Vol 5 Chapter 148: indigenous

The fleet stopped for a night on a small island that was not too big, and continued to head south in the next day. ~
About three hours later, a black line representing the land appeared on the far side of the sea.
"Lesley, this seems to be a lot bigger than what you said on the letter." Xu also looked at the land in the distance through the telescope in his hand and couldn't help but make a surprise. "This big place can't be described as an island."
"In fact, it is really just an island." Leslie smiled and stretched out his arm and drew a semicircle in the air.
We later explored the circle around the island and found that the other island closest to it was the island we stopped last night, so it was actually solitary in this sea area, of course only It’s an island."
"How big is his area? Do you know?" Xu also asked.
"I can't give you the specific data. If you really want to say something, let me think about it... probably there are dozens of Masur islands."
"That can only be regarded as an island?" Xu also took a look at Leslie.
Masur Island is the largest island discovered by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce fleet in the southern part of the Candela empire, covering an area of ​​nearly 20 square kilometers.
If the island is as big as dozens of Masur islands, does it mean that it is even as close as a thousand square kilometers?
Although it can still be regarded as an island, the significance of the island to this extent is extraordinary.
Xu also picked up the telescope and glanced at the island that was getting closer and closer. He sighed and said: "Lesley, I suddenly regretted that I would hand the island to your hand. Such a big island. The above resources must be very rich. I am equal to handing over a Jinshan to your hand."
Lesley rolled his eyes: "This place is going to be a colony by your guy. Even if it is handed over to me, it will not serve you and the new Flyer."
Xu also smiled and thought that there were only a few talents under his own hands, and there were not many trustworthy things like Leslie.
If those countries that want to learn the era of great maritime navigation on the earth are colonizing overseas, there is really no suitable candidate other than Leslie.
Yesterday and Leslie’s idea of ​​letting him lead the colony, as early as Leslie’s report that an extremely large island was discovered in the deep sea of ​​the southern part of the Candela empire, has already emerged in Xu’s head.
Wait until this time to see Leslie. Xu has already thought very clearly.
It’s hard to find such a large island that is solitary overseas. If you don’t control the other countries and forces on the mainland of Sainz, when you are incapable of being involved in it, it’s really a violent thing.
However, with the current strength of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce, the most important issue is the manpower problem. It is difficult to assign people to control it.
In this case, it is better to hand it over to Leslie and let him control it.
Although the Stark family was destroyed, the Stark family flourished for hundreds of years in the Kingdom of Lampari. The strength hidden in the dark is still very deep and has not completely disappeared.
From the time Leslie found himself asking for the purchase of multiple magic ships, you can see it. In the hands of Leslie, I am afraid that I have mastered the huge resources hidden by the Stark family, and Leslie has not hidden this from Xu.
So Xu has been thinking about how to arrange Lesley.
It is obviously impossible for Lesley to stay in this position of the commander of the new Flying Chamber of Commerce fleet. Then it would be a good idea to arrange for him to go overseas to develop a base for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
There are a lot of people under Lesley who originally belonged to the Stark family, and they continue to stay on the mainland of Sainz. It’s hard to have a day to go and start running away from the island on the mainland of Sainz. It is a very good choice.
When Xu also mentioned this arrangement to Leslie yesterday, Leslie was somewhat surprised at first, but after a short period of thinking, he determined that this arrangement really suits his situation.
However, everything is still in an unknown state. They even have a very shallow understanding of the island. It is too early to say that Leslie only agreed with Xu’s arrangement, but did not immediately agree.
Everything has to wait for the island to be explored before making a decision.
The fleet maintained a rapid approach to the island and quickly approached. After seeing the outline of the island, Xu also ordered a magical airship to take off from the frigate and begin a general exploration of the island.
"Have you ever been to the island?" Xu also asked Leslie.
"On, we found a natural deep-water port that can be docked in that place, and we can land there from a while." Leslie pointed to a corner road on the right front.
"Oh? There is still a natural deep-water port? It seems that your luck is really good." Xu also had some accidents.
Leslie haha ​​smiled: "This is not just my luck, but also yours. But not all good luck. Do you know what we found after we waited ashore?"
Seeing that Lesley looked sullen, Xu also curiously asked: "What happened?"

The island is indigenous, and the language used by these indigenous peoples sounds a bit closer to our Continental lingua franca. According to my calculations, the indigenous people on this island are likely to be from Cien. The rafting on the mainland can actually be regarded as our fellow."

Isn't that better? I am still worried that it is not very good to communicate with the indigenous people on the island. Now that the language problem has been solved, it is much simpler.

"It's as simple as that." Leslie smiled bitterly. "I don't know why, the indigenous people on this island are very hostile to us. When we see us, we call and kill. We first came here, and because you always said that you want to develop peacefully, you can't do it. Come back."

That is, your initial exploration is a failure?

"Roughly the same."
Xu also frowned at the huge island that was already close at hand. After thinking about it, he waved his hand: "No matter what. Let's go first."
"What if the indigenous people shouted and killed us?"
Xu also gave him a look. He laughed and said: "They can be hostile to us outsiders. But they will never be hostile to something that will make their lives better..."
Leslie licked the smile on Xu’s face and couldn’t help but shook his head and sighed:
Xu Yi, I found that this guy is more and more like a profiteer.

Twenty minutes later, the fleet stopped at the natural deep-water port that Lesley pointed out.
It is backed by a cliff, and there is a beach that is not particularly wide next to the cliff, so although it can be regarded as a natural deep-water port, the range of frigates that can be provided is not particularly large.
Leslie has been here once. It is quite familiar with the situation here.
Xu also watched as he commanded the fleet to disperse near the coast and then took a magical assault boat to the shore.
While feeling the softness brought by the fine sand under the feet, Xu also looked around to the surrounding environment.
Although there is a natural seaport here, the area is limited, so there is not much room for development.
If the island is to be truly developed, this natural port obviously cannot meet the demand and must seek another port.
However, this is something that will be considered in the future. For the time being, it can be used.
Xu also looked back at Leslie, who was commanding the guards coming down from the frigate. He frowned and shouted: "Lesley. Let them all hide their weapons. At the very least, what are the swords? We all go to do business with others. We are not going to fight."
Leslie said: "I didn't tell you just now. The indigenous people on this island are very hostile to us. Isn't it something to guard against?"
"Of course, it is necessary to guard against it, but if you run like this with all your arms, people will become hostile even if they are not hostile. Listen to me, throw the obvious swords and other weapons, just bring some Military magic machinery such as magic rockets will do."
At first, Lesley heard that Xu Yi’s command was that he was still wrinkled, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn’t help but laugh.
"Well, you have a good time, I thought you wanted to be a messenger of peace. It took a long time to be much better than me."
After that, Leslie turned around and began to order the guards. According to Xu’s instructions, only those military magic machines were left on the body.
These gadgets are completely different from the traditional weapons and swords. The indigenous people on the island can't recognize it even if they see it, and the alert mentality will obviously be lower.
In addition to letting the guards put down some weapons, Xu also ordered everyone to bring all kinds of living materials from the frigates, and then led the people to board the island from the slopes next to the beach.
According to the information provided by Leslie, after a group of people walked up the and walked southeast for about three kilometers, they saw a small village of about twenty houses.
Far from seeing such a large group of people swarming, the residents in the village were obviously taken aback, gathered together, and looked at the crowd with amazement.
Xu Yimou swept over the residents in the village and found that their clothes were extremely worn. Many people had several patches on them.
Look at them all black and yellow thin face, Xu also immediately felt at ease.
It seems that the living conditions of these ordinary residents are very general. Don't say that compared with the people of Lampapri and the people of the Principality of Constantine who are now affected by the new Flyer, they are still better than the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The lives of the people of Bangta City who did not appear before were also slightly worse.
Thinking of this, Xu also showed a friendly smile on his face. He took a bag of flour from a guard in front of him and walked over to the group of villagers.
Seeing that he had come over, the villagers involuntarily stepped back two steps, and they got closer together, and they all looked at him nervously.
Xu also continued to smile, stopped at a distance of about five meters from the villagers, and then put the flour in his hand on the ground, untied the rope, and exposed the golden yellow flour in the bag.
"Everyone, we are businessmen from afar. I am here to do some business with you. If you can provide something of value, then we are willing to exchange these things with you."
The opposite villagers look at the flour on the ground, and then look at the various living materials displayed by the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the distance. Everyone suddenly shines. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
