Chapter 50

As expected, about half an hour after the group of Yue people left, another messenger arrived at the camp.Unlike the young man before, the one who came this time was an old man, who should have a relatively high status in the village.

"Han people, you won, how much will we have to pay to get back our people?" The old man slowly came to Shi Hui and asked in fluent Qin Dynasty official dialect.

Jiaozhou didn't have a unified language at all, and Chu State occupied it, so Chu State's elegant language was popularized, but the effect was not ideal.Later, Zhao Tuo came here and brought the pre-Qin official dialect. After decades of promotion, most Yue people use this pre-Qin official dialect. It sounds similar to modern Cantonese, or closer to Chaoshan dialect.

Relatively speaking, the official language of the Han Dynasty is the elegant language of Chu State.This kind of official dialect from the Zhou Dynasty has a strange tone of voice, but it is much better than pure elegant dialect. The reason why "Erya" is called Erya is because when the book was written, Yayu was the most mainstream Mandarin in China.

Shi Hui is not used to this thing. If he didn't inherit the memory of his predecessor, it would be like learning another language. At this time, he is very glad that he is a soul wearer, otherwise communication would be a problem.Sometimes I even feel a little envious, envious of those bigwigs who can travel to a world where all the people speak Mandarin.

Elegant language is difficult to learn, while Qin Dynasty official language is relatively easy, so it has the highest degree of promotion. It is not difficult to see this now.

"We only accept gold, of course jade, brass and silver are also acceptable!" Shi Hui directly asked his price, "I need to make sure first, do you have these things in your village?"

"You Han people just like this kind of bright yellow things. Of course we have collected some! We are willing to give them all in exchange for peace between you and us!" The old man said with disgust.

Just like the Spaniards who just stepped into the Americas back then, when they exchanged commodities for gold, it is estimated that the Indians also had this expression at that time.After all, this thing has no meaning to them except that it looks good.

The Yue people's villages are completely bartered. There is no concept of currency, so gold and silver are naturally not used.

"Yes, I have already told your envoy!" Shi Hui nodded, "We are here to build a port, and at the same time build a huge city. We need manpower, you can help us build, In exchange for food, or even other goods. I even welcome you to live down the mountain, our city will give you protection, so that when you sleep at night, you will no longer be afraid of wild beast attacks, and you don’t have to worry about being attacked by hostile villages! Because , we will protect you!"

"The old man only knows that there has never been love without a reason in this world. What do you need us for?" The old man stroked his beard and asked slowly.

"We need you to be naturalized! All the people learn Chinese, and at the same time register as naturalized in the government, and pay a certain tax every year. Don't worry, it is collected according to the proportion of Jiaozhi County. The prefect Shixie has always been friendly to the Yue people and the barbarians!" Shi Hui replied.

"No, no, no, we don't trust you!" The old man shook his head when he heard the words, "You always trick us to the bottom of the mountain with a good voice, and then give us a lot of corvee and ask us to pay unbearable taxes .Finally, when we can’t survive, force us to be your domestic slaves! Our village can be content with itself, and we will not go down the mountain. If you are really friendly to us, then you can live in peace! I believe that some Young people will be interested in going down the mountain to work!"

Preliminary negotiations were not that easy, but it can be seen that at least no negotiations have broken down.It's just a matter of consensus. Obviously, the other party can't believe what a group of Han people, or the old man in front of him, encountered when he was young.

"Well, we have captured 200 of your people here. There are more than [-] injured at the same time. We are treating them. Do you want to take them back for treatment, or stay here? If you stay here, you have to provide them. Food, but also provide two more food in the same proportion as the cost of treating them!" Shi Hui suggested.

"The mountain road is bumpy, so let them stay here? It's just some food, and our clan will pay for it!" The old man agreed without thinking too much about it.

"It's a fat sheep!" Yang Xiong whispered to Jiao Ting, who nodded ignorantly.

"The more delicious something is, the more you have to taste it slowly!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled, and she would let the group of Yue people know that if she doesn't agree now, she might have to pay a higher price in the future to live in the city .

At the end of the negotiation, Shi Hui ordered to let everyone go, and three hundred Yue people were released, and of course their weapons.

In the evening of that day, hundreds of people came down with baskets and baskets of things. Unfortunately, under the setting sun, the yellow color was not so bright.If it is during the day, it is really yellow and golden!

More than 100 baskets were piled up in front of Shi Hui like this, so Jiao Ting subconsciously swallowed.Yang Xiong didn't speak, but his expression was a bit complicated, the corners of Xue Qiang's mouth curled up strangely, and Shangguan Wan'er showed a charming smile.

Shi Yuan was even more stunned, pointing at the gold in the hundred baskets, he was speechless.This Yue people's village obviously has certain smelting skills, and the gold mines have been purified, and this time all the gold that was moved out was like this.

"There must be gold mines nearby!" Shi Hui immediately realized this, and then thought: If all these gold mines can be mined, how many units of gold will it cost?
The mainstream currency of Dahan is not gold. Gold is only used between merchants for settlement of bulk goods.The demand is small, even if a part is collected and entered into the resource interface, it will not cause waste.On the contrary, whether it is used to upgrade buildings, upgrade technology, or the evil pumping...ahem...recruiting talents, you need to use gold units.

"Brother Yuan!" Shi Hui finally endured the greed in his heart and called Shi Yuan over, "Report the achievements of the soldiers this time, and then distribute the rewards! Leave the rest to me, and he will use it for others." !"

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to glance at the group of system soldiers, Shi Yuan understood and quickly agreed.Seriously, if it wasn't for the 1000 of them who came from behind and killed the enemy army in chaos this time, the 1000 of them fighting each other in the jungle would not have taken advantage at all. There is a big price to pay.

As far as the results at this stage are concerned, even if all the gold is given away, Shi Yuan thinks it is still very cost-effective.Taking a step back, although this thing is valuable, it is indeed not very valuable in Jiaozhou, so it is a good thing to spend it.

Shi Hui was also polite, and first appointed Yang Xiong as the army Sima to command the thousand elite soldiers.Then Xue Qiang was promoted to command the original 1000 people, and the last [-] personal guards continued to be commanded by Shi Yuan, and Jiao Ting was under his command.

After distributing the necessary bounties, Shi Hui found a deserted corner and collected all the gold.Opening the resource interface again, he suddenly found that after the gold unit soared from 2100 to 34100 units of gold, the corners of his mouth almost turned up to his ears.

"With so much money, do you want to send it again? No way, it's already changed?" He focused on the 'banquet' option of the 'restaurant', and suddenly felt the urge to send it away.

 High-level talents are about to appear, high-energy ahead...but don’t expect to see them today (bracket laugh)
