Chapter 776. The Prince's Cheating
After the gold mine incident, Jewel Sea Town has once again returned to its former rhythm of life.
Three hundred strong men drove ox carts and pulled wood all the way to the east, opened roads in the mountains and built bridges in the water, and continued to open up the road to the Snake River Plain.
The other five hundred strong men took axes up the mountain to cut wood, and cut down the mountains that leaned against the gem sea town like Uncle Ge, and the high-quality logs were piled up one after another at the foot of the mountain, and the air was filled with the woody smell of cedar and pine trees.
There are more than 500 strong men, some of them go out to sea with their sails, big fish in the sea of gems, and some go to the nearby mountains to shoot and hunt, recently cut eggs and become addicted, a few days ago I met a black bear, Han Xiaomo still wanted to try, but the bear was too fierce, even if it was driven into the trap, it still screamed and waved a generous slap to the death pie, and finally had to throw fireworks to smoke the bear to death, and added a bear skin mattress to Mao Xingjian.
There are also Geng Geng Neck, Jin Lao Liu, Li Chaodi ruffian Pu Buhua, two ronin leaders Toyota Guandao, Honda Civic and other more than fifty restless ones, who were arranged by Mao Xingjian for a special task.
Then catch the cow!
As for the stream containing the golden sand, it was fenced with sticks and ropes the thickness of thumbs, and it was densely enclosed, and a large plank of clean wood was nailed in the middle.
Tear Creek Gold Mine, owned by the residents of Jewel Sea!
The status of women in this era is still too low, and the blank below is engraved with the names of 1,762 men in the Sea of Jewels, and Mao Xingjian's own name is in the first place.
Although the gold mine incident created by Mao Xingjian single-handedly damaged more than 70 strong laborers, it also allowed him to firmly control the entire Ming colonists south of Victoria Bay as never before, and formed a primary government with the Prince East Palace as the core from the previous anarchy, which can be regarded as a major historical process in the colonial history of North America in the Ming Dynasty.
The days passed by so fully, and in a blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed since the prince's exile journey, and this long and difficult winter had finally been over.
The natural beauty of the ancient floods of the New World is also displayed with the return of spring to the earth, and the greenery is fully displayed.
It was like magic, and the bare slopes that had been full of ice and snow suddenly became dense, and the green forest meadows were pleasantly cute, and rabbits and squirrels popped up from the deep grass from time to time, looked left and right, and then disappeared into the deep grass.
The abundant spring has also brought abundant gifts to human beings.
Puff~
The small triangular blunt knife was pierced into the soil, and in less than a moment, a fat and large camelina was picked out by Han Xiaomo's small hands, and the mud was shaken, and in her happy humming, a beautiful parabola was thrown into the bamboo basket behind her.
There was just a dirt pit left at this end, but she screamed excitedly at the other end, and plunged into the pine forest not far away, and under the pine roots, she flew with both hands, and watched the fat pine mushrooms fly into her back basket like wings.
With empty hands, Mao Xingjian deliberately looked disdainful, swaying with his hands behind his back, and on the other hand, the Su man who followed him up the mountain was full of fear, but he was particularly full of obsession, staring at Han Xiaomo's back.
Looking at this staring eyes, Mao Xingjian couldn't help but sour, could it be that spring has arrived, and this product is also in estrus?
"You have a crush on her?"
was so frightened that he trembled violently, and then the Su man nodded heavily, and said intermittently in broken Chinese.
"My lord......, Han ......, wizard! It's amazing, it's collecting, it's amazing! A woman who defends herself! Suluk Dada, love! Adults ......, Han ......"
This is the first time that this guy has revealed his name, but Mao Xingjian obviously doesn't care about this now, he shook his head heavily, and his fingers slotted his chest.
"That's not going to work! You can't take a fancy to her!"
"For ...... What ......"
"She's ......, she's a lonely woman!"
Choked for a moment, Mao Xingjian was arrogant and directly assigned Han Xiaomo's ownership to himself, anyway, Han Xiaomo was a girl sent by Mao Jue to serve him, so naturally it was his prince's!
However, this didn't convince this Su man, he was in a hurry, he actually fluttered and knocked on his chest: "Like an adult...... Han ......, excellent, woman! The tribe ......, the strongest warrior ......, marry her ......"
His face was flushed, and he tried hard to show off his shoulder muscles.
"Suluk Tata, alone! Kill the bison!"
One man can hunt bison, this guy really can! Mao Xingjian, who listened to it, laughed secretly, and opened his mouth to refute him, but when he opened his mouth, Mao Xingjian was suddenly dumb again, as if he had nothing to show off his achievements except for his status as a prince, and how could this identity be explained to this straightforward native?
However, just as he was dumbfounded, at the bottom of the mountain, Dongfang Meng, who was in charge of guarding and protection, suddenly ran up the mountain impatiently, shouting loudly while running.
"Prince! Prince! Boat!"
Now the Black Pearl, which can be used as a transport ship in the entire Gem Sea, has just gone north to trade grain and wine with the deer, bears, beavers and other skins hunted in winter, and the word Dongfang Meng really made Mao Xingjian stunned, and turned his head in amazement, and looked directly at the bay below the mountain with a telescope.
In his eyes, there were three Daming sailboats that were one size smaller than the Black Pearl, but also three masts and dozens of meters long, hurriedly heading towards his humble gem harbor, leaving down the binoculars, Mao Xingjian hurriedly shouted at Han Xiaomo, who was enjoying picking mushrooms in the forest.
"Little Foam! Let's go! There's a boat coming!"
"Calling Aunt !!"
The angry shouts of a wild girl from the prairie came out of the woods.
…………
This year, the whole gem sea town is as lively as the Chinese New Year, and the townspeople who are responsible for fishing have also thrown down their fishing nets and returned, and followed the boat to carry things, large boxes and small packages downward.
A boatload full of grain, a boatload of all kinds of tools and farm tools, as well as clothes and shoes, iron pots and bowls, looking at those big shelves, Mao Xingjian suddenly couldn't help but smug his fingers at the Su man who was stunned and almost worshipped as a god.
"See, Lone is the eldest son of the emperor, rich all over the world! These are all sent by the orphan father emperor to the orphan! What do you take and rob alone? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Xingjian was a little dumbfounded, he was the prince of the Ming Empire, what is it to compare with a barbarian?
But Suluk Tata really listened to this, and in an instant, he was out of breath and quietly mumbled, muttering sadly.
"Sulukta, son of the chief, too! Tribal, not so much ......"
In the third boat, more than two dozen people wearing long robes and scholarly scarves got off the boat. The three-month-long journey to the polar night obviously made these scholars and literati, sons and brothers who had never experienced wind and rain, exhausted and listless, and looked decadent. However, when I saw Mao Xingjian standing on the side of the boat and watching, these guys trotted over as quickly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and bowed heavily on the side of Mao Xingjian, and the middle-aged scholar in his forties in the lead bowed and said in a low voice.
"Grass people Chen Zao, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"
This surname suddenly made Mao Xingjian understand that he was pitiful to the mother's heart in the world!
Just when he was destitute, it was his mother, Empress Wen'an, Chen Jiao, who extended a helping hand to him. These three boats were sent by his relatives, the Chen family.
"Your Highness, Her Majesty wants the grass people to bring you a letter!"
…………
"Wow! What a fortune!"
Full of excitement, dragging the depressed Suluk Tower, Han Xiaomo was excited like a little madman, and also pounced on the big ship full of goods. Holding the envelope, Mao Xingjian quietly walked to the side, found a big stone to sit down, and tore the envelope open with a click.
The familiar Juanli Xiaokai line by line came into view.
Jian'er Wuzi, I can't help but cry when I hear the extreme east! Can I be safe?
Looking at the familiar notes, Mao Xingjian's pupils couldn't help but beat a few times, when he was a child, his mother Chen Jiao was his nightmare, and his mother's strict discipline always upset him, but he really left his hometown and left the warm comfort zone, so that he realized the difficulty outside, and the family affection behind his mother's strictness.
Unconsciously, this proud and stubborn prince has changed a lot.
The whole letter is no longer as stern as it once was, some are just missing her son, and the dignified mother is also like an ordinary mother, chattering and pulling homely, but at the end of the envelope, Chen Jiao's words made Mao Xingjian's eyes who were immersed in emotion and homesickness all the time.
"My son doesn't need to worry, your father is raising a million troops today, and the power of the sky is going straight to the south of the Yangtze River, and the remnants of the light and dusk are like candles in the wind, and the eggs of the nest can be extinguished, and on the day of the great joy of your father's victorious return, the queen mother will intercede for you, and return from the bitter cold of the extreme east as soon as possible! Don't worry!"
Putting down the thick letter with a bang, Mao Xingjian's pupils couldn't help but straighten up, but after a while, looking back at the still messy Jewel Haizhen, his hands screwed on the envelope again, twisting out a few folds in the letter.
"Time is running out!"
…………
"The prince, 20,000 stones of rice and noodles, no metal utensils, twenty field craftsmen, twenty blacksmiths, eight Kanyu masters, fifteen boatmen, and a few silver taels, in addition, the queen also entrusted the small ones to bring some hard guys!"
The box was pried open with a bang, and one by one wrapped in straw, the standard rifles with bayonets in a faint cold light came into Mao Xingjian's eyes, Chen Zao was showing off his hands, these guys, his pupils couldn't help jumping when he saw it.
For the export of weapons, Mao Jue has always been cautious, it is taboo to export weapons illegally, but for him, Chen Jiao even did not hesitate to violate the ban! Once it is found out, it can even shake the queen's position, which shows how much risk Chen Jiao has made.
The next second, he clenched his fist again.
