This Is My Primitive Tribe

"Chief, allocate the new ship to our fishing team, we have experience in sailing."

Jing Jie looked eagerly at Jiang Xuan, hoping Jiang Xuan would allocate the ship to the fishing team.

Jiang Xuan said, "Don't rush, the new ship will definitely be allocated to your fishing team, but not now."

"Why?"

Jing Jie was quite puzzled.

"Because there are still many issues with the new ship. After the trial voyage, it needs to return to the shipyard for further improvements. Only once the improvements are completed can it be handed over to the fishing team."

"By that time, I hope you can establish a specialized fleet capable of not only fishing in distant places but also trading with tribes along the river, both of which are good options."

"Of course, once you leave the Vine Tribe's territory, dangers can occur at any moment. You might encounter water beasts in the rivers, reefs, or other tribal people seizing your supplies..."

"In short, to establish a fleet, you must be prepared to face life-threatening situations at any time. Success will bring you many rewards, failure might cost you your life."

Jiang Xuan made the dangers of the voyage clear to Jing Jie, without any concealment.

Jing Jie said seriously, "Chief, hunting is dangerous, fishing is dangerous, fighting with other tribes is also dangerous."

"Tribal life is born accompanied by danger, so we are not afraid of death!"

The warriors beside Jing Jie chimed in, "That's right, Chief, we are not afraid of death!"

Jiang Xuan looked at these brave warriors and smiled.

Tribal people may be barbaric and uncultured, but they have the courage to face death head-on, a courage that many civilized people lack.

Jing Jie was right, tribal life is born with danger as its companion. Food, clothing, and all necessary materials must be fiercely fought for; fearing death solves no problems.

"Alright, once the new ship improvements are completed, I will establish a special fleet with members selected from your fishing team."

"I have only one requirement: make sure the entire Southern Wilderness and even places farther away recognize our Vine Tribe's Totem Banner!"

Jiang Xuan's words filled Jing Jie and the fishermen warriors with excitement, eager to set sail immediately.

However, one warrior asked softly, "Chief, what is a Totem Banner?"

Jing Jie glared at him and said, "You talk too much, you'll find out then, won't you?"

Jiang Xuan waved his hand, signaling Jing Jie not to scold the warrior, and personally explained, "The Totem Banner is painted with our Vine Tribe's totem patterns using special dyes on a large piece of beast hide, then hung high up."

"This way, others can see the totem patterns on the banner from afar and know that we from the Vine Tribe have arrived."

Actually, the best material for creating totem banners is fabric, because it is lightweight and soft, able to flutter in the wind.

However, the Vine Tribe currently lacks fabric and can only use thin, soft beast hides as much as possible.

"So that's it."

Jing Jie and the fishermen warriors realized and nodded one after another.

"Alright, continue fishing; we will continue the trial voyage!"

Jiang Xuan boarded the new ship again, and the shipyard personnel also went up. Then, they hoisted the sails once more, weaving through Feiyu River, testing the ship's performance, recording shortcomings for future improvements.

Jing Jie and others continued fishing, occasionally glancing at that new ship, hoping that the fleet could be established soon.

...

Vine Tribe Residential Area.

The Old Witch did not continue carving the Great Wilderness Hundred Herbs Map today. Instead, he held a golden Bronze Blade Coin and a gemstone knife coin made from high-quality stone.

Although the gemstone knife coin was far superior in sharpness and hardness compared to the Bronze Blade Coin, the Old Witch's focus was drawn to the Bronze Blade Coin.

This is because it is a material he has never seen before and a purpose he never imagined.

Both of these knife coins were obtained by trading beast teeth and beast bones at the Trading Area.

Originally, he was just feeling restless, wanting to wander around the Trading Area. Unexpectedly, he found the Vine Tribe's Trading Area had already changed dramatically.

Firstly, the types of goods have become more diverse, and most of the goods bear the Vine Tribe's totem pattern logo.

Secondly, stores are increasing in number, and now the Trading Area even has a kind of store called an "Inn," where one can eat and stay overnight, which is very convenient.

Finally, and most importantly, are these knife coins.

Over time, nearby tribal people and wanderers have discovered the benefits of knife coins.

Whether used for slicing meat, peeling beast hide, or for trading, they are very popular.

The most crucial thing is that a stone knife, once worn out, can only be sharpened again or discarded.

Whereas, even if a Vine Tribe knife coin is severely worn, the Vine Tribe is responsible for recycling it, though its value would be discounted!

Now most people who come to the Vine Tribe Trading Area for trading will first exchange the goods they brought for knife coins, and then use the knife coins to buy items from the Trading Area, or to pay for food and lodging.

"Terrifying, terrifying, just how much benefit can small knife coins bring to the Vine Tribe?"
