At the center of the tribe, in the yard enclosed by the largest reed poles and mud, Xia Pingan saw her mother, the patriarch of this tribe, and ate him Come to the first meal in this world.

Shennong’s mother is an amiable but lacking dignity woman. She has kind eyes and a wise look. She sits at home with an upright back. The scepter she holds in her hand and the strong female guards around her will never Let anyone dare to despise her.

When Xia Pingan said her thoughts, everyone in the whole room stared wide-eyed incredibly stared wide-eyed at him.

"Mutual market, what is this, do you take out everyone's things for others to fetch, how can this make people willing?" The female patriarch thought while looking at Xia Pingan.

After all, what Xia Pingan just said is something that no one has thought of. It takes a little effort for everyone to understand.

"Grandma, the exchange market is to allow people in our tribes to exchange things with each other. For example, I brought a wild boar for hunting today. The wild boar will not be eaten by our family, and it will be broken after a long time. And I want a stone blade and some firewood, I can take out the extra wild boar and exchange it with others for what I want!

Some people want to eat meat with firewood.

Yes, there is a stonecutter who polishes the stone blade at home and wants to eat meat. You can use your own things to exchange wild boar with me!"

"Who would exchange it with you? Do you want to take wild boar? Should someone ask?" Shennong's elder sister asked.

For this kind of thing that has never appeared before, it is a little difficult for everyone to understand it for the first time.

"Don’t need to ask one by one, we just need to find a place in the tribe, gather people who want to exchange things, let them go there to see, exchange their own things for others’ Things, how to exchange, how to exchange more for less, are discussed by both parties. As long as both parties agree to exchange, I think everyone will be willing!" After Xia Pingan explained carefully, the female patriarch quickly understood After coming over, the female patriarch looked bright and looked at Xia Pingan with a relieved look. She was quite moved by Xia Pingan’s suggestion. More importantly, the female patriarch’s suggestion today made her understand that her son, Finally grown up, I can share the worries for the tribe and myself.

"Let you handle the operation of the tribal bazaar. You can try it. I will arrange two people to help you. At your request, the tribal bazaar can be set up in a few days. Good?"

"It will be done in three days!" Xia Pingan said confidently.

"Okay, let's see the effect in three days!" The female patriarch said, turning her head and whispering to the guard next to her. It only took a while, and the guard next to the female patriarch gave it to Xia. Pingan brought two helpers and asked them to listen to Xia Pingan's instructions the past few days.

Xia Pingan was excited and left the house with two helpers.

...

Only that night, almost everyone in the entire tribe had heard of one thing. In a few days, there will be a market in the tribe and let Everyone can exchange things in the market.

What is the market? What is the mutual market? No one in the tribe understands, but everyone finds it very new.

In the next two days, Xia Pingan continued to make people prepare for public opinion in the tribe, and promoted the benefits of the bazaar and how to exchange for things at the bazaar. On the other hand, he let people stay in the tribe. Randomly found a large vacant lot, and booked a few wooden stakes around the vacant lot, and circled the place with plant ash.

The life in the tribe in this era is not entertaining and boring. For people in the tribe, apart from eating and sleeping every day, it is hunting and picking wild fruits or cutting wood and grinding stone blades. Even if I can take a break, I’m just in a daze, with nothing to do.

I heard that there is a market in the tribe. After three days, everyone can take their own things to the market in exchange for other people’s things in the middle of the day. People in the tribe are all excited. Full of curiosity and expectation for this new thing.

Xia Pingan lets people who want to exchange things come to the market three days later with straw mats and their own things. Everyone puts the straw mats on the ground and puts their own things on the straw mats. On the other hand, you can trade with others in exchange for other people's things, bartering for things.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Three days later, at mid-day, the place where Xia Pingan was preparing for the market was crowded with people from the tribe. The people from the whole tribe almost came out. , All came to the market set up by Xia Pingan, some to exchange things, some to watch the excitement.

At the beginning, everyone didn’t know how to exchange things with others. Xia Pingan brought a head and used some meat from brother, exchanged some firewood, and exchanged some straw mats. Xia The two trays that Pingan arranged were also replaced with firewood and meat.

Someone takes the lead, and with an example, everyone will understand this time, it turns out that this market is where everyone can exchange their own things for other people's things.

This method is really good. Everyone can get together and exchange everything.

So soon, starting with Xia Pingan, other people also tried to use their own things and exchange them for what they needed.

The market on the grass suddenly became lively.

Looking at this "first market in the world" with my own eyes, Xia Pingan was full of emotions. The ancestors of the Chinese people were pragmatic and innovative. Where are the messy talks of the later generations and the merchants and craftsmen The status is degraded to nothing.

According to certain traditions, Shennong of One of the Three Sovereigns is the Founder Old Ancestor of merchants, farmers, artisans, and doctors, and is also the Guardian God of these professions.

Shennong created the history of Chinese civilization with these ordinary persons.

No wonder Lao Tzu said, "The great way is broken, there is benevolence and righteousness", "Wisdom comes out, there is great hypocrisy." Sometimes, there are more "experts", and the black and white right and wrong in this world are reversed!

……

Everyone in the entire tribe burst out with great enthusiasm for the fact that they can exchange their own things for other people's things.

The tribal bazaar was a great success on the first day. Those who participated in the exchange felt that they had received benefits and benefits.

In the following month, Xia Pingan held an exchange in the tribe every five days, and each exchange greatly facilitated the lives of the tribe people.

After successfully holding seven or eight exchanges, Xia Pingan’s prestige in the tribe quickly emerged. The manpower assigned to him by his mother has changed from the first two people to four people. .

With the manpower, many things will be easier to handle.

Xia Pingan began to lead people around the tribe to find clay suitable for firing pottery, and soon found it. With clay, the firing pottery was put on Xia Pingan’s schedule. ......

The pottery of this era is actually very simple to fire. As long as you find clay, even if you don’t have a cave dwelling, you can make a pile of firewood on the flat ground.

Many funerary pottery unearthed in later generations, depending on the temperature of the pottery, they were fired on a flat ground with wood fire. There is no kiln at all.

Of course, Xia Pingan would not be so rough. He led a man to dig a simple earthen kiln on the hillside that was as high as one person, and the earthen kiln could pile up firewood to burn pottery.

Xia Pingan played in the mud for a day, and used the clay to knead some crude-looking dishes and prepare them as the first batch of pottery to be fired. Let the people following him find some firewood.

Finally, Xia Pingan put the dishes he kneaded out of clay in the earthen kiln, and piled it on firewood. After only two or three hours of burning, his first batch of pottery was fired. It's a success.

A few days later, when Xia Pingan took the first batch of bowl-shaped pottery he had made to the exchange market, the whole tribe became a sensation again.

That bowl is good, you can hold water, you can hold food, it looks expensive.

In an era when there were almost no containers, the first batch of pottery made a sensation beyond Xia Pingan's imagination.

The eyes of those people in the tribe looking at the earthy dishes made by Xia Pingan are almost like modern people looking at a pile of diamonds. Many people are willing to pay a huge price in exchange for a pottery. bowl.

With pottery, cooking and diet can be diversified, and many foods and things have better storage methods.

Just swapping out the first batch of pottery dishes, Xia Pingan found out that in just one day, he became the richest man in this tribe, and his prestige brought it up a level .

Shennong started well. In less than a month, Xia Changan completed two major events.

With things, achievements, prestige, and someone who listens to words, then it will be easy to invent and create, lead people to farm and reclaim wasteland...
