Xu Wenchang, who was beside him, shook his head helplessly: "It's a good place for recreation." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But longsail, we really don't have that much manpower to build cities everywhere. ”

Yang Changfan showed a mysterious smile: "Wen Chang doesn't have to worry too much, we won't invest too many resources here, and countless people will take the initiative to flock here." ”

“…… You think the gold is here? Xu Wenchang laughed, "The river that will spit out the golden sand is also here?" ”

"In some places upstream, go northeast along the river until you see the valley."

Xu Wenchang frowned and looked around: "But here, there is no road." ”

Yang Changfan laughed and said: "Where our 30,000 troops and 60,000 feet have stepped on is the road." ”

Xu Wenchang sighed helplessly: "Changfan, although your inexplicable self-confidence will always come true, but this place is deserted, there are many insects and snakes in the forest valley, if you insist on looking for gold, let alone 30,000 troops, 300,000 troops will not be able to eat." ”

"In a month's time, if you can't find gold, return immediately."

Xu Wenchang finally breathed a sigh of relief. That's enough, what the Huiwang Mansion needs now is long-term stability and continuous immigration, not gold and silver, which are just icing on the cake.

"Wen Chang, don't you think the beautiful scenery in front of you is great?" Yang Changfan looked around with open arms, "This world is so new!" Everything has not yet been named! ”

"Indeed." Xu Wenchang closed his eyes and sighed, "Seeing this, those battles with the Ming Court are no longer so important. ”

After a day's rest, the army began to march east along the river, without thinking about arrays, without heavy artillery, without pursuing speed, as a kind of travel, with only one mission goal - to make a sieve, the kind that is thin enough to filter out the sediment. After the whole army had to cut reeds along the river to make sifts, most of this work was done by the old people in the family, and now the young people in the army are also forced to master this craft.

Due to the lack of ready-made roads, and the rugged and forested roads, the army marched very slowly, only a few dozen miles a day. On the second day of the journey, almost everyone had been sifted by hand, and the idle sergeants were idle, and they were really digging up mud and sand in the river.

It doesn't matter if this is a bargain, there are really thirty or fifty people who have found fine broken sands, and they didn't believe it themselves at first, thinking that it was just rubble of similar color, but these gravel has a surprising toughness, which makes people suspicious.

On the third day, one of the sergeants in the front row found an even larger piece of golden gravel, almost the size of a little female fingernail. His first reaction was to secretly stuff it into his pocket and show it to a fellow countryman, and then continue to go to the panning with the fellow, but the fellow was not very angry, and told another fellow, so the whole township in the army showed a surprising fanaticism for gold panning, and when he rested, the whole township panned for gold, forgetting his tiredness.

By the fourth day, there was no one to rest, and the not so wide river was crowded with shirtless sergeants.

On the fifth day, entering the river valley, Yang Changfan ordered the march to stop, and announced that the sergeants no longer had to "secretly" hide their private pockets, and that the whole army would pan for gold here for three days, and each person could hand over one or two gold grains, and the rest would be owned by himself.

The whole army exploded and began to pan for gold.

Xu Wenchang also lost his basic logical judgment, why can Yang Changfan refer to mountains as gold?

However, from the topography point of view, such a valley is very different, the terrain is strange, and it is indeed a place for gold mines.

Three days later, the sergeants' bodies were as if they had been hollowed out, their bodies were tired and their eyes were bruised, but their expressions were excited and satisfied.

When the troops were withdrawn, some people were even reluctant to leave. But there is really no city, no land, no road and no supplies here, and it is useless to stay and find gold.

The army is on its way back, Yang Changfan clearly ordered, no one should stay here, to Taodu, or to go, after returning to Moss Bay, we will organize local development and gold panning, please rest assured, no one will rob us of these gold.

Don't suffer from widowhood but unevenness, everyone doesn't buy it, and it will be balanced. Back to the harbor, the army returned with a full load, and the army embarked on the return voyage.

On the way back, take the Pacific Ocean Current to sail directly, faster than when you came, except for the occasional small wind and waves, there is no danger, which is why the Pacific Ocean is named Taiping.

But even so, the sailing ship still took time to cross the sea, and by the time I returned to Moss Wan Province, it was nearly ten months. It takes more than half a year to make a round trip, which is too inefficient compared to future cruise ships.

Although the merchants returning from Acapulco returned to Mexico early and won the news of the battle against the Yi people again, the real Hui Wangfu army returned triumphantly, and the whole island was still rejoicing. More shipping routes and trade will surely make the place richer, and the victory of each battle of the Hui Mansion is not only about the expansion of the royal family's territory, but also about the vital interests of every resident.

Wang Wei, the king of Hui, came to Hong Kong to greet him in person, but Yang Changfan had too much halo on his body, and he really couldn't get anything to reward, so Wang Wei had to tell Yang Changfan, you can reward yourself what you want.

Yang Changfan didn't have anything he wanted, he only promoted a group of meritorious generals and soldiers as usual, and then he was busy reuniting with his family and telling what he had seen and heard along the way.

Only this time, it was not only Yang Changfan himself who told what he had seen.

Whether it's the gold in the valley or the passionate half-breed woman, whether it's the vast expanse of land or the abundance of silver, it infects every Moss Bay resident.

And for the discerning businessman, he saw a major opportunity for trade with the Americas.

Over there, there was a surplus of silver, and silver dollars were everywhere, and it could be said that the silver cost to eat a meal there was enough to eat here for a month. On the contrary, the simplest services, daily necessities, and even pots and pans are very scarce there, and it is not a lie to sell a pot for a few taels of silver.

It can be said that the things that are commonplace on Moss Bay Island are worth a lot of money when they get there, and even if there is no cargo on the return trip, the income from those silver dollars and silver ingots is enough to make people crazy, not to mention that cocoa beans, wool and other local products over there also have a good market here.

The dumping of daily necessities, including raw silk, silk, and cotton cloth, is poised to start.

More companies were registered, and businessmen either wholly owned or partnered to build factories in Moss Bay, Manila and other places to make cotton, silk and all daily necessities that can be mass-produced, this is no longer the germ of xxism, this is xxism.

At the same time, new convoys of migrants left port for the Americas. Moss Bay is already very crowded, and the interests of the South Seas are almost full, and more unsatisfactory people choose to go to that new continent to fight for the future. (To be continued.) )
