Chapter 78

Although the stone bear wanted to talk to the two English officers, he couldn't do it now.

The rules of the tribe can't be changed now, so it's only Lilei, the leader of the whole tribe, who comes forward to negotiate with these representatives of vasichu.

Stone bear knows very well that with his present prestige, even if he talks with the two English officers, no one will say anything, but it's not good at all. The more prestigious people are, the more they should pay attention to their own way of doing things, especially breaking the rules. If they can do nothing, they will not do it. This thing really spoils their prestige.

Especially the stone bear, whose body contains a soul from more than 250 years later, especially likes to change the present situation. But if we want to change, we will inevitably break the rules. Once or twice, maybe no one cares, but more, it will inevitably lead to a series of unnecessary accidents.

If you want to change the rules or break the existing rules, you have to wait until the conditions are right. Well, for example, you are in full control of the tribe, or you become the leader of the tribe or even the chief of the Cherokee

When the two English officers left, red cloud and stone bear walked towards the wooden house where Li Lei lived.

The real trade will not start until three or four days later. Vasichu's trading team will only come here, and they will not go west again. So the small tribes around the gaoshu tribe have to be informed one by one, and the real transaction will not start until the small tribes arrive at the gaoshu tribe with their things.

Of course, as the vasichus who bring a lot of rare things to the gaoshu tribe, even if they can't get the right to live in the tribe's wooden house, they have absolutely no problem eating. The gaoshu tribe will prepare enough meat and food for the more than 20 vasichus, and will also send soldiers to guard them.

"Chief, what did the vasichus bring this time? Is there anything particularly noteworthy? " In private, Hongyun is very relaxed in front of LiLei, not only because she is a kabulu sacrifice, but also because Lilei is her uncle.

Although it has been a while since taking over the kabulu sacrifice, Hongyun's mentality has not been completely adjusted, which takes a certain amount of time.

Li Lei has no idea about Hongyun. It seems that the relationship between mother and uncle is not only popular in China, but also in this stupid and backward Indian tribe.

Li Lei seemed to be in a good mood. He said with a smile: "basically, it's no different from the goods traded three months ago. It's just iron, cotton, wine, the kind of green crystal that vasichu called glass and so on. Oh, by the way, this time the vasichus said that they also brought two new kinds of seeds, like rice and cotton... "

When he heard the words "rice" and "cotton", the stone bear's eyes lit up immediately. When he saw that Hongyun no longer asked questions, he immediately asked, "chief, do you really have the seeds of rice and cotton?"

Li Lei gives a strange look at the stone bear. He has never seen this young man who looks young but actually has a very sophisticated mind. This kind of expression appears on his face, but Li Lei still nods, "yes, the leader of vasichu trading team says there are two kinds of seeds. What, are these two seeds important? "

Without hesitation, Shi Xiong said directly: "yes, chief, these two kinds of seeds are actually the seeds of two crops. Rice can produce a kind of grain called rice. The yield should be similar to that of wheat. The key is that the taste of rice is very good. As for the cotton seed, the fruit produced after planting can be turned into cotton after a series of processing! The raw materials used in the cotton cloth traded by vasichus are produced by this kind of crop! "

Hongyun and Lilei's face changed greatly. The rice should be put aside first, but the cotton cloth is really a good thing. If the tribe can produce cotton cloth, then the people will not have to exchange precious fur for cotton cloth every year.

Li Lei asked in a deep voice: "guardian, what you said is true?"

"Yes, absolutely true. So chief, we have to take down the seeds of these two crops, which will enhance the strength of our tribe

Li Lei and Hong Yun look at each other. Hong Yun says, "chief, since the guardian has said so, we will take these seeds first. We've got enough. "

Li Lei nodded, "we have enough things, but seeds have always been the tightest thing that the vasichus hold. If we want to exchange these seeds, we need to pay a great price."

Hongyun said, "it doesn't matter. We can afford to pay more for fur."

Li Lei nodded, but the stone bear on one side said with a smile: "leader, kabulu sacrifice, in fact, we don't need to use more fur, precious stones and yellow iron to exchange the things that vasichu brought."

"How is that possible? What the vasichus want most are yellow iron and precious stones, followed by fur. If we don't exchange these things for what they bring, they won't exchange them for us... "Li Lei suddenly thought of something and changed his face." guardian, you'd better not try to rob or kill these vasichus. If we do, then these vasichus won't come to our tribe to trade in the future, We want to get the things of vasichu, either we take the goods to the royal court to exchange them, or we go to the places where vasichu people live in the east to exchange them. And either of these two ways is a way of consuming food and manpower. We can't do that. "

"Chief, I think you misunderstood me. I didn't want to rob these vasichos, let alone kill them now. I mean, we have something better than fur in our hands now. Why don't we trade it for it? "

"Something better than fur?" Li Lei and Hong Yun wonder, if there is such a good thing, why don't we know?

"Yes, it's more popular than fur. The value of this kind of thing itself is not high, but those vasichu people urgently need this kind of thing, so the popularity of this kind of thing on vasichu's side can even be compared with yellow iron and precious stones. "

Seeing that the stone bear was so sure, Hongyun suddenly asked, "Dali bear, are you talking about salt?"

Stone bear smile, "bingo, is salt! We can use the salt produced by people in these days to exchange anything we need to them. And we has the final say. Believe me, if we negotiate with those vasichu in the way I said, they will be firmly held in our hands! "
