Facts had proven that the charlatan was right. The Otter Tribe and the Qingfeng Tribe were trading Wind Spirit Stones, and they were low-grade Wind Spirit Stones at that. The charlatan had already identified them, so of course he was right.
Wind Spirit Stones were too rare and too hard to find. If Haifan City hadn't opened the East-West Trade Zone, the Qingfeng Tribe would have never found a Wind Spirit Stone.
The core meaning of trade is to exchange what you have. If you think it's useless, it will be of great significance to me. Such a transaction will surely be a happy one for both the Otter Tribe and the Qingfeng Tribe.
Ma Yue wouldn't be jealous. If trade is successful, people will be more likely to trade here. The more trade there is, the more tax revenue Haifan City will earn.
Ma Yue explained that Lei Qing needed thunder and gold spirit stones, Tie Lin needed earth spirit stones, Bing Yueshui and Bing Yueyue needed wood spirit stones, and low-quality ones were also acceptable.
Shang Yin understood that the Sea Tribe could digest these two types of spirit stones. This was their value. The importance of cultivators to the Sea Tribe was obvious. With the basic value established and the psychological pressure removed, they could better expand their trade value.
Of course, Ma Yue's demand for medium-grade spirit stones of both water and fire elements was huge for his cultivation, so he would not trade them away after collecting them. In the Sea Tribe, Ma Yue's demand was a huge matter.
Shang Yin was constantly measuring the value of various spirit stones. At the same time, Chun Wu continued to report back on the spirit stone demand categories of the spiritual cultivators in various regions.
Gradually, spirit stones have almost become a form of currency.
Baipi came back and brought a lot of information about the southern coast. This woman had been away for many years and brought back a large amount of trade.
I saw a large number of ships and donkeys parked on the beach.
This single transaction nearly wiped out Haifan City's entire salt inventory. It was worth it! Of course, it was incredibly worth it. The Hai Tribe even offered a friendly gift of onions, salted radish, chili peppers, and pottery... Tony, the third leader of the Red Tibetan Tribe from the south, was quite satisfied. He was invited by the Three Priests and Luo Bai to a meal he would never forget.
The many tribes of all sizes in the east city trade zone watched helplessly as two thousand donkeys were led into Haifan City. We have salt too!
After being warmly entertained by the Sea Tribe, Tony left Haifan City and was quickly surrounded by numerous tribes of varying sizes in the trading areas. "Do you still want salt? Do you still want to trade donkeys?"
"So, there's salt here." Tony was amazed. It wasn't just salt; the tribes had a wide variety of goods. Leaders weren't fools. Trading solely with the Sea Tribe would likely lead to losses. Multiple choices were certainly a good idea, so...
Tony left behind dozens of people and also occupied a trading point in the east city trade zone.
Ma Yue wasn't worried about other tribes taking over the Hai Tribe's large livestock trade. The Red Tibetan Tribe's willingness to trade here increased the volume of trade, and the Hai Tribe would ultimately benefit. The significance of the trade center was immense.
"Bai Pi, there are so many donkeys in a Red Tibetan tribe?" Ma Yue asked.
"No, I walked to three larger landing estuaries along the southern coastline, and the Hongzang tribe is just one of them. Going deeper into the three estuaries, there are more than three tribes..." Baipi has been running for so many years that he has roughly drawn many distribution maps of large and small tribes on the parchment scroll.
Mainly in coastal areas.
There are many large tribes in the south, but none of them know how to make salt, so the white people seized this great opportunity. There are many tribes here that do make salt, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to trade donkeys on such a large scale in the future.
"Only a thousand strong men?"
"One thousand is not a small number. Wasn't the Wolf God Tribe like that back then? The grassland tribes are basically all in a vassal model. One big tribe plus a bunch of vassal small tribes, which adds up to about two to three thousand cavalrymen." Baipi said.
Thinking back to Wolf's Wolf God Tribe, it was really like that.
The white ship sailed so far, and there were actually grassland tribes there. It can be seen how big the grassland must be.
"Two months of sea travel?"
"This is against the current. If we go with the current, it should be faster." Baipi said, "Most of the tribes over there don't have any ships, and some don't have many. The Red Tibetan Tribe has the most ships, and they can also sail upstream. Therefore, in this trade, the Red Tibetan Tribe is the leader among the many donkey traders."
This makes it understandable that southern tribes like the Red Tibetan tribe are relatively different, mainly because the Red Tibetan tribe has the ability to catch a lot of fish from the sea, so the Red Tibetan tribe has the motivation to develop sea vessels.
To put it bluntly, the Red Tibetan tribe is close to the sea where there are a large number of fish, similar to the fishing industry on the East China Sea Island. Therefore, the Red Tibetan tribe is not a large grassland coastal tribe that mainly relies on animal husbandry, which is why it is possible to trade with the White Tibetan tribe.
"You mean, we still have a chance to seize the initiative?" Shang Yin asked.
"Yes! But we have no salt. How can we trade donkeys over there?" Baipi was helpless. All the salt in Haifan City had been taken out. As for the branch, they had just delivered a batch of salt to Haifan City. How could they have any stock left?
"Potatoes and sweet potatoes won't work either. They're hard to store and will definitely go bad after two months at sea." The storage temperatures and conditions for potatoes and sweet potatoes are different.
The suitable storage temperature for potatoes is 3-5℃; if the temperature is too high, potatoes will sprout or rot, and if the temperature is too low, potatoes will easily be frostbitten and cannot be eaten; as for sweet potatoes, it is even more troublesome. If the temperature is too low in winter, the sweet potatoes will be frozen and have hard cores. If the temperature is too high, they will sprout. A temperature of around 15 degrees is suitable, and pay attention to more ventilation.
Whether it is sweet potatoes or potatoes, the Hai tribe has a large reserve, and the storage cannot be too fine, so every year a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes are wasted in storage.
