Ming Zuo

Chapter 806
The old man's name is Tusa, and he is the wise man of Goji River Guard, that is, the leader.

This year is full of...

Forty years old.

Knowing Tusa's age, Wei Yuanfeng and Zhang Kequan were dumbfounded.

Obviously, the person in front of him looks old and unhealthy, and he turned out to be middle-aged.

Zhang Keda couldn't help touching his cheek.

He was already forty-five years old this year, and Tusa looked older than his father compared to him.

No way, that's how it is in a poor place.

It is not easy for people here to survive. Food, disease, wild animals, war, cold, any one of them will cause great devastation.

There are very few people here who can live past forty years old.

Because the first transaction went very smoothly, the hostility between the Beishang Legion and the Geji River Guard was eliminated.

Wei Yuanfeng and others were invited to Gejihewei's camp as guests.

It is not a formal stockade at all, but a patchwork of wooden houses built on an open lot.

There are finger-thick gaps between the wood and the wood, which can't achieve the effect of sheltering from wind and rain at all.

How hard it will be to live here in winter.

Zhang Keda even saw a colorful snake crawling into the house along the cracks in the wood.

This is obviously a very poisonous snake.

It is conceivable that if there is someone in the house and they haven't noticed it, they are definitely dead.

Since Zhang Keda saw it, he couldn't ignore it.

He raised his hand and pointed, and the soldier next to him shot immediately.

Amidst the loud noise, all the people in Gejihewei were frightened, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground, thinking that the gods were thundering.

The venomous snake was beaten to pieces, fell to the ground, twisted a few times, and then died.

Zhang Keda walked over, picked up the poisonous snake and showed it to Tusa and others.

"It's too dangerous for you to live like this."

It was only then that Tusa understood what the outsider had done just now, and his face was full of gratitude.

"Visitors from afar, thank you for saving us, so that there are no sad stories in our tribe. Please rest here and let us entertain our benefactors."

Gejihewei lived in poverty and could not produce any good things.

Fortunately, the surrounding area is full of mountains and fields, and most of them are wild beasts.

There is a lot of animal meat stored in the tribe, and when it is taken out, it will be put on the fire for simple barbecue.

It is estimated that this is a great feast in Goji River Guard.

Seeing him, Wei Yuanfeng quickly asked the people below to take out the pots and pans and started a demonstration on the spot.

The cooks in the army don't need to expect too much from their skills, at most they can make people full.

But here, an ordinary cook immediately becomes a chef.

Bang Bang Bang A few dishes were fried and served on a ceramic plate, which immediately surprised Geji Hewei as a heavenly man.

Wei Yuanfeng and Zhang Kedayan asked Tusa to sit down, knowing that he didn't know how to use chopsticks, so they handed him a knife and fork.

The people of the nomadic people, as long as they are taught briefly, they will learn how to use the knife and fork.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tusa put the twice-cooked pork into his mouth.

Before chewing, the delicious meat begins to hit the taste buds wantonly in the mouth.

Tusa tightly closed her mouth, her head was raised high, and tears flowed.

It was the best thing he had ever eaten in his life.

"Dear guest from afar, can you teach us this?"

When making this request, Tusa looked pitifully like an abandoned puppy.

If his people can often eat such food, how happy it would be!

Wei Yuanfeng put forward the conditions at the right time.

"These tools can be given to you, but we need an equivalent exchange. If you have extra fur, jewelry, medicinal materials, etc., we can exchange them."

Seeing the iron pot sitting on the fire, the soup in the pot was boiling continuously, and the strong smell of meat wafted in the air, how could Tusa not agree?
He hurriedly asked people to bring the stored furs, pearls, antlers, tendons and other things.

"This is our thing, can it be exchanged?"

Looking at the pile of furs like a hill, Wei Yuanfeng and Zhang Keda looked at each other in blank dismay.

They all knew that just transporting these furs back to Shandong would be a sky-high price.

Here, however, they replaced it with just six iron pans and some pots and spatulas.

I don't know if this situation spreads in Shandong, will it drive those businessmen who are blind to money to go crazy?

Here, though, the exchange is fair.

All the people in Gejihewei had a delicious meal that they will never forget, and they were more kind to these outsiders.

"Patriarch, we will come here often in the future, and our business can continue. If you don't have enough goods, you can also inform other tribes. It is our honor to be able to help you."

Before returning, Wei Yuanfeng made a request.

A small Goji River Guard obviously cannot meet the development requirements of the Northward Legion.

If all the tribes in the Heilongjiang River Basin can be brought over, the goal will be initially accomplished.

On Sakhalin Island, the location of the new ship manufacturing base has been selected.

Just in the southeast of Sakhalin Island, there is a very open bay.

The sea here is very deep, surrounded by land on three sides, it is a rare natural harbor.

Moreover, this place is on the east side of Sakhalin Island, so even if the Hou Jin army attacked from the west, it would not cause damage to this place.

This is the Terpeniya Bay of later generations.

But now it is named Luxiang Bay by Zhang Keda.

It means that the hometown of people here is in Shandong.

More than [-] shipbuilders led more than [-] men, women and children on the island to start construction.

Although the aborigines on the island could not read and did not have any shipbuilding skills, they were still very qualified as a labor force.

They have survived such a difficult environment. Now as long as they work in the shipyard, they can not only have enough food, but also get paid. The aborigines here are very willing.

Specifically how to build the ship, the Northward Legion can't help much, and can't get involved.

Seeing that everything was going well, General Wu simply led a small fleet to set off from Sakhalin Island, heading east all the way to the deep sea.

Since Zuo Menggeng called on them to explore, it is possible to explore eastward when the west and south are almost clear.

However, after the real departure, General Wu soon became frightened.

Because when walking all the way to the east, looking at the past, there is nothing around.Nothing can be seen between the sky and the earth except the blue water.

It's as if the sea is endless and never ends.

Even though he had seen the world map and knew that there was still a vast land on the other side of the sea, he still retreated.

Their small fleet carried limited supplies, and it was impossible for them to cross thousands of miles of ocean.

Go any further, without fresh water, they will all die.

Just when General Wu was about to give the order to return, there was a sudden exclamation from the sentry tower on the mast.

"There is an island ahead! There is a big island!"
