Chapter 42: I Want to Be King
To suck the blood of the surrounding tribes through commerce and trade, and to digest the excess production capacity due to the increase in productivity, this is the internal reason why Yan Zheng is eager to expand the trade.
The model he has always wanted to create is trading-demand-productivity improvement, and as long as this model is established, then it will ensure the healthy development of the tribe.
As for capitalism, it is a bit too advanced, and if it is used directly, it will certainly not be compatible with the productive forces.
In addition, he hopes to gather the resources and manpower of this region through trading, and then build his tribe into a more civilized tribe.
Then, through exchanges, the influence will be spread out to achieve the goal of improving the civilization level of the entire region.
The advantage of this is self-evident, that is, it can make your tribe more developed than the surrounding tribes, and you can always supply blood to the tribe through trade and accelerate your own development.
This is the same as the so-called "strong provincial capital" strategy in later generations, first use the resources of the province to build a metropolis, attract talents and capital from all over the world, form a scale, and then share a little from the leftover leftovers to other places.
Yan Zheng, as an angry young man who has been immersed in the political circle for many years, is naturally very clear about this set.
Therefore, he attached great importance to the transaction, and met with the envoys from various tribes in a low voice, and set the place and date of the transaction with them.
And led these envoys to visit the territory of Monabu, so that they knew the advanced of Monabu.
By the way, they were informed of the hierarchical system of tribal relations that was being introduced, as well as more of Mona's foreign program.
When they knew that they could take away a divine bird from Monabu after reaching the level of diplomatic relations with Monabu, these envoys were all dumbfounded.
In order to make a better impression on them, Yan Zheng even gave each of these envoys a gift.
This bribery was quickly rewarded, and when Yan Zheng made a request for a family exchange, a total of eight tribal envoys said that they would definitely get their own leaders to agree to the request for a family exchange.
In this way, those unmarried girl captives in the West Naibu were clearly arranged by Yan Zheng.
"That's it!"
After sending off the last messenger, Yan Zheng couldn't help but applaud.
Under his mediation, he reached almost identical terms with all the tribes willing to trade.
According to his intentions, these tribes would come together every ten days to trade in the agreed place.
This is an important achievement, as it means that there is a good chance that the market will take place.
From now on, the savage world will have the concept of catching a market.
And the more tribes that come together to trade, the more communication will naturally occur.
The leader on the side was not as happy as Yan Zheng, he said with some sorrow: "They all need salt, and our salt is definitely not enough!" ”
Yan Zheng smiled: "I have my own way to do this!" Make sure they all have salt when the time comes. ”
The leader was a little reluctant, and sighed: "It's a pity that they are all poor!" Otherwise, we can get something more. ”
Yan Zheng glanced at the leader with some surprise, and then felt that this should not be hoping that other tribes would become rich.
The leader simply felt that if the other tribes were rich, their own tribe could exchange for more good things.
However, to have this kind of awareness shows that he really sees the benefits of trading.
Yan Zheng smiled: "They are very poor! But as long as they can find what we want, they can make a profit by collecting it for us! In the end, I believe that the surrounding tribes will be able to survive around the needs of our tribe! ”
"Around the needs of our tribe?"
"Yes, I thought it would be not cost-effective to go out hunting every day, and we would just hunt every few months in the future. The rest of the time was spent farming and production, while the soldiers trained for battle. The meat and skins we need can be obtained through trade. ”
"In this way, the things we produce will have a place to go, and the excess animal meat and skins of other tribes will not have to be left to wait for him to become stinky and rotten!"
The leader wrinkled his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said, "If we don't hunt and patrol the hunting grounds often, then other tribes will enter our hunting grounds, and the prey of our hunting grounds will also run into the hunting grounds of other tribes. ”
Yan Zheng smiled helplessly, and led the leader to the original reed field.
At this time, several women of the tribe are taking care of the rice in the paddy field, and they use a bamboo pole to constantly beat the rice so that the rice can be pollinated better during the flowering stage.
Yan Zheng pointed to this paddy field and said, "Look, the rice here has begun to bloom, have you ever seen such a good rice?" I promise that one square of rice is enough for a clan to eat for several months. ”
"If you look at these beans again, they have all grown pods, and this year we will definitely be able to harvest beans that the tribe can't hold!"
"Chief, hunting is a waste of manpower. The strength of the clansmen should be more focused on production and construction! ”
"Now we can trade with many tribes, and the prey they have hunted will be exchanged for the salt, leather and pottery we produce.
The efforts of our people have not changed, but they have been rewarded to us in another way! And this way is more secure than hunting. ”
The leader pinched a piece of rice seedling and looked at it, the solemn expression on his face soothed, and he asked, "Can a square field really harvest enough grain for one person to eat for several months?" ”
Yan Zheng nodded and said, "If you add a little beast meat and oil and water, I believe it will be enough for them to eat for half a year!" ”
The leader nodded in satisfaction, he stood up and said, "If we harvest enough food this year, we will plant rice here next year!" But we can't stop hunting, we should send a team to patrol the hunting grounds every ten days! ”
Yan Zheng did not open his mouth to object, he will definitely launch a hunt from time to time in the future, and this kind of hunt will also have the nature of a drill armor.
And the leader's reaction today shows that he is not very resistant to giving up hunting.
Perhaps he didn't realize that hunting would have any major connection with headhunting.
However, Yan Zheng knew that when a tribe started farming, most people would be fixed by the fields.
At that time, private ownership and polarization will naturally occur, and when Yan Zheng only needs to divide the land, the original tribal ownership system will collapse immediately.
At that point, trading will become more and more important. The tribal division of labor will also be further refined, and the productive forces will be greatly liberated.
Yan Zhengmei was looking forward to it, and the little fire of ambition in her heart was slowly expanding.
He wants to be the king of this world! And not a day to live comfortably tribal chieftains!
