Chapter 52: The Catfish Effect

With the speech and support of the wizard Morimi, Yu went to disassemble the sacred book into pages and let Yu Lian study and compare.

The little green book icon in the [Gift] slot disappeared without a trace.

Lu Yao's experiment has a result: for things that cannot be understood, the pixel villain cannot directly grasp through the temple. They can only understand the gift on the basis of what they already know.

Soon, a prompt appeared on the screen.

[Yulian invented paper. 】

[The garlic tribe learned to make and use paper, and their faith was raised.] 】

[The garlic tribe learned to make and use books, and everyone's intelligence has improved slightly.] 】

Inventing and using paper and books, the garlic tribe brought 400 points of faith to Lu Yao.

Shortly after the paper appeared, the leader Yu went and passed away.

This young man who once said that "gods love slippery fish", a hero who almost died in battle in blind confidence, and a villain who took on the responsibility of leadership when he grew old, ended his life.

The monument reads.

"Fisherman: One of the Horde's first two heroes, he fought bravely against demon cultists and fought to defend the tribe against cavemen. He was a strong advocate of building boats, spreading the footprints of the Garlic tribe all over the water, fusing the East River tribe and cavemen, and helping Yulian to make paper, and we will always miss him."

The soul of Yugo is picked up by Scott and comes to Saniro in the south to start a new journey in life.

The era of the first generation of leaders and heroes of the garlic tribe has come to an end.

After Yugo's death, the caveman Morimi took his place. Yuren was also recommended by Morimi and became the youngest leader in the history of the tribe.

The leadership of the second generation of the garlic tribe was formed.

The caveman Morimi is the decision-maker of major events for the tribe.

Shahan, the astrologer, spends most of his time in the temple, serving as an attendant to the gods and compiling the tribe's writings and books.

The Fishing Company was a powerful force among the leaders, and he began to propose a series of reforms to promote the tribe.

He said, "Our galleys have been to Saniro, which is also the place of worship of Lord Yaoshen. ”

"The Apostle said that Saniro is a city of ghosts, inhabited by many ghosts that we cannot see. Many of the people who died in the tribe would be taken there. ”

"I've been to Saniro by boat. It was an amazing city, with clean streets and houses, roads that were not afraid of rain and mud, straight and flat streets, and tall and strong walls. ”

"The garlic tribe is going to build a city like this."

"Cities will make our lives more comfortable, less likely to get sick, and more united in our faith and faith."

This suggestion was rejected by Morimi on the grounds that the tribe was currently understaffed to support such a time-consuming project.

It is commonly known as taking too big a step and pulling the egg.

However, Morimi agreed with some of Yuren's views.

The shaman believed that building roads was a top priority for the tribe. The road between the salt pond settlement and the base camp of the garlic tribe must be opened so that goods from the two places can flow quickly.

With roads, the two places can also support each other if they encounter a dangerous situation.

But it was harder than they thought to build roads.

Just carving a path out of the mountains consumes all the troglodytes' labor.

The cavemen dig up rocks day and night. They were experienced in burrowing, but even so, they encountered several landslides and several torrential rains, killing several cavemen.

Lu Yao also took a hand and used the [scorching sun] to disperse the heavy rain, which allowed the mountain road project to continue.

After the opening of the roads between the two places, the speed of the circulation of goods has increased significantly, and more and more camels are transporting goods back and forth.

The merchants immediately came alive. Aiming at the profit margin between the two places, they began to frequently resell feathers, salt and garlic from the two places, and obtained many profits.

Problems followed.

Transporting goods requires camels to carry them, or to carry them on their backs. In the trade between the two places, bartering was inefficient and costly, and merchants were always distressed.

It didn't take long for Lu Yao to see a prompt pop up on the screen.

[Shang Li invented the currency "sea shell". 】

[The garlic tribe learned to make and use money, faith was raised, and the intelligence of all people was slightly improved. 】

- Great god, there is a believer who has performed feats far beyond his peers, do you need to transform him into a hero?

[Yes] [No]

Lu Yao opened the temple.

In the hall stood the merchant.

He is only 18 years old, which is even younger than today's Yulian.

Lu Yao transforms it into a hero.

In the detailed personal panel, Shang Li is a young man with delicate hair.

He wore linen trousers and sheepskin boots underneath his feet. Shang Li led a camel along the path, carrying goods wrapped in cloth on its back.

Under the image is his personal motto.

β€”β€”I hope that everything is a commodity, the price is clearly marked, and it belongs to me after paying, and I don't have to worry about losing.

……

[Hero Lv1] Shang Li

Attack 0 Defense 0 Knowledge 2 Mana 1 Luck 2 Morale 0

【Ability】

Wisdom Lv1: Wisdom is the key to the apostles' listening to the will of the gods. The higher the level of wisdom, the easier it is to improve and comprehend various abilities.

Trade Lv1: Good at trade, have better business ability, and have a certain probability of making commercial inventions.

……

The emergence of Shangli was a surprise.

Lu Yao originally thought that the progress of the tribal civilization system might only happen if iron tools or engineering were made.

I didn't expect the merchants to stand up.

They are desperate to get more profit from their trades. The demand for profit has made them the most enthusiastic group for change, and Shangli is a microcosm of the power of merchants to promote tribal civilization.

The seashells invented by Shang Li quickly became popular among the tribe with the permission of the sorcerer Morimi and others.

Money has made transactions more efficient and clear, and bartering has become a thing of the past.

The people of the tribe even learned to set up stalls and sell them.

However, there are some drawbacks as a result.

"Lamb, 40 shells a piece."

"Mutton, 39 shellfish a piece."

Two villains selling mutton start a price war.

"Why do you have to be lower than me?"

"Stupid, of course you can buy it because of this, and you can also sell it at a low price."

"Mutton, 38 shells a piece!"

"Lamb, 35 shells a piece!"

The two villains argued and almost fought. In the end, it was the Yulian who came forward to negotiate and settled the dispute.

In addition to this, currency trading also raises the classic problem of shortages.

"You sell less meat than everyone else!"

"Nonsense, it's the same."

"Just less!"

"If you don't want to buy it, forget it."

"Give me back the seashells! I'll go buy it somewhere else! ”

"I've bought everything, you give me the broken meat again, how can I ask for it."

"Damn! You guy! ”

"That's how the deal works, you can see it clearly."

Lu Yao also shook his head.

He kind of wanted to come and slash the tribal profiteer to death with a [lightning]. It is really hateful that the fruits of the hard work of the working people have been deceived into their pockets in this way.

But even if you kill this profiteer, it will be useless.

One profiteer fell, and thousands more.

Lu Yao was curious, and he didn't know if the garlic tribe had a way to deal with it.

Soon, the tribe came up with a countermeasure.

[Yulian invented the weight measurement unit: catty/tael. 】

[The garlic tribe unified weight weights and measures.] 】

[The Garlic Tribe has learned to formulate and use units of measurement, and everyone's intelligence has improved slightly.] 】

Lu Yaoxin said that this is right.

The merchants turned into catfish fighting for food, stirring up this quiet waterhole and bringing pressure and challenges to the tribal leaders.

The gears of the new era are slowly turning under the impetus of countless people.
