The excitement in the bazaar continues. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, soon, Zhu Zilong found out. The locals came to exchange, and the items used began to be greatly increased to grain and wood.

This increase is huge, and even Zhu Zilong has to come to ask one or two to investigate why.

After all, food is the focus of survival, and it stands to reason that the more you exchange, the better, but the local storage conditions are limited, and it is impossible to collect grain all the time. On the other hand, the locals can't blindly let them exchange their food.

Otherwise, they will run out of food, and when they will starve to death, you, as a man of God, will win hearts and minds at the same time. It is necessary to donate part of the grain unconditionally before it can be said to be in the past.

Such an entry and exit is really in contrast to Zhu Zilong's plan.

So he began to ask everyone who came to exchange food for modern products what was the reason.

If gold and medicinal herbs cannot be eaten as food, why do they have to use grain?

In order to allow the Indian women to willingly hand over the gold bracelets on their wrists and the golden hairpins on their heads, Zhu Zilong had bartered with them for most of the colorful cloths, porcelain, cheap glass jewelry, and small mirrors from later generations.

As well as silk and other items from the Ming Dynasty's good luck side.

In order to allow the Indian warriors to voluntarily remove the gold and silver ornaments inlaid on their weapons, the iron tools of the Ming Dynasty and modern iron tools are also popular here.

In order to obtain the gold in the hands of the tribal magnates, Zhu Zilong had to provide them with mellow soju, novel condiments and so on.

For the sake of the "civilization upgrading" of their own tribes, further develop the productive forces.

In order to prevent modern germs from wreaking havoc in this isolated and primitive land, and to prepare for the brutal war that is about to begin. Zhu Zilong is on the modern side, purchasing a large number of aspirin, oral penicillin pills, anti-inflammatory powder, Yunnan Baiyao, etc., as well as the most critical smallpox vaccine and syringes.

Of course, all of these, as long as they can be exchanged for gold, silver, jewelry, medicinal herbs, etc., are hundreds of times more profitable.

As the famous line from Shakespeare's plays: "...... Gold, yellow, glowing, precious gold! With just a little bit of this thing, it can turn the black into white, the ugly into beautiful, the wrong into right, the humble into noble, the old man into a young man, and the coward into a warrior...... Make a difference in the world. ”

However, if it is only a humanitarian exchange of food, considering the storage, the fairness of pricing, and special reasons, it will not make much money.

Even if your tribe needs to use food, there is a limit to this thing.

Therefore, the importance of the investigation team is not clear.

It's just that after a few days of strong investigation, Zhu Zilong felt a little dumbfounded.

Seriously, the locals are by no means a miser like Grande in the face of the magic of modern products.

They were in the Americas in the late primitive society, even if they had more gold in their hands, what could they buy?

Zhu Zilong's goods can be said to be the only place where their gold can be used in large quantities.

In the past, no amount of gold they hoarded could only attract the looting and massacre of the Spaniards and whites from other countries. And here in Zhu Zilong, at least it is a happy situation.

It's impossible for anyone to be stingy with the gold in their own home! (Although Zhu Zilong's price is indeed a bit black-hearted!) ）

However, the truth after the investigation is that there is no gold in everyone's hands.

This truth may also affect the surroundings of Zhu Zilong's original seaside tribe.

I believe that the situation in almost all these tribes will be the same sooner or later, that is, everyone does not have much gold in their hands to trade with Zhu Zilong.

This answer almost made Zhu Zilong a little unbelievable on the spot.

"Is there any mistake...... Hey, isn't America in this age supposed to be full of gold and silver treasures? In those pirate legends, white men came here and robbed countless gold and silver. Later, the Mexican Eagle Ocean was widely circulated throughout the Chinese market...... How could it be that in a few months, I only traded a few hundred kilograms of gold and a few thousand kilograms of silver, as well as some precious stones, and a few medicinal herbs, and everyone was empty? ”

It's a pity that there is no one who can give Zhu Zilong an accurate answer.

So he could only go out in person and investigate again. After a few days, combined with some later information stored in the computer, Zhu Zilong felt that he had guessed the approximate result.

This result is a little helpless, but it is real.

The ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

The underground of the Americas is not without gold, but the conditions are not ripe.

It turns out that there are a lot of gold and silver minerals in this part of Mexico. The problem is that the Indians, who were in the Late Stone Age, were very backward in terms of technology and ability in mining technology.

At best, only a fraction of the veins can be mined in the open pit. In a deeper place, they didn't even have an iron tool before, and you expect them to be able to dig it?

After all, there were a few open-pit gold mines, and then the whites came and took away so much gold and silver because it became their colony.

Developed here for decades, with their white technology, digging deep for the ore. It was through the exhaustion of countless slaves, and of themselves, that they gained untold wealth.

But how long has Zhu Zilong been here?

It's only been a few months!

And did not bring a large number of excavator workers and excavators, only consumed the gold, silver and jewelry inventory in the hands of the locals, how long can it be traded?

That's why, at the beginning, Zhu Zilong was misled, thinking that the locals had a lot of gold in their hands.

The main thing is that even if these people are poor, almost all of them have some gold jewelry.

Now that I think about it, it's not surprising.

Because, they don't need three gold to get married, and their hard currency is obsidian and cocoa beans! Gold is just an ornament, and naturally even the poorest people will have a little.

Moreover, hanging on the body every day, the first reflection of modern people in the future, after seeing it, how can you not misunderstand these natives, each with a lot of gold at home?

This is the same as when we see the women of the Miao nationality in later generations, all of them are full of silver jewelry, giving people the imagination that they must not lack silver.

As a result, in fact, almost all the money in these people's homes is hung on their bodies, and apart from these, there is not much left at home.

Fortunately, Zhu Zilong had a map of the distribution of various minerals in Mexico and the Americas from the Internet in later generations.

Starting from today, if you vigorously develop the excavator industry, it will be too late to start now.

You can get ahead of the white Europeans and make a fortune.
