The camp of the Cook tribe is still three or four kilometers away from the coast where Zhao Hongyu and they landed, and is located in the northeast of the coast.

The whole camp is located in a unique depression in the forest, and if it is not brought into the camp by familiar people, the average person who is not familiar with the environment will not be able to find the camp in the dense forest and thick grass.

It can be said that the camp of the Cook people is very secretive.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu and they have an eagle to lead the team, otherwise Zhao Hongyu doesn't know if he can find this Indian tribe in the forest.

It has to be said that although the Indians are a little backward in their primitiveness, as long as they are Indians living around the forest, they are all good at jungle warfare.

If it is an Indian on the prairie, they will have a big heart.

In fact, it is no wonder that they have been exposed to this environment since childhood, and what they have practiced for decades must be much stronger than that of modern people in later generations.

If modern people are put in this environment, it is estimated that they will not be much worse than Indians.

As soon as he entered the forest, Zhao Hongyu could see all kinds of pheasants with colorful tails, as well as fat cute hares, and wild boars that were 'humming', because Zhao Hongyu and they were numerous, and some fierce beasts had already been taken away from afar, and they did not disturb the progress of the team.

On the branches of the towering tree, a small squirrel holding a pine nut squatted on the branch and watched curiously as the humans below passed.

The chirping of birds also echoes in the forest.

Tuk tuk!

It's the sound of a woodpecker nailing a tree trunk with its sharp beak.

Whoa!

Zhao Hongyu looked over, but only saw a fat big ass.

It's a frightened American gazelle fleeing in a panic.

Along the way, Zhao Hongyu was also full of emotion, and he was heartbroken for the magic of nature.

This is like the feeling that Zhao Hongyu had after bringing the eagle to the shore camp, and the eagle came into contact with Zhao Hongyu's camp.

However, the eagle felt that the boy who was following him was making a fuss.

Isn't it just some animals and forests, what's so surprising about that?

He was puzzled by this.

I have been in contact with the forest since I was a child, and I dare not be surprised at all. On the contrary, it is still a little crooked.

If it weren't for the fact that life and survival and filling their stomachs were there, in fact, the eagle would not have lived here.

The idea of such an eagle is not surprising at all.

This is like the feeling of people who have lived in the countryside for decades in later generations and come to the countryside with a city.

Xiongying is a rural guy, and Zhao Hongyu is the city man.

On the other hand, everyone is the same.

Zhao Hongyu likes this kind of nature, the natural beauty without carving.

As for city life, Zhao Hongyu doesn't like it at all.

Today, in the cities he founded in the east, you can see this idea as well.

The eagle is different. He had lived in the tribe since he was a child, and if nothing else, he would have lived in a hide shed for the rest of his life, and then spent his days running and hunting in the forest.

As he grew older, he married and had children, and then died of old age.

The eagle doesn't like this kind of life very much, but there is nothing he can do to change it.

If he and Zhao Hongyu are reversed, it is estimated that Xiongying will definitely like city life.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhao Hongyu and Xiongying are both cheap.

The roads in the forest are not smooth, and many places are bumpy.

And half-human-tall in the grass. You don't know if there is some unknown danger hidden in the road.

This moment is still good, but the next moment it is likely that a ferocious boar, or a fierce beast such as a jaguar, will emerge.

Under the leadership of the eagle, Zhao Hongyu and the others walked cautiously and cautiously in the forest.

About an hour or so later. The trip suddenly opened up, and a small hill appeared.

"It's almost there, go over that hill, and behind it is our tribe's camp."

After seeing the hill bag. The eagle's face was full of smiles, which showed that he was still quite excited to get home soon.

Zhao Hongyu looked at it.

This hill bag looks a bit like a steamed bun with no trees on the hillside. There are no half-human-high weeds, but green and faint short-stemmed grass.

At the same time, because this hill is hidden in the forest, it is really difficult to find it if you don't pay attention or don't know the road.

The hill covers an area of about one square kilometer.

And what happened after the mountain bag, it was not for Zhao Hongyu to know the way.

"Don't you have guards?"

Under the leadership of the eagle, Zhao Hongyu greeted the Praetorian Guards, and then sped up a little.

Shaking the reins in his hand, Zhao Hongyu urged the war horse under his crotch to come to the carriage where the eagle was riding and asked.

"Of course, if there were no guards, it would be very troublesome if an enemy came to attack us. Because behind this mountain pack is a small basin, which is also the heart of the mountain pack. Our camp is right there, so if anyone can find it, it's easy to surround us. ”

The eagle raised his hand and gestured at Xiaoshan Bao and said to Zhao Hongyu.

After listening to the eagle's words, Zhao Hongyu stared at the small mountain bag in front of him.

At the same time, he said: If what this eagle said is true, then why did they camp the tribe here? They also understood that if they were attacked by the enemy, the tribe would be very passive, but now that they had their camp here, they really couldn't figure it out.

After thinking of these doubts, Zhao Hongyu asked.

When the eagle heard this, he thought for a moment and replied, "We come back here every spring, summer and autumn when our ancestors found this campsite, so we won't change anything. Besides, there are guards nearby, and even if an enemy finds this place to attack us, the valley behind the mountain pack will be prepared in advance. ”

In fact, it is impossible to let the eagle say that he can't say anything.

In the end, it is still an ancestor or something on the car, which can be regarded as an explanation.

Oh, ancestors.

After Zhao Hongyu listened to Xiongying's words, he didn't plan to communicate in depth.

The respect that the Indians have for their ancestors is absolutely strong.

If we continue to talk, God knows if I have offended the eagle with a word. and even the entire Cook tribe.

If that's the case, it's not very good.

These things were already clear to me when I was dealing with the Mohicans on the East Coast.

And Emma also has her own father-in-law, who also reminded herself to pay attention to this.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu dispelled the idea of continuing to talk about this matter.

Wang Shan has been following behind Zhao Hongyu, he listened quietly to the conversation between Zhao Hongyu and the eagle, and at the same time kept looking at the surrounding terrain, and even secretly remembered the path he had walked when he came.

Goo-goo!

At this time, head to the grass on one side. Suddenly, there was a pheasant crow.

"Stop."

After hearing this voice, the eagle hurriedly turned his head and motioned to Zhao Hongyu to stop the team.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand, stopped the advance of the team, and asked puzzledly.

"I need to speak to the guards, or there will be a misunderstanding."

The eagle explained to Zhao Hongyu.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu nodded.

Then the eagle stood up, stood on the wagon, and learned the sound of 'coo-coo'.

Oh. It turned out that it wasn't a pheasant just now, but a secret code from the Cook tribe guards hidden nearby.

Seeing the eagle doing this, Zhao Hongyu still didn't understand.

Sure enough, when the eagle responded. Behind a large rock not far ahead, an Indian came out as naked as an eagle, but with a small leather pocket on his lower body to cover his vital point.

I don't know what the Indian forehead is smeared on, and it looks red.

on his cheek. There are also tattoos on the left and right.

"These people are friends, and I brought them back to the elders. They brought a lot of goodies and were ready to exchange with us at the camp. And you have to swear an oath to us. ”

When the other party came out and stood in front of the way forward, the eagle shouted to the other party.

Hearing the eagle say this, the other party hurriedly turned around and shouted a few times.

Then, two more young-looking Indians appeared, and they turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the mountain bag.

The Indian in front of him waved at the group.

"Let's move on, someone has already gone to the tribe to inform you."

The eagle sat down again, then turned to Zhao Hongyu and said.

"Forward!"

After a short pause, the team began to move forward again.

As the long line passed by the Cook guard, the fellow looked curiously at the cargo, the vehicles, and the Praetorian Guards' clothing.

The hairstyles of the Indians on the West Coast are noticeably different from those of the Mohicans, and very different from those of the Indians of the East Coast.

They didn't come up with that kind of maverick hairstyle, they just wore their long hair over their shoulders.

Moreover, these people are not clothed and do not even have shoes.

I don't know how they run back and forth in the forest barefoot, and the soles of their feet can stand it?

Zhao Hongyu thought to himself.

In fact, where did he know that the soles of people's feet had already formed a thick layer of cocoons, and there would be no problem running in the forest at all.

When he thinks so, it's just a blind concern.

I don't want to think about it, people have lived like this since they were children, how can they not get used to it when they grow up.

After all, they can only adapt to such an environment, not the environment to adapt to them.

The road ahead was much easier than in the forest, and the carriage was moving smoothly.

After passing through the two hidden sentinels again, Zhao Hongyu and the others finally came to the foot of Xiaoshanbao.

A muddy path with grass twisting and winding appeared in front of them.

Zhao Hongyu observed this small mountain bag, well, it is just eight or nine stories high.

Actually, strictly speaking, it's not a mountain, if anything, it's just a mound.

It's just that this mound exists in a very secluded forest.

Along the dirt road, the procession winds its way up.

After about half an hour, the sun began to set, and they finally reached the top of the hill.

Looking down at the mountain bag, you can see animal skin dome tents and busy people.

Zhao Hongyu even saw that many lower bodies only had a leather curtain blocking the front and back of the lower body. But the women, who had no upper body to cover at all, walked around the tribe with large wooden basins in their hands.

It was ten minutes past sunset, and when they arrived at the camp, it was just time for the women to cook.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu also saw that in front of the tent, puffs of blue-white smoke rose up, which was caused by the women's fire.

"There is a market for iron pots, and there is also a market for rice, so it seems that we can't lose money in this transaction." , Wang Shan, who did not open his mouth along the way, at this time. After looking at the Cook camp in the valley below the mountain, he said to Zhao Hongyu. "It's just that the number of the Cook tribe is a little less, the eagle is not wrong, I roughly glanced at it and estimated that it is only two thousand."

Yes, a small tribe of 2,000 people, even if you want to trade with yourself and want to come to its side to buy power, there is a limit.

Only when there are more people can you make more money.

Zhao Hongyu didn't think so, his opinion was different from Wang Shan's.

Because, Zhao Hongyu knew that there was gold here.

Hey!

Just let the Cooks start cooperating with themselves. Collect gold in exchange for supplies, and then there will be no problem with the purchasing power of this tribe.

In fact, what Zhao Hongyu and they need to worry about is that the other party's consumption power is serious.

There is a gold thing on the Cook side. Zhao Hongyu hasn't told Wang Shan yet.

However, now that they have all seen the camp of the Cook tribe, then they should also tell Wang Shan about this and make him happy.

Besides. In a few days, I will leave here and set off for the East.

When the time comes, everything here will be handed over to Wang Shan to deal with. This matter of gold must have been told to him for a good time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu reached out and groped in his pocket, touched the piece of gold that the eagle and himself exchanged for a little salt, and dangled it in front of Wang Shan's eyes.

"There is a lot of gold near the Cook Clan, so you don't have to worry about the other party's purchasing power at all, but you have to find a way to make them consume as much material as possible, and then we can sell our goods in large quantities."

Gold!

Wang Shan's eyes also lit up.

"Yes, gold, the eagle exchanged such a piece of gold from me for less than a tael of refined salt."

After visually inspecting the gold in Zhao Hongyu's hand, Wang Shan said: "It is estimated that there are twenty grams, and we will lose a little bit of one or two refined salts." ”

Burst!

Zhao Hongyu was choked by Wang Shan's words.

Oh my grandma!

Twenty grams of gold was exchanged for less than one tael of refined salt, and Wang Shan actually said that he had lost money.

"Your Highness, don't look at me like that, I'm not crazy." , Wang Shan looked at Zhao Hongyu and said seriously. "Most of the goods we have on hand are not high-tech, but they are also much more than this era, especially many commodities are still very important, such as iron weapons, salt and grain, so it is not a problem for us to sell for more money."

Wang Shan naturally has his business experience.

It can be seen that Wang Shan was affected by Zhang Tie.

However, Zhao Hongyu also had to admit that Wang Shan was right.

At this time, the people of the Eastern and Western countries still ate the kind of salt grains with high impurities, and the taste was still very bitter.

How could it be compared to the fine salt in Zhao Hongyu's hands.

And salt is a commodity that is definitely available everywhere.

There's no worry that no one buys it.

Even primitive Indian tribes need to eat salt.

In addition to this, grain is also an important commodity.

And in today's world, there is only Zhao Hongyu who has refined salt, refined sugar, and enough rice and vegetables in his hands.

In other words, Zhao Hongyu's business has no competitors at all.

It is also very powerful in adding a product.

So, the price is why not sell it.

What's more, this is the west coast of the American continent, and the Indian tribes here still use wooden weapons and utensils, and there are no iron products at all.

This gave Zhao Hongyu a big profit margin.

If you don't take it, your brain is dead.

"I need to admit that you're right, it seems that you are better suited than me to do business. Wait a minute, we get to the Cook tribe and meet their elders, so you can tell you the rest, and I won't intervene. Zhao Hongyu squeezed his eyebrows at Wang Shan for a while.

Wang Shan nodded: "Leave everything to me, there is no problem." ”

The conversation between the two was very short, just a moment.

After seeing the tribal camp, the eagle looked very excited.

He kept turning around and asked Zhao Hongyu and them to go faster.

Seeing the eagle's constant urging, Zhao Hongyu had no choice but to stop talking to Wang Shan, and then shouted: "Hurry up, everyone!" (To be continued......)
