Chapter 2710: Insist on Being Civilized
Half an hour later, two men and two women each had a sling bottle. There were no major problems. They were dehydrated and exhausted.
Their wooden boat was hauled aboard the yacht and placed on the deck for people to visit.
A big tree was cut down and the bottom of the boat was trimmed and the top was hollowed out.
The boat is more than two meters in diameter and eleven meters long. It is a cypress tree, a tree that can grow very large.
There was a water bladder made of leather on the boat, but it had long been out of water.
There is another place on the boat with a hole about ten centimeters in diameter. There is a part of the broken wood in the hole.
According to analysis, it was probably the mast that was inserted, but the mast was broken. That is, this is a sail-oar canoe.
The space inside the boat should be able to accommodate nine to ten people.
There are currently four people, two men and two women. The man's status is obviously lower than the two women, and one of the women has the highest status.
It can be seen from the exchanges between the two parties. For example, when four small plates of watermelon were delivered, Qingdai ate a piece first to demonstrate, and the three of them watched the woman eat it.
If the woman says something, only three people can eat. Definitely not a woman testing drugs.
Li Yi gestured, and four people in wheelchairs were pushed to the side of the ship. They went down the ladder on the cruise ship and pushed it up, and the ladder retracted.
Arriving on the deck, the four people looked around. Compared to their ship, this one was obviously bigger, right?
The little robot came over, and graphics and text appeared on the screen on its head. It collected the local languages and texts in Mexico, plus the parts that Li Yi had deciphered.
After data analysis, try to communicate with the other party through text.
The woman with the highest status frowned when she saw the text, and then seemed to be thinking after seeing the figures representing the actions of the characters and the rising and setting of the sun.
Then she looked around again, and Li Yi next to her said: "Sand, push over a sandbox for children to play with."
Wheelchairs go in first, it's windy and sunny outside.
Entering the cabin, it is air-conditioned and comfortable.
Li Yi picked up the unfinished meat skewers and beer and ate and drank next to them. The four of them looked at the meat skewers, recognized them, smelled them, and found them delicious.
"Your current gastrointestinal tract...eat, eat, eat less. If you don't want to die, eat less."
Li Yi considered the other party's physical condition and gave him food based on etiquette.
If you don't give it, the other person will think your food is precious and won't give it to you.
A tray of meat skewers was placed on the small table in front of the four people, with three people looking at each other.
The woman spoke directly this time, and picked up a string of dicks to imitate Li Yi.
The three of them each took a bunch and ate it with happy expressions on their faces.
The children pushed a small sand tray over, the woman ate a bunch of them, and then used the stick to write on the sand.
After writing more than a hundred words, the little robot said: "It can't be translated. Only one-third of the words can be compared with the content."
"Give her pictures, fire, let her write, water, let her write, wait until they are in better health."
Li Yi gave up communicating directly with words and decided to start with language, just like other indigenous people did when they came into contact.
Once you understand the meaning of the language, writing becomes easier.
Others nodded, it made sense, why bother writing it right away.
The kitchen brought cornmeal porridge. This is the best thing, and it is a daily staple food.
The four of them ate slowly, as if they knew they couldn't eat too hastily due to their current physical condition.
Li Yi and others returned to their respective positions, leaving room for the four people to communicate, and the little robot did not leave.
As they ate and talked, the surrounding monitoring and sound collection systems worked to record their movements, expressions, and languages.
"Brother Yi, where we want to go, do women have a high status?" Li Longji did not look at the four people.
"Generally no, it is not a feminist social system, unless some tribes are special, such as Wu Zetian's time."
Li Yi shook his head and found no such situation from the information.
But if something goes wrong, a woman will seize power, be beaten by others, and run away.
After speaking, he added: "There are female priests, who are small in number but powerful. They are responsible for teaching the common people when to plant crops, how to build cities, pray to gods, handle sacrifices, and have the tradition of taking human sacrifices.
Commoners and slaves are absolutely not qualified to learn writing. In my opinion, women belong to priests. If they are nobles, as a woman, her status will not be too high. "
"Monks from Tianzhu?" Li Chengqi found a comparison. In the Tang Dynasty, the status of the people used in sacrifices was not high.
"Our ancient priests are like this. Now their priests mainly control time.
The movement of the stars, the distance of the sun and the moon from the earth, and various problems that occur on the sun.
The seasons change, the amount of rainfall, so you know how to farm, it's over when there's a drought.
They are keen on building temples and cities. Like us, they like jade articles and use them as funerary objects.
As for the characters, they are all hieroglyphics, including the pictures on some utensils. Our tripod is similar to the pictures on people's furniture.
From a racial point of view, they are almost the same, compared to white-skinned and dark-skinned people..."
Li Yi tried his best to introduce it, which was also the basis for him to deceive the Mayans into becoming Tang people in the future.
What he said made both Li Longji and Li Chengqi believe it. A comparison picture appeared on the screen of the small robot next to them. No matter how you look at it, they think it makes sense.
"I don't know if these are the survivors who got separated again. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net" Li Longji suddenly felt sentimental.
Li Yi: "..."
"Brother Yi, think of a way." Li Chengqi believed that the other party should be turned into one of his own.
"Now they are fighting each other. Some tribes have perished, and some have split up. Knowing the relationship between their wars will make them willing to join the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yi has the same idea. What is the difference between direct war occupation and those other people?
If the spread of disease killed many Indians, then is the Indian massacre fake?
Only by fooling others and making them believe that both sides are from the same place, the rest will be easy.
We can coexist peacefully! Then buy and sell slaves and exchange goods.
The Tang Dynasty sells things to the other side, and the other side sells slaves to the Tang Dynasty. The other side cannot farm and get enough food without slaves, and the Tang Dynasty does not sell them food.
"Big brother, third brother, they like jade. There is jade locally. We can mine it, carve it beautifully, and sell it to them.
There are other things, especially silk, which is hard currency everywhere, even in the Tang Dynasty.
They only have pottery, not porcelain, and the temperature required to burn porcelain is too high.
If they can burn porcelain, they will start to use it in a large number of metal smelting.
When they occasionally burn pottery, they add metal ore, and then burn out metal beads, which are used as ornaments."
Li Yi thought of another situation. The other party's smelting technology is low, not as good as that in Africa. At least they can get molten iron.
"Give them weapons, what will they do? Invade other tribes?"
Li Longji saw that Li Yi was unwilling to kill people himself, so he changed the way and sent weapons to the other party to kill them himself.
Slave slaves were obtained while killing, and slaves were purchased. To be continued
