Ten days later, Heiwa returned to the base camp with a large jar full of diamonds (which the female chief of the Big Tree Tribe insisted on supplying).

On the way, Gao Huaiyu's personal soldiers had already been heard talking about what had happened recently.

Before the meeting of the three bigwigs, Heiwa put the diamond clay pot on the table, and the diamonds poured out of the table blinded the eyes of the two bigwigs.

"Gems? Is there a gem in this place? Gao Huaiyu exclaimed, the high-yield gold mine has already made them a big windfall, but they didn't expect that there is a lot of gold and a lot of gems here!

Wait! When he first arrived here, he remembered that Zhong Qinbo seemed to have bragged about this bull! Nonsense can be honored?!

"Hahaha, isn't it just a gem!" Heiwa was so happy that he saved dozens of big pigeon eggs for his daughter-in-law.

"Uncle, this kind of gem, we have also exchanged it in the Inca Empire, this one is not as beautiful as those colored gems!" Huang Shangshu picked one up and looked at it for a long time before he said with certainty.

"Who says gemstones have to be colored to be valuable? Lord Shangshu, this gem is very useful! After Heiwa finished speaking, she smiled mysteriously.

He picked up a random diamond from the table, and picked up a glass cup, and after a few strokes, the cup was broken.

Gao Huaiyu stood up suddenly, he looked at the scratched edge of the glass cup, took one himself, and then made: "This thing is still quite hard?" It's good to use it to draw glass! ”

provoked Heiwa to hold her breath, and she couldn't wait to shake this stupid guy awake: "General, such a gem, it's not good to destroy the heavens!" Are you pondering on refining weapons? ”

Gao Huaiyu nodded again and again: If there is a gem as big as a whetstone, how sharp can the sword be?!

Huang Shangshu once again affirmed the value of the diamond, and asked Zhongqinbo to hurry up and change more, all of which were made into a book, and they were to be brought back to His Majesty the Emperor.

"The news of gold here here is probably not hidden for long. Or? Let's organize the shippers to trade together, just like in the Inca Empire. "They have to give some soup to the shippers when they eat meat, and they still have to give the clan a little face.

"I really don't want to be cheap to those people, this really makes them pick up a big bargain!" The gold they exchanged was not brought back to their own homes, but brought back to the Great Xia treasury, and the shippers would only row it to their own homes.

"Hehe, General, I think the natives must be more willing to believe in a few of us, even if we change, we can exchange no less things than the shippers. Especially the grain we harvest, as long as the tribe has tasted it, it should be willing to change. Silk, tea, porcelain, etc., where is it more precious than food?! ”

"Uncle is so right, the old man agrees, this will be changed, we are not afraid!" There are several big killers such as sweet potatoes, and Huang Shangshu is full of confidence.

"Actually, we've only seen four tribes, and how many can we get back for ten or twenty tribes? Come on, let's divide the work, and in this way, you divide the brothers into ten teams of 1,000 people each, and then we."

How to take the initiative and find more indigenous tribes (gold, diamonds) became the theme of this conference.

After the meeting, several representatives of shipbuilders who had gained more than ten pounds were found:

"What? Doing business with the natives? Yes! Uncle, you're not joking, are you? "The shipwrecks thought they were hallucinating, what was there for the indigenous tribes to trade!

"No joke, the natives have seen gold, but the rule here is barter, not gold." Zhong Qinbo lightly dropped bombs on the shippers.

"Gold? Natives have gold in their hands? Hey, uncle, why didn't you say it earlier? We do! ”

The ship's hearts were in turmoil: it seems that the uncle and the general have known about it for a long time, and they can't hide it before they tell them. Well, how can you stay here for so long for the sake of this sweet potato and corn?

This kind of food has also been harvested, but there is no intention to set off, feelings, there is still gold here!

As if he had missed a billion billion, he scolded these three people half to death in his heart, and all kinds of gratitude on his face were overflowing.

A successful businessman must be a qualified actor.

How could they bear such grievances alone? The rest of the shippers, who were one step behind and got the news, were hit hard.

They catch fish and eat meat every day, and their eyes are full of newly built cargo ships.

Unexpectedly, these natives don't know how to make goods, and it's not rare to use stones as weapons.

They have been here for so long, and they don't bother to deal with these uncivilized people, and they miss the opportunity.

From tomorrow onwards, they will have to exchange their own skills for gold, and no one can stop them from making a fortune!

If you want to go to a tribe farther away, you must not be able to leave the locals, Heiwa took her two sons to the jungle tribe in person.

They wanted to hire dozens of brothers from the jungle tribe to lead the way and translate for them.

But as soon as they arrived at the jungle tribe, Chief Amu was very excited, and asked Amanlin to tell Heiwa:

"Our annual tribal gathering, the sun will set thirty more times! It's all the tribes of the land who want to participate! ”

Heiwa, who was going to trek through mountains and rivers and trade with other tribes, was really sleepy and met a pillow just after she came.

After inquiring about the trading format of this large gathering, as well as the items they are used to trading. He happily made an appointment with Chief Amu that they would go with the Jungle Tribe to this year's big gathering.

Back at the base camp, as soon as Zhong Qinbo announced the good news, no one was unhappy.

The shipwrecks hurriedly checked the rest of their goods, thinking about what to exchange with the natives in order to maximize their profits.

The base camp was busy, and the shipwrights were ordered again to help make up the memorization.

The memorization should also be very finely braided, and the gap should be smaller than a person's finger, so that the person who goes to the large assembly must have a memorization for each person.

Shipwright: We are shipbuilders, weaving sieves, weaving backs, this is the work of the craftsmen, the craftsmen!

What to trade with the natives? The Big Three discussed for half an hour: grain, clothing, and salt.

Gao Huaiyu is loyal and diligent and shrewd, and the case is amazing, and it is basically a business without capital!

In his heart, the goods that are planted or created with a little effort are all worthless, and labor is worthless.

The food, of course, was their new harvest of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. In the words of the loyal and diligent uncle, they can also be regarded as benefiting this wild land. The grass seeds and plant rhizomes of the indigenous people need to be renewed.

Where do the clothes come from? Thirty thousand sailor brothers, don't be embarrassed to move some slightly new summer clothes.

Heiwa secretly thought: No matter how good the silk is, will these people do it? Ready-to-wear is good!

About their killer feature: salt!

Where did Heiwa get the news from their son, Amanlin said that their salt was better than what their tribe had exchanged, and it was only salty and not bitter.

The children are very resistant to their use of salt to clean their teeth, and they think it is too wasteful!

Chief Amu also said that there are more than 100 tribes living on this land, large and small.

There are so many tribes, and there is only one that knows how to make salt - the lake salt tribe.

Every year, at the annual assembly, other tribes without salt will exchange salt with the most delicious prey and the most delicious plant roots in their tribe.

Once a year, the jungle tribe has to prepare for this for nearly two months. It is also necessary to catch the prey alive as much as possible and bring it to the big gathering, so as to ensure that the meat of the prey is the freshest.

Salt with a bitter taste is not easy to obtain, which shows how precious salt is to the natives.

Since this year's big gathering has allowed them to catch up, they can't let the Huyan tribe be beautiful!

Boiling salt directly with seawater is time-consuming and wasteful, with the wisdom of Zhongqinbo, the sailors are now cooking salt a lot easier.

Salt sand pits, filter pools, and large stoves for boiling salt are all indispensable.

When the sky is dark, the sailors need to go to the deep sea, take a large amount of seawater back, and sprinkle it evenly on a clean sand.

The scorching sun here will dry this thin layer of sediment at noon, and white salt crystals can be seen in the dried sediment.

Then pour such dry salt sand into the salt sand pit, fill it full, and then spread it flat and compact.

Finally, a layer of meadow was spread on top of the pit filled with salt sand, and a large amount of seawater began to pour into it, which infiltrated and filtered into the filter pond connected to the salt sand pit.

The filter basin is connected one by one, and filtered until the concentration of salt brine reaches the standard of boilable salt. There is no professional tool to measure the concentration of salt brine, so you can only try it a few times.

After tossing for three days, I found the best answer in the seventh filter pool.

The salt brine with the most suitable salt concentration can be boiled in a large pot to easily obtain edible sea salt.

Ten large iron pots can boil more than 500 catties of salt in a day.

If they had been boiling until the day of the great assembly, they would have been able to boil the salt of more than 100 tribes for a year.

The intimate Zhongqin Bo, where is the Hetan kiln where he still grows sweet potatoes, burns a lot of big-eared black clay pots, which are specially used to hold salt.

With such a big movement, the shippers can see it clearly, but can they grab a deal with the imperial court? It's not that it's tired and crooked!

In addition to being busy guiding the burning of pottery and salt, Zhongqinbo didn't want his brothers to be idle at all, and he was clearing the wasteland again!

He was reluctant to lose the vines that had been dug up from the sweet potato, so he cut off the thickest parts and continued to insert fibers.

In addition to sweet potatoes, the unused potatoes and corn on the ship continued to be planted, and the grain of hundreds of acres of land was enough for them to eat until they left, and they could pull dozens of boats.

Among the vegetables, tomatoes have become everyone's favorite, and they unanimously ask to continue planting, and they can eat them as fruits.

The wasteland that had been planted with a stubble before is now covered with a thick layer of manure and needs to be raised for a while.

Busy days are always fast, according to the calendar of Great Xia, it is not long after the first month, mid-spring! It's a hot summer here.
