"They said they wanted some fabric, and I changed so much spice with just one foot of linen!"

Cheng Chumo said with a happy face.

"Quick, quick, find the fabric, hurry up and get the fabric to change with them!"

Hearing this, Wu Changxu's excited eyes almost popped out.

These spices are treasures in Datang, and a foot of linen is just a matter of a few pennies in Datang!

"Since the natives have spices in their hands, it proves that there are spices on this island!"

Cheng Chumo continued.

"Well, that's right, since the natives are so backward, there must be no big ships that can sail far, so the spices in their hands should be picked on this island!"

Just now he was only immersed in the joy of finding the spice, and he didn't react at all.

After his call, Wu Changxu suddenly understood, and continued: "As long as we find out the origin of the spice from the mouths of the natives, we will be considered to have completed the task!" ”

"Hmm!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Since these people were so in awe of our ship just now, why don't you use the ship to scare them!"

Wu Changxu suddenly thought of an idea.

"How scared?"

Cheng Chumo didn't quite understand, tilted his head and asked.

"When the water in the steam engine boils, it makes a whining sound and is accompanied by billowing smoke, so it is better to scare them with this, and they will surely be used by us!"

When the people saw the train for the first time in Datang, they thought it was a monster, and it is estimated that these natives are no exception.

"Well, yes, the natives are stupid, after this scare, give them a little benefit, they will definitely be obedient!"

The eldest grandson rolled his eyes and immediately understood.

"It's really worthy of being the son of an old yin, and his brain is fast!"

Everyone complained in their hearts.

"That's it!"

With a wave of Wu Changxu's big hand, the soldiers began to fill the boiler with coal.

"I'll go find some pots and pans and other ironware, and some cloth!"

Cheng Chumo also led people to get busy.

This plan must be carried out with grace and might, otherwise it will be difficult for all the natives to go into hiding.

"These fabrics are all of the finest, wouldn't it be a waste to give them?"

"Yes, these natives have never seen much of the world, why don't you give them our old clothes?"

"Okay, that's it!"

After discussing it, everyone put the fabric back on the ship, took a few tattered clothes and got off the boat.

At this moment, the water in the boiler of the Zhenguan also boiled, and the whistle sounded.

This shocked the natives, who had just stood up, and quickly knelt down, muttering something in their mouths!

And Cheng Chumo walked to their side again, dancing and gesturing something, and he didn't know if those people understood it or not.

In the end, he threw all the old clothes of the soldiers to the natives, but they were obviously afraid of the steamer and did not dare to pick them up.

It wasn't until Cheng Chumo compared with them and said that it was given to them by Zhenguan that they excitedly went to grab the clothes on the ground!

But the Tang people were much taller than them, and these clothes were worn on them as if they were sacks.

Cheng Chumo pointed to the iron tools in the hands of the soldiers behind him, pointed to the spices, and made a picking action, hoping that these natives could take them to pick spices.

"I'm afraid they still don't understand!"

Looking at the expression of the native Mune, the soldiers behind him were a little suspicious of the comprehension ability of these native people,

But to his surprise, these natives actually nodded, and with excitement on their faces, they obviously understood what Cheng Chumo was trying to express!

"Great, give them some of the iron!"

Cheng Chumo, who had spent a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't work in vain!

The soldiers behind him handed each of the natives an iron basin and iron fist, and this little gadget already made them very happy, and some of the younger ones even jumped up.

"Come back tomorrow and take us to pick spices, there's something better!"

After dealing with the natives for a long time, Cheng Chumo also found a little way.

The natives who got the iron tools also nodded again and again, fiddling with them lovingly.

"How did you get them gone?"

After Cheng Chumo came back, the eldest grandson hurried over.

"Don't worry, I've made an appointment with them to take us to pick spices tomorrow!"

"Well, it's getting late today, and we don't know how far away the spice is from here, and we're not familiar with this place, so it's better to wait until tomorrow to get on the road!"

Wu Changxu nodded approvingly.

"What if they're gone and never come back?"

The eldest grandson is still a little worried.

"You can rest assured, they have got clothes and iron tools, and they will definitely come back tomorrow!"

In this regard, Cheng Chumo is very relieved.

"Even if they don't take us there, we can find it ourselves tomorrow!"

Cheng Chuliang fiddled with those gems and said lightly.

"We don't have much fresh water, and I don't know if there is a river on this island?"

Wu Changxu looked at the kettle that was about to bottom, frowned and asked.

"We found a lot of rivers when we were exploring the path, and there were enough rivers for us to use!"

"Great, everyone hurry up and take a break and look for water and spices tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Wu Changxu was finally relieved.

Early the next morning, the soldiers had just begun to bury the pot and cook, and the natives had already come.

Not only yesterday's ones, but they also brought a large number of natives, probably because they saw that they had rare things such as iron tools and clothes, and they were very envious, so they came with them!

"Admiral, those natives from yesterday are here!"

The soldier in charge of the sentry surrendered his hand.

"Haha, it's so early......!"

Wu Changxu was very happy and began to assign tasks, "The matter of negotiating with the natives to find spices will be handed over to Chu Mocheng and Chu Liang, Bao Qi will lead people to find water sources, and the others will stay behind!" ”

"Yes!"

All the soldiers cheered with joy.

After Cheng Chumo took the people and iron tools, he walked in front of the natives, and danced and made a gesture, yesterday's natives were the first to understand, nodded happily, and then said to the natives around him, and took the lead in leading the way for Cheng Chumo.

"It's really hard to it!"

Cheng Chumo wiped the hot sweat on his forehead and scolded.

Anyway, these natives can't understand it!

After walking for a long time, the footsteps of the native finally stopped at the top of a hill, and happily pointed downward, gesturing towards him.

"My dear mother! It's spices, mountains of spices! ”

After Cheng Chumo reached the top of the mountain out of breath, his eyes almost didn't fly out, and after exclaiming, he ran towards the spices.

After seeing the spices, the soldiers behind him seemed to see the silver with white flowers, and they also ran along!

"Fool, what are you doing with those worthless things on your back? Throw away all the brass and iron on your body! ”

Cheng Chuliang kicked one of the soldiers in the ass.

If you have that physical strength, you might as well carry more spices back!

After hearing his words, the soldiers reacted, hurriedly threw away all the things on their bodies, and ran towards the spices in a hurry.

And those iron basins and iron bowls on the ground caused the people to rob, and the expression was completely different from Cheng Chumo's!

After snatching the iron tools on the ground, the natives still muttered, and pointed at Cheng Chuliang and others to laugh, as if they were looking at fools!

"Oh my God, there are so many spices here, it seems like we'll never be able to finish it!"

When he arrived at the spice forest, Cheng Chumo looked up and sighed excitedly.

However, the navy found spices in the South Seas, and Datang did not receive any news at all.

It's not that Wu Changxu doesn't want to say it, but the communication method doesn't allow it!

If it was on land, he could send a flying pigeon to pass the book, or eight hundred miles to expedite, but on this ethereal sea, he had no way at all.
