Prehistoric Chef

Chapter 189 Settlement

After the cold winter, the weather is getting colder every day, but the city of Changhe is getting busier every day.

After three seasons of busy work, many residents have reaped quite well. Long River City's taxes are not high. As long as you don't be lazy, after paying the grain tax that you should pay, the residents can't finish the surplus grain. Some people who are good at management will exchange food for coins, and then use the coins to rent a large number of slaves from the tribe, and let the slaves reclaim wasteland for them to grow more food. The surplus food is used to raise livestock. Good ones are sold directly to other people or tribes, and the coins exchanged can be used to buy fields adjacent to their own land, to buy land to build houses in Changhe City, and to open small shops in the city.

The nomadic herdsmen will return to the tribe before the cold winter, gather in several trading areas designated by the tribe, sell the grown livestock, and exchange for the grain and grass enough for the remaining livestock to survive the winter, and a large amount of coins, and leave them in the village. The tribe waited until the cold winter was over before continuing to graze.

No matter the farmers who mainly cultivate or the herdsmen who live by grazing, there is nothing to do in the cold winter, and the fruits of the harvest are exchanged for coins. Under the regulation of the leader, the tribe has very good law and order. There is no need to worry about the tribe being looted at any time as in the past, let alone the problem of starvation.

Life is peaceful and rich, and everyone has money and leisure, so they will naturally want to consume.

With the continuous changes and development of Changhe City, the tribal gatherings held once a year before the cold winter have gradually disappeared due to the overlap with the autumn harvest. Instead, after the autumn harvest ends and the cold winter comes, people will sell the surplus food, the witchcraft that they planted or picked, the inexhaustible fruits, the grown livestock, etc., to various towns for purchase after paying the food tax. caravan. They will directly exchange some with the caravan, the necessities of life such as salt and tools they need, and exchange the excess into coins.

Some people would save their coins and send their little ones to study in Changhe City.

There are also people who save coins to buy bricks, tiles and concrete to repair and build houses. In the past ten years, the dwarves have mastered the method of firing bricks and tiles with ordinary clay, and preparing cement with a certain proportion of lime and volcanic ash. Ordinary bricks and tiles are not as good as bricks and tiles made of super-sticky mixture in terms of quality and appearance, but they are much stronger and more beautiful than mud brick houses, and the cost is not too high. In a good one or two years, you can save enough money to build a new house, and in a bad case, you can save a small house in four or five years.

There have been quite a few people building houses in the past few years. Many brick kilns have been expanded in Changhe City, and the supply of brick, tile and cement is still in short supply.

More people who are not married, are looking for a partner, or already have a house and live affluently, etc., they prefer to go to Changhe City to buy and buy after changing coins.

Changhe City will never lack fresh and rare trade goods. For the natives of this world, as long as they can imagine, Changhe City will sell almost everything, and Changhe City will not lack anything they can't imagine.
