Original War

Chapter 595

The place that Shao Xuan fancyed was also at the intersection of two rivers, which would facilitate boat traffic. When Shao Xuan was drawing the layout, he also deliberately drew the place where the dock will be built on the animal skin scroll.

There was no mission, no rotation, and no hunters, so he was transferred to the land set by Shao Xuan and started construction.

In the minds of tribesmen, the first task of enclosing land is to enclose the own place and let outsiders know that this piece of land belongs to them.

Therefore, in the past few days, every day, some flame horn warriors have used thick and tough rattan ropes, tied with a pile of stones of various sizes, carried on their shoulders or on their backs, and headed into the new enclosure. transport.

The excavated stones are all in the nearby mountains. The surrounding mountains are not big, but they are still common. They still don’t belong to any tribe. From time to time, they can see some watchful outsiders hiding in the bushes. They stare at each other. The Yan Horned Man.

Those who are outsiders dare not attack the people of Yanjiao. Anyone who sees people who can talk and laugh with so many rocks easily, will be jealous for the first time, let alone that the people they see every time are not the people of Yanjiao. One or two, be more careful.

There must be people who are curious. Those small tribes who live in no small corners may be very inconspicuous, but they must have their own capabilities and ways of living, otherwise they cannot survive. Shao Xuan would not ignore those tribes.

After learning that some people from unknown tribes were watching in the dark nearby, Shao Xuan asked someone to prepare some wooden signs, and then use the paint made from plants to write on the wooden signs.

The words written on the wooden sign tell the tribesmen who came out to search for food in this neighborhood three things: first, we want this place in Yanjiao; second, our Yanjiao intends to build a trading area here, called Yanhe Trading Zone, the trading zone will be opened once before the official arrival of winter. If any tribe wants to trade, you can come and have a look. Third, we have a large number of high-quality animal skins in Yanhorn, including wild beasts and beasts.

After thinking about it, Shao Xuan added another sentence at the end: “Fair trade, young people are not deceived.”

After writing it, Shao Xuan handed the wooden sign to the soldier carrying the stone, “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. Not to mention, they picked up the wooden planks and left quickly. They had to transport the stones.

Yanjiao has a lot of manpower, and the efficiency of transporting stones is also high. Shao Xuan circled this place for only two days. The outer wall has been half built. Shao Xuan said that it can be opened before winter. It is not nonsense, but calculation. of.

Shao Xuan also had people send messages to the Yi tribe, the Yu tribe, the Pu tribe, and the tribes along the Yanhe River that they knew at this stage, telling them about the Yanhe Trade Zone.

The rain tribe has already begun to sharpen their knives and prepare for the transaction. They are already stocking up, planning to exchange something with Yanjiao before winter. Now that they learn about the Yanhe trading area, they are more interested, Yanjiao people People in the Yu tribe may not like the things they 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, naturally. Too busy.

Some idle craftsmen in the tribe also came to help after the shipbuilding was over. Old Ke also came here. He has limited mobility, but he is still good at polishing stone and wood, and he can help if he builds a house. If Caesar is there, he will carry Old Ke and take a boat with the other soldiers to get here through the Yanhe River. When he is finished, he will go back. If Caesar is going hunting, Chacha will bring him over, so he doesn’t even need to ride the boat.

The craftsmen of Yanjiao didn’t rest after the shipbuilding was completed. They actively asked for help. They like to create. Moreover, the Yanhe Trading Area is a good thing for Yanjiao. They are happy to be so busy.

The long-travel team has already left. Before the team left, Shao Xuan had already determined the land of the Yanhe trading area. Therefore, before the team left, he had told the long-travelers that if they had gone inland In the trading area, tell the people there that the best animal skins are in the Yanhe trading area.

Is this wrong? That’s right, absolutely right!

The Flame Horners dared to shout out such a sentence, “We just have the best animal skins!” It is also true.

At the same time, Shao Xuan also asked the warriors on the far travel to tell those outside the inland trading team that the animal skins are more expensive in winter. If you want to trade the same thing for more animal skins, you can use them in other seasons. At that time, go to the Yanhe Trading Area to exchange.

In the past two winters, the weather was abnormal and naturally no animal skins were needed, but now that the world has changed, the climate will return to its original state, and there may be other changes, but the situation of the past two years will never be repeated immediately.

In many places on the mainland, it will definitely snow in winter, and it may even be colder. Otherwise, the migrating bird flocks will not only fly here instead of towards other places. The demand for animal skins will definitely increase sharply this year, and the disaster in the past has caused many tribes to suffer heavy losses, and they may not be able to get enough animal skins to keep warm. Even if there is, how can the animal skins that raise animals can be compared to fierce beasts? Hides?

Some people use animal hair, feathers, straw and other things as fillers, and use linen cloth to make simple jackets. But in terms of keeping warm, there is absolutely no fur as convenient and strong, especially the fur of fierce beasts, which is very popular among many people. like.

The hides brought out by the expedition team will definitely be sold out, but as for whether the people there will come to the Yanhe trading area to exchange the hides, it is not certain.

Shao Xuan did not intend to immediately make the Yanhe Trading Area known to everyone. This is not something that can be completed in a short time. It takes a longer process. Perhaps, taking out the new bronzes will attract more attention. , But at this stage, it is not wise to take it out. Yanjiao is in short supply internally, how could it be possible to trade?

However, the emergence of this trading zone will definitely attract more tribal people from the upper and lower reaches of the Yan River, so that Shao Xuan can get more news about the upper and lower reaches of the Yan River without having to take a boat by himself.

There are talents for communication, and communication for information circulation. What Yanjiao does is just to provide a place for communication.

Of course, some people with bad intentions will come over, wanting to snatch or steal. For such people, Yanjiao has always had only one attitude: kill!

Even a friendly tribe will not show mercy to those who steal or snatch their belongings.

Shao Xuan compared the picture drawn on the animal skin scroll and explained it in detail to the builders. After making sure that they understood, he went to the next place.

The team that transported the stones had already left the trading area with the wooden planks written by Shao Xuan and went to the land of the mountain.

They were walking among the woods, transporting stones back and forth in the past two days, and they have walked out of a trail. The trees on the trail have been cut down, the obstacles on the road have been removed, and the grass on the ground has been trampled into grass mud.

“Just insert it here.” Lang Ga pushed the wooden plank he was carrying to the side of the path, quickly scanned the woods not far away, and then left with the others.

Soon after they left, several figures approached cautiously. They were unkempt, covered only with some random weaving of rattan and grass. After walking two steps, they stopped and listened to confirm that there were no other people around before continuing to approach.

They came to the wooden board just inserted here, and the person in the head frowned and looked at the words on the wooden board. His complexion was bitter. It seemed that it was quite difficult for him to recognize the words on the wooden board.

Although there are indeed common scripts and languages ​​on this continent, not every tribe has a high literacy rate.

The person at the head finally recognized the words on the wooden board, and then whispered to the people behind him. Several people formed a circle, and when they got together to discuss, there was another person standing on the periphery and carefully watching the surroundings.

When the discussion is over, the person in the lead walks to the plank, holds the plank and gritted his teeth and pulls the plank up.

After being pulled out, a few people seemed to be chasing after a fierce beast, and ran away.

So, when Lang Ga came over carrying the stone, he saw the place where he inserted the wooden sign, leaving only a hole.
