Chapter 89 The Legendary Treasure of the Gentleman Country (Part 2)

Zhao Xing didn't say a word, he slowly pulled out the knife. The smooth blade's chrysanthemums shone with silver-white light. The mirror-like blade was in the tropical sunlight, and as Zhao Xing's wrist trembled, it looked like a bright lightning flash passing by the king's eyes.

"This is a 'two-body knife' - do you know what 'two-body knife' is? This is the standard used by Japanese knife makers for knives. Japanese people are cruel by nature. The knife made by a knife maker needs to be inspected. How to check it? Use a corpse. One knife can cut a corpse, which is called a 'one knife'. After cutting through one knife, it can cut off two corpses stacked together, which is called a 'two-body knife'.

Ordinary Japanese swords are worth hundreds of gold in Song State, and the ‘one-doll knife’ can be sold for 1,000 guan. My ‘two-doll knife’ is worth at least 10,000 guan. Where can you pay for this price?”

As King Ma Yi came out, he waved his hand back. A servant came forward and handed him a Song-style brocade bag. King Ma Yi untied the brocade bag and poured out five "gold beads" the size of a pigeon egg.

The only record in Chinese history is that of the size of a pigeon egg was in the Jin Dynasty and owned by Shi Chong, so he caused a murder. However, the king shook his hand and took out five pills.

"Transfer to you", the tongue man translates the king's words.

"Switch!" Zhao Xing handed out the knife in his hand without hesitation, but he did not take the "golden bead" from the king's hand, and turned his face to instruct Liu San: "You take one!"

Liu San rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes full of dazzling "golden beads", and his mouth was dizzy and modest: "How can I be so embarrassed... I got something from the official's goods, how can I be..."

As he was talking, Liu San did not hesitate at all. He took the smallest one in his hand, and then he held the "golden bead" tightly in his palm, and never let go again.

"I don't know", Zhao Xing rolled his eyes at him. Pearl is a light white solidified substance that cannot be stored. Even if worn every day, the pearl will turn black in more than ten years and become brittle in a few years. If it were not worn every day, the pearl would be less moisturizing with sweat, and in less than three to five years, the pearl would fade and lose its original pearlescent.

In a novel, Zhao Xing saw a black-hearted jewelry merchant soaking old pearls with stone carbonic acid to restore the pearls to shine. Then, out of curiosity, he briefly studied the pearls and thus gained some knowledge of pearls.

The "Pearl" in ancient Chinese legends has never been discovered in tombs because of the attribute of the pearl - it cannot be preserved. No matter how brilliant the pearl is, it can only have the glory of this life, so its best use is to exchange for money. If its existence causes disaster, it is not worth owning.

Looking at the remaining four pearls, Zhao Xing hesitated for a long time and took two of them carefully. Facing the king's astonished gaze, he shamelessly explained: "I only took half of them because I need your friendship and help - I need a few assistants to help me build a village to store goods. At the same time, I also hope to go to the nearby island to see the scenery. Please give me a few guides."

Zhao Xing picked up a wooden stick, drew a willow leaf shape on the deck, and then drew a crescent moon, pointing to the two figures and said: "There is no island nearby, which looks like willow leaf, is there a bay, which looks like this crescent moon."

After King Ma Yi got the knife, he couldn't let it go and enjoy it. It was not until the "tongue man" urged him several times that he inserted the knife into the sheath, and enthusiastically called out several followers, and said quarrels.

He wanted to test the knife. After hearing Zhao Xing's reason for the "two knives", he actually wanted to test the knife with a living person. The translator disagreed and explained to the shocked Zhao Xing: "It's not surprising that Ma Yi likes 'human sacrifices'. Every time he pays tribute, he has to use more than a dozen living people to sacrifice. Testing the knife for the king is their glory, and his subordinates will rush to take on the sacrifice."

Seeing Zhao Xing showing a dissatisfied expression, the tongue man continued to explain: "You only took half of the 'golden beads' and asked the king to give you friendship. The king intends to give you a piece of land, five hundred slaves, he is choosing a guide who is familiar with the surrounding waters..."

After a while, several naked Ma Yiren were called to the deck, and they knelt on their knees to kowtow to Zhao Xing. At this time, the "tongue man" explained: "Master, you should take off your shoes and step on their heads with barefoot to show your acceptance of their subordinates. From now on, they will be your slaves."

After Zhao Xing followed what the "Donor Man" said, the two newly acquired slaves climbed to the side of the picture drawn by Zhao Xing and discussed it for a while. The Donor Man translated their words: "They said there are these two islands. This willow leaves is in the southeast direction, larger than the island they are in. It has to sail over three islands, and the fourth island is this Willow leaves.

This moon-like bay is opposite, and it is the largest island nearby. They said there are more than a dozen Ma Yi countries, and they cannot walk in a month. There are some natives on these two islands, without kings. The people on the island use Barange as their wealth. Each Barange feeds 30 to 100 households, and each Barange's leader is called Datu..."

The "tongue man" speaks inaccurately. What he actually wants to say is: the islanders in these two places have not yet formed a national concept. They are just some "Barange Alliances". If one of the Barange ships has a voting right. The more the Barange ships, the greater the owner's rights and the greater the power.

"Luye Island, this name is good. From now on, we will call this island Liuye Island. As for the super large island they said, we will name it in the local language - 'Manila Island', and that bay is called Manila Bay. These five hundred slaves asked them to go to Manila Bay, where they built houses and ports for me..."

After pausing for a while, Zhao Xing seemed to hesitate, but he finally made up his mind to speak.

Before speaking, he was very serious. He selected several armored heads (seaters) from the crew, drove the rest of the crew aside, and then pointed to the willow-shaped island. At that time, in addition to the crew, there was also the "tongue man" Ruan Liu and the immigrant Wang Yuanyu. Three young men from the Cheng tribe of Jiangxia stayed at Chaibang, and four children from Chengjiaao, Jin Buer, Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng's brother Xiao Qi, and Chen Qing's son Chen Buqun were all on the boat and surrounded him to watch.

"This Liuye Island is the 'sky rich and noble' that I promised you... Those Ma Yi people don't understand it. This island is rich in copper, this is a mountain of gold, it is the 'third copper mine in the world'. With it, it is a thousand-year wealth. You can mine for a thousand years in a row - how about it, is this considered 'sky rich and noble'?"

Liu San believed Zhao Xing's words without doubt. He looked at the "tongue man" with caution, and Zhao Xing immediately stopped his attempt to commit crime.

"We need them, we need tongue people to communicate with locals, and Wang Xiucai needs to hire people from locals, and the management department comes from, so they both have to participate."

Ruan Liu and Wang Yuanyu realized that they had just escaped a disaster of killing. They were trembling all over and sweating profusely.

A head of Ar swallowed a few mouthfuls in a row and interjected carefully: "Jinshan? The third in the world? Can I have my Shaowu army in the Song Dynasty..."

Zhao Xing cut off the other party's words: "What I mean by 'the third in the world' is not just referring to the 'the world' of the Song Dynasty, it refers to the 'the world' of the whole world... Do you understand this word? Simply put, this 'the third copper mountain in the world' contains more copper ores than the copper mountain in the entire Song Dynasty! "

More copper than all the copper mountains in the Song Dynasty combined - what is this concept?

Everyone was stunned by Zhao Xing's words!
