Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1712, Great Plains
Three months later, the oil drilling team led by Wen Yongzheng and Xiao Yan dragged their tired bodies on the vast Great Plains, heading towards the direction of the Sibi River in the Great Plains.

In a few months, the daily necessities they carried have been exhausted, and they are quite tired, and they need to take a good rest.

Of course, after a few months, they have also gained a lot. They have discovered more than a dozen oil fields, and they need to rule the commercial bank and go to the state capital of Texas to buy all these oily places.

The convoy is constantly advancing, and Wen Yongzheng is watching around with a telescope.

The great plain in front of me is very open and vast, the land is extremely flat and the vegetation is lush, it is perfect for grazing.

And everywhere you can see herds of bison, herds of deer, herds of wild sheep, and even a lot of grizzly bears, the most of which are bison.

This kind of bison is huge in size. The adult bison weighs over a thousand catties and has an extremely hot temper. It can be found in almost every corner of the North Golden Continent.

Except for the descendants of the Shang Dynasty, they hardly have any natural enemies. Even if the Ming people use bows, arrows and muskets to hunt them, the effect is often very mediocre. They have rough skin and thick flesh, and come in groups. They were trampled to death directly.

"Before coming here, I have heard that there are three magnificent landscapes in the Golden Continent. The North Golden Continent Great Plain has a vast and boundless area, extending from Penglai Bay to the extreme north, and extending to the Great Lakes region."

"The land is fertile and the water tanks are beautiful. Whether it is used for farming or grazing, it is extremely suitable. It is definitely the place of choice."

"There is also the large rainforest in the South Golden Continent. The area of ​​the large rainforest is extremely large. Whether it is tree species, animal species, or fish in the large rainforest river, it is the place with the largest number in the world."

"It is said that no one has explored the Great Rainforest so far. Some people say that there is a super large gold mine hidden in the depths of the Great Rainforest. If you can find it, you will definitely get rich overnight, but the conditions in the Great Rainforest are too difficult. There is no way to survive in it."

"The other one is the southernmost prairie in Nanjinzhou. The water and grass are extremely lush. It is said that even ordinary cattle and sheep will become bigger and stronger wherever they go. It is said that the water and grass are the most suitable places for cattle, sheep and horses to grow. , the cattle, sheep and horses produced have now been exported to African colonies and vassal states.”

Looking at the vast plain in front of him and the huge herd of bison on the plain, Wen Yongzheng couldn't help sighing.

Such a phenomenon would never be seen on the local side of Daming.

In the mainland of Ming Dynasty, how could there be a huge herd of bison in the tens of thousands?

He was already caught by the Ming people, or he was eaten clean.

But in this magical and ancient land, the buffalo herd is just the most common species, the number is extremely huge, there may be tens of millions of them, more than the people here on the Golden Isle.

The annual migratory fish schools here at Qianhekou, when the season comes, in the huge low-lying swamps and river areas near Qianhekou, the number of migratory fish schools is so large that it is difficult to calculate, so that all rivers are blocked. .

In the fishing grounds in the ocean near the northern border, there are so many fish that if you cast a net casually, your net will explode.

This is Huangjinzhou. It not only has countless gold and silver mines, but also has vast and fertile land and endless resources. There is no hunger here. Corn and sweet potatoes are produced here. Find a piece of land , Sprinkle some corn planting, and you will have endless corn.

Sell ​​the sweet potato vines into the land, and in autumn, you will have endless sweet potatoes. Even if you don't want to farm, you can easily get enough food by hunting.

Bison, wild deer, and wild sheep can be seen everywhere, and hunting can't be finished.

"Yeah, I've also heard about the wealth of the Golden Continent."

"Only when you really come to the Golden Island, you can feel the wealth of the Golden Island. The vast land is uncultivated, the countless wild animals are hunted, the sea fish is uncaught, and even ginseng grows here. Like a carrot."

Xiao Yan also sighed.

"Now I understand why Liu Gong insisted on monopolizing the Golden Continent. Wouldn't it be a waste of money if someone else took over such a treasure land?"

"Yes, this is indeed a gift from God to us Daming people."

The two walked forward while chatting.

"There are herdsmen ahead, nomads ahead~"

At this time, some people who had accepted came to report in a hurry.

When Wen Yongzheng and Xiao Yan heard this, they immediately regained their energy. They hurriedly rode their horses to look forward, and saw sheep flocks appearing on the vast plain, and a stretch of yurts could be seen.

"Haha, let's go, let's eat mutton today!"

When Wen Yongzheng saw it, he couldn't help laughing with joy. After several months of drilling in the wilderness, he was already tired of eating the food he brought.

Now seeing the herdsmen, he burst out laughing with joy.

The crowd rode their horses and rushed towards the place where the herdsmen graze.

Borot is a Mongolian who moved to the Great Plains of the North Golden Continent a few years ago in response to the imperial court's call, where he continued to live a nomadic life.

He is quite satisfied with the life here. At first, he was a little uncomfortable, but he gradually discovered the benefits of this vast land.

The water and grass here are rich and the land is vast, which is very suitable for grazing, and there are not too many grassland herdsmen here, so everyone can graze freely without worrying about entering the territory of other tribes.

Moreover, it is also very close to Penglai Bay, and the temperature is relatively high, unlike the Mongolian grassland, which is very cold in winter. Here, there is no need to worry about the white hair wind in winter.

Of course, the only worry is to worry about the Yin-Shang tribe here. Some of these Yin-Shang tribes are very xenophobic, very barbaric and violent.

However, this is nothing to the Mongols who are grassland peoples. Horseback riding and archery are the specialty of the grassland people. More importantly, the Ming court has been severely cracking down on those tribes that are hostile to the Ming people. .

The [-] garrison of the Ming Empire on the Golden Continent is mainly to attack those tribes that are hostile to the Ming Empire. Under their raids, fewer and fewer tribes dare to be hostile to the Ming people, and more are willing to recognize and accept the Ming people. tribe.

More and more tribes are beginning to believe that they and the Ming people are one family and have a common ancestor. They were just punished by the gods and exiled to this land. What they need to do is to continue to atone for their sins so that they can become the sun god people.

This also makes life easier for the Mongolians grazing on the Great Plains, and they don't need to worry too much.

Even because of the rich water and grass here, their grazing becomes easier. Cattle, sheep and horses can eat on a piece of land for a long time. They only need to move a few times in a year. Become very fat.

"someone is coming?"

At this time, he also noticed Wen Yongzheng, Xiao Yan and others coming towards him, picked up the binoculars and looked carefully, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that they were from Daming.

Here in the Golden Continent, you can often meet some adventurous Ming people. These Ming people are fully armed and looking for gold and silver in this ancient land.

Often when they return, they will be in tatters and look extremely embarrassed.

But you don't have to worry about the people of Ming Dynasty going against you. These people of Ming Dynasty are all rich people. Even the worst people have thousands of acres of land and dozens of slaves on the plain.

Adventure is a unique spirit of Ming people in this land!
"Guests from afar, I don't know where you come from?"

Soon, Wen Yongzheng, Xiao Yan and others came to Bo Luot's side, and Bo Luot asked politely in his not-so-fluent Daming dialect.

"Friends on the prairie, we are the exploration team of the Daming Petroleum Company in Penglai City. We are exploring for oil here in Desa State. Now we are going back to resupply. We just met you and want to buy some sheep from you."

Wen Yongzheng also said hastily.

"No problem at all, guests from afar, please come with me~"

When Borot heard it, he also warmly welcomed it.

Originally, if there were few people, according to the rules of the prairie people, they should be entertained graciously, but there are too many people on the other side, there is obviously no way, only a few people in the lead can be entertained.

Soon, when they came to the yurt where Boluote and other grassland people lived, they learned that there were guests coming, and other people also came over one after another.

The nomadic life is like this. Many times, you won’t see any outsiders for ten days and a half months. When someone comes, everyone will naturally gather around curiously. People are like this, they like to be lively and like to gather.

After Wen Yongzheng paid the money, his subordinates and slaves began to kill sheep and cook mutton to eat. As for Wen Yongzheng, Xiao Yan and others, they started chatting with Boluote and others.

While chatting, you can also enjoy the roasted whole sheep, and you can also drink the local wine in Huangjinzhou. Wine is also very cheap here in Huangjinzhou, because the grain production here is too large to be eaten up. A large amount of grain is also used to make wine. In order to increase the value, it is exported to Europe, African colonies and vassal states and other places.

Drinking and being happy, getting excited, and picking up the Matouqin, while playing the old sad tune, but this tune seems to have changed after reaching the Golden Island, and it has become much more cheerful. There is less sadness, and more carefree, just like everyone in front of me.
