Chapter 102 (2/2)
So now, despite the fact that the tribe sends out many soldiers to capture bison every day, the results are less and less every day. In recent years, six groups of soldiers go out to capture bison together, and sometimes only one bison can be captured one day.
Compared with the despondent soldiers who captured the bison all day long, the people on the other side of Xiaoyan mountain are very prosperous, with happy smiles on their faces.
This kind of smile has not disappeared from the faces of the vasichus since their trading team left.
Now there are almost 200 people who make salt on this side of xiaoyanshan. Except for those who open up wasteland and catch bison, the rest of the tribe are concentrated on this side of xiaoyanshan as long as they can work.
Last time, the salt making team with only 100 people was only busy for seven or eight days, and the salt they made changed all the things they brought back. This is something that never happened in the tribe.
People used to attach great importance to salt, but now almost every family can measure out dozens of Jin of salt every day. Who cares about that.
But these salt in the eyes of those vasichu people is extremely precious materials, with this ”worthless” salt exchange vasichu brought those things, the effect is surprisingly good.
People who tasted the sweetness spontaneously came to xiaoyanshan and began to make salt day and night. Because the guardian said that the next time the vasichus come, they will bring a lot of horses in exchange for the salt.
Compared with the iron tools that are no longer needed in the tribe, horses are the favorite things of the tribe.
If the salt you make can be exchanged for a horse, it will be much more convenient no matter what you do in the future.
So now people's enthusiasm for making salt is even higher than the flame in the local blast furnace!
Major hank, however, had just left. The journey from the tribe to Jamestown was more than 600 miles. Even major hank, they were all carriages, but it took at least a month to go back and forth.
The next time major Hank's men come here to make a deal, it will be at least a month and a half later. They also need to organize the exchange of materials, especially precious war horses.
Even the children in the tribe are now in groups, either helping in xiaoyanshan or going out to mow the grass and feed the cattle
So, all of a sudden, the stone bear felt as if he had nothing to do.
The idle stone bear wants to talk to Hongyun, but when he arrives at Hongyun's residence, he finds that she is not there.
He asked an old lady who lived next to the red cloud. She said that kabulu had gone to the tribal warehouse.
When the stone bear found Hongyun in the tribe's warehouse, he found that Hongyun was counting the remaining seeds with several women in the warehouse.
Women in the tribe are the main force of farming, so the storage and quantity of seeds are almost controlled by women leaders in the tribe.
For example, the lack of wheat seeds has aroused the attention of Hongyun. That's why she came to the tribal warehouse to check the amount of seeds stored.
The wooden house of the tribal warehouse is smaller than the Council hall, but there are six such wooden houses, which store all the most important materials of the tribe.
Seeing the red clouds cleaning the seeds, the idle stone bear with a little egg pain wandered around the wooden house. Soon, he was attracted by a basket of food that was not round in the middle of winter.
