Chapter 594 The best hide
The place that Shao Xuan likes is also at the intersection of two rivers, which can facilitate boat trips. When Shao Xuan was drawing and laying out the drawings, he also specially drew the place to build a dock on the animal skin roll. ◎,
There were no long-distance missions, no rotations, and no hunters, and were transferred to the land designated by Shao Xuan and began to build.
In the minds of tribes, the first task of enclosing land is to surround your own place and let outsiders know that this land belongs to them.
Therefore, in the past few days, I will see some Flame-horn warriors using thick and tough vine ropes, tied a pile of stones of different sizes on their shoulders or carried them on their backs, and transported them into the new circle of land.
The stones were dug in nearby mountains. The surrounding mountains were not big, but they were still common and did not belong to any tribe. They could see some vigilant outsiders hiding in the bushes, staring at the people coming and going.
Those who fall outside dare not attack Yanjiao people. Anyone who sees people who can easily carry so many stones and still be able to joke will be afraid first. Don’t say that they have not seen one or two Yanjiao people every time they see, be more careful.
There must be people who are curious. Those small tribes that live in unknown small corners may be very inconspicuous, but they must have their own abilities and ways of living, otherwise they will not be able to survive. Shao Xuan would not ignore and underestimate those tribes.
After learning that some people from unknown tribes were peeping in the dark nearby, Shao Xuan asked someone to prepare some wooden signs, and then used pigments made from plants to write on the wooden signs.
The words written on the wooden sign tell the tribes who came out to find food nearby: First, we are going to Yanjiao here; Second, we Yanjiao intend to build this place into a trading area called Yanhe Trading Area. The trading area will be opened once before the winter officially arrives. If any tribe wants to trade, you can come and have a look; Third, our Yanjiao has a large number of high-quality animal skins. All beasts and ferocious beasts are there.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan added another sentence at the end: "Fair transactions, no deception."
After writing it, Shao Xuan handed the wooden sign to the warrior who transported the stones. "I found a place to insert it on the road."
The soldiers who transported the stones looked at it and understood what Shao Xuan meant. Without saying much, they picked up the wooden board and left quickly. They also had to transport the stones.
Yanjiao has a lot of human strength and the efficiency of transporting stones is fast. Shao Xuan has only been encircled here for two days, and half of the outer wall has been built. Shao Xuan said that it will be open here before winter, which is not a random talk, but a calculation.
Shao Xuan also sent messages to the Yi tribe, the Yu tribe, the Pu tribe, and some nearby tribes that they know at this stage, telling them about the Yanhe trading area.
The Yu tribe has started to sharpen the knife and prepare for trading. They are already reserved and are planning to exchange something with Yanjiao before winter. Now, when they learn about the Yanhe trading area, they are more interested. People in the Yu tribe may not like what the Yanjiao people like. If they only trade with Yanjiao people, they may not be able to exchange what they need. Now, the appearance of the Yanhe trading area may give them more choices, so they are naturally busy.
Some idle craftsmen in the tribe came to help after the shipbuilding ended. Lao Ke also came. He was unable to move, but he was good at polishing stone tools and wood tools. He could help build houses. If Caesar was there, he would carry Lao Ke and travel with other soldiers to come here on a boat across the Yan River. After finishing his work, he would go back. If Caesar went hunting, Zhazha would bring Lao Ke here, and he would not even have to sit on the boat.
The craftsmen of Yanjiao did not rest after the shipbuilding, so they took the initiative to ask for help. They like to create, not to mention that the Yanhe Trading Zone is a good thing for Yanjiao, and they are willing to be so busy.
The long-distance team had already left. Before the team left, Shao Xuan had already confirmed the location of the Yanhe trading area. Therefore, before the team left, he had told the people who were traveling that if they went to the inland trading area, they would tell the people there that the best animal skin was in the Yanhe trading area.
Is this wrong? That's right, absolutely true!
The Yanjiao Man dared to shout openly, "We just have the best animal skin!" It is also true.
At the same time, Shao Xuan also asked the soldiers who traveled far away to tell those outbound trades that the animal skins are more expensive in winter. If you want to exchange the same thing for more animal skins, you can go to the Yanhe trading area to exchange them in other seasons.
In the past two winters, the climate was abnormal and naturally there was no need for animal skins. But now that the disasters in the world have passed, the climate will return to its original state. There may be other changes, but the situation in the past two years will never be repeated immediately.
In many places on the mainland, it will definitely snow in winter and may even be colder. Otherwise, the migrating flocks of birds will not only fly here, rather than to other places. The demand for animal skins will definitely increase soar this year. The disaster in the past has caused heavy losses to many tribes and may not be able to get enough skins to keep warm. Even if there are, how can the skins that raise animals be comparable to those of ferocious animals?
Some people also use animal hair, feathers, straw and other things as fillings and make simple jackets with linen cloth. However, in terms of keeping warm, there is absolutely no fur to be convenient and strong, especially the fur of ferocious beasts, which is very popular among many people.
The animal skins brought out by the long-distance team will definitely be sold out, but as for the people there, it is not certain whether they will come to the Yanhe trading area to change the animal skins.
Shao Xuan didn't plan to make the Yanhe trading area immediately known to everyone. This is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.
However, the emergence of this trading area will definitely attract more tribal people from the upstream and downstream of the Yan River, so that Shao Xuan can get more news from the upstream and downstream of the Yan River without taking a boat by himself.
Only people can communicate, and only when there is communication can there be information circulation. What Yanjiao does is just to provide a place for communication.
Of course, there will definitely be some people with bad intentions coming over and want to rob or steal. Yan Jiao has always only one attitude towards such people: kill!
Even friendly tribes will not show mercy to those who steal or steal their own property.
Shao Xuan compared the pictures drawn on the animal skin scroll and explained them carefully to the craftsmen. After confirming that they understood, he went to the next place.
The team transporting the stones had already taken the wooden boards written by Shao Xuan to leave the trading area to drill a mountain.
They walked among the woods, and they were transporting stones in the past two days. They had already walked out of a path. The trees on the path were cut off, the obstacles on the road were removed, and the grass on the ground had been trampled into grass mud.
"Just just fuck here." Lang Ga inserted the board he was carrying to the side of the path, quickly glanced at the woods not far away, and then left with the others.
Shortly after they left, several figures approached carefully. They were unkempt and covered with some randomly woven vines. They took two steps and stopped to listen. They confirmed that there were no one else around and then continued to get closer.
They came to the wooden board that was inserted here just now. The man frowned and looked at the words on the board. His expression was a little difficult, as if it was difficult for him to identify the words on the board.
Although there are indeed common texts and languages on the mainland, not every tribe has such high literacy rates.
The man at the beginning finally read the words on the wooden board, and then he talked to the people behind him. Several people formed a circle and gathered together to discuss, and there were also people standing outside and carefully following around.
After the discussion was completed, the man who led the lead walked to the wooden board, gritted his teeth and pulled the wooden board up hard.
After pulling it out, several people ran away as if there were ferocious beasts chasing them from behind.
So, when Lang Ga came with a stone, he saw that there was only one pit left when he inserted the wooden sign. (To be continued.)
