Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1610, Rich Siberia
"Drive~Drive~"

Hundreds of fast horses galloped across the vast Siberian plains, and the leader was Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed in a strong suit. He was short-clothed and shorts, with a machete pinned to his waist, and a bow and arrow on his back. There are crossbows and muskets.

Some of the guards around him followed Zhu Houzhao closely, protecting him all the time, while others were looking for prey for His Royal Highness to hunt.

"Your Highness, this is Siberia. It is extremely vast and rich in products. The prey here is definitely the most, and many of them are large prey."

Beside Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Cai followed closely. Relying on the few beauties he collected, he successfully approached Zhu Houzhao, and even encouraged Zhu Houzhao to come to the Siberian Plain to hunt.

"Yeah~"

Zhu Houzhao came to a hill, stopped slowly, and looked up at the vast wilderness in front of him.

The clear stream winding down from the snow-capped mountains in the distance is like jade belts, criss-crossing the vast wilderness. At the foot of the mountain is a vast virgin forest. The unique tree species in the frigid zone are lush and verdant in midsummer.

Nearby is the grassland full of flowers. The flowers of various colors form a beautiful sea of ​​flowers, and the water and grass are lush. You can see a large number of deer living freely, and the strong male deer collide with each other.

The land is desolate but full of vitality. From time to time, there are bears roaring, wolves howling, and foxes playing and fighting in the distance. The picture is extremely beautiful!

"It's really beautiful!"

Zhu Hou looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and couldn't help admiring immediately.

Along the way, he has seen a lot of various beautiful scenery, but the Siberian Plain in front of him has a different kind of beauty.

Everything here seems to be in full bloom in this midsummer, racing against time to enjoy the short midsummer and the warm sunshine.

"Your Highness, this summer in Siberia is the most beautiful summer I have ever seen."

"Don't look at how cold it is in winter, everything is frozen in ice, but in summer, everything is revived and full of vitality."

"There are nearly a hundred species of animals in this vast Siberian plain, including arctic deer, sable, fox, beaver, wolf, bear, lynx, roe deer, rabbit, marmot, tiger, etc. Many of these animals are extremely precious, and the fur they produce is extremely expensive.”

"Like a sable, a complete sable fur is priced as high as five hundred taels of silver even here in Winter City, but when it comes to the capital, a sable coat is absolutely impossible to buy without a few thousand taels of silver. "

"In addition to various animals, there are dozens of precious fish species in the vast Siberian rivers and lakes, such as sturgeon, pike, burbot, perch, etc., all of which are cold-water fish. The meat is extremely delicious, and there are very few bones. It is a high-quality product. Your Highness is here, but you must try it. I have ordered people to catch it, and we can enjoy it when we return to Cold Winter City."

"There are also more than 300 kinds of birds flying in the sky, such as golden eagles, swans, wild ducks, gray herons, loons, sea eagles, etc., in midsummer, everywhere in Siberia In the lake, it can be seen everywhere, in groups, and the number is very large."

"In addition to the animal resources in the vast Siberia region, the forest resources are even more remarkable. Birch, rowan, red pine, aspen, fir, spruce, etc., are all excellent wood, which can be used to make furniture or shipbuilding It's all excellent material."

"It's just that Siberia is uninhabited, and the winter is too cold, too long, and transportation is inconvenient. Therefore, even if such a treasure house is guarded, it is difficult to develop here in Siberia."

Zhang Cai pointed to the vast Siberian Plain in front of him, and introduced the resources of the Siberian Plain to Zhu Houzhao in detail.

"Sounds like a nice place."

Zhu Houzhao nodded while listening.

"Your Highness, of course it is a good place."

"This Siberia not only has all kinds of animals and trees, but also a lot of various minerals. At present, we have discovered coal mines around the city of Winter, and I heard that some people have discovered gold mines, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Zhang Cai nodded solemnly.

When he came here, he studied it carefully. Although there are fewer people here and it is indeed too cold in winter, the place is indeed a good place.

The meat here is very cheap, and all kinds of wild animal resources are too rich. There are so many fish in the river, and you can cast a net one by one, and it is all good cold water. The fish is delicious and has no bones.

It's not like the local customs of Daming. The fish in the river are very rare, basically crucian carp, carp, silver carp and the like. The meat quality is not good, and there are a lot of bones.

"There are gold mines here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Of course there is. The vast Siberian plain has everything. I heard that the gold mines are mainly in the Altai Mountains. Every year, many people from the Western Regions enter the vast Altai Mountains to search for gold."

Zhang Cai said very seriously: "Now everyone only knows that there are gold mines in Huangjinzhou, but they don't know that the gold mines in Siberia are not much less than those in Huangjinzhou. It's just that it's too cold here, it's extremely difficult to mine, and there are no people there. Just to investigate."

"In that case, this Siberia is a treasure house bestowed on us by God?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly. Although Daming got Siberia, he still knew very little about it.

When the northern grasslands of Ming Dynasty reached the Beihai area, even the herdsmen seldom went north to nomad, because it was too cold. In winter, it was icy and snowy, and the wind was bitter. Almost all the herdsmen were white-haired winds. The most cold-resistant herdsmen There is no way to survive in these areas.

No one knows how many resources there are in this vast Siberia, but some people have come to a conclusion after exploring all the way north.

That is, there is an extremely vast area and land all the way to the north, and it can even extend all the way to the Arctic Circle.

For this vast land, the Ming people still know too little, too little.

"Yes, Your Highness, this is definitely the treasure house bestowed on us by the heavens."

"Even if we have no way to develop this place now, our descendants may be able to develop it in a few hundred years."

Zhang Cai nodded solemnly. She used to be just a pedantic imperial censor who didn't care about anything other than Ming Dynasty, but was relegated to Cold Winter City. After learning about it in detail here.

Only then did he realize that the world is so big, there are countless vast and fertile lands, and the local side of Daming is actually quite ordinary.

"Boom~ boom!"

At this time, in the sky not far away, a burst of fireworks shot up into the sky and sounded in the sky.

"Your Highness, there are prey here!"

It turned out that Zhu Houzhao's guards had surrounded a group of prey and were notifying Zhu Houzhao to go hunting.

"Haha, let's go, hunting!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he rode his horse and galloped over quickly. While riding the horse, he began to bend his bow and take an arrow.
