Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 697
"Sister Zhu Rong, who is this celestial-looking girl? Why haven't I seen it when I came here last year?" Mrs. Houtu looked at Ah Qing with a smile and asked Mrs. Zhu Rong.

Mrs. Zhu Rong smiled and said, "This is the wife of the chief elder of our Zhu Rong tribe. Her name is Ah Qing. She has only been in the tribe for more than half a year. Of course, I have never seen my sister."

"Great elder?" Mrs. Houtu was very surprised. Every tribe has elders, and they are usually titles given to those who are elderly, highly respected, or who have made outstanding contributions to the tribe.

But the elders in the tribe actually have no practical significance. They are mainly a kind of honor. Those who get the title of elder will be respected by the people, unlike the elders in some sects or forces, who hold real power.

Therefore, the elders in the tribe are the elders, and there is no such thing as a great elder, and the great elder is usually the leader of the sect or force with the elders, who holds great authority, and some are second only to the leader. Even the leader has to salute three points.

As soon as Luo Changfeng was mentioned, Mrs. Zhu Rong couldn't help but show some admiration and gratitude on her face, "The Great Elder was invited back to Zhu Rong's tribe more than half a year ago. He has the talents of the world and the unpredictable."

"He improved the method of making salt and brought us many delicious and high-yielding grain seeds. In less than a year since he came here, the Zhurong tribe has undergone earth-shaking changes."

"Oh?" Madame Houtu's heart skipped a beat. When she came, she really felt that the Zhurong tribe was different from the past. The tribe seemed to be much stronger, and their energy and spirit were much better than before. The whole tribe became full of vigor.

Iron tools can be seen everywhere in the tribe, including sickles, iron axes, and iron hoes. Mrs. Zhu Rong and the four maids are equipped with exquisite iron swords. Even many big tribes can't reach this level!

And the salt of the Zhurong tribe has not only become more refined, but also has a more pure taste, and there are foods they have never seen before, all of which have changed in just one year... no, more than half a year.

She didn't quite understand at first that Mrs. Zhu Rong has been the leader of the tribe for more than 20 years. If she had such ability, the tribe should have changed a long time ago.

But in the past twenty years, there has been no change in the Zhu Rong tribe. In just one year, the tribe has changed a lot. Is it all due to the great elder?
"My sister is really lucky to have such an expert to help me. Why don't you see the Elder Elder?" Mrs. Hou Tu asked curiously. It stands to reason that the Elder Elder should be present in this situation!

Mrs. Zhu Rong said: "Because my sister and you come at different times every year, sometimes a few days earlier, sometimes a few days later, we don't know when you will come, so the Great Elder doesn't know that you will come today."

After speaking, he looked at Ah Qing and asked, "Sister, do you know where the real person is at this moment?"

Ah Qing turned her head to look outside the door, and said with a smile, "He's here."

As soon as everyone heard this, they stood up and looked towards the door. Sure enough, Luo Changfeng walked in from the door after a few breaths, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "I'm sorry for being late, everyone."

"Great Elder." The four maids bowed to salute one after another. Luo Changfeng nodded to them, then looked at Mrs. Houtu and Jiang Kui.

Mrs. Zhu Rong introduced: "Really, these two are the leaders of the Houtu tribe. This is Mrs. Houtu, and this is her husband Jiang Kui."

"Sister Houtu, this is our Great Elder, Master Feng Xu, a qi refiner in Kuaiji Mountain."

It turned out to be a Qi refiner, no wonder he has such abilities, Mrs. Hou Tu and Jiang Kui hurriedly saluted Luo Changfeng, "I've seen a real person."

Luo Changfeng shook his head and said, "You are welcome, I wish the Rong tribe and the Houtu tribe have been on good terms for generations, and they are all our own people. Please sit down."

After greeting each other, Luo Changfeng sat in the seat given by Ah Qing, and Ah Qing sat beside him.

Luo Changfeng smiled at Mrs. Houtu and said, "The weather is beautiful this year, and the weather is considered good. The harvest of the Houtu tribe is not bad, right?"

Mrs. Houtu smiled and said: "The harvest is not bad, but compared with the Zhurong tribe, it is not worth mentioning. I have to ask sister Zhurong and the real person to take care of me and give us more salt."

Luo Changfeng said: "Salt is a trivial matter. After Pindao heard about it, the native tribes are very good at farming and they are the best farmers. Pindao has a proposal and wants to discuss it with his wife."

Madam Houtu said, "Please tell me, real person."

Luo Changfeng said: "When Pindao traveled all over the world, he got a lot of high-yielding grain seeds overseas. The Zhurong tribe was short of manpower, and the surrounding mountains were high and dense, so it was difficult to reclaim the land. Although the grain produced was enough to supply the tribe, But there's nothing left to spare."

"The population is the key to the development and growth of the tribe. As the population increases, the demand for food will naturally increase. Therefore, we have discussed that we hope to cooperate with the Houtu tribe. The Zhurong tribe will provide food seeds and teach you how to plant them. Even Provide iron farm implements."

"What you need to do is to reclaim a lot of land and plant food with all your strength. After the harvest, [-]% of the food you get will be distributed to the Zhurong tribe, and the Zhurong tribe will provide sufficient salt for the Houtu tribe. What do you want?"

Mrs. Hou Tu couldn't sit still after hearing Luo Changfeng's words, she stood up abruptly, and said excitedly: "The real man is serious?"

Luo Changfeng and Mrs. Zhu Rong looked at each other with a smile, and said, "Of course it is true. The Zhurong tribe and the Houtu tribe have supported each other for not a year or two. Now that we have the opportunity to grow and develop, we will never forget our old friends."

Mrs. Houtu and Jiang Kui were overjoyed. Jiang Kui finally spoke the first sentence. He clasped his fists deeply and said in a low voice, "My wife and I represent the tribes of the three thousand descendants. Thank you, Great Elder."

"Please hurry up, my brother, why do you have to do this?"

Luo Changfeng had discussed with Mrs. Zhu Rong about the issue of food before. Those high-yield crops were indeed enough to supply the whole clan, but as Luo Changfeng said, the labor force in the tribe was insufficient, and a large number of people were assigned to the salt field to grow food. There are fewer people.

If the tribe's population increases, the food shortage will increase. Although the Houtu tribe has a surplus of food every year, there is not much left. Even if the Zhurong tribe takes out more salt, it will not be able to exchange for more food.

And if we cooperate with the Houtu tribe in this way, the problem will be basically solved. The people of the Houtu tribe are good at farming. All the tribesmen are tall and powerful, with superior physical strength. The range of land that can be managed by one person can surpass Zhurong. There are four or five people in the tribe.

Coupled with the high-yield crops with a yield of several thousand catties per mu, their food output will be amazing, and the Zhurong tribe can make salt with peace of mind. It is enough for the tribe to grow enough food for themselves, and the food reserves can completely rely on the share of the Houtu tribe. .

Mrs. Hou Tu also understood these principles. Food is the foundation of survival. Without food, people cannot live, but without salt, people will become weak and even short-lived. Therefore, salt and food are equally important.

The two tribes cooperate in this way, each creates the greatest output in its own field of expertise, and then supplies each other, which can be said to be a good thing for both parties to benefit from cooperation.

And in this way, the relationship between the two tribes will become closer, and they can advance and retreat together when encountering any problems. In this land of hundreds of tribes, the more friends there are, the more stable they can stand.

After making a cooperation plan, Luo Changfeng and the others took the Houtu couple out of the big house and headed for the granary.
