Chapter 460: Cultural Transmission
The leader of the Susha clan warmly received Xu Er.
What, you said I was indifferent just now, that's you read it wrong.
I have always been hospitable.
"Pipe" contains: "At the beginning of late spring, the people of Beihai boiled the sea for salt. ”
"I want to see the salt pans. ”
Xu Er expressed great sincerity, as a businessman, at the beginning from the north of Lishan, followed the friends to the south to learn technology, Xu Er had to admit that the excellent handicraft industry has allowed the south to accumulate trade capital, and the first thing to solve is a large amount of salt.
It will take some time for the development of the Great Salt Mountain, and after deliberation, the three chiefs in the south decided to send Xu Er, who is good at business, to the Susha clan on the eastern coast to buy some sea salt.
At present, the supply of pickles in the mill is in short supply, and a large amount of salt is needed in many aspects, and the salt of the Chifang clan, as well as some of the small rock salt mined outside the mountain before the Great Salt Mountain, is gradually not in demand.
Of course, for this big order that came suddenly, Su Sha was very happy.
Wouldn't it be nice that the backlog of goods in my hand could finally be thrown out?
Xu Er came here and found that the salt works of the Su Sha clan were steaming salt using the ancient method of boiling the sea, and there were wizards breathing fire from their mouths, and there was more than one of them, which made Xu Er very surprised.
Fire witches are rare.
The leader of the Susha clan introduced them to the salt works and a part of the salt piles that had been dried, and Xu'er went to inspect it for a while, these salts are considered very good salt in the south, or the entire inland, but Xu'er is well-informed, and before he came, he had learned from some salt-selling tribes that the salt selling activities of the Shusha clan in recent years have been hit.
However, fortunately, in this era, the economy is relatively closed, and with trade, it naturally brings prosperity and more goods and materials, which can make everyone's life better, and without trade, it will not starve to death, but eat less.
Of course, the standard of living will also limit the development of the regional tribes, and if everyone worries about how to eat enough every day and consumes all the energy, then there is basically no way to develop in other aspects.
Xu Er was very satisfied with this batch of goods, and Su Sha said a price, but Xu Er responded with a smile: "This batch of salt, for the entire Eight Wilderness, is excellent, and in terms of quality, it can be regarded as a good product..."
"However, the price of salt in the country of Yanchang, half a stone costs 500 shells, but people are beautiful salt, good salt and half stone only need 100, and bad salt and half stone are even only 10 shells, and if you barter, half a stone of beautiful salt must be at least three fire corals one person high. ”
"I've heard that the salt of the Susha clan has not sold well in recent years. ”
The hospitable leader of the Susha clan suddenly turned cold.
He immediately understood that this young man was here to lower the price.
But without waiting for him to speak, he continued: "Of course, we can understand your predicament, who hasn't had a difficult time, so don't be excited, I came here, not only not to lower the price, but also, I want to do a big business with you." ”
Xu Er's so-called big business was to sell some mills and workshop products from the south here, especially in order to attract the attention of the great leader of the Susha clan, he quickly came up with a signature product.
"This is given to the Shusha clan to express my heart. ”
It was a fine porcelain, compared to the original porcelain that was fired by chance at the beginning, this porcelain already had some appearance, of course, it was celadon glaze, this celadon glaze is the easiest and oldest porcelain glaze, so it naturally appeared in this era.
Of course, this is ancient green, it can't be blue and white porcelain.... This thing was invented in the Shang Dynasty to color primitive porcelain, the main materials are lime and plant ash.... It's easy to understand and easy to obtain, and chemistry is so magical.
In other words, the grass and wood ash eliminated in the era of slash-and-burn cultivation is here again!
My lord, times have not changed!
The big leader of the Susha clan looked at this vial in surprise, in this period when there was only pottery, the most beautiful craft in the world was the Kongsang clan in the Central Plains, they had a method of firing beautiful pottery, and what the Shusha clan didn't know was that a few years ago, the Kongsang clan had been able to complete the firing process of eggshell pottery, which was all thanks to the blessing of Chonghua.
However, the small porcelain in front of me is much better than the pottery of the Kongsang clan!
"This.... What kind of treasure is this?"
The big leader of the Susha clan was shocked, and Xu Er said: "This is called porcelain, and the firing method is similar to pottery, but I think that the big leader should be most concerned about three points. ”
"Good looking, functional, not leaky. ”
The eyes of the leader of the Susha clan suddenly sparkled, and when he touched the porcelain, endless longing rose in his heart.
This thing, compared to the coral branches in the South China Sea, is a little worse, but this thing is definitely cheaper than coral.
And in fact, it is not far off, and the most important thing is that this porcelain is an advanced product of pottery, as the other party said, the most important thing is that it does not leak and basically does not self-destruct.
Coral, that thing is good-looking, it's useless.
Xu Er said that there are many special good things in the south, which can provide great convenience to the Shusha clan, although the Shusha clan is quite accomplished in steaming and boiling sea salt, but it is very weak in other aspects, which is also understandable, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry....
For example, the Shusha clan is not good at making pottery, their output is very low, and the population belongs to the large tribes on the eastern coast, and the pottery is easy to be damaged and leaking, so it is basically in short supply and economical use.
In ancient times, barter, ancient commerce, is nothing more than this, use what you have, to exchange what you don't have, as for the price, it is naturally negotiable.
Porcelain, plough tools, looms, fish beam frames, grinding discs, woodware, miner's lamps..... If you don't want it, we can also consider the cocoon car, the oil press, these are all good things, by the way, Xu Er also gave the other party a pot of wine, this pot of wine down, the big leader of the Susha clan immediately went up!
Xu Er asked for these supplies in exchange for salt, but he needed more salt, and in general, although it was a little cheap, it could make the tribe live a good life with plenty of food and clothing.
The great leader of the Susha clan suddenly felt that a beautiful new life seemed to be beckoning to him, it had been difficult to cut down on food and clothing in the past two years, but he didn't expect the current tense to run!
Do!
————
A batch of salt on the southeast coast is in full swing to prepare to transport back, the cattle and sheep in the northern Central Plains are also hurrying slowly, and to the west, the Huren Kingdom and the Yu Yan clan have finally experienced thousands of difficulties and dangers, and returned to Shudi, the towering mountains are like a heavenly wall, separating the east and west.....
When they went back, they saw the mountains and thought of the Dujiangyan that the southerners said. In the middle of Shudi, back to the tribal alliance, the people of the Silkworm Cong clan greeted them, and the god of Tsing Yi looked at those picture boards.
He didn't speak for a long time, and finally asked.
Who wants to go north to find the Giant Spirit Clan to open a mountain here?
