The priestess of the Eyue tribe, Shu Jiu, paid a friendly visit to Chen Jian's clan, and Chen Jian, the head of the tribal council, the military chief, and the owner of the scepter of the city, went to meet him outside the city, accompanied by fourteen members of the council of chiefs, including the old grandmother.

The wheat waves floated, Xuanyan chirped, and in the rhythm of the passionate military song "The Hand of the Son", the ox cart on which the number nine rode came slowly.

After getting out of the ox cart, Shu Jiu and Chen Jian jointly inspected the fifty soldiers, who were armed with spears and wearing deerskin armor, standing still in the hot sun.

According to the etiquette of the city, the children of the tribe offered sackcloth shawls to the number nine, brought sashimi and salt, and offered a bouquet of spring flowers to wish her eternal youth.

Shu Jiu caressed the children affectionately, gave them some beef jerky to carry with them, and wished them to grow up soon and be able to contribute their own strength to the city and tribe as soon as possible.

Accompanied by Chen Jian, Shujiu watched the drills and marches of the soldiers, and was full of praise for the military formation.

She said: The two tribes are on the north bank of the grass river, with similar populations and similar military formations, and the soldiers are no longer the kind of barbarians who can only charge, and the two races should live in friendship with each other, and should not use war to solve problems.

On behalf of her clan and Eyue, she expressed her appreciation for the army commanded by Chen Jian. It is hoped that the next meeting between Chen Jian and E Yue will be at a banquet and not in the military formation.

Jian Chen agreed, and conveyed his and his clansmen's greetings to Eyue and the tribe through her.

Subsequently, the banquet was solemnly held in the council hall.

Chen Jian was accompanied by members of the 14 tribal councils, as well as Yu Qian'er, who was in charge of the city, and the heads of the masons, carpenters, and charcoal craftsmen.

The banquet was held in a cheerful and warm atmosphere, and the people of Shujiu asked the clan to offer gifts in addition to the Nine Numbers Chart and Gui Table, and were full of praise for the gifts given by Chen Jian.

She said: From the gift, you can see that the healthy tribe is a progressive, well-established tribe, a tribe as vibrant as spring grass sprouts. In particular, the ruler in the gift is closely related to the walls and moats of the city, and it helps his tribe to build the city in the future.

Chen Jian also praised the other party's exquisite jade carving technology and koji fermentation technology, as well as the exquisite silk fabric, and expressed extreme praise.

The entourage of the number nine played Ben Lie's "Hua Song" with the horn horn and the soft "Autumn Water" with the silk string piano. Chen Jian asked someone to play "A Big River" and "Shepherd's Song" on the bone flute.

With the melodious sound of the flute, Jian Chen picked up the seashells and conches in the gift and asked the origin of the seashells in the number nine.

Shujiu said that these seashells were brought from the east and exchanged corn with the Dongyi tribe, and some were the dowry of Eyue's third wife, but she had never seen the sea, but she knew about the existence of the sea, and told the story of the Chinese Su tribe back then. Finally, tell Jian Chen to hold the conch to his ear and be able to hear the sound of the sea.

In order to express his politeness and appropriate expressions of surprise, after hearing this, Jian distributed the seashells and conch to the various leaders, and the leaders listened to the sound of the sea and had a lot of thoughts.

After the steamed peas were served, Shu Jiu asked the wheat fields outside the city several times, expressed great concern about why the wheat cultivated from the ditch grew higher than the burned wasteland, and asked Chen Jian several times about the yield of wheat and peas, and whether this method of ditching was suitable for growing millet.

Chen Jian said that the harvest has not yet been harvested, and the yield should not be low, but his tribe does not have corn, so he does not know whether it is suitable for growing millet.

He asked the people of the Shujiu tribe about planting millet and wished their tribe a bumper harvest this year, and Shujiu expressed his gratitude.

During the banquet, Shu Jiu proposed to exchange corn and soybean seeds for bronze smelting technology, which Chen Jian had reservations.

There was a frank exchange of views on this issue, and although no consensus was reached, it enhanced the understanding between the two clans.

Chen Jian said: It is possible to consider exchanging wheat and peas for corn and beans, but it is not possible to exchange them with bronze smelting technology.

Number nine means that the corn and beans of his tribe are enough, and the wheat and peas are like charcoal fires on hot days, which can be or may not be had; However, the bronze smelting technology is very important to his tribe like the warm sun after the snow, and he regrets that Chen Jian cannot exchange the bronze technology.

Considering that it was the first exchange between the two clans, and that she had sworn not to fight, she decided to exchange the seeds of corn and beans for some salt.

After Yu Qian'er demonstrated what a catty is, she said that she could exchange 3,000 catties of corn and 500 catties of beans in exchange for 300 catties of white salt and five oxcarts, and gave high affirmation and praise to the scale, praising it for being comparable to her own tribe's leaky pot timer.

Chen Jian did not comment on the proposed exchange, but asked Yu Qian'er to demonstrate the principle of the scale for the number nine, and used the scale to weigh the cooked mutton and distribute it equally to everyone in the room.

When he couldn't put down the number nine pairs of scales, Chen Jian asked about the composition of the leaky pot timer, hoping to exchange a leaky pot timer with a ten-rod scale.

Number Nine said: There are not many clans of the leaky pot timer, only three, which were brought from the far east and cannot be exchanged.

The principle of the leaky pot timer is vaguely explained: a wooden board is placed in the pot with an arrow stuck in it, and the wooden board and arrow in the pot are constantly raised by using the water droplets on the leaky pot to indicate the time.

It was not accurate to use the drip method directly, and as the water in the pot became smaller, the speed of flow slowed down, so the kettle arrow was invented. There are also several buckets on it, ensuring that the bucket above the kettle arrow responsible for dripping water is always full to ensure that the velocity of the water droplets is equal. Because there are twelve full moons in a year, the day is divided into twelve parts.

Chen Jian paid high tribute to the inventor and toasted from afar, praising the wisdom of his ancestors.

After Shu Jiu refused to exchange, he offered to exchange an ox cart, and Shu Jiu wanted to have ten more scales in addition to this ox cart, and Chen Jian agreed to the exchange.

Both parties are very pleased with the first deal reached.

Chen Jian said: This is a very good start, the exchange between the two ethnic groups takes time, and this exchange fully reflects the necessity of the exchange between the two ethnic groups, and in the long run, this exchange will be beneficial to the people of the two ethnic groups.

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 lodging, and the peas also make the wheat seedlings grow thicker. Hopefully, this good start will lead to future exchanges. The two sides can put aside their different opinions for a while and talk slowly after the banquet.

Shu Jiu highly agreed with this, put it aside for the time being, discussed it slowly, and no longer discussed the exchange during the banquet, and then asked Chen Jian about his marriage, which pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to Gao Chao.

Before the banquet ended, Jian Chen told Shu Jiu that there was a barbarian tribe in the north that was a threat to both tribes.

The tribe had a different skin color and were not from the same ancestor, and it was hoped that the two tribes would work together to solve the threat.

After hearing that this tribe was located directly north of the city, far from her tribe, Shu Jiu expressed great indignation at the act of scalping, but she said that her tribe could not do anything about it.

On behalf of her clan and Eyue, she promised that her clan would never attack the city when Chen Jian's clan sent troops, let alone break the oath, so please rest assured that Chen Jian.

But when she heard that the tribe had a large animal comparable to an ox, she said that such barbarism would not be tolerated by her tribe, and that such an enemy must be destroyed, and that they could consider sending troops together, and hoped that they could agree on how to distribute the large animals.

Before the banquet ended, the two sides drank a bowl of wine together, wishing each other's tribes a strong and prosperous harvest, and the leaders left in turn, leaving only Chen Jian and Shu Jiu, and a clansman in charge of communication.

That's what most people see.

They also found it pleasant, indeed in a friendly atmosphere, as if the exchange could be done very simply.

But it wasn't, because they didn't know what happened after they left.

When there were only three people left in the whole hall, Jian Chen rubbed his hands, washed his face in the clay basin to sober himself up, and Shu Jiu also took out some blades of grass from his pocket, crushed them and put them in front of his nose to sniff, and sneezed, but his eyes were brighter than during the banquet.

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

Shu Jiu snorted, shook his head, and said, "Your tribe doesn't have enough seeds, and there is so much empty land, even if the wheat and peas are harvested, it will take two years to support the food of the entire city." It is true that the yield of your land is very high, but even if it is very high, it will take a year to harvest. I have counted your land, and 500 catties of beans are not enough for seeds. Your wheat is about to be harvested, and after the harvest you can only plant beans, I asked your people, the season for planting wheat is autumn, not now. ”

Jian Chen gritted his teeth and said, "What about the salt?" Don't you want salt? If you don't have salt, you will be weak, so do you all drink blood? ”

"We've sent people to look for salt water, and there is still a lot of salt in the tribe that can last a long time."

"Then we are the same, we can fish, eat acorns, and eat them for another year. Besides, how can it be so easy to find salt water? We are the only salt here near the Grass River, and if you fight with us, no one will be able to win, let alone snatch the salt pans from us. Since you don't want to change, don't change it. ”

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

After the two of them quarreled for a few words, they talked several times about what kind of classic battles their tribe had fought, and there was a posture that they were about to go to war, and the clansman in charge of translation was chilled, and said in his heart, why is there going to be a war?

However, the two of them just talked about it, and what they said was very vague, and for a long time, the two of them were tired of arguing, so they sat down to rest and drink water.

Jian Chen also poured a cup of maple syrup water for Shu Jiu, added some wild chrysanthemums that moistened his throat, and Shu Jiu was not worried about the poison in it at all, so he drank it directly, and nodded and praised it, and the clansman who saw it was a little confused.

Jian Chen 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 for you to quarrel with me, if your people don't pay attention to this exchange, you can't come." ”

Shu Jiu knew very well that the other party would never use copper smelting in exchange, and the population of his own tribe was superior, but with stone weapons, the population of Chen Jian's tribe was small, and with bronze weapons, this was a strange balance, and it was impossible to break this balance if he was as cunning as he was.

So since she stepped into the hall, she hadn't considered changing the copper smelting technique, just so that there was room for regression when arguing.

Indeed, there are many things worth changing, and there are so many things that it is dizzying, but she will not be dazzled, and she knows very well which things are of the highest value.

Undoubtedly, it was the ox cart, and in front of the ox cart, everything else was eclipsed.

With the ox cart, the tribesmen could have a more convenient tool to save too many people at harvest time, which used to be carried on people's backs, and the whole autumn harvest took a long time.

And even if you migrate, with ox carts, your tribe can go farther, you can carry more things, even if the land is no longer fertile, you are not afraid of migrating once in three years.

So she said, "Except for copper smelting, our tribe only accepts ox carts. It's not the ox cart itself, it's how the ox cart is made. ”

Chen Jian snorted and said, "It's not that I won't change, it's to tell you, you can't learn either." ”

"Really?"

Shu Jiu sneered, took out the ruler in the package, and knew that the person in charge of translating the painting below might not be able to understand it, but she knew that Jian Chen would definitely be able to understand it, and the number and shape would not change because of the difference in language.

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

Holding her head high, she proudly said as when she was young, "From the time I was born, there is nothing I can't learn!" I only had one look and I knew what you were talking about. ”

Then, he took out the nine-number diagram pottery plate from the package, put it in front of Chen Jian, and sneered: "Then how long will it take for you to understand what I'm talking about?" ”
