Mu Feng is waiting for Da Jiang's people to come, this time he will personally go to the market to trade.

Soon, Jiang's men came, led by Han Shu.

After seeing Mu Feng, he was overjoyed and shouted excitedly: "The Great Chief!"

Mu Feng waved at him, briefly asked about the situation of the tribe, and was relieved after learning that everything was normal, and then asked him to put all the things to be traded on the special "table" of Ding Jiang.

This table was also mentioned by Mu Feng and Da Huyou before, and it was a stone table that was a little more than one meter above the ground on purpose.

There are tradable samples on the table: salt, weapons, furs, and a pottery or two.

Of course, pottery is equivalent to showing off, and it has not been traded for one or two until now.

Even Big Huyou had been greedy for a long time, but Mu Feng didn't send him off, in order to create a "rare and precious" feeling.

Standing beside Mu Feng, Han Shu said in a low voice: "Great Chief, let us do the transaction, you don't need to do it yourself!"

Mu Feng laughed softly: "I have other things to arrange later, and I need to wait for people from other tribes to come to the door!"

Han Shu understood, stopped talking, and stood next to Mu Feng with Bai Yue.

The three of them stood in a row, quite like a counter salesperson.

Big Huyou said hello in advance because of Mufeng, and went to drink sugar water in the tent by himself.

Seeing that Mu Feng was standing there to trade, the members of Hongluan's department hesitated and dared not go forward.

Seeing their hesitation, Mu Feng signaled Han Shu to call them over, offering to make a deal with them.

After all, if you open the door to do business, you can make a fortune if you earn a hundred and eighty cents.

No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat!

Everyone in the Hongluan tribe was trembling, the leader saw that Mu Feng, a big chief, was about to make a deal with him, so trembling that he couldn't speak.

Mu Feng smiled and asked, "What do you want?"

The man stammered: "I, I want, I want salt!"

Mu Feng asked: "Then what do you want in exchange?"

"Fur, fur!"

Mu Feng nodded: "Then how much do you want to change, how many furs do you bring?"

The man hurriedly looked at the people behind him, and they quickly put all the furs they brought in front of Mu Feng.

Mu Feng told Han Shu to count them, and there were only thirty or so, and they were all the furs of little foxes and deer.

This is not enough to exchange for a jar of salt.

Mu Feng looked at them and said: "Your furs are too small, and the quantity is not enough to exchange for a jar!"

The person at the head said, "How much can that be exchanged for?"

Mu Feng frowned slightly.

In the market, a jar of salt is exchanged as a whole.

Fifty furs, the damage should not be serious, can be exchanged for a jar.

This is equivalent to a consensus among tribes.

But right now Hongluan's fur is not enough, so logically there is no way to exchange it.

The man immediately became nervous when he saw Mu Feng frown.

In fact, he himself knew that it was unreasonable to ask such a question.

But there is no way, there are only so many extra furs that a huge tribe can vacate now, and if they can't change the salt and salt, they will soon be in trouble.

Just when he thought Mu Feng would refuse, Mu Feng smiled and said: "Yes, but you only have thirty furs, and they are all small furs. I can only give you half a jar of salt!"

"Half a can?" The man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded hastily, "Yes, yes!"

Mu Feng said again: "Because your furs are too small, this time the stone jar will be given to you, but remember to return it to us when you come to trade next time!"

"Yes, yes!" The members of the Hongluan Department left happily one by one.

Obviously, this time they came to the market to trade, they never expected it to be so smooth.
After the members of the Hongluan tribe left, Bai Yue asked in a low voice: "Chief, didn't we plan to annex the Hongluan tribe, why are we still trading with them now?"

Han Shu at the side also said doubtfully: "That's right, their furs are not enough, they are still so small, why trade with them."

Mu Feng smiled and said: "The deal with them is just for show, the real deal will come later!"

As he spoke, he whispered to the two of them: "Have you seen those two other tribes? They are the focus of our deal!"

"They?" The two looked puzzled.

Mu Feng explained a few words in a low voice, and the two of them suddenly understood.

Soon, the movement of the Hongluan family returning with half a jar of salt caught the attention of others—especially the two newcomers.

The two groups of people looked suspiciously at Hong Luan's department, then looked at Mu Feng and the others on the table, and then came to Mu Feng one after another.

"What do you want to trade?" Mu Feng asked, looking like a stall owner, "I can exchange anything here, as long as you bring out the corresponding things!"

The two groups of people obviously didn't understand Mu Feng's advertising slogan, you look at me, I look at you, and one of them spoke first: "We want salt and weapons!"

Another group of people also said: "We also want weapons and salt!"

Mu Feng nodded: "Where are your things, let me see!"

The two groups of people each took out their own things, which were all fur.

Mu Feng sighed, frowned and said, "It's fur again, isn't there anything else?"

The two groups of people tightened their faces.

Because they heard the meaning of Mu Feng's words: I have no shortage of furs!

Everyone knows that in the market, the hard currency is salt and weapons.

These two things can be exchanged with others at will, and no one will refuse.

But fur is not.

The rule of the market is that after both parties to the transaction have taken a fancy to the other party's things, they will exchange things according to a fixed ratio after confirming that there is no problem.

But if one party does not agree, the deal cannot be completed.

As for how the rejected party gets what they want, that is a matter after the end of the market, but in the market they can only follow the rules.

A group of people asked in an obscure voice: "Didn't you just want fur?"

Mu Feng shook his head: "We won't have any shortage of furs after taking them. If you come first, it will definitely be yours and not theirs!"

After a pause, he added another sentence: "Think about it, if what you take is salt, and everyone exchanges furs with you, what will happen to you?"

Both groups were silent.

The answer is self-evident: they will not agree!

The head of another group asked in a vague voice: "Can you exchange it with us this time, just once, and we will give you other things in the future!"

Another group of people also took advantage of the situation and said: "The same is true for our Giant Elephant Department. As long as you exchange it for us this time, we will definitely exchange it for other things next time. Tell us what you want!"

Mu Feng sighed: "We really have no shortage of furs!"

As he said that, Mu Feng glanced at Han Shu.

Han Shu directly took out two stacks of bear skins from under the table, there were fifty or sixty of them, and they were all covered with dust, obviously they hadn't been used for a long time.

Mu Feng pointed to the bear skin: "Hey, you see, we want to exchange the fur for other things! The tribe just now had less money to exchange, so I suffered a bit, so the transaction went through, but You have taken out so many furs, no matter what, you have to get out two jars of salt, this is too much loss, I can't trade with you!"

The man who claimed to be the head of the Giant Elephant Department struggled, and finally looked at Mufeng with almost pleading eyes, and looked at Mufeng with a hoarse voice: "Then what do you want to trade?"

Mu Feng said: "Population! Especially women, even men are fine!"

The man's complexion changed, his face struggled, and then he even looked left and right at the people behind him!

Before he could open his mouth, Mu Feng shook his head: "Forget it, you are so small, the tribe is probably waiting for you to go back and protect it, let's save it!"

The man frowned, extremely helpless, and asked hoarsely: "Then how can you be willing to trade?"

Another group of people—that is, the Yellow Bird Department, was also watching Mu Feng nervously at this time.

Looking at their frowning faces, Mu Feng sighed, as if he had made up his mind, he asked, "Why don't you pay on credit?"
