Chapter 1038 The Legendary Treasure of the Gentleman's Country (Medium)

Zhao Xing smiled very coldly: "You haven't heard of 'Nanzhu', that's because such a pearl is the source of disaster for ruining the family and destroying the country, no matter who has such a gold treasure, they don't want others to know." And once the news is leaked, it is a bloody case, which is the origin of evil.

You know? I have heard people talk about 'Nanzhu', but this thing is too dangerous, if I take it alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to China, and I will be abandoned at sea." Now I told you, do you dare to take it?

If a person has this wealth, it is a curse. If this wealth is shared among all people, and each person takes a share, isn't that 'pouring wealth'?

No, this is not enough, what I am pointing out to you is a thousand-year wealth, as long as you are willing to work together, this wealth is enough for you to sit and enjoy for a thousand years...... Go back and appease your crew, and tell them what I said. Discuss how you will distribute your wealth. ”

After saying this, Zhao Xing spread out the navigation chart again and did not look at Liu San again. He used his body language to indicate his willingness to end the conversation, but Liu San was like a curious baby with too many questions.

He pointed to the nautical chart, and first asked tentatively: "Great official, when will this kind of map be drawn?" …… Will you give it to me when you're done? ”

After a pause, he immediately asked again: "How do the big officials draw on sheepskins......

Zhao Xing cut off the other party's words: "This is the method given to me by Pu Daguan - the sea is salty, the nautical chart is drawn on paper, and after the storm, the drawing is a ball of sauce, and only parchment can preserve the nautical chart...... Well, tomorrow at noon we will sail to Mayi Island, and when we return home, this drawing will be handed over to you. Now, go comfort your crew. ”

Liu San was right, when Zhao Xing's Song boat sailed into Mayi Island, the sea was full of swarming canoes, and the owner of the canoe took his wife and children to Zhao Xing's boat and waited for credit.

While translating for Zhao Xing, the "tongue man" introduced Zhao Xing to the local customs: "You can leave their wives and children. It was a local custom that if the ship sank and could not pay the value of the goods to the Song people, their wives and children would be taken away by the Song people as slaves.

Don't worry, you won't lose money, the locals won't let you take their wives and children, and if the canoe doesn't return for some reason, the locals will pool money to ransom their wives and children. ”

When the tongue man was translating, Wang Yuanyu stood beside him. But his presence did not have the slightest effect, because he did not know the local language at all. Maybe his appearance just made the tongue man have scruples and dare not cheat.

Regarding the translation's words, Wang Yuanyu did not interject a word. Although Zhao Xing had no expression on his face, he was turning over the river and the sea in his heart.

Is this Mayi Island the legendary "Gentleman's Country"? …… In fact, if you want to be a gentleman, you can't slap a slap, and if no Song people dare to give credit, they can't be a gentleman.

However, in this world, the "gentleman" is the most difficult animal to survive.

The king of Ma Yi in a grass skirt was introduced to Zhao Xing by the "tongue man", Zhao Xing looked at this tattooed "quasi-Kunlun slave" with pity, his eyes crossed the king of Ma Yi, looked at the shore behind him, and looked at the thatched house and the naked Ma Yi women on the shore.

Liu San was a little nervous, and he looked at the wooden stick in the king's hand with disdain, which was a slightly pointed wooden stick. The Mayi people grilled one end of the stick over fire, and then rounded the tip of the carbonized stick to make a weapon.

Liu Sanhai is used to wandering on the sea, and he is quite a bit lawless. Seeing these few straw ropes, a "country of a thousand households" that can destroy the country and extinct the species, thinking of the "pouring wealth and wealth" promised by Zhao Xing, my heart can't help but be full of killing hope - Zhao Xing brought two ships, there are more than forty people on board, and the weapons that the crew has are not only straw ropes. This kind of armed force is enough to wipe out the country of Ma Yi three and a half times.

But is this necessary?

King Ma Yiguo's eyes were staring at the cane knife in Zhao Xing's hand, this is a Japanese Tang knife, although it is not unsheathed, but from the smooth shape of the cane knife and the exquisite workmanship of the scabbard, you can appreciate the extraordinary value of the knife.

The Ma Yi people traded with the Song boats, mainly to buy the iron tools of the Song people, they themselves did not have smelting, occasionally some bronze tools, and the weapons were all sold to it by the Song people, and the recorded transaction price was: a "slightly better" Song knife can be exchanged for four pearls, each pearl brought back to Quanzhou, at least can be sold for about 100 guan.

This kind of "slightly better-quality" Song knife is sold for 500 wen in Quanzhou.

The knife in Zhao Xing's hand is enough to buy a thousand ordinary Song knives like this.

King Ma Yi was looking at Zhao Xing's knife, and Zhao Xing was looking at the wooden stick in the other party's hand. The wooden stick was smooth by the king's touch, its whole body was red, the whole branch was straight and hard, and the shining trunk was as warm as jade, so that Zhao Xing couldn't take his eyes off it.

This is the "dragon's blood tree" in the Song Dynasty - traditional Chinese medicine believes that the dragon's blood is born when the dragon and the elephant are fighting, and the blood is spilled on the earth, so the blood-colored liquid flowing out of the dragon's blood tree is dragon's blood, which is used to replenish blood.

This wood is a good material for high-end furniture, and it is the best choice for making high-quality bows. Although the Song people traded the "dragon's blood tree" with the Mayi people, they all regarded it as a precious medicinal material to replenish blood. But it's not really a dragon's blood tree, it's a type of rosewood, and it's the same as a real African dragon's blood tree, peeling off the bark and the branches will flow out sap as ruddy as blood. And this kind of sap is the best raw material for making paint, and the wood painted by "dragon's blood paint" shows a luxurious crimson color, which does not attract insects and ants and does not change color for thousands of years.

In ancient times, the resin of the dracaena tree was also used as a raw material for the preservation of corpses, because this resin was a good antiseptic.

The "tongue man" is translating the king's words: "Great official, the king is asking you, how many pearls do you need to exchange for the knife in your hand?" ”
