Chapter 1133 Ye Ying's Trickster Operation (Part 2)
As the young leader pointed randomly, several girls were led out immediately. Some people in the crowd were delighted, while others sighed.
How great it would be if they could be taken away by that tribe that looked very wealthy!
"Can I exchange a pot, this hatchet, and this bowl for these three people?"
The young leader asked Shi Quan by pulling out three girls from his side.
"Of course no problem."
Shi Quan agreed very readily and immediately asked someone to get a new iron pot, which also contained a spoon and hatchet, as well as five very ordinary white porcelain bowls.
The young leader was very excited when he saw these good things being placed in front of him.
It's for him now? So cheap? Only three girls can exchange for such precious good things?
At this moment, it was as if a new world had opened up in his mind. He looked back at the more than one hundred tribesmen behind him. It seemed that there was only one pot and five bowls, which were not enough!
And there was only one hatchet. Could it be for himself, and he would work every day to support other tribesmen?
How is it possible? !
Without thinking, he immediately pulled out three more girls from behind him. One of them was even just a child, who looked only seven or eight years old. She had yellow hair due to malnutrition, and her cheeks were sunken, which made her big eyes look even brighter.
"I want another iron pot and spoon, as well as a hatchet and bowl."
"No problem!"
Shi Quan still agreed happily, asked someone to deliver the things he wanted, and then took the initiative to sell them.
"Friend, you already have two pots, which is almost enough. Don't you consider getting a few buckets? Without buckets, it's inconvenient for you to cook food!
"And this salt, and bowls. With so many of you, only ten bowls are not enough."
The young leader looked at so many good things on the stall, hesitated for only a second, and immediately decided to trade some more. This was not because he was impulsive, but because the price Shi Quan quoted was too cheap and too happy.
"Then give me some of this salt stone and buckets."
"Okay! "Shi Quan cheered happily and immediately got busy getting the goods for the other party.
In just a few moments, a big deal was concluded between the two sides.
Ten iron buckets, each bucket was exchanged for a young girl, and little girls of a few years old were also exchanged.
Originally, there were 160 people in this small tribe, but after these transactions, the number was only more than 140.
But how can there be enough to eat with only ten bowls? Let's continue to exchange? As
a result, Shi Quan suddenly raised the price at this time.
Originally, regardless of gender, whether it was a girl or a child, everyone exchanged five bowls, but now, it becomes five bowls for a girl and only three for a little girl.
However, the young chief still thought he had taken advantage, so he continued to exchange, this time directly exchanging one hundred bowls, but using 26 girls and young girls.
One hundred bowls, plus the previous ten, already one hundred and one, and the population of their tribe has rapidly decreased from more than 160 people to about one hundred and ten, almost one bowl per person.
At this time, Shi Quan began to continue selling.
"Friend, wouldn't you like some white salt? We are leaving this time, and we don’t know when we will come back next time. Don’t you really want to exchange some? "
The young leader gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, some more white salt!"
"Okay!"
Shiquan immediately took out a sack of burlap and came to the wooden barrel of salt. The young leader pushed a person over, and he poured a bowl into the sack. When there were eight bowls, the young leader finally said no.
Because the women born in their own tribe, whether they were children, girls, or even adult women, had been exchanged by him. Now there are only boys and some adult men and women left in their entire tribe.
If they want to exchange again, they can only exchange with boys, who are the future main force of the tribe.
"Friend, you see that many people in your tribe don't have clothes to wear. We have the best sheepskin here, which is all nitrated. You can wear it after buying it. Would you like to consider it?"
"No, no, what's the use of animal skin? If you feel cold, you can just roast the fire. If you hide in the house and don't come out, you can freeze to death. No, no, no."
Shi Quan still didn't give up and continued to sell the goods.
"Friend, you need to roast the fire and cook, so you always need firewood. How about a few more hatchets? This will also make it convenient for you to chop wood, cook and keep warm?"
"This..."
The young leader hesitated for a moment and felt that what Shi Quan said was very reasonable, so he bought four more hatchets, all of which were exchanged for little boys of a few years old.
Although the mothers of those children were very reluctant, this was the order of the leader, so they had to accept it. What's more, those women would continue to have children, and these children didn't have to be taken care of by themselves, which seemed to be a good choice. And it was not known how many of these children would grow up.
"Friends, you have a hatchet, you can chop a lot of firewood, but what if your fire goes out? This flint is very convenient. How about one? It only takes two people to take it back."
The young leader was a little surprised when he saw the flint that was not even as big as his palm. Such a small thing is more expensive than an iron pot and a hatchet? It actually requires two people to exchange it?
Shi Quan said without blushing or beating his heart, "This is a fire. Don't you know how important a fire is? This thing can be used to start a fire anytime and anywhere. Don't you think it is not worth two people?"
The young leader seemed to think it made sense, so he reluctantly chose two children to exchange for the flint. Although it was painful, it was not a loss. At least with this thing, they no longer had to worry about the fire in the tribe going out.
"Friends, do you want this shovel? Look, it's very useful for chopping wood and digging soil. Would you consider buying a few?"
Shi Quan was still trying hard to sell the product, but no matter how hard he tried, the little leader refused to buy it. Finally, Shi Quan had to give up and sent someone to the big ship to report to Ye Ying and ask whether he should leave or stay.
Ye Ying had known the news here for a long time, so he came to a two-masted sailboat near the shore early. He was not far from the shore. When Shi Quan was trading with someone just now, he had seen everything through the telescope.
When the people sent by Shi Quan came over, Ye Ying immediately said.
"Leave a three-masted sailing ship and a single-masted boat, and the other ships will continue to search southward along the lakeshore. The two ships and the team here will all be handed over to Shi Quan for care!
"Tell Shi Quan that those newly bought people don't need to get on the boat. Set up a tent by the lake, boil water for them to bathe, change them into new clothes and shoes, let them eat and drink enough every day, teach them to make clothes by the lake, and find a way to get the remaining one hundred men back to me.
"If you can bring this entire tribe to our tribe, I will give you all a great merit. Go."
"Yes!" The messenger team member was immediately happy when he heard that there was a great merit, and hurried back to report to Shi Quan.
Shi Quan is also very smart. He is a small flag officer of the Jinwu Guard. He used to manage several intelligence officers. He is alert and vigilant, and he is quite capable. He immediately understood what Ye Ying meant. Ye Ying wanted him to show more good things to the people of that tribe to attract the rest of them to join.
They have seen the goods of the Han tribe and exchanged a lot of them for population. At present, there are few things that can impress their desire to buy, but Shiquan actually has many big things that he has not taken out.
For example, a magical tool like a car, wouldn't the other party want it?
And technology, technology is also rare, and it is a more expensive thing. If the technology of the Han tribe can attract them, how many people can be exchanged? Or even directly attract them to join? !
Thinking of this, Shiquan suddenly had an idea.
It is winter now. It is impossible to plant by the lake to attract the other party to come and learn and join. It doesn't grow at all in this season.
Build a car by the lake? This is too difficult. You have to cut down trees, saw wood boards, and then build a car. It's too troublesome.
Weave cloth by the lake? Not to mention that they don't have a loom here. Even if there is a loom, there is no hemp rope here!
Looking at the boats floating on the water, Shiquan immediately knew what to do.
