I was a priest in the primitive beast world

The Beast World has always been bartering. With the development of the Wooden Tribe, all the surrounding tribes have become affiliated tribes of the Wooden Tribe.

Although the tribes hadn't reached the point where they could live comfortably, Shen Nong also discovered that the orcs of these tribes would use the meat and animal skins they got to exchange for various furniture, spices, and mud houses and brick houses.

Bartering has become less suitable for trade between tribes now.

Shen Nong pushed the concept of "money" to the eyes of the tribes.

In the future, all the orcs working in the wood tribe will no longer give cured meat and animal skins.Instead, they distribute silver and copper coins.

You can use silver and copper coins to go to the Wood Tribe Bazaar to trade various things. All things are clearly marked with prices. More silver can be exchanged for more things, and less silver can be exchanged for less.

You can also use silver to invite wood tribe craftsmen to build houses in their respective tribes. If you want to build roads in the tribe, you can also spend silver to buy wood tribe cement.

Since no gold mine has been found, Shen Nong traded the gold mines of the Stone Tribe, and the orcs of the Yu Tribe flew to the marginal tribes in groups. Now the Stone Tribe has changed a lot, just like a replica of the Little Wood Tribe.

Shen Shi was also sent by Shen Nong to build a mine. Gold and jade are now the main sources of Shen Nong's infrastructure. Shen Nong decided to trade only silver and copper coins before he settled down completely.

When Shen Nong announced that silver and copper coins would replace bacon and animal skins, the orcs of the various tribes were still somewhat reluctant.

How can stones and flakes compare with cured meat and animal skins?These two things can neither be eaten nor worn, and the orcs hold them lightly in their hands without any sense in their hearts.

The Wood Tribe had already distributed meat and animal skins once a month, but now they were replaced with silver and copper coins, so naturally they also distributed them once a month.

The orcs, who had been notified early that they would no longer give out meat, still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and finally looked forward to the day when they would receive their wages.

When they didn't see the meat carts and animal skin carts, the last hope in the hearts of the orcs was gone.They looked at their palms worriedly. They used to be able to carry a pile of meat and animal skins back to the tribe, but now they got a few broken stones.

The captains of each team listened to Shen Nong's instructions and emphasized the value of silver again, "Listen well, one copper coin is one penny, the usual copper coin is one thousand copper coins, and one thousand copper coins is one tael of silver.

Bacon is sold in the Mutri market, and a catty of cured meat costs five copper coins.The wages of the orcs in our construction team are high, five taels of silver per person per month, and bacon can be traded for a thousand catties.

In the past, there were only [-] catties of cured meat a day, but in one month, there could be [-] catties of cured meat, plus two pieces of animal skins that were not too big or too small.But think about it, the crushed stones in your hands can now be traded for a thousand catties of cured meat, which is four hundred catties more than before. The extra cured meat can be exchanged for two large whole animal hides.

The high priest is giving us a salary increase! "

The orcs of the construction team were stunned when they heard this. They subconsciously held the broken stone tightly. The high priest would not lie to them.

The wages of other teams are also converted into silver or copper coins according to the previous payment standards, and some more are added on this basis.

The second day after each team of the Wood tribe paid their wages was a rest day, and the orcs from all tribes came to the market early and waited for the market to open.

The orcs guarding the market were awakened by a noise. It was just dawn and it was not time for the market to open.There was a lot of noise outside, and the orc, who was afraid of something, quickly got up and looked out through the window.

There was a group of orcs on the wall of the market, crowded together, looking into the market with their heads hooked.

The orcs guarding the market were startled when they saw this scene, thinking that these orcs were going to climb the wall to enter the market to grab things.He hurriedly woke up the other guarded orcs, "It's not good, get up quickly, a group of orcs are coming to grab the market!"

This voice made all the orcs shout, and they picked up their bows and arrows and walked out. The sharp arrows were strung up, and the cold and sharp iron arrows pointed at the wall. The orcs guarding the market sternly warned: "If you dare to jump over the wall to grab Bazaar, this arrow will shoot into your heads!"

Grab the market?What grabbing the bazaar?

The orcs of the various tribes were dumbfounded. They also knew that the iron arrows of the Wood tribe were not just for fun. If they were shot into the head, they would definitely die.

The quick-reacting orc recognized who was shouting, and quickly shouted: "Fox! We are not robbing the market, we are here to trade!"

……

The wood tribe's market is usually tepid, and the busiest time is only the trading day.I don't know what's wrong with these orcs today. Not to mention that they all came so early.

In the past, the stall owners opened their doors and waited for the orcs to trade. Today, the orcs are guarding the market and waiting for the stall owners to start.

After the stall owners of various stalls came, they were also taken aback by the orcs that filled the market.The wooden tribe's bazaar is very large, except for trading days, how can we usually see so many people, the bazaar is almost full.

To be honest, even on a trading day, there were not as many people as there are today.

"Hey, didn't you say you want to buy all the bacon?" The orc of the Grass Tribe asked the orc of the Rain Tribe who was standing in front of the meat pie stand, drooling.

The meatloaf in the market is what I want to make, and now the oil pan is just starting to heat up.The seasonings were put in the meatloaf, and when the oil pan sizzled, the aroma wafted far away.

The Rain Tribe orc swallowed, and raised two fingers, "You can buy two of these meatloaf for one copper coin."

The smell of the meatloaf stand was really alluring, and after a while, orcs surrounded the stand.

"I want four fish cakes."

"I want six beef pies! Two fish pies!"

"Give me two of your meaty patties!"

"Me too!"

Wild vegetables in the animal world are more expensive than meat, and the meat in the market is very cheap, but the prices of seasonings, animal skins, baskets, animal skin clothes, fish skin clothes, coir raincoats and bamboo hats are not cheap.

Paper and pen, ore paint, not to mention furniture, the cheapest chair costs two hundred cash.For those coated with tung oil, an additional 150 wen will be added to the original price.The quantity of tung oil is small now, and rare things are more expensive.

At the beginning, the orcs who came to the market rushed to exchange broken silver and copper coins for bacon and animal skins.After I really went to the market, I put aside my initial thoughts in the morning.

Some stayed in front of the barbecue stand and the meat pie stand, and some bought jam at the jam stand, and there were other stalls, all of which were patronized by the orcs.

Since there were enough pickled meat and animal skins, there were not many orcs patronizing these two stalls.

However, some orcs just bought cheap patties and some bacon, and other stalls just looked at them.

The wages of the orcs working in the wood tribe are not completely their own.

At the beginning, the bacon and animal skins that the orcs paid for their monthly wages were handed over to the tribe.Later, each tribe saved enough supplies, and their priests also allowed the orcs to keep some for themselves instead of handing them all in.

Although it is now replaced by silver and copper coins, everything is still the same.Therefore, the more the orcs earn, the more they can keep.

Xiong Qi from the Grass Tribe stood in front of the jam stand, moving the tip of his nose from time to time in an attempt to smell the sweet smell of jam.At the beginning of spring work, he was rewarded with a bowl of jam sweet water for his good performance. Xiong Qi would dream of that taste every night when he went to sleep.

Seeing it at the market now, I can't move my feet.But he doesn't have enough money to buy jam at all...

Xiong Qi pinched the copper coin in his hand, he didn't lose his mind for a long time, and then cheered up. The copper coin is no better than bacon, and it won't go bad after a long time.As long as he saves long enough, he will definitely be able to buy a jar of jam!

After this market, although the orcs still don't quite understand what money is, they vaguely know that money is better than giving bacon and animal skins directly.

They can trade money for anything they want directly, and everything has a set price, and as long as they save up that money, they can trade.

Before giving cured meat animal skins, cured meat can be stored for a long time, but there is also a limit.If the animal hides are piled up for too long, they will also become bad.Money is different, it never goes bad.Because of this, the orcs started to save money.

Some want to buy some expensive things that are usually out of reach, and many orcs want to save money to build a house.If you can't think of a brick house, then think of an earthen house.

Thinking of this, the whole body is full of energy, and the orcs don't seem to know how tired they are.

Silver and copper coins have completely become the currency circulated between the wooden tribe and the surrounding tribes.

Since the start of work in the early spring of this year, all orcs from all tribes have come to work in the Wood tribe.Road construction, which has been delayed due to various things, is also on the agenda, and progress is rapid.

There is enough cement, enough manpower, and part of it has been repaired before. This time, a lot of manpower was invested, and the cement roads leading to various tribes were built very quickly.

Spring and autumn are not long, and it is already the end of spring, and it is still cool in the morning and evening, but the sun at noon is indeed very strong.Unless it is raining, the cement road will dry out in three or four days.

After the concrete road was repaired, the orcs no longer transformed their objects back and forth, but used flatbed trucks instead, which was easier, faster, and stable.

Shen Nong stood on the observation deck and looked at the road built in front of the wooden tribe's city wall. People were walking on it, and there was a vague appearance of approaching a new social civilization.

He stepped down from the observation deck, remembering that when he first crossed, the system said that he should take this primitive era into a higher social civilization.

Since he confirmed through Cao Qing some time ago that he was not immune to wood-type abilities but immune to his wood-type abilities, this knowledge made Shen Nong even more confused, and his doubts about the fact that he had traveled to the beast world also increased. deeper and deeper.

Shen Nong also knew that he had nowhere to investigate these mysteries unless the system told him.

Shen Nong can't help but think that when the beast world completely enters a new civilization, and the beast people no longer drink blood, learn characters, and learn skills. After everything is accomplished, his final mission will be considered complete.

At that time, will the system send him back to Interstellar or stay in the Beast World?At first, Shen Nong thought that it was impossible for the Beast World to enter a new social civilization, at least in his lifetime.

Therefore, he didn't think about what would happen to him if it was realized.

Now according to the development of the Wood Tribe, he is very likely to complete the system's tasks while alive.

After this question came up, Shen Nong asked the system, but the system only said that it had no authority to answer and could only ask the main system.Shen Nong pitted the main system, knowing that it held more grudges than himself, and the other party would definitely not tell him easily.

Shen Nong was thinking about things in his heart, he didn't look at the road much when he was walking, his feet were tied by something, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have fallen to the ground.

After he stood firm, he looked down at what was binding him on the ground.

The orcs of the food preparation team saw that the high priest almost tripped over the purple bamboo they piled up, and quickly put down the ingredients in their hands and ran to Shen Nong, asking eagerly, "High priest, did you fall?"

"It's okay." Shen Nong didn't look up, and picked up a purple bamboo with his hand, "Where did this come from?"

Asked about this, the orcs of the food production team couldn't help but sighed, "This is the bamboo cut by the production team. It was originally used to make bamboo tubes. Who knew that the purple bamboo is solid and the skin is thin. And green Bamboo is not the same at all and cannot be used.

They didn't want to just throw it all away, so they dragged it over and said it would be used as a fire for us.Who knew that the purple bamboo was full of water, so it couldn't burn the fire at all.The captain said to drag it out to dry and use it when it dries. "

"Bring a knife." Shen Nong, who had guessed in his heart, became more certain of his thoughts after hearing the orc's description.

The orc came back quickly, Shen Nong took the kitchen knife, raised the knife and dropped it, and the "purple bamboo" was split into two by Shen Nong.The fibers in the cross-section were cut flat, a trace of juice leaked out, and then disappeared quickly.

But the sweet fragrance lingered on the tip of the nose for a long time.

What kind of bamboo is this? It's clearly sugarcane!

"Put all these sugarcanes in a sheltered place with soil. Sprinkle some water on the soil to keep it moist. Then add a layer of soil on the sugarcane after putting it away." Shen Nong said while buying a primitive juicer made of wood in the system mall. Machine design drawing.

The orcs of the food preparation team heard from Shen Nong's words that the purple bamboo was called sugar cane, and it was very important.He didn't dare to delay, and quickly called other orcs to keep the sugar cane as Shen Nong said.

This preservation method can keep unpeeled sugarcane for a month.During this period of time, it is enough to study the juicer by looking at the drawings.

With sugar cane, there is brown sugar, rock sugar, and white sugar.From now on, the Wood Tribe will not have to worry about sugar!

Hundreds of miles away from the Wood Tribe, the orc team led by Snake Forest from the Beast City was stopping there to rest.

Captain Shi Lei looked around the surrounding mountains, feeling that someone was watching them, he felt a little uneasy, "Yingshan, you change your form to find out."
