Chapter 28 Trading [Please read]

"What does Chief Long want to trade?" Li did not answer, but changed the topic and asked.

"If you want to make more coal and stone, you need more people, so I want to exchange for some slaves." Qin Yu stated his purpose.

"Slaves?" Li frowned and said in silence for a moment, "How many slaves does Chief Long want to exchange for one thousand kilograms of coal?"

Qin Yu shook his head and did not answer: "Master Li, just give me a suitable amount."

Li didn't respond immediately when he heard this.

Instead, he began to recall the role of coal and stone. The burning time is ten times longer than that of wood. Even if there is no flame, it can continue to emit heat for warmth. The day he switched to burning coal and stone, he had an extremely comfortable and warm sleep.

If there were enough coal and stone, no more tribesmen would freeze to death this winter.

On the contrary, exchanging slaves can save some supplies. After the winter, you can just grab some when you need them...

Soon, Li calculated the account and after hesitating for a long time, he gave the price: "One thousand catties of coal and stone, fifty slaves."

Fifty slaves!

Qin Yu was suddenly shocked. To be honest, his highest expectation was only fifty.

But after all, he was not a native primitive man, and he didn't know much about the background here, so his expectations were low.

But since the other party offered such a high price first, Qin Yu would naturally raise it higher.

"How about this, Mr. Li, eighty slaves for one thousand kilograms of coal and stone? Fifty is a bit too little. After all, it takes nearly half a month for the Dragon Tribe to bake one thousand kilograms of coal and stone!"

"Okay, then a thousand pounds of coal will be exchanged for eighty slaves, but it won't be so high next time." Li thought for a while and agreed.

This was because the other party saved the princess of their tribe, otherwise he would definitely not suffer this loss in this transaction.

Qin Yu responded with a smile: "No problem, Master Li. From now on, all coal and stone purchased by your tribe will be calculated as fifty slaves per kilogram."

Li nodded and was satisfied.

Then the two parties agreed on a time in the afternoon to deliver the goods at the Dragon Tribe.

After the negotiation was completed, Li took the accompanying soldiers back, and he no longer needed to intervene in subsequent matters.

……

The time comes in the afternoon.

As expected, a team of a hundred people came outside the east gate of the Dragon Tribe.

Eighty of these slaves were used to purchase coal and stone.

Qin Yu specially ran out to check it out in person.

These eighty slaves are really good, there are more than fifty adult men, and the rest are women, old people and children.

Overall it's worth it, very worth it.

As long as these people can be converted into the population of the Dragon Tribe, the development speed of the Dragon Tribe can be greatly increased.

Now Qin Yu is very interested in militarism. For him, only strong force can make the tribe develop faster.

He ordered people to carry out more than a dozen baskets of coal and stone weighing a thousand kilograms, and after the transaction was completed, the slaves were brought back to the tribe.

The two parties reached a harmonious deal.

The purchased slaves were placed in the tent area in the north.

These slaves looked very thin and poorly dressed, so Qin Yu asked people to make some meat and porridge for them to share.

Keep them full when they are hungry, and keep them warm when they are cold. Over time, the other person will be obedient and grateful to you.

Therefore, Qin Yu gave them food first, and when they felt the cold, he gave them clothes to protect them from the cold fire.

Within a few days, these people will be able to integrate smoothly.

…    Two days later.

In the patriarch's tent.

"You Ming, Jiang Li, you two will be responsible for taking the caravan on a trade route later."

"Let me tell you the approximate transaction price."

"One hundred pounds of coal and stone are exchanged for three strong horses, or five thin horses. The old horses are not needed."

"One hundred pounds of coal is exchanged for five prairie sheep. The little sheep and the old sheep don't want it."

"One hundred pounds of coal is exchanged for two strong cows, or four calves. The old cows are not wanted."

"One hundred kilograms of coal will be exchanged for twenty intact skins, and the broken skins will not be accepted."

"One hundred kilograms of coal is exchanged for three adult male slaves or five adult female slaves. The elderly and children do not want it."

"One hundred kilograms of coal is exchanged for forty kilograms of meat. Just bacon, meat that can be preserved for a long time."

"One hundred catties of coal is exchanged for one hundred catties of food, which requires coarse grains."

……

Qin Yu listed a dozen items that could be traded.

Then let the two of them memorize it quickly.

Fortunately, You Ming and Jiang Li both had good intelligence, and they memorized almost everything in just over twenty minutes.

Before leaving, Qin Yu also gave a few instructions: "This trade will start with the farthest tribe first, and then slowly return along the route. In this way, if there is any difficulty along the way, we can stop the trade and return directly."

"This time, in addition to the twenty members of the Stone Spear Team and the ten members of the Shield and Axe Team, you will be assigned a team of ten archers. Twenty tribesmen will be responsible for escorting the goods. All members must wear weapons."

After finishing his instructions, Qin Yu urged the two of them to set off as soon as possible.

In front of the west gate of the Dragon Tribe, a total of six carriages were loaded with three thousand kilograms of coal and stone, and the team responsible for escorting them was fully sixty people.

In addition to the wooden arm armor, the stone spearman also has a stone spear and ten throwing spears.

Most of the throwing guns are placed in the carriage and can be drawn out and used when encountering an enemy.

Needless to say, the equipment of the ten shield axemen is a proper primitive tank with relatively high lethality.

The ax with polishing agent was extremely sharp. At this time, Qin Yu felt that no weapon could compare with it. One blow of the ax could cut the enemy in half.

The ten archers were used to hold down the formation. They could attack the enemy from a distance of more than a hundred meters, and their power should not be underestimated.

Qin Yu attached great importance to this trade plan, which represented the future rise and fall of the Dragon Tribe and whether it could accumulate enough supplies to support a long war.

Looking at the back of the tribe's caravan leaving, Qin Yu fully expected the team to return in full dress and bring him a surprise.

……

The current population of the Dragon Tribe is approximately one hundred and ninety-six people, which is rounded to two hundred people.

Because Qin Yu's plan was to take the war route. After all, it was winter and he didn't have the conditions to farm even if he wanted to.

Secondly, after winter, the protection period for novices has passed. At that time, Qin Yu will face the invasion of other players, so vigorously developing the military is the right direction.

In the past few days, not only the archery training ground has been established around the tribe, but also the spear throwing training ground and the stone spear training ground.

Since the number of members of the Shield Ax Team is too small, there is no need to set up a training ground. After all, Qin Yu doesn't know when he will be able to get the polishing agent. Therefore, if the Shield Ax Team wants to increase its number, it may only depend on fate. .

Since eighty slaves were traded with the Panshi tribe a few days ago, Qin Yu increased the number of archers led by Ya to fifty people.

These fifty people are all adult women, and they are all relatively tall and powerful. Naturally, the bloated aunt Qin Yu will not let them come out to fight.
