chapter 1030. son of the storm 6
(build)
Young Ya'an has a simple mind. After all, Yafei and others have always been very protective of their children. Even though they have suffered enough outside, they rarely tell them about their troubles and difficulties.
Moreover, according to Lou Ning's observation, the Jacob tribe has a certain degree of awareness of prevention. Although people from outside will still be let in, they will also go through strict screening. Even if they are suspected of eating tofu, they are worse than the nobles who are willing to kill people.
It is absolutely impossible for the master to appear in front of the young man.
It’s no wonder that even though he heard a lot of things outside, he still couldn’t understand the gap between reality and imagination. At most, he could only do more fishing, hunting, and cooking for the family, and the rest of the time he could just focus on going out.
Thoughts.
"I'm not that stupid, am I!" Ya'an, a young man, was a little unconvinced by Master Lou Ning's words. "Even if my mother and others don't want us to have contact with people outside, it's not like I haven't secretly gone out to sell our catch!
"
"Furthermore, the priests of the Church of Storms all said that my stuff was plentiful and good, and they would give me a lot more pearl coins every time to buy it... and they also told me to go to them as soon as I saved up enough, and there was never any problem.
Pass!"
"Then do you know what the market price is?" Lou Ning knew without thinking that the boy had been deceived.
Based on the framework of the current world, Lou Ning can definitely guarantee that the church is the most evil place. After all, they have the absolute advantage in culture and belief, and they play a mediating role between the 'invaders' and the 'original residents'.
Not only can you gain dual faith and gratitude, but you can also establish your own authority. It can also subtly influence the ideas of the original inhabitants and increase the church's bargaining chip in the upper class. How can it possibly provide any visible benefits?
I'm afraid that's because the tribe also hopes to give the teenagers an extra escape route, so they acquiesce to them sneaking out to contact people in the church to increase their goodwill, right?
"Master Priest, they said the market price is twenty pearl coins per catty." Ya'an saw that Lord Lou Ning looked wrong. Even though he felt that he had not made a mistake, he still couldn't help but said cautiously, "Because we have many and good things, so it is per catty."
Twenty-two pearl coins."
Seafood has always been heavy on weight, so in the opinion of young Ya'an, as long as he picks things of better quality, he can get very high returns if he chooses anything casually. Of course, he is happy to sell the things for two more pearl coins - a little can add up to a lot.
I can save as much as I can to buy some delicious food for my mother to nourish her body.
"If the seafood you are talking about refers to sea pearls and clams, I can guarantee you that the normal harvest price outside is priced in silver coins." Lou Ningyou has not experienced the world of the Age of Discovery, so he is not familiar with basic commodity prices.
I know it well.
When she heard such a huge price difference, although she had been prepared for it, she was still surprised by the shamelessness of the Church of Storms. You know, to the people of the primitive tribes, these sea goods are not uncommon, but to the nobles outside
For gentlemen, it is a rare high-quality supplement and luxury product.
There is still a price difference of copper coins between twenty-two pearl coins and one silver coin. When it changes hands, it is equivalent to a price increase of nearly a hundred times. Is it not surprising?
"...How is this possible?!" Ya'an didn't expect to hear such a thing from Lord Lou Ning. Although the other party always said that he had lost his memory, the young man believed that it was just because the Lord had some indescribable problems.
Only out of difficulty would one find such excuses.
In addition, Master Lou Ning always spoke loudly, so the young man never thought that this was probably just speculation, but he still couldn't believe it.
If this is true, doesn't it mean that they have been deceived by the priests for a long time?
But why do they do this? Aren’t they the most devout believers of the Lord of Storms? Every year, the adults tighten their belts and offer countless sacrifices to pray for peace in the coming year. When the priests go on patrol, they even take the initiative to serve as
coolie.
What's more, when the Church of Storms conflicts with other religions, the tribesmen of the Jacob tribe are always sent to the battlefield first. Countless tribesmen have died for this. Is it possible that the priests and the others are all fake?
Their tribe can almost be said to be the poorest tribe on the entire Jacob Island. In the past, other tribes always laughed at them for being stupid. The young Ya'an also thought that those people were just jealous that they could get the blessing and trust of the Storm Lord.
.
But now it seems that they are the ones who are really stupid.
"That's not what you said." Lou Ning saw that the young man's face was wrong and he was unwilling to expose his wounds. He also thought that the tribe would accept such an arrangement. There might be other considerations, "Judging from the geographical location of Jacob Island, you guys
It is probably a place of contention among everyone. If they really have any special abilities, they probably hope that through such offerings, the priests of the Church of Storms can give you more shelter."
Life is not a romantic fantasy, but a struggle and calculation that is more cruel than blood.
Lou Ning had observed the decoration and conversation of the entire tribe, as well as the fact that they believed in the Lord of Storms on the surface, but in fact maintained their own complete beliefs and cultural heritage. He could guess that the history of the entire Jacob tribe should be several times longer than the invasion by outsiders.
In this case, appropriate compromises and concessions may be the only way to block the ambitions and desires of those people.
"...You are thinking too much. We are subject to military conscription every year. Thousands of clan members have to go to the battlefield. How can there be any extra protection?" Young Ya'an thought of the countless tombs in the village, and there are already several
Neighbors who had lived together because their families had lost their son, their nails almost piercing the flesh of their palms, said bitterly, "We are the ones who are stupid after all!"
"In this case, then the matter needs to be considered in the long term." Lou Ning knew that judging from this situation, the Church of Storms and other major forces had already carved up all the resources of Jacob Island, especially after years of brainwashing, the young man
This generation may even forget almost everything about their ancestors.
Even if they really want to resist those excessive rules and manipulations, it is difficult for them to overthrow them based on their abilities. If they are not saved, they will be beaten up, and they will find reasons to directly hunt them all down.
"Sir, please help us!" Ya'an looked straight at Lou Ning with a pair of dark brown eyes. She was so excited about the bountiful catch yesterday that she even thought she could stop her mother from weaving and farming.
Being completely destroyed, "I don't want to continue like this at all! I want to go out! I want to make the tribe strong and never be bullied again!"
What is the Church of Storms? Even the elders of the tribe are reluctant to treat even the slightest cut, and even charge a very high fee! Unfortunately, they really thought that this would consume a lot of energy from the priests, and they felt extremely guilty...
