"They want too much fabric." Niu Tong tried to find the logic that seemed to suit his own consideration: "Panshi Village does not produce cloth. When Fusong was the leader, I heard about that place. It was poor and miserable. After a few years, people in the village could not even afford to wear clothes."

"Is this the reason why Panshi Village can't save money?" Wu Yuan chuckled softly, and his handsome face became more and more attractive because of this kind expression: "I don't think so. A Tong, don't you think that the little leader of Panshi Village has asked for too much?"

Without waiting for Niu Tong to answer, Wu Yuan continued: "In the summer, they exchanged a lot of cotton cloth from the deer tribe. Jin Sheng went to Zuosuo Village to do business every year, but this year he was unable to bring back even a piece of cloth. The people from Zuosuo Village said that their fabrics were all exchanged for Panshi Village, and no metal currency was used, and the goods exchanged were dried fish."

Niu Tong changed the direction of the half-eat apple in his hand, and threw it flexibly in his hand, asking in a difficult time: "I know this matter, at that time, the Lu people did not have enough food to eat, and the people in Panshi Village exchanged the cloth in their hands. What's the problem?"

The smile gradually faded on Wu Yuan's face, and deep thoughts emerged from the depths of his skin and his muscles. His speech became slow, as if every word he said from his mouth needed careful consideration: "The deer people sold cotton cloth too cheaply, and Fuquan, the leader of Zuosuo Village, regretted it very much... very regretted it."

"I think this is no big deal." Niu Tong curled his lips, a little disdainful: "The man speaks, spits and nails. Since the price was negotiated at that time and the two parties completed a deal, what's the use of regretting it now? To be honest, I just look down on the guys of the deer clan. If you can't fight, you will stay at home to spin and weave cloth."

"This is not the point of the problem." Wu Yuan's eyes flashed with a shrewd look: "Ahao... This young leader is a smart man. He is good at doing business and knows how to seize opportunities. Don't you understand? He exchanged a large amount of cloth from the deer people at an extremely low price. There is only a little place in Panshi Village. How many people can there be? Don't say that each person has one cotton cloth, even more is enough."

"Jin Sheng started doing business with Panshizhai this summer. From the initial coarse salt to the later cured venison and dried apples, Panshizhai sold many goods, and it was endless. But the little leader's request was very simple, and in addition to the fabric, it was also fabric. You can calculate the A Tong yourself, and add the number of transactions before and after, how much fabric has Panshizhai stocked up now?"

Niu Tong felt that he was awakened. He raised his hand and patted his forehead, and asked in surprise and enlightenment: "Housing? Are you saying that he did it on purpose?"

"Clothes made of cotton cloth must be more comfortable than animal skins when worn. The weather is not determined, and this winter may be colder than last year. Apart from firewood and peat, the best goods sold in this season are cotton cloth." Wu Yuan snorted from his nostrils with a strong sarcastic meaning: "The young leader of Panshi Village is very smart. Don't forget that we won the archery competition between us and the Blood Eagle Team by his idea."

Niu Tong was a little nervous about Wu Yuan’s words: “Ayuan, according to what you said, will he... see through our plan?”

"Impossible!" Wu Yuan denied: "When His Highness the Lion King invited us, it took me more than a week to figure out the front and back joints and think thoroughly. It was because His Highness the Lion King gave me various hints. How much knowledge can a leader of a small village have? Stop kidding, this is impossible!"

Niu Tong was a little unhappy when Wu Yuan said this. He frowned slightly: "Since that's the case, do you still think Ahao has a problem? Isn't this just guessing randomly!"

Wu Yuan's face was tight, and he stood up and paced back and forth in the room: "What you said makes sense, maybe I'm really thinking too much."

Niu Tong stuffed his little finger into his mouth, picked his teeth with his long fingernails, and said vaguely: "Can you not keep staring at Panshi Village? It is a small village, with only a few hundred people in full swing. Moreover, Panshi Village is the direct territory of the patriarch Niu Weibang. Even if there is a bumper harvest every year, it has nothing to do with me. I am the lord of Chiti City, and dozens of villages around him must obey my orders. Ayuan, I advise you to take back your mind and solve the problems in our territory first and then talk about other things. The ancients said it well: It is not necessary to be ambitious."

The expression of suspicion turned into hesitation, and the coldness deep in his eyes gradually became hesitant.

Wu Yuan nodded slowly and expressed his agreement in silence.

...

Sitting in the brand new house of Panshi Village, Haoping, the head manager of Qinglong Village, felt that everything in front of him was full of novelty.

The spacious brick and stone buildings are very spacious. The fire pit is dug in the center of the house as usual. The ground is covered with smooth wood boards. The firewood is burning very vigorously, and it is very warm and comfortable.

Haoping knew that Fusong was dead, and now Panshi Village has changed a new leader named "Tianhao", who is said to be very young.

Although it was only a year before, Panshi Village was not the same as before. Haoping remembered clearly that when he came last time, he had a barbecue in Fusong's wooden house. The two of them discussed the business of using venison to exchange population. At that time, Panshi Village was no different from other villages. A circle of thick logs surrounded the village walls, and there was a watchtower at each gate of the front and back villages.

Now, the scale of Panshi Village has expanded several times more than in the past. The newly built brick and stone buildings block the walls of the wooden village, like blocks of building blocks, forming a new pattern between heights and heights. If you look down from the air, you will find that the old village is the core, connected by a huge "cross"-shaped street, surrounded by dozens of narrow alleys, forming a small-scale city.

Haoping counted and found that there were twenty-two high towers inside and outside Panshi Village. This kind of building was very conspicuous, which was in sharp contrast to the low bungalows standing around. Although the person in charge of leading the way repeatedly claimed that "that was a chimney for burning firewood and heating in winter", Haoping was half-believing and half-doubted.

The superb forging technology allows all villages of the Niu tribe to build excellent weapons, and all villages have hunters. There are more wild beasts to hunt, and the perspectives of things are naturally different. Haoping is very clear about the importance of occupying the commanding heights to archers. Even if these strange towers in Panshi Village are really the so-called "chimneys", as long as a few people stand on it, the condescending deterrence is self-evident.
