Chapter 1322 Business Compliments
During this period, the earth was unified everywhere, and it was also a great geographical discovery. Humans measured the length of the continent through the pace of the army and used the eyes of the army to understand other civilizations. The limit of human vision was also the limit of the army.
Whether it was the Macedonian Empire led by Alexander the Great, the rising Rome, the Maurya Dynasty in India, or even the Qin army.
The human history of the next thousand years will remember this great memory, and people from all walks of life will be influenced by these great people, even if the industrial revolution is completed.
So in such a great era, a little bit of manipulation will change the future of the world beyond recognition.
For example, on the American continent, a Mayan received a gift from the Qin. He held up the sword high and promised to the sky that he would protect this weapon that was not available on the American continent with his life.
Cai He looked at Yica's solemn look and thought to himself that people on this continent would not have seen ironware before, right?
The Qin Dynasty in this world has amazing forging technology. There is a "Sword Book" circulating in the Qin Dynasty that ranks the world's famous swords. The top ten are called the "Ten Famous Swords". In addition, there are famous swords such as the "Eight Swords of the King of Yue". It can be seen that the Qin Dynasty is very powerful in sword forging.
The Mayans on the American continent are still using stone tools. The gap between the times is too big. Now that Ica has iron tools, he may become a king who will go down in history. The Qin-style iron sword in his hand may also be endowed with countless mythological colors.
But so far, Ica only wants to use this sword to hunt more prey: "You are our tribe's eternal friend."
Cai He thought that a sword in exchange for the friendship of a tribe is really worth it. Cai He also saw the things that Ica brought for the transaction, including animal fur and unfamiliar plants, including corn.
Cai He didn't know what it was, so he didn't plan to take it back and gave it all to Cai He. Cai He asked the soldiers to sort and collect them, and proposed to let Ica be a guide to see the big city of Maya.
The Clairvoyant and the Wind-eared have seen that the Mayan cities are large in scale, mostly made of stone as building materials. There are tall pyramid-shaped buildings in the center of the city, and the residents live around the pyramids. The city is messy, but it has its merits.
Now that we have arrived in the New World, we naturally have to see it.
Yicha was very surprised why the Qin people could communicate with him the second time he came. He also knew that the Qin people came from the other side of the sea. Yicha didn't know what the other side of the sea looked like. It must be very rich because the Qin people had too many good things that he didn't know.
Yicha didn't refuse the invitation of these people. He could also take these people to his tribe on the way. Maybe the women in the tribe would be favored. If he could leave the Qin people's seeds, it would definitely make his tribe stronger.
Cai He naturally didn't know Yicha's seed-borrowing plan. Seeing that the other party agreed, he immediately promised to give Yicha a sword after returning. Anyway, there were extra weapons.
It's just that it's really difficult to enter the rainforest. The passage can't be called a road at all, let alone bring the goods for trading. A dozen soldiers couldn't carry too many things on their shoulders and hands.
After walking for several days, Cai He was fine with his inner strength, but the other soldiers looked nothing like savages. The rain forest was full of messy branches, catching hair and clothes.
No matter how neatly dressed you are, you will be messed up after walking a few steps in the rain forest. It is better to learn from Yica and not wear clothes.
And they just arrived at Yica's tribe. If Yica was alone, it would not take so much time, but the Qin soldiers were not good at walking in the rain forest, and they wasted time walking and stopping.
As soon as Yica came back, he asked the women in the tribe to come out to meet the guests, which scared the Qin people, because they didn't expect the customs in this place to be so open, and the women actually exposed their breasts, and they shouted that they couldn't stand it.
Most of the fleet were men, and there were only a few maids on the three ships, and they couldn't move. Now seeing such a powerful picture, it is really hard to control yourself. Although the skin of those women is very dirty, they are not ugly, especially the young female savages, who are simply tempting people to commit crimes.
Cai He immediately noticed that his subordinates were staring at him. Now he knew why Zhang San often stared blankly after he had the clairvoyance. It turned out that the women in this place were so bold that they stunned him.
Cai He had been in the palace before, so he naturally understood the affairs between men and women. He could even be said to be self-taught. Although he could not be humane, he understood his subordinates.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Cai He decided to open a brothel on the ship, otherwise there was still a long way to go and something might happen. Yicha had already said that the female slaves in this place could also be traded, and they could go to the big city-states to exchange some female savages.
Fortunately, there was no superstition that it was unlucky for women to go on board in this era.
Cai He saw Yicha deliberately calling out all the women in the tribe, and heard him say that he could pick any one, so he roughly knew that Yicha was going to borrow seeds. He had heard that some Xiongnu tribes in the north also had this custom, and he would not hinder his subordinates. If they were willing, they could go.
Not everyone could accept female savages. Several soldiers really had obstacles and did not go on.
Yicha was very satisfied with the result. Next year, their tribe will have descendants of the Qin people, and things will definitely get better.
After two days of rest in the tribe, he listened to Qianlier's report on the fleet, and there was basically no problem. Cai He entrusted the captain of the second ship to command the work, and he was very responsible.
There are too many trees in this place, and you can't ride horses or use carriages. Cai He didn't know that there were no wheels in this place, so there was no such thing as a carriage.
As for horses, there may be some, but horses are not domesticated livestock but prey. They have been over-hunted and I don't know if they are extinct.
After a few days, they finally arrived at the big city-state. The Qin people immediately attracted attention when they appeared.
Yica was a little scared, because the big city-state did things unreasonably and might capture them as slaves.
There were already many corn fields outside the city. Cai He knew that there were farmers in the big city, and not all of them were hunters.
A group of strange people came, and the news quickly reached the ears of the city lord.
The Qin people from the other side of the sea immediately became guests of honor, and all the prominent Mayans in the city came to join in the fun.
Cai He solemnly presented the gift from the King of Qin - a tripod. A small bronze tripod, with "Respectfully presented by the First Emperor of the Qin Empire" engraved on the outside, and the great achievements of the First Emperor in unifying the six countries and standardizing the wheels and writing on the same books and writing on the inside. Although there are many city-states here, it is obviously impossible for Cai He to visit them one by one, so let's just treat this city as the representative of the American continent.
The city lord was also very tactful and exchanged gifts, a golden plate engraved with the Mayan calendar. The world has 365 days, a very accurate calendar.
Cai He historically completed the world's first trans-Pacific "commercial exchange", and both sides praised each other's gifts.
Then it was a trade. Qin's silk and porcelain were indeed the best-selling products. The Mayans were crazy about them and took out cocoa beans, corn, and alpacas for trading.
Of course, Cai He did not forget the welfare of the crew and exchanged more than 20 female slaves.
