Capital Datang

Chapter 427 The Gold Mine Brought by Gold Jewelry

Hearing that Lu Wan agreed to the deal, all the people in Mo Li's Department cheered, and began to bargain with Liu Kata with the goods on their heads. Although there were other interpreters on board, Liu Kata was the only one who could understand the other party's language, so I can only trouble him to communicate with the other party.

The Ministry of Moli has not yet entered the stage of private ownership, and the property of the tribe is public, which also reduces the trouble in the transaction. It is only necessary for Liu Kata to set a transaction price for Lu Modo, stipulating food, fur, etc. The exchange ratio of goods and porcelain, the next step is to count the other party's goods, and then give them porcelain or silk according to the requirements of the Ministry of Moli.

While exchanging goods, many sailors who were okay gathered around, looking around at the tribesmen of the Mori tribe with thieves' eyes, especially those women with a lot of ornaments on their bodies, which were the focus of their observation.

This is not because the crew are lustful, but because they are here to try their luck. According to past experience, some natives may not even have enough to eat, but they often have some very valuable things on them, such as various unprocessed gems , gold, etc. In the eyes of the natives, these things may be just some beautiful little stones, which are often worn as accessories, especially on women. If they can be found, then they can use some very cheap things to put If those accessories are exchanged, then it will be a windfall.

The first one to gain something was Er Hanzi, who was born as a hunter, and his eyes were sharper than anyone else's. Soon, a girl from the Moli clan was wearing a string of chains, which looked like she was using a kind of Small yellow stones are strung together, but if you look carefully, those small stones have a metallic texture, and if you have bad eyesight, you really can't tell.Capital Datang 427

The so-called opportunity must not be missed, the second fool saw the chain on the girl's hand.Immediately pulled Liu Kata, who had just been idle, to stop the other party.And this girl from the Moli department was happily stroking the silk she just got with the aunt next to her. When she saw the second fool blocking her way, she thought that the other party had taken a fancy to her, although she felt that these people came by big boat The person looks very strange, not as handsome as the young man in the clan, but if the other party is willing to exchange silk, she doesn't mind going with the other party. a wink.

But when Erhanzi saw the winking eyes of the other party.But her whole body trembled. This girl from the Moli Department bare her upper body. She has a good figure, but unfortunately she is too dark, especially her thick lips.And the occasional exposure of a few yellow dies made Erhanzi feel cold all over his body. He even felt that even Fu Rong, the ugliest girl in the east of his hometown village, was a hundred times more beautiful than the girl in front of him.

Although there are many hungry and hungry women in the fleet who have sex with native women, Er Hanzi has never had any, because his hometown has already arranged a marriage for him.Moreover, the other party is a well-known beauty in ten miles and eight villages, much better than Furong, not to mention the native girl in front of him, so he turned a blind eye to the girl's winking eyes.And hurriedly pulled Liu Kata over, asked the other party to translate for him, and told the girl that he wanted to exchange the bracelet on her hand with her.

Under Liu Kata's explanation, the girl quickly understood what Er Hanzi meant.When it was learned that the other party was not interested in her, but in the chain on his hand.I was also a little disappointed. Their tribe, like other tribes, forbids intermarriage within the tribe, so she will definitely marry outside in the future, and the young man in front of her looks strange, but he can take such a big boat, so Their tribe must be very powerful. If she can marry into such a tribe, she will not have to worry about her future life.

However, although the girl was lost, she was still very willing to exchange it. After all, the bracelet on her hand was not expensive, especially when Er Hanzi took out a bracelet made of glass beads from his arms. With bright eyes, he quickly took off the chain on his hand, then stuffed it into the hands of the second fool, and then snatched the glass bracelet, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word, and happily showed it off to the sisters and aunts in the clan.

The moment Erhan received the bracelet, he immediately felt that it was indeed metal, and then saw that he stuffed a yellow stone-like thing on the bracelet into his mouth and bit it, and a clear tooth mark immediately appeared on it , and in the newly bitten place, a charming golden light is emitted.

"Gold, it's really gold!" Liu Kata was right next to Erhanzi, and he could see it most clearly. When he saw the shining golden light, he couldn't help crying out, and at the same time, he was envious of Erhanzi. Good luck to you.

The fact that Erhanzi discovered the gold made the other crew members very excited. According to common sense, since the other party made the gold into a bracelet and exchanged it with Erhanzi without paying attention, it means that the other party may have gold in his hand. With more gold, as long as their eyes are bright enough, they can also make a fortune like the second fool.

But before the second crew member found the gold jewelry, the people in the Moli Department suddenly started to boil. The reason was because of the string of glass beads that Er Hanzi replaced. After all, they grew up so big and had never seen such exquisite Therefore, after hearing that the girl was exchanged from Er Hanzi, she immediately stepped forward and surrounded Er Hanzi, waving the jewelry in her hand to exchange with Er Hanzi.

It’s just that there is something wrong with the girl’s statement. She told the clansman Erhanzi to only accept bracelets, so these people took off all their bracelets. Unfortunately, none of them were made of gold, and most of them were made of small stones of various colors. There are even some made of wood and animal teeth, which makes Erhanzi and Liu Kata dumbfounded.

"Everyone be quiet, what we want is this kind of yellow stone, not your bracelets. If you have something made of this yellow stone, you can exchange it with us!" Liu Kata spoke loudly in the native language and repeated it several times, finally letting the natives who gathered around understand what was going on.

I saw these natives glanced at each other, and then at the gold bracelet in Erhanzi's raised hand. Although they didn't understand why these outsiders were interested in this yellow stone, they were very obedient. He turned around and ran, and after a while, a few natives brought back some gold ornaments, most of which were necklaces and bracelets.Although these primitive ornaments are of great archaeological and artistic value in later generations, in the eyes of uneducated guys like Erhanzi, they only value the value of gold itself.

However, the natives with gold ornaments in their hands asked for glass ornaments by name. Er Hanzi prepared a lot when he went to sea, but he had already consumed almost all of it along the way. The glass bracelet he just replaced was already his last. The same glass products.But he didn't have other crew members. After all, glass is a good and cheap thing, and it is an extremely precious ornament in the eyes of the natives, so every crew member will prepare some private goods made of glass to make a profit.So now seeing that the natives are interested in glass products, many people immediately ran back to the ship to search the old bottom, find the glass products at the bottom of the box and exchange them for gold.

The jewelry transaction here finally alarmed the headman Lu Modo and the captain Lu Wan. When Lu Wan saw that the little Molibu had brought out a lot of gold jewelry, his eyes immediately flashed, and Liu Ka Ta looked at each other, but the other party immediately understood and began to chat with Lu Modo, asking where they got these yellow stones.

Mori Department is still in the stone age, and there is no concept of metal in their minds, let alone precious metals like gold. In their view, these are just heavier yellow stones, although the color is better. , but it is relatively soft, and it cannot be used as a weapon at all, and can only be used as an ornament at most.

However, if Lu Modo can sit on the head of the Moli Ministry, his mind will naturally be much more flexible. Seeing that outsiders like Lu Wan are interested in that kind of yellow stone, and even asked himself about the origin of this kind of stone The place of origin, which made him guess that this kind of stone that is useless to him is very important to these outsiders.

It was also with this in mind that Lu Modo refused to speak about Liu Kata's inquiry at first, and even forbade the clansmen to talk to Liu Kata again. His intention was nothing more than to exchange for some benefits.This made Lu Wan very angry and funny, and finally had to ask someone to take out a mirror from his captain's cabin and give it to him. As a result, when Lu Modo saw it, he was immediately shocked, and he held the mirror and sang and sang After waiting for a long time, he accepted it with a look of awe.

Regarding the location where they found the gold, Lumodo also immediately informed that the gold was not produced on their small island, but on the opposite big island. Lu Modo was worried that they could not find a place, so he even enthusiastically gave them the first girl who traded with the second fool, and asked her to be a guide for Lu Modo. Let them lead the way.

With the deal as the basis, Lu Wan and the others quickly got along with the Moli Department. At noon, Lu Wan generously invited all the members of the Moli Department to have a meal, and planned to inquire about the situation on the big island at the dinner table. Lu Modo was naturally very happy about this. After all, there was a free lunch here, and they certainly had no reason to refuse.Capital Datang 427

The Chinese have always liked to talk about things at the dinner table. It has a very long history. Anyway, this habit already existed in the Tang Dynasty.Although this method is very old, it is indeed very effective. When plates of unsightly but delicious dishes were served, Lu Modo and his tribe finally exposed the essence of barbarians. His arms swung around, stuffing whatever he grabbed into his mouth.

Finally, Lu Wan took some jugs of wine and asked Lu Modo to taste it. Although the other party was not used to it at first, after a few sips, he gradually realized the benefits of wine, but his drinking capacity was not good. After a while, his face was flushed from drinking, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Kata began to ask the other party about the situation on the big island. As a result, the other party naturally knew everything and talked endlessly, even he and others The tribal alliance and the personnel affairs of robbing another tribal woman have all been confessed.

It's just that following Lu Modo's explanation, Lu Wan and the others' complexions slowly darkened, because they suddenly discovered that the big island in front of them might be beyond their imagination, and their Slave Catching Association The benefits obtained here may not be great.The only thing that gave them some comfort was that they found a gold mine here, but they didn't know what its reserves were, and was it worth mining?
