The next day, Xia sent ten people to follow Meng Yuqing to trade with the people of the Huangshi tribe.
Last night, Xia told them some information about the Yellowstone Tribe. It was a larger tribe than the Qingshan Tribe, with a total population of more than 1,300 people. The Yellowstone was a kind of stone unique to their tribe.
This kind of stone is very strange, just like a plant, if you take it away this year, new ones will appear the next year, so there is no need to worry about it running out. Meng Yuqing was really surprised when he heard this, it was really amazing.
There was once a tribe of 1,500 people who wanted to seize the location of the Yellowstone Tribe and occupy the yellow light stone production area, but they were beaten away by the Yellowstone Tribe. Their tribe was very powerful.
Yellow light stone is also very popular among the three major tribes, but for some reason this year, the amount of salt that can be exchanged for one piece of yellow light stone is much less than in previous years, and there are still some left that have not been collected by other tribes, which is why Meng Yuqing got lucky.
"No matter what happened to them, we are doing a legitimate transaction. Just be careful. We will leave here early anyway, and we can just change the location next time we come." Xia said indifferently.
Ever since the Qingshan tribe acquired the salt mine, they no longer stayed at fixed stalls when they came to the market, and they never told the name of their tribe to tribes they didn't know.
As for how he was able to find out the news about the Yellowstone Tribe, it was entirely because the Yellowstone Tribe was really famous. Moreover, their tribe was quite powerful and not very low-key. They were a well-known tribe in front of the three major tribes.
However, the Yellowstone tribe's style is indeed quite good, and I have never heard of them bullying weaker tribes.
Meng Yuqing and Xuan took the things to the Huangshi tribe's stall, and Jie was waiting there early.
"Here are three hundred pieces of yellow light stones, take a look." Jie handed over the animal skin bag without any further ado.
After Xuan took it, he also handed over what Jie and the others wanted. "This bag contains 200 bars of ordinary soap, and this bag contains 105 bars of toilet soap. We counted them yesterday. You should also calculate the quantity to see if it's correct."
Jie took the bag handed to him by Xuan and poured ordinary soap on the animal skin on the ground in piles of five. He then asked another orc to pour scented soap on another piece of animal skin in piles of three.
After all the piles were completed, he counted them carefully and said, "Yes, there are 75 piles. You counted correctly."
After packing the soap and the toilet soap separately, he looked at Xuan and Meng Yuqing and said, "If you still want Huangshi next year, come and tell us the day before the market opens."
"Okay, how about we trade based on the amount of salt we brought? This is the fairest way." Meng Yuqing suggested.
"No problem, this is good, no one will suffer any loss." Jie handed the soap to the other orcs and said with a smile.
After the transaction, everyone left the Huangshi tribe's stall. Xuan handed the yellow light stone to other tribesmen and said, "You can take your things back first. We still need to visit other places. It's enough for four of us to stay here."
After waiting for Huang Guangshi's tribesmen to leave, Meng Yuqing randomly picked a direction to take a walk. Because of the location, there were many more things here.
He pulled Xuan around the stalls, looking at these things with interest.
There are many rare plants, such as grass that makes a sound when you pinch it. If you keep pinching it, it will make different sounds, a bit like primitive music. There are also flowers that twist when you touch them. These plants were all picked and not planted in the soil.
Meng Yuqing was stunned when he saw it, but fortunately, although he was curious, he was not prepared to take it off. He just wanted to watch it for the sake of novelty.
There was a commotion coming from the front. Meng Yuqing looked up and found that there was a stall not far away with a lot of people crowded around it. They were looking at the stall, pointing and talking about something, and many people walked out with frowns on their brows.
"Shall we go over there and take a look?" Meng Yuqing pointed at the stall in front and looked at the other four orcs who followed him out.
After all, this was Xuan's first time at the market, and he might not be able to make accurate judgments on some things. Most of the time, the two of them would seek the opinions of the other four experienced tribesmen.
"Yes, there are so many people over there, so generally nothing will happen. Maybe they just brought some rare things." said the oldest orc.
After getting their consent, Meng Yuqing stopped hesitating and pulled Xuan over.
When he approached the stall, he was completely blocked by so many people that he couldn't see inside at all.
"Xuan, can you see what's inside?" He stretched his neck and stood on tiptoe, but it was all in vain. All he could see was the back of the orc.
"Let me take a look." Xuan handed Meng Yuqing to the other four tribesmen and squeezed inside.
Meng Yuqing stayed outside obediently waiting for news, looking around from time to time to see if Xuan had come out.
Soon, Xuan squeezed out of the crowd. Like some orcs who had left before, he frowned and had some anger in his eyes.
Meng Yuqing immediately walked over upon seeing this and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? What's inside? Why do you look like that?"
After Xuan grabbed him, he made a glare at the other four orcs, and the six of them walked to the side.
After reaching a less crowded place, Xuancai released Meng Yuqing and said with suppressed anger, "They're actually trading orcs and sub-beasts in there."
! ?
"What? Human trading?" Meng Yuqing was shocked by what Xuan said.
The other four orcs also opened their eyes wide instantly, their faces filled with disbelief. "Why are they trading humans again?"
"The last time there was a personnel transaction was two years ago."
"They are coming more and more frequently. They used to only appear once every seven or eight years."
"It's all the bad habits brought over by the northern tribes. Human trafficking has never happened here before."
Although they didn't know the reason, they instinctively resisted this kind of thing.
But Meng Yuqing knew that once this trend became popular, the continent would usher in a slave society. No, perhaps the northern tribes they were talking about had already begun this social system.
This system would be a nightmare for weak tribes.
From the scattered news he had heard about the northern tribes, he knew that the tribal groups in the north were likely to be stronger and more advanced than the tribal groups in the south where he was.
If the northern tribes have any ideas about this side, then the entire southern tribal group will face a disaster.
Moreover, Qiu Ye said that the salt mines of the three major tribes had once attracted a northern tribe to fight for them, but they were eventually beaten back. Then a northern tribe dared to come to the southern tribes to fight for the salt mines. . . .
Thinking of this, Meng Yuqing couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and the animal skin coat on his body was unconsciously wrinkled by him.
