Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 296, set off again

Soon the meeting ended, and everyone left one after another and returned to their tents to rest.

Du Mingen took out his thick notebook and began to write:
Thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, this place is completely deserted and uninhabited, but there is a huge amount of wealth stored here.

The river here is full of fish, a kind of red fish, so large that it fills the whole river, so I named it Fish Creek.

There are many types of animals here in Yuxi, and the number is extremely large. There are silly silly deer, who will not be afraid of people when they see them, and snow-white, snow-white foxes. Their fur is extremely beautiful, and there is no stray hair. I think so Once his fur reaches Daming, the nobles in the capital will definitely be crazy about it.

Perhaps it is because the latitude here is too high and the climate is cold. It is estimated that most of the year is snowy, so the fur of the animals here is basically white. The white fox, we call it snow fox.

There are also white sheep, which we call snow sheep. In addition, there is a kind of brown bear, which is huge and good at fishing. There is also a kind of mink in the river, which is very good at fishing.

In addition to these, we also found a gold mine here in Yuxi, a huge gold mine. The entire river is covered with a thick layer of gold sand, and there are dozens of grains of gold sand in just a handful of sand.

The crew members were all deeply attracted by this golden sand river, and they frantically searched for the dog's head gold on the river beach, and some even said that they would stop here and mine gold mines here.

But in the end, after the persuasion of me, Lin Shuhong, and Li Gonggong, everyone was willing to continue to go to Huangjinzhou, and they were not fascinated by the Jinsha River in front of them.

Yuxi, Jinsha River, although it is extremely cold here, and although it is far away from Daming, it is a golden mountain that has not been opened to the public, and wealth is everywhere.

Mr. Liu did not lie to us. The world beyond Daming is indeed vast and contains endless wealth. Yuxi is just the beginning. In the future, I will travel the whole world.

Written on the second day of September in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, the location is Yuxi, thousands of miles away from Daming.

At this time, not only Du Mingen is writing a diary, but many crew members are also writing diaries, writing out everything they encountered today. This is what Tianjin Maritime Academy requires every crew member to do. If it is preserved, it will be an extremely precious historical material, and it will also allow future generations to follow the footsteps of the predecessors and find the treasures discovered by the predecessors.

The fleet is not in a hurry to leave Yuxi. The fleet still needs to stay here for a few days in order to prepare firewood, meat and so on. Du Mingen is very open-minded and allows everyone to go to Jinsha River to pan for gold when they are done with their work. .

This decision also made the crew shout out excitedly.

The crew is very busy every day. The hunting team members hunted silly deer, snow sheep, brown bears, etc., peeled off their fur, and ate the meat that could be eaten. Take it on board to eat, after all, the taste of fish is always inferior to these venison.

At the same time, the crew also found that the red fish in the fish creek is extremely delicious, which is more delicious than most sea fish, so the crew caught a large number of fish in the fish creek, and dried these fish , ready to bring delicious food on board.

Everyone also named this red fish Xiyu, which means the unique fish here in Yuxi.

Well, this can also be regarded as a process of great geographical discovery, giving names to places without names, and giving names to unknown animals. Along the way, they have named many places and also named many new animals.

"Tsk tsk, if this piece of snow fox fur is brought back to the capital, it will probably cost several thousand taels of silver."

Tian Erniu was carefully drying a piece of snow fox fur. It was a piece of fur that he had paid a lot of favors for the hunters on his boat to make it specially for his daughter to grow up and use it as a dowry in the future. dowry.

The monkey next to him was also drying a piece of snow fox fur. His snow fox fur was not finished properly, and there were several ugly holes, he said enviously.

"Even if I give you ten thousand taels of silver, I won't sell it~"

Tian Erniu said with a smile, looking up, there are furs drying everywhere in the camp, including furs of snow foxes, brown bears, silly deer, mink, snow sheep and so on.

Like locusts crossing the border, the crew almost hunted all the animals around Fish Creek, so that some had to go further afield to hunt.

"How about Er Niu discussing something, how about marrying your daughter to my son?"

The monkey rolled his eyes, smiled and said to Tian Erniu.

"You have a good idea. As for your little monkey, let him eat a few catties of meat. Otherwise, even if he marries my daughter, he might be kicked out of bed in the future."

Tian Erniu smiled and said.

"Haha, maybe monkeys are like this~"

"Yes, yes, look at the monkey's body, it must be."

"Monkey, let your son lick his tongue up to his nose, maybe Er Niu will bring his daughter to your house."

When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but burst out laughing happily.

"Go, go, I'm proposing marriage to Er Niu's family, what are you doing?"

Monkey glared at the people around him, and waved his hands again and again. The relationship between the crew members is very good. Many of them are already in-laws. Although the crew members are very young, the children in the family are usually older. Such is the mood of the times.

"Er Niu, think about it, my bag of gold sand will be regarded as a deposit."

The monkey took out a small cloth bag, which contained the gold dust he had collected in the past few days. Almost every crew member had such a bag containing gold sand, and some lucky ones even picked up the dog's head gold.

"Go, go, see if your son can beat my daughter, and you won't be afraid that your son will suffer in the future."

Tian Erniu waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile.

Both of them come from the same village, and the houses they bought in Beijing and Tianjin are also connected together. Naturally, the children of the two families also play together, and it is inevitable that they will fight with each other. Every time the monkey’s son They were all beaten and cried by Tian Erniu's daughter.

"Haha, take good care of your wife, take good care of your wife, Er Niu, we can decide what to say, you can take this bag of gold dust."

When the monkey heard this, he smiled happily and said, handing the gold sand in his hand to Tian Erniu and saying.

"Really give it~"

Tian Erniu was immediately happy. It was extremely difficult to collect the sand. After all, it took a lot of time and effort to collect it one by one. The sand in this area was collected by the monkeys these days.

"Isn't it just a bag of gold sand, it's worth changing a daughter-in-law~"

Monkey said in an air.

"Forget it, forget it, the child is still young, let's talk about it after returning to Daming, not to mention, you kid, ghost spirit, ghost spirit, if you want a bag of gold sand, you can exchange my snow fox fur, and you have to give my precious daughter, Go dreaming."

Tian Erniu said with a smile, and the people around him immediately laughed happily.

"Damn~ You discovered all of this."

The monkey couldn't help but said immediately.

"Haha~"

The people around laughed even more happily.

"Clang~clang~"

At this time, the bell above the camp rang, and it was Du Mingen who called the captain and deputy captain for a meeting.

"Looks like we're about to set off~"

Tian Erniu put down what he was doing and said to the monkey.

In fact, just as Tian Erniu said, Du Mingen convened everyone again and decided to officially leave Yuxi tomorrow, and set off again to continue to the Golden Island.

The next day, the crew got up very early, packed up everything early, and moved all the things that needed to be carried to the ship. With infinite nostalgia and a beautiful yearning for the Golden Island, they left the rich land of Yuxi land, heading towards the Golden Continent.

　It seems that fur is also very expensive now~
