Liang Yi was about to call someone over to discuss, but when he heard the tiger girl suddenly ask, he was first stunned for a moment, and then immediately reached out and patted his forehead: "Yes, Daniel Zhang returned to the camp in the evening and told me that he wanted to meet the eldest lady!" With that, he ordered the young man beside him: "Go and call Daniel Zhang over, saying that the eldest lady wants to see him!" ”

The young man answered, and immediately hurried out of the tent.

Not long after, a strong middle-aged man strode in from outside, it was Daniel Zhang who Tiger Niu was looking for.

Daniel Zhang came in and saw the two, and looked respectful to the tiger girl and said, "The villain has seen Miss Lin, I don't know why I came to find the little one?" ”

Daniel Zhang is nearly forty years old, born with a standard Guozi face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, medium build, but a very strong appearance.

He was originally one of the mine owners of Jiming Mountain, and because the imperial court issued a "silver ban", he followed the thief Li Yayuan to occupy the mountain as the king.

It's just that Shi Huashan took most of the killings to the bottom of the mountain, and he was successfully persuaded by Huang Dafu and Liang Yi to surrender, so he came to Luzon with some of his old subordinates, and now he has been doing things for the United Business Group.

After learning what happened to the mine owners in Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, he was very grateful to Lin Haoran, it was thanks to Lin Haoran's open side that he was able to get a life, and now he can live decently, and find a good way for his brothers to survive.

Liang Yi watched Daniel Zhang come in, and also looked up at the tiger girl suspiciously, not knowing what medicine was sold in the tiger girl's gourd.

The tiger girl didn't say anything, reached out and took out the stone she had picked up on the dry river from her arms, and handed the stone over directly.

Daniel Zhang did not dare to slack off, and took the dark stone with both hands, and looked at it seriously through the light.

At first, he still posed as an old qualifier, holding the stone in his hand casually, and looking at it from a distance. Just by seeing a faint golden light from the light, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face, and he looked at the tiger girl in disbelief.

"Huh? What is this? Liang Yi looked at this stone that was not like an ordinary stone, and felt that Daniel Zhang's face was different, so he asked curiously.

Daniel Zhang did not answer, but looked up at the tiger girl and asked, "Miss Lin, dare to ask where this stone was found?" ”

Ali and the rice bowl both knew that this stone was powerful, but the two of them were never talkative, so they just stood quietly beside them.

"I hunted a crocodile on the edge of a puddle today, and this stone was found next to it!" The tiger girl pointed in the direction of the puddle and said seriously.

"Puddles? It shouldn't be! Daniel Zhang listened to this, but shook his head in disappointment.

Liang Yi looked at him like this, and even blamed: "Daniel Zhang, don't be dumb, isn't it?" ”

Speaking of this, he swallowed back the words that he spat out to his mouth, giving Daniel Zhang a knowing look.

Daniel Zhang still put Liang Yi aside, glanced at Hu Niu deeply, and pointed to the gold dots on the stone seriously: "Miss Lin, this time it is obviously full of golden light, you found this piece of gold ore that we have been looking for, but ...... "read."

When the United Merchants entered the South Seas, they were ostensibly under the guise of the spice trade, but in fact they had a larger ambition, secretly coveting the large gold mines on Luzon.

It could even be said that the cultivation of cotton and chili peppers in Union City was a cover, and their larger purpose was to build a road from Union Port to a place that would later be called Baguio.

It was precisely for this great ambition that from the day it took root in Luzon, the United Merchant Group invested a lot of manpower and material resources.

Daniel Zhang led a group of miners to find the Baguio gold mine, while Liang Yi was in charge of the construction of the road, and Weng Huasong, Chen Zhixiao and Shen Jun were in charge of the United City in the rear.

It's just that nothing can be done overnight, especially the big plan involving tens of billions or even trillions of taels of gold, even if the joint merchant group has invested a lot of manpower and material resources at any cost, it has not been able to complete large-scale gold mining operations until now.

The biggest challenge now is undoubtedly to build a gold transport line that will allow for more effective control of the incoming gold mines and the rapid return of gold to Guangdong.

Liang Yi was just overjoyed in his heart, and after hearing this turn, he nervously asked, "But what? ”

Daniel Zhang's eyes fell on the oval gold ore in his hand, and he sighed lightly in disappointment: "I took my brother to search all over the central mountains of Luzon Island, and also found a few pieces of gold ore, but I couldn't find the gold mine!" ”

"Brother Zhang, why is this?" When Liang Yi heard this, he asked suspiciously.

Ali and Fan Jar and others also looked at Daniel Zhang, and in their understanding, finding gold ore was almost equivalent to finding gold ore.

Daniel Zhang met everyone's eyes and explained in a good manner: "This gold mine is very similar to silver mines, there are open-pit mines and deep earth mines, but deep earth mines are extremely lucky, and some of them are difficult to dig and can not be done by manpower, so Lord Lin has already determined that we are looking for open-pit mines." Now our camp is only a few dozen feet from the waterhole, and there are no hills around, so I am afraid that some man or beast will move this ore here, or a hidden deep earth mine, or just a barren ore! ”

When Liang Yi heard this explanation, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on his face, which was probably about to be empty joy.

"I found a dry river on the edge of the puddle, maybe it was brought down by the river before!" The tiger girl had her own judgment, and turned to Daniel Zhang and said: "No matter how this ore appeared here, let's look up the river tomorrow to see if we can find an open-pit mine!" ”

"Okay, then tomorrow I'll bring some tight-mouthed people to follow the eldest lady!" Daniel Zhang nodded lightly and said respectfully.

Although he is not optimistic about the situation, now that he sees that Hu Niu has picked up a piece of gold ore, he naturally wants to find out.

Sometimes, he had to sigh: he thought it was a wild island, but the wealth contained here was very amazing, it was 10,000 times that of Jiming Mountain.

Liang Yi learned that there might be a gold mine nearby, and originally wanted to join in the excitement, but considering that this matter was not easy to get involved, he suppressed this small impulse.

The next morning, the group headed for the puddle as planned.

Daniel Zhang was indeed a master of ore prospecting, and soon found a piece of gold ore in the sludge, but he was not too optimistic, and followed the tiger girl along the river to continue to search upward.
