After Caesar's situation stabilized, Shao Xuan would go to the Yanhe trading area every day to see if there was any new news. Since the last Yanhe feast, there will be information exchanges and sharing among the major tribes.
After learning that there was movement in the desert and the sea, patrols around Yanjiao were also intensified during this time. People would come to the Yanhe trading area every day. Later, he came to satisfy his curiosity, and some were for buying and selling. He was very skilled at reselling. Shao Xuan heard that after a long-distance team bought animal skins here, they sold them in other trading areas in the middle, and the price doubled. .
During the period when the moonlight is bright, the water moonstone of the Mozu tribe has been in high output. The water moonstone needs the moonlight, and the bigger the moon, the higher the efficiency, and the quality of the water moonstone produced is also better, so, from now on. When the moon was not full, all the tribes began to work overtime, and they have not stopped until now. Except for the people who are on duty, the rest of the people are almost reversed day and night.
Most of the water moon stones obtained were used to repay debts and given to Yanjiao, so even if someone steals it, there will be little gain.
After the debt was repaid, the people of the Eng tribe became more experienced in making water moon stones, and they also tasted the benefits brought by the fusion of fire seeds. At least they don't have to worry about people coming to sneak attacks on the night of the full moon every year. They harvest the water moon stones, no No matter how much you are confined to the night of the full moon, you don't have to stay in the water and moon flow path. You will have less scruples, and you will naturally be able to allocate more mental energy to defend.
The life of the Yu tribe is now on the right track. Some members of the Yu tribe have entered the Yanhe trading area, rented fixed houses, guarded fixed bunks, and displayed cloth, pottery and other objects made by the tribe. Just stay here and wait for people to come and trade. You don’t have to worry about being robbed. On the tribe’s side, the farmland has been reclaimed, and it’s not too far from the river. They don’t need to worry about the water problem. The rivers in the middle have all dried up, and the Yan River will not dry up here either. Food and clothing are worry-free, and the quality of life is improving.
From the initial wait-and-see, to now, more and more tribesmen enter and leave the Yanhe trading area. They don't need to go to more tribes. The Yanhe trading area provides a centralized trading point for them to choose from. The Yanhe trading area is the largest trading area in the Yanhe area. It is also the trading area in the central and grassland areas. the biggest one.
Of course, when every long-distance team came here, what impressed the most was not the hides and meat here, but the buildings here.
Although the Yanhe trading area has more rules than the trading areas in other places, the long-distance team that has been here once will always look forward to the second time after leaving.
Seeing that the Yanhe trading area is lively day by day, Zheng Luo also has a sense of honor and pride in his heart.
Once, Zheng Luo wanted to call this place Yanhe City, because, on the other side of the sea, the cities of the slave owners were named like this, XX City and so on, but he didn't want to copy everything from the slave owners. , this is very confusing. It's fine to say he's hypocritical, but he just doesn't want everything to follow the slave owners. Even if it's the same thing, he wants to name it differently. This is how the tribesmen feel about the slave owners.
"It's called 'City'." Shao Xuan said, "It can be called 'Yanhe City'. 'City' is a place where business is concentrated. It will definitely be expanded in the future, and it won't stop there."
"Okay! Then another name here will be called 'Yanhe City'! Well, I will tell everyone at a meeting." Zheng Luo is very satisfied with this name.
Therefore, with the name of Yanhe Trading District, "Yanhe City", as the abbreviation of Yanhe Trading District, gradually spread with the traveling teams.
Shao Xuan stood on the highest floor in Yanhe Fort, from which he could see the entire Yanhe trading area, "It is still very small now, but in the future, it will definitely become very large."
…
A long-distance team was walking on a path. It was still a forest last year. However, after the establishment of the Yanhe trading area, a road was cut down by a few large tribes in the middle who went to dinner, because they had beasts. Car peers, great pomp.
Later, more and more long-distance teams passed by. There were many people walking, and the trees and grasses failed to grow. Some larger tribes used domesticated beasts to pull carts. In order to facilitate walking, there were even large stones on the road. None, much flatter than the rest of the woods.
The more people walking, the more famous this road is. Although it will be more convenient to travel here, but at the same time, the risk is also greater, because someone will be ambushed here to rob.
Those who are not strong and courageous will rarely go here, while the slightly larger tribes who think they have good strength will go this way without fear of robbery.
The team walking here at this time is considered a medium-sized tribe in the central region. It is not as confident as those famous big tribes, but it is still much stronger than most tribes.
The people in this team are tall and strong, with strong muscles on their open chests, and their skin is tanned from long-distance travel. their strength.
The temperature in this season is still high. At this time, it is noon, the sun is in the sky, and the simple linen clothes on the people who are on the road are soaked in sweat. The people in the team used their rough voices to discuss their experiences in the Yanhe trading area.
They came out from the Yanhe trading area not long ago, bought a lot of animal skins, and are heading back in the direction of their own tribe.
"Not to mention, the animal skins in the Yanhe trading area are really good!"
"Of course, the hide of a beast, can't you?"
"I heard that this kind of leather can be worn this season? Is it cool to wear it?"
"That's why it's expensive, and those with fur are better. It's a wise decision to go to the Yanhe trading area to change animal skins at this time. Haha, the dolls don't have to be frozen this winter!"
Cheerful and heroic laughter sounded in the woods, and he didn't seem to be worried about being heard at all. It seemed casual, but he used his peripheral vision to keep an eye on the surroundings from time to time. If anomalies are found, they will still treat them with caution.
Experienced far-travelers have long been used to robbery. When they came out of the Yanhe trading area, they slashed three waves of people who wanted their goods.
There were about 300 people in the team, and the wooden carts pulled in the middle were tied with large wooden boxes. These were the goods they had exchanged from the Yanhe trading area. Bone tools, etc. These are the reasons why they are willing to run all the way to the Yanhe trading area.
Where their tribe is located, the winter is relatively cold, and the animal skins of general beasts have a limited effect of keeping warm. These totem warriors are not bad, they can carry them even if they wear a thin leather, but the cubs of the tribe can't resist it and suffer from freezing cold. It is especially easy to get sick, regardless of the fact that adults in their tribe are strong, both male and female, but in childhood, their physiques are very weak. Every winter, children get sick and die due to the cold, and the witch is helpless. The test of the cubs.
Later, they found that the hides of fierce animals could play a better protective role, and they began to collect hides of fierce animals. It's just that on the mainland, there used to be only vicious beasts in the mountains and forests, not counting the grasslands. In other places, you rarely see vicious beasts, unless they were raised by the tribe themselves.
Where is the beast forest? Not to mention being far away from their tribe, even if they go there, the risk will be even greater, and the losses may be even heavier, and the leader of the tribe will not agree.
When the Yanjiao tribe was in the fierce beast mountain forest, they did not trade out a lot of animal skins. Their tribe was far away, and they didn't get much news. Until the establishment of the Yanhe trading area, more and more fierce animal skins flowed into the middle. , The reputation in the trading area is getting better and better, but the price of the transaction is very expensive. They heard that in the hot season, the animal skins in the Yanhe trading area will be cheaper, so they organized this expedition.
They are very satisfied with the goods, and they are discussing to go there again this time next year. Although they also want to go to the Yanhe Trading Area more frequently to exchange animal meat and the like, but one is that it is too far away and it takes a long time to travel, and the other is that There are many troubles, and more and more people take the shortcut of robbery, and there will be certain casualties.
While the team was talking, the people in front suddenly stopped, and the people behind the team stopped talking and became alert.
For a time, the forest was so quiet that only the chirping of birds could be heard.
The wind in front brought a tinge of blood, and the people behind the team looked forward and saw a person sitting on a big rock beside the road, 100 meters away from them.
There is only one person on the other side, but it feels quite dangerous to them. It looks bigger than the two of them. If they stand up, it will give people a lot of pressure.
Not only that, on the other party's blue-gray skin, totem patterns they had never seen before were all over the body, and the fists they held were bigger than their faces, with blood stains on them. At the feet of that person, there were about ten people lying in various places. These people were all dead, and none of them were injured by sharp weapons. It was probably just a big fist that killed these people.
Before they got close, they could feel the strong suffocating energy released by the other party. The man looked up, his sunken eyes showed a fierce look like a heavy axe, and he was about to slash the person in the next moment, which made a lot of people in the team. Everyone tensed their muscles.
Even the carrion birds that came over, because of the man, only rested on the tree next to them and did not dare to go down to peck.
The team didn't stop or change the route because of the person in front. They sent some people over to test it, but the other party was silent, and they didn't even bother to give them an extra look.
This attitude did not make them dissatisfied, but made them feel relieved. They have traveled for so many years and met a lot of people. Those who seem to be friendly and talk a lot are likely to be snakes in disguise , on the contrary, this kind of silent person with an aura of "I'm too lazy to care about you" makes them feel more at ease. Because, such a person, as long as he does not take the initiative to provoke, the other party will not do anything.
There are a lot of people in their team, and they are confident of winning against such a person, but if they really fight, there will definitely be unnecessary casualties. Avoid it if you can.
And those who died on the ground, from their experience, were more like ambushing and robbery.
Shit, bullying the soft and fearing the hard is the survival criterion, you don't know who can move and who can't, and you still learn from others to come out to rob? It's literally dead, and deserves to be destroyed.
The leader of the team retracted his gaze and signaled everyone to continue on their way. They were still guarding against that person, but until their own team completely walked past and walked far away, the other party didn't have any extra eyes, just the people behind the team turned their heads. When looking at it, the man smashed the head of the corpse lying beside his feet with one foot.
Teams are leaving faster.
When the team completely disappeared from sight and could not even hear a single sound, the original murderous look in his eyes looked like someone who was about to start a massacre in the next moment. The axe, suddenly only one handle remained, was still cork.
The man hurriedly stood up from the stone, hunched his back and looked at the bushes not far away, his eyes were respectful and ingratiating, "Master, they're all gone!"
Following the sound of 妦妦, a person came out from behind the bushes. The other party was dressed in gray cloth. He did not look strong. He was similar to ordinary people. Compared to the big man next to him, he is like a child standing next to an adult.
After walking out of the woods, the man in the gray cloth slightly bent his four fingers, and moved his thumb to the inside of the knuckles of the remaining four fingers, and then said, "I'll be there in five days."
When he lifted his foot and walked out, he glanced at the people on the ground and stopped looking at them. If he was the only one who came here this time, he would have been hacked to death long ago, but who would let him bring the slaves
There is an old saying among the nobles that if you beat your master, you have to look at the dog first!
You can't even beat the "dog", but you still want to beat the master
