Chapter 225: Zhang Liang's Plan and the Ladder Over the Wall
The chief of the sheep tribe left with the exchanged pottery, feeling deeply touched. The other members of the sheep tribe looked at the chief, who was wearing a hat and gloves, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
"#$SE!"
On the way back, someone from the sheep tribe spoke up to the chief, feeling that they had been somewhat cheated in this trade. According to their estimation, the two items, when separated, didn't even amount to one large sheepskin, yet they had to exchange so many sheepskins for them.
The chief of the sheep tribe took off his hat and placed it on the head of the person who had spoken. Feeling this warmth, the person who had just voiced complaints immediately fell silent.
The hat went around the heads of everyone from the sheep tribe this time and finally returned to the chief's head. The two gloves followed suit.
After experiencing the benefits of these two items firsthand, the members of the sheep tribe looked at them with eager eyes, especially those who often suffered frostbite on their hands, faces, and ears while out in the cold, giving grass to the sheep.
If everyone had such a hat and gloves, how good would that be?
However, the thought of the high cost of these two items made them feel uneasy.
Having one or two of these items in their tribe was acceptable, but everyone couldn't have them, like in that wealthy tribe.
But
They wanted them!
Seeing the expressions of the tribe members, the chief of the sheep tribe already knew what they were thinking. He patted the hat on his head with the gloved hand and said to them in the tribe's language, "You will all have them!"
After hearing this, the people of the sheep tribe became delighted. However, two people who liked to think deeply felt a bit worried.
Today, they saw that in addition to the pottery used for feeding the sheep, they also needed some long pottery from the nearby tribe. They still didn't have these items in their tribe.
When it came time to exchange, they would need a lot of fur or food. Moreover, their tribe was still lacking some pottery bowls, and they couldn't afford to have one for each person.
If the chief used a large amount of fur to exchange for these hats and gloves, would there be enough fur left in their tribe when it came time to exchange for pottery?
One of them expressed his concerns to the chief, who smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Then he proposed his solutionnot to exchange, but to make their hats and gloves using fur, following the example of these two items.
The chief's words, like a ray of sunlight, dispelled the fog lingering in the minds of these people, making them all feel relieved and cheerful.
They cheered around the chief, deeply admiring his wisdom.
The chief of the sheep tribe also felt that he was indeed intelligent and able to come up with such a solution, and he accepted the praise of the tribe members with a clear conscience.
Upon careful reflection of this trip to the Green Sparrow tribe, the chief of the sheep tribe felt very satisfied. His original idea was to take advantage of the trading opportunity to observe how this tribe cultivated things carefully and to exchange for some pottery.
Now, both of these goals had been achieved, and on top of that, they had brought back two jars of delicious salt, a hat, and two gloves.
Furthermore, from now on, their tribe would also have many gloves and hats, so when the tribe members went out again, they wouldn't feel as cold as they do now
While the chief of the sheep tribe imagined this fantastic future, the Eldest Senior Brother and the shaman of the Green Sparrow tribe furrowed their brows slightly, showing signs of worry.
They also realized the severe issue of the hats and gloves being quickly learned from.
These items are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Divine Child, created by him and everyone else in the Green Sparrow tribe. They are unique to their tribe, and they do not want other tribes to learn how to make them.
Moreover, once these tribes learn how to make gloves and hats, they will no longer use fur to exchange with their tribe
As they encounter more and more things, their horizons are gradually expanding. With the influence, intentional or unintentional, of Han Cheng, a time traveler, the shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother of the Green Sparrow tribe are now considering more and more things.
Of course, due to the limitations of their perspectives, misunderstandings still occur occasionally, such as the recent sudden idea from the shaman to start planting rabbits.
But regardless, they are growing at a much faster pace than before.
Not only them but also the surrounding tribes that frequently interact with the Green Sparrow tribe are showing signs of being influenced by Han Cheng.
The course of history has quietly accelerated with the appearance of this time traveler.

Han Cheng cleaned his hands with warm water, stained with black ash, and then dried them by the fire pit while listening to the shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother expressing their concerns.
After listening to their words, Han Cheng was delighted. This showed that they were all thinking for the tribe and constantly brainstorming.
If this had happened when Han Cheng first arrived, they would not have thought of so many things as they do now.
Han Cheng already considered the concerns of the Eldest Senior Brother and the shaman. In his previous life, he had seen many pirated products, such as "Yue Li Yue" and "Zhong Hui Shi Hua," as well as those that could keep up with the updates of the genuine ones
With his extensive experience, how could he quickly release items like hats and gloves, which are extremely easy to imitate, without a corresponding countermeasure?
Han Cheng smiled at the shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother and told them not to worry. He almost took out a feather fan and gently shook it, saying, "I have a way."
He picked up a large piece of animal hide from the bed and showed it to the shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother.
The shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother carefully examined the animal hide.
It was a piece of sheepskin with fine fur, washed very clean, and felt very comfortable to touch. It would be excellent for covering oneself or making into hats and gloves.
However the Green Sparrow tribe had plenty of fur like this, and the sheep tribe had even more. What did the Divine Child mean by showing them this piece of fur? What was the connection with the method he had just mentioned?
The Eldest Senior Brother and the shaman felt like circles flashed before their eyes.
After looking carefully twice and confirming that there were no signs of defects, they looked at each other, and the Eldest Senior Brother asked the shaman about the purpose of showing them this piece of fur.
Seeing that they couldn't figure it out, Han Cheng no longer kept them guessing. He took the piece of fur outside and compared it with the piece just brought by the sheep tribe. The difference immediately became apparent.
In comparison, the piece brought by the sheep tribe could only be discarded. It was dirty but also had a strong smell. Most importantly, the fur was stiff, unlike the soft one in Han Cheng's hand.
The shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother suddenly realized.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They could be as cunning and sly as they wanted
