"Gold! It's really gold!! ”

The whole shed was boiling, trekking hundreds of kilometers south, in order to search for those undiscovered gold mines, in one year, the gold diggers of Jewel Sea Town died and disappeared no less than a thousand, and the footsteps of the gold diggers could even continue to the northern part of California, the east also out of the Rocky Mountains, to the central plain, to the south and even to the edge of the Great Salt Desert, but no gold was found.

But he never imagined that the gold mine was right under his nose next to his place of residence.

Looking at the sparkling golden sand that was cut down from the forest and exposed in the creek and illuminated by the sun, all the workers from Geng Geng's neck to Jin Lao Liuyi almost didn't cry, especially Geng Geng's neck, his attitude simply made a 180-degree turn, and he knelt on the ground directly, and slammed his head on the ground.

"Prince, you are really the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!"

This compliment did not make Mao Xingjian happy, he despised yellow and white things the most, and he didn't want anyone to be the god of wealth.

But at this compliment, some people couldn't help but jump into the cold stream, and the madman fished in the stream with his hands.

"Hey, this is what the prince discovered, who told you to go down to make money!"

Han Xiaomo suddenly became angry, shouting angrily, and on the side, those sailors also wrapped the muskets around their waists, but Mao Xingjian slapped them violently and restrained the sailors who were about to move.

"Let them fish!"

"What are you doing in a daze, and you still follow!"

Facing Geng Geng's neck who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, Jin Laoliu shook his chin a few times, and in a stunned state, several people also fluttered into the water.

The charm of gold is a curse to mankind! It had only been more than a month, and the stream was still cold and biting, but the immigrants who were fanatical about gold panning did not seem to feel it at all, and in an instant the clear stream was trampled and muddy, and some cold-water fish fry fled in terror, not without shrewdness, turned around and ran back to the shed, took out all the dustpan sieves they had carried, turned around and jumped in.

That crazy appearance, the people who looked at it were dumbfounded, the rows of sailors even shrank back in fear, Han Xiaomo stared in horror with bright big eyes, this scene also made Mao Xingjian's pupils appear with deep disgust, but even so, he didn't leave, just slammed at the east beside him, and the latter immediately moved a bench for him.

With a flick of his robe, the prince sat there gloomily, looking at a group of greedy and crazy gold diggers with disgust.

The road repair work is completely stopped, and time begins to pass bit by bit, with the crazy shaking and sifting the sand, precipitating at the bottom of the stream, the gold dust that is heavier than the sand is gradually revealed, holding a dustpan to the shore, looking at the gold dust, a very big old man actually knelt on the ground like a doll and wailed, and some of them stood in the water for a long time, their legs and feet were completely numb, and they fell directly into the cold stream, and the people of Tongzhen who were busy making gold on the side didn't even have a hand. In the end, it was the sailors under Mao Xingjian who dragged the people up.

"The gentleman is said to be righteous, and the villain is said to be profitable! The desire for profit is smearing, the people's hearts are not ancient, and the elephant of the world is ruined!"

Shaking his head and sighing, Mao Xingjian couldn't help but be a little disgusted with Mao Jue's business-oriented method of governing the country.

…………

Finally, the day passed, after all, no one had ever searched for the eternal famine, more than 300 people had more or less some harvest, that passion passed, exhausted, with that small pinch of precious gold dust in their arms, a group of gold diggers walked back to the shed with laughter and laughter.

This kung fu is also just in time for the meal, the smell of the strong fragrance and the stewed fish, the gold diggers who have been busy for a day are simply flowing water, busy, Geng Geng hurriedly ran to the rice pot with a bowl on his neck, and shouted excitedly.

"Little Momei smash! Quick, give you Brother Zhao a night! And fish! Hurry!"

Who knew that Han Xiaomo, who was always smiling, treated her coldly today, rolled her big eyes upward, and immediately stretched out her little hand to Geng Geng's neck, this rough man excitedly handed over the bowl, but was immediately thrown aside by her click, and still stretched out her little hand.

"Sister smash, what do you mean by this ......?"

Geng Geng was stunned for a moment, and asked in amazement.

Only then did she take back the beautiful big-eyed Ren'er, but Han Xiaomo yelled in annoyance.

"It's only right to work and eat, right? Which of you worked for your eldest nephew today? No one is working, so let's pay for it! ”

"Forehead ......"

A group of gold diggers who were originally in high spirits suddenly cooled down, looked at each other for a while, and then gritted their teeth: "Xiao Momei is right, it is natural to work and eat, we don't work, and it is natural to pay for silver, how much, let's pay it!"

"One or two."

As soon as he finished shouting again full of enthusiasm, Geng Geng's neck was choked by Han Xiaomo's cold words again, full of disbelief, he was also a little angry, and shouted with anger.

"How much? Miss Han, don't go too far! A meal of one or two silver, is it a robbery? ”

Who knew that when he mentioned this, Han Xiaomo was even more angry than him, and his voice suddenly sharpened, pointing his little finger out of the door, and screaming angrily: "You go to Fishy Haizi Port to inquire yourself!" Now this rice grain, get off the boat for ten taels and one stone! The grain of this sea of gems was still evenly distributed from the hands of those black hearts with the face of the prince, or the Black Pearl!"

"Do you know what the Black Pearl is? Imperial flagship! The emperor and his old man have taken a ship and pulled food for you! The prince compensated his own family to add food to you, coaxed you to work, and cultivated for everyone, so that this gem sea town could prosper and become rich, and you people who have no conscience will pounce on you when you see the gold like the dogs that see the baba. ”

After shouting angrily, Han Xiaomo immediately rolled her eyes again: "This gold mine was discovered by the prince, I don't care if you collect the mine money well, you are willing to eat, if you don't eat this girl is not willing to serve, there is a river outside, what do you eat and fish it yourself." ”

As soon as the rag on the sleeve was thrown, Han Xiaomo really waved her little hand: "Take it!"

A few sailors carried the hot rice bucket and turned around to the other room, staring at the hot rice in amazement! Dishes! They were all gone, and Geng Geng's neck and the gang seemed to watch their wives follow other men to the hotel.

Geng Geng was stunned there, and Jin Lao Liu snorted stupidly: "Isn't it just a meal?" What can I do if I don't eat? Brother, let's go, there is food all over the mountains, what is wrong with him? ”

In the end, he was afraid of poverty, and most of the money was taken care of, hula, and all of a sudden, more than three hundred gold diggers simply went out with their mouths clean, looked at the figures of the sailors and the cavalry of the New World Expedition in another room, licked their lips, and followed out of the house with a smug neck.

Indeed, in this era, humans have just set foot in the Rim Coast Mountains, and it is still the world of wild animals, but it does not mean that fish can really swim into your pot, a large group of gold diggers rushed to the river, splashing in the cold water for a long time, but the vast majority of people came back empty-handed, hungry for the night.

Early the next morning, yesterday in the cold water for a whole day, but not a joke, many people knee pain can hardly walk the road, and the breakfast that can be seen when you open your eyes is now gone, early in the morning, hungry, listening to the sound of the sailors in the next shed pulling the rice bowl, it is really uncomfortable.

But just when a group of gold diggers were rubbing their empty stomachs and tangling, a large group of new gold diggers were extremely excited to carry pots and pans and noisily ran over, plopping into the cold golden stream, and excitedly scooping up the golden sand.

Seeing that it may be their own golden sand is missing, those who were already hungry and tired came to the gold diggers helplessly propped up their bodies again and followed down the river.

In the evening of this day, the number of hungry people reached more than 1,000, and this time there was no food to eat, and Mao Xingjian was not in the mood to repair the road, so he directly withdrew his people.

On the third day, some people were forced by hunger and cold, holding the little golden sand in their arms to death and starvation, on the fourth day, some people couldn't stay up and simply went home, and the little gold they just earned was sprinkled directly in Han Jinnong's tavern, and they were not convinced to let their wives and children come to deliver food, and then they soaked in the cold stream, and the family starved together, and on the eighth day, Geng Geng's neck, whose legs and stomachs were weak, came back with Jin Lao Liu.

Not only him, there were about 30 people in total, there were Koreans and Japanese people, muttering at the gate of the barracks and not knowing what to do.

Holding a basin of laundry water, he just came out to pour dirty water, watching them pile up, Han Xiaomo suddenly burst out of anger and shouted angrily.

"Why don't you go to get your precious gold, and you are blocking the door of your eldest nephew's house? Go and go!"

God is pitiful, this is obviously the barracks of the advance cavalry of the people's expedition, when did it become the prince's East Palace, Song Yongzhong, who was standing guard on the gatehouse, couldn't cry or laugh, but Miss Han was so righteous, and they also felt that they should take it for granted, listening to Han Xiaomo's drive, the more than 30 people were neatly and knelt on the ground all of a sudden, Geng Geng's neck took the lead, and he fluttered and fluttered his head, and Han Xiaomo's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

"What are you going to do?"

…………

"Big Nephew !!"

Han Xiaomo's babbling screams sounded in the whole courtyard again, panting, this girl ran upstairs in one breath, just wanted to speak, but she ran out of breath, and she was stunned for a long time.

Sitting at the table, Mao Xingjian was holding a thousand-character text, reading it word by word to the Su native, he was not in a hurry, in the frightened eyes of the Su man looking at Han Xiaomo, the prince turned his head slowly, and did not make a sound to urge, just waiting there.

It's so easy, after breathing evenly, Han Xiaomo was full of excitement again, and chattered like a gesture.

"Great nephew, what a good thing! Zhao Conglong, Jin Lao Liu, they want to dedicate the gold mine to you, the gold mine is ours!! ”
