Chapter 736: Jinshou Peninsula
The imperial fleet was temporarily repaired at the mouth of the Red Flower Valley, and the Red Flower Valley tribe was recruited, including the warriors of the surrounding tribes attached to it, and a total of more than two hundred people were used to make up for the losses caused by the passing storm.
And Asha also placed an order with the Red Flower Valley Tribe, and exchanged many goods and materials purchased in the trading city-state with the Red Flower Valley Tribe.
The tribal people on the Midsummer Islands are not really cold about gold coins. On the contrary, they are quite curious about the outside world, especially the handmade carpets from Mill, hand-fired glassware, exquisite silverware, lace, wool , Fire dragon pepper and so on.
These are actually the reasons why Asha stayed for a while whenever he went to a place. In addition to purchasing some necessary materials, the fleet bought some local specialties and brought them to the next city-state to sell.
The basic rules of operation of the caravan are as simple as that. As long as you sell things from one place to another, of course, the premise is that the place you take cannot also be rich in such things, otherwise the goods will be smashed into your hands.
And Asha also knows that this trip can't be completely dependent on house robbery in exchange for supplies, so she made a plan in advance and operated in the way of a caravan.
This is also an unknown adventure for her. After all, she has not done any business, but fortunately, Asha was right. The chiefs of the Midsummer Islands like these commodities from the outside world. On the contrary, it is not for gold coins. very interested.
Because the mineral resources on the Midsummer Islands are very rich, but the communication with the outside world is relatively poor, even if a fleet comes here, the amount of goods brought is very small.
And most of these fleets are using the idea of exploiting the indigenous people, selling many cheap goods at sky-high prices, in exchange for gold coins that the indigenous people can’t spend, and local specialties of the Midsummer Islands.
However, the merchandise that Asha brought was extremely rich. The chiefs of the Red Flower Valley tribe were dazzled, and the other small tribal chiefs who were attached to the Red Flower Valley tribe also rushed over.
In the end, the chief waved his hand with ten exquisite Mill handmade carpets, some glazed objects, and two cans of dragon pepper in exchange for a thousand golden heart wood longbows.
Then he just said and did it. The labor in the indigenous tribes had nothing to do except hunting, fishing and picking wild fruits.
Therefore, under the initiative of the chief, a large amount of golden heart wood was cut down on the Jinshou Peninsula to make golden heart wood longbow.
For the indigenous chiefs of the Midsummer Islands, these golden heart woods are simply picked up for nothing, so I don't feel that I am at a loss, but make a lot of money.
And the craftsmanship and time cost of making the longbow are not from him, he only needs to order the clansmen to work.
He claimed that anyone who dared to disobey him would be punished by the gods. The chief's former occupation was a sacrifice in the tribe, so he had no flaws in bluffing people and let this group of people work obediently.
The red flower valley tribe is a prosperous work. Because of the large number of craftsmen, it took about half a month to build a thousand gold heart wood longbows.
...
And Asha also took people to run around on the Jinshou Peninsula in the name of visiting during this period.
However, the group of tribesmen from Honghua Valley who were cutting logs found that these outsiders did not seem to be visiting at all. Instead, they seemed to be looking for something. They carried shovel and other tools with them, and they kept searching on the hillside, gravel and river beach. What's going on.
While the tribe’s aborigines told their chief, the chief didn’t doubt that he was there, but felt that they were curious about coming to the Midsummer Islands for the first time, so let them go.
Asha and others are not actually visiting, but looking for something.
谷 She heard the tribal chief casually say at the tribe’s banquet that the Jinshou Peninsula was named after a person who picked up a large piece of gold here.
Say this is undoubtedly, the listener has the heart.
Asha suspects that this Jinshou Peninsula has large reserves of gold mines. She has lived in the Iron Islands since she was a child. Although there are no gold mines on the Iron Islands, they have a lot of iron ore. Therefore, Asha is familiar with minerals.
This kind of big unrefined gold can be seen, unless someone put it here deliberately, otherwise there is a large gold mine underground here.
But think about it, although people on the Midsummer Islands don't care too much about gold coins, after all, this is the only currency in circulation on the Midsummer Islands. In addition to the most common exchange of goods, people trade gold coins for things.
Because the indigenous people of the Midsummer Islands know that although these gold coins cannot be eaten or drunk, those outsiders like them. Seeing the gold coins one by one is like seeing their parents. These gold coins can be collected and exchanged with people outside. , So gold coins also have a certain value in the Midsummer Islands.
So who would throw a head-sized piece of gold on the ground? Asha didn't believe it.
Therefore, it can only explain one reason. There may be a gold mine on the Jinshou Peninsula!
This bold guess made Asha’s heart beat faster. What is the concept of a gold mine? This means sustainable wealth for a long time, and sustainable pie in the sky.
The West is so wealthy. According to legend, Tywin Lannistra's **** is all gold~www.NovelMTL.com~Why? Isn't it just relying on the gold mines in the West?
If there really is a gold mine here, plus the reasons that Asha's uncle Victarion encouraged her.
She could really suddenly turn her face down and smashed an island, where she proclaimed herself king.
The Grand Duke of the Midsummer Islands? Or go one step further, the Queen of the Midsummer Islands?
Asha was really a little heart-stirred, but she was not a mindless and irrational person. She suppressed her excitement and didn't tell too many people about it except her uncle.
And perhaps because Victarion’s injury has not healed, his face is a bit ugly, but Asha, who is on the head of happiness, did not notice this.
Then Asha led several cronies and began to search for traces of gold mines all over the Jinshou Peninsula.
Although she is very familiar with iron ore, Asha has never been in contact with gold mines. She and her iron species do not know how to find gold mines, so they can only cast their nets aimlessly, hoping to be able to The blind cat ran into a dead mouse.
But unfortunately, maybe Asha guessed wrong. There is no gold mine here. The legend of Jinshou Peninsula is just a legend. The Red Flower Valley tribe built a long bow for half a month, and they ran here for half a month. , But there was no gain, not even the shadow of the gold mine.
But at this moment, suddenly there was bad news.
Some iron species left behind on the ship ran to report to Asha, claiming that her uncle Victarion had suddenly fainted.
