The rapeseed was transported by the soldiers to the tent for storage, Su Yao and Zhongli continued to walk to the place they saw before, where there was a large amount of sugar cane.

Sugarcane can be squeezed into sweet sugar, which both adults and children in the tribe like to eat, but they have not yet discovered the role of sugar in winter.

The Blessed Tribe brought sufficient supplies this time, and it was easy to exchange these sugar canes.

Originally it was Su Yao and Zhong Li who went to discuss the exchange price, but now Jiang Benyuan approached him and said that he also had a large amount of supplies in reserve and wanted to exchange them with the God Blessed Tribe.

So Su Yao and Zhong Li had no choice but to go with Jiang Benyuan to the residence of the Youjiang Tribe, while Qing Shui brought the warriors to talk to the stall owner about exchanging sugar cane.

Jiang Benyuan took the two of them directly to their material storage tent. Along the way, he met many leaders who wanted to make friends with these two people, but Jiang Benyuan refused without a trace.

Now even if he has to lose some face, he still has to reject these leaders. After all, the cold winter is a big test, and whether they can withstand the test is related to the lifeline of the tribe's survival.

Su Yao and Zhongli naturally also saw the turbulent undercurrent between them, but for them, they can cooperate with anyone as long as they exchange the desired materials.

Jiang Benyuan personally opened the rope tied to the tent and welcomed the two of them in. As far as he could see, they were all tightly sealed bags.

The bags made of similar linen fibers were a whole circle larger than the animal skin bags. Jiang Benyuan unwrapped a bag to reveal the golden particles inside.

"What is this?" Su Yao asked Jiang Benyuan with a look of surprise. It's not that he didn't know this thing, but he didn't know what the Youjiang tribe called this thing.

"We call this thing soybeans." Jiang Benyuan grabbed a handful in his hand: "Little yellow beans, isn't that a nice name?"

Su Yao was surprised that there are so many soybeans here, and also surprised that the wild and modern naming methods are highly similar.

"Did you grow this thing?" It stands to reason that some crops such as rice should be grown in the south.

Jiang Benyuan shook his head: "It grows itself on the plain, and we are only responsible for taking it back."

The Youjiang Plain is vast and abundant, and they don't need to work hard to get enough plant food, and for meat, there are countless fish and shrimp in the water.

In addition to the wild sheep and wild birds that are everywhere on the plain, the tribes on the Youjiang Plain will basically not be short of food in spring, summer and autumn.

Su Yao also grabbed a handful of soybeans and observed them carefully, and found that the soybeans produced in the wilderness were larger than those he found on the mountain.

These can be exchanged back as seeds, and those stored in the tribe as seeds can be distributed to the people in the tribe for consumption.

"We also have this thing in our tribe." Su Yao looked at Jiang Benyuan: "It's just not as many as yours."

When Jiang Benyuan heard Su Yao's words, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He thought that this thing was only available on their plains, so he wanted to exchange for more supplies with the idea of ​​rare goods.

Who knows that Su Yao said that the God Blessed Tribe also has this thing, so it must not be able to exchange the price in his mind now.

Jiang Benyuan shook his head and smiled wryly: "So you already have it, so are you going to exchange it?"

Su Yao nodded: "I would like to exchange some back. There are a lot of people in our tribe, so it's good to exchange some back to change the taste. But you also know the shortcomings of this thing, I can't give high-quality supplies."

When Jiang Benyuan heard that Su Yao was going back to change the taste of the tribe, he only had a lot of thoughts in his heart. He couldn't help but want to ask how many people and how rich the Shenyou tribe has.

But he was also afraid that after asking the question, the size of the other party's tribe would far exceed the current Youjiang tribe. When facing the other party's powerful super tribe not far from here, should he be panicked or pretend to be ignorant?

Dozens of thoughts surged through his mind, Jiang Benyuan still subconsciously answered Su Yao's question: "The taste of this stuff is not good when cooked, and it is easy to be flatulent after eating, but it is a must to fill the stomach." , you won’t be hungry for most of the day after eating a bowl.”

"It's easy to get heartburn." Su Yao answered with a slight smile, "And it's not easy to expel if you eat too much."

Seeing that Su Yao knew so much about the shortcomings of soybeans, Jiang Benyuan had an embarrassed expression on his face: "Well, Su God envoys you to come up with a way, and we can change it according to what you said."

Jiang Benyuan changed his title and put himself on an equal footing with Su Yao, not because his knees were weak and he was afraid of the God Blessing Tribe, but because the situation this year was really difficult and he had no choice.

In previous years, the cold winter did not come so fast, and the food was well prepared. Soybeans were only eaten by the lower classes and slaves in their Youjiang tribe.

But this summer was just harvest time and there was a flood. The torrential rain for more than a month smashed all the mature white beans (rice) into the mud, and they rescued less than half of what they had in previous years.

Moreover, during the period of late summer and early autumn, there were thunderstorms every afternoon, which led to a lot less prey when they were hunting. After several changes in the weather, this year's cold winter gave him a headache.

"Then let's exchange it with bacon and dried sweet potatoes!" Su Yao didn't think about how to severely suppress the price. The purpose of his trip this time was to do good deeds. Jiang Benyuan had a good attitude. Soybeans are also very useful, and he can change it a little bit.

"By the way," Su Yao heard the footsteps outside, and suddenly remembered: "If you really have no supplies, you can exchange them with slaves, which is more cost-effective than soybeans."

Jiang Benyuan was stunned, yes, he was still discussing with other leaders about exchanging slaves for supplies, now he can also exchange with Shenyou Tribe.

As for the thought that he was still worried about whether the Shenyou tribe was a super tribe and might pose a threat to the Youjiang tribe, he had already left it behind.

It is not yet decided whether the cold winter can be passed well, why do you want to go so far?

"Then please wait for God Envoy Su, I'll ask someone to bring those slaves over." Jiang Benyuan called to stop the warriors passing by outside the tent, and arranged for the exchange.

And Su Yao's eyes fell on those small animal skin bags. The animal skin bags were sewn with the skin of wild sheep, and they were only as high as his knees, but Su Yao smelled a familiar smell from inside.

Zhong Li also discovered what was inside: "Is it tea?"

Su Yao nodded: "It should be dried tea leaves."

Su Yao also searched for tea trees in the surrounding mountains of the Great Wilderness Mountains, and only found a few old tea trees with average growth and average varieties, which were not worth planting.

This time all the way south, he thought about finding a few tea trees to bring back if he could, but he didn't expect to find his target so quickly.

"Are you two talking about 'fragrant leaves'?" Jiang Benyuan saw two people discussing with tea bags when he came back after arranging things, so he explained: "This is the leaf of a tree on the mountain. It is dried and boiled in water. It tastes good after drinking."

"The old priest of our tribe said that it can also cure headaches and stomachaches. It is a treasure given to us by the gods, so he gave it a nice name called Fragrant Leaf. You can exchange it if you want."

Su Yao was very moved by these tea leaves.It's not that he never thought about asking Jiang Benyuan to exchange tea trees, but he quickly dismissed the idea when he thought about the scene of the tribe being icy and snowy in winter.

The exchange of soybeans went smoothly, and Su Yao specially gave Jiang Benyuan a star scale. All the exchanges were carried out with the participation of the star scale, which was very fair and just.

In the end, the Youjiang tribe successfully exchanged five catties of soybeans for one catty of bacon in exchange for a thousand catties of bacon.They exchanged three catties of soybeans for one catty of dried sweet potatoes and exchanged more than 800 catties of dried sweet potatoes.

In addition, Qingshui spent tens of thousands of catties of supplies in exchange for tens of thousands of catties of sugar cane, so the supplies brought by the fleet were exchanged for nearly half.

Su Yao did not plan to exchange the remaining materials for other materials he had seen, and kept them for slaves.

When the leaders heard the news from Jiang Benyuan, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet, annoyed that they were slow and let the old thing take the lead.

But soon they exchanged all the redundant slaves in their own tribe to replace the original supplies.

When the cold winter comes, the slaves can't do much work but waste a lot of food. For every tribe, the slaves at this time are "waste" that can only come in and out, and their greatest use is to exchange materials.

It's a pity that the materials Su Yao brought were limited. These tribes didn't exchange all the materials even if they fought over their heads. They could only try their best to attract Su Yao's attention elsewhere in exchange for more for themselves. H.

For example, if you exchange a young slave, you can get an older slave for free, or you can exchange a young slave for a young slave.

For these leaders, after this cold winter, they will have enough resources to exchange slaves in other places next year when the flowers bloom.

And if they missed Su Yao, a big customer, they would be hungry throughout the cold winter, and there might be even bigger disasters waiting for them.

The arrival of God's Blessed Tribe brought new vitality to this almost unsustainable tribal gathering.Originally, everyone was poor and tightened their belts for one-on-one exchanges. No one had any good things, so they could only exchange bran for vegetables.

Now suddenly a rich man came who had meat and food, and said that they could get the meat they wanted with their chaff, and the whole tribal assembly was vying to make a deal with the people of the God Blessed Tribe.

In just two days, the fleet brought by the God Blessed Tribe, except for the rations reserved for the soldiers, all the rest turned into supplies and exchanged with tribes big and small.

During this period, the soldiers also drove big boats and braved the cold wind at night to fish in the river all night, and all the fish they caught were exchanged for supplies.

Fishing is the voluntary behavior of the soldiers, and the materials exchanged are also private to the soldiers. In this regard, Su Yao is very tolerant to his soldiers.

As long as the soldiers are doing their jobs well, Su Yao will not take any extra money they earn through their own labor.

This also made the soldiers more grateful to Su Yao, especially Shitou, who couldn't help but smile a little on his always serious face.

When the fleet was about to set off, he got good news: Su Ya was pregnant with a baby, and the extra money he earned this time was enough to allow Su Ya and her future child to live a prosperous life for a period of time.
