"So for the sake of fairness and to prevent anyone in the tribe from being lazy, I decided to change the way I rule the tribe."
Everyone was a little nervous, but no one said anything, just looked at Su Yuan quietly.
"From now on, I will only provide you with the most basic food, which is two potatoes per meal. The rest of the supplies will need to be purchased by you with coins."
"coin?"
Su Yuan placed several large bags of copper coins in front of him. There were small copper coins with the words "10" written on them, representing 10,000 coins per coin, large copper coins with the words "10" written on them, representing 3,000 coins per coin, as well as 100 small silver coins representing 10,000 copper coins and 30 large silver coins representing 1,000 copper coins per coin.
This is because he temporarily issues a certain amount of currency for circulation based on the number of people in the tribe, and then increases or decreases it after observing the currency circulation and changes in the number of people in the tribe.
"From now on, everyone can use these coins to exchange for supplies. For example, if you want to eat animal meat, you can buy a piece from the hunting team for the corresponding coins. If you want to earn coins, you can make something and sell it to others."
The first to react were the witches and awakened warriors. Many of them had participated in bartering with other tribes and understood the principle of bartering.
"Chief, is it something like adding a coin to a barter?" one of the witches asked.
"You could say that."
"Then why can't we just let everyone barter?"
"Bartering can easily lead to many problems. For example, if you want to exchange a clay pot, but you don't have something of equal value, would you be willing to trade a wizard's staff for a clay pot?"
"No...I don't want to."
"Then your wizard's staff is worth a thousand clay pots. Are you willing to exchange it for a thousand clay pots?"
The witch blushed immediately after being named and quickly shook her head, saying, "Neither...nor do I want to."
"So what do you think would be a good exchange for the clay pot?"
"A piece of animal meat?"
"But what if she doesn't need the meat?"
"this......"
The little beast girl was confused by Su Yuan's questions. Her brain started to freeze and her eyes were flashing with golden flowers. If she asked any more questions, her brain CPU would probably smoke.
"And it's very hard to have a situation where 'I have something you need, and you have something I need'. If everyone exchanges their things for coins, and coins can be used to buy anything, then there's nothing to worry about, right?"
“Amazing!”
Everyone looked confused, analyzing the meaning of Su Yuan's words in their heads. After a while, a beast girl weakly raised her hand to ask a question.
"Chief, what if... we don't know anything and can't make any money?"
"There are many ways to make money. From now on, several hunting leaders will be promoted to captains, each forming their own hunting team. After selling the food from the hunt, the money will be distributed reasonably among the team members."
"You can earn coins daily by guarding the territory in the tribe. In addition, you can also sell your homemade pottery pots, wooden barrels, or delicious food in exchange for coins."
Su Yuan pointed to the empty platform on the slope in the distance. The platform had been empty before because he planned to turn it into a trading center, so it has been empty until now.
"From now on, everyone will trade there. You can trade your own axes, barrels, foraged game, and hunted food there."
"As for the price, trade is free, and everyone can make their own analysis and decisions based on the price of the items I sell."
