When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 34 Ji’s surname Shaodian

Akaishi Frog looked at the thousand shell coins in his hand, and felt unsatisfactory for a moment: "We have to find a way to get more shell coins from them!"

"This is simple, we can exchange it with livestock. After all, Xin has to take away so much forage, and it needs to be processed and transported separately, which takes a lot of time!

At this time, if you give them more livestock, they will definitely agree, and the price will definitely be easy to negotiate. "

"Well, this is very good." After hearing this, Akaishi Frog felt that he had a lot to do, and looked at Akaishi Qu who spoke with satisfaction, "You will be the hunting captain later!"

"Yes!"

Chief Akaishi frowned slightly: "I still feel something is wrong. If the livestock is released in large numbers, what will we do this winter?"

"With a little forage, we can get so many shell coins! When the northern tribes go south this winter, we can get more furs and livestock." Akaishi Frog held the shell coins, "This is what Dayi merchants brought from the East China Sea. The shellfish you fish out must be polished very finely! No matter north or south, they are all hard goods, so save more and you will definitely make a profit!"

"But... usually a cow can be exchanged for sixty shell coins. Today's transaction with Xin's is almost ten shell coins. He still has two thousand shell coins in his hand. We can't eat so much."

Chief Akaishi was a little nervous, he was worried about hitting his hand.

"I'll go and talk, don't worry. I'm sure to make a profit without losing anything!" Akaishi Frog was so proud of his ambition. How could a boy like Xinqu, who didn't even have a full head of hair, be his opponent?
I can't help but fool him!

……

Xinqu didn't know that his image of being taken advantage of was completely attached to him. He was drawing maps and contour lines by the bonfire.

It’s been a habit for the past six months.

Everywhere he went, he would use the knowledge of surveying and mapping introduced by watching video bloggers to simply fill in a grid and draw everything he could see.

In addition, I have been fond of reading maps since I was a child.

All these factors combined led him to spend half a year speculating that the Xin family was located in Changping.

After all, the Yanshan Mountains and Taihang Mountains have not changed much over thousands of years.

After drawing the basic map, Xinqu took advantage of the situation to fill in the red stone tribe stronghold: "This place should be very close to the Shouyun Mine. In other words, there are iron mines nearby."

Xin Qu tapped the wooden slip with his fingers, his eyes sharp.

If you want to protect yourself, steel is essential.

Although there are iron ore deposits near Changping, there are too few shallow deposits.The most important thing is that they are all in a swamp and have not dried up yet, so there is no way to collect them.

If you want to mine it, you have to work slowly.

It's not as good as the one in Miyun. It's right in the mountains. I don't know if it's shallow or underground and whether it can be mined manually.

In short, after surviving this winter, we will come back to find a solution next spring.

"Qu... aren't you sleeping yet?" Xingrendong sat next to Xinqu. Not far away, Xingrenchun was still "sullen" and seemed to be incompatible with him.

"Well, we're almost done. Have you communicated clearly? When will we start harvesting?"

"Now? Wait until it turns yellow? It should be soon." Xingrendong thought for a moment and said.

"Start harvesting the mature grasses first, let them split them for us, and then shake off the wheat ears individually and dry them in the sun."

"Will this... make them wary?"

"No. For the Akaishi tribe, these seeds can only satisfy their hunger, but these things are not delicious. They have not experienced complete domestication, resulting in a low efficiency of seed production, not even as good as the millet they grow.

So, they don’t think we know how to sow seeds and expand production.

Therefore, we are not too defensive about us. We just think that like them, we will sow the grass when spring comes, and then exchange it for high-quality forage for the livestock to eat. "

"I generally understand." Xingrendong said thoughtfully. In fact, Xinqu took advantage of the self-righteousness of some "smart people".

Changing crops is not a good thing for a farming tribe, because no one can tell whether changing crops will lead to a harvest failure.

It takes several generations to gain experience in farming. Therefore, no farming tribe will change staple food crops casually. If something goes wrong, many people will starve to death.

So there is only one thing that you should be concerned about tomorrow, and that is to see how the other party will try to steal the coins from you.

"Tomorrow I will do my job as a supervisor, and you guys will be responsible for bundling. Some weeds also need to be individually sorted and bundled separately."

"it is good."

The two of them finalized their decision, and as the night got darker, Xinqu returned to the house prepared for him by the Chishi tribe. As soon as he opened the door and entered, he smelled the fragrance of flowers.

In the blurry space, two women could be seen lying on the bed on the left and right. One seemed to be asleep. The other heard the sound of Xin Qu pushing the door open and quickly sat up: "You...you We’re back. The Red Rock Tribe asked us to serve you.”

Xin Qu was startled by the unfamiliar dialect, and then asked in a similar dialect: "Are you Zhu Ji of Shanxi? Or Zhu Jiang?"

The woman seemed a little excited when she heard the familiar language, but then she quickly stood up and walked over: "I am a woman from the Shaodian clan."

The faint light cast by the bonfire outside the house reflected the plump figure of the woman. She was naked. Many small scars could be seen on her arms and thighs. It appeared that the grass had been cut during long periods of grazing, and the old and new were superimposed.

Apparently, it had been robbed and sold to the Red Rock Tribe for some time.

Shaodianshi.

Xinqu was a little surprised that it was Zhu Ji's Fang Guo: "How long have you been here?"

"Almost a year." The woman clenched her fists, swallowed when she wanted to speak, and came forward to help Xin Qu take off his belt.

"Ahem, we have the Xin family and the Ji family, so...we are not suitable." Xin Qu set the limit of not marrying the same surname. In this era, surnames are considered a status quo.

There are also different surnames under the same surname.

For example, the Ji surname: Xuanyuan, Shaodian, Zhuanxu, Gaoxin, etc. This is the inertia of matrilineal clans. It was not until the surnames of Qin and Han Dynasties merged that they began to disintegrate slightly.

And there is indeed a mother clan with the surname Ji in the Xin clan, so without knowing the distance of the blood relationship, if the same surname simply does not carry out genetic exchange, [-]% of the problem can be solved.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded and walked to the bed next to her: "Then let me have a rest tonight, okay?"

"Okay." Xinqu did not refuse.

The reason is simple. Since this woman was arranged to serve him, and now she is kicked out, it will disgrace the tribe master. She will definitely not survive, and may even be killed.

Turning around and closing the door, he got into the vacated bed alone. Xin Qu's eyes softened and he asked, "Were you defeated or were you sold here?"

The woman did not hide anything and said: "Being sold..."
