From Chief to Ball

He said: The two tribes are like peas and wheat seedlings in the field, they can support each other, the wheat seedlings support the peas from falling down, and the peas also make the wheat seedlings grow stronger.Hopefully this good start will lead to future exchanges.The two parties can temporarily put aside different opinions and talk slowly after the banquet.

Shujiu highly agreed with this, put it on hold for the time being, and discussed it slowly, and the exchange was no longer discussed at the banquet, and then asked about Chen Jian's marriage, which pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to a high level.

Before the banquet ended, Chen Jian told Shujiu that there was a scalping barbaric tribe in the north, which was a threat to both tribes.

The tribe has different skin colors and is not the same ancestor. I hope that the two tribes can send troops together to solve this threat.

Shujiu expressed great indignation at the scalping after hearing that the tribe was in the north of the city, far away from her tribe, but she said that her tribe could do nothing about it.

On behalf of the tribe and E Yue, she promised that her tribe would never attack the city when Chen Jian's tribe sent troops, let alone violate the oath, please rest assured Chen Jian.

But after hearing that that tribe has a large livestock that is comparable to a cow, she said that this kind of barbaric behavior is absolutely intolerable to her tribe. This kind of enemy must be eliminated, and she can consider sending troops together, and hopes that how to distribute them Agree on those large livestock.

Before the banquet ended, the two sides drank a bowl of wine and wished each other a prosperous and prosperous tribe. The leaders left one by one, leaving only Chen Jian, Shujiu, and a tribe responsible for communication.

The above is what most of the clansmen saw.

They also found it very pleasant, indeed it was carried out in a friendly atmosphere, and it seemed that the exchange could be done very simply.

But no, because they don't know what happened after they left.

When there were only three people left in the hall, Chen Jian rubbed his hands, washed his face in a pottery basin to wake himself up, Shujiu also took out some grass leaves from his pocket, crushed them and put them in front of his nose to smell He sniffed and sneezed, but his eyes were brighter than at the banquet.

Chen Jian said directly: "It is impossible for us to exchange copper smelting skills, so you don't have to think about it."

Shujiu snorted, shook his head, and said, "Your tribe doesn't have enough seeds, and with so much empty land, even if the wheat and peas are harvested, it will take two years to feed the entire city. Indeed, you people who cultivate land like that The yield is very high, but even if it is very high, it will take a year to harvest. I have counted your land, and five hundred catties of soybeans are not enough to make seeds. Your wheat is about to be harvested, and you can only grow soybeans after harvest. I ask According to your people, the season for planting wheat is autumn, not now."

Chen Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Where's the salt? Don't you want salt? Without salt, you'll be weak. Are you going to drink blood?"

"We have sent people to find salt water, and there is still a lot of salt in the tribe, which can last for a long time."

"Then it's the same for us. We can fish, eat acorns, and eat for another year. Besides, how can it be so easy to find salt water? We are the only ones near the Grass River that have salt. If you fight us, no one can win, let alone It is impossible to take away Yantian from us. Since you don’t want to change it, then don’t change it.”

"If you don't change, don't change!"

After the two quarreled for a few words, they talked several times about what kind of classic battles their tribe had fought, and they seemed to be about to start a war. The tribe in charge of the translation felt cold all over, and thought to themselves, why is there a war going to war?

However, the two of them were just talking, and their words were very vague. After a long time, the two of them were tired from arguing, so they sat down to rest and drink water.

Chen Jian also poured Shujiu a cup of maple syrup and added some wild chrysanthemums to moisten his throat. Shujiu didn't worry about the poison in it, so he drank it directly and nodded his head in praise.

Chen Jian rubbed his head and said: "It's useless to quarrel like this. There are many things that can be exchanged. E Yue asked you to come, not to quarrel with me. If your clan doesn't value this exchange, you can't come either. "

Shujiu knew very well that the other party would never exchange copper smelting skills. The population of his own tribe was dominant, but with stone weapons, the population of Chen Jian's tribe was small. Using bronze weapons, this was a strange balance, as cunning as him , it is absolutely impossible to break this balance.

So ever since she stepped into the hall, she hadn't considered switching to copper smelting. She said this only to have room for retreat when arguing.

It is true that there are many things worth changing, and there are so many things that make people dizzy, but she will not be confused, and she knows which thing is the most valuable.

Undoubtedly, it was the ox cart, before which everything else paled.

With the ox cart, the tribe can have a more convenient tool, which can save too many people when harvesting. In the past, people relied on people's backs, and the entire autumn harvest took a long time.

And even if they migrate, with the ox cart, their tribe can travel farther and carry more things. Even if the land is no longer fertile, they are not afraid of migrating once every three years.

So she said: "In addition to copper smelting, our tribe only accepts ox carts. It's not the ox cart itself, but how to make the ox cart."

Chen Jian snorted, "It's not that I won't change it, but I'm telling you that you can't learn it either."

"is it?"

Shujiu sneered, and took out the ruler in the package. She knew that the person responsible for the translation of the painting below might not be able to understand it, but she knew that Chen Jian would definitely be able to understand it. Numbers and shapes will not change because of different languages. .

I took a piece of charcoal, drew a circle and an inscribed angle on the wall, compared the diameter of the circle with my hand, clicked on the ring, and said only ten words: "No matter how you draw it, it must be a rectangular angle. "

She held her head up, as proudly as she was when she was young, and said, "Since I was born, there is nothing I can't learn! I just glanced at it and knew what you were talking about."

Then, he took out the Nine Figures pottery board from the package, put it in front of Chen Jian, and said with a sneer, "Then how long will it take you to understand what I'm talking about?"

Chapter 72 Plagiarism Respect

Chen Jian saw what it was at a glance, but he didn't say it immediately, but deliberately frowned with a serious expression of thought.

The exchange will inevitably be reached, and now it's just a battle of wills.

As a plagiarist of later generations, he really didn't have the courage to tell the truth in front of the real discoverer, turning other people's pride and hard work into a shock and pretense.

You can have what you don’t have, and you must respect what you already have. This thing seems simple, but in this era, for these nine numbers, it must be the painstaking efforts of several generations, and how many heads have been wasted.

Out of respect, he carefully put the clay board away, shook his head and said, "I don't understand, but maybe I can understand it tomorrow."

Shujiu looked at Chen Jian's frown and solemnity, and his face was full of brilliance. His originally uneasy mood became very happy at this time, and seemed to bring back the slight downturn in the previous quarrel.

"You drew this?"

"My mother." She was very proud, and she was indeed entitled to be proud, after all, she had such a mother.

"Do you understand?"

"Of course!"

"Your mother is really amazing. Can I take it and watch it slowly?"

"Yes, this is a gift for your tribe. You are also very good. That ruler is very good."

Since you won the confrontation of the battle of spirits, you have to leave some leeway, and you praised it, which is actually saying that the ruler is also very good, but I can see what you want to say at a glance.

Chen Jian smiled, put the ceramic board away with great care, and after expressing his respect for Shujiu's mother, started the negotiation of the transaction again.

That pottery plate is the Nine Numbers Map, also known as Hetu Luoshu, a primitive Nine Numbers Magic Square.

The addition of three numbers horizontally and vertically is fifteen. This is just a mathematical concept, but it is a miracle for people at this time.

In addition, for a tribe with a solar calendar, this pottery tablet has more meanings.

The eight numbers except the middle circle represent eight directions and eight solar terms.

If the solar movement is used as the calendar, there are four days in a year that are the most special.

Because of the tilt angle of the earth, during the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, the day and night are equal, and the day is equally divided; the summer solstice is the longest day, and the winter solstice is the shortest day.

These may be the earliest four solar terms of the tribe in the solar calendar, and then there are spring, summer, autumn and winter.

There is a reincarnation of 360 five days a year, just like a circle, and these four days divide the circle into four equal parts.

And these four days are the four days with the most characteristics of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Then divide this circle into eight equal parts, and the four new days are the four periods: Lichun, Lixia, Liqiu, and Lidong.

From Lichun to Lixia is spring, from Lixia to Liqiu is summer... By analogy, knowing the four seasons can guide the farming season.
