This Is My Primitive Tribe

"Thank you, Leader. I will certainly not betray your trust!"

Jiang Xuan smiled and patted Bai Ya's shoulder, saying, "Work hard, get the currency sorted out, the tribe will definitely not treat you poorly."

"Hmm!"

Bai Ya nodded heavily, as he was so excited, his whole being was in a state of euphoria.

"Come, let me tell you more about the currency."

Jiang Xuan and Bai Ya walked slowly in the woods, and Jiang Xuan explained to Bai Ya his plans to establish a currency system, the evolution of the future currency system, and the challenges the currency system might face.

After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, Bai Ya felt like a new world had opened up, and his whole being was tingling with excitement.

...

On February 15th, the Coinage Workshop of the Vine Tribe was officially established.

The Coinage Workshop was the only workshop currently built on the eastern bank, constructed within a bamboo forest, with towering walls, and warriors from the Vine Tribe's Guard Team patrolling day and night.

Inside the Coinage Workshop, there were not only clansmen specialized in smelting but also talents transferred from the Stone Workshop.

The currency of the Vine Tribe, from small to large, was divided into Small Knife Coins, Big Knife Coins, and Gemstone Knife Coins made of superior stones.

The following content is repeated and will be updated later.

...

In the smelting workshop, the first set of Knife Coins was produced.

"Clink, clink..."

Jiang Xuan picked up a Big Knife Coin and a Small Knife Coin, knocked them together a few times, producing a crisp metallic sound.

The Big Knife Coin was about two fingers wide, thirty centimeters long, had the Vine Tribe's Totem Pattern on the handle, and a ring at the end.

The Small Knife Coin was about one finger wide, fifteen centimeters long, similar in shape to the Big Knife Coin, just smaller.

Jiang Xuan carefully examined the two types of knife coins and said with satisfaction, "They are cast quite well, even better than I expected."

The warrior nearby asked softly, "Leader, does this thing really have that much utility?"

"Of course, this will be our Vine Tribe's money in the future, money is a good thing, you will see its advantages later on."

Jiang Xuan picked up a Small Knife Coin and said, "This Knife Coin can exchange for ten catties of grain."

The smelting workshop had a balance scale, so these warriors knew roughly how much ten catties of grain was.

Jiang Xuan then picked up a Big Knife Coin and said, "This Big Knife Coin can exchange for one hundred catties of grain!"

When those warriors heard this, their eyes lit up.

The tribal people were very sensitive to and greedy for grain because they had been afraid of hunger. Upon hearing that a Big Knife Coin could exchange for one hundred catties of grain, they suddenly had a different view of these knife coins.

If it really can be exchanged for grain, it is indeed a good thing!

"Not just grain, once we fully promote the Knife Coins, they can buy almost all goods; now you understand how important it is, right?"

Those warriors nodded repeatedly, staring intently at the Knife Coins.

Jiang Xuan glanced at their behavior, raising his vigilance because people are greedy, and what if the smelting workshop people secretly make some knife coins themselves after the authority to mint coins is given?

Some things cannot wait to be resolved only after they occur; it is best to prevent them from happening.

At this moment, a warrior stared at the Knife Coins for a long time and cautiously said to Jiang Xuan, "Leader, one Big Knife Coin can exchange for ten Small Knife Coins, right?"

"That's right." Jiang Xuan looked at him with doubt, unsure of what he wanted to say.

The warrior hesitated for a moment and continued, "What if someone melts the Small Knife Coins and casts them into more Big Knife Coins?"

"What?" Jiang Xuan's face became serious; this was a problem he hadn't considered.

The warrior pointed at the knife coins in Jiang Xuan's hand, "Leader, look, this Big Knife Coin is larger than the Small Knife Coins, but not by much. We can melt at most three Small Knife Coins to cast one Big Knife Coin."

"If someone secretly learns the coin casting technology later and collects a large number of Small Knife Coins, they can melt three Small Knife Coins to cast one Big Knife Coin. But according to what the Leader just said, one Big Knife Coin can actually exchange for ten Small Knife Coins."

The warrior cautiously observed Jiang Xuan, his voice growing smaller, "Then… wouldn't they make a huge profit?"

After listening, Jiang Xuan felt a tightness in his chest; if someone really did this, the Vine Tribe would suffer a huge loss.

He never underestimated the wisdom of the tribesmen, because they were only of limited experience, not foolish; there were many smart people.

No one could guarantee that the Vine Tribe's bronze smelting and casting technology would never be learned by outsiders.

Even if it never was learned by outsiders, who could guarantee under the lure of great profits that no one within the Vine Tribe would take risks and mint coins secretly?

Jiang Xuan looked at this warrior and said, "If I remember correctly, your name is Bai Ya, right?"

"Yes, Leader." Bai Ya was a little excited because the Leader remembered his name.

"Bai Ya, how do you think we should solve this problem?"

Bai Ya thought for a moment and said, "I can only think of one stupid way right now, which is to make the weight of each Big Knife Coin ten times that of a Small Knife Coin. This way, even if someone melts the Small Knife Coins, it won't work."

Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Bai Ya, come with me."

After speaking, Jiang Xuan walked out, and Bai Ya was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed under the envious gaze of the other warriors.

The two walked all the way to the woods near the smelting workshop, and when there was no one around, Jiang Xuan finally stopped and spoke.

"Bai Ya, you've learned arithmetic, haven't you?"

"Yes."

"Good."

Jiang Xuan turned his head, contemplated for a moment, and said, "I plan to set up a Coinage Workshop, specifically responsible for making currency. Do you dare to be a Workshop Master?"

The currency system is a very important and complex system.

The currency system of the Vine Tribe is just beginning to be laid out and will face countless problems and challenges in the future.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan must support a capable person to manage the Coinage Workshop and solve those problems and challenges.

In Jiang Xuan's view, Bai Ya is a person with potential; whether he can unleash that potential to manage the Coinage Workshop depends on his ability.

If he cannot unleash his potential, Jiang Xuan can replace him at any time later.

Bai Ya was very excited inside; he was a smart person and immediately realized that this matter was a huge opportunity for him.

"Since the Leader trusts me, what wouldn't I dare to do?"

"Good, starting tomorrow, I will have the engineering team build a Coinage Workshop. Once it's built, you will be the Workshop Master!"

"Thank you, Leader. I will certainly not betray your trust!"

Jiang Xuan smiled and patted Bai Ya's shoulder, saying, "Work hard, get the currency sorted out, the tribe will definitely not treat you poorly."

"Hmm!"

Bai Ya nodded heavily, as he was so excited, his whole being was in a state of euphoria.

"Come, let me tell you more about the currency."
