Stony Brook and the masked leader stood opposite each other, both looking at each other.

"Stranger, you are strong, I hope we will not be enemies."

The Mask Leader said coldly.

"Then let's talk!"

Stony Brook smiled.

Although neither of them understood what the two sides were saying, it did not hinder the ensuing negotiations.

The leader of the mask introduced the Qi people into the tribe, and a clearing had been cleared in the center of the tribe, and patches of hay were laid out on the ground, which was obviously the hospitality of the natives.

The mask man made a gesture to sit down, and Shi Xi was not polite, sitting cross-legged on the straw mat generously.

The soldiers behind him lined up on both sides, watching vigilantly around.

The sailors were highly nervous, and as long as the natives moved, they could draw their swords and fight back at the first time.

After the two sides were seated, the masked leader gestured to the people around him.

Soon after a few people left, the Qi people saw more than a dozen natives, carrying a pile of furs.

The sheer amount of fur made Stony Brook a little shocked.

It is conceivable that in the years of existence of this tribe, I don't know how much wealth has been accumulated.

Each of these skins has been tanned and preserved in good condition.

In this era, fur is a rigid thing, especially for tribes that do not have the ability to weave, the importance of fur is undoubted.

Even in the Qi Kingdom, some special leather items are also a strategic resource in urgent need.

In particular, things such as rhinoceros skin or horn are important raw materials for making weapons.

Looking at the fur piled up like a hill, everyone's eyes were hot.

It's all money, and you can make a lot of money if you get it back to Qi State.

And in those furs, you can vaguely see some very beautiful coats, and I think those things are definitely worth a lot.

Stony Brook had already begun to think about how to get these things into his hands with the least cost.

"Stranger, these furs are the goods of trade, and what useful things can you come up with in exchange?"

Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, it didn't affect the transaction, as long as Stony Brook knew what he was here for.

Saying that, Stony Brook said to his own guard, "Give him a bag of salt." ”

"Yes!"

The guard took out a small bag of salt wrapped in a small cloth bag from his bosom and walked over and placed it in front of the masked man.

The natives beside the masked man suddenly looked a little unkind.

They took out so many things themselves, and the other party only gave them this strange thing, even if the bag looked very unusual, but they also thought it was an insult to themselves.

The natives were about to have a seizure, but the masked man stopped the clansmen and looked coldly at Shixi.

"Idiot!"

Stony Brook scolded with a smile.

"Go tell these stupid savages what it is!"

The guard despised the natives, so he reluctantly walked up to the masked man, opened the bag and leaked out the yellow-white salt inside, dipped it with his fingers, and licked it with his tongue.

Seeing this, the natives also learned the behavior of the guards and carefully tasted the salt.

The salty taste on the tip of the tongue suddenly made the eyes of the natives light up, and they knew what it was.

They had never tasted such pure saltiness, and compared to the smelly soil of the saline soil, it was a pleasure to taste it.

The natives grunted and discussed, their eyes showing longing.

Seeing this, the corners of Shi Xi's mouth curled, and the expression of the natives had betrayed their inner thoughts, which meant that he should be able to slaughter them fiercely.

The camp has now begun experimenting with salt, and it won't be long before there will be no shortage of salt at the camp.

can use a small amount of salt in exchange for a lot of wealth, this deal is a good deal.

The masked man was holding a cloth bag of salt and muttering something to Stony Brook.

In order to make the other party understand what he meant, the mask pointed to the cloth bag and took out a piece of fur, placing the two together.

This means, of course, a bag of salt for a piece of fur.

This kind of exchange is naturally not acceptable to Stony Brook.

He got up and picked up nearly seven or eight pieces of fur the size of a man from the pile of furs and threw them on the ground.

The masked man was silent for a moment, then shook, still insisting on exchanging one for one.

Stony Brook sneered, picked up the bag of salt, and turned to leave.

I don't know what your masked man shouted, and the surrounding natives immediately surrounded him.

Seeing this, Qi Ren was naturally not to be outdone, and after a burst of the impact of the nail leaves, he protected the cold and shining anal canal in front of him.

At this time, Stony Creek had already been protected by a dozen sailors.

The two sides have a great posture of starting a fight in the next second.

In the end, it was the masked man who gave up the attack first.

He muttered something and took out four of Stony Brook's furs that were still on the ground.

Seeing this, Shi Xi snorted coldly and spread out a hand.

The masked man hesitated for a moment, then held out four fingers.

Stony Brook remained unmoved, insisting on one bag of salt for five furs.

The desire for salt eventually made the masked man soften and accept this condition.

For the indigenous tribes, furs are available everywhere, but this salt is only available in the hands of these strangers, and it would be a great pity to miss it.

For a moment, the masked man had the idea of robbing, but in the face of the cold and shining steel knife, his confidence was a little insufficient.

Previously, Qi Ren's steel knife he had seen the power of this weapon under the demonstration of Jiang Liu and others.

If he wasn't absolutely sure, he didn't want to fight these strangers, which wouldn't do the tribe any good.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Shi Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was already happy.

He knew that he had made a fortune, and that bag of salt was placed in the Qi country, not to mention a good fur, and he couldn't even exchange it for a full meal.

And a good fur, after being sold, is enough for an adult to live comfortably in Chang'an City for half a month.

With such a comparison, it is conceivable how huge the profits will be.

The pelts were all exchanged, and they could even be sold for half of the boat they were on.

Even if the cost of navigation and transportation is removed, the benefits are enormous.

He should have begun to think about how to use this to convince the ministers of the court after answering Daqi, so that they could understand that even if the court found what they wanted, it should normalize the cause of navigation for the sake of the huge interests of the New World.

He felt that there was a great possibility that this matter would succeed, and he couldn't wait to publicize the huge business opportunities he had discovered to the entire Qi country.

The transaction was completed smoothly, and the two parties agreed on a time to hand over salt and skin with one hand.

And then, with the idea of giving it a try, Stony Brook took out the target atlas he was carrying.

Under this attempt, there was an unexpected gain.
