Chapter XVIII. Gold
However, these things outside the body could not attract Liu Yi. What attracted him was something else.
On this golden statue, Liu Yi felt a huge incense wishing power.
Just shook it with his hand and pressed it on the golden python's head. The endless incense power was all sucked away by Liu Yi.
I don't know if this is the power of incense that has been accumulated for hundreds of years or thousands of years. But it was these natives who worshipped this python, but this python could not absorb the power of these incense wishes, but accumulated and stored it.
Even later, it was about this giant python that had learned how to refine these incense wishes. But such a huge base also made this giant python not absorb much.
In short, it's all cheaper than Lew. In the sea of his knowledge, the talisman like a nine-story pagoda finally lit up the first layer.
Shenchi once again appeared in the sea of knowledge, a surging power, surging in the body.
"Leu, you arrived first...... It's ......"
Li Fang was halfway through his words, and he paused, and his breathing almost stopped. The huge golden python in front of him brought him an incomparable shock.
Although this time, their fleet has invested more than 10,000 gold cakes in total.
However, there was never a chance to pile up and look at it. I'm afraid that no matter how rich Da Chu is, he rarely has this kind of opportunity.
Da Chu has long been popular Jiaozi flying tickets, and there are such things in large circulation. No one would put so much gold in their homes.
In short, no one would have known that so much gold would be so spectacular.
With the arrival of the large army, when they saw this golden python, they all sighed. Some people even went crazy and used to raise knives and slash indiscriminately. Then he giggled in his arms and smirked in a large chunk of gold.
Xu Yi wanted to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by Li Fang: "The Son of Heaven is not short of hungry soldiers." What's more, I'm waiting?"
Anyway, they can't bring back this whole golden python. It must be cut into dozens of pieces before it can be taken away. They themselves will take the lion's head. These sailors followed them through tens of thousands of miles of sea, and came here with a lot of hardship, can't they still share some soup?
Liu Yi shook his head lightly: "Otherwise, it is forbidden for the dead to be taken away, and it is good to share the spoils of war." With such a fighting spirit, discipline will not be weakened. ”
Without enough force to suppress it, what Lewi said was naturally not feasible. But this is an era in which force is respected.
Needless to say, Liu Yi is naturally a master, it is Xu Yi and Li Fang, both of whom are the most elite prisoners in the country. I never saw them make a move. However, in the country where you can learn the best swordsmanship. These two people will not be bad at skill. It's enough to suppress!
At that moment, Liu Yi came out and shouted a few words. All present were given five pieces of gold. However, the gold on the scene cannot be hidden privately, and those who violate the order will be killed!
An order was given, and these sailors were immediately shocked.
Da Chu has quite complete laws for going to sea, and if these sailors want to return to Da Chu, they can only obey orders.
The remuneration has already been given to them before going to sea, after going to sea. How the spoils were distributed was the business of the shipowner.
If they see riches, or if they seek to kill them. It is to go back to Dachu, if the owner can't go back. Waiting for these ordinary sailors will also be endless investigations. And the wealth they bring back will not belong to them.
Unless they are incognito. Don't go back to the mainland of Dachu. Just their parents and wives, since they went to sea. will be taken care of by the local government. If you want to pick it up, it's not that easy.
is not to return to the native of Dachu. Like this guy with an unknown origin and a huge fortune. It will not be protected by the laws of Dachu, and everywhere, it will be the object of coveting.
This qiē has long formed a fairly complete set of light and dark rules in the history of thousands of years of going to sea. It's not that easy to break.
Not to mention, Liu Yi, as the number one master in the fleet, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
As soon as he spoke, although these sailors were still a little unwilling, they could only restrain their greed and obediently obey orders. Cut the gold open and transport it back to the ship.
Liu Yi was not very interested in these golds, and once sat on the whole world. He is the supreme lord of the world. How can this bit of gold be placed in his eyes?
He was interested in nothing more than other things.
The brigade collected gold in the city, but Liu Yi searched around the city.
The city had a population of about seven or eight thousand, with the exception of those who had been killed and taken prisoner in battle. Most of the rest have fled into the forest.
Liu Yi interrogated the captives, and in addition to this city, there were some vassal tribes on this island, and the total population would not exceed 20,000.
Moreover, they are not indigenous to the area. But they migrated here from other places more than 100 years ago.
The steamship that sank near this island is not Da Chu. Instead, it came from the other side of the sea, in a place called Leeing.
These people came to the island in a big way, and as a result, all five steamships were defeated by the totemic python they worshipped. Even a lot of sailors were captured.
Liu Yi was overjoyed, and the two sides did not understand the language. Naturally, Liu Yi did not communicate with them in words. Instead, search their memories directly.
It soon became known that some of these Liying captives were sacrificed to the python to eat. Some were used as slaves.
Lewy quickly found the place where the slaves were held and found these so-called Liying.
But they were all Caucasian, and their hair was yellow or red. One by one, they were tied together by ropes, their faces were yellow and thin, but they were wolves to the extreme.
Liu Yi quickly got some information from these people, and his face was cloudy and cloudy, and he became very exciting.
In recent days, the entire fleet has been in a frenzied atmosphere.
In addition to the golden python, they found a large amount of gold in the city.
Although Liu Yi began to speculate that there might be a gold mine on this island, he has not yet had time to confirm it.
But only the harvest in the city. But it's enough to overjoye anyone.
It was Xu Yi who couldn't help but add the bonus to seven gold cakes.
That's definitely a big number, don't forget about it. Even Wang Ran and Gao Feng, the two masters of the Demon Exterminator. At the beginning, they were willing to go to sea for ten golden cakes.
Not to mention that for these ordinary sailors, this is a huge amount of money. It's enough for them to go back to after Da Chu. Buy a small estate of a few hundred acres and marry a few beautiful wives. Then I lived happily ever after for the rest of my life.
As for Wang Ran, thanks to his Black Tide Gu, this time he was able to get two hundred pieces of gold cakes alone. It was Gao Feng, and they were all divided into thirty pieces.
Like Lewy, that's more.
The owner of the boat, who took the risk of investing, simply smiled crookedly.
Only this trip, his investment has been rewarded several times.
During this time, the rest of the island's natives launched a counterattack. Wants to destroy ships on the shore.
Outcome. was discovered, several shelled past. The natives fled back twice as fast as they had come.
In short, since the death of that totem python. These natives have been frightened and have nothing to fear.
It wasn't until their excitement subsided a little that Liu Yi told the news he had heard.
"Wouldn't that Liying be the hometown of the enchantress on our ship?" asked Xu Yi with concern.
Liu Yi smiled and said nothing, although he was not on a boat. But Xu Yi seems to have been fighting with a certain goblin recently, and he is also very clear.
"No, these elves are elves who live in the forest. But Leeng is different...... The steamship that ran aground on the shore. It's Leeing's. They sent five of them......"
As soon as he said this, Xu Yi and the others immediately gasped.
The steamship that ran aground on the reef had already been inspected. Although the development idea is different from that of Da Chu, the comprehensive strength is weaker than that of Da Chu. But all five ships attacked. Their fleet is absolutely unstoppable!
With such a huge force, it must be a country with a high degree of civilization. It can't be the home of the elves.
This is something that everyone has thought of. Soon a strange smile appeared on their faces.
Their luck seems to be good!
Grab so much gold. Although precious. But if the details of this Li Ying can be detected, then the fifth-rank nobleman of Da Chu. It's already waving to them.
The twenty-fourth rank of Da Chu, the so-called fifth-class civil lord. Fourteenth Rank Officer. There is also a fifth-class duke, a duke, an uncle, and a male fifth-class nobleman.
The so-called nobles can divide the land as a vassal prince.
Back then, there was a guy called Dragon Soul. Somewhere on the other side of the river, he got the technology of the steam engine. Then he went back and dedicated himself to the Son of Heaven.
Immediately, he was divided into three thousand miles of land and made a marquis. The family is still alive today.
This story, though hundreds of years have passed. However, it has always inspired those who go to sea and want to make a difference.
"We can't have too many people coming over, if Lybin is really such a powerful country. ”
Obtaining information and news from Leeon may not be so important. But it's also a great achievement.
It would be best if you could get the news of the enemy on the other side. But each of them knew that Li Ying was definitely not an enemy on the other side.
The other side is huge, so big that it is beyond the imagination of the people of Great Chu.
Although in the country of Great Chu, it is not explicitly stated. It's as if the whole other side is full of enemies.
However, in fact, the other side is vast though. Da Chu has already come into contact with more than a dozen countries.
However, the enemy of Da Chu is only one of them.
Even, as far as Leo Yi knows, this enemy on the other side. It is also the enemy of all the civilizations that Da Chu has come into contact with.
And this Liying, I don't know if it's among these countries.
However, anyway. They finally got a great opportunity this time!
Now, decide. Send a ship with the Yi Zi to take some goods and go to Liying to have a look. However, Xu Yi Li Fang and others want to take a large army to sweep around this island, or see if it can be built into a base. By the way, I found the big gold mine in the speculation.
After such a division of labor, Liu Yi did not hesitate. So the ship with the Yi Zi went to Liying according to the route that had been discovered by the captive Liying's sailors.
Although Liu Yi had already seen the earth's qi like a mountain, he felt that there would be a continent ahead.
However, they set out from this island. It was still more than a thousand miles before he got close to the mainland.
However, it was not yet before they could see what that so-called continent looked like. Liu Yi had already frowned slightly, and quietly hid his own Divine Pool Talisman.
He had already felt that on that continent, there was a divine power. There are many gods and goddesses, large and small.
With Liu Yi's current strength, he didn't dare to expose it. Otherwise, it would be self-defeating.
Then, one of them, the ship headed for a port called Myron, following the route of their memory.
According to Lewi's recollections, the port of Myron was very prosperous. Merchant ships of all kinds often travel here.
Even in the memories of those Lebrin sailors, there are still images of these goblins. Obviously, the Liying people are no strangers to these goblins.
Sure enough, came to this Myron port. It is a noisy and lively scene, and it is even better than Tongcheng Port and COSCO Port in Dachu.
However, Tongcheng Port and COSCO Port are both semi-military ports, and they are lively, so naturally they cannot be compared with the commercial ports in front of them.
Sure enough, all kinds of strange styles of ships appeared in this harbor.
Steam ships, which are rarely seen in Dachu, are not uncommon here. The various steamships and sailing ships are mixed together, showing a kind of chaos and the charm of changing times.
"What's that?"
Someone asked, with sharp eyes and horror.
Just in the distance, even a couple of warships were seen. And although these warships are no more than five or six hundred tons, they look like they are made of steel. It's actually a steel battleship.
"It seems to be an ironclad ship!" Liu Yi said secretly in his heart.
This made Liu Yidu a little frightened, that is, Wang Ran and Gao Feng. It's all impressively discolored.
They have always been proud of the strength of Da Chu. However, what is seen in front of the eyes now. Looking at the whole thing, just from this port, it seems that the technology of this place is not below Da Chu, but may be above Da Chu.
This qiē shocked them deeply!
When a ship enters the port, there is a tax collector to collect the tax. Lewy found that the port did not collect heavy taxes, but only according to the tonnage of ships. and do not look at the goods.
Like this Yi Zi, but it collects a tax of one gold coin. That's about one-fifth of the weight of a gold cake.
Gold is indeed a hard currency, and it can be circulated everywhere.
Of course, Liu Yi would not take out the gold coin, but just put a small piece of gold in his hand. The weight looks about the same.
The tax collectors said they didn't mind. They dealt with ships of all races all day long, and received all kinds of strange currency.
Even in many cases, the harvest is still in kind. Like fur or something.
Let Wang Ran and Gao Feng take the sailors to guard the boat, and Liu Yi took two sailors by his side and got off the boat. (To be continued......)
