When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Who takes medicine because it tastes good?

It's not for the purpose of curing illness.

Xie Jiu was in good health when he was young, and every time he stopped taking medicine, he would gradually get better. So, he became even more excited, saying, "Look, I got better even without taking medicine, so why waste the money?"

Even Xie Jiu's mother's feather duster couldn't calm him down. Xie Jiu was very stubborn about taking medicine, which gave Wei Dong a headache because he had previously praised him for growing up and becoming sensible!

Sure enough, some people just refuse to change.

So what can be done?

In the end, there was nothing they could do but let him be. Weidong observed him for a few days and found that Xie Jiu really didn't seem to have any discomfort after stopping the medication. There was nothing else he could do.

King Dongshan was relieved, and he could finally stop taking the bitter medicine.

However, he felt very happy to see Wei Dong worried about his health.

He liked Wei Dong's eyes revolving around him. When he saw him caring about others, no matter what the reason was, he would be unhappy and look at others with cold eyes.

Weidong was helpless about this. He scolded Xie Jiu many times but he didn't change. He could only ignore his childish behavior.

Wei Dong led a group of people to the venue, it was already dark.

The evening party was more lively, there were competitions during the day, and there was a bit of a tense atmosphere.

At night, all that was left was revelry. The enthusiasm of the grassland people was very unrestrained, and the lively laughter in the venue almost reached the sky.

Several tribal leaders drank and chatted with Weidong. Because some deals were reached during the day and both sides were very satisfied, they did not discuss business in the evening and were all very relaxed to communicate their feelings.

These tribe leaders have lived a rather hard life in the past few years, and there have been constant wars on the grassland. Every time a war breaks out, small tribes like theirs are always the first to suffer.

Young men were conscripted to fight in the war, and only a few returned. The livestock that had been raised with great difficulty were driven away to be used as military rations, leaving only children and the elderly in the tribe to struggle to make ends meet.

How many people suffered from hunger and cold, and how many people died in the night without anyone knowing.

After finally getting to the point where there is no war, several tribal leaders on the grassland are starting to stir up trouble again. Today one patriarch is getting married, and tomorrow another patriarch has a baby.

Whether you like it or not, you have to send a generous gift, otherwise, trouble will soon find you.

The small tribe was struggling to survive in such an environment, so its development was very slow. Weidong’s arrival gave them new hope.

They can get rich supplies by working for Weidong, so that their tribe can get out of poverty sooner, so of course they are willing to do it.

What's more, what Weidong asked them to do was very easy to do.

The chief of the Bear Tribe said happily:

"Boss Dong, don't worry. We have the most camels in our tribe. We in the Bear Tribe will definitely deliver all the beautiful colored stones you like to the tiankeng outside the Xishoujiang City."

People in the Central Plains just think it's strange. They don't think those colored stones are rare. They have been lying under their feet for countless days and nights, and no one is willing to transport them thousands of miles away.

Shopkeeper Dong said that the beautiful colors on these stones are the pigments used to paint exquisite paintings on porcelain, and they require very complicated techniques to extract them.

These things are of no use to their grazing tribe anyway. They find these stones too heavy to build a fence. But Shopkeeper Dong is happy as long as he likes them. He uses these stones that are of no use to the tribe to exchange for herds of livestock. That is a very profitable business.

Therefore, whichever tribe transports more will have a larger herd of livestock in the future, and this is when the advantages of the Bear Tribe become apparent.

Their tribe has the most camels, so they must be the most capable in transporting these heavy stones.

Wei Dong happily toasted with the Bear Tribe to celebrate. The other tribes became jealous. The chief of the Eagle Tribe said:

"Although we don't have as many camels as yours, we have more strong laborers. We must have mined more stones than you. Can your camels carry the entire mountain?"

Although there are several hills of colored stones, can you just carry the mountains away without mining? How can you be so capable? How can you survive?

The chief of the Bear Tribe was unhappy about being spoiled by the Eagle Tribe, so he rolled up his arms and was ready to fight him. The chief of the Eagle Tribe did not back down at all, even though he was much older than the chief of the Bear Tribe.

However, when it comes to seeking benefits for the tribe, we must never give in.

The two old clan leaders started fighting in the field. Instead of trying to stop the fight, the people around them gathered around to cheer for the clan leaders they supported. They are truly a combative nation.

Wei Dong held the wine in his hand and watched the two clan leaders wrestling with a smile. They all followed rules and not all tricks could be used. Although Wei Dong did not understand the details, he could tell that nothing serious would happen.

He just regarded it as a show for enjoyment, watching it with peace of mind, without feeling the slightest bit of guilt for having caused the dispute.

As expected, the chief of the Eagle Tribe was defeated in the end, but he also won everyone's praise. People like him who will fight against opponents and will not be afraid of you just because you are strong are the ones they admire.

Two young men from the Eagle Tribe supported their chief, brushed the dirt off his body, and straightened his clothes.

Seeing that the two clan leaders had already decided the winner, Wei Dong walked over and whispered something to the two clan leaders. The one who had just wanted to throw the other to death immediately shook hands and made peace.

They raised their glasses and toasted each other continuously, as if the other party was their long-lost brother. Their eyes were warm, their words were cheerful, and they drank one glass after another.

Xie Jiu was puzzled and looked at Wei Dong with puzzled eyes. Wei Dong understood and leaned close to his ear with a curled mouth, whispering to him,

I briefly explained my thoughts to the two people:

"I said you can cooperate in quarrying stones! You see, the Eagle Tribe, which has sufficient manpower, can be responsible for mining; the Bear Tribe has more camels, so it can take on the task of transporting ore.

In this way, you will form a good situation with clear division of labor and each doing their own job. Moreover, this will definitely be more efficient than working alone, and you will earn more!

After you finish mining and get the profits, you can distribute the profits fairly and reasonably according to everyone's contribution. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Xie Jiu looked at Wei Dong with bright eyes and thought: Such a wise Wei Dong is really likable!

But are the colored stones really used to extract pigments? He suspected that these stones had other uses, but Wei Dong had never told him about it, so he didn't ask.

After all, these things are what Weidong wants, and he must have a use for them.
