"You charlatan, it may become increasingly difficult to buy wildebeests, donkeys and the like in the future," said Big Bad Wolf.
"What happened?" Although Ma Yue asked this, he was mentally prepared. Both crops and livestock were important food resources. This was the primitive world, and food was always in short supply.
It was a pleasant surprise that we were able to exchange livestock such as donkeys, wildebeests, and sheep many times.
"It's definitely not working out over there on the grasslands right now. Even the Flying Donkey Tribe, which loves to trade, is out of stock. The grassland tribe representatives from Seven Hundred City also said that while small shipments of large livestock might be acceptable, large-scale trades like donkeys are out of the question.
They prefer to trade us for salt with things like radishes and corn they grow... As for people, they don't lack them. As for why, they won't tell us, and we don't know.
Gray Wolf also expressed his concerns. In the past, the Sea Tribe had a huge advantage in salt, which was also an important capital for accumulating so many large livestock and sheep.
However, even salt cannot be exchanged for large livestock now.
"It's just that we can't exchange for large livestock, which is still a relatively good situation." The grassland people are farming, and it's really good to be able to exchange for radishes and corn. They are also food and are equally precious.
"Gray Wolf, it seems we're not particularly short of large livestock right now. We have the salt, so why are you worried? If they're really willing to trade it for radishes and corn, that's fine. There are only 500 acres of land in Poseidon City, and the arable land is already very limited. Farming requires a large area of land."
"In short, salt is expensive, so we won't lose out no matter what we exchange it for. If it really doesn't work out, we won't exchange it. We have food back home, and even if we grow less, we still have some. If the salt trade really stops, they'll be the ones who worry."
"To put it bluntly, our Poseidon City can be more or less self-sufficient. Salt is always a seller's market." Ma Yue said, looking at the water bugs. The water bugs had to be rotated back, and Ma Yue's basic information was also transmitted back by the water bugs.
"What the charlatan said makes sense. We have a lot of large animals here, including more than 3,500 adult deer and donkeys. We can cultivate land and produce food, and we can be self-sufficient. No one can catch us." said the third priest.
"There are more large livestock in Poseidon City." The second priest added.
"Since the grassland people want to trade peacefully, can we in Poseidon City farm outside the city?" Shuichong asked.
"It would be best if we could farm outside the city. Shuichong, you can discuss this matter with the High Priest, Luo Bai, and the others when you return. I'm not in Poseidon City, so I don't know the specifics. You need your leaders there to make a decision based on the actual situation."
"Don't worry about making mistakes. We have the capital to tolerate mistakes. We are not afraid of making mistakes."
Ma Yue's intention was clear: if they left the city to farm, even if the grassland people attacked again, at most they would lose some of their crops, and their work would be in vain. The worst possible loss would be that even the wildebeest and donkeys they were farming for would be taken away by the grassland people.
We can afford the loss. If the grassland people continue to be so dishonest, we will not trade salt with you.
"Salt is the most important asset for our survival, so we have the capital to take a gamble. Unless they really don't want salt anymore."
Is it okay without salt? Haha!
"Unless they are truly capable of conquering Poseidon City."
"I see. No wonder the charlatans keep saying that Sea God City is the foundation." Shuichong nodded. "If those grassland people dare to steal another ten kilograms of radishes from us, we'll raise the price of radishes by ten kilograms next time we trade salt."
"Smart!" Ma Yue instantly gave Shuichong a thumbs up. This is the capital of salt.
"Don't worry, Godhead. We will definitely keep a close eye on the defenses of Poseidon City."
Of course, Poseidon City cannot be lost. Even if the focus of the Sea Tribe shifts here, Poseidon City is still an important salt production base, trading base and outlet.
As long as Poseidon City is still there, the trade and communication between it and the grassland people, the Cowhide Tribe, and the Sun City will not be cut off, and the Sea Tribe will be able to exchange for the resources it needs.
No one can exist in isolation.
There are also a lot of soldiers and people in Poseidon City. Since the abandonment of the Seven Hundred Cities, the defense force has become more abundant.
"This world is always changing. At present, the development trend here seems better. However, it is hard to say what changes will happen in the future. Once a major change occurs here, maybe we will migrate back to the Sea God City over there." Ma Yue said this sincerely.
If another major storm strikes, the seashore will undoubtedly be in ruins, with heavy losses. Nature's mood can change at any time, and human intervention is powerless.
What if a powerful enemy suddenly appeared here and the Haifan tribe couldn't hold on? Migrate, leaving Poseidon City behind is a good backup plan. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Including Kirishima, the Haifan tribe really has three burrows, haha!
However, there has not been much progress in the exploration of Kirishima so far, as the area of the Baiwu branch is too small to accommodate a population.
Sea route, it’s great to now connect Poseidon City, Haifan Tribe and Mist Island together.
For the time being, Ma Yue had no intention of invading again. The total population of the three places had already exceeded 10,000. Development needed to be gradual, and there was no need for too much drastic measures.
Ma Yue's decision at the time was very bold, but in fact, the seven hundred cities were wasted.
When it comes to decision-making, who hasn't made mistakes? The Hai Tribe really has the luxury of making mistakes. Of course, not making any mistakes is best. Ma Yue is human, not a god.
"As long as you don't lose Poseidon City, I won't blame you if anything goes wrong." This is Ma Yue's central idea.
The party to welcome Wolfy turned into a development route meeting for Poseidon City.
Yizi and Wu Qi are in charge of the transit station at the coast, which basically has no purpose anymore. It's time to withdraw. Both land and sea transportation there are very difficult, and transportation is the first lifeline...
Yizi and Wu Qi had long since stopped wanting to stay there. Being far away from the main tribe, they felt lonely and had no great future.
The population of the Haifan tribe is nearly 8,000, and the proportion of able-bodied men is also very large. A lot of management personnel are needed, so it is just right to withdraw Yizi and Wu Qi.
"We live by the sea. It would be unreasonable not to get some food from the sea, right?" Ma Yue was still unwilling to give in. In his previous life, he could make a living by fishing at the seaside, and the resources in the sea were extremely abundant.
As for fishing nets, since they didn't have the amazing cables of my past life, straw thread would be fine, right? At least, given its flexibility, it was theoretically possible to weave a fishing net out of straw thread.
"Is this thing really useful?" Wu Qi looked at the large fishing net woven from grass. He had no experience, did he?
"If you don't try, won't you never succeed?"
"There really are fish in the sea. We often see schools of fish when we sail." Yizi and Wu Qi do go out to sea frequently. What's so strange about seeing some large schools of fish?
"After we get some more fishing nets, you two can go out to sea and try. If you can really catch some sea fish and figure out the patterns of fishing nets and sea fish, our Haifan tribe will be truly prosperous in the future." Such a promising career should be left to Yizi and Wu Qi, who are familiar with the sea.
