Chapter 309
Only Fan Lihua could articulate the situation of the Prairie. None of the Dragons in the Clouds had ever set foot on the Prairie. As for Fudler, although he belonged to the Rong Clan, the North Barbarian Tribe was situated a staggering hundred and eighty thousand li away from here, leaving him equally uninformed.
According to Fan Lihua, there were more than a dozen tribes scattered across the Prairie, each varying in size, with the Xirong Clan being the largest of them.
The Rong Clan had neither literacy nor currency, and even lacked a semblance of political structure. Given such, it was no surprise that the Empire regarded them as barbarians. They didn't recognize the Empire's copper coins. Of course, gold and silver had always been universally accepted, albeit undervalued.
People here preferred bartering, still operating in the most rudimentary stage of commerce.
