At the center of the tribe, in the yard enclosed by the largest reed poles and mud, Xia Ping'an met his mother, the patriarch of the tribe, and had his first meal in the world.

Shennong's mother is a kind but lacking dignity woman, her eyes are kind and wise, she sits at home with a straight back, and 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 his thoughts, everyone in the room looked at him with incredible eyes widened.

"Mutual market, what is this, take everyone's things out for others to fetch, how can this make people willing?" The matriarch thought while looking at Xia Ping An.

After all, what Xia Pingan just said was something that no one had thought of before, and it took a little effort for everyone to understand.

"Ama, the mutual market is to allow people in our tribe to exchange things with each other. For example, if I hunted a wild boar today, the wild boar will not be eaten by our family. If it is left for a long time, it will be broken, and I want it. With a stone knife and some firewood, I can take out the extra wild boar and exchange it with others for what I want!

There are many people who want to eat meat at home, and those who want to eat meat at the stonemason's home who have polished their stone knives, they can exchange their own things for wild pork with me! "

"Then who will change with you? Do you want to take the wild boar to ask alone?" Shennong's sister asked.

For this kind of thing that has never appeared before, it is a bit 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 other people's things, how to exchange, how to exchange more The exchange is up to the two parties of the exchange to discuss, as long as both parties agree to exchange, I think everyone will be willing!"

As soon as Xia Ping'an explained carefully, the matriarch quickly understood. The matriarch's eyes were bright and looked at Xia Ping'an with a relieved look. She was quite moved by Xia P'an's suggestion, and more importantly, Xia Ping's today's The suggestion is to let the matriarch understand that his son has finally grown up and can share the worries for the tribe and himself.

"Leave it to you to run the tribal bazaar. You can try it. I will arrange two people to help you. At your request, how many days can the tribal bazaar be completed as soon as possible?"

"It will be done in three days!" Xia Ping'an said confidently.

"Okay, let's see the effect in three days!" said the matriarch, turning her head and whispering to the guards around her. It was only a short while, and the guards around the matriarch brought two helpers to Xia Ping'an. , Let those two people listen to Xia Ping's instructions these days.

Xia left the house with two helpers excitedly.

But that night, almost everyone in the entire tribe had heard of one thing. In a few days, there will be a bazaar in the tribe so that everyone can exchange things in the bazaar.

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 made people continue to make public opinion preparations 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 find a large open space in the tribe. And a few wooden stakes were booked around the open space, and the place was enclosed with plant ash.

Life in the tribes of this era is not entertaining and boring. For people in the tribe, in addition to eating and sleeping, they are hunting and picking wild fruits or chopping wood and grind stone, even if they can rest. For a moment, it was just a daze, and there was nothing to do.

I heard that there will be a bazaar in the tribe. After three days, everyone can take their own things to the bazaar in the middle of the day in exchange for other people's things. The people in the tribe are all excited and full of curiosity about this new thing. And look forward to.

Xia Pingan asked people who wanted to exchange things to bring straw mats and their own things to the market three days later. Everyone puts the straw mats on the ground and puts their own things on the straw mats, and then they can trade with others. In exchange for other people's things, barter.

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. Almost all the people in the tribe came out, and all of them flocked to the establishment of Xia Pingan. Some are here to exchange things, and some are to watch the excitement.

At the beginning, everyone didn't know how to exchange things with others. Xia Ping'an brought a head and used some of the meat he had beaten. He exchanged a little firewood and a little straw mat. Xia Ping'an arranged two cares. Then I exchanged something with firewood and meat.

Someone takes the lead, and with an example, everyone understands this. 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 Ping An, other people also tried to use their own things and exchange them for what they needed.

The market on the grass suddenly became lively.

Seeing this "First Market in the World" with his own eyes, Xia Ping'an was full of emotion. The ancestors of Huaxia people were pragmatic and innovative. Where are the messy talks of later generations, and they devalued the status of merchants and craftsmen to nothing.

According to certain traditions, one of the three emperors, Shennong, was the founder of merchants, farmers, artisans, and doctors, and was also the patron saint of these professions.

Shennong took these ordinary people to create the history of Chinese civilization.

No wonder Lao Tzu said, "A great way is broken, there is benevolence and righteousness", "Wisdom comes out, there are 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 exploded with great enthusiasm for being able to 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 Ping'an 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 Ping's prestige in the tribe suddenly came out. 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 of 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 it on a flat ground with a pile of firewood.

Many funerary pottery unearthed in later generations, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com sees the temperature of the pottery, which is burned 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 person 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 played in the mud for a whole 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.

In the end, Xia Pingan put the dishes he made out of clay in the earthen kiln, and then piled it on firewood. After only two or three hours of burning, his first batch of pottery was fired, and it was a success.

A few days later, when Xia Pingan took the first batch of bowl-shaped pottery he 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 Ping'an's imagination.

The eyes of the people in the tribe looking at the earthy dishes made by Xia Pingan are 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 eating can be diversified, and many foods and things can be stored in a better way.

just replaced the first batch of pottery dishes, Xia Ping'an found out that in just one day, he became the richest man in this tribe, and his prestige was even higher.

Shennong started everything smoothly. Within a month, Xia Changan accomplished two major things.

With things, achievements, prestige, and someone listens to words, then it's easy to invent and create, lead people to farm and open up wasteland...
