Chapter 196 Chief Moody: This is absolutely impossible
"Is this a Transsion phone?"
"I've heard about it in town!"
"It seems like it'll cost over a hundred dollars? That's too expensive, and our tribe doesn't have internet access, so it's unusable."
The crowd sighed softly, a mixture of envy and regret.
Sharif shook his head: "No, no, no, although there was no signal before, we should be able to make calls now!"
"Look-"
"There are three bars of 4G network signal here!"
He pointed to the upper right corner of his phone, where the signal icon showed three bars of signal [4G], barely enough to access the internet.
Making phone calls is no problem at all!
This is because there is a signal base station located near the border between the Nasir and Ethiopian tribes, and it is also deployed on a mountaintop, providing long-distance signal coverage that extends deep into the Ethiopian tribe.
Although these base stations have low power, they are technologically advanced. In addition, the country has few wireless devices, resulting in clean electromagnetic noise and no complex interference, allowing the signal to travel further!
The area is 10km away from the Nasir tribe.
There's basically no signal!
However, without a phone card from [Anna Duchy United Telecommunications], you cannot connect to the internet.
You can only call the emergency number for the [Duchy of Anna].
110、120、119、911、999、995
Both can be called into the emergency rescue center.
Sharif demonstrated by calling his wife, who answered the phone without any delay.
The call quality is excellent!
My mother-in-law's loving reminder:
"Does making a phone call cost money?"
"Hang up! Hang up!"
Sharif replied with a smile, "It's alright, it's free. Calls between base stations within the Duchy of Anna are free."
"Within Solomon Islands, 60 minutes/USD".
"International calls, 30 minutes/USD."
He then demonstrated how to surf the internet and watch videos.
Introduce the welfare benefits of the Duchy of Anna.
They spoke highly of the Duchy of Anna.
Sharif's sister-in-law looked longingly at him, her eyes sparkling, her legs subtly rubbing together as she secretly sighed inwardly:
From now on, my sister and brother-in-law will be city dwellers, but I can only marry someone from the tribe; I have no future at all.
(?4?0?4?7?4?3)呜呜呜～
The brother-in-law couldn't help but complain, "It seems that the Duchy of Anna is not as sinister and ambitious as the clan chief said. It would be great if we could cooperate with the Duchy of Anna as well."
His father remained silent for a moment.
They still tried to exonerate the clan chief: "Whether these foreigners have any ulterior motives or not, no one can say for sure. The clan chief is just afraid of being deceived."
Sheriff nodded slightly: "Actually, Chief Moody wasn't wrong. The Duchy of Anna does want our territory, but they have a price to pay and are willing to buy it with real money."
"The mastermind behind this is incredibly wealthy..."
"Guess how high these people's salaries are?"
You won't believe it—
"A monthly salary of twenty to thirty thousand US dollars!"
"The Duchy of Anna needs our help with work and is willing to hire us, since we don't need much salary."
"They just give you a little money."
"Neither of us will suffer a loss!"
"For them, a few hundred dollars is a daily wage, but we feel that a few hundred dollars a month is pretty good."
To put it bluntly—
"What do we have besides territory?"
"Even leeks (a metaphor for being exploited) complain that we don't make any money."
"They wouldn't even consider it!"
"They're too lazy to exploit us."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile as if waking from a dream.
Yup!
What else do we have that others would covet?
Even the smallest favor they offer can bring us immense benefits; there's absolutely no room for us to lose out.
(T～T)
Cannon fodder? We already have grudges against other tribes, this isn't about being cannon fodder, it's about helping us get revenge!
Exploitation? What value do we have anyway?
Women? They wouldn't sleep with me even if I paid them!
You can buy a Somali girl for a hundred dollars. They can buy several pairs with their daily wage. Why would they need to rob yours?
Are you bored after eating?
(￣へ￣)Cut~
Everyone sighed with mixed feelings.
The clan leader really misjudged this time...
Look how well the Nasir tribe is doing now! Sharif's birthday gift was two bags of flour weighing a full 100 jin (50 kg).
Worth $50!
Normally, I would never dare to buy this kind of flour.
Because this is imported grain. Somalia mainly produces grains like corn, which have high yields and low prices.
High-quality flour $0.5 per pound
Inferior flour: $0.3 per pound
Corn flour $0.15/catties
Even setting aside high-quality flour, coarse whole wheat flour is twice as expensive as locally produced cornmeal.
This cornmeal is the kind used to feed livestock in rural areas; it's very coarse when you knead it, and even coarser when you eat it!
It's not the mixed grain cornmeal sold in stores.
That's cornmeal that has been peeled, finely ground, and sieved.
So, some people find it strange that cornbread buns are clearly tastier than steamed buns! They have a sweet and soft texture, so why do older generations say that cornbread is very unpalatable?
Because they are not the same concept at all!
Most of the cornmeal you eat is discarded, leaving only a small portion of the delicate, sweet essence.
Coarse corn flour processed by small machines.
The texture is similar to bran.
Its nutritional value is far inferior to that of flour.
Genuine "whole grains".
However, even with this coarse cornmeal, many people in the Sogdian tribes still suffer from severe malnutrition and are not able to get enough to eat.
Being full is a happy thing!
The Nasir tribe can now not only have enough to eat, but also own property in towns and enjoy a modern, technologically advanced lifestyle.
How could they not be envious?
I hope Sharif will take good care of me in the future!
Their attitude was incredibly enthusiastic.
Sharif was showered with praise and felt incredibly happy. His loyalty and gratitude to the Duchy of Anna were beyond words.
He was very clear that all of this was thanks to the Duchy of Anna. Without the Duchy of Anna, the villagers of the Nasir tribe would not have such a wonderful life, and he had to resolutely protect it.
That night, they stayed overnight at the Ethiopian tribe's home.
My sister-in-law seemed preoccupied.
He seemed distracted and absent-minded.
The brother-in-law helplessly urged, "If you want it, go for it boldly, otherwise you'll never have a chance. Just don't regret it later."
My sister-in-law blushed as she made up her mind.
She sneaked into her brother-in-law's room in the dark.
Sharif: Holy crap? (￣皿￣)
Thank you, Duchy of Anna!
loyalty! (T～T)ゞ
The next day, he left Hevd as a dowry. Soccolyte law allows polygamy, so there was no problem with that!
...
It's not just Sharif; many sons-in-law from the Nasir tribe can put on a big show when they return to the Ethiopian tribe!

All sorts of fancy things and displays of wealth captivated the girls of the Esaide tribe, leading to a continuous stream of girls marrying into the Nasir tribe, including as concubines.
Conversely, the girls of the Nasir tribe are unwilling to marry into the Esaid tribe, and there has even been a wave of broken engagements!
After all, those who stay will become city dwellers.
Who would like to go to an Ethiopian tribe and become a native?
(￣へ￣)
The number of women has plummeted, creating a severe trade deficit—this is no joke, and Chief Modi is furious.
"How is this possible? Absolutely impossible!"
"The Nasir tribe has definitely been scammed."
