Chapter 74 (2/2)

Looking at the smiling people, the eyebrows of the stone bear frowned slightly.

In the memory of silly head, when he lived in longmaoniu tribe, he could see vasichu's trading team two or three times a year. At that time, however, the fool didn't know anything, and he didn't like anything, so he never exchanged anything from vasichu.

Now, the people of gaoshu tribe are very happy, which is obviously the appearance of being slaughtered.

Therefore, the stone bear plans to come forward, and can't let the people be slaughtered for nothing.

Trading is a very old way of exchange. Long ago, human beings had the activity of trading. But before a long time, most of them were barter. Later, with the emergence of money, money played an irreplaceable role in the transaction.

But in any case, the transaction should be exchanged with something of similar value, that is, the so-called equality.

But now, these vasichus take advantage of the needs of the North American Indians and exchange the low value things for the high value things. This is a very unfair trade in itself, and even can be called ”Exploitation”.

But there was no other way to change this situation in the past. The goods brought by vasichus were not good in Europe or even in the thirteen colonies, but they were what the North American Indians needed. When there is demand, there is a market. Those vasichus seize this point, and then they can exchange a lot of precious fur, gold and gems from the Indians with less valuable things.

Who makes you like our things!

The vassichus said so with a strong sense.

Vasichu's chariot motorcade can't enter the tribe. Their camp is in a forest about 500 meters away from the tribe. Then they will send representatives to discuss with Lilei about the list of items to be traded on a large scale. Only after they have generally determined what items the tribe needs to trade, can the tribe enter vasichu's camp, Then according to their own preferences to trade, this is a private transaction.

In this era, the Cherokee people did not have any concept of privatization. Hunting, grain production, including salt production, would be handed over to the tribe, and then the tribe would distribute the products in a unified way, so as to realize the sharing of resources among the tribe.

Just like the salt made by the ethnic people in the past seven or eight days, in addition to giving 10% of the salt to the tribe, other salt they made will also be given to the tribe. But that 10% salt does not belong to the people, and that 90% salt belongs to all the people.

That's a bit of a contradiction, but that's what it is. That 10% salt is equivalent to the tax paid by the people, which is controlled by the tribe. Although they have to hand over the remaining 90% of the salt to the tribe, eventually the salt will be distributed to each tribe by the tribe, and the salt will also be distributed to the tribe, rather than being completely controlled by the tribe.

When the trading team of vasichu came, every family would take out their treasures and give them to the tribe, and the senior members of the tribe would be responsible for negotiating with the vasichu. The final goods are being distributed to the clansmen.

Of course, there are some things in the minority people's hands, which are the main items for private transactions.

In any case, this kind of trade is unfair, but it is a good thing for the backward North American Indians.

Such things as horses, ironware, cloth and seeds in the tribe were exchanged from these vasichu's hands.
