Lang Lang snorted, "Two questions, first, what is the calculation of board and lodging during the period of help? Second, how much do we have to do to repay those beef, sheep, fish and vegetables, you have to make it clear, if your request makes us unacceptable , then I would rather go to war."
"Could it be that you said you want to repay it just for fun? When you said you wanted to repay, I agree that you have agreed to a deal, not to mention using a few combs as a reward. The Jiuyuan tribe is kind but not for you to tease What a fool!" Yan Mo suddenly changed his face.
"Our tribe has taken a great risk to help you. As guests and recipients, you have received such great favor from us, but you always say that you want to fight us. Isn't it because of the relatively small number of our tribe? And have you ever thought about the price and effort that our tribe has only more than 60 people, but we have to bear the board and lodging of more than 200 of you?" Yan Mo slapped the table and said angrily: "You want to start a war, don't you? Alright, I will fulfill you!"
"Wait!" Katie yelled.
"Who wants to start a war?" The door curtain was lifted, and a tall and majestic man walked in from the outside with a hostile look.
Lang Lang and Katie turned around when they heard the voice, subconsciously grasping the weapons at their waists. They couldn't understand Yuan Zhan's language, but they could feel the murderous aura on him.
"Is this the group of dwarfs?" Yuan Zhan walked up to Yan Mo, pulled out his stone ax and pointed at Lang Lang and Katie.
Lang Lang shouted: "I'm not afraid of you!"
Katie yelled louder than him, "Shut up!"
Katie chose to let go of her weapon, and said sincerely to Yan Mo: "My lord priest, we are sincere when we say that we want to repay you, and we will always keep your favor in mind, but these huge numbers make our patriarch Unable to accept it for a while, he is as worried about his people as you are. Although our Momo people are physically strong, we are not good at hunting. If you ask us to do something beyond our ability, or if it takes a long time, no one can be careless. Accept everything with complaint."
"What is this little man talking about? Don't pay attention to them. I have already said that there is no need to be so polite to them, wasting our food, and you give them blessings, but now you want to fight us? They are what you said The white-eyed wolf, just kill the bacon and eat it!" Yuan Zhan was full of murderous looks.
Lang Lang hummed and stood on the chair with his arms folded. He seemed to disdain Yuan Zhan's attitude, but if you look carefully, you will find that he has been secretly observing Yuan Zhan's expression and movements.
Katie stared at Yan Mo closely.
Yan Mo sighed, telling Yuan Zhan not to be impatient, he turned his head and said to Katie: "Respected Master Zuwu, if I lead my people to eat and drink at your place of residence for a while, and say that I want Repay you, but turned your head and wiped your mouth but refused to pay you anything, and even yelled that you would go to war with you, what would you think? Huh?"
"I'm sorry for my patriarch's rudeness. Although he has been yelling about going to war, he is actually like this to everyone, including our brother clan..." Katie seemed to not know what words to use to describe herself the patriarch.
Yan Mo smiled in his heart, this is really a pair of smart dwarves, just like him and Yuan Zhansong, they are also fighting together.
But it's good for everyone to know this kind of thing in their hearts, and under the premise that there is no need to tear your face, it's better not to point it out.
Katie sat down on the chair again, "Master Priest, can we continue the topic just now?"
Yan Mo didn't answer immediately, but looked at Lang Lang.
Lang Lang was standing on a chair and staring fiercely at Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan smiled coldly.
suddenly! Lang Lang, Katie, and everyone else in the room looked at Yuan Zhan... behind him in shock.
There was nothing behind Yuan Zhan, but now the stones were piled up on the ground, quickly forming a large stone chair.
The stone chair is side by side with Yan Mo's wooden chair.
Yuan Zhanda Ma sat down on the stone chair with a golden knife, leaned back, supported one elbow on the armrest of the stone chair, played with the stone ax in one hand, and rested the other on his leg.
Lang Lang's eyes showed envy. Their Momo tribe did not have a blood warrior, and their highest level of warriors was only level three, while the giant in front of them had both combat power and divine power level four.
Yan Mo remained calm, but was actually very surprised in his heart. This person seemed to be more proficient and faster at manipulating and using abilities.
"Patriarch Lang Lang, everyone is sitting down, can you also sit down and talk?" Yan Mo gave Lang Lang a step.
Lang Lang was very sensible, and when he sat down, he also praised Yuan Zhan, "Your leader is very powerful."
Open the topic again.
The leaders and souls of both sides were there. This time Lang Lang didn't yell for war any longer. He had already shown that the Momo tribe would not be willing to be exploited. The rest depends on whether they can accept the proposal of the Jiuyuan tribe.
"Patriarch Lang Lang just raised two questions. Then let's talk about the second one first. The simplest thing is that you participate in hunting. When you hunt and collect the same amount of food, your debts will be paid off. If you are not willing to hunt , then you can convert all those foods into red salt. My tribe has just been established, and there are many things to do. You can freely choose what to do, and then convert it into red salt money according to the rewards given by my tribe. About red salt The money is converted, don’t worry that we will deceive you, because those rewards will be disclosed, and the people in my tribe get the same rewards as your people.”
"The conversion of red salt into money...we don't quite understand it yet." Katie said hesitantly.
"I can explain it in detail. I think you have seen the conversion between food and red salt I announced in the tribe. For example, a cow is worth 800-1200 red salt according to its weight and health, and a sheep is worth 80-120. A grass carp costs about 5 renminbi red salt. And for helping to make stone bricks, 200 stone bricks are exchanged for 10 renminbi. The same is true for building walls, and other things are also paid accordingly.”
Lang Lang opened his mouth wide, "Then how long shall we do it?"
"It won't take long. For example, if you help tribal residents build a stone brick house of 100 square meters, you need about 150,000 to 160,000 stone bricks. You can get 7,500 yuan of red salt as a reward, which is equivalent to about eight One adult cow. 1,037 cows, 490 sheep, 2,420 fat fish, 3,135 wild vegetables, you only need to build more than 130 small houses to fully pay off the debt.”
The number of several thousand turned into more than one hundred and thirty, and Lang Lang and Katie immediately felt that the ageless white-headed priest on the opposite side became much cuter.
Lang Lang is still fighting, "More than 130 houses? How many of you are there? Do you need so many houses?"
"The Jiuyuan Tribe is not limited to this group of people. We have other people who are undergoing the test of the ancestor gods in other places. We will pick them up after they pass the test. And the house is built, so it is convenient for guests to live in."
Lang Lang's eyes lit up, "We are also guests, if we build these houses, will we still be charged for accommodation?"
Hearing the familiar word Qian, Yan Mo felt inexplicably wanting to laugh, but with a embarrassed expression on his face, he deliberately looked at Yuan Zhan, repeated Lang Lang's request, and Yuan Zhan shook his head decisively.
Lang Lang said anxiously: "Anyway, it's useless if you have so many houses empty!"
Yan Mo turned his head, "I will discuss this with the leader again, but even if the accommodation can be waived, your food can only be solved by yourself. If you don't want to go hunting, you can help my tribe's work in exchange for food. Clean You can take the water at will, and you can exchange dry firewood and other supplies with the people in the tribe."
Lang Lang and Katie got together and muttered for a while, and now, they already feel that these conditions are acceptable.
"We have one last... no, two requests." Lang Lang said cheekily: "First, let us live in the house first after it's built. Second, you can't charge us for the accommodation before and after the house is built. .”
"You are really the most greedy and unreasonable guests." Yan Mo smiled helplessly, "I can't give you an answer now, I will discuss with the leader and elders tomorrow and then tell you the final decision."
"Okay!" Lang Lang and Katie looked at each other. Katie was okay, and Lang Lang's eyes were full of the joy of our victory.
After the dwarf left, Yan Mo nodded to indicate that the guards and patrolling warriors could leave, then leaned back in the chair and exhaled slowly.
The warriors saluted the two and walked out of the gate. The guards stood outside the gate and put down the curtain thoughtfully.
Yuan Zhan raised his hand, wanting to touch him very much, but in the end he only put his hand on the back of his chair.
Yan Mo rubbed his forehead.
It is too embarrassing for a doctor to be a businessman. Especially for the red salt conversion, he spent a lot of time calculating, not only considering the rationality, but also considering the current situation that food is too big, and at the same time, the future development of the tribe must be considered.
Using red salt as a conversion, in addition to the need to highlight the value of red salt, there is also the fact that people usually do not calculate many things clearly when conducting transactions. It is good that there are few people in the tribe, but after interacting with the mermaid tribe, some things are too vague , In the future, there will be countless nonsense.
As for making the red salt accurate to the money, as long as there is a scale. And not using the concept of grams is probably his bad taste. After all, he is already familiar with and used to the word money. Thinking that everyone will get used to asking "how much is this thing" in the future, he feels secretly refreshed.
The scale is not difficult to make. Prepare the lever, weight, knob, scale hook or weighing pan and lifting rope. When nothing is placed on the weighing pan, find the center of gravity and the zero scale line of the lifting knob, and then find a standard object. Make a reference weight, and then divide the front sight equally between that reference weight reticle and the zero reticle.
But it's easy to say, in order to make a more reliable scale, Ye Xing and Sa Yu almost racked their brains, and made dozens of steelyards over and over again before they figured out the trick - making a scale is one of the entry tests Yan Mo gave them. one.
As long as you get the hang of it, it is not difficult to make scales with different scales and weights.
Although the scale is not commonly used in the tribe, everyone already knows that there is such a thing. Through the spread of his students, everyone is also familiar with the decimal weight units of catty, two, money, cents, and centimeters.
Many people will take some things to Ye Xing and the others to weigh them if they have nothing to do. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the materials used to make the scales and the limitations of their arm strength, the largest steelyard scale can only weigh two hundred catties, and the smallest scale can only weigh 200 catties. Can be fine to the point.
As for the platform scale that can weigh heavier items, even if the materials are complete, he doesn't know how to do it. The steelyard was originally required to be done in the physics class or handicraft class at school, so he knew how to do it. Later, when he became a doctor of Chinese medicine, he used a lot of small scales, which made him want to forget it and never forget it.
Having said that, he also considered whether to use red salt as an intermediary, or directly substitute the concept of currency. However, currency needs to reach a certain level of social development before it can reflect its true value. Before that, salt, cloth, and grain are the real hard currency. After figuring this out, he did not use the concept of currency, but decided to Just use red salt instead.
The extra thoughts rushed aside, Yan Mo murmured: "What a difficult dwarf."
"Mermaids are more difficult to deal with." Yuan Zhan patted the armrest, "They are helpful to us, but they are also the biggest threat."
Yan Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "It's good to be a threat."
Yuan Zhan looked at him with raised eyebrows.
