Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 295, Gold

If you want to say something attractive, there is no doubt that it is gold.

The reason why the Golden Continent was able to spread quickly was mainly because Liu Jin boasted that there was gold everywhere in the Golden Continent.

Everyone likes gold, from emperors and nobles to ordinary people. Since ancient times, it has been the same at all times and in all over the world, because gold symbolizes wealth.

As someone called out gold, the entire camp exploded.

A large part of the motivation for the crew to go to the Golden Isle is gold. Countless people dream of going to the Golden Isle to dig a ship of gold back.

They were not Emperor Hongzhi, they had their own hearts in mind, and they would not say that they had such lofty ideals, that they would go to the Golden Continent to introduce good seeds for the food of the people all over the world.

The only thing that can persuade them to work hard and travel thousands of miles to the Golden Island is the white silver and the shining gold.

There is still a long distance from the Golden Continent, but it was unexpected that gold was found in such a place.

Du Mingen, Tian Erniu and others were all alarmed, as were the eunuchs who followed the fleet to the Golden Island. Everyone crowded together and looked at the crew member holding a piece of dog's head gold in his hand.

"Mr. Du~"

Tu Wa looked at the crowd nervously, then handed the dog's head gold to Du Mingen.

"Well, let me see~"

Du Mingen took it over and looked at it carefully. This piece of dog's head gold weighed more than a dozen catties. Such a large piece of dog's head gold was very rare. It was uneven and there were some dirt on it, but it could be said with certainty that it was gold. .

"It's gold~"

Du Mingen looked at it carefully and said with certainty.

"Haha~"

"Yeah~"

When the surrounding crew heard this, they couldn't help shouting excitedly.

"Get rich, get rich~"

"Gold mines have been discovered before reaching the Golden Continent~"

"I don't know how many gold mines there are~"

The crew members were ecstatic, because according to the current rules, [-]% of all the income from going to sea, after deducting the cost, belonged to them, the crew who went to sea. Whether they went to North Korea or went fishing in the past, Liu Jin never There is no cheating on them in this regard, and every time they go to sea, every crew member can get their own piece of the cake.

This trip to Golden Island, Liu Jin even made an agreement with us that [-]% of the income this time belongs to the crew, which is a very large proportion.

"Let's go, brothers, let's go and see~"

Du Mingen returned the Goutoujin to Tuwa, and said with a big wave of his hand.

Tu Wa took the dog's head gold and led the way, followed by the mighty crowd towards the place Tu Wa said.

The place where Tuwa found Goutoujin was also very close to the camp, only a few kilometers away. It was also in a river, but it was not a tributary of Yuxi River. The water volume of this river was smaller and much gentler.

Du Mingen and the others followed Tuwa through a hill, and the field of vision in front of them suddenly became wider, and a golden river appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Wow~"

Everyone looked at the golden river, and couldn't help opening their mouths. It was the first time they had seen this kind of golden river. If the Tuwa hadn't said that the river was full of sand, they didn't know why. What's going on.

"It's all gold~It's all gold~"

Several teammates of Tuwa are still beside the river at this time, looking for the dog head gold excitedly, grabbing a handful of river sand from time to time to rummage through it for gold sand.

Seeing the arrival of the large army, they immediately cried out excitedly.

No need for Du Mingen to say anything, everyone rushed towards the golden river at a speed of [-] meters. When they came to the river, everyone was not afraid of the cold water, and went down the river to scoop up sand and look for gold.

The same is true for Tian Erniu. He came to the river and picked up a handful of river sand with both hands. There are many laser-shining gravels in the river sand. These are all golden sands, which are extremely rich in content. Dozens of grains can be found in a handful of river sand. Sands.

"Get rich~ get rich~"

Tian Erniu came to Du Mingen's side holding the sand, and said excitedly.

In Tianjin Maritime Academy, Liu Jin specially handed them things like gold mines and silver mines, so Tian Erniu knew very well that if the whole river is like this, then this is a Jinsha River. You will get rich.

"This content, the value is incredible~"

Du Mingen counted carefully. He is well-informed and has seen people look at gold mines before. The number of gold mines in Daming is very small, and the output is very limited. Often a load of sand can't wash out a few gold sands. But in the river in front of him, he casually grabbed a handful of sand, and there were dozens of grains of gold sand in it. The content of this gold mine was too high, and the river in front of him was undoubtedly extremely easy to mine.

"Haha, dog head gold, dog head gold~"

"I found one too~"

Here, the crew members were constantly rummaging for stones on the river beach, and from time to time someone shouted excitedly.

……

In the camp here at night, in the biggest tent, Du Mingen is calling everyone for a meeting. The captain and deputy captain of each ship, as well as the eunuch Li Gonggong sent by Emperor Hongzhi, and Liu Jin's student Lin Shuhong, more than [-] people Crowded together, everyone's faces could not hide the look of excitement.

"Let's talk about it, everyone~"

Du Mingen looked at the crowd and said.

"What else do you need to say, of course the mine has been opened. The gold mine of a river is enough for each of us to make a fortune."

Someone said immediately.

"That's right, it is necessary to mine. The gold mines in this Jinsha River are too rich, and we have made a fortune."

Someone followed suit.

"I think everyone should calm down first, and don't lose your eyes by the gold mine in front of you."

Lin Shuhong thought for a while and said.

His words were like a bucket of cold water pouring on everyone's hearts, and everyone calmed down immediately. Only then did they remember that their task was to go to the Golden Continent to introduce good seeds back to the Golden Continent.

"First, our mission is to go to the Golden Isle, not to mine here. His Majesty is still waiting for us to bring back the good seeds of the Golden Isle, so that everyone in Daming can have enough food."

Lin Shuhong's words also made everyone nod solemnly, especially Eunuch Li. His mission was to supervise whether the fleet went to the Golden Continent according to the original plan, and whether they tried their best to find good seeds and introduce them back to Daming.

"Second, we don't have the tools to mine gold at all. Should we mine it grain by grain by hand?"

"Third, there is no one in Jinxi here. Although we carry a lot of living supplies, we can't last for a long time."

"Fourth, Jinxi has a high dimension and low temperature. Now we can hold on, but after a while, when winter begins, how can we survive here?"

Lin Shuhong articulated his point of view in an orderly manner, which also awakened everyone present, and they all couldn't help sighing.

"Isn't this going to Jinshan and returning empty-handed?"

"That's right, you have to bring some gold back anyway, right?"

"A golden sand river~"

Everyone was not reconciled, and they entered Jinshan and returned empty-handed.

"Don't you feel reconciled?"

Lin Shuhong smiled and said: "We haven't reached the Golden Continent yet, but there is already so much gold. When we get to the Golden Continent, there will be gold everywhere. Are you afraid that there will be no gold?"

"I'm afraid that at that time, our worry is whether our ship can hold it."

"That's right, the Golden Continent is full of gold, are you afraid that there will be no gold?"

After listening to Lin Shuhong's words, everyone's eyes lit up again.

Du Mingen and Eunuch Li looked at each other, then coughed lightly and said: "Brothers, sooner or later the gold here will be ours, and when we return to Daming from the Golden Continent, we will organize people to come here to mine gold. Everyone guarantees that everyone has a share of the gold here."

"I also want to assure everyone that everyone has a share in the Golden Continent here."

Eunuch Li also followed suit, his words represented the words of Emperor Hongzhi, everyone believed them, and immediately everyone laughed happily again.

"The temperature here is too low. If you come here to mine gold in the future, you can only come here in the hottest months."

"At that time, we will build a small town here in Yuxi. Not only can we mine gold, but we can also hunt fur. There are many kinds of animals here, and the fur is basically pure white. It can be transported back to our Daming. It’s very valuable.”

"Yes, yes, after we return from the Golden Continent, we will come here to mine gold again, slowly mining~"

"This secret can't be known to outsiders, we big guys don't want to spread it."

"Nonsense, only fools will spread it, when the time comes."

Everyone talked excitedly about building a small town in Fish Creek for gold mining, fur hunting and so on.

Du Mingen, Eunuch Li, and Lin Shuhong looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the crew would not continue to go to the Gold Island because they were nostalgic for the gold mine here.

In this lawless place far away from Ming Dynasty, the binding force of many things became very weak.

But fortunately, after the efforts of the three of them, everyone saw the situation clearly, and did not say that they must stay and open the gold mine.

　There will be stories here in Yuxi~
