Later, all the members of the tribe tasted the salt, and they felt that the yellow people in front of them were not outsiders, but the gods sent by the umbrella tree to guide them, so they knelt down in front of the umbrella tree and thanked the gods for the gift.

Sita looked at each other, "What's the matter, so they bow down to the tree?"

The interpreter explained: "They are now worshipping the tree, and that peculiar tree seems to be the symbol of their tribe. ”

"What age is it, and I still believe in the tree."

"Haha, compared to them, it seems that our people are not much better."

Everyone understands what it means, after all, they are all highly educated people, and the first lesson they learned when they entered the university is that God is virtual, and the professor also overturned the theory of God for them, and elaborated on it from many aspects, which made them have a very profound impact, and the professor also said that if you want to study a certain project or hold a position in a certain place, you must not use theology, many times God is useless, such as when Khmer and Da Viet stayed in Cham, they did not see Shiva go down to save Cham in danger.

"Freedom of belief, freedom of belief, there is no need to talk about that, isn't there a Brahmanical sect in our country, and there are Buddhism and tribes that believe in elephants? Besides, Your Majesty has also announced the policy of freedom of religious belief, hasn't he? ”

Since the capture of Pingzhi City, Champa has promulgated a policy of religious tolerance, requiring all localities to implement freedom of belief, not to suppress a certain religion or force the people to convert, and even set up supervision departments in local governments to accept reports from the people.

"Indeed." So the people waited for the completion of the sacrifice of the Grubibes, and they returned to the fire.

The chief asked, "Is there any purpose for the envoy to come this time?" ”

Somehow he got the title of an oracle, the translator said: "No, no, no, we are not oracles, we just want to trade with you and exchange our products for your other items." ”

Then he looked at the three of them, the Great Elder, the Chief, and the Wizard and discussed.

"What did you tell them?" He was the governor of the Sita settlement, named Hou Zongsheng, and he was in charge of the general affairs of the entire settlement, that is, he was in charge of directing and handing in reports.

"I said that we were not oracles, but only trade with them." Translator said.

"You're stupid." Hou Zongsheng said, and then he said: "They treat us as divine envoys, why don't we admit it, use this identity to better manage here, compared to us having the identity of divine envoys, it is more convenient to carry out all kinds of activities." ”

The interpreter felt that he had done something wrong and remained silent. The chieftain did not continue to speak until the chieftain of the Gubbigubi tribe seemed to have reached some sort of agreement with the shaman.

Hou Zongsheng scratched his head, he couldn't do anything big without a translator: "What is he talking about?" ”

The translator hurriedly translated: "He means that they have agreed to trade." ”

Hou Zongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the result of the success of trade did not change, so Sita and everyone looked at Gubi Gubi's goods, kangaroo meat, well, delicious. Is this a spear? It's a spear made of wood.

However, someone still noticed the tip of the spear, and he leaned in to take a look, and was shocked to see it, this is the copper they need in the country, and they didn't expect to find a new source of copper so soon.

He told the others about the discovery, and they were pleasantly surprised, so the interpreter pointed to the tip of the spear and asked, "Where did you find this?" ”

The chief naturally didn't dare to hide it, although they said that they were not oracles, but looking at them dressed in strange costumes that were completely different from them, glamorous, and looking at their own, they couldn't be compared at all, and as far as he knew, several small tribes around him who were good friends were naked. Isn't this an oracle?

"To the south of our tribe, we found a lot of this thing there, and it was harder than stone, so we used it to make weapons."

After the translator translated, everyone was ecstatic, but they didn't expect to find a large amount of copper ore just after coming to this continent, and they said that it seemed to be still an exposed copper mine, and it was not difficult to mine.

"But it's the territory of other settlements now, and we went to pick up this kind of stone and were attacked by them. We also wanted to take revenge, but they were a tribe of more than 5,000 people, and we only had 500 of them, so we never went there again. ”

"Do you know the exact location of that copper mine?" The Governor asked.

"Remember, we've been there many times, and we're familiar with it, so did the oracle want us to take you there?"

"Yes, but we're not in a hurry, let's wait a while."

Hou Zongsheng asked the interpreter to tell the chief that he hoped that they could come to Sita for a visit sometime, and after receiving the chief's answer, everyone returned to the Sita settlement.

Hou Zongsheng plans to expand the production of salt, and in addition to the current salt production supplied to Sita and the people of the Umbrella Tree tribe, there is still a large amount of salt stored in the warehouse, and now more salt is produced for the fleet to bring back to China. Now that the planting season is over, a large number of peasant laborers have been released. Now is a good period to engage in the salt industry, there are nearly 200 skilled workers specializing in salt production, each small salt pond can hold 10 liters of seawater, can produce about three catties of salt, all the skilled workers move, basically can also produce 100 catties of salt a day, if salt is produced now, it will greatly increase the salt output.

A country cannot be left without a king, and a home cannot be without an owner for a day. The fact that the Khmer monarch died violently and did not have an heir was also taken advantage of by those who wanted to do so.

On September 21, the 23rd year of the reign of Phnom Penh, the usurpers believed that they were the reincarnation of Suriyati and had fooled a large number of people, and now they are revolting in Phnom Penh, seizing various places and wanting to re-enter Angkor.

On September 22, the twenty-third year of Zheng, the nobles sent their own soldiers to quell the rebellion, and the front line was busy with war, so they couldn't let them come back to quell the rebellion, compared to the rebels, the Majapahit would be more terrifying. The officials hope to transfer the army back to the country, and there are many supporters of the great prince in the army, and with the army, the success rate of the eldest prince on the throne is higher.

On September 23, the 23rd year of the reign of the 23rd year, the nobles announced that they had discovered the will of Suriyadi, and appointed the little prince as the heir, and the nobles took over the affairs of the state, formed a team of noble regents, and announced to the world: Our heir is still young, and now the older nobles will take over and contribute to the country.
