MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 79
During the communication with Ya, Sang Yu also gradually determined her position.
That is to use the least price in exchange for the most potential slave.
Although children aged 0-12 need to spend more time, energy and material resources to cultivate, but also face the risk of premature death.
But this group has the deepest potential. Once cultivated, it can grow together with the tribe ideologically, it is easy to cultivate a sense of belonging, and it is difficult to develop a sense of betrayal.
The second category is adults aged 25-40, they are not as popular as young people aged 15-20, and the prices are low.
But it also has certain risks. They didn't live a good life when they were young, they were weak and sick, and they were prone to illness and death. In another ten or twenty years, this group of people would begin to age.
But such people are actually more tolerant and resilient than people of other age groups, and they are more grateful.
For modern people, young and middle-aged people in this time period are in the golden age of life and career, and Sang Yu is willing to give them this opportunity.
In the Phoenix tribe, they can temporarily not have the ability to innovate. But there are so many leaders with good ideas, they just need to obey and do as they are told.
In the tribe, Zhi and Ci are representatives of this age group. They are more secure than others, and Sang Yu feels relieved when he entrusts them with the matter.
The tribe is currently all young people, and she doesn't mind some more mature people coming at this time, and she is also willing to start trying to build a primitive tribe pension system.
And the last ones are young people aged 15-25.
It's not that Sang Yu doesn't want such people, but that such people are too expensive, and all the pottery she brought should be replaced by such people, no more than fifty of them, which is not the result she wants.
Moreover, they are too opinionated and impulsive. At this time, the Phoenix Tribe does not need someone who is too smart or too assertive. She is enough.
The main theme of the tribe is still development, and there is no need for a big collision of ideas for the time being. These collisions will only bring about internal friction, which in turn will affect the progress of productivity.
Of course, she took these thoughts to the bottom of her heart, and just told Ya that she wanted two types of people, who were cheaper and more obedient, and could work with a little training/teaching when she went back.
Ya expressed her understanding and tried her best to help her check and pick people together.
Sang Yu said: "If you want to exchange those weapons for pottery and animal skins, then don't exchange them. What I have are better. You can exchange a few people for me."
Ya smiled and agreed. After all, there was nothing she wanted in the market, so it would be better to let the Phoenix tribe owe it and get the salt at that time.
Tribal salt can never be broken ah.
With the success of the first pottery exchange, a second pottery exchange soon followed.
This time, four men and women in their twenties were escorted over. They all looked pretty and healthy, not as stooped as the first one at the beginning.
But the buyer directly opened his mouth, and wanted to exchange for a No. 1 Tao Ding, but Sang Yu directly refused.
It's so expensive, she didn't just buy it and go back to offer it.
Moreover, these few people looked relatively innocent. They must have been demoted upper-class people from some tribe, and they must be used to living a good life.
Sang Yu has been insensitive to these people ever since she experienced Liu Huo and the others.
She doesn't have that much energy to **** these people.
However, the slave owner really liked these pottery, so he gritted his teeth and said that he could replace it with the No. 2 clay pot.
But Sang Yu still shook his head.
The man felt that it was boring to ask any more questions, so he dragged him away cursing.
As a result, those who originally thought about exchanging maintained a wait-and-see attitude, wanting to see how others would exchange.
Sang Yu didn't panic, they originally planned to stay in Bahe Market for four or five days, and this was the first day.
The appetizers are not served yet.
Until the next day, sure enough, larger tribes came to the door one after another.
Their slaves are really good quality, but not cheap either.
Sang Yu accepts according to the standard set the day before, as long as the price is cheap enough, children, regardless of gender, are welcome.
On the second day alone, twenty children under the age of ten were replaced. Some of these children could not be raised by their biological parents, and some were directly sold by slave owners.
In addition, there were five mothers with children, and twenty men and women in their thirties.
These people looked severely malnourished, and each of them was so hungry that their eyes glowed green.
Sang Yu asked Gao to take them to the temporary shelter for everyone, put on the bracelets they had prepared in advance, and take good care of them.
These people have done simple background checks. Most of them are used to hard times. They can change to anyone as the master, as long as they have something to eat, and they don’t have a strong desire to run away.
After all, they had the marks of slaves branded on their arms. Even if they ran away, they would be beaten up if they were caught, and then they would continue to be sold. Then they might as well just stay here and pray that the new master would be more merciful than the previous one.
And they also found that the new owner seems to be different from the previous one.
No beating or scolding, and someone cooked a big pot of broth for them to drink.
These people, who had tasted the salt, prostrated themselves on the ground, thanking the new master for his magnanimity.
Mei and Erxue, Gao and Qing were all assigned to appease these slaves and do ideological work for them.
Draw them cakes!
Let them be full of expectations for the new land, then on the way back, they will be obedient and not make trouble.
Wait until the new ground, and then slowly adjust/teach.
This trick really worked, especially with the appeasement of the food, and the deterrence of the two iron-eating beasts behind the bamboo forest, these people are so obedient.
Children are innocent existences, unlike the little emperor who was spoiled and raised in modern times, who comforts them well and gives them something to eat without crying or fussing. They are much easier to manage than those adults.
As for the bazaar, the exchange work was carried out quite smoothly, but on the third day, there was a small episode.
Previously, the Phoenix Tribe led the horses, showed up in uniform clothes, and took so many slaves.
The first one to appear was the Xuangui Tribe. This group of people didn't beat around the bush. When they brought people up, they were all questioned. They were nothing more than where they came from, how big the tribe was, and what to do with so many people.
I just want to know if such a big battle in this tribe will pose a threat to them.
Gao replied according to the rhetoric that had been discussed long ago.
"We, the Phoenix tribe, are on the bank of a river in the east of the Eastern Wilderness. We have been walking in the direction of the rising sun. It will take fifteen days..."
As Gao said, he pointed his fingers and told them that they were far away, but he didn't expect that these big tribes had already been born in numbers. When he heard that it would take fifteen days to travel, he felt that this tribe was too far away, and they were not in their Bahe area. , Geographically, it does not pose any threat for the time being.
"Then why do you want to buy so many people, what is the current population of your tribe?"
"We are a small tribe. We used to have more than 300 people. Later, the Eagle Tribe attacked us. One hundred people died, and another 200 people were kidnapped. There were more than 30 people left. So we fought back and sent the Eagle Tribe to Extinguished and rescued the clansmen, now I want to buy some to go back and replenish."
When I said this, I directly explained three points.
One is that our population is small, only over 200 people now, and we do not pose any threat to you big tribes at all;
The second is that the population needs to be replenished because people died in the war. There is a reason for this, and it is not a sudden expansion;
The third is that we actually have good fighting power. The Eagle tribe bullied the door, and then we fought back. With only 30 people, we rescued the tribe and beat the other party to extermination. We have fighting power, so you don’t have nothing to do casually provoke us.
Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble.
The situation and attitude were clearly explained, and the Xuangui tribe probably knew what tribe they were facing, probably just a bone.
Although I brought some meat, it was small and hard to eat, so I didn't need to spend so much energy to mess with others for this meat, it wasn't worth it.
So Xuangui passed the level and began to look at their pottery seriously.
Looking at it this way, I really couldn't put it down, so I called twenty or thirty slaves in Huladi, wanting to change people.
When Gao saw so many young and middle-aged people, he immediately expressed his desire to change to cheaper ones.
The elders of Xuangui laughed loudly when they heard the words, "You don't buy people who can work, what do you buy those weak women and children, they die within two years of their age, it's not worth it."
Gao Yu said: "We don't have much pottery. We have taken out all the pottery from the tribe, so we want to send more people back. Although these people are not very good at hunting, they are still good at gathering."
A few people instantly felt that this tribe really had no long-term vision, and those temptations just now were in vain.
So he randomly picked some children and threw them over.
Sang Yu winked at Gao, and Gao hurriedly said: "These children are all with their mothers, it's a pity that they are separated, why don't you be more merciful, and give us the children's mother at a bargain."
Several elders held pottery in their hands, but their eyes kept glancing behind Gao.
Sang Yu doesn't like to deal with these people, they are all barbaric natives, just keep it for Gao to send, and stay behind to chat with Ya and the others.
It's just that they have good looks and temperament, far from being comparable to the women these natives have seen, and it is inevitable that they will attract prying eyes.
Seeing that Sang Yu and the others were not slaves, these natives could only watch from a distance, feeling sorry.
Seeing that Gao is so flattering now, and wants to show a rich and powerful appearance in front of Sang Yu, Ya and the others, he can do it with a big wave of his hand.
The business was done, and Gao thanked him in a hurry.
Only then did the aboriginal elders let people carry the pottery tripod and pots to leave with satisfaction, and when they left, they didn't forget to look back in the direction of Sang Yu and the others, hoping to get the beauty's favor.
It's a pity that he didn't, so he had to leave angrily.
The news that the Xuangui tribe inquired quickly spread to the other two tribes.
The Phoenix Tribe threat theory is gone. But the news that the women of the Phoenix Tribe are all very beautiful quickly spread.
So in the next two days, the front of their booth was always crowded with people, who came to see the beauties in the name of exchange.
Sang Yu doesn't care, as long as she doesn't offend her and can make a deal.
Yu felt uncomfortable being watched, she didn't like that kind of gaze. But Sang Yu told her to be more peaceful, so she could only put away her fierce eyes and sit angrily behind the booth.
Seeing that she looked a little funny, Sang Yu asked her to go out to play on her own, but she didn't leave her at all, sulking behind her.
On the fourth day, they counted the number and exchanged limited pottery for one hundred and sixty people, most of whom were women and children, eighty children, fifty women, and thirty men in their thirties and forties. .
The Rock Tribe also helped to replace 20 people, adding up to 180 people.
According to the plan when we came, there were still 20 people left.
But at this time, there is only one large pottery tripod and a few small pottery bowls that have not been exchanged.
Sang Yu transferred most of his men to the small bamboo forest to maintain order. More than 180 slaves were together, and management was very important.
He took Qing and Yu to wander around the market casually, while Gao continued to guard the stall.
After walking for a long time, when I just wanted to come back, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a stall with something familiar—rice grains, mixed with other seeds, which was extremely inconspicuous.
Sang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't move in an instant.
Go straight forward and say that you want to exchange these fruits and seeds.
Of course, the stall owner recognized Sangyu, their sackcloths looked particularly conspicuous in the market, and he had brought some fruits to see if they could exchange them for pottery bowls. But because he didn't bring rice grains with him at that time, Sang Yu didn't see it and confiscated it.
Seeing her coming now, the man smiled wryly and said, "You said before that you don't want these seeds, are you looking at something else?"
His stall mainly sells animal skins. It's a pity that the most indispensable thing in the whole market is animal skins.
Sang Yu pointed to the pile of fruits and said, "I misread it before. I want that pile. Is one pottery bowl enough?"
She didn't specifically point out the rice, just to avoid attracting other people's attention.
The man's mouth was almost grinning behind his ears, and he nodded hurriedly, enough is enough.
I was about to wrap it with big leaves, but an unexpected guest came at this time.
It was Yao, the son of the leader of the Fire Tribe, one of the three tribes, who came.
This man has followed Sang Yu and the other for a long time. Seeing them stop to buy things now, I quickly signaled my followers to follow, and said, "Whatever you want to exchange, I can help you. These fruits are counted on our Fire Tribe, and they are my presents to you."
Qing became anxious at once, of course he could see the man's thoughts on Sang Yu.
Just because you can see it, it's even more annoying.
Without even thinking about it, Yu Ze, who was directly standing in front of Yao, quickly took out a pottery bowl from his arms, put it in front of the stall owner's booth, and quickly grabbed the fruits and seeds in the stall owner's hand, and put it in his hands. In the luggage that you carry with you.
The deal is over!
A set of movements is as smooth as flowing water, which is amazing.
Lian Yao's followers were also dumbfounded.
Yao laughed and said, "Women are too vigilant, we don't mean any harm, we just want to make friends."
Only then did Sang Yu signal Qing to back down, and said, "We didn't do anything, so we dare not accept your kindness, but we appreciate these kindness."
In the Bahe area, honorific titles have already begun to be used.
Sang Yu's posture is even more different from other women, and the admiration on Yao's face is even greater.
"The woman is too polite, I don't know when you will go back to the tribe."
Sang Yu thought for a while, and said, "There's no rush, those who want to buy haven't bought them yet, so wait a few days before leaving."
Yao finally grasped another point that could be used, and said: "There are hundreds of slaves in our tribe, let me give you a few, I wonder how many people you have left?"
Sang Yu shook her head lightly, and said with a smile: "I just said that I can't accept your kindness for no reason, why are you giving us something again?"
Her polite manners, in the eyes of men at this moment, made her more reserved and noble.
Yao Yao's eyes were blurred, and after recovering, he hurriedly said: "I want to treat you well, but I don't need you to do anything to treat you well."
These words directly crossed the line, especially Qing and Yu, ink was dripping from their faces.
At this moment, a voice came from the side, it was Ya.
"Boss Sang, why did you come here? I couldn't find you for a long time."
Seeing that there were other people present, Yao's initial excitement quickly cooled down, but when he saw Ya, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you... Ya?"
Ya looked at him for a long time before she found a vague impression and replied uncertainly, "Yao?"
"It's really you, I just said how familiar it looks."
After Ya reached out to touch him, she introduced to Sang Yu, "I came here with my father when I was young. My father knew Yao's father. We met twice."
Yao grinned and said, "It turns out that we are all acquaintances. We will be guests in our Fire Tribe at night. I will kill pigs and goats to entertain you."
Sang Yu shook her head slightly, and Ya immediately understood, and said, "It's still not possible. Next time my father comes, we will visit you together, but it seems that you are doing well in the Fire Tribe."
The entourage behind Yao immediately interjected: "Mr. Wok is already the leader of the Fire Tribe."
Ya didn't expect this, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that your father has become the leader. I'm really happy for you, so let's not come to the door so hastily, next time."
Yao was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "What do you pay attention to these vain etiquettes?"
Only then did Sang Yu speak: "Courteousness can be practiced everywhere in the world. This time we have exchanged all the things we brought. If we come back next time, we will definitely bring good pottery to visit."
After getting the rice seeds, Sang Yu couldn't wait to leave here, and talk about it later.
Having said that, Yao couldn't force it anymore, so he could only watch them leave.
While walking, Ya looked back at Yao who was still standing there looking at them, and said to Sang Yu: "It seems that I like you, do you want to think about it?"
Sang Yu shook her head to express her disinterest, "I only think about building a tribe now, man, it will only affect my construction speed."
As soon as she said this, Qing, who was standing beside her, suddenly had dry eyes.
After hearing what Sang Yu said, Ya immediately joked: "Then is this what you will be like all your life, or do you already have someone you like?"
After finishing speaking, I felt wrong, "Yes, you said that men will influence your construction, it seems that there is no such thing, unless you like girls."
Sang Yu hadn't thought about this question, but it was the first time she heard it. At that moment, the string in my heart was touched.
I like girls...
But there was no abnormality on his face, and the smile did not diminish, and he said, "You, how could you have such an idea."
Ya couldn't help laughing, "I'll just say it casually, but it's not impossible. I like to stay with girls myself."
As he spoke, he felt that there was a man present, and it was not a good topic to talk about, so he changed the subject and said, "Are you sure you want to go back tomorrow?"
"Well, although there are 20 or 30 people away from the expected target, it is almost the same. With so many people, I want to take them back and settle down quickly. There will be many dreams outside."
"Okay, then come back tomorrow. It's been too long this time. Father is also worried at home."
"This time, I will come here with me. When I go back, I will personally bring a gift to make amends to your father."
"What are you talking about? I haven't come out for a long time. I thought the world was only in our area. If I don't come out, I don't know how vast the outside world is. Yao's father has become the leader. These big tribes have three to five thousand people. Above, there is also a tribe of gods, with tens of thousands of people, and we really need to come out more in the future."
Of course, the divine tribe Sangyu knew that it was the last tribe among the three tribes, but this tribe was far away from the Bahe market, and the tribe was self-sufficient, and no one was sent to trade even when the market opened.
Therefore, it is considered the strongest among the three tribes, but it is also the most mysterious tribe.
This is also the reason why Sang Yu didn't want to stay for long. These big tribes were getting bigger and bigger, and she was a small tribe.
If they accidentally offended others, or were missed by others, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
It's better to go back as soon as possible, develop well, and come back when you are stronger, and you will have more confidence.
…
When returning home at night, Sang Yu asked Yu to take out today's bag of fruits.
Carefully pick out the rice from inside.
Seeing this, Yu hurriedly helped to pick, and asked, "Is this seed very important?"
Sang Yu nodded.
"Better than tapioca?"
"Well, it's better than cassava, better than millet, but it's a pity that there are too few of them. Go back and cultivate them well, and we will rely on this for food in the future."
As soon as she explained it like this, Yu knew how important this seed was.
No wonder when the leader was in front of the booth just now, although the leader seemed indifferent, he was actually nervous inside.
She was so familiar with the leader that she knew at a glance that the leader was bound to get this thing.
So she took it without any hesitation, without giving anyone else a chance.
Whether it's an opportunity to **** or pay for an exchange.
After picking, Sang Yu took out a piece of white silk, wrapped the seeds and put them away.
He weighed it lightly in his hand, as if seeing bowls of white rice.
"Help me put it away, this is the biggest gain from our visit to Bahe Bazaar this time."
Hearing this, Yu solemnly took the seed packet.
It's just that at the moment when his hands touched, Sang Yu couldn't help but think of what Ya said in the afternoon.
Unless you like girls!
Suddenly one of them lost his grip, and the seed packet fell down.
I never expected that there would be someone so quick-sighted.
Yu grabbed the falling seed packet and raised an eyebrow at her, with a rare smug smile on his face.
"Hey, I'm fast enough."
