Han Cheng looked at the people around him, and then thought about the unknown tribe that also possessed bronze weapons. For a moment, he didn't know how to express his feelings.

From the perspective of future generations and the direction of human history development, he should be very happy about the current situation.

But as a person who was brought into this era and lives here, he doesn't want to see such things.

At least they don't want it to appear near the living area of ​​their tribe.

Because this is a rather dangerous thing.

Competition is everywhere. When facing other weak tribes, that unknown tribe might live in harmony with them, just like now, they would use pottery jars, salt soil and other things to trade with the people of the tribe in front of them.

But when they encounter another more powerful tribe, things will definitely not be so peaceful.

For example, Han Cheng himself.

After suddenly learning of such news, he was also thinking about various things. Even if the unknown tribe did not think as much and as far-reaching as he did, they would gradually realize these problems.

When the two tribes meet, unpleasant things may happen.

Especially when both sides have extremely abundant production surpluses relative to that era.

Take the people back? Leave here? Abandon this place?

As soon as this thought appeared in Han Cheng's mind, he threw it out of his mind without hesitation.

It is impossible to give up this place, I will never give up no matter what.

Not to mention the initial investment that he and his people had spent a lot of energy on here, the mere fact that the weather might continue to get colder was enough to completely put an end to this idea.

This is the place their tribe is going to build to live and fight the severe cold. If they abandon this place, what should they do if the temperature continues to drop?

Does this mean that I have to lead the people of the tribe and continue to travel through mountains and rivers to find a new and more suitable place to live, and then start all over again?

Let’s not talk about whether we can find such a place in a short time. Even if we really find it, how can we guarantee that there are no tribes similar to the tribe whose name is still unknown around it?

If this is true, what should we do next?

Is it possible that he will continue to migrate with the tribe?

For many things, you can't just avoid them blindly. You need to face them bravely. This is the real solution.

Simply avoiding things will only make things worse and more troublesome, and will gain nothing.

Moreover, although I, a person from the future, do not have any golden fingers, my brain is filled with many things that are many years ahead and ahead of the people of this era. With these things, if I am still timid and frightened by the civilization born in this era, it will really bring shame to the army of time travelers, and I can be expelled from the group.

Thinking about this in his mind, Han Cheng's thoughts gradually became clear.

No matter what, the key is to build yourself up as quickly as possible and become strong.

Many times, many things are like this. As long as you become stronger, the rest of the things will be solved easily and there will be no problem.

As for that tribe whose name is still unknown, it would be fine if they don't provoke me, but if they really provoke me, I will just take up arms and fight them.

Of course, it’s just thinking this way, but when it comes to actually doing things, we still have to pay attention to methods and strategies.

"Mao, ask them again whether there were many people when they were trading with them."

Han Cheng thought for a while and spoke, continuing to explain things to Mao.

Mao followed Han Cheng's instructions and continued to ask the older female primitive people about these matters.

After understanding the meaning of "Mao", the older female primitive and some primitive people around her who also understood the meaning of "Mao" became distressed.

They haven't learned how to count yet and don't know how to express the specific number of people.

I only know that there are quite a few of them, but I don’t know exactly how many there are.

On the one hand, it was because they did not know how to count and did not remember the exact number of people. On the other hand, it had been a long time since the last time those people came. They did not pay much attention to such things at the time and could not remember clearly now.

After trying hard to recall for a while and talking with other people around her, the older female primitive began to gesture with her fingers.

After a long and confusing gesture, Mao finally understood the number of people who had gone to trade with the older female primitive people's tribe, and hurriedly told Han Cheng.

"About forty to seventy? And they're all adults?"

After getting Mao's answer, Han Cheng muttered softly here.

It seems that what I thought before was correct. A tribe that can develop bronze is indeed not too simple. It is not comparable to the tribes I encountered before.

Just for external trade, they can send out so many adults at once, which means that the number of adults in that tribe is far more than this number.

While Han Cheng was thinking about the matter, the older female primitive who answered the question, as well as the people from her tribe, all looked unconsciously at the two black-burnt pottery jars and the gourd filled with salt soil placed not far from Mao's feet.

There was desire and anxiety in his eyes.

They hope to regain these extremely precious things that belong to their tribe, and are worried that these people will snatch these precious things away and never return them to them.

As for whether these two things would be destroyed, they were not too worried.

Because these two things are really too precious.

They understand the preciousness of these two things and don't believe that anyone can destroy such precious things.

Han Cheng, who was thinking about things, thought of some other things.

The reason why he felt pressured by the unknown tribe was, on the one hand, because he knew that the other party had bronze, but more importantly, it was because he knew too little about them and didn't know how developed the tribe was or how many people it had.

Just as he often said, unknown things are terrifying, and people always unconsciously exaggerate them and make up stories with their imaginations.

After hearing some news about that tribe, he inevitably fell into various speculations.

As a person who always has a sense of crisis, Han Cheng basically guessed the worst possible scenarios.

In fact, it is easy to resolve this issue. All we need to do is to contact that tribe and get to know their strengths and weaknesses thoroughly.

Once you have a clear idea of ​​what is going on, the current situation will not occur.

The highest level of military strategy is to know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

However, it is very difficult to find a tribe in such an era.

Otherwise, in the spring, Shuba, who once lived in the main tribe, would not have led the people of the Blackrock Alliance to the Copper Mountain residential area.

Moreover, the tribe has not yet completely established its foothold here. The most important thing to do now is to build Jinguan City as quickly as possible and develop the paddy fields at the same time. Under such circumstances, it is obviously not appropriate to send a certain number of people to do this.

While thinking about these things in his mind, Han Cheng's eyes fell on the older female primitives squatting on the ground, and gradually he came up with an idea.

This is not something they are suitable to do now, but they can ask people from other tribes to do it.

The people in front of us are good candidates.

These people live here, and their understanding of the surrounding environment must be better than that of himself and others. In any case, they know the locations of other tribes to some extent, and have also traded with that unknown tribe.

With this in mind, Han Cheng asked someone to bring out a few clay jars and a jar of salt from the room.

Someone took the order and came out of the room after a while. The crowd opened a small passage, and several people carrying pottery jars and holding salt jars came here. According to Han Cheng's instructions, they placed these things next to the two pottery jars and gourds filled with salt owned by the tribe in front of them.

The older female primitive who had just been thinking about what Han Cheng meant and what those people were going to do when they left, immediately stopped thinking about these things, because all her mind was attracted by the amazing scene in front of her, leaving her with no other thoughts to think about anything else.

The older female primitive people had their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open. The reactions of all the people in their tribe were similar to those of the older female primitive people.

Some people's breathing became rapid, while others forgot to breathe.

But no matter whether they were breathing or not, at this moment, their hearts were filled with shock.

There was a lot of disbelief in the shock.

The tribe in front of us actually possesses such a precious instrument? !

Moreover, their utensils for cooking food look big and round, and extremely beautiful.

Compared with the utensils these people brought out, the two extremely rare and precious pottery pieces of their tribe suddenly looked ugly.

The key point is that they actually have so many of these beautiful and extremely precious things!

Just as the older female primitives were in continuous shock, Han Cheng spoke again.

After a while, the people blocking the direction of the slave hut opened a passage, which was right in front of the door of the slave hut.

At the door of the slave cabin, there was a piece of pottery. These were the ones Han Cheng and his companions brought with them to use on the road. If one counted the bowls for each person, there were about 160 or 170 pieces of pottery, large and small.

In order to achieve a stronger visual impact and cause a stronger shock to these people, Han Cheng even specially asked people to take away the bowls that were originally piled there and place them there individually one by one.

The older female primitives did not understand for a moment why these people who had surrounded them suddenly made such a strange move and created such a path.

Squatting on the ground, driven by curiosity, they reluctantly shifted their gaze away from the exquisite pottery in front of them, which made them reluctant to look away, and looked at the separated gap.

Then these people were collectively stunned, with shock and surprise clearly written on each of their faces.

The exquisite pottery pieces before them were enough to shock them, and they all thought that these were all the pottery owned by this strange tribe.

However, at this moment, they realized that they were all wrong. That was only a small part of the exquisite pottery owned by this tribe. They had much more pottery!

Although they had seen people from other tribes marvel at the pottery of their own tribe more than once, the people of the Qingque tribe still felt it was extremely wonderful and felt comfortable all over.

This thing is just like the primitive tune used to kill time at night. Although I hum it often, I never get tired of it and never get enough of it.

“And this.”

At Han Cheng's signal, Mao took two steps forward, blocking the men's gaze from looking toward the entrance of the slave yard. He reached out and took a sealed jar, and opened it, revealing the salt crushed in a stone mortar inside.

After revealing the salt in the jar, Mao picked up the gourd that the older primitive people used to hold salt, poured out some, and placed the hand holding the salt flush with the salt jar.

His actions quickly attracted the attention of the older female primitives.

After realizing what was inside the large, exquisite pottery, the older female primitives were once again shocked...

This white stuff of theirs looks different from the things that their tribe exchanged from that tribe, and it is definitely not as delicious as those from their tribe.

The stunned older female primitive discovered some differences between the two, so she comforted herself in this way.

However, she soon realized how wrong her thoughts were.

The white stuff from this tribe tastes delicious, not bitter, and not sandy or gritty to hurt your teeth.

While the older female primitive people were marveling at the sight, at Han Cheng's signal, several people from the Qingque tribe brought a dozen jars of similar size from the door, placed them here, and then opened them. They were filled with salt.

This time, Han Cheng brought a lot of salt. Salt is something that not only they need to eat, but also the livestock in the tribe need to eat.

Moreover, unlike food, if they don’t have enough food, they can get some from the wild. But if they don’t have enough salt, there is no way to replenish it if they don’t know where the salt mines are. In addition, they will need to stay here for a long time, so they carry a lot.

The brains of the older female primitives are no longer enough.

Before, she thought that the richest tribe in the world was the tribe that traded with them. Now, she discovered that there was a tribe richer than that tribe.

The pottery of this tribe in front of them was more exquisite than that tribe, and all the white things were more delicious than that tribe. In their opinion, this meant that they were richer than that tribe.

If only my tribe could have these...
