Fish Creek.

The Jinsha River is just a few miles away from the Fish Creek colonial stronghold.

Zhang Fu looked at the glittering Jinsha River, and his whole face was filled with a smile that could not be hidden.

The Taiping Marquis Du Mingen did not lie.

There are really gold mines here, and the yield of gold mines is very high, and this Jinsha River is covered with a thick layer of golden sand.

If you take the tools of the gold mine and wash them in the river casually, you can wash out a lot of golden sand.

With such a rich gold mine, this is absolutely unprecedented.

"Hurry up, hurry up~"

"Let's work hard to build our camp as soon as possible, and after that, we can start panning for gold."

"I'll put the ugly words in front of me, the gold here is not only the gold of the owner, but also the gold of today's son and the current court."

"Everyone is doing things here, you are doing your duty to pan for gold, your wages are definitely a lot, your food is absolutely full, and you have meat at a time, so that you can eat fat and strong one by one."

"But don't have any crooked thoughts about things that aren't your own, or don't blame me for being ruthless then."

Zhang Fu was in the camp next to the Jinsha River, and while walking, he also held a loudspeaker and began to shout continuously.

I have just arrived here without everyone, and I have already found a lot of dog's head gold here in the riverbed.

These dog-headed gold are also a few taels, and the heavy dog-headed gold is even several catties, and some people go to the river to dig sand and build houses when they dig up the dog's head gold, which shows how rich the gold mine here is.

Therefore, Zhang Fu's side is also focused on explaining.

"Yes~"

Hearing Zhang Fu's words, many working guys hurriedly replied in unison.

When they came here to pan for gold, the owner gave each of them a sky-high price of 10 taels of silver per month, and the owner also promised that when the time came, they would buy some women from the Japanese country and North Korea, so that everyone could solve their problems.

The only requirement for such conditions is that everyone comes here to do their duty, which can be said to be very good for them.

"Let's work, and strive to mine the first batch of gold in the next few days, and bring it back to Daming with a few ships to show the owner."

Zhang Fu nodded with satisfaction and said loudly.

Because the interests of many parties are involved, the Ming Emperor sent a little eunuch here, and the household department of the Ming Dynasty also sent a six-grade official over, and the crew members who went to the Golden Continent last year also formed a trading house, and some guys were also sent over.

These people who were sent over, they came to monitor and see if Zhang Fu and other miners concealed it or wanted to steal gold.

Zhang Fu is also cautious in doing things, and tries to be open and fair as much as possible, so that everyone has nothing to say.

Judging from the current situation, the gold reserves here are very amazing, far more than any gold mine in Daming, and it can even be said that the gold mines in Daming are not even one-tenth of the output of this gold mine.

There is no way, the gold and silver production of the Ming Dynasty is very small, and many times since ancient times it has relied on external inputs.

As Zhang Fu's words fell, everyone was busy again.

This time, there were a lot of people who came to mine gold, and the Sangong Commercial Bank also united with several powerful commercial banks to win the mining rights here, organized more than a dozen large ships to come over, and brought nearly 2,000 people.

In addition to bringing enough manpower, there are also a lot of materials brought over.

Tian Erniu is organizing people to build the Yuxi stronghold, and Zhang Fu is also organizing thousands of people to build the Yuxi Gold Mine here.

Because there is a long time to mine gold here, there are many things that need to be prepared.

It's a high-dimensional place, and the summer time is very short, and in the autumn, it gets cold, and there may be no way to mine the gold here.

In winter, the river is frozen and the cold climate causes all personnel to be evacuated.

In total, the time it takes to mine gold here is probably only about five months.

Time is of the essence.

Fortunately, the gold mines here are very rich, and you can grab dozens of grains of gold if you grab a handful of sand, and even in a few months, you can mine enough gold.

Zhang Fu saw that everyone was busy, and he also nodded with satisfaction.

Look at the Jinsha River, sparkling in the sunlight, shimmering with a charming golden light.

There is so much gold in the riverbed, which is why there is such gold.

"It's so beautiful~"

Zhang Fu's face showed a smile.

Looking further afield, the snow-capped mountains are covered from high to low, with snow-covered areas at the top, dense grass in the middle, and tall primeval jungles at the foot of the mountains.

Everywhere you can see herds of deer, snow-white foxes, eagles soaring with wings in the sky, and occasionally a huge bear with its cubs desperately eating, as if preparing for the arrival of winter.

The scenery here is indeed very beautiful, the magic of nature, the beauty of nature, makes people feel refreshed, and can't help but want to sing a song.

"Zhang Fu~"

At this time, Tian Erniu's voice sounded not far away.

Zhang Fu hurriedly looked over.

"Captain Tian~"

Zhang Fu said with a smile.

"Haha, how's it going?"

"I'm not lying to you, the gold mines here are very rich, and I just got a small bag of golden gold here after two days of casual shopping."

Tian Erniu looked at the golden Jinsha River in front of him and said with a smile.

"No, no~"

Zhang Fu suddenly shook his head in embarrassment.

"You have to hurry, in a few months, it will be very cold here, and then the water will be too cold, there will be no way to pan for gold."

Tian Erniu smiled, and then admonished.

"I know~"

Zhang Fu nodded and said.

In fact, he can already clearly feel that it is June, which is the height of summer, but it is not hot here, the climate is very cool, and he knows that it will definitely be very cold in autumn and winter.

"Well, tomorrow I'm going to leave for the Golden Continent again, and you can help take care of this fish stream stronghold at that time."

Tian Erniu thought for a while and said: "The cement may not be enough, go back to your side and ask someone to write back to Yinshan County, find Tongyuan, the county magistrate of Yinshan County, and ask him to send more cement over." ”

"In addition, although there are no people here, I personally think that it is better to build a fort here at the mouth of the Yuxi River and put a few cannons, just in case."

Tian Erniu said while Zhang Fu also silently wrote it down.

"Okay, in a few days, those ships will return to Yinshan County, and then I will have someone bring the letter back."

Zhang Fu nodded and agreed.

Then he thought about it and asked: "The gold mine in this Yuxi is indeed good, I wonder if the gold mine in this Golden Continent is similar to here?" ”

"Haha, the Golden Continent is full of gold, and there are many gold mines like Yuxi in the Golden Continent, if you are free in the future, you might as well go to the Golden Continent to take a look, and you will know."

When Tian Erniu heard this, he immediately laughed.

His words also made Zhang Fu half-convinced, is this Golden Continent really full of gold?

Soon, two days passed in a flash.

The fleet on Tian Erniu's side set sail again, continued to move northeast, and sailed towards the Golden Continent.

There are still more than 20 large ships left here in Fish Creek.

These ships are the big ships of the major trading houses that mine gold, and they also have many tasks.

In the next few months, these ships will continue to travel back and forth between Yinshan County and Yuxi, and continue to bring more supplies to Yuxi.

At the same time, it is also the gold ore mined here in Yuxi to transport the Ming Dynasty.

The mining camp was built haphazardly, as the miners would choose to return to the Fish Creek stronghold at night.

There are bears here, which means that it is still very dangerous.

After two days of construction, the Fish Creek stronghold already looks like a small town.

Even on the flat land not far away, the industrious Ming people once again exerted their excellent genes inherited from their ancestors.

Fields have been reclaimed, vegetable patches have been carved out of the black soil, and vegetable seeds have been sown, and fresh vegetables may be eaten after a while.

If it weren't for the time, it is estimated that wheat would be planted here.

With the departure of the large army, Yuxi suddenly became much quieter.

Originally, there were more than 100,000 people on thousands of large ships, and the entire fish stream was bustling.

That's why Fish Creek was built in just two days.

With enough manpower, supplies, and cement, it was easy to build a colony in two days.

As soon as the large army left, it became much more deserted.

However, there are still a few thousand people here, more than 1,000 Japanese people, 1,000 gold panning absenteeism, and more than 1,000 people who have come to build the Yuxi stronghold.

More than 3,000 people are in this small fish stream, so it still seems relatively lively.
