Chapter 206 Material-driven thought

Metals are not uncommon in the Western Continent, but are rarely used outside of military affairs.

The material for an iron pot costs probably takes two miners and a blacksmith for half a month to make up, and the ore can be used only if the lord agrees. Instead of using it for cooking utensils, it is better to make two short knives or save a little bit of the blade of the spear.

But the village chief still wanted it, and he shivered and said, "How much?"

Chen Yi looked around and took the oval shield made by Yunba. The double-layer full-leather equipment is light and durable and has extremely strong defensiveness, and is probably not available on earth. The only problem is that the leather used is a bit special, but it is not a problem. Whoever has nothing to do for a day will take the leather to check. In fact, most people don’t know where to check the leather at all. And he doesn’t care about the so-called suspicion - some of the Chen family are mentally abused children who are not open-eyed.

Yunba was so excited that he immediately pushed out all the shields, afraid that he would disagree and said, "I have two sides, and I haven't done it well."

"4 are enough." Chen Yi smiled. The people in the Western Continent were indeed more backward than the Mongolians. The ancient Mongolians had only sheep and no pot, but they didn't know how the Yun Village people hunted.

Yunba stuck out his butt and piled the shield on Chen Yi's territory, and he was so happy that his brown teeth were about to fall to the ground. The 4-sided shield was not worth much, at best, two heads of black cowhide. This thick-skinned animal was not even suitable for armor, and the shield was the only destination. He originally thought that if he could exchange 4 shields for a pair of shoes with a pair of shoes - including the hunting time, he could make 4 shields in two days, and others would not be much slower. If he accumulates for a while, it would always be worth a lot of wealth.

Of course, it is different to have an iron pot now. One iron pot can definitely marry a beautiful girl. With it, you can cook meat without buying a crock pot that is easy to break, instead of just barbecue. Plus spices... I heard that people in the city do this. Those nobles and noble servants, as well as the noble servants, all eat the boiled minced meat.

Others looked at Yunba with magical eyes, as if they were jealous, but no one tried to get their own shields. Each of them had one or two sets of them, but that thing was too valuable and too simple, and it seemed like it could be made with any leather.

Almost no merchant would ask to take away the shield, although the leather oval shield is much better than the wooden shield.

Until... Chen Yi asked, "Didn't anyone else..." Everyone woke up as if they were dreaming and ran back home.

"I want half a person and one person high, not too big or too heavy, and the thickness seems to be OK."

In a short while, he got 30 shields and gave 8 iron pots. If these were used to equip students, they would be combined with the knight's infantry fighting skills. Not to mention a gangster with only blunt weapons, even a riot policeman could suppress it.

Chen Yi smiled, and the village chief was simply ecstatic.

If it weren't for the past few hundred and thousands of years, the price of metal was so high that he almost thought that iron trees would have grown in the forest. If iron trees were not grown in the forest, Yuncun would be the richest among the dozen nearby villages, and would marry whoever girl he wanted.

"Maybe, I can marry another wife, and it was a few years ago that I had married four wives."

The village chief touched his messy beard and placed the two iron pots he got under his feet.

Next, various cotton and chemical fiber clothes continued to be recognized by the villagers. The weather in the western continent was hot, but except for the wings of a few insects, clothes made of leather or plant cotton were rough and not breathable. After all, naked bodies were not very comfortable, especially when you went to the city, you would be driven out without clothes.

The thin clothes looked like the clothes of noble men. It has to be said that Chen Xingshang was recognized by the villagers because of his clothes.

He wears much better clothes than ordinary merchants.

No wonder there are so many good things.

The newly made bow and arrow were swept away, and Chen Yi began to take out other things, one hidden knife, two hidden knife, and three hidden knife...

The villagers pushed and shoved and began to be excited again.

"We...we have no bows and armor, only a few sets left, and we need to prepare bandits and beasts..."

"It's okay, I'll give it to me next time. I'll come back in about 10 days." Chen Yi put 20 hidden knives on the ground, as well as hundreds of pairs of leather shoes and liberation shoes, hundreds of sets of clothes, thousands of boxes of matches and lighters.

The Chen Family Martial Arts School has just begun to recruit more than 60 students, and it is far from the time to expand violently. In addition, getting things from the Western Continent is just ancillary value - developing a new world on a wild continent. This kind of thing is exciting to think about. If you feed back its energy to the earth in the future, Chen Yi feels that at least it is still very promising to push his grandfather back to politics.

It only depends on how to use these huge resources.

The young village chief of the Yun Village really hit the lucky luck, but he still had the simplicity and concern of the mountain people. Although he couldn't bear to bear it, he still refused and said: "In 10 days, we can't make such... so many things."

"You can use these things to go to other villages to change bows, arrows, armor, and shields, and give them to me."

"Will we help you conduct business?" the village chief said hesitantly: "We won't."

"I'll teach you" Chen Yi pushed out a hidden knife and said, "How many hunting bows can it be replaced in another village?"

The village chief said dryly: "The 10 best ones?"

This is a sharp all-metal knife. The knife left by Yunwu's father is not as long as this one. Then, grind it with a stone, soak it with python blood to kill the hairy elephant.

"Now, you can exchange this knife for 10 bows and give me 5. The remaining 5 are yours."

"It's like our wages?" The village chief understood suddenly, and Mumu nodded, "We transport things to the people in the city, and that's the same."

"This is the businessman."

"Yeah?"

"Yes." Chen Yi nodded affirmatively, then classified the goods on the ground and told the village chief each price.

In fact, it is 50% of the original price, but if you don’t tell the village chief, the latter will be very worried.

Fortunately, Yuncun has always relied on selling livestock and its own labor to make a living. If it is purely animal husbandry, it is even more difficult to understand the way of doing business.

If the villagers do not rely on themselves to attract the surrounding communities, their attempts to develop nearby will definitely be disappointed.

Leaving 5 cubic meters of supplies worth hundreds of thousands, Chen Yi carried the bow and arrow, armor and shield, waved his hand and smiled, "I'll leave first, see you in 10 days."

"Okay, okay." The village chief's own language was not smooth.

When he left, the villagers remained on powerful visual and psychological shocks.

It was not until sunset that the village chief stood up and said to everyone: "Chen Xingshang is right. We are going to another village and exchange for things."

"What a good knife, exchange it for someone else?"

The village chief was speechless and felt something was wrong. So he thought for a long time, and finally slapped his thigh and said, "Let's leave half, exchange the rest for things and give Chen Xingshang the rest. Isn't the remaining half ours?"

"But half of the knife is gone."

"These knives are all from Chen Xingshang..."

"But half of the knife is gone..."

Although there are always people who can't understand why they do this, the village chief finally understood clearly. He no longer communicated with others, but began to order: "Yunyi, bring 20 pieces of clothes and 2 knives and go to Shacun to change things."

"yes."

"Yun Er, bring 40 pieces of clothes and 3 knives, go to Kimura to change things, and also change more Muxins back."

"Chen Xingshang doesn't want Mu Xin."

"We want to use Muxin as bows and arrows, so you can buy those dried Muxins. One piece of clothing is exchanged for 20 Muxins."

Muxin, which makes the bow back, must be left in a cool place for two years or even longer before making bows and arrows. In fact, bows and arrows can also be made in places other than Muxin, but the strength is not strong enough. The bow making skills mastered by the villagers are still far behind. Otherwise, it would be easy to make the bow back just by just ordinary wood, and the pulling force reaches four or five stones.

Yunwuhui made bows and arrows, so he asked, "Where is the tendon?"

The tendons are materials used to make bowstrings and must also dry in the shade. They have always been from animals they hunt themselves.

The village chief said proudly: "Yunsan, bring 100 pieces of clothes, an iron pot, and 50 packs of spices to Shangyun Village, and change the tendons."

Shangyun Village is a village where their ancestors scattered their branches and leaves. It is one of the largest villages in a radius of hundreds of miles.

Yunwu said again: "There are so many 40 pieces of clothes that can be replaced... so many mullets, and spices can be replaced with many tendons, but we can't finish them."

"Then buy people from Shangyun Village and tell them that a household can make bow and arrow armor, and they can change to an iron pot."

"I really want to give the iron pot?"

"Yunwu"

"Why"

"You go to the hunting village and buy their bows and arrows." The village chief took out five hidden knives and said, "Tell them to get the best."

Yunwu regretfully held the knife long in his palm, imagining the warmth of using it to penetrate the abdomen of the saber-toothed beast and the intestines flowing on his hands.

On the other side of the Light Gate, the fully armed martial arts audit team also attracted the attention of the people of Jiangbei.

The dark armor, the rough bow, retro and full of momentum. If only one person wears this way, everyone may have to give it a good start, but when a team of 10 students appear, any discussion must be taken into consideration.

Chen Yi was like a wolf king, patiently waiting for the students to practice the simplest in-person combat skills and bow combat skills, and then took them to start a formal patrol.

But behind them were two construction companies’ maintenance vehicles.

The first step in the martial arts center to maintain the community is to restore the safety of electricity and water in Jiangbei District.

Before this, he had already received news from Luo Xiaoshan that the Malaysian certificate and ticket company sold successfully, and the return would be calculated at 1 billion yuan. At this time, the territory of Jiangbei and the value of Jiangnan shipyards would not be unwilling to be moved. If state-owned assets must be invaded, the Chinese have never fallen behind.
