Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1105, for getting rich overnight

In Beijing Town, the expedition team led by Chen Feng is making preparations before departure.

The tall European horses were filled with food, tents, bows and arrows, swords, guns and other items needed for this expedition. At the same time, they also prepared some things specially used to bribe the descendants of local wealthy merchants, like some shiny glass products.

It looks very beautiful, but the value is extremely low, and it is most suitable as a gift for the descendants of wealthy merchants who don't understand anything.

There is no way, the Golden Continent is too vast.

Although many places have recognized the Sun God theory promoted by Tian Erniu, but in places far away from the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire, there are many tribes who do not recognize or believe in these, so I want to To deal with these tribes, the best way is naturally to send some gifts.

This is an extremely important method summed up by the expedition team.

The descendants of the wealthy merchants in Huangjinzhou are tall, strong, tough and good at fighting, and they are very smart. They can learn many things easily, and they are much smarter than those Kunlun slaves in Africa.

However, most tribes are friendly and hospitable. As long as you don't take the initiative to hurt them and express your kindness, many things are easy to handle.

Take advantage of these tribes to find gold, which is something that many expeditions really like to do.

Some expeditions searched for these tribes in various places, sent some gifts, and inquired about gold and silver, so they were very successful and explored many gold and silver mines.

Of course, even if you didn't inquire about gold or silver mines, as long as you have a good relationship, your own expedition team can be safer, and sometimes you can hire people from these local tribes as guides.

Knowing this well, Chen Feng would prepare something almost every time, such as glass products, pottery, tea, salt, cheap cloth and so on.

When you meet local tribes on the road, send them up and make good relations with these local tribesmen.

So all along, although the expedition was full of risks, Chen Feng's expedition team had never lost a single person.

"These European horses are really nice!"

Chen Feng patted his horse and couldn't help but admire.

There are no local horses in Huangjinzhou, and all the horses are transported from outside.

Because of the vast area on the Golden Isle, the demand for horses is very high. Many horses are transported from the mainland of Daming, but they are on the east coast of the Golden Isle.

Spanish businessmen were keenly aware of this, so they sold a large number of European horses to the Golden Isle for sale. The business was very hot and the profits were extremely high.

This also led to a large number of European horses on the east coast of Golden Island. These European horses are tall, strong, very powerful, and very docile. They are the most powerful assistants of the expedition team.

"Chen Feng~"

"The snow just stopped, you guys went out to explore?"

Chen Feng and the others were about to set off, when a middle-aged man with a pot belly and the appearance of a businessman walked over and asked with a smile.

"There is no way. If we don't go out to explore, we can only sit and eat. Unlike Boss Li, you can do business, and you can enjoy the blessings at home."

Chen Feng looked at the fat man in front of him. Li Lin, a small businessman, had a shop in this northern town, specializing in serving the expedition team, and also engaged in some intermediary work.

"Chen Feng, what are you talking about~"

Li Lin smiled, and then said in a low voice: "If you have a good deal, you must come to me. I will keep it and sell it to you for a good price."

"Okay, with your good words, your commission will definitely be indispensable at that time."

Chen Feng agreed with a smile.

There are actually quite a few intermediary businessmen like Li Lin. Some expeditions have discovered gold and silver mines, but they are unable to buy the land or mine it themselves, and are eager for money.

Then you can use these intermediary merchants to sell the gold mines you discover to those rich business houses or big merchants, and the intermediary merchants can earn some commissions on both ends.

Generally, small businessmen who do business in Golden Continent will do such things part-time.

"Let's go~"

Chen Feng got on his horse and led his team of more than [-] people on horseback to the outside of Beijing Town.

The snow that fell last night has not yet melted, and there is a piece of white snow everywhere. If you look around, you can see dense forests everywhere. Tall trees stand on the ground like giants.

To be honest, it’s really not suitable to go out for an adventure after it’s snowed in this winter, and the mood of the team members is not very good, because usually at this time, most people in other expedition teams are sleeping at home with their women in their arms However, they need to go out to explore in this freezing weather.

Everyone is naturally dissatisfied, but there is no way to do it.

Because everyone knows the situation of the expedition.

Since they came to the east coast and this northern town, they have not gained anything. There are more than [-] people in the expedition team plus horses. This person eats horse chews, and their daily expenses are very large.

As the captain of the expedition team, Chen Feng also had a frowning face every day. It was not an option to just sit back and eat. What's more, the Chinese New Year was about to come, and everyone was counting on discovering something so that they could have a happy new year.

There is no way, even though the weather is bad, Chen Feng still decides to take the members of his expedition team to search for gold and silver. There is always hope when going out for an expedition. Maybe if you are lucky, you will be able to find a gold mine, and then you can live a good life. New Year's Eve.

Riding on the tall horse, Chen Feng slightly tightened his hat. This time he was going to go north to explore, because he heard from the leader of a local tribe that there are several large lakes and rivers in the north of Beijing Town. Generally speaking, there may be gold deposits alluvial from rivers in such places.

The Fish Creek Gold Mine belongs to this type. A large amount of gold is alluvial and deposited on the river bed, eventually forming a rich gold mine. If such a gold mine can be found, even one gold mine is enough for their expedition team. People don't know how many quilts they eat.

Traveling northward all the way, Chen Feng and others walked during the day and found a place to set up camp at night. When they were thirsty, they boiled snow and drank water. When they were hungry, they searched for prey and hunted.

There are too many prey in Huangjinzhou, among which there are many kinds of large prey, such as bison, wild sheep, black goose, moose, elk, etc., which can be seen almost everywhere.

When the expedition team is out, they usually hunt as much as possible to solve the food problem, so that they can expand their exploration scope as much as possible.

"It's already the ninth day, and I've been hundreds of miles away from Beijing Town, right?"

"At least seven hundred miles away."

"But until now, we haven't even found a hair. I told the captain a long time ago that the east coast is very poor. Let alone gold and silver, there is not even a animal fur."

"If there are some mink furs and the like, they can be sold for some silver at least, but all this way is a primitive forest. What kind of treasures can there be in this place?"

"The captain is more anxious than us. The New Year is coming soon. If you don't make some money, you don't know how to live this year."

"That's right~"

The voices of complaints from the team members reached Chen Feng's ears, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

It's common to go out for an adventure and not get anything. It's common for the team members to complain about it.

"stop!"

At this moment, Chen Feng vaguely saw figures moving in the forest ahead, and immediately raised his hand to signal.

Following Chen Feng's signal, the team members immediately stopped talking, and everyone became tense, holding their swords, bows and arrows, muskets and other weapons tightly in their hands.

The crowd didn't wait too long, and soon a large circle of people emerged from the surrounding forest. These people were all wearing clothes made of animal skins, holding bows and arrows, and one of the leaders had a lot of brightly colored scarf sticks on his head. feather.

"Ji Li Gu Lu, Wow Ka Ka Ka ~"

Someone from the other party came closer and chattered.

"Captain, they are asking who are we? Why are we here?"

Some of Chen Feng's team members are proficient in several languages ​​of tribes descended from the Shang Dynasty, and can roughly understand each other's words.

"You tell them that we are the Ming Dynasty expedition team, and we came here to explore without any malice, and then send them some glass products."

Chen Feng immediately gave a slight signal to his team members, telling them not to be too nervous, and he also gave instructions to his subordinates.

"Yes~"

The people under his command who knew the language of the Yin and Shang tribes immediately stepped forward, also chattered, and then delivered some bright glass products.

Hearing this, the other party finally stopped being hostile after seeing the glass products Chen Feng sent, and also put down the bow and arrow in his hand.

Their leader carefully played with the glass product in his hand, and liked it very much, and then he was given some corn, peppers, pumpkins and a deer as gifts in return.

In this way, Chen Feng successfully established a good relationship with this tribe called Masti. Their leader even warmly invited Chen Feng and others to his tribe to rest for a night. Entertaining them also allowed Chen Feng and others to spend the night comfortably.

The next day, Chen Feng's expedition team continued to go north. This time, they hired a member of the Masti tribe as a guide. The commission was very cheap, and they only needed two cups made of glass.

With the guide of the Masti tribe, Chen Feng's expedition team moved forward much more comfortably. The guide of the Masti tribe knew the distribution of the tribes here, and at the same time knew the conditions of every nearby river and lake.

Under his leadership, Chen Feng's expedition team kept looking for gold and silver in rivers and lakes, hoping to get rich overnight.
