Before Qiao and En could see clearly, they were blocked by a tall body.
Taking a closer look, it was Hei Lie's figure full of evil spirits.
The two of them had already received the news of Black Hunter and Yang Yi's marriage, and it was not that there was no same-sex relationship in the Western Continent, but it was taboo and unwelcome.
Most of the people are secretive and secretive, so unlike the people from the Eastern Continent, they can still openly combine and show their possessiveness so openly.
A hand stretched out from Hei Lie, and moved slightly. Although Hei Lie was unhappy, he also moved slightly to the side.
Yang Yi's smiling face was once again shown in front of Qiao Heen.
The two learned their lesson this time, instead of staring at Yang Yi all the time, they calmed down and said hello before cutting straight to the point:
"My lord envoy, what are you wearing? It's so beautiful! Is this the fabric you brought back from God's Domain?"
Yang Yi wore a long-distance running tunic made of silk, and a wolf fur cape on his shoulders. He looked imposing and ethereal like a god.
The silk is like water, smooth with a fascinating light, and it looks very light and fascinating.
As soon as Joe and En saw it, they could be sure what kind of frenzy such an item would cause in the Western Continent.
No matter what the cost, they must get them!
"This is the latest cloth made by our tribe, it's called silk."
"Respected Lord Angel, please sell it to us! We are the best partners of the Xinghuo Tribe, you can't forget us."
Joe's eyes lit up, and his determination to get it became more determined.
They were right to arrive early, and the Starfire Tribe always surprises everyone.
Not only those delicate top nobles, people like him also want to have it very much.
If he could wear the clothes he made at the ball, Jo was sure that he would be surrounded by many ladies who would give everything for such a beautiful cloth.
Yang Yi was in a dilemma: "It's not easy to make it. It's not animal fur or planted cotton and linen. It's very difficult to get. Now the whole tribe, only I have the right to wear it."
Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it is not far from the truth.
Silk is not easy to come by, and it is the first time they have encountered it, so it took a lot of effort to weave it into cloth.
Especially when the time is so tight, if the machine had not been built before the preparation for raising silkworms, and the most dexterous people had been trained, it would be impossible to take it out now.
But even so, the output is still very low.
Silk is very delicate, and it is a luxury that cannot be popularized without the Starfire tribe deliberately raising the price.
In fact, Yang Yi was a bit reluctant to wear it, but it was special that he was an envoy of God, and he had to advertise, so he had several suits made for him.
Others, whether it is Black Hunter or Jiao, no matter how high their status is, they are not eligible for it.
The first batch that can be sold is indeed very small. They did not sacrifice quality for quantity, and decided to sell silk as a high-end product from the very beginning.
Therefore, the production process is very particular. Although there are no special patterns, it is just a very simple cloth, but the handwork is very meticulous.
People with good handwork but rough hands are not allowed to work here, for fear of snags.
Therefore, those who can weave with silk are young and beautiful girls who usually pay attention to hand care. They are all very young, otherwise their hands will be very rough.
But even so, these girls' hands are still easy to snag, and their speed is very slow.
Now each of these female workers usually has to take care of and maintain their hands, and they are not allowed to do heavy work.
Although it seems a bit exaggerated, in order to keep improving and be worthy of its price, Yang Yi doesn't think it's inappropriate to be so particular about it, and the results have proved this point.
Logistics here is inconvenient, and the Western Continent caravan prefers to bring back light and profitable items. Silk is not as easy to damage as porcelain, so it will definitely attract their attention.
This was confirmed by the civilization of the Silk Road. When the silk was produced, Jinhuan immediately killed him when he heard the news.
As soon as she saw the beautiful silk, even if it was not dyed, she was already deeply fascinated. No matter what attitude the Xinghuo Tribe had, they immediately demanded to sell it to her, which was very domineering.
Jin Huan usually doesn't come out of the tribe very often, and every time he is attracted by the new gadgets of the Starfire tribe.
For her impatience, waiting an extra minute felt uncomfortable.
Qiao and En are not surprised by this. The silk is very delicate at first glance, and it is not so easy to make.
Because of this, they want it all the more!
"My lord envoy, as long as you are willing, we are willing to pay any price." En said.
Joe: "Please take into account our many friendly transactions, and exchange with us! You and your tribe will be able to weave more beautiful silk soon."
Yang Yi frowned slightly, and cast his eyes on Hei Lie.
"There are not many stocks now, and there are still many people robbing them. You have a friendly relationship with us, so I suggest that you can wait until the next transaction. In that case, the price will not be so outrageous."
Hei Lie looked like I was thinking of you, and spoke very sincerely.
But Qiao and En can't wait at all, the less they get from the Western Continent now, the better the price they can sell!
If you wait until the next trade fair, you may not be able to earn much if the quantity is large and the price is low.
It is very important to take the lead. They lost the opportunity with the previous essential oils. It is not an exaggeration to know that these essential oils and pure dews have caused shocks.
Now at the noble ball, if anyone does not smell the fragrance of essential oils, then he will definitely be ridiculed and ridiculed.
This is a symbol of status and fashion. People who cannot have it mean that their status is very low, so there is no channel to own them.
So Qiao and En made up their minds to get this fascinating silk no matter what this time.
"As always, brave chief, thank you very much for thinking about us, but I have been deeply attracted by it, if I can't have it, I will definitely fall in lovesickness."
Joe looked heartbroken, as if he had lost something so precious.
The corners of Yang Yi's mouth twitched, it's really not easy to do business, everyone is like a showman.
"Since this is the case, we can't go against your wishes. We can only respect your choice. But the quantity is indeed small, and the price is very expensive. You should think about it."
Black Hunter reported the specific transaction amount, which can be said to be a sky-high price, much more expensive than the most exquisite porcelain, and it also comes with copper.
Joe and En gasped, but still accepted it very readily.
Black Hunter is different from other merchants. He said that one is one. If you pretend that you don’t buy it, he won’t force it, and he will just take it away.
The exchange of copper for goods has been reluctant from the beginning, but now it has been acquiesced that as long as you want to exchange precious items of the Spark tribe, copper is the threshold trading item.
They don't want to, and there must be other caravans who are willing.
In the past, the West Continent caravans were able to agree because the items were precious but not unique.
Raising the price here and closing it there can better control the market.
But now only the Xinghuo tribe has one, they don't have the advantage, and there is a conflict of interest among them.
In addition, the Xinghuo tribe is not threatened at all and knows how to do business very well, so there will be no consensus within the Western Continent caravan.
Qiao and En got the silk. Although they haven't started a formal transaction, it is certain that they will make a very large profit from this transaction.
There are not as many benefits as silk can bring in other things, not only money, but also reputation and status.
Since the deal with the Spark Tribe, Joe and En have also made a name for themselves in the Western Continent.
They are the ones invited to every noble ball. Many people want to make friends with them in order to exchange for more precious and novelty goods brought by the Eastern Continent.
The two came to the best room in the guest house with happy faces and booked the best service.
"Oh Fa, nice to see you again."
Joe warmly greeted the Starfire guide who entertained them, who had sent them to serve them every time they came before.
This is one thing that makes Joe and Eun feel very comfortable, and it says that Starfire Tribe takes them very seriously and remembers all their likes and dislikes.
It is always more comfortable to deal with people you know well. In particular, Fadu remembers their preferences and can recommend the most suitable items for them.
"I'm glad to be here again. Our tribe has a lot of good things during this time, and you will definitely like it."
Joe suddenly became interested: "What is it?"
"We have made a new food, it tastes very good, do you want to try it?"
Receiving the grace of silk, he waved his hand very generously:
"Bring me whatever is delicious. The food of your Starfire Tribe is one of the things I miss the most. Ever since I tasted delicious food here, even the food made by the city lord's best cook seems ordinary to me. .”
"Then I'll serve you two bowls of hot and sour noodles first, and then serve them with sandwiches. You must be starving after walking such a long distance. These things are delicious and served quickly."
Joe: "Hot and sour powder? I think it's very interesting just hearing the name."
When the so-called hot and sour noodles came to the table, both Qiao and En couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
The hot and sour smell made them take a deep breath. The hot and sour powder looks red, which is too tempting for people who love spicy food!
Every time they come over, they will bring back a lot of peppers.
Now they also grow peppers on the farm, but they just can't make the taste of the Starfire Tribe.
Yang Yi didn't deliberately prevent everyone from taking those seeds away. Although he wouldn't give them away or sell them publicly, he wouldn't deliberately strictly control them either.
But some practices and formulas are kept secret.
The trade fair occupies their venue, and they must always get a certain amount of income.
Besides, Yang Yi's current fate is tied to the Xinghuo Tribe, so he must develop himself first, and now is not the time to be generous.
Things like chili make everyone addicted to eating and become inseparable.
Then they can sell processed products better, which is more profitable than selling raw materials directly.
Without saying a word, Qiao and En skillfully picked up the chopsticks and began to eat the crystal clear strips inside.
The hot and sour taste floods into the mouth instantly, and the nose enjoys it even more.
Joe was amazed at the first bite: "It's sour, spicy, and fragrant. The taste is amazing! It's so delicious. It's so comfortable to eat these in this weather, so it still has this sour taste!"
En didn't speak, and the speed in his hand showed his thoughts at this time very well.
He laughed and said, "You can serve these cakes, and the taste will be even better."
Joe grabbed a cake with the other hand, took a bite hard and then fed a mouthful of rice noodles, his mouth was swollen and he didn't feel like he was choking.
The two wolfed down a large bowl of hot and sour noodles and several meat pies, and patted their stomachs with satisfaction.
"It's so delicious. Sure enough, you can only find delicious food in your Xinghuo tribe." Qiao did not hesitate to praise, but also thought so sincerely.
Enhuo was very curious: "What is that thing called 'powder' inside?"
"This is made of our processed sweet potatoes. It tastes very good, and it can be stored for a long time, and it is very convenient to carry it when you go out. Usually, you only need to put it in the broth, and it will be very delicious."
"What? Made of sweet potatoes?!" Joe exclaimed in disbelief. He couldn't imagine that what he ate just now could be connected with sweet potatoes.
Fa smiled and nodded: "Yes, it took a lot of hard work to make it. Although it is troublesome, the taste is much more comfortable than eating sweet potatoes directly, and you won't feel bloated after eating."
Sweet potatoes are a good food for hunger, and they taste very fragrant when roasted. You can smell the smell from a distance, but you always feel heartburn if you eat too much.
Among all the staple foods at present, the yield of sweet potatoes is the largest, and it is not like potatoes that can be used for cooking.
It is usually eaten roasted, and it is also used most as a reserve grain.
Although it is not enough to be afraid of eating, and the Xinghuo people who have not really achieved food and clothing are not so squeamish, but they still feel a bit single.
Now it has been made into sweet potato flour, making it more popular with everyone.
Even if you don’t have to make such a strong taste, or other complicated methods, it is very delicious and satisfying if you usually put it in broth, and it is not easy to fart.
The Green Python Tribe didn't have much interest in sweet potatoes before. After all, they had a lot of ground fruits and exchanged some, just to taste the taste.
But since it was made into sweet potato flour, it still looks so good. Although it is a bit expensive, I still bought a lot.
"Never mind, let's buy it!" En was already very familiar with the Xinghuo tribe's routine.
Joe was curious: "What is the sour taste inside? This sour taste is very special, not like the sour taste in fruit."
"This is the vinegar we brewed. This bowl of rice noodles is more expensive because of the seasoning. That's why noble people like you are willing to eat like this. We don't usually eat like this. Only during celebrations do we have this opportunity."
Joe and En were very happy to be flattered, while En was curious: "Everyone can eat?"
"Of course." Fa was very proud and proud.
This kind of treatment is only available in the Xinghuo tribe. Whether it is other tribes or the Western Continent, it is impossible to be so fair.
The Angel wants everyone in the tribe to live a good life, not some people.
Fa is just an ordinary person, not as brave as a warrior, and the speed of collecting is not fast, and life in the tribe was not good in the past.
But since entering the Xinghuo Tribe, he has found his specialty and is doing a job that suits him. Compared with the past, his life is really different.
Not only him, but other people who were considered trash before have found something suitable for them in the Spark Tribe, proving to everyone that they are not trash and can create value.
The Xinghuo tribe made them understand that everyone is born with their own uses, and they just need to find their own shining points.
The most important thing is to have the opportunity to play.
Only the Starfire Tribe in the entire Eastern Continent can provide such an opportunity to make them undergo great changes.
They are very grateful for such a life, and they are full of enthusiasm to do their own things well.
"You angels are really kind." Joe sighed. He had always suspected that that special man was not sent by God, but every time he saw what he did, he was very suspicious.
If it was him, he wouldn't have to work so hard to take care of everyone.
The Xinghuo Tribe obviously possessed so many rare things and gained a lot of wealth in exchange, but whether they were envoys or chiefs, their lives were far less luxurious than their nobles.
In contrast, it can be said to be very simple.
Especially since they are not without taste, people who don't know what a treasure is, it is amazing that they are completely immune to temptation.
"Of course our envoy is the kindest person!" Fa said proudly, "But the envoy said that it's not because he is kind, but because if he wants to develop in the long run, he must let everyone play their best role. Exploitation, it doesn't do that."
"Exploitation?"
"Yes, exploitation means squeezing and oppressing others in order to obtain the greatest benefit."
The way Qiao and En looked at Fa changed. How could a guide like Lian Fa say such a thing
They have known Fa for a while, and they clearly feel that every time they meet, he will undergo new changes.
This change is hard to describe in words, but it is clear that he has become different.
Seeing Qiao and En's expressions of amazement, Fa Fa smiled and explained to them:
"The envoy said that the development of the tribe is not enough to rely on force alone, it also needs to have a smart mind.
The reason why I know these things is because I went to school. I am not good at learning, but I am more talented in language. "
Joe and En thought of another staggering thing about the Xinghuo tribe, that is, universal education for all.
There are also schools in the Western Continent, but only nobles can enter to study.
Not only does it require a lot of money, but it also requires a certain status and identity, and not everyone is qualified.
Everyone here has to learn, and if they don't learn, they will be taught a lesson. When they first talked about the situation here in the Western Continent, no one believed it.
Now that there are more caravans coming, no one is willing to believe that there is such a magical tribe in the Eastern Continent, which they thought was a wild place.
Sadly, more people are still arrogant to think that this is not true.
After all, this is something that even the Western Continent cannot do, even if they admire things from the Eastern Continent so much.
Education is a very expensive thing, not to mention it involves a lot of interests, they can't imagine any ruler who would be so stupid.
How difficult it is to manage a territory full of smart people.
Qiao and En looked at each other. They knew very well what education would bring, and they were even more convinced of their previous judgments.
The Starfire tribe is definitely a tribe they cannot provoke, this tribe is much stronger than they imagined.
The day of the trade fair is approaching, and more and more teams are coming to the Starfire Tribe, even more than previously predicted.
"More than two hundred tribes?"
Yang Yi was extremely surprised, and this number was too astonishing.
He doesn't know much about the specific situation of the primitive society on Earth, but he thinks there shouldn't be such a large-scale transaction between tribes.
Most tribes are still in a self-sufficient state and do not communicate with the outside world so frequently.
But in this place, it appeared.
Yang Yi thinks this is probably the confidence that the Great God of Traveling allowed him to achieve the problem of food and clothing for a million people, otherwise, according to the development process of the earth, this goal would be too difficult to achieve.
"Yes, more than half of them have come now, and some have already arrived near the Black Forest. The number far exceeds our expectation, and everyone wants to stay in the guest house. It is full now, do we need to vacate the dormitory?" Sakura asked .
Yang Yi directly rejected the proposal: "There is no need to accommodate them."
Sakura thought for a while and asked, "Then what if the tribe members are willing?"
"Has such a phenomenon happened?"
"There have been people from other tribes asking people in our tribe, but no one dared to do so."
Yang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Is everyone excited?"
"The reward is really tempting." Sakura smiled embarrassedly, because she was also tempted, "But we all know that the tribe has rules, and absolutely no one does this in private!"
"If they want, let them do so, but only if everyone in the room agrees, and you can't force it. Otherwise, they can't move in. There are many people in the tribe who don't have a house yet!"
Sakura's eyes lit up: "Yes!"
"Also, if you get paid, you have to be responsible. You must ensure that the people living in their house will not cause anything, otherwise you will be punished for lax review."
Sakura suddenly calmed down a lot, and her mind cleared up.
"Not only that-"
Sakura's eyes widened, there's more! Sure enough, business is not doing well.
"I lost my house and tried to solve it by myself. The tribe will not make arrangements, and I have to pay half of the fee to the tribe. Their houses belong to the tribe, and they are just users, not owners. They can be used, but once they are used for profit You have to pay a certain fee, so let’s think of it as a pre-war for taxation.”
"Taxes?" Sakura couldn't understand this unfamiliar vocabulary.
There is no tax statement in the Eastern Continent, and Yang Yi said it in Chinese.
Now the language of the Xinghuo tribe is often mixed with Huaxia language. This is not Yang Yi's intention, but some vocabulary is not here, so he directly uses Huaxia language to top it, which belongs to foreign vocabulary here.
Yang Yi picked up a pen and wrote down these two words, and Ying immediately felt familiar when he saw them.
"I've seen that word in a book!"
"We will implement this system in the future, although we don't know when, you can read the book and study first."
With the increase of the number of people and the gradual enrichment and scale of industries, private ownership is unavoidable.
This is also an inevitable process of history. It doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, it just depends on how it is used and guided.
Many tribes have actually produced private ownership, which is a major trend.
Sakura nodded very seriously: "I will definitely study it carefully!"
Yang Yi tapped the notebook on the table unconsciously with a pen, his eyes fixed on one place.
It is estimated that some changes will be made in the tribe in the near future.
