Chapter 333, Golden Lake
Dolly~"
"How long will it take?"
In a mountain forest more than ten kilometers away from the Angu tribe, Du Mingen, Tian Erniu, monkeys, silly bears and others were walking in the mountains and forests with the beautiful Angu girls Dolly and Doshi.
Du Mingen silently wrote down routes such as while walking, as well as drawing maps, and from time to time he also asked the little beauties around him how long it would take to arrive.
Tian Erniu found a large amount of dog-headed gold in the morning, and after some inquiry, he found out that this dog-headed gold was picked up by Dolly from outside, and not only she had it, but the entire tribe had a lot of this kind of thing.
Hearing this, Tian Erniu could still sit still, and immediately found Du Mingen and the others, and explained the situation, Du Mingen immediately estimated that there was a super-large gold mine around, otherwise it would be impossible to have so much doghead gold.
Du Mingen also asked the people of the Angu tribe carefully, and the hospitable Angu also directly sent dozens of dog's head gold to Du Mingen, this thing is a stone in their tribe, a stone with a beautiful color, and it has no other effect.
Now since the guests like it, they send it directly, anyway, it's just stones, it's everywhere.
A large amount of dog's head gold, and the quality is still very large, which is very unusual, in Daming has been difficult, it is difficult to find this natural dog's head gold.
Daming gold mine is very scarce, even if there is a gold mine, after a long time of mining, it has already been mined, Daming's gold is actually mainly dependent on foreign input.
Merchants from the Western Regions from the west, nomads from the north, Korea and the Wa Kingdom from the east, Burma, Siam, Annam, and so on in the south, came in from these places, and the gold produced by the Ming Dynasty itself was too little, too little.
So seeing that the Angu tribe had so much kotou gold, Du Mingen knew that there must be a large amount of gold mines around, and it was definitely a big gold mine beyond imagination.
Without a gold mine of a certain size, it would never have been possible to produce so much kotou gold.
“@#¥¥%……”
The girl Dori was holding the glass beads given by Tian Erniu in her hand, and she was wearing a necklace from Du Mingen around her neck, and the whole person was as happy as a bird, and she was also going around Tian Erniu while leading the way.
She pointed to the mountain in front of her and said, meaning that she had arrived after the mountain in front of her.
Soon, everyone followed Dolly over a mountain, and their vision suddenly became wider, and there was a lake, a sparkling lake.
The area of this lake is not too large, the water of the lake is very clear and transparent, at a glance, it is not deep, only less than a meter.
It is a lake left over from the glacial generations, with two large mountains on either side, and the lake is located at the foot of the middle of the mountain, and it is very likely that the two large mountains were originally just one mountain.
It was washed away during the glacial generation, and then after a long period of erosion, it slowly formed the small lake in front of you and the mountains on both sides of the lake.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the whole lake is sparkling and dazzling in the sun, which is extremely unusual.
Du Mingen and Tian Erniu took out their binoculars and looked at them from afar, and suddenly couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"Golden Lake~"
Du Mingen's breathing was aggravated, because through the telescope, he could see clearly, this small lake, all of them are golden things, there is no doubt that these are golden sands, just like the Jinsha River encountered on the other side of Yuxi, there are a lot of golden sands in it, plus the lake water is clear, under the illumination of the sun, these golden sands will refract dazzling light.
"Go~Go~"
The whole person seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, Du Mingen and the team members hurriedly rushed down to the lake, and at a glance, the whole lake was shining with gold, like a polished and smooth copper mirror, and it seemed to be paved with a thick layer of gold.
Regardless of the cold water in winter, some team members rolled up their pants and went directly into the water and began to fish for sand.
"Gold, a lot of gold~"
The monkey scooped up a handful of sand and put it in front of his eyes to look carefully, there were many, many golden sands in it, so much that it was beyond imagination, more than the Jinsha River encountered on the other side of the fish stream.
If there are dozens of golden sands in a handful of sand on this side of the Jinsha River, there are hundreds of golden sands in a handful of sand here.
"Rich~ Rich!"
Tian Erniu grabbed a handful of sand, and the whole person couldn't help but dance excitedly, the gold mines here are too rich, and there are all golden sands in a handful of sand, which is incredible, and then look at the lake in front of him, and suddenly feel dizzy, how much gold can be mined out.
"Haha, it's really sent!"
Du Mingen didn't go into the water, he found a piece of dog's head gold on the beach, weighed it slightly, weighed it a few pounds, and the whole person was not calm, the gold mines here were so many that it was beyond imagination, even he, a well-informed rich businessman, said that he had made a fortune, and what a huge gold mine was contained in the gold lake in front of him.
Duoli on the edge of the lake looked at Du Mingen, Tian Erniu and others shouting, and couldn't help but be full of doubts, isn't it just some sand and some stones, which can neither be eaten nor used, and they are not as beautiful as the glass ball in their hands.
She held the glass ball in her hand to the sun, and suddenly refracted a beautiful brilliance from the glass ball, which made her even more in love.
The world is so wonderful that what you throw away is a treasure that others look like a treasure.
"Golden Lake~"
Of course, Du Mingen didn't have the leisure to care about Dolly, at this time he looked at the lake in front of him, and naturally gave it a name, Golden Lake, a lake made of gold.
"Liu Jin didn't lie to us, the Golden Continent is really full of gold, and we just came into contact with the first tribe of Yin Shang descendants to discover such a large gold mine."
"If the gold mine in the Golden Lake is fully mined, I am afraid that the gold mined will be more than all the gold of our Daming."
This is not Du Mingen's indiscriminate exaggeration, as a big businessman, Du Mingen is also a knowledgeable person, Daming gold is very scarce, even if it is in the hands of Da Mingzi, there is not much gold.
He also studied mathematics at the Maritime Academy, so he was able to calculate a number simply, and the amount of gold stored in the gold lake in front of him was extremely amazing.
But that's not the point, where does the gold in the lake come from?
It is certainly not a natural growth in the lake, but a long period of rain washed down from the surrounding mountains, which means that the surrounding mountains may be huge mountains of gold, and it is not known how much gold there is in them.
"Whew~Whew~"
Du Mingen's breathing became heavier, such a large gold mine is really incredible, enough to mine for I don't know how many years, and the mountains in front of him have begun to shine with gold, this is a mountain of gold.
At this time, the team members are still excitedly looking for dog-headed gold, jumping out of the sand, as long as this thing is brought back to Daming, they will be rich, but they can't take much away at the moment, compared with the huge gold mine in front of them, it is even more insignificant.
In the afternoon, Du Mingen and the others returned to the fleet camp very smoothly, and announced the news of the discovery of a large gold mine, and immediately the whole fleet burst into cheers.
Golden Continent, Golden Continent, they finally discovered the Golden Continent, and this discovery of gold is a super-large gold mine, and the analysis of the dog's head gold and golden sand brought back is enough to crush their ships.
"Let's talk about it, what are we going to do next?"
In Du Mingen's tent, the top of the fleet gathered again to discuss the next trip.
"We have found corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, pumpkins, tomatoes, these things, it stands to reason that we have completed the task assigned by the Son of Heaven, and we can return to Daming now."
Gonggong Li was the one sent by the Son of Heaven, and he was the first to come out to speak, saying that everyone had completed the task assigned by the Son of Heaven, and the task given to them by the Son of Heaven was to bring back high-yield crops, and as long as this task was completed, they could return at any time.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can hear the meaning of Gonggong Li's words, as a member of the fleet, he can also share the benefits like the team members.
Go back to Daming now, how is it possible, you don't want the gold here?
"I think we're going to continue to explore here in the Golden Continent, it's huge, it's just one place we've just arrived, and we're going all the way south along the coastline, and there's a lot more to explore."
"There must be other varieties of corn, sweet potatoes and so on, we can find more and go back, it can be safer, of course, more importantly, we have to explore a larger area, more areas, so that we can develop this place in the future."
"Although the gold mines in Jinhu are abundant, it takes a lot of manpower and time to mine, and we have more than a thousand good numbers, even if we mine day and night, how much gold can we mine?"
"So I think we should continue to go south and see if we can find some tribes that will mine gold, and we can exchange it for gold, so that it will be faster."
Lin Shuhong thought about it and said slowly, his words also made everyone nod their heads, mining gold by themselves, although it is also a good choice, but they don't have enough manpower and no time, which is obviously unrealistic.
"But what if there isn't a big gold mine in the back?"
"What if these descendants of Yin Shang are like the Angu tribe and don't mine gold?"
Some people thought about it and put forward their own opinions.
"This is the Golden Continent, are you afraid that there will be no gold?"
Lin Shuhong smiled and asked rhetorically.
