When the boat stopped, a small boat pulled two ama closer, and after opening the top of the cage, the ama jumped in and picked out ten mussels from the wooden cage, and then the four boats dragging the wooden cage retreated twenty feet away to ensure that the mussels could stay away from the sea and return to the stable water.

Ten mussels were sent to the seaside, and Bai Hui handed a dagger to King Qin: "Brother Wang, do it yourself, it's fun." ”

King Qin shook his head: "No, if you let the widow do it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for these mussels to go into the water again." ”

Ying Jiang stepped forward: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for these ten mussels to go into the water again, once the mussels are opened, it is difficult to store them in the sea, because taking pearls is different from plant nucleus." ”

King Qin snatched the dagger from Bai Hui's hand, pointed at Bai Hui and said, "You are really hiding it, such a magic skill has not even let the widow know." ”

Bai Hui was very calm: "Who knows if there is or not?" ”

There must be.

This is very certain in the hearts of Ying Ying, Hei Chop, Meng Qi, and Ying Jiang, because one or two mussels will be taken out of the water every day for research and data recording.

Don't underestimate the people of the Warring States, they also know how to record data and do a lot of research.

According to Yingying's records, one pearl can grow by one penny a year, that is, a diameter of about 0.3 centimeters.

Over there, King Qin had already opened a mussel, and there were more than a dozen pearls in this mussel.

The largest one, about half a centimeter in diameter, is two dollars thick. The smallest, only a penny thick, 0.3 centimeters.

King Qin held the largest one and put it in the sun to watch.

"Beautiful, really beautiful."

Bai Hui's reaction was not big, because in later generations, cultured pearls became an industry, and this place was called Hepu, and this bay was the most suitable pearl farming bay.

It's not pearls, it's gold.

In the world, the value of pearls is much higher than that of gold of the same weight, and the pearls that King Qin just dug up for not enough time are already worth enough, and they must be higher than those of the same weight of gold.

King Qin turned his head and asked Bai Hui, "Although these are wealth, they are not important. ”

Isn't it important?

The three people in charge of this place were unconvinced in their hearts, which was equivalent to the golden pool of the Qin State.

Bai Hui admired in his heart, if there was another king, such as the King of Wei, the King of Han, and the King of Chu, his eyes would probably be red when he saw this wealth.

But King Qin was still very calm.

Bai Hui said: "Brother Wang, we will meet one person, or several people here. ”

"Oh, who?"

"I can't tell if it's called a Dong person or a servant, these are not important, the important thing is that the other party has a population of more than 100,000 and tens of thousands of combat power. They control a place where I want. ”

"Interesting." King Qin glanced at the nine mussels that had not been cut, and only ordered: "Pick two at random, ensure that you are alive, and reward the two concubines of Dahejun who temporarily live in Yashan, and think about how to explain this mussel, and don't talk nonsense about the rest." ”

"No!"

If the king of Qin said that he didn't care at all about this priceless bay, it was fake.

But at this time, King Qin was completely blind to money and wealth compared to dominating the world.

Dominating the world and representing the herdsmen is the pursuit of King Qin.

King Qin and Bai Hui did not come here for the Pearl Pond, but it was the most suitable place to meet some guests.

King Qin and Bai Hui only stayed for two days, and Qin Hu came back with five people. It should be said that there were five chiefs, and then more than a hundred guards.

For the guests who came, what King Qin was, they would probably be able to understand.

I also know from Jiupu what King Qin represents.

The meeting was not on the shore, but on the sea, and in addition to the people who operated the boat, King Qin and Bai Hui only brought ten escorts, and the other party only brought two retinues, because these two retinues could speak Chu and they had lived in Qianzhong.

Two days after going to sea, Bai Hui ordered a huge map to be hung.

"Let's not talk about whether we were a family thousands of years ago, just now. We also hired some locals in the process of repairing the canal, and we didn't meet each other, but on the whole, it was friendly. ”

"It's friendly, but you don't want to exchange steel knives."

Bai Hui rubbed his forehead: "The steel knife is a very important object, will you give the knife in your hand to a stranger?" ”

"I, Nong Donglu, said, you have convinced me, and your words are reasonable. My knife will not be in the hands of strangers. ”

Bai Hui smiled: "That's it." Let's open the map. I Daqin repaired the Ling Canal, the Ling Canal is to connect the two rivers of Hunan and Li, and now it is only twenty miles away, and it can be completely opened, and the difference is Xiangcheng. ”

"It's called Guicheng."

"It's called Jade City!"

The five leaders had already quarreled as soon as Bai Hui finished speaking.

King Qin's face was confused, isn't it just a name, why bother even pulling out the knife.

Bai Hui knocked lightly on the table: "This kind of thing like a name, let's discuss it later, okay." ”

"It's not good, if you don't decide on the name this time, the rest of the things don't matter."

It is also reasonable to call it Jade City, which does not produce jade, but produces a spice called cinnamon, so one of the clans calls it Jade City.

It's called Elephant City, and that's right, there are elephants here, and the elephant trainer is another noble person of the tribe.

And there is also an elephant trunk mountain in the local area, so it is called Elephant City.

Guicheng has something to do with cinnamon, as for whether this cinnamon and cinnamon are the same thing, Bai Hui hasn't figured it out yet, after all, he has seen the real thing.

At this time, King Qin stood up: "It's called Lin Guiyi." The widow has heard that your cinnamon and cinnamon are the same spice, since the name of the two families is cinnamon, and the other is called elephant, then take the majority as respect, and call it cinnamon, what do you think? ”

"Why should I listen to you?" One of the leaders pointed to King Qin and asked.

Bai Hui said slowly: "After the spiritual canal is repaired, a city will be built there, and this city will reach the sea area in the south and the Central Plains in the north. If you don't know what trade is, countless cloths and steel knives will be transported here from the Central Plains, and then the local spices and salt from the sea will be transported north, and this place will become an important town. ”

The local tribes are still in the stage of bartering, but they also understand that trading can increase the supply of goods, and can supplement the goods that their side does not have, or lacks.

In the big material trading place, it is indeed very prosperous.

After finishing speaking, Bai Hui added: "Our rule is that those with more people support it, and those with fewer people must listen." ”

"I have 80,000 people in Nong Donglu, and I support Lin Guiyi!"

Bai Hui's face twitched: "I have a population of tens of millions in Qin State, this matter can't be counted like this, just seven of us, choose a name, and those who have few people will listen to many people." ”

Nong Donglu reacted, and immediately stood beside King Qin: "We now have two people who are willing to let this place be called Lin Guiyi." ”

After finishing speaking, Nong Donglu pointed at himself, and then pointed at King Qin.

His tribe, cinnamon alone, had already obtained 100,000 horses of linen and 50,000 jars of wine in the process of excavating the Ling Canal.
