- Guli people
This is another time and space, what the Europeans called the indigenous people on the Australian continent.
But in this time and space, because the Song Empire discovered Australia almost a hundred years earlier than the Europeans, this name is destined to be changed.
Australian soil!
This is a new name given by Wu Zhenyu to the Australian aborigines. Although this name is not very good, it is easy to understand and easy to understand.
In this way, the name Aotu spread throughout the empire.
Even more than ten years later, after the indigenous people of Australia, like the Indians, have integrated into the empire and become citizens, their ID cards will also have the word "Australian" written on them.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Today, the Aboriginals of Australia don¡¯t know that they were given such a rustic name, and it will stay with them for hundreds of years.
Furthermore, in this era, the only Australian aborigines who first came into contact with the Song Empire were the Maojista tribe.
"As for integrating into the empire, that's far from being discussed.
After all, the empire¡¯s current development focus is the American continent and the East.
On the Australian side, the empire has no time to take care of it, nor does it have much experience to take care of it.
Therefore, what Wu Zhenyu can do is to try his best to have a good relationship with the local indigenous people and avoid any conflicts.
¡°After all, if there is any conflict, it¡¯s not that the empire can¡¯t resolve it.
But this will allow the empire to allocate some energy and resources, which is very troublesome.
Wu Zhenyu¡¯s personal intention is that he does not want to cause any trouble to the empire.
At least, it would be better not to cause trouble while the empire can have the energy to develop Australia.
Wu Zhenyu and the others arrived on the coast of Sydney, Australia half a year ago, and his fortress was also named Sydney Fortress.
It was two months ago that we came into contact with the local Maojista tribe and started small-scale trade.
At this time, it is November, but the climate in Australia is still as hot as summer. There is no such desolate coldness as in late autumn, and Wu Zhenyu and the others are still wearing sea soul shirt-style vests.
At this time, the American continent was different. In another time and space, the Chinese military uniforms of the 1960s and 1970s, including cotton trousers and military coats, were already worn by people.
The city of Manhattan has been covered with fallen leaves, giving it the bleak beauty of a city in late autumn.
"Sir, the people from the Maojista tribe are here again to exchange for food."
"Wu Zhenyu, the commander of the Sydney Fortress who looked like a Hong Kong and Taiwan star, had just washed his face and brushed his teeth in the early morning of this day when he encountered a report from his subordinates.
"These guys have tasted the sweetness. It seems that they have never eaten such delicious food."
Although he was complaining, Wu Zhenyu put down the towel in his hand and followed the subordinate out of the room.
After he came outside, he saw the indigenous people not far away.
There are several familiar animals tied to the wooden sticks carried by these guys. The naive look of those animals makes people laugh.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s because they are not comfortable, so they always struggle slowly. Unfortunately, because the indigenous people tie them very tightly, their struggle is useless.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????This is not a koala.
Although Wu Zhenyu was far away, he could clearly see what kind of animal it was.
¡°What, do these indigenous people just want to use these koalas in exchange for food?
This is simply impossible.
Although koalas are cute, they have little value.
This thing is worthless.
This is like the giant panda in China. Although it is a national treasure, it is not very reliable for trading.
"At least, you have to exchange gold for it."
Wu Zhenyu really doesn¡¯t know what to say to these indigenous people.
However, there is really nothing he can do about this matter. After all, he is not like Zhao Hongyu, who has a language plug-in that can communicate with anyone in the world.
He, Wu Zhenyu, has only been in Australia for half a year. It is simply impossible for him to communicate with the indigenous people on the Australian continent without any obstacles in such a short period of time.
¡°But even if he couldn¡¯t communicate, he still had to try.
You know, doing this kind of thing??Valuable trade, unless he becomes mentally retarded.
Immediately, he walked over with his men.
This time, the native who came to the fortress for trade was an elder of the Maojista tribe.
After the elder saw Wu Zhenyu, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
After two months of contact, the senior leaders of the Maojista tribe also have a general understanding of Wu Zhenyu¡¯s identity.
The indigenous people are a bit backward, but that doesn¡¯t mean they are brainless fools.
So, of course they knew that Wu Zhenyu might be the leader of these outsiders.
To the leader, of course, you have to show respect.
Wu Zhenyu walked up to the elder and nodded at him.
Then he came to the side of the koala, raised his finger and pointed at the slowly struggling koala on the ground, and then shook his head.
Although there is a language barrier, humans can still more or less determine some meanings through physical communication.
The elder saw Wu Zhenyu¡¯s actions, how could he not understand?
It is obvious that the leader of the outsiders means that such fat animals cannot be traded.
In fact, these people of the Maojista tribe bring some things to trade with these outsiders every day. In the process, they are constantly testing what things the other party can trade.
Therefore, when the elder saw that Koala could not make a deal, although his face was very disappointed, he also remembered it.
"Well, Koala can't do transactions. It seems that he needs to go back and inform the clan leader.
For things that cannot be used for trading, this elder obviously doesn't care.
Wu Zhenyu reached into his arms and took out a small bag.
When he opened the small opening of his pocket, he poured out some small golden particles.
Yes, these small particles are gold particles.
This is a small part of the transaction process with these natives in the past two months.
He placed his palm in front of the elder, pointed at the gold particles, and nodded repeatedly.
That means that this kind of thing can be traded.
Within a short time, the elder understood what Wu Zhenyu meant.
In fact, there are no fools among people.
As long as you can be patient, you can still communicate.
You know, in the modern world of another time and space, there are people who don¡¯t know foreign languages ????and travel around the world.
Therefore, if the language is different, it does not necessarily mean that communication is impossible, but it will cause a lot of trouble.
After understanding what Wu Zhenyu meant, the elder turned around and shouted several times at the tribal warriors he had brought.
Then, a guy who just covered his lower body with an unknown plant walked quickly behind the elder, then took out a small bag woven from plant vines from behind and handed it over.
After the elder took the small bag woven from plant vines, he reached in and took it out.
Gold!
When the elder¡¯s hand was taken out, Wu Zhenyu¡¯s eyes were immediately attracted to it.
There are a few large gold particles in the elder's hand, and they look very pure.
Although it has not been refined, it looks very good.
??Just by visual inspection, the number of grams is quite a lot.
Wu Zhenyu nodded at the elder and said that this thing could be traded, and then the elder grinned.
The next thing becomes simple, it¡¯s just a matter of seeing what the elder wants to change.
Unlike the Indians, the indigenous people in Australia have no interest in weapons or anything like that.
They are very concerned about the non-staple foods and seasonings that Wu Zhenyu brings out.
? Almost every transaction, they will get a lot back.
Of course, these natives are not uninterested in iron products.
Like some iron pots or something, they will also need them.
It¡¯s just that compared to food and seasonings, the transaction volume is not very large.
As usual, Wu Zhenyu asked his subordinates to take out the samples that he could trade with the other party and let the other party choose.
After some selection, the elder picked up the thirteen incense and iron pot samples and expressed hisThis time such a commodity needs to be traded.
Wu Zhenyu is not surprised by this at all. After all, they have only wanted these products for the past two months.
The elder took out more than 30 grains of gold, which was not a lot. After Wu Zhenyu asked his men to weigh it, he knew that the weight of these 30 grains of gold was about 150 grams.
This is not very light.
¡° If this was sold into the virtual world, the current price would be thirty to forty thousand yuan.
After all, the price of gold in the virtual world has fallen somewhat recently.
But even if it falls, this transaction can still be done.
You know, the other party brought out more than 150 grams of gold, and what Wu Zhenyu traded to the other party was only two small iron pots and three small bags of thirteen incense.
The iron pot is of very low quality. In another modern era, it only cost more than thirty yuan a piece. There are so many roadside stalls that you can just buy it casually.
And a small bag of Thirteen Incense only costs seven or eight yuan, which is extremely cheap.
The total price of these products is less than one hundred yuan.
But Wu Zhenyu got thirty to forty thousand yuan in gold from the indigenous people.
It would be a lie to say that such a transaction is not hugely profitable.
"If it were in modern times, Wu Zhenyu's actions would definitely be envied, jealous and hated by countless people, and then smeared in various ways.
But this was in the seventeenth century and it was perfectly legal.
¡°Furthermore, Wu Zhenyu doesn¡¯t think he is that black, at least he is better than Europeans.
You know, in another history of time and space, the Dutch just used a few glass balls to trick the Indians into Manhattan.
This is called black heart.
"What's the use of that broken glass ball? It's not as useful as the pot and thirteen incense I traded with the Australian indigenous people."
This transaction was completed in a pleasant atmosphere.
¡°Both Wu Zhenyu and the indigenous elder thought that the other party was a fool.
It¡¯s you who takes advantage.
After all, the two parties look at things from different angles and have different value judgments on some things.
So, it¡¯s really hard to say who is stupid and who is smart.
But now, they both think the other party is the fool.
Gold is valuable to the empire, but those pots and thirteen incense are of little value.
Therefore, Wu Zhenyu believes that such a transaction is profitable.
On the other hand, Australia¡¯s Aboriginal elders don¡¯t think so.
He felt that the gold he used to trade was just some broken stones. It could not be used as food or water and was of no use at all.
As long as the people in the tribe can be more diligent, they can still pick up a lot in the nearby forest.
And these broken stones can be exchanged for sturdy iron pots that are not afraid of fire, as well as spices that can make food delicious. This is simply a very profitable thing.
Thinking about it, these guys must be out of their minds, otherwise how could they do such a loss-making thing?
However, he will not tell the other party this matter.
Since the other party is so stupid, let them stay stupid.
Only if they continue to be so stupid can the tribe continue to take advantage.
I would not be so stupid as to remind them of this problem.
If the other party becomes smarter, he will not be able to take advantage of him in the future.
Haha, now I have a pot and spices.
After returning to the tribe, he asked his family to pick up more useless stones and trade with the other party again.
There are still a lot of commodities in the hands of these fools.
Those things that taste sweet, there are also foods that can be fragrant when boiled in water, as well as small bags of something called pickled mustard, and even white flowers of salt.
Hey, I didn¡¯t expect that you can get these things with those stones.
It seems that the gods must have sent these fools to let the tribe take advantage.
If you and your fellow tribe members don¡¯t seize this opportunity, you will be the biggest fool.
Fortunately, it was impossible for Wu Zhenyu to know the thoughts in the mind of the old man who was smiling flatteringly at him, otherwise he would be so angry that his nose would become crooked.
The elder happily led his men to leave the fortress with satisfaction. Along the way, he kept telling his men that Wu Zhenyu and the others were fools.There was constant laughter.
And when the elders left, Wu Zhenyu also laughed with his men.
"It seems that in this era, it is so easy to make huge profits by doing trade, and it is too easy to make money."
After saying that, he put the gold into a small pocket and put it in his arms.
"He will wait until the transport ship brings the next batch of supplies, and then hand it over to the captain of the transport ship to take it to Jinshan and hand it over to Wang Shan.
After all, he has no authority, so the gold can only be of greatest use if it is given to Wang Shan.
"My lord, this era belongs to us. As long as His Highness works harder and the empire's development remains stable, then there will be no trouble for Europeans in the future."
"Haha, what you said is good, and what you think will definitely succeed."
Wu Zhenyu laughed.
After the natives left the Sydney Fortress, the place was also filled with laughter and laughter. (To be continued.
