Chapter 737 Jinshou Peninsula

The imperial fleet was temporarily repaired at the estuary of the Safflower Valley, and the Safflower Valley tribe, including the surrounding warriors attached to its lower tribes, was recruited, and a total of more than 200 people were used to make up for the losses caused by the storm.

And Asha also placed an order with the Safflower Valley Tribe, and exchanged many commodities and materials purchased in the trading city-state with the Safflower Valley Tribe.

The tribesmen on the Midsummer Islands are actually not very interested in gold coins. On the contrary, they are quite curious about the outside world, especially the handmade carpets from Mill, hand-fired glassware, exquisite silverware, lace, wool , dragon pepper and so on.

These are actually the reasons why Asha stays for a period of time wherever she goes. In addition to purchasing some necessary supplies, the fleet also buys some local specialties and brings them to the next city-state for sale.

The basic operation of the caravan is so simple. As long as you sell things from one place to another, of course, the premise is that the place you bring to is not also rich in this kind of things, then the goods will be smashed into your hands.

And Asha also knew that this trip could not be completely relied on to rob houses in exchange for supplies, so she made plans in advance and operated it in the way of a caravan.

This is also an unknown adventure for her, after all, she has not done any business, but fortunately Asha bet right, the chiefs of the Midsummer Islands like these goods from the outside world, on the contrary, gold coins are not very interested.

Because the mineral resources on the Midsummer Islands are very rich, but the communication with the outside world is relatively poor, even if a fleet comes here, the quantity of goods brought is very small.

And most of these fleets have the idea of ​​exploiting the natives, selling many cheap commodities for sky-high prices, in exchange for gold coins that the natives can't spend and local specialties of the Midsummer Islands.

However, the goods brought by Asha were extremely rich, and the chiefs of the Safflower Valley Tribe were dazzled, and the chiefs of other small tribes who were attached to the Safflower Valley Tribe also rushed over.

In the end, with a wave of his hand, the chieftain exchanged ten exquisite Mill handmade carpets, some glass utensils and two jars of fire dragon peppers for a thousand golden heart wood longbows.

After that, they did what they said, and the laborers in the indigenous tribes had nothing to do other than hunting, fishing and picking wild fruits on weekdays.

Therefore, under the initiative of the chief, a large amount of golden heartwood was cut down on the Jinshou Peninsula to make golden heartwood longbow.

For the indigenous chiefs of the Midsummer Islands, these golden heart woods are as much as they are bought for nothing, so they don't feel that they are at a loss, but they make a lot of money.

And the craftsmanship and time cost of making a longbow are not from him, he only needs to order the people to work and it is enough.

He claimed that anyone who dared to disobey his words would be punished by the gods. The chief's former occupation was a sacrifice in the tribe, so he did not have any flaws in bluffing people, and let this group of people work obediently.

The prosperous work in the Safflower Valley tribe, because the number of craftsmen is large enough, it took about half a month to build a thousand golden heart wood longbow.

…

And Asha also led people to run around the Jinshou Peninsula in the name of visiting.

But this group of people from the Red Flower Valley tribe who were logging saw that these outsiders didn't look like they were visiting at all. Instead, they looked like they were looking for something. They carried shovels and other tools with them, constantly searching on the hillsides, gravel, and river beaches. what.

The aborigines of the tribe told their chiefs about this, and the chiefs heard about him and doubted him, but felt that they were a little curious when they came to the Midsummer Islands for the first time, so they went with them.

Asha and the others are not actually visiting, but looking for something.

At the tribe's banquet, she heard the tribal chief casually say that the Jinshou Peninsula was named after a person who picked up a piece of gold the size of a human head.

There is no doubt that the listener has a heart.

Asha suspects that there are large reserves of gold mines on the Jinshou Peninsula. She has lived in the Iron Islands since she was a child. Although there are no gold mines on the Iron Islands, it has a large amount of iron ore, so Asha is all too familiar with minerals.

This kind of unrefined gold can be seen, unless someone deliberately placed it here, or there is a large gold mine underground here.

But think about it, although people on the Midsummer Islands don't care too much about gold coins, after all, this is the only currency in circulation on the Midsummer Islands. In addition to the most common exchange of things, people trade gold coins for things.

Because the natives of Midsummer Islands know that these gold coins cannot be eaten or drunk, but those outsiders like it. They see the gold coins one by one as if they saw their own parents. These gold coins can be collected and exchanged with people outside. , so gold coins also have a certain value on the Midsummer Islands.

So who would throw a human head-sized piece of gold on the ground? Asha didn't believe it.

Therefore, only one reason can be explained. There may be a gold mine on the Jinshou Peninsula!

This bold guess made Asha's heart beat faster. What is the concept of gold mine? That's what means sustainable wealth for a long time, means sustainable pie.

The Westside is so rich, it is said that Tywin Lannister shit is gold, why? Isn't it just relying on the gold mines in the Western Region?

If there really is a gold mine here, plus the reason why Asha's uncle Victarion encouraged her.

She can really suddenly turn her face and knock down an island, where she has declared herself a king.

Grand Duchess of Midsummer Islands? Or take it a step further, the Queen of the Midsummer Isles?

Asha was really heartbroken, but she was not a brainless and irrational person. She forcibly endured her excitement and didn't tell too many people about it except her uncle.

And maybe because Victarion's injury hasn't healed, his face is a little ugly, but Asha, who is on the happy head, doesn't notice this.

Afterwards, Asha led a few cronies and began to search for the traces of gold mines in the mountains and plains of the Jinshou Peninsula.

Although she is very familiar with iron ore, Asha has never been in contact with gold mines, and she and her iron species don't know how to find gold mines, so they can only cast a wide net aimlessly, hoping to be able to The blind cat meets the dead mouse.

But unfortunately, maybe Asha guessed wrong. There is no gold mine here. The legend of Jinshou Peninsula is just a legend. , but there was no harvest, not even the shadow of the gold mine.

However, at this moment, bad news came suddenly.

An Ironborn who was left behind on the ship came to report to Asha, claiming that her uncle Victarion had suddenly fainted.
