Chapter 391: If you don’t manage the household, you won’t know how expensive firewood and

rice are The ninth day of the fourteenth month, the ninth year since the founding of the Teng Tribe.

Early in the morning, just after daybreak, Qie Ye led hundreds of warriors and set off for the Vine Tribe, escorting various materials processed by the Ant Tribe, as well as some animal bones, teeth, herbs, stones and other goods obtained through hunting and gathering.

The Ant Tribe is located on the edge of the Vine Tribe's outer territory. Because they have no totem god, their ability to protect themselves is very weak, and they can only rely on the Vine Tribe to survive for the time being.

"Everyone, hurry up. When the sun rises, the trading area of ​​the Teng tribe will open. If you go too late, the good stuff will be picked up by people from other tribes..."

Qie Ye walked in front holding a stone spear, keeping watch on the surroundings while shouting to the tribesmen who were responsible for transporting supplies.

Qie Ye's words made everyone speed up their pace.

With the full deployment of Teng Tribe's goods, the Teng Tribe trading area became more and more famous and lively. All kinds of goods were in short supply, and many people even took pride in having visited the Teng Tribe trading area to gain some experience.

As a subordinate tribe adjacent to the Vine Tribe, the members of the Ant Tribe felt this change most clearly.

When they first became a subordinate tribe, the members of the Ant Tribe felt awkward and even resistant, because they were once a large tribe with a long history, and everyone had heard countless stories about the tribe's glorious past.

When the former glory faded away, the tribe fell apart and even became a vassal of other tribes. This huge psychological gap made the members of the Ant Tribe feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, when they saw with their own eyes the power and wealth of the Teng Tribe and witnessed the various miracles created by the Teng Tribe, their mentality changed quietly. Some people even began to yearn for the life of the Teng Tribe and were proud to own items produced by the Teng Tribe.

Now, they can't wait to rush to the trading area of ​​the Teng tribe to pick up the good goods in the trading area before other tribes.

The forest was covered with dew in the early morning, and by the time everyone walked out of the vine village, their lower bodies were basically soaked.

A large number of warriors from various tribes and tourists have gathered outside the Teng tribe. Most of them are walking in groups. They seem to be standing in a messy manner, but in fact, they have clear boundaries. Everyone stands close to his companions, and his eyes are very vigilant.

The people of the Ant Tribe stood under the tall vine wall and looked up. They saw the soft sunlight shining on the vine wall. The crystal dewdrops on the vine leaves sparkled in the sunlight, which was very dreamy.

"Get ready to open the door!"

On the tall vine wall, a warrior from the Vine Tribe shouted and blew the horn.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw an extremely shocking scene.

In the center of the Teng tribe, the sacred vine that looked like a towering ancient tree stretched out its branches and leaves towards the morning sun, emitting a faint green divine light.

The terrifying divine power it unintentionally released made all the creatures around the Teng tribe tremble in their souls, and they could not even think of blaspheming it.

After the divine vine awakened, the vine wall that surrounded the entire tribe also changed rapidly.

“Ka-ka-ka…”

At the gate, the thick vines seemed to come alive and began to twist, slowly untangling themselves from their tightly entangled state and shrinking back.

Soon, a huge doorway was formed on the vine wall, allowing people inside and outside the vine tribe to move in and out.

"The door is open, go!"

Qie Ye shouted, then walked into the doorway first with excitement. The members of the Ant Tribe followed him, carrying various goods, and went through the doorway and headed straight for the trading area.

After entering the Teng tribe, the first thing you see is a small canal that surrounds the tribe. Where the canal flows is a row of neat and wide fields.

The grain crops have long been harvested, but the various leafy vegetables are still growing lushly and are very pleasing to the eye.

Next, there are tall and spacious houses outside the fields. In addition to the common wooden houses, there are also mud brick and tile houses unique to the Teng tribe.

Those who come to the Teng tribe for the first time will be deeply shocked by the mud brick and tile houses, because they have never seen a tribe so luxurious as to cover the entire roof with pottery.

Even the roads in the Teng tribe are not the bumpy muddy roads common in other tribes, but smooth roads paved with slag and gravel.

The roads in front and behind the houses are even paved with large bluestone slabs. They are not painful to walk on and are clean and beautiful.

Even though he had been here many times, Qie Ye was still shocked by everything that the Teng Tribe showed, especially those tribesmen of the Teng Tribe who were obviously able to eat enough and were obviously stronger than those of other tribes, which made him extremely envious.

"It would be great if the ant tribe could live like this in the future."

As Qie Ye ran towards the trading area, he expressed his feelings about what he saw and heard along the way, with mixed emotions in his heart.

When we arrived at the trading area, the door was already open and there was a long queue at the place to exchange bronze knife coins.

The tribesmen are used to being free and generally don't follow the rules. But in the Teng Tribe, as long as you still want to do business with the Teng Tribe, you must follow the rules of the Teng Tribe, otherwise you will be expelled immediately.

The Ant Tribe ran faster and did not have to wait in line for long to cut leaves. Members of the Vine Tribe came over to help them count the goods and exchange them for bronze coins.

These members of the Teng tribe were skilled in their work and worked quickly. It didn't take long for them to finish counting the number and weight of all kinds of goods.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the end, Qie Ye obtained one hundred bronze broadsword coins.

According to the current rules of the Teng tribe, one big knife coin can be exchanged for one hundred kilograms of round potatoes, or more than three kilograms of salt.

In other words, one hundred Dadao coins can be exchanged for ten thousand kilograms of round potatoes, or more than three hundred kilograms of salt.

It sounds like this number is not small. The Ant Tribe can be said to have gained a lot from this trip.

However, you have to know that there are currently five or six thousand people in the Ant Tribe, and ten thousand kilograms of round potatoes, if distributed to each person, would be less than two kilograms.

Although Qie Ye had never really learned arithmetic, after many transactions, he knew how many knife coins could buy a certain amount of things.

Therefore, after receiving the heavy bag of knife coins, he was not happy. Instead, he kept thinking back to what his father had said to him: Our life is difficult now, so don’t be greedy for those good things…

Only when you manage a household do you know how expensive firewood and rice are. When Qie Ye truly understood the living conditions of the ant tribe, he realized how difficult it was to lead a tribe to survive in this wild forest.

However, Qie Ye was not a person who only knew how to feel sad about the passing of time. After a brief moment of worry, he took a deep breath and his eyes became firm again.

Since the situation has come to this, all he can do is to do his best to maintain the survival of his people, and then find ways to improve the living conditions of the tribe.

"Come on, follow me in to buy something."

Qie Ye waved his hand, then led the warriors of the Ant Tribe into the trading area, searching for what they needed among the dazzling array of goods.

Thanks to the book friend "閒看苑" for the reward of 1,000 book coins.
