Although he didn't understand what Zhu Youxiao meant, Niu Jinxing still told Zhao Shujiao and Fu Guan that according to His Majesty's intentions, the more than 10,000 people who came with the fleet this time would be arranged in Fu Guancheng and develop Fu Guancheng into the largest city on the west coast of the Americas. This made the two of them wonder, why not build the new Zhao capital better, the environment and climate here are very good, but they are used to Zhu Youxiao's whimsical thinking, maybe Zhu Youxiao's idea is better, and obedience is enough.

In fact, people in later generations will understand that the location of Fu Guancheng is the famous San Francisco in later generations, which is in the middle of the coastline of California in the United States, with San Francisco as the center to form a huge urban agglomeration, which is very conducive to economic development. San Francisco, in particular, is famous for its gold mines, which were originally owned by the United States in 1848 and discovered in the same year, and the seven-year gold rush led to a rapid increase in population and rapid urban development.

Anyone has a greedy character, it is because of the gold mines here, Zhu Youxiao will let Niu Jinxing arrange the population of this fleet in the new Zhao capital, but when someone discovers a large number of gold mines with the investigation of geology and minerals by craftsmen, it will attract a large number of gold diggers, whether it is the nearby indigenous residents or the adventurers of the Ming Dynasty, they will flock to it, and it will no longer make the Ming Dynasty bother to mobilize the population to migrate. When countless gold prospectors arrive here, a large number of people will gather nearby, which will quickly promote the development of the area, and form a kind of urban agglomeration, driving this place to become a new economic center.

A new port has been built in the place where Fu Guancheng is located, and the fleet of more than 10,000 people looks huge, but after these 10,000 people are dispersed on land, it will not seem to be a large number, after all, the area here is too large. Man Gui has been operating here for a year, but when the news of Yu Hualong's fleet arrived in the Americas, and the people of this fleet had to be arranged to settle here, Man Gui began to build a house here, whether it was the army or the local residents working together, the speed was still very fast, so it was not difficult for more than 10,000 people to live at all.

After settling down, Niu Jinxing asked the craftsmen of the Ming Royal Trading House to start prospecting around, and sure enough, as Zhu Youxiao pointed out, they found mineral sands in a small river, and also found a small amount of dog-headed gold, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. In order to minimize the chaos caused by disorderly gold mining, Yu Hualong established a police force here that has always been similar to that of later generations, to maintain the order of mining here, so as to avoid disputes over resources.

This is a very natural phenomenon for people to live in groups, most of the people who come here are divided into large and small groups according to their origins, each find a suitable place to start looking for the gold in their minds, and Niu Venus is to arrange people to buy gold here and sell the tools needed for mining, this guy's vision is very unique, after all, the people who can really find the dog's head gold are still a minority, most people need to pay hard work to get some mineral sands, fortunately, it is still the beginning of the gold rush, Basically, most of them have had a good harvest.

The gold obtained here naturally can't always be left on the body, Niu Jinxing is the largest purchaser of gold to help them keep it, with the reputation of the Daming Royal Trading Company, everyone is naturally very trusted, so Niu Jinxing is very popular here. Zhu Youxiao's purpose is to immigrate to a sufficient population here, so people who have saved enough gold need to return to China, or it is natural to go back to recruit the population, Niu Jinxing will use half of the fleet of people who plan to go back, and send them back to Daming with the gold and minerals purchased from here, and there will be more commercial capital to pan for gold here in the future, so that even if Zhu Youxiao's goal is completely achieved, only a sufficient population can completely occupy such a large area of mineral resources.

Later California is one of the most developed areas in the United States, than just having a wide range of gold mines near San Francisco, the greater resource is the oil resources of the later Los Angeles generation, but now is not the time to develop oil resources, the society that has just entered the era of the steam engine, there is still a long way to go from the era of the internal combustion engine, but it is easier to occupy this area in advance and firmly control it in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Here is not only the gold mine, but also more other resources, whether it is golden sand or doghead gold, it is impossible to use it directly, and other minerals are even more so, ordinary people can't do the work, there must be Niu Venus to do. A certain salary, Niu Jinxing set up a smelting factory here, 5,000 craftsmen are all workers belonging to Niu Jinxing, and soon built a comprehensive smelting plant here, in addition to the fine smelting of Jinsha and dog's head gold, but also for most of the precious metal ores for preliminary screening and processing, and then these raw materials that have been preliminarily processed into rich ores are transported to the Ming Dynasty, and then further processed after going back, becoming a resource that can be directly utilized.

In addition to the huge mineral resources, 30% of the land here is very good arable land, some people who are unwilling to enter the mining can also buy a pot camel machine in Niu Venus, used for agricultural production, in order to better ensure the problem of eating here, Niu Venus started a war is a large agricultural farming method, he organized all the people who bought the pot camel machine, intensively cultivated a large area of land, and unified the method of machine farming and machine sowing, forming a vast farm, which is the main farming method in the United States in later generations. The efficiency of using a pot camel machine to plough the land is more than ten times that of manpower, even if it is used to plough the land with mules and horses, it is several times worse, and more importantly, it is more important to use the machine for harvesting. Take wheat as an example, each person can harvest up to two acres of wheat per day, but the harvester driven by the pot camel machine can harvest 100 acres per day, this efficiency is absolutely incomparable, so calculated, everyone's labor efficiency is a single cultivator scattered in small agriculture, and the efficiency is more than ten times.

Niu Jinxing brought Fu Guan over and explained Zhu Youxiao's plan and expansion plan here in detail one by one, telling him that the interests here are very huge. As the second place on the gold list of the Apocalypse Dynasty, Fu Guan's heart is very proud, the twenty-five-year-old list is rare in any dynasty, but the most uncomfortable thing in his heart is that he is always the second, Zhongju is the second, and the Jinshi list is still the second, after several years of struggle, even more than ordinary people, he was finally awarded a heavy responsibility by His Majesty the Emperor, and came to the Americas with thousands of people, and it was the second child who left his family, but fortunately, Zhao Shujiao knew that his own management level was limited, and he respected himself very much, which was also regarded as the second in command, but doing the work of the number one, I finally have some balance in my heart, but what is Niu Venus? Just a gentleman, how could he climb to a higher position than himself so quickly? And the same is true of Li Xin in Yunnan, they are all younger than themselves. Li Xin worshipped Sun Chengzong as a teacher under the leadership of Zhu Youxiao, which can be regarded as being stained with Sun Chengzong's light, but Niu Jinxing didn't understand what was going on at all.

It wasn't until I sat down with Niu Jinxing today and had a free talk that I completely understood where my shortcomings were. Although Niu Jinxing did not have a long time in the Daming Official School, he also learned a lot from there, especially later engaged in business activities under the guidance of Zhu Youxiao. Compared with Fu Guan himself, he does not have a deep background of the Ming Official School, which he couldn't see when he first started, but when he really made his efforts, he could find his own shortcomings in this aspect.

Listening to Niu Jinxing's eloquent talk, explaining Zhu Youxiao's strategy and some arrangements for the Americas clearly and thoroughly, Fu Guan even had a sense of worship for Niu Jinxing, and he no longer had the feeling of being talented and self-esteem. People sometimes have this wonderful feeling, always want to make a comparison with others, but always want to use their own strengths to compare the shortcomings of others, this kind of person will never improve. On the contrary, people who can find their strengths in others to make up for their own weaknesses will have the motivation to struggle, especially when great changes are taking place in society.

Fu Guan is the latter kind of smart person, he learned how to deal with people from Niu Jinxing, he skillfully used this kind of thinking to officialdom, so that his ability to manage the economy has been further improved, so his official position has correspondingly gone to the front of others, not to mention that he himself has a very good talent and age advantage, which is the main basis for him to be able to do the cabinet position of the Ming Dynasty.
