The west coast of the Golden Continent.

Accompanied by thousands of Ming ships, more than 100,000 people arrived here in the Golden Continent.

Starting from the northernmost Qianhe Estuary, and continuing south to the vast coastline of the Central Golden Continent region (Central America), the Ming people are everywhere.

These people who have traveled thousands of miles to the Golden Continent have only one purpose here, that is, to find gold and dig for gold.

Like hungry wolves, these people spread all over the west coast, and they traveled tirelessly through the mountains in search of the fascinating gold in this vast land.

Golden Bay, later San Francisco.

The huge harbor is full of big ships, on the shore of the harbor, a colony is being built, and on a flagpole, the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty is constantly fluttering.

Early in the morning, Zheng Hong pushed open the door and wrapped his woolen clothes slightly, and there was a trace of coldness in the air.

"Wake up~Get up~"

Zheng Hong looked at the sun in the east and couldn't help but shout at the people in the house.

Zheng Hong is the owner of the Zheng family firm in Tianjin, and this time he also poured out his family property, bought a big ship, and organized more than 100 brothers to come to the Golden Continent to pan for gold.

Along the way, it was quite smooth.

The ship he bought was a ship made by Tianjin Shipyard, which was very durable and safe, and he spent a lot of money to hire a captain who graduated from Tianjin Maritime College, so he arrived at the Golden Continent very smoothly.

It was only after coming to the Golden Continent that he realized that this Golden Continent was very large and vast.

There is indeed a lot of gold, along the way, I encountered more than ten gold mines along the way, but these gold mines all belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and they were discovered by Du Mingen, the Marquis of Taiping, last time.

Those who came after them were not allowed to mine the gold mines privately, they could only discover new gold mines on their own.

According to the regulations, the gold mines found by the firm and individuals on the Golden Continent will be attributed to the Son of the Great Tomorrow, the Ming Dynasty, the discoverer, and the miner.

If the discoverer and the miner belong to the same person or the same firm, then they will get sixty percent.

This percentage is quite high.

There are a lot of gold and silver mines in the Golden Continent, and some trading houses have discovered gold and silver mines one after another, which has greatly stimulated other trading houses and individuals.

However, Zheng Hong's Zheng firm has never discovered gold and silver mines, which makes Zheng Hong anxious.

In order to organize this fleet to come to the Golden Continent, he Zheng Hong has put his net worth and life on the line, and now he is responsible for the food, drink and Lazar of hundreds of people every day, and the expenses are very large, but he has not found gold and silver mines, which makes people very anxious.

Hearing Zheng Hong's words, the people in the house also began to get up one after another.

The people Zheng Hong brought over were all people from his own clan or from his hometown, and they were very reliable and obedient.

"Everyone hurry up to make a fire and cook, and after eating, they are ready to go to the gold mine, and I will inquire about the news."

When Zheng Hong saw the others get up, he also gave an order, and he walked towards the center of the Golden Bay colony.

In the center of the Golden Bay colony, although it is still very early, many people have already gathered, most of them are the same as Zheng Hong, they are the heads of various commercial houses, and they have all come here to inquire about the news.

Gold and silver mines, sometimes there are gold mines in a large area around them, so as long as they hear that someone has discovered a new gold mine, everyone will go to the gold mine to explore, and maybe they can also find gold mines, silver mines, and so on.

"Did you hear that?"

"Yesterday Zhang's firm discovered another gold mine, and they have already discovered three gold mines."

"True or fake?"

"Of course it's true, it's still fake, but I listened to their buddies."

"Found in that place?"

"I heard that it was found here from a river thirty miles west of Golden Bay."

"There is no place in that place, I went to this place to explore the day before yesterday~"

"Then it may be that you are unlucky and missed it~"

“…….”

"I heard that the gold mine of the Tianjin Ocean Trading Company in the Golden Bay has officially started production, and yesterday alone, they mined more than 300 taels of gold."

"I know about it, and I'm going to see it."

"Tsk, the gold mines in that place are really very rich, they are short of manpower, most of them are building colonies, otherwise it would not be a problem to mine thousands of taels of gold a day."

"It's a pity, such a big gold mine, it was occupied first, otherwise there is such a gold mine, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."

"What's a pity, it's also a gold mine that someone else has discovered when they came here last year."

"There are a lot of gold mines here in this Golden Bay, and there is gold everywhere, so it's not difficult to find one."

"That's right, many trading houses have already found gold mines, and are building mining sites to mine gold."

"There is no way for our ship to return to Daming, at least we have to stay here for a few years, how can we not dig more gold."

"Don't mention this, I was killed by the Zhang shipyard, this ship is not cheap at all, but the quality of this quality is not comparable to that of Tianjin Shipyard, when I came on the road, I lost a ship."

"If you buy a ship in the future, you still have to buy a ship from Tianjin Shipyard, it's a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for, rest assured." Passionate about e-books

"Yes, yes~ Now these can only stay in this Golden Continent, and there is no problem to walk the coastline."

"I'm going to stay here for a few more days, and if I can't find any more gold and silver, I'll continue south."

"I heard that there are several kingdoms of descendants of Yin Shang here in the Middle Gold Continent, and they have a lot of gold and silver, let's see if we can exchange some things for gold and silver at that time."

"If you really can't do it, continue to the south, go to the south of the Golden Continent, how big the Golden Continent is, there is no need to knock on a place, as long as you find a big gold and silver mine."

"Yes, yes, I'm planning to do the same, why don't we two brothers go together?"

"It's okay, there is also a response, the Yin merchants in this Golden Continent are quite friendly, but there are also some Yin Shang tribes who are more barbaric and don't welcome us."

"Don't say it, it's actually very good to have a good relationship with these Yin Shang tribes."

"Last time, the Li family trading house, I heard that it used some glass products and had a very good relationship with a tribe, and I learned about a gold mine from the Yin Shang tribe, and I heard that the amount is still very large."

"And this?"

"I won't lie to you, man."

"Didn't you see that the people of the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company hurriedly went to find the country of the descendants of Yin Shang as soon as they arrived in the Golden Continent?"

"They just went to do business, and exchanged some very ordinary things from our Ming Dynasty for a boatload of gold and silver, if you want to make money, there is no one in the world who is more powerful than Liu Gongzi."

"That's the same~"

“……”

Zheng Hong came to the center point, listening to these people's discussions non-stop, and the whole person couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly.

"Boss Zheng~"

"Boss Li~"

A middle-aged man in a brocade robe greeted Zheng Hong with a smile when he saw him.

"How?"

"Have you found any gold mines?"

Boss Li asked with a smile.

"No, if I find a gold mine, I'll dig for it, and I'll have time to hang out here."

Zheng Hong said with a wry smile.

"It is said that this Golden Continent is full of gold, and I don't know how many mountains I have run with my buddies, but I haven't found gold yet."

Boss Li also said with a wry smile.

"Lao Zheng, why don't we continue to walk south together?"

"Further south?"

When Zheng Hong heard this, he thought for a while and said: "Wait a few days, there are still a lot of gold mines here in this Golden Bay, and dozens of gold mines have been discovered now, which shows that there are a lot of gold mines in this area." ”

"Further south, there may not be such a place."

"That's the same, I'm not reconciled."

"Seeing that everyone else has started mining, we haven't even found the gold mine yet, so I'm in a hurry~"

Boss Li also nodded and said.

"Let's go, look for mines~"

chatted with Boss Li for a while, and then inquired about the news, Zheng Hong calculated the time and said goodbye.

Back in the camp where his firm was located, the guys from his firm had already prepared the meals, and had already prepared dry food and water, waiting for Zheng Hong to come back and prepare to set off to find the gold mine.

"Let's eat, let's go to the gold mine after eating~"

Zheng Hong nodded with satisfaction, they were all people brought out by his clan and hometown, and he was still very relieved to do things.

As Zheng Hong's words fell, more than a hundred guys also ate quickly, washed up after eating, and cleaned up, leaving a few guys to look after their homes here in the camp, and the others all embarked on the road to find gold.

A team of more than 100 people, Zheng Hong also divided it into ten teams, looking for gold in different directions, and he himself personally led a team towards the mountains and fields to the west.

While walking out, Zheng Hong also encountered many teams, which were similar to Zheng Hong's team, carrying backpacks, holding compasses, carrying binoculars, bows and arrows on their backs, knives at their waists, and walking to various places in full armor to pursue gold and wealth.

Along the way, I also met some relatively large teams, and these teams had dozens of people, carrying all kinds of things, with smiles on their faces.

There is no doubt that these are the men of the merchant houses who have discovered the gold mines, and have gone to the gold mines to build camps and prepare for the gold mines.

Whenever he saw these people from the firm, Zheng Hong would show envy and jealousy.

There is no way, who let others discover the gold mine first.

"Go, go, find the gold mine as soon as possible, and then we can settle down in one place, dig the gold mine for a few years, and after returning to Daming, I guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Zheng Hong urged his men to speed up their pace and move towards the gold.
