them! Because, the young people of our tribe have gone out to hunt a lot, and now we are fighting, and we are at a loss! ”

The leader said resolutely: "But, salt! It is a fetish, and they do not deserve to be enjoyed and possessed! ”

"That's what I made, too!" Yan Zheng said a little angrily: "You have also seen that a cup of salt is only enough for a dozen clansmen to eat a delicious meal, but such a large pile of animal skin food can make the entire tribe eat for several days!" ”

"If the God-given thing is to make the people hungry to satisfy the enjoyment of the few, then it is not a divine thing. Moreover, now that you can get a big advantage by exchanging, you may start a fight without exchanging. If we are not young, many more people will die, and they may even rob us of salt, animal skins, and nitrate! ”

"And they know that we have salt, and more tribes will know about it in the future, and if we occupy it alone, they will come and grab it together! So for the sake of the tribe, we must choose the great good, and not let the tribe fall into a bad situation because of a little salt. ”

The leader was silent for a moment, and Wu also pondered these words.

The meaning of Yan Zheng's words is to let these two take the interests of the tribe as the leader, so that the two interests are the heavier, and the two evils are the lesser.

"You, go over and tell them, send someone to come and get salt!" Yan Zheng didn't wait for the leader and Wu to finish tangling, and then gave an order to a clansman on the side.

The clansman glanced at the leader and the witch, and without receiving a reprimand from them, he put down the stone axe in his hand and walked slowly towards the opposite side.

After a while, the man came over with a man from the opposite tribe, who was the same boy who had let him go that day.

"Thank you!" When the young man saw Yan Zheng, he saluted.

Yan Zheng smiled, and there was a burst of joy in his heart. The boy's return was definitely the best chess move he had ever played.

With this contact, the surrounding tribes will definitely come to contact after they know about it.

At that time, he can set the rules, just like rushing to the market, one episode every ten days.

And their tribe can also slowly determine their honest image through trading, which has endless benefits for future development.

"Follow me!" Yan Zheng patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Our tribe has a lot of good things!" ”

The young man followed Yan Zheng with a smile and introduced, "My name is Xilu. ”

"My name is Yan Zheng!"

Yan Zheng enthusiastically led the young man to the tribe, and after taking a cup of salt, he picked up a piece of processed animal skin and gave him a bag of herbs.

Shiru pinched a little salt and tasted it, nodding in satisfaction.

"This hide, good! Three hides for one. ”

"Herbs, two pieces of animal skins for a pack, can cure diseases!"

"There are no animal skins, drops of grain, drops of people, strange drops of treasures, special stones and plants, can be exchanged."

Yan Zheng tirelessly promoted it, and also took Xilu to visit the tribe, but everything he could see was marked one by one.

By the time they returned to the gate of the tribe village, the two clansmen who followed behind them were already carrying the contents of a large clay pot.

The leader's face was unhappy, but he had already figured it out at the moment, and felt that he should at least avoid the battle.

And it is naturally better to let Yan Zheng come forward than him directly, at least it is easier for the clansmen to accept.

With a satisfied face, Shiru returned to his tribe's team with animal skins, herbs, and large pottery, and after communicating with the people of their tribe, the other side first carefully looked at the treated animal skins.

Then they burst out with a strong interest in the big clay pot.

After a while, Xilu walked up to Yan Zheng again and said, "We agreed, we want ten of your animal skins, ten of the big pottery, and the herbs after they have been used." Salt, too little, our gift, is for two cups. ”

Yan Zheng smiled slightly: "It's easy to say!" Five days later, you send people here, and we will give you the things. ”

"Good! I oversee you, and you swear in the name of the ancestral spirits. "Hirudo.

Yan Zheng didn't say a word, and swore directly: "I swear in the name of the ancestral spirit that I will definitely give you things when the time comes." ”

"Okay, you also send someone to oversee us taking the oath."

Yan Zheng waved his hand, and one of the clansmen followed Xilu to the opposite side.

After the clansmen came back and announced that the other side had sworn an oath, Yan Zheng couldn't wait to look up to the sky and smile.

Damn, it's still trade that makes money quickly! Within a few years, the surrounding tribes would have to be sucked by him.

The leader sighed a little unhappily and looked at the opposite team retreating, and there was a burst of relief in their eyes.
