A group of people are walking among the mountains and forests.

The eldest brother and other people from the Green Bird tribe were holding weapons such as rattan shields, spears, bows and arrows. The people from the Donkey tribe also had some weapons, but more of them were carrying a large number of skins.

These skins were to be carried back to the Qingque tribe for trade in exchange for pottery, salted fish and other things.

The eldest brother scratched his head secretly as he walked. He really couldn't understand where in the donkey tribe there were so many skins.

Since the beginning of spring, they have changed the leather no less than four times, and they can still come up with so many leathers.

The Donkey Tribe is not that strong. At a previous party, the eldest brother and the leader of the Donkey Tribe had their eyes on a woman from the Green Tribe at the same time. The eldest brother knocked the leader of the Donkey Tribe down without much effort.

With such fighting power, how could they possibly kill so many prey and obtain so many skins?

The leader of the Donkey Tribe saw the puzzled look on the face of his eldest brother and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

In the past, it was always your tribe that surprised us, now it's our turn to surprise you.

The leader of the Donkey Tribe was very proud and couldn't help but think of the incident that changed the fate of their tribe.

This happened when the ice and snow had not completely melted this year.

A group of people who came out to hunt in the cold weather because they did not have enough stored food came near their tribe.

Because of their bad luck, this group of people almost died of hunger and cold.

They were discovered by the people of the Donkey Tribe, and the leader of the Donkey Tribe recognized that they were people from a tribe neighboring theirs.

It has to be said that the donkey tribe leader is not very strong in hunting, but he is still a very kind-hearted person.

They brought those people back to their tribe, boiled hot water in clay pots and gave them some fruits to eat.

After drinking the warm fruit soup, these people who were almost frozen to death recovered. After experiencing the benefits of the clay pots themselves, they asked for the pots.

There were only two pottery jars in the Donkey Tribe, and they were obtained from the Green Bird Tribe by tightening their belts. The leader of the Donkey Tribe treasured them like precious eggs, so naturally he was unwilling to give them to them.

The neighboring tribes, having experienced the benefits of the pottery jars firsthand, were very envious of them and wanted one no matter what.

As the dispute went on, the leader of the Donkey Tribe suddenly had an idea and thought of a solution.

He knew this tribe. Their hunting level was higher than theirs, so they must have accumulated a lot of furs and other things.

These two pottery jars were obtained by him from the Qingque tribe using the furs of the tribe. If he had enough furs and food, he could also exchange pottery jars from that wealthy tribe.

In this case, why can't I let them exchange their furs from me?

This sudden flash of inspiration opened a new door for the leader of the Donkey Tribe, allowing the tribe to embark on the path of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

At the beginning, the leader of the Donkey Tribe only traded with this tribe, and the object of the transaction was only pottery. Later, after thinking about it, he also pushed out salt, the supreme delicacy.

You can't just catch a sheep and pluck its wool.

After squeezing almost all of the skins that the tribe had stored up, the leader of the Donkey Tribe, who had already tasted the sweetness of it, naturally was unwilling to go back to his old life.

After thinking hard for a while, another idea popped into my mind.

In addition to this tribe, I can also trade with other tribes!

So the leader of the donkey tribe took the pottery, salt, food and people from the tribe and headed towards the nearby tribe.

The sales method was the same as Han Cheng's original method. After arriving at other tribes, they used pottery jars to cook food with salt and gave it to several nearby tribes that had never seen pottery and salt.

The method was surprisingly effective. The people of those tribes easily accepted pottery and salt...

Of course, he did not go to the Sheep Tribe which was closer to his tribe...

This is often the case. The occurrence of an event is a combination of both randomness and inevitability.

For example, the donkey tribe suddenly became middlemen.

While the Donkey Tribe was feeling proud and happy, the eldest brother and his men were getting closer and closer to the Green Bird Tribe.

At the same time, the Sheep Tribe and the Green Tribe also approached, having completed the grids on the pottery plate.

…

In front of the gate of the Qingque tribe courtyard, a piece of open space has been completely cleared, and the platform of about four square meters has been built and is large enough for people to stand.

In the eyes of the old man from the Qingque tribe, this is not a platform at all, it is clearly a kang!

Therefore, speculations about holding a happy party and selecting the best people to do something about it became more and more popular.

The first to arrive were the Donkey Tribe, as well as the eldest brother and others who returned with the people of the Donkey Tribe.

After seeing the arrangements in front of the gate of the Green Bird Tribe, the leader of the Donkey Tribe was visibly stunned. He obviously didn't understand what useless thing this wealthy neighboring tribe was going to do.

This thought only lasted for a short time and then disappeared.

Compared to these, he was more concerned about the exchange that was about to take place.

The leader of the Donkey Tribe, who was fully focused on the transaction, did not notice the great difference between the Green Bird Tribe.

Unexpectedly, the people of the donkey tribe are quite smart and started to act as middlemen.

No wonder people suddenly become wealthy after the Chinese New Year, and no wonder eating salt is as easy as eating rice. It turns out the root of the problem is here.

After hearing what the eldest brother had seen and heard in the Donkey Tribe, Han Cheng patted his forehead lightly.

How could I have forgotten about this!

This may be difficult for the eldest brother to imagine, but it is not difficult for Han Cheng, who came from the future and experienced the era when economy was supreme.

He told his eldest brother and the witch about the Donkey Tribe's behavior as middlemen.

The two thought for a while and then looked enlightened.

After suddenly realizing it, the eldest senior brother suddenly became a little unhappy.

Not only him, Wu was also unhappy.

"Son of God, don't give him salt and pottery..."

The eldest brother expressed his thoughts.

Han Cheng asked the reason, and the eldest brother said that the Donkey Tribe actually took things from their Green Bird Tribe to make a profit...

The witch had a similar idea, thinking that the Donkey Tribe was at a disadvantage by doing this.

After Han Cheng understood what they meant, he couldn't help but smile. It was not surprising that Wu and the senior brother had such thoughts.

After all, the benefits that the Donkey Tribe has gained from this are obvious.

But they only saw the benefits that the Donkey Tribe made from it, but ignored the benefits that their own tribe gained from this transaction.

The few tribes that have direct trade relations with the Qingque tribe are small in scale and low in development level, so it is difficult for them to have too many surplus supplies.

After several trades, they had basically been squeezed out by the Green Bird Tribe.

Under such circumstances, if the Qingque tribe wants to continue to gain things from trade, it needs to continue to develop new tribes.

This is a very time-consuming and laborious task, and it is easy to encounter danger while traveling between tribes.

And it won’t work if the number of people is too small.

The Green Bird Tribe currently has a lot of things to do and cannot spare the manpower to do this. In this case, why not let the people of the Donkey Tribe continue to be the middlemen?

This is a great thing that is in their favor.

As for the Donkey Tribe making profits from it, this is inevitable. If there is no profit, the Donkey Tribe will not do these things.
