The three-story blue brick tube building, although not a special building, its existence itself is a feature. Where else in the world can you see the same building?
The three people followed Shu Da into the building nervously. The narrow corridor was lined with open classrooms on both sides. Countless tables and chairs could be seen, and the doors were all open.
Because they were all newly made tables and chairs, and they were painted with a lot of tung oil, there were special people responsible for opening the doors and windows every sunny day. At this time, the three people from the taro tribe were a little shocked. They didn’t understand what these carefully made things were used for, but since they were made by the Han tribe, they must be not simple.
When they came to one side of the tube building, Shu Da took the lead and climbed the wooden stairs, and walked up naturally, but the three people from the taro tribe were surprised again. It was made of wood again. The Han tribe seemed to be very good at handling wood. Why was it so difficult for their tribe to carve a javelin?
After sighing for a few words, Yu Tu continued to lead his two tribesmen up. To be honest, they were not at ease walking on this suspended staircase. Fortunately, there were walls and handrails on one side of the staircase, so even if it was the first time to climb this thing, they would not be afraid to go up. After
a lot of effort, they arrived at the third floor. There was another long and narrow corridor. This time, the rooms on both sides were no longer empty, but many people were doing something. Before Yu Tu could observe carefully, Shu Da had already led him to the door of an empty classroom. He knocked on the door a few times gently, and a voice came from the room. As if he had received permission, Shu Da led them into the classroom.
Noda's room was full of tables, chairs and benches. Only a young man sat on the high platform in front. He seemed to have just come of age. He had a golden hair ornament on his head and a fitted white long coat on his body. However, Yu Tu did not know what material the clothes were made of. In short, they were very precious.
The man with golden hair accessories was looking at him, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Are you the leader of the Yu tribe? I heard that you want to exchange some white salt and containers from our tribe, right?"
As the leader of the Han people, Luo Chong naturally would not communicate with the leader of such a small tribe using gestures. That would be too degrading, not to mention now is the time when he should be in high spirits, so he spoke in Chinese, and Shu Da beside him translated with gestures.
"Yes, leader of the Han tribe, thank you for the gift you gave to our tribe. This is a kind of food unique to our Yu tribe. Now I'll give it to you to try."
Yu Tu was very polite. There was no other way. He had entered someone else's lair and could not be impolite. What's more, he had seen the huge strength of the Han tribe with his own eyes. He could only pray that the Han tribe was rich and powerful and would not look down on the population and property of his tribe. Otherwise, they really had no choice but to run away. However, the other side also had the kind of ferocious beasts that were good at running and could carry people, and it seemed that they could not escape even if they ran. This, ah
"Oh, there is a gift?"
Luo Chong was interested when he saw that they actually sent a kind of food. Food was indeed valuable in this day and age, and even the Han tribe was no exception. If Luo Chong had not come here three years ago, maybe the Han tribe would have exchanged a woman for these two baskets of food. After all, in those places that the Han tribe had not yet touched, food was sometimes still scarce.
After walking down the stage, the two warriors from the taro tribe quickly placed the gifts on the ground in front of them for Luo Chong to see. The taro presented as gifts were naturally the best, each one was round and large, and seemed to have been washed with water, so that Luo Chong recognized what it was at a glance.
"This is taro!"
Even though Luo Chong was calm, he couldn't help but be surprised at this time. This was actually taro, which was a magical tool comparable to potatoes. Moreover, each one was the size of an adult man's fist, and each weighed at least one or two kilograms.
Although Luo Chong didn't like to eat this thing and was not familiar with taro, he still had some understanding of this root family crop, that is, high yield.
Taro is not as good as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and does not have an acre yield of thousands or tens of thousands, but compared with the many crops that the Han tribe already had, this is definitely the one with the highest yield.
Now the best rice fields in the Han tribe can barely produce about 800 kilograms per mu. No matter how poor the newly planted corn is, as long as it can be harvested normally, it is estimated that it will not be lower than this figure. If it goes well, it may even exceed 1,000 kilograms. These are considered to be the two mainstream water and land crops in the Han tribe, but compared with the earthy lumps like taro, they are still far behind.
Depending on the variety of modern taro, the minimum yield per mu is about 3,000 jin, and it is normal for more than 6,000 jin. Looking at the size and size of the taro in front of me, if one mu of land is full of this, I dare not say how much more, at least 4,000 jin is needed. If one mu of land is planted, it can catch up with five mu of rice fields.
Although taro is not as popular as potatoes, it can be regarded as a supplementary food. After all, the starch content in it is genuine and can really fill your stomach. Even if you don’t expect to use this thing to completely replace rice, if you catch up with a disaster year, you can use it to save an emergency. I don’t know how many lives it can save.
Luo Chong took one and weighed it in his hand. He felt the heavy weight and was extremely excited, but he was very calm on the surface. Now is not the time to be excited. The important thing is to successfully take down the taro tribe. As long as the taro tribe can be absorbed into the Han tribe, are you still afraid of not knowing the source of this thing? ?
"I like your gift very much. I will accept it on behalf of the Han tribe. Now let's talk about the transaction." Luo Chong pretended to be indifferent and threw the taro back into the basket. He said politely and brought the topic back to the original transaction.
"The Han leader is straightforward. We came here for this matter. I heard from your captain Shu that as long as our tribe sends people to help the Han tribe build houses, the Han tribe can exchange them for some white salt and other good things, such as animal skins, containers, etc."
Seeing that Luo Chong did not take the gift seriously, Yu Tu simply went straight to the point. After all, if they could negotiate a stable supply of white salt this time, their tribe could continue to stay here safely.
"Of course, this is not the first time we have done this. I heard that you have talked to the chief of the Sang clan of our tribe. Then you may have heard that the Sang clan got to know our Han tribe because they worked for us in exchange for supplies." Luo Chong nodded affirmatively, which also dispelled a lot of Yu Tu's worries.
"So what do we need to do for the Han tribe? Just build houses? Houses like the ones in the Han tribe?
And where to build them? If it's in the Han tribe, then we may not be able to come because it's too far away. We can't let our people go so far away." Yu Tu continued to ask.
"Haha, not far, definitely not far, because the place where we build houses is right next to where you live now." Luo Chong grinned, revealing a triumphant smile, which made Yu Tu a little confused.
However, after listening to Shu Da's translation and gestures, he was stunned on the spot, followed by deep fear and uneasiness.
"Leader of the Han tribe, what do you mean by this? Next to where we live? Are you planning to annex our tribe?"
Yu Tu asked with a trembling body. He didn't know whether it was because of anger or fear, but he had to ask this question because he was already in the palm of the Han tribe's hand, and the other side had so many people. If the Han tribe planned to attack his tribe at this time, he couldn't even report the news, and his people wouldn't get the news, and they couldn't even run away.
The final result is obvious. The whole clan must be destroyed. If they want to avoid being killed, the best result is to be forced to join. Just thinking about it makes Yu Tu feel chilled. Could it be that the other party has been planning this plan since the beginning? That's too scary!
I recommend a book, "The Detective in the Steam Age". It's just as the name suggests. It's a detective novel. If you are interested, you can read it. ... But the votes should be left to Lao Yu. No rebuttals will be accepted... Please recommend and vote for me. Thank you for your support.
