Gully people

This is another time and place, the European name for the indigenous people of the Australian continent.

But in this time and space, because the Song Empire was almost a hundred years before the Europeans discovered Australia, the name was destined to change.

Australian soil!

This is a new name given by Wu Zhenyu to the Australian aborigines, although this name is not good, but it is easy to understand and very easy to understand.

In this way, the name of Australian soil spread within the empire.

Even a dozen years later, when the aborigines of Australia, like the Indians, were integrated into the empire and became citizens, their identity cards would also indicate the word 'Australia'.

The current Australian aborigines don't know that they have been given such a rustic name, and it will be with them for hundreds of years.

Moreover, in this era, the first Australian aborigines who came into contact with the Song Empire were only the tribe of Maogista.

If you want to talk about integration into the empire, it is far from it.

After all, the empire is now focused on the American continent, as well as the East.

On the Australian side, the empire has not had time to take care of it, and it has not had much experience to take care of it.

Therefore, what Wu Zhenyu can do is to try to have a good relationship with the local aborigines, and there should be no conflicts.

After all, if there is any conflict, it is not that the empire cannot solve it.

But this will cause the empire to divide some energy and resources, which is a very troublesome thing.

Wu Zhenyu himself means that he doesn't want to cause any trouble for the empire.

At the very least, when the empire can have the energy to develop Australia, it is good not to get into trouble.

Wu Zhenyu arrived on the coast of Sydney, Australia half a year ago, and his fortress was also named Sydney Fortress.

It was only two months ago that they had come into contact with the local Maogista tribe and started small-scale trade.

At this time. It's November, but the weather in Australia is still as hot as summer. There is no bleak and cold like in late autumn at all, and Wu Zhenyu is still wearing a sea soul shirt-style vest.

At this time, the American continent is different, and in another time and space, the military cotton pants and military coats of the sixties and seventies in China have been worn by people.

The city of Manhattan has been covered in fallen leaves, and it is completely beautiful in the late autumn season.

"My lord, the people of the Maogista tribe have come to exchange food again."

Wu Zhenyu, the commander of the Sydney Fortress, who looks like a star in Hong Kong and Taiwan, had just finished washing his face and brushing his teeth in the early morning of this day when he encountered a report from his subordinates.

"These guys have tasted the sweetness. It seems that they have never eaten such delicious food. ”

Although he complained, Wu Zhenyu put down the towel in his hand and followed the subordinate out of the room.

After he came outside, he saw the natives not far away.

On the wooden sticks carried by these guys, there are a few animals that seem to be very familiar, and the cute appearance of those animals makes people really laugh.

It may be that they are not very comfortable with each other, so they always struggle slowly, but unfortunately because the natives are tied very tightly, their struggles are not of any use.

I'll it, this isn't a koala.

Although Wu Zhenyu is separated by a long distance. But I could see clearly what kind of animal it was.

Why, do these natives want to exchange these koalas for food?

It's impossible.

Koalas are cute, but they don't have much value.

It's worthless.

It's like a giant panda in China, although it's a national treasure. But...... It's not very reliable to use for trading.

At the very least, you have to exchange it for gold.

Wu Zhenyu really didn't know what to say to these natives.

However, there is really nothing he can do about this matter, after all, he doesn't look like Zhao Hongyu. With a language plug-in, you can communicate with anyone in the world.

He Wu Zhenyu has only been in Australia for half a year, and it is impossible for him to communicate with the natives of the Australian continent without obstacles in such a short period of time.

But. Even if he can't communicate, he's going to try.

You must know that to do this kind of worthless trade, unless he becomes a brain-dead.

Immediately, he walked over with his men.

The native who came to the fortress to trade this time was an elder of the Maogista tribe.

When this elder saw Wu Zhenyu, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

After two months of contact, the high-level members of the Maogista tribe also have a general understanding of Wu Zhenyu's identity.

The natives are backward, but that doesn't mean they're brainless fools.

So, of course, they knew that Wu Zhenyu might be the leader of these outsiders.

For the chief, of course, it is necessary to show respect.

Wu Zhenyu walked up to the elder and nodded at him.

Then he came up to the koala, raised his hand and pointed at the koala that was struggling slowly on the ground, and shook his head.

Although the language is not comprehensible, human beings can still judge some meanings more or less through physical communication.

That elder saw Wu Zhenyu's movements, how could he not understand.

Obviously, the leader of the outsiders, that meant that such fat animals could not be traded.

In fact, these people of the Maogista tribe bring some things to trade with these outsiders every day, and in the process, they are constantly testing what the other party can trade.

Therefore, when the elder saw that the koalas could not make a trade, although the expression on his face was very disappointed, he also remembered it.

Well, the koala can't make a deal, and it looks like they're going to go back and report to the patriarch.

As for the things that could not be used for trading, the elder obviously didn't care.

Wu Zhenyu reached into his arms and took out a small pocket.

When he opened the small opening of his pocket, he poured out some small golden particles.

Yes, these little particles are gold particles.

It's a small part of the two-month process of trading with these natives.

He placed his palm in front of the elder and kept pointing at the gold nuggets. Then he nodded repeatedly.

That means it's something that can be traded.

After a while, the elder understood what Wu Zhenyu meant.

Actually, there are no fools at all.

As long as you can be patient, you can still communicate.

You must know that in the modern world of another time and space, there are people who don't know the face of foreign languages to travel around the world.

Therefore, if the language is different, it is not necessarily impossible to communicate, but it is a lot of trouble.

The elder, who understood what Wu Zhenyu meant, turned around and shouted at the tribal warriors he had brought.

Subsequently. A guy who just covered his lower body with an unknown plant walked quickly behind the elder, and then took out a small bag woven of plants and vines from behind him and handed it over.

The elder took the small bag woven by the vines and reached in and pulled it out.

Gold!

When the elder's hand was taken out, Wu Zhenyu's eyes were immediately attracted.

In the elder's hand there were a few small gold grains, and they looked pure.

It's not refined, but it looks pretty good.

Visual inspection alone is quite a lot.

Wu Zhenyu nodded at the elder, indicating that this thing could be traded. The elder grinned.

The rest of the matter is simple, just see what the elder wants to change.

Unlike the Indians, the Australian natives have no interest in weapons or anything.

They were for the non-staple foods that Wu Zhenyu took out. And those seasonings that care so much.

Almost every transaction, they get a lot back.

Of course, these natives are not uninterested in iron products.

Like some iron pots or something, they'll need it too.

It's just that. Compared to food and seasonings, this transaction volume is not very large.

As usual, Wu Zhenyu asked his subordinates to take out samples that he could trade with the other party. Let the other person pick.

After some selection, the elder picked up the thirteen incense and the iron pot sample, saying that he needed to trade such a commodity this time.

Wu Zhenyu was not surprised by this at all, after all, in the past two months, they only needed these goods.

There were more than thirty grains of gold that the elder took out, which was not a lot, and after Wu Zhenyu asked his subordinates to weigh them, he knew that the more than thirty grains of gold weighed about one hundred and fifty grams.

That's not very light.

If this is sold to the virtual world, it will be thirty or forty thousand yuan according to the current current price.

After all, the price of gold in the virtual world has fallen a bit recently.

But even if it falls, this can be done.

You must know that the other party took out more than 150 grams of gold, and what Wu Zhenyu traded to the other party was only two small iron pots, and then three small bags of thirteen incense.

The iron pot is very inferior, and in the modern era of another era, it is only more than 30 yuan a piece, and there are many roadside stalls that can be bought casually.

And a small bag of thirteen incense is only seven or eight yuan, and it is even cheaper.

Combined, these goods are not even 100 yuan.

But Wu Zhenyu got 30,000 or 40,000 yuan of gold from the hands of the natives.

Such a deal, to say that it is not profitable is a lie.

If it were in modern times, Wu Zhenyu's approach would definitely be envied, jealous and hated by countless people, and then smeared in various ways.

However, it was in the seventeenth century, and it was perfectly legal to do so.

Moreover, Wu Zhenyu doesn't think he is so dark, at least he is better than the Europeans.

You must know that in the history of another time and space, the Dutch only used a few glass balls to trick the Indians into the Manhattan area.

This is called a black heart.

What's the use of that tattered glass ball, it's not as useful as the pot and thirteen incense that I traded with the Australian natives.

This time, the transaction was completed in a pleasant atmosphere.

Whether it was Wu Zhenyu or the indigenous elder, they all thought that the other party was a big fool.

It is yourself who takes advantage.

After all, the two sides look at things from different angles, and their value judgments about some things are also different.

So, it's really hard to say who is stupid and who is smart.

But now, they both think that fools are each other.

Gold is valuable to the Empire, but the pots and thirteen incense are of little value.

Therefore, Wu Zhenyu thinks that such a deal is profitable.

Conversely, Australia's indigenous elders don't think so.

He felt that the gold he used to trade was just some broken stones, which could not be eaten or drunk, and it was of no use at all.

As long as the people in the tribe can be diligent, then they can still pick up a lot in the nearby forest.

And these broken stones can be exchanged for those sturdy iron pots that are not afraid of fire, and spices that can make food delicious, which is simply a very profitable thing.

Come to think of it, these guys must have bad brains, otherwise how could they do such a loss-making thing?

However, he won't tell the other party about this.

Since the other party is so stupid, let them be stupid.

Only if they continue to be so stupid, can the tribe continue to take advantage.

I wouldn't be so stupid to remind them of this.

If the other party becomes smarter, he won't be able to take advantage of it in the future.

Ha Luha, now I have a pot and spices.

When he returned to the tribe, he asked his family to pick up more of these useless stones and trade with them again.

In the hands of these fools, there are still a lot of goods.

Those things that taste sweet, and foods that are fragrant when boiled in water, as well as small bags of things called pickled vegetables, and even white flowers.

Hehe, I can't think of these things, you can exchange them for those stones.

It seems that the gods must have sent these fools to take advantage of the tribe.

If you and your fellow tribesmen don't seize this opportunity, you'll be the biggest fool.

Fortunately, it was impossible for Wu Zhenyu to know what Lu Dao was thinking in the heart of the old man who was smiling at him, otherwise he would definitely have his nose crooked in anger.

The elder happily left the fortress with his subordinates satisfied, and along the way, he kept telling his subordinates that Wu Zhenyu was a fool, and there was constant laughter on the way.

And when the elders left, Wu Zhenyu also laughed with his subordinates.

"It seems that in this era, doing trade is so simple and profitable, and it is too easy to make money."

With that, he put the gold in his small pocket and put it in his bosom.

He had to wait until the transport ship brought the next batch of materials to the captain of the transport ship to take to the gold mountain and hand it over to Wang Shan.

After all, he didn't have authority, so the gold would only be of the greatest use if it was handed over to Wang Shan.

"My lord, this era belongs to us, as long as Your Highness works hard and the development of the empire remains stable, then there will be no Europeans in the future."

"Ha Luha, you will say yes, and what you think will definitely succeed."

Wu Zhenyu laughed.

After the natives left the Sydney Fortress, it was also filled with laughter. (To be continued......)
