Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1111, restless explorers
"There is no way around this. Compared to the west coast, the east coast of Gold Island is too barren. So far, few gold and silver mines have been found. Naturally, it is difficult to attract people to settle on the east coast. of."

"If it weren't for the fact that it's relatively close to Europe, I'm afraid Penglai City wouldn't be able to develop so fast."

When Du Li heard Li Zheng's words, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Actually, apart from gold and silver mines, the east coast of Gold Island is more suitable for immigrants."

"The climate here is humid, the precipitation is abundant, the land is fertile, and the platform is open. To the north of Penglai Bay is an endless plain and a long river."

"With such superior conditions, to be honest, even [-] million or [-] million immigrants are not too many, and they can be easily accommodated."

"There is also the South Golden Continent. In addition to the huge tropical rainforest, the vast southern plateau is also fertile, and the southernmost part has the best pastures in the world. These are suitable for immigration."

"It's just that now everyone comes to Golden Island for gold and silver, so now the west coast is developing better."

"What you said makes sense. If the west coast wants to develop, it still needs something like gold and silver to attract people to immigrate."

"The mahogany in South Golden Continent is a good thing, but it's far less attractive than gold and silver."

Li Zheng smiled and nodded.

The two kept chatting about the map of the Golden Continent.

While the two were chatting about the development and planning of the Golden Continent, someone hurried in.

"My lord, good news, good news~"

"What good news?"

When Li Zheng heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Is there another big gold mine discovered somewhere?"

"My lord, it's not a gold mine, but it's no worse than a gold mine."

"There is news from Beijing Town that an expedition team has discovered a large amount of ginseng in the north, including many century-old ginseng with extremely high value."

"And today in Penglai City, someone sold more than [-] ginseng plants at one time at Daming Ocean Trading Co., and there are thousands of ginseng plants that are only [-] years old."

The visitor said hurriedly.

"Northern?"

"Ginseng?"

"Centennial ginseng?"

"More than [-] plants?"

When Li Zheng and Du Li heard this, their eyes widened slightly, and they quickly found the northernmost place on the east coast on the map.

"it's here!"

Du Li pointed to a point on the map and said.

"So many ginsengs were discovered at once, which means that there should be a lot of ginseng here in the north."

"Ginseng is a precious Chinese herbal medicine. If it is not done well, it can indeed become another blockbuster product of our Golden Continent."

Li Zheng looked at the position on the map and said with bright eyes.

"Haha, in our Ming Dynasty, ginseng is only produced in Liaodong and North Korea, and because of the huge market demand, the price of ginseng is constantly rising."

"I didn't expect to find ginseng on the Golden Continent, and now there are finally some good products on the east coast."

……

Penglai City, with the end of the new year approaching, the expedition teams who explored all over the Golden Continent basically returned to Penglai City to prepare for the New Year.

The expedition team walked on the vast land of the Golden Isle, looking for wealth and enjoying the fun of exploration.

Accompanied by their return, the entire Penglai City is filled with large and small teahouses, restaurants, brothels, Chuguan, etc. They are everywhere.

Penglai Building is one of the most famous restaurants in Penglai City. At this moment, the business of the entire Penglai Building is extremely hot, covering a huge area. The five-story Penglai City is full of gluttonous guests.

These guests are basically explorers, and while drinking and eating meat, they are bragging to each other about their wonderful adventures abroad.

"You don't know, the gold mine we discovered this year is called a gold mine~"

"Fist-sized dog's head gold can be seen everywhere. Each of us carried hundreds of catties back, and the whole river bed was covered with gold sand as big as a bean. If you fish it casually, you don't know how much there is."

"Your third master, I really lost my temper this time."

A third master stood up and bragged to the people around him. The people around knew he was bragging, but they listened with gusto.

The story of the explorer and the story of getting rich overnight will never decline in this land. Every year, many people get rich overnight because of the discovery of gold and silver mines.

Whether you are an adventurer or not, you like to hear people tell these things, and people like the third master like to brag about your adventure stories. Almost every day, people tell their adventure stories in this Penglai building.

Explorers from almost the entire Penglai city gathered here, especially at the end of the year, when there were even more people.

"boast?"

"I need to brag?"

"This time I came back, I took five concubines at once, and bought seven European women, and I plan to build a big manor, and I will buy some slaves at that time. Be a landlord and old fortune at home."

"Just you, can you bear it?"

"Cut, I can't take it, just kidding, don't look at who I am, I have more than a dozen children, do you think I can take it?"

"I heard that European women are very tasteful, so you can do it."

"The smell is a bit strong, but washing with soap is enough. The key is that this European woman has fair skin and big buttocks, so she is very fertile."

Inside the restaurant, many explorers are constantly bragging to each other.

At this time, someone hurriedly came to the restaurant and shouted loudly: "Big news, big news~"

"An expedition team discovered ginseng here in Beijing Town. Just today, an expedition team sold tens of thousands of ginseng plants at Daming Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. for more than [-] taels of silver. Maybe it’s always been that price)~”

"what?"

"true or false?"

"What is ginseng?"

"Where is the northern border?"

"More than two hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Hearing this person's words, the whole Penglai Building was about to explode.

A large number of explorers quickly gathered people around, and you quickly asked each other one sentence at a time.

"That's all I know, everyone hurry up and inquire about the news."

"I heard that an expedition team is already preparing supplies and manpower to go to the northern border. If you go late by then, you won't be able to get anything."

The visitor was surrounded by many explorers, and quickly added again.

Hearing his words, the explorers who had gathered in the Penglai Building to drink and brag immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, and each of them started looking for someone to find out the news.

Soon, the whole Penglai City knew the news.

In Beijing Town, the northernmost part of the east coast, an expedition team discovered a large amount of ginseng, which is a valuable Chinese medicinal material. A single ginseng can be sold for a few taels of silver.

Judging from the current information, there seems to be a large amount of ginseng in the northern border. The expedition sold more than [-] ginseng plants at one time, and obtained more than [-] taels of silver at one time.

More than two hundred thousand taels of silver, this is an incomparably huge number.

Even though there are many rich people in Penglai City, and many explorers have a lot of wealth, but obtaining such a huge number at one time still detonated the entire Penglai City.

In the whole city of Penglai, from managers and merchants of commercial firms to ordinary people, almost everyone was discussing ginseng and the northern border.

Just like discovering a large gold mine or a large silver mine in a certain place in the past, it became the focus and center of everyone's discussion almost instantly.

In a city where explorers live, the hottest topic is naturally this kind of sudden wealth.

There are too many, too many explorers here, too many, too many people who dream of getting rich overnight, and they come here from a long distance, just to pursue wealth.

Every time there is news, it will detonate the hot spots of everyone and attract countless people to participate in it.

At the same time, amidst the constant discussion among the people, the explorers of Penglai City have already started to act. A large number of explorers bid farewell to their families in a hurry, and left Penglai City with their team members on a boat heading north. Head to the North, in search of fortune.

Exploring this kind of thing is often fruitless.

Therefore, many expedition teams still have a hard time even when it is Chinese New Year. They can only drink dull wine and listen to people like the third master constantly bragging.

At the same time, I also pay close attention to all the useful beliefs, hoping to learn some useful things from others, so that I can have more goals when I explore next year, and maybe I can succeed in one fell swoop.

Now that they heard the news about ginseng from the northern border, these expedition teams naturally embarked on the road of treasure hunting again in a hurry.

Expedition teams assembled here in Penglai City, and horses, food, weapons, and equipment were continuously transported to the pier, and then several expedition teams chartered a boat together and hurriedly left Penglai City.

In addition to a large number of expeditions, there are also many businessmen who serve the expeditions, and they are like sharks that smell blood.

Started to quickly mobilize the supply of goods, and hurriedly sent people to Beijing Town here, preparing to make a good profit here in Beijing next year.

Some large commercial firms even sent personnel to the northern border to set up offices in the northern border.

Naturally, the value of ginseng is needless to say. If the northern border is rich in ginseng, these trading houses naturally cannot miss such a sale.

In particular, it is said that there are a lot of century-old ginsengs in the northern border. These century-old ginsengs are of great value. If they are transported back to Daming, they can make a lot of money casually. Merchants and firms are naturally unwilling to let go of this good opportunity to make money.

All of a sudden, the entire Penglai City became restless again, and the northern border ushered in a large number of explorers in the cold wind.
