Chapter 226 Shang Jiulai sets out to go home
Xia tribe.
Shang Jiu from the Shang tribe came to the Xia tribe again with items.
The last time he came to the Xia tribe to trade, he thought he would be able to exchange gems for the salt and pottery he wanted. Unexpectedly, the king of the Xia tribe had no interest in those gems.
This time, some of the items they brought were gems, more plant fruits, and three horses.
The ones who received Shang Jiu were Shi Yun and Shi Da. In addition, Mei, Cao Gen, and Xia Dazui also came to see the items that Shang Jiu brought.
Shang Jiu was a little disappointed not to see Wang Wei.
He first promoted the gems he brought to everyone, but saw that no one was interested in his gems at all.
Shang Jiu had no choice but to switch to another item he brought, a kind of plant fruit. He thought that the Xia tribe people had never seen these fruits, so he introduced them again and again.
Shi Yun knew that these fruits were the rice mentioned by Wang Wei, and some of them were still stored in the Xia tribe.
Xia Dazui also knows Mei and Caogen.
They knew that Wang Wei attached great importance to plant seeds. He once told them that the rice was edible and that the Xia tribe would plant it on a large scale in the future.
Therefore, they all showed great interest after listening to Shang Jiu's detailed introduction.
Then Shang Jiu introduced the horses he brought.
Xia Dazui thought Mei and Caogen were mules, but Wang Wei once specifically said that the Xia tribe needed this kind of animal.
Shang Jiu saw that everyone was very satisfied, but he was still hesitant to launch two items? He knew that the king of the Xia tribe was not here, and this group of people might not accept these two items after they were launched.
But he still pointed at the two women who came with him and asked how they were doing.
Only then did everyone in the room notice the two women, who had been wearing straw hats, covering most of their faces.
Now that Shang Jiu took off his straw hat, everyone was impressed. They actually looked exactly the same, not much older than Li. It was just that their expressions were dull and they looked a little dull. But they both had beautiful faces and pride.
The human figure is full of allure.
Everyone in the room may have heard of people who look exactly the same, but they have never seen them with their own eyes.
This matter was very difficult for Shi Yun. She couldn't make a decision, so she had to look at Mei and Cao Gen.
For Mei, the increase in the population of the Xia tribe is in line with the development needs of the Xia tribe and the needs of the king. At this time, she was thinking whether the king would be tempted after meeting these two women.
It didn't matter to the grassroots, it was just two women. He had already gone beyond the level of looking at people's appearance, thinking that only the king would pay superficial attention to a woman's appearance.
Mei couldn't make up her mind for a moment, and no one else could make the decision.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Shang Jiu thought that only the king could make the decision. He said that the two women were not for exchange, but for the king of the Xia tribe.
After hearing this, everyone looked at Mei again.
This matter was so big that Mei felt the pressure. What if you accept these two women and the king is dissatisfied? What if you don't accept them and the king is dissatisfied?
However, she finally left the two women behind and asked the king to come back and deal with it.
In this way, Shang Jiu brought several goods, but only rice and horses satisfied the Xia tribe people.
Shi Yun was ready to discuss how much salt and pottery to exchange for Shang Jiu's goods.
But Shang Jiu said that when he came, he saw that the wooden spears and shields used by the hunting group of the Xia tribe were very special, and he wanted to trade these goods.
Shi Yun denied it on the spot and threatened to ask Shang Jiu to leave the Xia tribe with the goods if she disagreed.
Seeing that he could not persuade others and was afraid of arousing suspicion, Shang Jiu agreed to trade salt and pottery. He knew that he had not suffered a loss, and he could swallow some salt and pottery in this transaction. The loss was also a great weapon for the Gen tribe.
This time he can also bring back a piece of news to Daqi, that is, the king of the Xia tribe is not in the Xia tribe.
Shi Yun and Shi Da sent Shang Jiu to the gate of the Xia tribe.
Shang Jiu saw that the people he brought were being guarded by the Xia tribe, and thought that the Xia tribe's precautions were in place, and they didn't find out anything this time.
The only thing they could see was the magnificent city wall that the Xia tribe was still building, which shocked them.
----------
Blackstone Tribe.
Wang Wei once again invited Afu to join the Xia tribe with everyone in the Blackstone tribe.
But Afu still made it clear that he did not want to leave this place.
Wang Wei was helpless. He thought of the wild wolf tribe's sneak attack today and said:
"Elder Afu, you know that what we experienced today is very dangerous. If the slaves know that there are Wild Wolf Tribe and Canglang Tribe in the woods, then they are likely to escape to the other side, and they are also very likely to cooperate with the Wild Wolf Tribe to launch a direct attack
Attack. Although the Wild Wolf Tribe fled in the end, they may not have gone far. I'm worried that after the Xia Tribe leaves, they will come back to attack. Even if they don't come back now, aren't they going to participate in the totem conference? There will be more of them by then.
If there are more people, it is very likely that they will come back with more people, so the elders should think more about it."
"If it were just a tribe of wild wolves, we wouldn't be afraid of them. But I really can't bear to give up here."
"Actually, the cave won't fall there. At most, it will be occupied by others. When the Xia tribe becomes stronger, we can take it back."
Ah Fu heard Wang Wei's implication, and he once again expressed his intention not to leave.
Wang Wei couldn't force it anymore. He invited Ah Fu to join the Xia tribe at least three times, but he was still unwilling. He had to advise Ah Fu to be prepared and have a way out.
Wang Wei originally wanted to give the Blackstone Tribe a few iron spears, but considering that the gift was too few, it would not be effective. And because there were more slaves along the way back, he still had to have iron spears for self-defense. Besides, the people of the Blackstone Tribe were used to using them.
Stone knives and stone axes, they are not used to using iron spears.
"Your Majesty, I only have one daughter left. I asked her to follow your Majesty to the Xia tribe. I hope she will live a better life. Please take good care of her."
Ah Fu asked Wang Wei to take Li away. He believed that Li had become Wang Wei's woman and should be with him.
"This is natural. Li is a good woman. She is interested in medicine. The Xia tribe lacks talents like her."
Wang Wei would not leave Li Li here alone. Who knows what will happen here in the future? It is too dangerous after all.
Li also took away a few little girls who were close to her, and Wang Wei naturally agreed.
It was already around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone in the Xia tribe set out in great numbers to return to the Xia tribe.
This time outside the cave of the Wild Wolf Tribe, Wang Wei cooperated to scare away the Wild Wolf Tribe and the Canglang Tribe's slaves, raising their level by one level and becoming first-class slaves.
Although they can't understand what the first-class slave and the second-class slave mean, if you give them an example, they will understand.
For example, if you help the Xia tribe scare off the savages today, even if they perform meritorious service, they will change from second-class slaves to first-class slaves. If they perform meritorious service again, they will change from first-class slaves to free persons, and they can join or leave the Xia tribe.
It sounds very tempting, and there are honest people among the slaves, so they believe it.
There are also those who don't believe it, but they are afraid of the powerful force of the Xia tribe. They have seen the Xia tribe's iron spears and bows and arrows, and the Xia tribe's ruthlessness towards their enemies.
And because the Xia tribe did not beat or scold them, and they had eaten food twice in a row today, and their stomachs were full.
Gradually, they have no intention of escaping, so where can they go? Primitive people still consider reality.
The slaves carried magnets on their backs, which weighed about forty pounds each on average, but they were actually not tiring at all.
Only Wang Wei and Hu Meizi are riding horses in the team, which is not good. The Xia tribe needs warriors on horseback to deliver information and provide long-distance support. They need to be able to ride horses.
While the team was marching, Wang Wei asked the hunting team to learn how to ride, and many people such as Xia Feng, Yi Hu, Cao Kezi, etc. learned how to ride.
Xia Lei is not used to riding horses because he gets dizzy when riding horses.
This is very strange. I have heard of seasickness and motion sickness. This is the first time Wang Wei has heard that riding a horse can cause dizziness.
After the hunting group gradually learned to ride horses, there were not enough horses in the team to ride. Wang Wei decided to go back through the horse tribe and go to the horse tribe to exchange some horses.
So before dark, you need to find a place to camp, and then go directly to the Ma tribe.
The journey was uneventful, and they found a camp in a forest, where they arranged for people to cut wood and make a fire.
This time in the wilderness is also a time to test the slaves. After all, the Xia tribe can only fight with less than forty people. There are eighty or ninety men among the slaves, and there are more women and children. If the female slaves resist, then what will they do to the Xia tribe?
The threat is not big. The main thing is to guard against the male slaves, which is indeed worth worrying about.
Even if they didn't resist and sneaked away, the Xia tribe people wouldn't be able to discover them in time.
In the evening, everyone gathered around the fire with the slaves and distributed furs to the slaves.
There are too few tents to accommodate everyone.
But Wang Wei arranged for the hunting team to build as many fur tents as possible with the furs taken from the Wild Wolf tribe. Some women and children among the slaves were arranged to sleep in the tents, which left a good impression on the Xia tribe in the minds of the slaves.
.
In order to win the favor of the slaves, Wang Wei took the initiative to chat with the slaves, mainly telling them some things about the Xia tribe, the power of the Xia tribe, the food of the Xia tribe, etc. This attracted their attention, and chatting with the slaves also made them understand the slaves.
Wang Wei’s personal understanding.
The night vigil is still held by the hunting team and the logistics team in rotation.
