Shang tribe.

The Shang tribe is a tribe that specializes in trading. They get the price difference from transactions and get generous returns. However, the Shang tribe's transactions gradually weakened because of Shang Bayi's poor character. Their trading path encountered many obstacles.

In the days when there was no trade, gathering, fishing and hunting became their main business.

Shang Bayi's bad character is mainly reflected in his treachery, being too careless, and being a famous miser. Such a person will naturally not be welcomed, and can only communicate with tribes a little further away, or with small people in the wilderness.

The tribe makes deals, so their lives have always been very tight on the surface.

Only recently, the Shang Tribe was sent to trade by the leader of the Root Tribe, and they made a lot of profits from two consecutive transactions.

Shang Jiuyi saw new opportunities in this, namely the salt and pottery of the Xia tribe.

Shang Bayi looked at the salt and pottery that his son Shang Jiuyi had returned from the transaction. The folds on his face were like old tree bark, and he smiled from ear to ear.

This is the best item exchanged by the Shang tribe. If it is traded, the Shang tribe will gain a lot.

"Dad, you know these are intercepted from Daqi, so they cannot be traded in this area."

"Of course I know, Jiuyi, you go somewhere farther away."

"You don't have to go too far, just the Dao tribe. Just tell them that it's not our deal."

"That's right, the Root Tribe and the Rice Tribe don't have a good relationship, so I just want to find the Rice Tribe."

Shang Jiu had just gone to deliver a gift to Daqi two days ago. Of course, he embezzled some salt and pottery from this transaction with the Xia tribe.

The people who came and went to do business were all people from the Shang tribe, so when they handed over the business to Da Qi, they did not arouse the suspicion of Da Qi and his two smart people.

When he told Da Qi that the king of the Xia tribe was not in the Xia tribe, but still accepted the two women who looked exactly the same, Da Qi actually behaved very calmly. This made Shang Jiu suspicious. Maybe they were waiting for the two women.

A woman collects information from the Xia tribe.

It's just that Shang Jiu is still a little worried. If Da Qi lets the two women collect information, then Shang Jiu will have no effect on Da Qi. He also wants to get more benefits from Da Qi.

Shang Bayi said: "Jiuyi, the Dao tribe is not short of pottery. Go and trade all the salt to them."

"All of them? Aren't we going to keep them?"

"Just keep a little, you and I don't need so much."

"Dad, don't other people in the Shang tribe eat salt?"

"Salt is so important, how can it be given to everyone? When we eat food, we only need to sprinkle a little on it secretly, and no one else will know."

Shang Jiu had known for a long time that his father was a famous miser. He was stingy with people from other tribes and even more stingy with people from his own tribe.

However, being stingy also has the advantage of being stingy, that is, the Shang tribe is also accumulating wealth, but Shang Bayi hides it well so that outsiders don't know.

He didn't think anything of not giving salt to his tribe members, but the caravans who were out trading shouldn't be stingy with salt.

"Dad, isn't this bad?"

"If you want to be known by the big guys, just feed them."

Shang Jiuyi was so shocked that he had nothing to say.

How would Da Qi deal with him if he knew he was corrupt? He knew the consequences without even thinking about it. He suddenly felt that his father Shang Bayi was not an old fool. Shang Bayi, whom he had not considered, had already considered it.

"Then what should I trade with the Dao tribe?"

"You are stupid. Whatever the Xia tribe lacks, you just trade with the Dao tribe."

"Yes, the Xia tribe doesn't like gems, they like food."

The wealth of the Shang tribe mainly consisted of items such as gems. Shang Jiu, who had dealt with the Xia tribe twice, had a new goal, specializing in trading food for the Xia tribe's precious salt and pottery.

"Jiuyi, I heard that the women from the Dao tribe are pretty. Why don't you get two of them back for me?"

The old Shang Bayi still didn't give up, he also wanted to give birth to Shang Jiuyi's brothers from Shang Jiuer to Shang Jiujiu.

Shang Jiu had known for a long time that Shang Bayi was not in good health and still thought about women. Finding a woman for him would kill him.

"Dad, you'd better rest. You don't have that fate. You'd better wait for me to have more sons. You should give my son a good name."

In fact, this is also the most difficult part for Shang Bayi. Seeing that one of Shang Jiuyi's women is about to give birth to a child, she just doesn't know how to name it.

Shang Bayi once wanted to name Shang Eleven to Shang Nineteen, but then I thought, what should I name the son Shang Eleven gave birth to? It is impossible to name Shang Eleven to Shang Eleven, right?

"I'm still thinking about your son's name. It's hard to choose."

Shang Jiu is not interested in taking names. He still likes to earn more goods.

"I plan to take out all the gems from the Shang tribe and trade them for food. There is no use in keeping these in the tribe. Then I will use the food to exchange for salt and pottery, and then trade them to other tribes. The masters of the Root tribe know that we will trade salt ourselves.

And pottery, he won’t trouble us, what do you think?”

Shang Ba nodded in agreement.

Shang Jiu then went down to make arrangements.

Xia tribe.

Wang Wei is listening to Xia Yi's report.

Since Wang Wei has returned to the Xia tribe, the hunting team of the Xia tribe has sufficient manpower.

Xia Yi took the other four people to find the Ma tribe that the woman Ma was talking about. Because they were not familiar with the place, they did not find the Ma tribe. Instead, they found another small tribe called the Zhi tribe. But they did not expect that this Zhi tribe would actually

I still have a little grudge against the Ma tribe.

The hemp trees planted by the Zhi tribe were always stolen by the people of the hemp tribe. The Zhi tribe had no choice because there were few people in the Zhi tribe and a woman was the leader. They could not defeat the hemp tribe, so they had to endure it.

When Xia Yi asked Woman Ma if she was a woman from the Ma tribe, the female leader of the Zhi tribe said that there was no woman named Ma in the Ma tribe, but there was a woman named Ma in the Zhi tribe, but that woman Ma went to the Ma tribe and has been there ever since.

There is no backweaver tribe.

After hearing this, Wang Wei probably understood something. After the woman Ma arrived at the Ma tribe, she was sent to the Xia tribe.

What is the relationship between this woman Ma and the leader of the Ma tribe?

Wang Wei felt that the woman should be brought to trial, but there was no yamen or court in the Xia tribe.

However, you can consider building a government office in the new city. It is also a good choice for daily work, meetings, and receiving guests. The previously designed conference room felt too modern and had few functions. I thought I would have time to re-plan the new city in the next two days.

Comb it through.

Since there is no place to interrogate women, then go to the prison cell.

So a group of people walked towards the cell.

The woman, Ma, has been imprisoned for several days. She only has one meal a day, which is relatively small, so she is already dizzy and weak from hunger.

Wang Wei and others came to the cell, and Xia Yi took the woman out and asked him to kneel opposite Wang Wei.

This woman looked okay, but she looked like she was crying, and she was a little scared when she saw Wang Wei.

How can you have any charm now? Are you still trying to seduce me?

It was also the first time for Wang Wei to interrogate a prisoner, so he was a little nervous.

"May I have your name?"

The woman trembled and said, "hemp."

"Do you know why you were locked up?"

"Know."

"Tell me what you did in the Xia tribe?"

"Inquire about the Xia tribe."

"Told who?"

"People from the Ma tribe."

"Who sent you?"

"The leader of the Ma tribe."

When asked, the woman told the truth. Wang Wei continued to ask:

"Are you from the Ma tribe?"

"yes"

"Why don't you say you are from the Zhi tribe."

"Ah, I...I have already left the Zhi tribe."

"I think you want to protect the Zhi tribe, right?"

The woman raised her head and said nothing.

"Then tell me how you were deceived by the leader of the Ma tribe?"

"The king knows that I was deceived?"

"I'm asking you, please tell me quickly."

It turns out that Ma, a woman, was attracted by the appearance of the leader of the Ma tribe, and she soon fell in love with the leader of the Ma tribe. In addition, the leader of the Ma tribe was a playboy, and he won Ma with some sweet talk.
