The Caribbeans are a branch of the indigenous ethnic group in Central America, living along the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, as well as on islands.

The Caribbean Sea, known to people in later generations, was named after the Caribbeans.

Of course, the Caribbeans are not as unbearable as Chibucha Business Travel says.

The main reason is that the Caribbean and the Chibucha territories are highly overlapping, and they are both indigenous peoples living in later generations of Panama, Colombia, and the coastal areas of Venezuela. The beliefs advocated by the two ethnic groups are very different, so wars often break out.

In fact, although some of the Indians were extremely primitive and barbaric, they were very simple.

To put it bluntly, it is just a stubborn and arbitrary. If you are friendly to me, then I will hug you with the most sincere heart. If you are hostile to me, then you will be done and will never stop until you die.

Whether it is the Mayans, Incas, including Aztecs, Chibchas and Caribbeans, they are both kind to their guests and the cruelty of using living people to sacrifice and killing a tribe. It doesn’t matter who is good or bad.

Zhao Wei still followed the Han people's principles of dealing with things and was kind to others. At least until Xinyashan built a good city and had certain defensive capabilities, he did not consider making friends with the Indians.

Of course, if he doesn't provoke others, but others come to provoke him, then Your Highness Ning wouldn't mind taking some hard work to build Xinyashan.

You know, although he has more than 2,000 people, he is still short of staff.

After introduction, the leader of this business trip was named Manny Arke, who was the eldest son of the tribe chief and was responsible for the business route to Maya.

Zhao Wei invited Arke into the camp and enthusiastically delivered food to Central Plains.

Alk and Xuetou were no different from this at the beginning. They were full of curiosity about food and the utensils that contained food.

In fact, everything here, everyone is different from his tribe, makes him curious.

Naturally, during the meal, he asked where Zhao Wei and his tribe members came from.

Zhao Wei had nothing to hide about this and said bluntly: "We come from the other side of the sea, another distant continent. Because of the war, we had to abandon our homeland and cross the ocean to come here."

When Arke heard this, he showed a look of sympathy.

"Poor foreigner, I sympathize with your experience. In fact, we, the people of Qibucha, are also children who leave home."

Afterwards, Alk told Zhao Wei about the history of Chibucha. Their ancestors were a ethnic group named Mochika, the most powerful kingdom on this continent.

Unfortunately, he lost the blessing of God and split into two branches, one named Qimu and the other is Qibucha.

And in the years that have been growing, the powerful Qibucha has been divided into nine small kingdoms, and the glory of the past will no longer be seen.

Zhao Wei didn't understand Qibucha's words, but he had a blood-headed translation and listened with relish.

The ethnic group of the Qibucha people in front of us also experienced the same decline as the Song Dynasty, but there were also differences.

From Alk's words, Zhao Wei could hear that the Qibucha people had accepted this decline and were content with division.

But the Song Dynasty was different. The Song people kept fighting, including those who escaped, never forgot their hometown.

The conversation with Arke was very pleasant, and Zhao Wei also learned a lot of details about Maya, Chibcha and the Caribbeans.

Finally, Alk looked at the mountains of dry wood piled up by the river, and kindly reminded Zhao Wei: "Dear friends, you have missed the opportunity to build a camp. It is best to wait until the rainy season is over before building a wooden house."

Zhao Wei was puzzled, the rainy season? He asked: "When will the rainy season come?"

Arke lowered his head and calculated, and said, "It will be rainy season after about 7 Unas."

Zhao Wei: ""

Una is a Mayan calendar unit and is widely used by Indian tribes in Central America. One Una is 1 month.

However, since the Mayan calendar has 18 months a year, 1 Una only has 20 gold (days).

In this way, what Arke mentioned is about four months later.

This made Zhao Wei feel a little amused. How could he not build a house in four months? Who do you look down on?

He silently declined Arke's suggestion.

In this regard, Arke felt that these strangers were a little ungrateful.

Because in his opinion, with so much wood and a tribal camp with a population of thousands, it would take at least more than a year to build the simplest Qibucha wooden house, which would be impossible before the rainy season.

These strangers are obviously a little arrogant.

In Arke's heart, the pride of the people of Qibucha. No matter how novel everything you see, he just thinks it is a tribe as excellent as Qibucha.

He did not realize at all that the relationship between him and the Song Dynasty was no longer a developed and backward relationship, but a generation gap between civilization.

I can't understand it even more. Since ancient times, the Han people who have been "infrastructure madman" have been obsessed with building houses and building things.

This is somewhat similar to the late Qing Dynasty hundreds of years later.

Of course, Arke wouldn't say much.

Moreover, considering Zhao Wei's warm hospitality and the dinner was very delicious, Arke suggested to Zhao Wei:

After about two Unas, his caravan would return from Maya and pass by here.

At that time, if Zhao Wei changes his mind, he very much welcomes Zhao Wei to take his "tribe" to Qibucha for the rainy season temporarily.

Of course, this kind of help is not free. Zhao Wei needs to pay a certain amount of reward, preferably a white "ceramic bowl".

After hearing this, Zhao Wei certainly would not expose the cleverness of such a businessman, so he nodded in agreement. He also said that when Arke came back, he would definitely ask him to pay for the real Dasong delicacies.

The next day, he sent Alk away, and Zhao Wei called Xuetou and Taoist Master Wang Sheng to his side.

"Why did you bring some corn back? Do they have no gold and silver?"

Wang Shengdao: "There are gold, silver, and there are a lot of them. But, I won't exchange it for us."

Zhao Wei glared: "Why?"

Xuetou continued in half-baked Chinese: "Because gold is the sweat of the sun in Qibucha people's eyes, and silver is the tears of the moon. They are all extremely sacred existences, and only the noblest Qibucha people can trade items with gold and silver."

OK, there are so many rules.

Simply put, gold is the privilege of the Qibucha nobles, which can only be used by the nobles, and Zhao Wei's level is not enough.

"This is still difficult!" Zhao Wei frowned, a little in trouble.

The reason why he was eager to collect gold and silver was that America was too far away from the Song Dynasty, so far that he didn't know how to go back.

If one day counterattack is returned, and such a long journey will cost a huge price to transport anything back.

Will it be that when the war is fought and transporting corn and potatoes back? It is obviously not very cost-effective.

Nothing is more cost-effective than real money and silver, and nothing that cannot be bought with real money and silver.

Xuetou saw Zhao Wei frowning, and then frowned.

"Master, if you really want the gold and silver of Qibucha, then the Bloodhead is willing to lead the slaves to loot their city-state, and there will naturally be gold and silver."

Zhao Wei rolled his eyes and stared at the bloody head, "Have you been bitten by someone's ears or your brain?"

"First, don't call the master again, we will have no slaves in the Song Dynasty!"

"Secondly, those thousand natives are not slaves. They are good men like you. How many times have you asked me to say it?"

"Third, can you stop fighting and killing every time? Why do you need to do something that can be done with your brain? You have to learn from your brother and be a savage with high IQ. Do you understand?"

"But" the blood-headed man was cold, "What is high IQ?"

"Just use your brain more and do less!"

"But, Bloodheads need to fight to win honor."

Zhao Wei: ""

There is no help. Not only is this guy stupid, but he is not smart enough.

I was too lazy to argue with him, thinking about how to get the gold.

However, Wang Sheng had some thoughts, "Actually, it's not difficult."

"Tell me!"

"The gold of the Qibucha people is all sand gold, and it is taken out of the sand of the river that they regard as the Divine River."

"Oh!?" Zhao Wei's eyes lit up and he exchanged glances with Wang Sheng.

If there is sand gold, it means there is a gold mine upstream. The reserves of gold mines are much more than sifted from the sand!

"The Taoist priest means that the people of Qibucha can only rush gold from the river, but cannot mine gold mines?"

Wang Sheng nodded, "Yes, and"

“And what?”

"I have seen it. Their bronze ware is also very simple, with only cooked copper, which is extremely soft and brittle. When the gold mine is buried deeper, they have no way to do anything."

"I understand!" Zhao Wei slapped his thigh, "He can't pick it, we can pick it!"

A longing appeared in his eyes, "I said it earlier, I wanted to get Arke back."

Well, that is to say. With the Indian nature of the urinary nature, even if the person is called back, Arke will not immediately agree to conduct a gold transaction with Zhao Wei.

Because, if you are not noble enough in other people's eyes, it is useless to hold a knife on your neck.

Then how could Arke think that the Song Dynasty is very noble and worthy of possessing gold?

This is a question worth thinking about

Two months later, Xinya Mountain has become a different scene.
