Thanks to the doomsday blockbuster in later generations, Li Xiu paid some attention to the Mayans, and later he learned more about the Mayans through the Internet and other channels.

For example, he knew that the Mayans lived in Central and South America and built their own cities and countries. They were very developed in astronomy and mathematics. They clearly mastered the technology of smelting metals, but they were not allowed to use metal utensils. Instead, they only smelted gold and worshipped in temples. What's even more strange is that they did not invent the wheels, which also caused no record of using cars from the birth to the demise of the Mayan civilization.

However, after all, Li Xiu was not a scholar who specialized in studying the Mayans, and his understanding of the Mayans was very limited. For example, he did not know the historical period when the Mayans were active. He did not know when the Mayan civilization declined later? He did not know what form the Mayan civilization appeared on the continents of Central and South America?

In fact, the Maya has never been a unified regime or country. It is a general term for local native tribal civilizations in Central and South America. The Maya civilization is actually centered on the city-state. Each city-state has its own unique culture and customs. However, in the context of the big picture, they all have the same civilization, so they are unified called the Maya. And coincidentally, during the Tang Dynasty, it was also the most powerful and active period of the Maya.

"What Mayan?" The bearded guest asked in confusion when he heard Li Xiu's exclamation. He had never heard of a name in the Americas. In fact, every place he went, the natives there seemed to have their own names. He has only remembered a few important city-states, but there were no Mayans among them.

"Oh, Maya is my general term for the more civilized natives in Central and South America who live in city-states. Just like we call the Turks, but in fact, the Turks are composed of many tribes with different names!" Li Xiu also woke up at this time and hurriedly explained.

"So that's it, but it's convenient to call it like this. The natives in the Americas don't know what's wrong with it. The names they choose are long and difficult to pronounce. For example, the city-state where Qu Yi and the others live is called Wahakton. Anyway, I always call it that way, but in fact the name of their city-state is much longer than this." The bearded guest said a little distressed at the end.

"Wahakton? I haven't heard of this name. Besides, who is the uncle Qu Yi? If you were just an ordinary native girl, you wouldn't have brought her back so far, right?" Li Xiu asked curiously again. The bearded guest had just talked about his experience of arriving in America, but he still hadn't talked about the big-bellied Mayan girl? Of course, Li Xiu had actually had a vague guess in his mind.

"Oh, you're really guessing it right. Qu Yi is not an ordinary person. Her father is the lord of Wahkton. Those Mayans are centered on the city-state and form forces similar to the kingdom. Wahkton is the most powerful among the Mayan city-states I have encountered. All the surrounding city-states must obey their orders." The bearded guest sighed at this time, and then roughly introduced Qu Yi's identity.

"So that's it. I understand. It must be that Brother Eleven seduced him into bed and made him bigger. He didn't want to take responsibility. He patted his butt and ran away. But even so, uncle, you don't need to be so angry, right?" Li Xiu nodded first, and then said strangely. According to the previous introduction of the Guest Guest, they seemed to have done such things a lot, and they didn't care at all whether they would leave children in America, so his reaction seemed to be a bit over-expected?

"How could it be that simple?" Qiuyan slapped the table in anger at this time, and then he talked about Zhang Shiyi and Qu Yi in detail again. Li Xiu became more and more shocked as he heard it. At the same time, he gradually understood why Qiuyan was so angry.

The gods believed in by various city-states of the Mayans are different. Different civilizations and customs are extended under different doctrines. Moreover, compared with the natives they met in North America before, the Mayans are also more civilized. The Wahakton city-state is the most powerful Mayan city-state encountered by the bearded guest. Some customs of this city-state are somewhat similar to those of the Han people. For example, one is that they attach great importance to women's chastity. A woman can only marry a man in her life, and once she gets married, she cannot terminate the marriage anyway.

When the bearded guest first contacted the city-state of Wahakton, he had already figured out their customs, so he deliberately warned his subordinates not to provoke women in this city-state. After all, there are other city-states around Wahakton. Some city-states do not value women's chastity, and some city-states are even greedy for the novel goods brought by the bearded guest, and are very willing to let women in the city-state interact with them, so as to get some rewards.

However, others dare not offend the orders of the bearded guest, but Zhang Shiyi was a very brave guy. The city-state of Wahakton was also very welcome to the arrival of the bearded guest. The lord of the city-state also personally met them and organized goods to trade them. This time, the bearded guest did not come from an empty ship, but brought a lot of silk and porcelain, because he knew that these things were sometimes more popular than real money and silver when they were overseas.

It was also in this kind of transaction that Zhang Shiyi didn't know how to hook up with Qu Yi. As a love affair, Qu Yi's father discovered that as the lord of the city-state of Wahakton, his daughter was defiled with purity by an outsider. This was a huge insult to him, which made him furious and immediately caught Zhang Shiyi. Fortunately, Zhang Shiyi was good at being so good that he actually escaped under the pursuit of the Mayans and fled back to the ship.

The bearded guest only learned about this afterwards. When the Lord Wahakton asked him for someone, the bearded guest was almost angry to death because he was fighting with the people of Wahakton at that time, and even persuaded the other party to ask the other party to come out to help them build a stronghold and port on the beach, so that it would also facilitate the fleet to stop and rest here in the future.

"Wait a minute, Central and South America is so big. If you get into trouble with the lord of Wahakton, you can take people away and find another place. There is no need to build a stronghold there, right?" Li Xiu said in confusion again at this time.

"That's different. You don't know what we found in Wahakton!" The bearded guest said with excitement at this time. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was even happier than discovering America.

"What, is it gold?" Li Xiu also cheered up when he heard this. The bearded guest was a hero. Li Xiu also admitted that the hero also had his own selfish desires. Especially a hero like the bearded guest, not only was he king overseas, but he also had a large family behind him, so he was also very greedy for wealth, otherwise he would not have controlled the trade in Southeast Asia.

"Hehe, there are a lot of gold, but the gods of the Mayans also like gold, so they usually find gold in their hands. Unless a war is launched, we will not get gold at all. But in addition to gold, there are other precious metals, such as silver!" The bearded guest squinted his eyes and said with unconcealed greed on his face.

"Silver! Is the reserves large?" Li Xiu exclaimed when he heard this, and then asked, but as soon as he said that he almost slapped himself. America is famous for its rich minerals, especially precious metals such as gold, silver and copper. Think about the Spanish treasure ships in later generations, which almost shipped gold and silver to Europe. Moreover, the reason why later generations chose silver as currency was mainly because almost all the silver produced in America was transported to the Central Plains.

"Hehe, you may not believe it. The Mayans like gold, but they don't like silver. The gold mines they mined also have silver. As a result, they threw away silver as long as gold. After the lord of Wahakton City State found that we like silver, they took me to see a huge silver mine. I can't estimate the reserves, but the silver content of the ore is very high and very cheap. A porcelain bowl can exchange for silver with a big head, which is like a free pick. Do you think I want it?" When the bearded guest said the last time, his eyes were shiny, and he looked like a greedy hungry wolf.

"A piece of silver with a big head?" Li Xiu couldn't help but look down at the porcelain bowl in front of him when he heard this. Just one porcelain bowl could actually get so much silver. You know, the Tang Dynasty is different from later generations. Silver and gold in this era are very rare, so the price of silver is actually similar to gold. The equivalent amount of silver may be cheaper than gold, but it is also very limited. If it can be transported back to ordinary silver, then it is impossible to imagine its value?

"You know, in my eyes, Wahkton is a big money owner with a glowing body. The lord had agreed to use silver to do business with us. The port I built is mainly used to transport silver, but at this gate, it was actually disrupted by the bastard of Eleven. If you were me, what would you do?" The bearded guest asked angrily when he spoke at the end.

"This..." Li Xiu didn't know how to answer when he heard this. Although he wanted to suggest that the bearded guest remove Zhang Shiyida and throw it into the sea to feed the fish, the bearded guest probably wouldn't be so cruel. But if he protects his son, he would probably have to throw his wealth into America.
