Chapter 25 Money Tree

The next day the warriors went hunting with Bai Fucheng, and the women carried baskets to pick nearby.

The leader was already walking while telling everyone what he learned from the God Envoy.

That night, the God Envoy was pleasantly surprised.

A large pile of mushrooms is sorted, then someone washes them, slices them, and leaves them to dry.

I found a lot of hairy mushrooms. This mushroom only grows in land with high sand content.

He Qinghuan immediately called someone over and asked, "Where did you pick this mushroom?" "

The warrior replied: "In a valley in the northwest of Shanxi."

He Qinghuan called Bai Fucheng: "Come here, let me tell you."

There is likely to be gold in the place where this mushroom grows. Do you want to pan for gold?

Patriarch Bai nodded.

He Qinghuan said: But the most important thing for us now is to find iron ore, not gold.

Patriarch Bai said: We can go to investigate first to make sure there is any gold, and then mine it when we use it later. Anyway, they don't know how to mine it.

He Qinghuan nodded: OK.

Bai Fucheng reached out to touch his hair: the hair is long, are you hot?

"It's hot, but there are no scissors."

It's on the Swiss Army Knife.

"so small?"

"Cut slowly."

"Forget it, I'll tie it up."

"You don't trust my craft?"

"It's too troublesome, I'd better find a leather rope."

"No trouble, I'll cut it for you."

"No." One ran, the other chased. . . . .

Finally caught, hugged and rubbed frantically, and finally only the sound of sucking remained. . . . . .

The next day, Bai Fucheng took the warriors to pan for gold in the ravine yesterday. Fifty warriors were scattered around to hunt, and fifty warriors were looking for the golden stone that the patriarch said in the river.

Soon there was a warrior holding a handful of river sand, "Patriarch, do you think it is this thing?"

Under the sunlight, Bai Fucheng looked at the gleaming golden rice-like grains, the size of rice grains.

Yes, gold, the gold content is quite high.

Bai Fucheng looked at the golden sand all over the river, and guessed that there were gold mines upstream, among the rocks, washed away by the weathered water, and fell into the river bed.

However, it is still too early for gold to appear, because primitive people did not even have the basic currency, and they still use barter now.

The only value of gold is as an ornament, but now we are fighting an economic war, and there is no time to spare warriors to pan for gold.

Autumn is coming soon, food and keeping warm are the first priority, let's talk about the rest next year.

In the river, Bai Fucheng used the gold dustpan that He Qinghuan rushed to make overnight to wash away the quicksand, leaving behind golden sand.

Because of the high specificity of gold, when river sand is mixed together, the light river sand will be washed away under the impact of water flow, leaving only gold sand.This is the origin of the big waves washing the sand.

When I was tired, I let the other warriors continue and had a simple barbecue at noon.

It was astonishing to find about a catty of sand in one day.

Hand it over to He Qinghuan at night, "Wow, it's really rich in reserves. We're going to make a fortune."

Bai Fucheng smiled: "These are all dedicated to the honorable envoy of God."

"Poor again."

Bai Fucheng held his hand and said regretfully: "I'm sorry, I can't go panning for gold now, the time is running out.

You have to wait until the emergence of currency to pan for gold.

Not enough staff either. "

He Qinghuan held the gold sand: "It's okay, I'll experiment with these first to see if I can produce gold."

Bai Fucheng kissed him: "As long as you are happy."

He Qinghuan went to the pottery kiln the next day and boiled the sand into a liquid in a small casserole with a mouth at the mouth of the kiln.

Juan watched the solid gold turn into liquid, and opened his mouth wide in shock: "My lord envoy."

The God Envoy took advantage of the time of alchemy to make a mold out of mud, which is very simple.

Take a dollar coin on your body and press it on the soft mud, and you will have a printed prototype pattern, so that

There are five in one row and ten in two rows, each connected by a shallow ditch in the middle, placed on wooden boards.

The other side presses the other side of the coin in a symmetrical place, and it doesn't need to be too deep, so it's done.

For the convenience of carrying, I rubbed a round clay strip, very thin about the diameter of a red bean, sliced ​​it, and stuck it on the top of the coin mold one by one, and there was no pattern on the front and back.

It will form a round hole in the middle like a Japanese coin, which can be passed through the rope for easy carrying.

Hearing Juan's cry of surprise, he knew it, so he buckled the molds on both sides together, and the gates on both sides were matched together to form a small funnel.

Because the mud is very strong, it will not be deformed if it is squeezed on both sides of the wooden board, and it will be formed soon after pouring the gold liquid.

The two people poured water carefully, waited, and opened the mold, and the golden coins between them appeared on the mud.

Juan called: "My lord, they are hard again."

The God Envoy chuckled, and casually lifted the gold coins from the sprue with twigs, "Two money trees."

Juan: "What is money?"

The God Envoy thought for a while and gave the shortest answer: "It is something that can be exchanged between all tribes, usually gold, silver and copper, and paper will be used in the end."

Juan also couldn't understand the things that can be exchanged. What's the difference between exchanging gazelle for pottery bowls now?

The dutiful Juan continued to help the God Envoy mint coins.

Soon the gold in the pot was almost gone, and I saw that the god envoy cut the gold coins from the money tree one by one with his knife, threw the branches of the money tree into the pot, and let Juan go in little by little. melted.

Juan cried again: "My lord, they have become water again."

The God Envoy explained: 'This is because of the temperature, as long as the temperature is enough, the metal will become liquid.Liquids turn into solids at lower temperatures. "

Juan still knows the meaning of the word temperature because of the kiln.

Juan murmured, "My lord, is this a magical power? Did you make them do this?"

He Qinghuan said: "Now I also entrust you with this magical power, don't tell outsiders."

Juan was flattered and said, "Yes, my lord, I won't even tell others about the firing of the kiln."

These are all top-secret technologies in the tribe, even if the God Envoy doesn't tell them, he won't tell them.

In the evening, He Qinghuan proudly handed a bunch of gold coins to Bai Fucheng: "Look, what good things are these?"

Bai Fucheng's eyes are full of glittering gold coins: "One dollar?How long have I not seen. "

Come up with a deep kiss: 'Thank you baby. "

He Qinghuan wiped his lips: "It's a pity that I don't know how to purify, not enough."

Bai Fucheng didn't mind at all: "That is, the purity of gold is pursued in China, and it is 18K in foreign countries, so it is strong.

Besides, this gold coin is now the most advanced gold coin in the world.Hahaha. "Laughed happily and kissed again.

Haven't gold bricks adulterated with tungsten appeared in China?Even the five largest banks in China were cheated, and the suspected amount was several billion.

In this case, the gold coin is already very pure.

He Qinghuan took out another small gold ingot: "Look at this."

The last gold was not enough for one casting, so a small piece of gold brick was cast to save trouble.

"Baby, you are really my lucky star."

Bai Fucheng put his arms around the God Envoy and sighed.

Didn't see the witch doctor next to him gouging him hard, the manager of Dashan turned his head to pretend not to see, An Dong secretly gave him a thumbs up.

That night, Bai Fucheng took out the gold coins and handed them to the witch doctor, because he also discovered that all his Baoer's things were handed over to the witch doctor for safekeeping.

Although the witch doctor can't count, his brain is easy to use. How many pieces of bacon, how many baskets, how many pottery bowls are there in the tribe,

How many people, remember clearly.

The most important thing is that it is very difficult to get something out of her hands. Don't lose the things that are handed to her.

The gold coin is a good thing, the witch doctor put it away with a smile, the Patriarch Bai is still very good.

Counting, there are 42 gold coins in total.Put it away, put it at the bottom of the basket, and lean against it when you sleep at night.

The topic of the evening mentioned the summer assembly.

After the meeting, it will be autumn, and everyone is busy collecting food, so there is no free meeting.

There is nothing to exchange in spring, so the meeting is scheduled for late summer and early autumn, when the weather is cooler.

the best season.

The leaders were talking about the things they were going to exchange, and He Qinghuan was listening. They were all herbs, gazelle, wolf skins,

Pottery bowl, something common.

Even sweet potatoes are not ready to be exchanged, let alone bacon, smoked sausage, gold coins and other things that other tribes do not have.

Bai Fucheng saw his doubts, "Do you know why?"

"I don't know. If we take some rare things, wouldn't they be more willing to exchange them? Besides, for us, these are simple things."

"Wrong, because these unique skills and things of our tribe must not be known to foreigners.

They know that there are two possibilities, one is to like it and exchange it for something.

The second is to grab it directly.

That's why Lao Tzu said that the important weapon of the country should not be announced to others. "

He Qinghuan nodded; "That's right. In modern times, military heavy industry is also a state secret."

Figured out. "Can I go together?"

The witch doctor said: "No, the God Envoy has a noble status and cannot leave the tribe."
