Feng Changming, who was in charge of Taiwan's gold mining, dropped his cup angrily after receiving Xue Maoxun's reply. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the mountain valley of the middle and upper reaches of the Keelung River in Taiwan, the enrichment of gold ore has amazed the old miners who have mined gold for half their lives, and Xunjinwei has only mined here for more than three months, and has mined 5,000 taels of gold.

However, the news of Taiwan's gold mines was published in the "Overseas Strange Stories" at the end of last year, and the news spread to Jiangnan Province in less than a month, causing many miners in Jiangnan Province to live in distress to be hot, and they couldn't wait for the end of the New Year.

In the past two months, there have been 7,800 gold seekers from all walks of life traveling through the middle and upper reaches of the Keelung River, and it is estimated that as many as 10,000 taels of gold have been stolen.

These gold seekers worked with their relatives and friends to form several villages in the local area that were not controlled by the government, and they used force to protect themselves from each other.

Due to the increasing number of people looking for gold, fish and snakes are mixed, and they belong to the government's disregard. In addition to gold theft, during this period of time in the mountains, gold seekers often robbed money and killed people.

Just a few days ago, a gang of bandits who were rampant in the mountains and specialized in killing people and robbing money actually hit the gold guards with their ideas and intercepted and killed five gold guards who went out to prospect for mines.

Seeing that the situation in the Keelung River Gold Belt was becoming more and more chaotic, Feng Changming couldn't sit still.

Not to mention the theft of the property of Yanwang's Mansion, these private gold miners dared to hit the gold seeker with their ideas, and in anger, they wanted to send troops to arrest them.

However, the Jinwei is not a combat unit, and it is only a part of the Jinwei in Taiwan, with a total strength of only 200 troops, and they are responsible for guarding the gold mines and guarding the miners.

originally wanted to let Xue Maoxun, the governor of Taiwan, send troops to arrest the illegal gold miners, but was refused, Feng Changming was angry but helpless.

In desperation, Feng Changming took out the passage to the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and the Yanwang Mansion for the chapter of King Yan, and wrote the current problems in Taiwan's gold mines with a pen, and requested that the gold guards be given additional troops in order to control the entire gold belt.

The mountains in the night seem exceptionally quiet, Feng Changming looked at the starry sky with emotion, in just three years, followed King Yan from Chang'an to Youzhou, and then to Anton, and now he has come to the populated Taiwan to preside over gold mining.

"Look, Huang Daguang's village is on fire."

A village on the other side of the hill from the Jinwei gold mine was on fire, and the guards in charge of the guard exclaimed, and the soldiers in the tent heard about it and ran out to check.

Feng Changming looked over and remembered that it was a small village built by a group of children of the same clan led by an old man from Wenzhou to mine gold here, with only more than 20 people.

"I heard that Huang Daguang and they have discovered a great gold mine, and they have mined a lot of gold in the past half month, and it is estimated that they were targeted by the gang of thieves in the mountains, and they attacked them tonight."

"That gang of thieves is cruel and ruthless, Huang Daguang and they are planted tonight."

"That old man Huang is quite gentle and righteous, but he didn't expect to suffer from this."

"There's a saying that isn't it good, good people don't live often, and disasters will last for thousands of years!"

"That means you'd rather be a bad person than a good person?"

"Ridiculous! If you can't be a good person, you can be a bad person, what kind of fallacy is this? Can a person who does bad things have a good reward? Buddhism has a saying, it's not that you don't report it, but the time has not come! ”

Seeing that the more his subordinates talked, the more ridiculous it became, and the brigade commander came up with a stinking scolding, and several soldiers quickly closed their mouths and looked at the brigade commander a little timidly.

The brigade commander glanced at the firelight on the opposite mountain, came behind Feng Changming and said: "Captain Feng, that old man Huang is a very good person, and he has some friendship with us. ”

"Tomorrow morning, when it dawns, you can take someone to take a look, and you can help if you can."

After speaking, Feng Changming turned around and went back to his tent, the brigade commander opened his mouth, and finally went back to sleep with a long sigh.

Seeing that the officials were gone, the soldiers had no choice but to disperse, leaving only the vigilant guards to make the thieves bigger, in case the gang of thieves came to attack their idea of looking for Jinwei.

At dawn, when the brigade commander and dozens of his subordinates ran to Huang Laohan's village on the opposite mountain, there were only ruins and a dozen mutilated corpses left.

As for the gold they found, it was a little left by the thieves.

……

With the arrival of immigrants in the small city of Taipei, the city has become more and more lively.

It's just that at this time, in addition to the military camp and the yamen of the Governor's Mansion, Taipei City did not even have an inn, wine shop, or restaurant, let alone a commercial place for all kinds of trading.

The people who came here, the rich merchants and the powerful temporarily lived in their own boats, and the ordinary people had boats to live in, and those who rented a boat could only go ashore to build a shack, and either bring their own food or go to the forest to hunt, fish in the river, and pick some wild vegetables to live.

Some business-minded people began to set up small stalls in the city, selling their prey from hunting and fishing, and after obtaining the money, they exchanged some rice for food from those who carried more grain.

The businessmen who lived on the ship could not sit still, knowing that Taipei City would become more and more important with the gradual increase of immigrants and the development of Taiwan Island, creating strong business opportunities in this city.

As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and if you don't take the opportunity, it's fleeting, not to mention that there are so many peers competing.

In the incomprehensible eyes of a group of powerful people and ordinary people, a group of businessmen rushed to the yamen of the governor's mansion and paid money to buy a piece of land in the city to build a building.

Since these merchants were willing to pay money to buy land in the city and spontaneously build Taipei City, Xue Maoxun was very happy and generously sold the land on both sides of the main road in the city to the merchants.

Nuo is not the secretary in charge reminded that there must be two cities in the city, otherwise Taipei City will become the first city under the rule of the Tang Dynasty that has not set up a city specifically for commercial transactions.

Xue Maoxun was born as a martial artist, and his brain was as big as his grandfather's, except that the secretary in charge proposed that there must be two cities outside the city. For example, there can be no commercial trading places in the city except for the city, the land in the city can only be leased by the government to merchants, and the fangs where residents live must be separated by fang walls.

Not only did he sell the land on both sides of the main road in the city to the merchants, but he also sold the land of the two cities that had carved out the east and west. Not only did Fang not plan to build a wall, but he also thought it was too troublesome for the Governor's Mansion to build it, so he directly packaged it to the merchants, and whatever they tossed, he wholeheartedly dispatched troops to prepare for the westward expedition.

With such a governor who does not rely on the general public, Taipei City has become the first commercial transaction in the Tang Dynasty that is not limited to the city, there is no wall to separate the city, and the non-official land in the city is privately owned, which has led to the prosperity of the real estate market in Taipei City.

By the time the magnates outside the city knew the motives of the merchants rushing to the Governor's Mansion, it was too late, and the merchants had bought all the land in the city, and they didn't even have half a piece of land when they found the Governor's Mansion.

When I went to buy it from the merchants who got the land, the price was three or four times more expensive, and the powerful people couldn't help but scold their mothers.
