Chapter 217 Sailfish Tribe With the medicine prepared by Shiratori, the plague crisis of the fleet was lifted, and everyone was half relieved.
In the following days, Li Zhen still had no intention of leaving this beach, nor did he plan to slaughter that tribe, but sent many spies deep into the jungle to explore the situation of that tribe without stopping.
It's not clear what the name of this tribe is, but the spies' totem is the sailfish that was caught by Li Zhen that day, and there are often rituals to worship the swordfish totem, so Li Zhen simply called them the swordfish tribe, as for the name of the tribe that was plagued by the plague before, it is called the big tree tribe, but this tribe has perished, so let's not talk about them.
Regarding the swordfish tribe, the information Li Zhen got was already quite detailed.
There are more than 20,000 people in the Sailfish Tribe, and there are more than 5,000 people in Qingzhuang alone, which is the largest tribe within 500 miles around.
Compared with other tribes, the Sailfish tribe is a little better than other tribes, they are similar to the natives of the Lilac tribe on Lilac Island, mainly living on farming and fishing, which is a relatively mild tribe, but no one knows whether the barbarism in their bones has been removed.
The Sailfish tribe has developed its own civilization, which can use bronze and some iron tools, and has built its own city, and the city planning is very reasonable.
There are two cities in the Sailfish Tribe, a main city and a sub-city, the length and width of the main city are more than one mile, and the circumference is more than five li, and the sub-city is about the same as the Big Tree Tribe, only two or three li.
Both cities were built of stone, and the walls were as high as one zhang, which was quite majestic in the primordial forest, at least ordinary beasts could not enter the city.
The Sailfish tribe has the ability to tame elephants, and there are dozens of elephants in the tribe, which can be used both as agricultural and war weapons, which is also the biggest reliance of the Sailfish tribe.
The Sailfish tribe did not have a written language of their own, and developed simple medicine that was effective in treating common ailments or poisons in the jungle.
The Sailfish tribe is relatively harmonious, and there are few fights, but it has also developed a class level, the lowest level is the slaves, most of them are criminal prisoners or captured prisoners of war, then civilians, engaged in farming, fishing and hunting, and then there are nobles, who are the rulers of the tribe, but there are not many nobles, only a few dozen people, and there is no aristocracy to oppress the commoners.
The chief of the Sailfish tribe is called Alla Shi, a man in his forties, but because of the hard life in the jungle, he is very old, with gray hair and wrinkled faces, and a forty-year-old person looks like a sixty-year-old face, which shows that in the jungle with abundant food, the natives are not living very well.
Allah is very prestigious in the tribe, very much admired by the tribesmen, he is also a powerful warrior, although he is forty years old, but still has the ability to hunt a Borneo rhinoceros (Sumatran rhinoceros) alone, brave, its combat effectiveness will not be inferior to Li Zhen's fierce generals, at least Cheng Chuliang after competing with a Sumatran rhinoceros, he sighed to himself, thinking that he is not as good as Allah.
During his years of reign, he suffered a total of three major wars, and in the end, he relied on Allah's command to repel the enemy. …… In addition to the above information, the spies did not explore more information, but just having these, it is enough, after getting specific information, Li Zhen's subordinates are already screaming to destroy the Sailfish Tribe, no matter how powerful Allah is, no matter how powerful the Sailfish tribe is, in the face of the Tang Army armed to the teeth, it can only be a mantis arm as a car, and it is beyond their means.
However, when everyone was ready, they found that Li Zhen didn't seem to have this plan, and he didn't mention the use of troops at all.
He is now either fishing every day, or helping the crew identify treasures, ignoring Luo Zhe's fact that they are already anxious to beat people.
Speaking of treasure hunting, the people in the fleet are really crazy, almost the entire area around Semporna has been searched, and the treasure hunters in their hearts have already set their sights on Boon Boon Island, which is an island peeled off the main island of Borneo, the outcropping part of the water is not large, nearly two-thirds of the area is hidden under the water, so the sea is clear and not deep, which is very suitable for diving.
With the expansion of the search range, Li Zhen harvested more treasures, and the transaction record of Wu Qi's pearl watermelon, which was originally the most precious one, was quickly broken, and a piece of sea-blue diamond the size of an adult's skull was fished out of the sea and was pocketed by Li Zhen at a price of 12,000 yuan.
However, the person who offered this treasure also made the same choice as Wu Qi, and also wanted to exchange a large amount of land from Li Zhen, and unlike Wu Qi, he did not ask for the land of Chang'an, but the land of Nanyang.
The viciousness of the vision and the swiftness of the shot, even Li Zhen has to admire, it is really rare for a good family from an ordinary family to be so forward-looking.
Datang's main policy in the future is Nanyang, and the future development of Nanyang will definitely be very rapid.
But at this time, the most valuable thing in Nanyang is land, and money has always been able to buy one acre of the best land, this person spent 10,000 yuan to buy 10,000 acres of fertile land from Li Zhen on the southernmost alluvial plain of the Mekong River, plus Li Zhen's gift, there are 12,000 acres of fertile land.
This is also the reason why Li Zhen said that he has a vicious vision and a quick shot, everyone knows that the future of Nanyang is unlimited, but the Chinese people are cautious, even if the price of land in Nanyang is low, there are still not many people to buy land here, and more are still waiting for the landless civilians who are divided by the imperial court, but with the wealth of Nanyang, a commoner can't share much land, at most only ten or twenty acres, and they can't buy and sell freely, which is equivalent to farming land for the big landlord of the country.
After the development of Nanyang in the future, with the fertility of the land on the alluvial plain of the Mekong River, the price of the fields here is only not less than Chang'an, and may even be more expensive than the price of Chang'an, after all, the grain production here is too ruthless, even if it has not been improved, the yield of rice can reach a few hundred catties per acre, if the price of such a treasure land is not high, it is really unreasonable.
It can be said that with so much land, even if this person does nothing and waits for the appreciation of the land, he can become a rich man - his choice is much stronger than Wu Qike.
Therefore, Li Zhen also glanced at him and remembered him, but after asking his name clearly, Li Zhen was stunned.
Because this person's name is called Black Tooth Changzhi......
