Of course, the real owner of this Ma Family Castle is Marin. The future owner is Malio Mario Conte, who is still sipping breasts, who is just the manager appointed by the Ma Family. After all, Ma Lin has no time to come here, and Ma is still young.

While cooking lunch, the people of Jilong Village were stunned by Kong Tai's methods. Of course, it was not that Kong Tai's cooking skills were amazing, but the cooking tools...

What tool? Kong Tai took out 10 solar stoves made of white iron sheets...

The silver-shining white iron sheet shone brightly on the eyes of the people in Jilong Village. Liu Laogen pointed to the sun stoves and asked stammeringly:

"King... Lord Kong, all these... are silver?"

Liu Laogen thought Kong Tai was here to show off his wealth, so he threw ten silver umbrellas under the sun, and it looked so rich...

Kong Tai laughed and said:

"It's not silver, it's a tin-plated tin sheet!" Kong Tai was actually deceived. In order to keep it secret, Marin did not let people know about zinc. To keep it secret, he said that the tin-plated tin sheet was tin-plated. Therefore, Kong Tai didn't know that the tin-plated tin sheet was galvanized. However, tin-plated and galvanized appearances are very similar, and it is difficult for everyone to distinguish.

Liu Laogen sighed and said:

"I thought it was made of silver!"

Kong Tai laughed and said:

"It's nothing, it's just a cooking thing, it's not a rare thing."

"Burning rice?" Liu Laogen had no brains. Can this silver-shining inverted umbrella cook?

Soon, he saw that the Beihai Kingdom sailor put the dark pot on the bottom on the bracket. Then, the white iron umbrella was turned and faced with the sun.

"Don't you make a fire?" Liu Laogen couldn't understand.

"No, the sun shines on the soup in the pot and it will be cooked!"

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, the broth in the pot began to boil. The meat in the pot was exchanged for venison meat from Kong Taishu, led by the translator of Jilong Village, with salt and the Pingpu natives on the land.

"You can cook meat without making fire! Is this a magic trick?" Liu Laogen was so scared that he couldn't stand steadily - Oh my god, this is meeting a great immortal...

"It's not a fairy tactic, it's just a trick..." Kong Tai explained lightly, pretending to be a comparison invisibly.

In fact, Kong Tai didn't understand physics, so he didn't know how to explain the principle of the solar stove. So he just fooled it. Speaking of which, Kong Tai was surprised when he first saw the solar stove.

This ambiguous explanation made Liu Laogen and other villagers of Jilong Village shocked him. In their eyes, these foreigners could do magic! They couldn't afford to offend, they couldn't afford to offend...

Even many villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sun stove, as if they were worshiping a great immortal...

Among the villagers, these sun stoves are not ordinary stoves, but legendary magic weapons!

After hearing the villagers' words, Kong Tai was stunned. But then, he suddenly came up with a good idea...

...

Afterwards, Kong Tai solemnly told (spoofed) the villagers of Jilong Village that these 10 sun stoves are indeed magic weapons, and were made by their great Duke Malin, so as to facilitate them to make fires and cook on the sea. After all, it is inconvenient to make fires and cook on wooden boats...

Then, in the eyes of the villagers of Jilong Village, Malin officially upgraded from a boss to a big immortal, and was nicknamed "Ma Daxian"...

When drinking venison soup, almost all the villagers in Jilong Village drink soup with a pious mood. In their eyes, the venison soup made with magic weapons is the fairy soup...

From then on, in the shrines worshipped by the villagers of Jilong Village, there were more tablets of Malin's "Ma Daxian", which were alongside Buddha, Sanqing and Mazu...

...

Kong Tai seemed to be addicted to fooling people. Next, he planned to fool the Pingpu natives on the shore...

So, through the translation of Jilong Village, he invited several indigenous leaders of the Pingpu people near the mouth of the Keelung River to come to the banquet.

In front of several indigenous leaders, Kong Tai once again performed the "miracle" of using the sun stove to make soup. In order to fool several indigenous leaders, Kong Tai pretended to behave and recited a few spells and made a gesture of "exercise"...

Moreover, this time, what is cooked in the pot is not the broth, but the sea water...

After Kong Tai finished reciting a large passage of German Bible, the sea water in the pot (it has been condensed once before) turned into white sea salt...

After that, Kong Tai also said seriously to the indigenous leaders:

"That's how salt comes from everyone!"

...

Several indigenous leaders of the Pingpu tribe were shocked - Damn, am I dreaming? I actually saw the spell...

That "master" named Kong Tai really knows magic, but he actually used "magic tools" to turn the sea water into salt in front of them...

Then, several indigenous leaders bowed and jumped to the 10 silver-shining sun stoves, with a feverish expression...

...

At this time, Liu Laogen, who was the middleman, had a stomachache. Of course, he didn't dare to laugh. Although he knew that Kong Tai was fooling the natives, the magical thing like the sun stove could be cooked without making fire can be done. Out of awe of the "magic weapon", Liu Laogen held back his smile...

In fact, Liu Laogen and other Han people must know how to cook salt. But the Pingpu natives on the land don’t know. Of course, some people know it, and it was also told by the Han people. For example, some indigenous villages of the Pingpu natives in Tainan have mastered the salt boiling technology. However, Keelung is a remote area, and the local natives have few contacts with Han people and have no knowledge.

Moreover, the villagers of Jilong Village are not stupid. They relied on boiling salt and exchanged salt and the Pingpu natives on the land for resources such as venison, deer skin and wood. How could they tell them the secret of boiling salt?

This time, Kong Tai told the indigenous leaders about the process of boiling salt. However, the miracle of the sun stove being able to boil water without making fire scared the indigenous chiefs, and they naturally ignored the details that the sea water could boil salt.

In the eyes of those chiefs, salt was actually made by the immortal using magic weapons. It was so high-end, no wonder it was expensive...

Afterwards, Kong Tai "corneredly" had a friendly exchange with several indigenous chiefs. However, no matter how friendly Kong Tai was, the indigenous leaders who were shocked were a little nervous. After all, Kong Tai was a ruthless man who used the "magic weapon" method in front of them... Oh no, it was an immortal... How dare they act rashly in the face of the superior immortal?

Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Kong Tai finally showed his trump card - he wanted to buy the land at the mouth of Keelung River. The bargaining chips he purchased were the salt produced by the "magic weapon"...

In addition, Kongtai also gave several excellent hunting bows made by European craftsmen and several barrels of arrows. With these excellent bows and arrows, it was more convenient for these indigenous people to hunt sika deer.

It should be pointed out that in this era of Tai Island, it was a primeval forest area with a very low level of development. Although the local Pingpu people also had agriculture, their output was very low. Because they lacked agricultural technology, and there were no oxen and iron farm tools.

Therefore, the food source of local indigenous people depends largely on hunting. Sika deer is the most important prey. It is estimated that in this era, there were millions of sika deer in the jungle of Taiwan. The indigenous people had poor hunting methods and mainly rely on javelins and earthen bows and arrows to hunt. However, the javelin standard is very poor, and the power and accuracy of earthen bows and arrows are relatively poor. Therefore, although there are many sika deer in the local area, the indigenous people do not hunt much. Kong Tai gave them excellent bows and arrows, which can allow them to hunt more sika deer...

...

Perhaps it was shocked by the "powerful magic weapon" of the Sun stove. After several indigenous chiefs discussed, they finally agreed to sell the land along the river several square kilometers of the east bank of the Keelung River estuary on the south side of Heping Island to Kongtai. The villages there would have been moved away, and the price of Kongtai paid was 500 kilograms of salt and those bows and arrows. At the same time, Kongtai needed to promise that it would continue to sell salt to those indigenous villages in the future...

Kong Tai almost did not regard the requirements of these indigenous villages as a condition. Why? He can now take 500 kilograms of salt from the ship.

Of course, it would be too hasty to pay 500 kilograms of salt so quickly, and maybe the indigenous chiefs would repent. So, after reaching an agreement with them, Kong Tai said that he would need to "do his best" every day in the next days and use those magical tools to make salt. Therefore, it would take half a month to trade 500 kilograms of salt...

Several indigenous chiefs who were fooled and lame returned happily, and Kong Tai was even more happy than them. Why? Because Marin said that the most troublesome thing about colonization is that it is difficult to gain a foothold. If you are attacked by indigenous people just after you land, it is very troublesome. Especially in places like Tai Island where jungle is densely packed. Even if you want to fight back against those indigenous people, the indigenous people hide in the forest, you have no way to do anything.

Therefore, now you can gain a foothold on land and build a castle, and then you can plan more land. The most difficult thing is to safely go through the initial stage and complete the construction of the castle on land. Because, during this period, the natives may attack you. And if you are attacked before the castle is completed, it will be difficult to resist.

Now, with 500 kilograms of salt and a few bows, he has moved to a large area of ​​land at the mouth of the Keelung River. How could he be unhappy?

Liu Laogen was also very happy because the area on the east bank of the Keelung River estuary is very suitable for agriculture. There are too many stones on the Peace Island, making it difficult to reclaim many fertile fields. The area on the east bank of the Keelung River estuary is an alluvial plain, which is very suitable for agriculture at first glance. Therefore, Liu Laogen applied to land on the farming site, and Kong Tai agreed, and the two sides hit it off.

After all, Kong Tai is active on Taiwan and cannot rely on local food to transport food. It is 100,800 miles away from the local area. It is best to be able to produce local food. And colonists such as Kong Tai will not go to farm, so letting the villagers of Jilong Village farm and buy food from them at that time is the best choice.
