Chapter 698 As Long as the Hoe Is Well Swung, There Is No Wall that Cannot Be Dug Down
Of course, people from the trade team would not say that when they went to this tribe, we dug your mine near your tribe, and now we will give you some compensation.
People at that time didn't have such a strong concept. In their understanding, as long as they didn't go to the caves of other tribes to snatch them, or kill other tribes' prey and rob them, there would be no problem.
Things like rocks that cannot be eaten or worn are different from things like fruits and young animals.
Fruits, animal cubs, etc., were exchanged by the tribes and found to be useful. If they wanted to get them from these tribes again, they needed to exchange them with salt, but for stones, they were completely unnecessary.
Regardless of whether it is a stone that is useful to the tribe or not, after exchanging it once, when you get it again, you will never exchange it with these tribes.
This is because the people in the Qingque tribe will come to mine in person, instead of exchanging from the people of these tribes as before.
The members of the trade team went to this tribe at this time, just to conduct a normal transaction in the past, and use cans and other things to cultivate the relationship with the minors of this tribe.
After all, they haven't come to this tribe for a long time, and now they come to mine stones nearby, and it is very necessary to do such a thing by the way.
The arrival of the Qingque Tribe trade team brought a lot of joy to the people of this tribe, especially those minors who were eating canned sweet and sour food.
These minors were eating happily, and Shang, Mao and others were also smiling happily. Looking at these minors, their eyes were full of smiles, as if they were looking at their own stupid sons.
Not too far from the stream, Mao and another part of the trade team were chopping trees vigorously with copper axes in their hands.
With the copper axe, they felled trees much faster.
Trees were cut down one by one, and then cut into lengths of about three meters.
These trunks and some thicker branches were tied together with a relatively flexible branch to make a raft.
These rafts are used to hold stones.
This is what Han Cheng thought of.
Things like stone, before proper roads are built, and two-wheeled or four-wheeled deer carts or other vehicles with strong load capacity are built,
Relying on land for sports is a very labor-intensive and time-consuming thing.
This was something that Han Chengzhen had really experienced when he led people back from Tongshan to transport ore back.
Now the place where the limestone exists is close to a stream, and the flow of this stream is not bad, and it is also connected to the downstream of the small river in front of the tribe. If Han Cheng doesn't know how to use water, it will be too much.
It is a very good thing to cut down trees here to make rafts. Firstly, when they come here, the members of the trade team don't have to drag many rafts all the way to here, which can save a lot of hard work.
Secondly, these rafts that transport themselves back with the stones are also very useful.
Some are tall and straight, and of suitable thickness can be used as building materials such as beams and wood.
Some that are not very good can be used for burning charcoal, even if it is not good for burning charcoal, it can also be used for cooking and cooking, and then the ashes of the burnt can be used to fertilize the field.
Words and phrases such as precise calculations, grabbing two handfuls of mud before getting up after falling to the ground, can be applied to Han Cheng at this time.
Before Shang joined the trade team, what he did most in the Qingque tribe was mining stones, so it was very smooth for him to resume his old business at this time.
After moving these scattered and easy-to-carry stones to the creek, under his leadership, another group of people began to burn the stones with fire, and after they were hot, they poured cold water on them.
When they were doing these things, there were quite a few minors running around here.
Or follow Mao and others to make branches.
Or hold the clay pot and follow Shang and others to get water from the stream to the stones, waiting for the water to be splashed on the stones, or hold some small stones and transport them to the stream...
Not only them, even the female primitive people who stayed in this tribe to dig wild vegetables or spear fish to eat, mostly came here to dig wild vegetables.
During the intervals between digging wild vegetables, I would stand aside and watch the people of the trade team do these strange but well-organized things for a while.
Some primitive females with a more lively temperament sometimes join in like these minors.
There are men, women, and some lively children. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a tribe.
These minors like this kind of life and like to get along with these friendly people.
I like to watch them quickly cut down a big tree, and I like to watch them tie up these felled trees that they have been able to break for a long time in the past, and then carry them into the stream.
Such a thing will not sink to the bottom after being placed in the water, and people can stand on it.
Standing on the surface of the water without sinking, this thing surprised them all the more.
What amazed them was not only this, but also the extremely sharp and beautiful tool that could cut down a tree very quickly.
The most surprising thing is not these, the most surprising thing is the stone that cracked in the smog and heat wave!
It is astonishing that such a solid stone can be opened in such a way!
Even though many of them have participated in this event, they still feel thrilled and amazed every time they see this magnificent sight.
Through such contacts, they learned more about the Qingque tribe.
It turns out that the people of this tribe, apart from being rich and friendly, have so many amazing things.
The more you know, the more you yearn for the Qingque tribe.
After participating in these labors and experiencing the life of the Qingque tribe, these minors, even including many adult female primitives, unconsciously compared the life of the Qingque tribe with their own tribe.
The result of the comparison is that the monotonous life of my own tribe, which is repeated day after day, is more desirable than the novel way of life of the Qingque tribe.
Although they don't know why the people of this tribe cut down trees and get so many stones.
At noon, the people in the trade team began to eat a lunch that basically did not exist in this era, and the minors and women of this tribe would be given some.
For the food distributed, Shang, Mao and the others didn't feel bad at all, thinking that when these people came to the tribe, they would grow more food...
