Chapter 295, Set off again
Soon the meeting ended, and everyone left one after another, returning to their tents and resting.
Du Mingen took out his thick notebook and began to write:
Thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, this place is uninhabited and completely barren, but it contains huge wealth.
The river here is full of fish, a kind of red fish, so many that it fills the whole river, so I named it Fish Creek.
There are a lot of animal species here in Yuxi, the number is extremely huge, there are stupid stupid deer, you will not be afraid to see people, and there are snow-white, snow-white foxes, the fur is extremely beautiful, there is not a single miscellaneous hair, I think once this kind of fur arrives in Daming, the nobles of the capital will definitely be crazy about it.
Perhaps because the dimension here is too high, the climate is cold, and it is estimated that it snows most of the year, so the animal fur here is basically white, the white fox, we call it the snow fox.
There's also the white sheep, which we call the snow sheep, and there's also a brown bear, which is large and good at fishing, and there's a mink in the river, both of which are very good at fishing.
In addition to these, we also found a gold mine here in Yuxi, a huge gold mine, the whole river is paved with a thick layer of golden sand, and there are dozens of grains of golden sand when you take a handful of sand.
The crew members were deeply attracted by this Jinsha River, and everyone frantically searched for doghead gold on the river beach, and some even said that they wanted to stop here and mine gold here.
But in the end, after the persuasion of me, Lin Shuhong and Li Gonggong, everyone was willing to continue to move towards the Golden Continent, and they were not fascinated by the Jinsha River in front of them.
Yuxi and Jinsha River, although it is extremely cold here, although it is far away from the Ming Dynasty, it is a golden mountain that has not been opened, and there is wealth everywhere.
Liu Gongzi didn't lie to us, the world outside the Ming Dynasty is really vast and contains endless wealth, Yuxi is just the beginning, I will travel all over the world in the future.
It was written on the second day of September in the 11th year of Hongzhi, and the location was in the fish stream, which was thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, not only Du Mingen is writing a diary, many crew members are writing diaries, and everything they encounter today is written, which is what Tianjin Maritime Academy requires every crew member to do, if this kind of navigation diary can be preserved, it will be an extremely precious historical material, and it will also allow future generations to follow the footprints of their predecessors and find the treasures found by their predecessors.
The fleet was not in a hurry to leave Yuxi, the fleet still needed to stay here for a few days in order to prepare firewood, meat, etc., and Du Mingen was very open-minded to allow everyone to go to the Jinsha River to pan for gold while they were busy with the work at hand.
This decision also made the crew cry out excitedly.
The crew was very busy every day, and the hunting team members hunted back a silly deer, snow sheep, brown bear, etc., peeled off the fur, and ate the meat that could be eaten, and the meat that could not be eaten was marinated into jerky, ready to be eaten on the boat, after all, the taste of fish meat was always inferior to that of these venisons.
At the same time, the crew also found that the red fish in the fish stream was extremely delicious, and it was more delicious than most of the sea fish, so the crew caught a large number of fish in the fish stream, and dried these fish into dried fish, ready to take them to the boat to eat.
This red fish is also named Creek Fish, which means fish that is unique to Fish Creek.
Well, this is also a process of great geographical discovery, naming places that don't have names, naming unknown animals, and along the way, they've named a lot of places, and they've also named a lot of new animals.
"Tsk, if this snow fox fur is brought back to the capital, it is estimated that it will have to be sold for a few thousand taels of silver."
Tian Erniu carefully dried a snow fox fur, which he spent a lot of favor to let the hunters on the ship specially beat, preparing to use it as a dowry when his daughter grew up in the future.
The monkey next to him was also drying a snow fox skin, his snow fox skin was not done well, and there were a few ugly holes, he said with some envy.
"Even if you give 10,000 taels of silver, I won't sell it~"
Tian Erniu said with a smile, looking up, there were furs drying everywhere in the camp, including the fur of snow foxes, brown bears, silly deer, mink, snow sheep and so on.
The crew was like locusts crossing the border, hunting almost all the animals around the fish stream, so much so that some had to go further afield.
"Erniu discusses how about something, how about marrying your daughter to my son?"
The monkey rolled his eyes, smiled and said.
"You want to be beautiful, just your little monkey, let him eat a few catties of meat, otherwise even if he marries my daughter, he may be kicked out of bed in the future."
Tian Erniu smiled and said.
"Haha, maybe monkeys are like that~"
"Yes, yes, look at the monkey's body, it must be."
"Monkey, let your son lick his tongue to his nose, maybe Erniu will bring his daughter to your house."
When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but laugh happily.
"Go, go, I'm proposing to Erniu's family, what are you fooling about."
The monkey glared at the people around him, and waved his hand again and again, the relationship between the crew is very good, many of them have long been children and daughters, although the crew members are very young, and often the children in the family are still big farts, but this is the atmosphere of this era.
"Erniu, think about it, my bag of golden sand should be regarded as a deposit."
The monkey took out a small cloth bag, which contained the golden gold he had collected in the past few days, and almost every crew member had such a bag containing golden sand, and some of them were even lucky enough to pick up the dog's head gold.
"Go, go, see if your son can beat my daughter, and I'm not afraid that your son will suffer in the future."
Tian Erniu waved his hand again and again and said with a smile.
Both of them are from the same village, and the houses they bought in Beijing and Tianjin are also connected together, and the children of the two families naturally play together, and it is inevitable that they will fight with each other or something, and every time the monkey's son is beaten by Tian Erniu's daughter.
"Haha, be managed by your wife, be managed by your wife, Erniu, how will we decide, you can take this bag of sands."
When the monkey heard this, he smiled happily and said, handing the golden sand in his hand to Tian Erniu and said.
"It's really giving~"
Tian Erniu was immediately happy, this golden sand is extremely difficult to collect, after all, to collect one by one, it is very time-consuming and effort-consuming, this area of golden sand is the monkey these days hard to collect.
"Isn't it just a bag of golden sand, it's worth changing a daughter-in-law~"
The monkey said magnificently.
"Forget it, forget it, the child is still young, let's talk about it after returning to Daming, what's more, you kid goblin, goblin, goblin, if you want to exchange a bag of golden sands for my snow fox fur, you have to take your baby daughter, let's dream."
Tian Erniu smiled and said, and the people around him immediately laughed happily.
"Damn~ You've found out."
The monkey couldn't help but say at once.
"Haha~"
The crowd around them laughed even more.
"Bell~Bell~"
At this time, the bell above the camp rang, and it was Du Mingen who called the captain and deputy captain for a meeting again.
"Looks like we're about to go~"
Tian Erniu put down what he was doing and said to the monkey.
In fact, just as Tian Erniu said as expected, Du Mingen gathered everyone again and decided to officially leave Yuxi tomorrow and set off again to continue to move towards the Golden Continent.
The next day, the crew got up very early, packed 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 Continent, left the rich land of Yuxi, and headed towards the Golden Continent.
