I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 133 The Aboriginal Choice
Just kidding, Li Yu didn't forget the purpose of going to the island, so he said, "Qin Er, go and bring some raw food and cloth from the boat."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

"Could it be that Lord Hou wants to civilize these natives?" Zhang Liang asked after hearing the words.

Li Yu nodded, looking at the poorly clothed natives in front of him, he already had a preliminary intention in his heart.

For the aborigines, Li Yu and his group were considered invaders.

As an intruder, Li Yu naturally couldn't and didn't want to take this place by force, and developing it according to local conditions is the right way.

Therefore, the best way is to choose to use the culture and goods of Daqin first, and let these natives assimilate into the people of Daqin.

Follow the aborigines through a coconut grove and then a virgin forest.

A triangular tent made of leaves, a group of naked old and weak children sat around the campfire, and some game was roasted beside the fire.

"There are only a hundred or so aboriginals in such a large virgin forest?" Liu Bang asked without blinking his eyes at the aboriginal woman.

"...Indigenous people are generally divided into ethnic groups to live, and this island is so vast, there should be other indigenous tribes."

While Li Yu and the others were talking, the leader-like native suddenly took out a bone knife made of huge bones and handed it to Li Yu.

After Li Yu took the bone knife, the leader pointed to Qin Ren at the waist of Qin Er and the others, and then pointed to the young woman behind him.

……

Everyone at the scene communicated with him. Although they couldn't speak the language, they were considered quick-witted people, so they guessed that the leader wanted to exchange Qin Ren on his waist with a woman.

For a moment, everyone looked at Li Yu one after another, and it was not difficult to guess from the expression on his face. They all hoped that Li Yu would agree to the leader's request.

Li Yu gave Qin Er and the others a strange look, and then said calmly: "Qin Ren is the guy who eats for you, if you want to give it, then give it."

Qin Er couldn't help swallowing, knowing that what Li Yu said was ironic.

If he really gave Qin Ren to the leader in exchange for a woman, he would lose the qualification to board the ship when the fleet left here.

As soon as Li Yu said this, the restless soldiers and guards behind him suddenly became silent.

Li Yu nodded in satisfaction, and then gestured to the leader, which roughly meant: "No, your woman can't replace the sharp blade of the army behind me."

And the indigenous leader knew in his heart that if he could own those treasured weapons shining coldly behind Li Yu, he would be able to rely on these treasures to conquer other tribes on the island.

Therefore, the indigenous leader gestured with passion in his eyes: "I have other treasures here besides women. If you agree to exchange them with me, I can give you all of them."

The so-called treasures in the mouth of the indigenous leaders are nothing more than some shells, bone knives and the like.

Li Yu shook his head subconsciously, and gestured: "No, there is nothing in this world that is more precious than my weapons."

The indigenous leader's face changed when he saw this, and he hurried back to the simple house where he lived to search.

Seeing that the native leader's face suddenly changed and he ran back to his residence, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help asking: "Master Hou, what did you say to the native leader just now?"

Li Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the indigenous leader wants the weapons in our hands, so he is going to find treasures to barter with us."

"In my opinion, what treasures this native leader can have are nothing more than rotten fish and shrimps, and Lord Hou is really waiting here."

It was Li Cunxiao who was annoyed that the native woman pointed at him and almost made him a target for borrowing, so he said.

And when Li Cunxiao said this, other people naturally thought the same way. After all, they were only natives, so what kind of treasure could they have.

At this moment, the native leader suddenly ran over with several large and small earthen pots in his arms.

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect this group of natives to have clay pots that are common in Daqin in their hands.

But after thinking about it, I was relieved. This place is not far from the coast, and it is normal for some clay pots to fall into the water occasionally.

Li Yu was just the opposite, thinking about what was in the pot.

After the indigenous leader approached, Li Yu's eyes stared into the pot and suddenly widened.

I saw that two of the pottery pots contained many red and blue gemstones the size of pigeon eggs, while the other pottery pot contained a shiny golden lump.

Li Yu couldn't help but blinked his eyes, thinking that he had misread it, and after gathering his composure, he looked into the clay pot, only to be sure that he was not mistaken.

ruby……

sapphire……

Dog head gold...

The value of the three pots in the hands of the indigenous leader instantly increased in Li Yu's eyes.

"The three pots in your hand can exchange me for one knife at most."

After Li Yu gestured, he immediately felt a sense of being cheated.

The native leader showed ecstasy on his face, and quickly handed over the clay pot, and quickly gestured: "Okay, change."

……

Seeing this, Qin Er hurriedly took the clay pot, and couldn't help but glanced at the contents curiously. He couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear in shock, and then saw his throat moving, obviously swallowing.

"Gems? Gold? My god..."

You must know that gemstones on the Daqin market are rarer than gold, and they are also rare items that can only be enjoyed by people with status.

Qin Ergui was the guard of Li Yu's Marquis Mansion, and he had seen many high-ranking officials and nobles, but he had never seen such a large and many gemstones.

But right now, how could Qin Er not be surprised that the natives randomly put them in several rotten pottery pots.

……

And these three things made Li Yu suddenly think of the rich products of Hainan Island, including minerals.

So under Li Yu's calm appearance, his heart was already ecstatic.

You need to know how much money you need to earn for these things, if you process them casually and sell them to the princes and nobles, the powerful and rich, especially the women in their families...

Li Yu calmed down, and then gestured: "Such things are useful to me. If you still have them, you can exchange the same amount for the weapons in my hand, or even clothes and armor."

When the indigenous leader saw this, he immediately smiled and showed his yellow teeth. Then he had an idea, babbling and gesticulating: "If you can help me rule this place, I can tell you the origin of these gems."

Li Yu couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, he never thought that the natives also knew how to kill with a knife.

And only Li Yu knows how expensive it is for the aborigines to kill with a borrowed knife...

Everyone was puzzled, so Li Yu gestured and said, "You can help me, but you have to surrender to me first."

The meaning of Li Yu's gesture came to the eyes of the leader of the aboriginal people, and the expression of the leader of the aborigines changed again and again.

After a while, the indigenous leader suddenly reached out and untied the necklace made of animal teeth hanging around his neck, and then gently sent it to Li Yu.
