Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 2150 A sapphire bigger than a pigeon egg

After listening to Smith's explanation, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help being secretly surprised: It's a new era now, and I didn't expect such a barbaric punishment method to exist here.

As soon as he thought of this, Smith changed the subject: "This was the rule in the past. As for now, the rules are much looser. This is mainly because the development and expansion of modern society has inevitably created a new trend for this very primitive tribe. Due to the pressure of reality, the Mu tribe is now considering the issue of secularization."

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted, and then saluted Chief Mu's two daughters.

This time Niu Xiaoqiang's etiquette was more casual. Although the two girls were the chief's daughters, their identities did not have much special place.If it weren't for their marriage to Smith, they would have been subject to the same heavy physical labor as women in other tribes.

After forcing the ceremony, Niu Xiao asked in a low voice: "Smith, since you are married to them, why don't you take them to live in your private manor?"

Smith smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to, but because the Mu tribe doesn't allow this. Women are the most precious property of the tribe. Before secularization, the tribe absolutely does not allow women in the tribe to leave the tribe."

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "What kind of marriage is this?"

Smith explained: "I was also very confused about this at the beginning. Later, Chief Mu told me that I was a special case. When I needed it, I could come here to have fun with her two daughters at any time. If I don't need it , it doesn’t matter if you don’t come.”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly when he heard the words: "So that's what happened. To put it bluntly, this is a political marriage."

Smith hummed and made a gesture of invitation: "Chief Mu invited us into the room to talk, let's go in."

Niu Xiaoqiang agreed and followed Smith into the house.

Originally, Niu Xiaoqiang thought that there was no one else in the house, but he didn't expect that after entering, he found that there were not only people in the house, but many more.

There were eight men squatting in the four corners of the wooden house. These four or eight men were all strong and strong. They sat facing the wall, looking like they were facing the wall and thinking about their past.

Niu Xiaoqiang was quite puzzled by this, and Smith explained in a low voice when he saw this: "This is a man specially arranged for Chief Mu. If she needs it, she will choose someone from this man to accompany her. According to the rules of the tribe, every A man has only one chance to accompany the chief once in his life, if you are not selected in your life, it will only be your fault."

Niu Xiaoqiang felt absurd about this, but he didn't laugh at it.He suppressed his sense of absurdity and asked, "Then what about the other women?"

Smith replied: "It's easy to handle. They will live with the man they choose. Each woman can only choose three times in her life. More than this number will not work."

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted and thought to himself: This tribe is really special, I don't even know what to say.

As soon as he thought of this, Chief Mu sent out the eight men who were "thinking about the past" and said in English: "Mr. Niu, welcome to the Mu tribe."

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Chief Mu with surprised eyes.

Chief Mu seemed to see what Niu Xiaoqiang was thinking, and she explained with a smile: "I have learned English from Tina, not only me, but also Dolan and my two daughters."

Niu Xiaoqiang gave Smith a blank look when he heard the words, and complained that he deliberately concealed the situation.

Smith explained with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to tell you the truth, but that Chief Mu doesn't allow me to disclose this situation to outsiders privately. Their behavior is equivalent to private secularization. They are chiefs, and they need to consider the feelings of their tribe. , I hope you can understand."

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted: "I see, thank you Chief Mu for your welcome, I am very honored to have the opportunity to meet the chief."

Chief Mu smiled and waved his hand: "You don't need to call me an adult, you should just call me Chief Mu."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly in agreement, and Chief Mu continued: "I have heard Smith give a detailed introduction about Mr. Niu. According to him, you are the spokesperson of a big family of the most powerful country in the world, and your own wisdom It’s also very outstanding, isn’t it like this?”

Niu Xiaoqiang was not humble, he nodded again: "What Smith said is basically true."

Chief Mu nodded slightly, and then said: "You are a wise man from afar. I want to hear your opinion on whether the Mu tribe should be secularized. As long as you can solve the problems we encountered, I will allow you to come from My tribe picked and took ten women."

Hearing this, Niu Xiaoqiang glanced at Smith, and thought to himself: After so long, it turned out that this guy took me to inspect the gold mine was just a cover, his real purpose was to let me help the Mu tribe solve possible problems in the process of secularization. The problem encountered.

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang looking at him, Smith lowered his head a little guilty, not daring to look into Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes.

Seeing this, Niu Xiaoqiang sighed helplessly, put away his thoughts and said: "Chief Mu, I can help you find a way to solve the problems encountered in the process of secularization. As for the reward you give me, then I don't need it."

In Niu Xiaoqiang's view, he was nothing more than helping Chief Mu with his ideas, which was nothing to him.If I accepted the reward from others, wouldn't I be the same as a human trafficker?
In addition, Niu Xiaoqiang already has many women, and he doesn't want to find three more to create pressure on himself.

Chief Mu pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and then took out a huge sapphire from his large robe and put it in front of him: "Since Mr. Niu doesn't like women, then use this as your reward. The Mu tribe is a fastidious A tribe that pays and reaps equally, since you have paid for your labor, you should be paid, and please don't refuse."

This sapphire is a circle larger than a pigeon egg. Although it is still a rough stone without any processing, it generally presents the shape of a hexagram. Among natural gemstones, this kind of rough stone with a special shape is very rare. Therefore, its value is higher than those of processed gems.

According to the market conditions that Niu Xiaoqiang knew, the sapphire that Chief Mu took out could be sold for at least 2000 million US dollars.

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help being surprised, he didn't expect Chief Mu to offer such a precious treasure as his reward.Smith on the side was also a little dumbfounded. He stared straight at the sapphire with a look of surprise on his face.
