Kotaro held a large iron plate in his hand, shoveled sand from the Jinsha River with a shovel, and then took the large iron plate and continued to wash it in the river.

With the constant shaking of the hand, the river water continued to wash, and the sediment and so on were all washed away.

Gradually, you can see some golden gold shining in the iron plate.

These golden sands sparkle golden in the sunlight and shimmer with a charming luster.

Again and again, the washing and washing continued, and soon, only the sand mixed with the golden sand was left in the plate.

Carefully pick out the golden sands one by one with tweezers and put them in a bowl on the side.

The work is not complicated, it does not require any technology, it is very simple.

But it's very boring, and it's more important to keep bending over and keeping your head down.

But Kotaro did it with a taste.

Because compared to farming at home, life here is like heaven.

Originally, just coming here was a colonial stronghold, but in less than half a month, the stronghold was built.

They were hired to pan for gold again, and their wages were four taels of silver per month, which was much lower than that of the Ming people, but it was still a high salary that people could not gather, not to mention that they had room and board, three meals a day, and meat.

Fish is eaten at will, and venison is often eaten.

There are too many deer here, and these deer are not afraid of people at all, just walk by lightly and give these deer a stick.

Venison is also often eaten, only there is very little pork, only occasionally only a dozen pigs transported from Yinshan County, but most of them are also eaten by the Ming people, and they can only get a small number of them.

But this has also made these Japanese people feel very satisfied.

It's so comfortable here.

Get up at sunrise every day to start working, rest for an hour at noon, and handicraft at sunset, simple and fulfilling, every day is in this Jinsha River gold panning.

"Whew~"

Kotaro got up slightly, moved his waist and neck, and looked at the entire Jinsha River at the same time.

At this time, the entire Jinsha River is very busy.

On both sides of the river, a lot of gold panning areas were built, and the cement-paved gold panning areas led directly to the river.

Some people are in charge of picking up sand and carrying a load of sand, and some people are in charge of washing the sand and washing out the gold ore inside, just like Kotaro.

In the open space on both sides of the river, you can see houses one after another, and these houses are also busy inside.

Many craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty continue to collect the washed sandsand, and then melt the sands, casting them into small gold bars.

Each bar is stamped with the number of the bar and the date it was struck, and then placed in small boxes for safekeeping.

Look at the big snow mountain in the distance, the snow is white on the snow mountain, the foot of the mountain is densely forested, the grass is green, the amorous mountain birds do not need to cry, the peach and plum are speechless, and the bottom is self-contained.

The scenery was beautiful, but Kotaro quickly returned to his work.

He has to work hard, he has received more than a dozen excellent evaluations in a row, and during this time with the Ming people, he has also learned a lot of Ming words.

As long as you return to Yinshan County, the county magistrate of Yinshan County will give you a surname.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but get excited.

Ever since Iwami was ceded to Daming, his life has changed dramatically.

Life has a rush, and there is hope in the future.

As long as he has his own surname, he can pass it on from generation to generation to his children and grandchildren.

From then on, they were noble Ming people, not Japanese people.

He also wants his children to go to school, and even prepares a sum of money to invite a learned Ming man to give his child a Ming name.

In this way, in the future, their children can take the imperial examination and go to the Ming Dynasty to become officials.

Even if you can't go to the Ming Dynasty to be an official, as long as you become a Ming person, it is also a gold panning job, and the Ming people can get ten taels of silver a month, and they can only get four taels of silver a month.

Similarly, if they immigrate to the Golden Continent in the future, the Ming people can obtain a thousand acres of land, while they can only obtain a hundred acres of land.

That's the difference.

Kotaro is constantly planning his future life in his mind.

I sighed in my heart that it was still good to be bright.

There are many opportunities to work, the income is also high, the life is better, and the life is promising.

Unlike before, there was never any hope for them, the poor.

Despite working hard all year round, the rice grown is not enough to eat a few full meals, and it is the lowest level of poverty for generations.

Daming is different, Daming is rich in the world, vast and boundless, and can gallop all over the world.

With the acquaintance and communication with the Ming people around him, he gradually learned a lot of things.

"Bell~Bell~"

"I'm off work, I'm off work, I'm ready to eat~"

Time flew by, and soon it was time for lunch.

As the bell rings, the entire mining area seems to come to life.

Everyone packed up their things and weighed the golden sands washed out of their bowls.

This is very important, this is their performance, there is a lot of gold, there is a reward at the end of the month, and the continuous evaluation of the people is rewarded when it comes to the time of pay.

Kotaro looked at the golden sand in his bowl, it was not bad, almost a third, a few taels.

The gold mines here are so rich that you can wash out a lot of golden sands casually, and sometimes if you are lucky, you can even encounter dog-headed gold.

"Kotaro, three, two, seven money~"

When the weight is over, the person in charge of weighing shouts loudly, and at the same time records it in the notebook.

These data are also very important, and in the later period, the proprietor, the imperial court, and the emperor will send people to check, and according to these records, it is also possible to calculate how much gold is mined.

When the gold is handed over, if there is a less, then the life of the person in charge here will be sad.

Hearing the number, Kotaro smiled and quickly nodded.

"Well, let's go eat~"

The other party nodded in satisfaction.

These Japanese people are actually very good laborers, hard-working, and the wages are also very low, to be honest, they will not lose to the Ming people in terms of diligence.

"Ahem, let's be quiet, let's be quiet~"

"I have a piece of good news to announce to everyone~"

At this time, Zhang Fu, who was full of smiles, came to the mining area, holding a loudspeaker in his hand, and shouted loudly to everyone.

"Good news?"

Zhang Fu's words also immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone hurriedly looked over.

"Just now, several boats arrived at our Fish Creek."

"At everyone's request, so this time, these ships have brought you more than two hundred beautiful girls, and everyone will be blessed in the future~"

Zhang Fu said with a smile on his face.

It's been almost a month since I came to fish in Yuxi to mine gold, and everything else is good, and I haven't said anything about it.

Life here is guaranteed, the amount of gold mining is also steadily rising, and the owners are very satisfied.

But many miners in the mining area feel that their lives are missing.

So I also put forward some suggestions to Zhang Fu's side, hoping that Zhang Fu's side can introduce some women over, so that life will not be too boring.

Since there is a demand, Zhang Fu has to find a way to solve it.

So he also wrote a letter to Tong Yuan, the county magistrate of Yinshan County, and the owner behind him, but he didn't expect it to be solved.

This time, several boats that came to Yuxi really carried more than 200 Korean and Japanese women.

Of course, these are not serious people, they are all from the Qinglou Chu Pavilion on the side of North Korea and the Wa Kingdom.

Tong Yuan's side just talked to the people in North Korea and the Japanese country, and many people thought it was profitable, plus it was free to send it to you.

So there were merchants from Korea and the Japanese Kingdom who came to Yuxi with their girls.

"Good~"

"Haha~"

"Really?"

When the many absentees heard this, they immediately began to cheer.

The food here, the housing is good, the work is good, and everyone is very energetic, and they have long wanted to do this thing.

I didn't expect Zhang Fu to really solve it for them.

"Haha, of course it's true, everyone should take it easy, don't empty your pockets."

Zhang Fu smiled, then thought about it and said: "Everyone works hard, if everyone does a good job, I will take the lead in going back and buy some Korean or Japanese girls for the bachelors among you, marry them home directly, and you can have a hot kang head for your wife and children every day in the future." ”

"Good~"

"Haha, you can~can~"

"It's better to introduce it to everyone now, introduce, everything is good here, it's just too boring."

"You're so beautiful, your hair hasn't grown, so you're thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law."

Immediately caused everyone to laugh.

With the arrival of the good news, when working in the afternoon, everyone can clearly feel that time passes very slowly, very slowly, and many people even look at the sun in the sky from time to time, wondering when it will go down.

Wait until the sun goes down.

With the thought of the bell, these people immediately finished handing over the golden sand, and then they didn't care about eating, and walked towards the Yuxi stronghold in a hurry.

The Yuxi stronghold was accompanied by the arrival of more than 200 Korean and Japanese girls, and laughter resounded here.

Several North Koreans, the old bustards of the Wa Kingdom are constantly busy, busy decorating their Qinglou Chu Pavilion, preparing to let their girls pick up guests.

They had also inquired in advance.

There are more than 3,000 people here, all of whom have at least a few taels of silver a month, and they are all rich, so the business must be easy to do.

Sure enough, before they could get ready, a large crowd of people rushed over, and their eyes lit up when they saw the woman.
