Of course, when the trading team goes to this tribe, they will not say, "We have dug your mine near your tribe and are now giving you some compensation."

People at that time did not have such a strong concept. In their understanding, as long as they did not rob other tribes' caves, or kill and rob other tribes' prey, there would be no problem.

Stones, which cannot be eaten or worn, are different from fruits and animal cubs.

Fruits, animal cubs and other things are exchanged within the tribe. Once they are found to be useful, if you want to get them again from the tribe, you need to use things like salt as exchange. However, for stones, this is not necessary at all.

Regardless of whether the stone is useful to the tribe or not, after exchanging it once, when obtaining it again, it will never be exchanged with these tribes for anything else.

This is because the people from the Qingque tribe will come and mine in person, instead of exchanging them from people from these tribes as before.

The members of the trading team went to the tribe at this time just to conduct a normal transaction, and to use canned food and other things to cultivate a good relationship with the minors in the tribe.

After all, they haven't been to this tribe for a long time. It is very necessary for them to come to the nearby area to mine stones and do such things while they are at it.

The arrival of the Green Bird Tribe's trading team brought a lot of joy to the people of the tribe, especially the minors who were eating sweet and sour canned food.

These minors were eating happily, and Shang, Mao and others were also laughing happily. When they looked at these minors, their eyes were full of smiles, as if they were looking at their own silly sons.

Not too far from the stream, Mao and another part of the trading team were wielding copper axes and chopping down trees vigorously.

With the bronze axe, they could cut down trees much faster.

They cut down the trees one by one and cut them into lengths of about three meters.

These tree trunks and some thicker branches were tied together with relatively flexible branches to make rafts.

These rafts are used to carry stones.

This is the solution Han Cheng came up with.

Moving something like stone by land is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task before proper roads are built and two-wheeled or four-wheeled deer carts or other vehicles with high load-carrying capacity are constructed.

Han Cheng had truly experienced this when he led people to transport ore back from Tongshan.

Now, the place where the limestone exists is close to a stream, and the flow of this stream is not bad. It is also connected to the lower reaches of the small river in front of the tribe. It would be a bit too much for Han Cheng if he didn't know to take the water route.

Cutting down trees to make rafts here is a very good thing. On the one hand, when coming here, the members of the trading team don't have to drag many rafts all the way against the current, which can save a lot of hard work.

Secondly, these rafts that carry themselves back along with the stones are also very useful.

Some of them grow tall and straight, and are of suitable thickness and can be used as beams and other building materials.

Some of the ones that are not so useful can be used to make charcoal. Even if that doesn’t work, they can still be used to make fire for cooking, and then the ashes can be put into the fields to fertilize the soil.

Words and phrases like "precise calculation" and "grab a handful of mud before getting up even after falling to the ground" can be fully applied to Han Cheng at this moment.

Before joining the trade team, Shang's main business in the Qingque tribe was stone mining, so now that he was allowed to go back to his old job, he did it particularly smoothly.

After moving all the scattered and easier-to-carry stones to the creek, under his leadership, another group of people began to burn the stones with fire. After they were burned to boiling hot, they poured cold water on them.

While they were doing these things, there were quite a few minors running around.

Or follow Mao and others to get branches.

Or they would hold a pottery jar and follow Shang and others to fetch water from the stream to the side of the stone, waiting to be splashed with water on the stone, or they would hold some small stones and carry them to the side of the stream...

Not only them, but even the female primitive people who stayed in the tribe to dig wild vegetables or catch fish to eat, mostly came here to dig wild vegetables.

In between digging for wild vegetables, I would stand aside and watch the members of the trading team doing these strange yet seemingly very organized things.

Some lively female primitive people would sometimes join in like these minors.

There are men, women, and some lively children. They look like people from a tribe.

These minors like this kind of life and like to get along with these friendly people.

I like to watch them quickly cut down a thick tree, and I like to watch them tie up the cut trees that they used to take a long time to break side by side and then carry them into the stream.

Things like this will not sink to the bottom when placed in water, and people can even stand on them.

They were particularly amazed at being able to stand on the water without sinking.

It wasn't just this that surprised them. They were also amazed by the beautiful tool that was extremely sharp and could cut down a tree very quickly.

The most amazing thing is not these, the most amazing thing is the cracked stones in the smoke and heat wave!

It is amazing that such a solid stone can be moved in this way!

Even though many of them have participated in this event, they still feel excitement and surprise every time they see this spectacular sight.

Through such contacts, they learned more about the Qingque tribe.

It turns out that the people of this tribe, besides being very wealthy and friendly, also possess so many amazing things.

The more I know, the more I yearn for the Qingque tribe.

After participating in these labors and experiencing the life of the Qingque tribe, these minors, even including many adult female primitive people, unconsciously compared the life of the Qingque tribe with that of their own tribe.

The result of the comparison is that the monotonous and repetitive life in his own tribe is not as desirable as the novel lifestyle of the Qingque tribe.

Although they didn't know why the people of this tribe cut down trees and got so many stones.

At noon, the members of the trading team began to eat lunch, which basically did not exist in this era. The minors and women of the tribe would be given some.

Shang, Mao and the others didn't feel bad about the food they distributed, thinking that when these people came to the tribe, they would grow more food...
