Chapter 18: Gold Rush
Liu Yuetian was looking around, and suddenly the system voice in his head sounded again: detecting signs of heavy metals and scanning this area...... The scanning area is two square kilometers and the depth is three meters, and the judgment result is that the silt in the river contains gold, the purity is 70%, and 33 taels of ......... can be directly collected.
At the same time, the system appeared in Liu Yuetian's mind to scan the area, and hundreds of shining light spots appeared in the area, which should be the location of the gold.
"Golden .........."
Liu Yuetian's expression was extremely rich at the moment.
Liu Yuetian's intelligence reached one hundred, and three special effects appeared in the system, namely clever speech, insight and mineral scanning, and now the system automatically scanned this area to contain gold.
Thirty-three taels of gold, converted into more than four hundred taels of silver, this is not a small amount, equivalent to four hundred taels of white rice, and this is only an area within two square kilometers.
"No wonder it's called Jinsha River, it turns out that there is really gold, it seems that I am going to be developed."
Liu Yuetian was secretly happy, but his face remained unchanged.
The group did not return to the garrison until evening, and found that the dilapidated courtyard had been renovated, the original overgrown ground in the courtyard was as flat as new, and three simple marching tents had been set up outside the courtyard, enough for Zhang Xing and other twenty guards to live, all of which were done by Shile faction.
"This Shile is quite careful."
Liu Yuetian secretly noted down the other party's favor.
"Master, do you really want to farm your own land?"
What Liu Yuetian did today made Xiao Lu puzzled, why did the master's temperament suddenly change so much, first exempted most of the taxes, and then said that he farmed the land, is this still what the prince did? Could it be that a serious illness made the owner lose his brain?
However, Liu Yuetian's actions made Zhang Xingsan and others feel cordial, and they felt that it was a lucky thing to follow such a master, so the loyalty of these people also changed, from forty to forty-five, and Liu Yuetian's merit value also increased by one hundred points.
"That's natural, but, small stove, Xingsan, you cook me something to eat first, I'm really hungry after a busy day."
"Cooking? Master, I'm afraid the silver taels we brought will only be enough for another two months, what will we do after two months? ”
The little stove complained.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, from now on our good days are coming, hehe, you'll know in a few days."
Liu Yuetian is now full of confidence, he has discovered the secret of the Jinsha River, and the gold is not endless? However, this matter must be kept secret, and only those who are present know about it.
The next day before dawn, Liu Yuetian and others got up early, Xiaolu and others naturally didn't know what was going on, they followed Liu Yuetian quietly left the station, at this time it was the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the temperature in the early morning of Saibei had fallen below zero, the cold wind was biting, most of the residents in the city had not gotten up, but those on the street who were working and cleaning the toilet had already begun to work, they pulled the carriage between the streets, and then transported the garbage outside the city, Liu Yuetian and these people secretly followed dozens of carriages and soon went out of the city, and the guards at the head of the city hid in the battlements to avoid the cold at this time, and they did not find Liu Yuetian's two dozen people.
"Where are we going?"
Xiao Lu asked tremblingly following behind Liu Yuetian.
"Go dig for gold.........!"
"Digging for gold? What gold to dig for? ”
The little stove startled.
"Haven't you heard that there is gold in the Jinsha River? We went to dig for gold in the river. ”
"What? My lord! Your brain is really broken, there is gold in the Jinsha River, that's a legend, no one has dug it for so many years, you actually said to go to the river to dig gold? ”
The small stove jumped three feet high, and he almost fainted with anger, Zhang Xingsan and the others were dumbfounded when they heard it, the prince actually believed this legendary thing.
"Shout what to shout! You're just having a bad brain? Since I asked you to dig gold with me, you will definitely be able to dig it, and you will be able to dig it in a while, and then it will be too late for you to be happy, so don't talk nonsense, come with me quickly. ”
Xiao Luzi and the others didn't believe Liu Yuetian's words a hundred times, but they were princes, and everything had to obey his orders, so they had no choice but to follow, and they soon came to the place before.
Liu Yuetian didn't say a word, took off his coat, rolled up his trousers, rushed down to the mudflat, bent down and began to dig violently.
With the help of the system, Liu Yuetian knew that the piece of golden sand was one meter below, but the mud was very thick, and it would take at least half an hour for one person to do it.
The group of people in the small furnace didn't say a word, just stood aside and looked at this stupid prince.
"Little stove, line three, what are you two doing standing stupidly? Come and help! The others are there, and they dig me three feet there! ”
Liu Yuetian shouted.
Those people came over with a bitter face, this is a muddy place, one foot goes directly to the knees, the cold river water with ice ballast is cold to the bone marrow, Zhang Xingsan They are a little better, they are from a poor background, this crime is nothing, the small stove is miserable, the cold is trembling, and the hands and feet can't move.
"Quick, quick, I'm going to dig it right away!"
Liu Yuetian's body couldn't help trembling, but the mental excitement was like a stimulant, and he couldn't feel how cold he was for a while.
With a cup of tea, Liu Yuetian took out a piece of pitch-black mud and sand from the deep mud, and he slowly shook off the silt on it, revealing a handful of fine river sand, and in this river sand, there are two yellow and bright "small stones" the size of plant seeds.
"Haha, little stove, what do you think this is?"
Liu Yuetian shouted.
The little stove next to him and Zhang Xingsan also saw these two small pieces of "gravel".
"What is this?"
Zhang Xingsan didn't know what this thing was, but the little stove recognized it at a glance.
"Sands ......! That's right, it's the Sands .........! ”
Xiao Luzi screamed and danced excitedly, but he forgot that his legs were still stuck in the mud, and his body fell to the side as soon as he was crooked, but fortunately, Zhang Xingsan on the side grabbed him.
If the small stove in the past had seen more gold and silver, Jinsha would not even have looked at it, but now it is different, it is almost to the point of exhaustion, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.
"We've found out, too!"
Soon the others also found out, and everyone held one or two small pieces of yellow cancan sand and handed them to Liu Yuetian.
"It's all gold! Don't be idle, everyone, dig according to the place I told you, haha, we sent it! ”
Hearing the word gold, everyone's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, they pouted their butts and dug up frantically, and they were all forgotten about the cold river water or the cold wind.
