Chapter 113 Buying Salt
In Xunshou City, in a spacious stone house, rows of stone tables are orderly.

"Great chief, I'm done with the investigation. The reason why the surnamed people assembled the beast team in our north is that a group of giant beast dragons appeared there. They didn't intend to launch an attack on our surnamed alliance. This is what the surnamed great chief surnamed told you. bone book."

"It turns out that's the case. I find it strange. We have no disputes with the surname alliance. How could they suddenly attack us?"

"Great Chief, I've also checked, and the Udang tribe didn't get that turtle shell."

"Okay, next"

The chief and a group of patrolling guards discussed major alliance affairs here. They were the most powerful and powerful people in the alliance. Most of the things they talked about were major issues related to other alliances, and they seldom talked about small tribes in the alliance.

On each stone table is a bamboo book lined with bamboo, which is a bamboo book tied together with linen strips. Each piece of bamboo is engraved with ancient oracle bone inscriptions. The bamboo book was used by them. To record the material of the event.

In addition to the bamboo book, there are several shoulder bones on the stone table. The shoulder bones are very hard and durable, and they are very suitable for recording some important matters.

A small golden blade the size of a thumb is used for engraving. This small golden blade is called a gold tool. It is a kind of metal. It is very hard and very precious. Li Yan thinks it should be bronze. Demu also has a bronze dagger, but she doesn't know the origin of her bronze dagger.

Obviously, the Yan Tribal Alliance has already mastered the bronze smelting technology. Bronze has a low melting point, which is similar to the temperature of firing pottery, or their copper smelting technology is in its infancy, so metal tools are very rare.

Facing the oracle bone inscriptions that looked like symbols, Li Yan's head grew bigger. He knew only a hundred oracle bone inscriptions from the Jiang tribe. The more developed Yi tribe had more and more complicated oracle bone inscriptions.

At noon, the "military meeting" ended, and Li Yan didn't receive any tasks.

In fact, he returned to the Yi Tribe this time to buy some salt and weapons, but he just happened to pass by Xunshou City, and was pulled in by Wu Luo, saying that he wanted to let Li Yan get acquainted with the operation of the alliance.

After walking out of Xunshou City, Yang Yan and others also greeted them, so they continued to buy supplies.

Here in the Yi tribe, there are exclusive stone cities for the five major clans. These small stone cities are where they store and sell supplies. All clans in the alliance can go to their stone cities to buy various supplies.

Among them, the Wuxian clan is a big clan that controls the salt, and this tribe can make money lying down.

Li Yan can also make salt, but he suffers from lack of raw materials. The saltwater lake he discovered on Huxin Island before was also due to many reasons such as distance (twenty days’ journey) and safety, so he gave up the idea of ​​drying salt there. Honestly buy salt from this Wuxian tribe.

There are many grass-roofed sheds in the stone city of the Wuxian people, and baskets of white salt are placed under the sheds.

In fact, these salts look white from a distance, but when you look closely, these salts are as big as pebbles, and they are not pure. The surface is blue-gray and blue-gray, and there are even silt and dead grass leaves mixed in. The quality is very high. Difference.

When they came to one of the sheds, the Wuxian people immediately greeted Li Yan warmly when they saw the people behind Li Yan carrying bulging animal skin bags.

"Our salt is worth a shell." A Wuxian man in a brown cloth held a measure with both hands and said to Li Yan.

"Can I weigh it?" Li Yan opened an animal skin bag, revealing strings of shell coins.

"Yes, of course!" The brown-clothed man's eyes lit up.

"Yangyan, go and see how many catties of salt are in a basket."

"Yes"

Yang Yan and his tribe brought a handful of large wooden scales, and everyone worked together to weigh five baskets of salt.

"Patriarch, a basket is about fifty catties."

"it is good."

Li Yan asked the man in brown again: "How much is a basket of salt?"

"One basket costs [-] Bei coins." The man in brown clothes said excitedly.

"Then I want fifty baskets of salt." Li Yan said.

"Fifty baskets? Well, it's [-] shellfish coins."

"I bought so much, how about two thousand shell coins?"

"Two thousand shells? No, how about this, just give me two thousand three hundred shells."

"Two thousand Bei coins, you can use animal blood to replace the salt."

"No! At least [-] Bei coins." The brown-clothed man was not afraid that Li Yan would not buy it. Anyway, in the entire alliance, the Wuxian clan was the only tribe that could sell so much salt at once.

"Okay, just [-] Bei coins, a total of [-] baskets!" The other party controlled the salt and was willing to give up the price, so Li Yan stopped bargaining.

Li Yan ordered everyone to move the salt to the beast team outside the city. It would be no problem to put [-] catties of salt on five giant beasts.

For things like salt that have no expiration date, it is very good to buy more and store it as a strategic material. With enough salt, Li Yan can do more things.

After spending [-] Bei coins, there are still [-] Bei coins left.

After the salt is loaded.

Yang Yan asked again: "Patriarch, where are you going now?"

"Go buy some weapons and equipment." Li Yan said, "Let's go!"

Although the Jiang tribe has iron weapons, the hardness and performance of iron knives and iron spears are comparable to first-class witch weapons, or even superior, but most of the iron equipment can only be used for melee combat. Many long-range weapons, such as slingshots and witch bows Equipment is a witch weapon.

To make a witchcraft, one must use a witch stone. As an important resource, Li Yan cannot obtain or make a witch stone.

The witch weapon is one of the main forces of human combat in this world, and the long-range witch weapon is the most widely used weapon. The first-level witch weapon slingshot is the most basic animal taming weapon for humans. Use the slingshot to stun the beast, and then tame.

Similarly, when fighting beasts, in addition to the beasts fighting by themselves, the beast hunters can also use witchcraft to cooperate with the beasts, because the difference in the size of humans and giant beasts is too big, so long-range weapons become very important .

At present, the Jiang tribe possesses [-] first-class slingshots, three sets of first-class bone armor, three second-class slingshots, one second-class witch bow, one third-class bone knife, and one The incomplete third-level tortoise shell (the piece that the chief is looking for), most of these witchcraft are obtained by robbing other people.

If the Jiang tribe wants to increase their strength, they need a batch of witchcraft.

The Yi tribe is the suzerain tribe of the alliance. They also have a stone city that specializes in selling weapons, and all the tribes under their banner can buy weapons from them.

Li Yan arranged for Lucky Salt's beast team, and brought his people to this stone city where weapons were sold.

Li Yan had been here during the autumn meeting last year, but he didn't bring much money with him at the time, and the witchcraft here was a bit expensive, so Li Yan didn't buy it. Now, he has [-] Bei coins, which is enough money to buy equipment.

　The two chapters are published together, which is a little more refreshing.
