Chapter 536: Make a Choice
At the same time, here on the grassland...
Since coming to this world and establishing a new tribe, the Centaur tribe has survived here for almost a year. It’s been months.
In this winter grassland, it is not easy to obtain enough food purely by hunting.
This wave can only be said to have come at the wrong time. In other seasons, the prey on this grassland would be much richer. As centaurs, who are a hunting race, their lives are natural. It won't be so sad.
Although Drogo is a little slow on certain matters, he is not stupid.
While running to the Centaur tribe every day to learn inherited skills, he could somewhat tell that the lives of his fellow tribesmen were a little tight.
So he had an idea and came up with an idea to Diak.
That is to capture prey alive and trade with them.
"Clan leader, think about it. If you catch a wild horse, the little meat will not be enough for the whole clan to eat for a meal. But if you capture the wild horse alive and sell it to us, Dazhou, then at least... …”
Speaking of which, Drogo couldn't at least come up with something right now.
He originally caught these and exchanged them for arrows and weapons, but he really didn’t exchange them for food.
But for the sake of this, he would be embarrassed if he couldn't at least order something.
So I just said it bravely.
“At least, at least we can replace one or two trucks of potato flour, and then we can make big cakes, enough for the whole family to eat for several days.”
Here in Diack, they don't think that meat is definitely better than flatbread.
Just like Drogo said, the little meat of a wild horse is not enough for their whole family to eat for a meal, but if it is replaced by potato flour, it will be enough for them to eat for several days.
As the leader of a clan, what choice should I make when faced with this kind of problem?
But Diack also had hesitation in his heart.
According to his opinion, it will be difficult for everyone to get some food after winter. When they arrived, Zhou Xu ordered people to send a lot of food to help them settle down.
Considering the alliance between them, Zhou Xu could be said to be extremely benevolent and righteous towards them.
Under this premise, capture wild horses and other animals to trade with Da Zhou for food? Will the other party really be willing to change?
Diak is relatively close to Drogo, who is of the same race, and he expressed his concerns at this time.
In this regard, Drogo said carelessly...
"If the patriarch cares about this, I can help you ask."
Hearing this, Diak suddenly looked grateful. If this matter could be solved for him, it would undoubtedly be of great help to them.
Faced with gratitude, Zhuo Ge waved his hands repeatedly, and at the same time did what he said, and ran directly back to the village to tell Ye Jinghong about the matter.
For other forces, the food problem in winter may be a big problem that is difficult to solve, but for them, the Great Zhou, this is not the case.
They had just carried out the autumn harvest in the autumn of the Great Zhou Dynasty and harvested a large amount of grain. At this time, the grain was plentiful.
Of course, he would not tell Diack directly about this.
He's just a little crazy, but not stupid.
Although he and Diack are of the same race, he is a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. From this perspective, Diack and the others are also outsiders, and naturally they cannot reveal their family background.
Even before telling Ye Jinghong about this, he was a little unsure.
If you think about it carefully, they now have to provide support to the frontline troops. At the same time, after the autumn harvest, the next grain harvest will not be until summer at the earliest, and the grain harvested in summer is limited. The main grain harvest Still in autumn.
Thinking about it this way, they don’t seem to have that much money.
Thinking of this, Drogo began to feel uncertain. But that didn't matter to him. Anyway, he just came to ask, and the worst he could do was to be rejected.
But what he didn't expect was that Ye Jinghong agreed very simply.
This surprised Drogo...
“Don’t you need to ask your Majesty for instructions?”
"Your Majesty has a lot of things to do, so just write a report later on this little matter."
Ye Jinghong paused.
"What did you say to the Diak clan leader at that time? Tell me every word."
Drogo didn't think much and just said what he said at that time. Again.
When he said that a wild horse can be exchanged for one or two carts of potato flour, his voice became obviously weak.
He was a soldier. Since he surrendered, he has basically stayed at the military camp in Prairie Village. He doesn't need to worry about such things on weekdays. He has no contact with them and has no idea about them.
How does he know how much a truck or two of potato flour is worth? How much is a wild horse worth?
As everyone knows, after listening to his narration, Ye Jinghong almost failed to suppress his lips.
Potato flour is not valuable. One or two carts of potato flour is indeed a lot, but its value is still incomparable to that of a wild horse!
Of course, the premise is that the wild horse is healthy. If it is a disabled horse, it will not be of much value to them.
"Uh-huh!"
He coughed heavily, suppressing the urge to laugh, Ye Jinghong said with a straight face...
"Chief Diak and the others are us Dazhou is an important ally, and we Dazhou have always helped our allies whenever we can."
When he said this, Ye Jinghong paused.
“Let’s see, for a healthy wild horse, we can exchange them with two loads of potato flour. In addition, if they want to exchange for some other food, I can also give them a list. Once the list comes out, just follow the list and change it.”
Drogo was immediately relieved after receiving this answer.
Although they are not a family, Diak and the others are still his kindred after all. If possible, Drogo still hopes that Diak and the others can live well.
After receiving Ye Jinghong’s clear answer at this time, Drogo couldn’t wait to bring the news to Diack.
Looking at Drogo who quickly disappeared from his sight, the corners of Ye Jinghong’s mouth that couldn’t be suppressed finally turned up. At the same time, he secretly admired their king’s miraculous calculation.
At first, their king personally took the Centaur clan to settle down in the clan area, and gave him instructions after returning.
He said that if the Centaur clan wanted to trade with them in the future, they would just agree.
Of course, their things are not completely open to the Centaurs, and are limited to trading food.
At that time, Ye Jinghong was still a little strange and couldn't help but ask...
"How can the king be so sure that the Centaurs will definitely come to us to trade?"
Interview Regarding this question, Zhou Xu smiled slightly at that time.
"I have reached an agreement with Chief Diak, and Drogo and the others will go there to learn the inherited skills of the Centaur clan."
"The Centaur clan is a hunting race, and the way to obtain food is The main focus is hunting, and hunting in winter is not easy, so their life will definitely not be easy."
"Drogo has made deals with us before, and he must have been able to tell the difference after staying there for a long time. Given the situation of the centaurs and the fact that they are the same race, Drogo must also hope that they can live a better life. When the time comes, he will most likely mention this matter, just wait and see. "
Look, no. He was pinched to death by their king.
