Chapter 42 Copper Ore, Workers (Seeking Follow-up)
"Patriarch, bring it here."
The patriarch of the Yanshan tribe stretched out his hand and took the animal skin package from the hand of the henchman next to him.
When I opened the package, there was a lot of jade in it, and in addition to the jade, there were also some stones with a lot of yellow reflective surfaces.
Su Xun saw these stones, although he didn't recognize them, he instinctively felt that these stones might be important.
Thinking of the surprise that the patriarch had seen these stones before, Su Xun decided to ask Ji Ni to replace them.
"Ask them where the stones came from, the yellow ones that reflect the light. That kind of stone patriarch might be interested. Su Xun said in Ji Ni's ear.
"Okay!" Ji Ni nodded, it doesn't matter what you change, since it is what the patriarch may need, he must find out.
"Where did this stone come from?" Ji Ni asked.
"This kind of stone? It's right on the hill of our tribe. ”
When the patriarch of the Yanshan tribe saw that Ji Ni was interested in this stone, he immediately knew that the deal might be about to be consummated.
"Well, I'll change some of them. Since this kind of stone is so common, how about two baskets of stones for one basket of fish? ”
"Two baskets of stones and one basket of fish, you can." When the patriarch of the Yanshan tribe heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. These stones can be picked up casually in the mountains, and there is no pressure at all to exchange them for food.
"I'll have someone send it right away!"
"We don't need many stones, just two baskets." Ji Ni said suddenly.
"Just two baskets?" The patriarch of Yanshan, who was still excited just now, was suddenly stunned. How long is a basket of fish enough for the tribe to eat, not enough for a day, right?
"We still need to rush to the next tribe to trade, we can't change too much, and these stones are too heavy, two baskets at most, no more." Ji Ni told the truth, a basket of stones is much heavier than a basket of fish. If you really have to bring dozens of baskets of stones, this horse can't stand it.
"Is your tribe short of food?" Ji Ni asked. Seeing that they only needed food, Ji Ni could guess that they were short of food. Thinking of the recruitment that the patriarch said, Ji Ni continued, "We come from a big tribe, we are recruiting workers there, we can eat and live, if you want, you can consider it." ”
"Recruitment, food and accommodation?" The patriarch of Yanshan understood the latter sentence, and he heard it very clearly. Only the previous recruits don't know what it means.
"Recruitment is to recruit people to work, as long as they go to work, our tribe will provide food and shelter, and after the work is done, we will also pay for food."
"So good?" The patriarch of the Yanshan tribe couldn't believe it, but thinking that it was a big tribe, there would definitely be no shortage of food, after all, they could still trade food, which meant that there must be a lot of food.
Thinking that it is very difficult for the tribe to survive now, it is better to try, now the tribe has only people except people, and the big tribe can't figure anything else except people.
If you are a person, the patriarch of the Yanshan tribe thinks that if you can join the big tribe, it will be much better than the current tribe struggling because of food.
"Of course!" Ji Ni nodded.
"Can you take us to your tribe then? We would like to try this recruitment. ”
"Yes, if you want, we can take you there, and we can sell all these fish to you, just fill these vine baskets with this stone." Ji Ni readily agreed to them and sold them all the food casually.
That kind of golden stone Ji Ni also thinks it is very special and rare, it should be the same as what Su Xun said, the patriarch may be interested.
Coming to Yanshan, there are many such stones distributed on the ground on the mountain.
"Is that all?" Ji Ni saw that there were many such stones at the bottom of the valley, dotted with sporadic snow on top of the snow.
"These are the ones that used to be washed down by heavy rains, and the most places are on the back of the mountain." As he spoke, the Yanshan Patriarch continued to lead them to that place.
……
Su Yu is supervising the construction, the construction of the city wall has been carried out for several days, and now it is progressing smoothly, and a tenth of the length of the city wall has been built.
The advantage of plain terrain is that you don't have to put too much effort into leveling the ground. Now with pallet carts, it is also convenient to transport earthworks and stones with oxen-drawn pallet carts.
A road was carved out, and when the road was tamped, it was possible for ox carts to travel on it.
Of course, it seems that the progress is fast now, but in fact it is only because the height of the construction is not high.
The higher the walls, the more difficult it is to build.
When there is a height of more than three meters, it is not easy to transport the earthwork, and the difficulty of construction will increase.
"Congratulations to your people Su Xun, Ji Ni and others for discovering the chalcopyrite and gaining 200 civilization points and 10 industrial points. Mining every day earns 1 Industry Points. ”
"Copper Mine!"
Su Yu didn't expect Su Xun and them to find a copper mine, which gave Su Yu a big surprise.
Although copper ore is not as good as iron ore, it is also very useful. For example, it is possible to mint money.
There are not many people in the tribe now, and when there are more people in the future, it will be necessary to privatize. The most important thing in privatization is money, and when money is present, privatization begins.
Su Yu was a little impatient and wanted Su Xun and them to bring the copper ore back quickly, but this was not something he could wait for quickly in a hurry.
……
The next morning, Su Xun and the others came back, and they also came with everyone from the Yanshan tribe.
"Su Xun, who are?" Su Yu saw the people of the Yanshan tribe and asked.
"They're recruited."
"So, you have said yes so soon?" Su Yu was a little surprised.
"I am the patriarch of the Linshui tribe, since you are here to work, I will arrange a place for you to stay." Su Yu saw that they were actually men, women, and children who came, a full eighty people, this is the whole tribe moved, right?
Since it is said that it is a package of food and accommodation, it must be a package of food and accommodation, but the place to live may be a little insufficient, so they can only squeeze it.
There are still a dozen wooden houses left in the tribe, which were originally arranged for four people to live in one building, but now they have eighty people, and squeezing is inevitable.
"Someone has to build a house." Su Yu thought of this question in his heart. Now that a new workforce has joined, it is possible to take over the carpenters' jobs and give them time to build houses.
There may be more workers joining in the future, and it is not enough to live in the house.
"These things copper ore, right?" Su Yu picked up the metallic stones in the rattan baskets on both sides of the horse, and a systematic voice sounded in his head.
"Congratulations on discovering copper ore."
Su Yu asked people to transport these copper ores to the blacksmith shop, and the cycads must know these ores, which can allow them to practice their hands and become familiar with refining copper ore.
"You have made a great contribution, I have recorded it for you, and I will ask the cycads to create an exclusive medal of honor for you later." Su Yu said to Su Xun and Ji Ni.
"Later, you will continue to work hard, recruit more people back, and put aside the transaction in advance."
The recruitment business has made a good start, and Su Yu wants them to recruit more people back.
The tribe is too short of people.
