Chapter 136: Discovery of Gold Mine

In view of the well-received reception by the officials of the Wa Kingdom and the arrival of the New Year, the crew of the fleet hoped to stay on the island for a few days to rest and have a good year before setting sail. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Hu Anjun and Lu Yuanqing also felt that since they set out from Duli Town, they have either sailed on the endless sea or explored the islands and coasts they encountered on the way, and the crew members are physically and mentally tired, and it is really time to take a good rest on the occasion of the New Year.

He ordered the fleet to rest and recuperate in Sado Province and set sail again after the day, and the three hundred men disembarked and ran ashore with a burst of joy to see what good things to buy in the area.

The people of the Wa Kingdom also learned from the Tang Dynasty to celebrate the New Year, although the Lelang Sea Expedition was in the remote Sado country of the distant Wa Kingdom. It is rare for the Japanese officials here to see a foreigner once in their lives, let alone a kingdom like the Tang Dynasty.

Carrying local sake made from rice, freshly killed raw pork, and fresh sea fish from fishermen, the local Japanese officials ran to the docks to board the high-sea ships they had never seen before, and the high-ranking members of the fleet, including Hu Anjun and Lu Yuanqing, drank and chatted in the luxurious captain's cabin in the eyes of the Japanese people.

Fortunately, the task of the fleet is to explore the Wa Kingdom, so there are two interpreters who understand the Wa language, otherwise the chickens and ducks will not be happy.

For the officials of the Wa Kingdom, it is better to invite a group of nobles from the Kingdom to come to the cold house, don't look at them as first-class magistrates of the Sado Kingdom, but they still live in thatched huts, which is a little better than those untouchables. Instead of inviting the nobles to the humble house to lose face, it is better to bring enough wine and food to the ship of the country to enjoy the treatment of an official of the country.

After all, the Sado Kingdom was a remote penal colony far away from the prosperous areas of Gyeonggi and other countries in the local administrative organs of the Japanese state, and those who could come here were all losers in the political struggle between Korea and China, and their status was equivalent to that of a barbaric prefecture and county in the southern region of the Tang Dynasty.

The northern part of Honshu Island in the northeast of Sado Province is still a group of hairy people who drink blood, and they have nothing to do with the Japanese fart.

Hundreds of years later, the great general of the Japanese shogunate era, its full name is the great shogun of Seiyi. Is there any nation around Japan that can be despised by the Japanese people who flaunt the pride of a civilized person? Except for the Mao people who lived in the north of the same island as them, there was no one, and General Zhengyi also appeared on the stage of history.

The northwest-southeast of Sado Island is dominated by the Osado Mountains and the Osado Mountains, with the Osado Mountains in the north reaching a maximum elevation of 1,172 meters and the Osado Mountains reaching a maximum of 855.2 meters.

Sandwiched between the two mountains, there is a plain in which the islanders grow rice to make a living, and live together into a village full of thatched houses.

In view of the fact that Sado Country belongs to the exile of the Wa Kingdom and is a lonely island hanging overseas, the Mao people in the northeast have no enemies even if it is difficult to go to sea.

Therefore, not to mention the city wall in Sado Province, there is not even a wooden fence that is common in the castle of Wa Kingdom as a city wall.

Hundreds of excited crew members ran to the Japanese village to see how these Japanese people spent the New Year, and to see what local specialties they bought and brought on board.

When I entered the village, the crew was dumbfounded.

One of them lamented: "My hometown is in the ravines and ravines of Wenzhou, and I am also famous for being poor in the local area, but compared with this, I used to live a rich life." ā€

A group of companions nodded in agreement.

I saw that the homes of these Japanese people were supported by a wooden frame, and the outside was all covered with thatch to protect them from the wind and rain, and there was not even a single tile. This is better than this in the old home of a group of sailors, and the cowshed.

When the Japanese saw a group of tall, strong, and handsome Chinese people entering the village, all the families surrounded the crew as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and a group of unpleasant-looking little ladies were even more shy, and threw flattery at the crew on their basis.

Since the departure of the fleet, although the journey has passed through the prosperous western part of the Wa Kingdom, the exploration schedule is tight, and the towns and cities have not stopped long.

Almost everyone has not touched a woman for more than a month, and now even a sow is a sable in the eyes of the hungry crew.

In addition, the Japanese people who came to see the excitement said that they would entertain them, the guests of the upper country, and the crew members couldn't care about the shabby thatched huts and the unclean rice balls of the husks.

The so-called concubines are intentional, and more than 200 crew members have rushed to the homes of the widows who have grown up with a woman.

The crew swallowed the unpalatable rice balls in a few bites, and stared at the young woman who was flattering him in the Japanese family.

Seeing this, the Japanese family smiled and vacated the best room in the house. The young woman in the family was more anxious than the man, and when the family cleaned up the room, they suddenly pulled the longing crew into the room.

Those who have daughters in the Japanese family offer their daughters to the guests of the kingdom to enjoy, and those who do not have daughters take their daughters-in-law and wives on top.

From Chinese New Year's Eve to the eighth night of the human day, the crew stayed day and night in the house of the widow and sang endlessly, busy with the man-making movement.

The men of the Japanese Kingdom sat happily at home, thinking about how long it would take for their wives, daughters-in-law, and daughters to give birth to tall and healthy Shangguo blood, and come out to inherit the family business and glory in the family.

At three o'clock in the morning, Juan Jun opened the door of his cabin with a sore back and looked back at the two white ketones on the bed.

"Although this widow is not very good-looking, she can withstand the whipping of the chief steward because her chest is big enough, her waist is thin, and her body bones are still hard."

Juan Jun glanced at it a few times before going out.

The two widows who flew together night and night were a pair of daughters of the local chief, and they were also a pair of sisters in the Sado country, and they were personally sent by the widow official.

Except for Hu Anjun, the upper echelons of the fleet were all accompanied by these Japanese officials who used the excuse of the Spring Festival to accompany each young Japanese girl.

When the fleet went up to the general manager and down to the ordinary crew members who were sweating on the Japanese girls night and night, the officials of the Japanese Kingdom gathered together and smiled, thinking about how many noble Shangguo bloodlines Sado Province could give birth to next year, and it would become the land of Japanese talents in Fiji twenty years later.

Hu Anjun, who was on the deck to see the scenery, saw Lu Yuanqing walking up with big dark circles under his eyes, and said with a playful smile: "Brother Lu's body is not good, there are still a few days of hard work, this is not good, why don't I help you ask the local Japanese people what is good for replenishing qi, blood and aphrodisiac?" ā€

was told no by Hu Anjun, Lu Yuanqing feigned anger and said: "Brother Hu, let's think about yourself, the two widows are going to squeeze you dry, don't pretend to be calm in front of your brother." ā€

"Ahem......" Hu Anjun coughed dryly, those two widows were very powerful, and the indulgence of night and night really made the body a little weak.

Lu Yuanqing gave Hu Anjun a big disdain and looked at the mountain opposite.

"The chief is overjoyed......"

Several crew members rushed to the deck and shouted to the two chiefs.

"These days, every day is a happy event!" Hu Anjun muttered and asked the leading elderly crew, "What's the good thing about Team Yu?" ā€

"Look, sir." Lao Yu, who was over forty years old, stretched out his hand in front of Hu Anjun's eyes and unfolded it, and the thing he was dragging in his hand shone golden in the sunlight.

"Gold." Hu Anjun exclaimed, and Lu Yuanqing, who was on the side, was also shocked when he heard it, and came up to take a look.

The remaining team has at least five taels of gold in their forehand.

"Where did this come from?" Lu Yuanqing asked eagerly.

Team Yu was chattering with a few crew members: "On the north side of the island, what the Japanese call the Osado Mountains is found in the wooded river on the left side of the mountain that is only two miles from the coast. ā€

Team Yu was pointing to the mountain on the left hand side of Haiwan, where the fleet docked, and said excitedly, "My subordinates inquired, and the local Japanese people don't know that there is gold in the mountain. A certain also found gold near the small river to explore, found a brown stone is very common, a certain has learned a hand of his father's prospecting skills, can be sure that it is with the gold stone, see the gold stone, you can see gold. ā€

"Is what you said true?"

"Subordinates can vouch!"

Team Yu is patting his chest and saying yes.

"Good, good!" Hu Anjun was extremely happy to find a gold mine, but the important thing is that the local Japanese people did not know about it.

"Pass the order, the matter of the gold mine is kept secret, and you must not tell anyone else, so as not to leak it!" Hu Anjun instructed again.

"Subordinates remember the commander's order!" The rest of the team is hugging fists.

Lu Yuanqing was also very happy, and inadvertently sent someone to explore the island and found a gold mine, and the rest of the team was born as a miner, so he couldn't be wrong, and asked Hu Anjun: "What should we do with this gold mine?" ā€

"This is the Wa Kingdom, if the news of the discovery of gold mines spreads, the Wa Kingdom will definitely send people to mine it, so what else can we do. For the time being, I will mark it on the map, and go back to wait for His Highness to decide. ā€

When Lu Yuanqing heard this, he also felt that this method was the only feasible way at the moment.

Later, under the tearful gaze of a group of Japanese women, the Lelanghai expedition set sail and left, and Hu Anjun deliberately sailed the fleet to the location where the gold mine was discovered, and went to the ground under the clear mark on the newly drawn map of Sado country.

At the same time, the Southeast China Sea expedition team docked in the bay of an island in the shape of a chicken's head in the Great Ryukyu to rest for the New Year (Keelung Bay on the island of Taiwan), and the crew who came ashore accidentally found gold sand in the river six miles from the bay, the amount of which was not small, and shocked the entire fleet.
