Although due to the arrival of the fox tribe yesterday, the leader Rui was a little wary in his heart.

But the people of the Eagle Tribe were not affected.

It still maintains a stable and efficient operation state.

Zhang Duo also found that as long as the food supply was ensured, the clansmen were full of energy.

It is also thanks to the fact that he was not a capitalist in his previous life, otherwise there are too many ways to exploit primitive people in this era.

There are countless ways to use food and resources, to exploit the weaknesses and needs of the people, to monopolize the lifeline, and so on...

Today's mission is still four houses.

However, according to the leader, the progress of the wood-cutting team is a little fast, and the collection task will be completed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

When the time comes, the firewood collectors will also come to help build the house, and the progress will be greatly accelerated.

It is estimated that seven or eight bamboo houses can be completed in one day.

With this calculation, it may be possible to complete the flip of the house a week or two in advance.

It was when Duo and his people were building today's second bamboo house.

Duo found that Lin and Lao She were pushing a 'Youth Concept Edition' cart over.

This trolley has preliminarily reached Zhang Duo's idea.

Under the careful design of Lao She and Lin, the trolley presents a unique and functional (original style) appearance.

It consists of two sturdy wooden wheels and a crossbar attached between the two wheels.

The wheels of the trolley are made by cutting rough logs.

It can be seen that it has been carefully polished, and the wheels are very round.

The bar is made of a sturdy wooden stick. Its presence is capable of connecting two wheels and maintaining balance.

Grooves are left at both ends of the crossbar to securely fasten the wheels to it.

The handle of the trolley is made of an upright wooden stick to ensure that the user can push the vehicle comfortably.

On the whole, although the trolley does not have complicated decorations, it is simple and practical.

Zhang Duo said to Lao She and Lin with some admiration: "Uncle She and Lin have worked hard to make the trolley so quickly. ”

Lao She smiled a little happily: "I know at a glance that this thing is used by the tribe to transport things, and it is used to trade this time, right?" Knowing that you were in a hurry, Lin and I naturally hurried up the progress. ”

Zhang Duo can understand Lao She's happiness, and Lao She's happiness is probably not complacent about manufacturing a wheelbarrow.

It's satisfaction with Lin's apprentice.

However, Zhang Duo didn't break it: "That's also very powerful, I admire Uncle She's craftsmanship!" Of course, Lin's assistance is also indispensable! Then he also patted Lin on the shoulder to show encouragement.

Lin scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I didn't contribute much, I did whatever Uncle She said." ”

She looked at Lin's modest expression, and became more and more satisfied with Lin.

She paused for a moment and said: "However, after we finished the production, we still felt that there was a certain problem with this trolley, and there were some problems with the stability of this car. ”

After Zhang Duo heard Lao She's question, he asked Cang to come over and test the two wheelbarrows together.

He first asked Kura to pull the trolley and run quickly without adding items.

After placing some stones on it, he pushed it for a distance.

It was found that there were some stability issues.

After thinking about it for a while, he gave Lao She some suggestions.

The first problem is stability, which is mainly caused by an unstable center of gravity.

Zhang Duo suggested that Lao She add some weight to the bottom, such as choosing heavier wood with better texture.

Or add stones to the bottom to lower the center of gravity of the trolley.

In addition, Zhang Duo also suggested that Lao She optimize the wheel layout of the trolley.

Make it more symmetrical, ensuring that the wheels are evenly spaced and providing better balance and stability.

As for the second problem, the difficulty of optimizing the control is optimized.

Zhang Duo suggested that she check the wheels of the trolley to make sure that the surface was smooth, and be prepared to ask for some animal fat from the patriarch to act as lubricating oil to reduce friction.

There is also the height of the handle, Zhang Duo suggested that the height of the handle should be adjusted higher.

The handle is still a bit low.

Hearing Zhang Duo ask so many questions, Lin's face showed a little frustration.

Lao She did not express disappointment, but felt more and more that Zhang Duo's proposal was very reasonable.

As a stone carver, Lao She is in line with the attitude of excellence in production.

Lao She patted Lin on the shoulder and said to Zhang Duo: "Duo, your suggestion is very referential, I will adjust the trolley with Lin, if there is no big accident, it will almost be fruitful tomorrow." ”

Zhang Duo still appreciates Lao She's craftsmanship very much.

After sending Lao She and Lin away, Zhang Duo prepared to go with Cang to find the leader and Wu.

Now that the trolley is ready, it's time to think about the preparation of the trading belt.

The group began to discuss in Wu's bamboo house.

Zhang Duo first told Cang and Wu about the origin of the fox tribe yesterday and their not pure intentions.

Wu also agreed with Zhang Duo's opinion, and Cang also didn't think that the relationship between the fox tribe and the eagle tribe was good enough that they would tell the news for free.

The leader Rui motioned to Zhang Duo to say what he thought first, since Zhang Duo started to participate in the meeting, Rui became lazy.

Seeing this, Zhang Duo also bluntly said: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the material exchange meeting and protect the tribal property, we need to do some measures.

First, before going to the trading belt, you should send people to do some collection on the movements of the fox tribe. Find out the strength and intentions of the other side so that you can better formulate measures.

Second, strengthen the vigilance and territorial defense, because there are indeed not many warriors, after this outing, the 20 warriors who need to be left behind will take turns patrolling and stationing at key positions in batches to ensure that they will not be attacked by the fox tribe.

Third, if there is no other situation in the fox tribe in the near future, then we must be wary of being attacked on the road of the trading belt, and we can choose an unconventional route to avoid stepping into the trap.

Fourth, as for the materials we brought out this time, I would like to know the approximate exchange price of the previous trading belt, and determine how much salt and salted fish we will carry this time. Of course, in order to ensure a smooth transaction, you can also consider bringing some other items as an exchange. ”

Wu also nodded when he heard Zhang Duo's analysis.

There is a high probability that the fox tribe will not face the camp of the Eagle tribe.

After all, the strength of the witch can be greatly improved through the bonus of the power of faith in the camp, and there is generally no complete certainty, and the general tribe will not attack the clan territory of another tribe.

Then if it has an idea, it will most likely start with the materials carried by the Eagle Tribe in this transaction.

Cang also mentioned: "It will take some time for the clansmen to build bamboo houses, and during this time, the clansmen will try to behave well under the protection of the hunters." ”

Rui nodded and affirmed the statement of the warehouse, he recalled the price of the previous transaction, and roughly told Zhang Duo.

The exchange of goods in the trade belt is often based on practicality and demand.

Each tribe may negotiate an exchange based on their own needs and scarcity of supplies.

However, the price of meat and prey fur, which is a rigid necessity of hard currency, is relatively fixed.

Under the trading rules of previous winters, one and a half catties of salt from the Xian tribe could be exchanged for five catties of prey meat.

This is due to the fact that salt was scarce in ancient times, and hare meat was a common hunting food.

If you use medium prey skins to exchange salt for salt, you can exchange 2 pieces for one catty.

But the salt of the salty tribe is of poor quality and tastes bitter.

Although the salt content is much higher than that of salt stone. However, the worst table salt cooked with the Eagle Tribe is not of the same grade.

As for the salted fish, it did not appear in the exchange process of the trading belt, but Rui estimated that one salted fish could be exchanged for 3 hare skins.

The price of the clay pot is different every time, and there is no way that this thing is monopolized by the Tao tribe.

The price of the clay pot depended on whether the pottery tribe at that time had sufficient supplies.

After listening to Rui's estimate, Zhang Duo roughly calculated it in his heart.

If the two tribesmen need a total of one catty of meat and some salted fish a day after the winter comes, supplemented by grass roots and other physical objects to cook, then the consumption of meat in the Eagle Tribe in a month is 4,500 catties.

It is equivalent to a month, and the eagle tribe will eat eight wild boars and black bears.

This amount is still in the case of a small number.

Looking at it this way, if you want to ensure that the Eagle Tribe will not die this winter, you must reserve food for at least 2 months.

Then it is close to 9,000 catties of meat reserves.

Even if you don't count the competition of the salty tribes, you don't count the fluctuations in the price of salt.

Two thousand catties of salt are also needed, even if the salt of the Eagle Tribe is of good quality, one catty is equivalent to two catties of salt of the Salty Tribe.

Then this trip alone requires a thousand catties of salt. The fur also requires close to a hundred catties of salt.

At present, the Eagle Tribe has stored nearly 500 catties of salt, and the daily salt production is about 80 catties.

That is, it will take a few days before you can set off, after all, you can still carry some salted fish and other items.

All of them are traded with table salt, and Zhang Duo is also worried about causing a price crash.

Then a week later, it takes a week to go to the trading belt, and it takes a week to stay in the trading belt, just enough to return to the tribe the week before winter.

Zhang Duo felt that there was no problem, so he opened his mouth to ask Wu Herui's opinion.

He was going to let the people who cut the firewood tomorrow finish collecting the firewood.

Together with Lao She, he built a trolley to support the transportation of this transaction.

Wu and the leader and Cang didn't have any opinions.

So the pre-deal matters were finalized.

The party set out a week later, with the leader Rui with Pan and Duo and thirty hunters as escorts.

Cang led twenty people and witches to protect the tribe.

The 50 clansmen in the team were responsible for carrying supplies in trolleys.

Carry 900 catties of salt and 300 catties of salted fish to participate in the transaction.
