The turquoise and clear sea is endless, the white sand beach is as delicate and flawless as a girl's skin, unknown seabirds are circling in the blue sky, and the waves are faintly washing the coast, Jiang Yin is dressed in a Song Dynasty scholar's uniform, strolling on this uninhabited beach, behind him, followed by two bodyguards, it is Lin Yue and Di Yan.

Although it is already October, the sunshine in Australia is still scorching, Lin Yue took out a pair of sunglasses from his shirt and put them on his eyes, with his Song Dynasty customer service looks very nondescript.

"This place is really good." After looking at the wonderful sea view, Lin Yue nodded with satisfaction.

"Hey, Lao Lin, let me tell you, the place we are standing on now, that is Melbourne, one of the top cities in Australia, in our modern era, there is not a few hundred square meters of land here, and you can't buy it if you want to."

"It's really fake, I thought that the housing prices in Fengjing were high enough, and you told me that this place where birds don't can be sold for millions?"

"How else can I lie to you? This is where I came when I went abroad with the army for anti-terrorism training in 09, and many foreigners who are worth more than 100 million yuan like to buy a seaside villa in this place, and they really don't want to be able to buy a piece of land here without millions of dollars. Di Yan said confidently.

Not far from the two of them, in the subtropical eucalyptus forest, there were a few koalas who had just woken up from a nap, and when they saw someone approaching, these little things were not alarmed, they still looked lazy and half-lying on the branches, which looked very cute.

"It's not just the scenery that's valuable, it's the things down there that are even more valuable." Jiang Yin, who had been walking in front of the two and had not spoken, suddenly stepped on his feet and said loudly.

"Jiang Shao, is there a diamond under the ground here?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

"There are no diamonds, but it's not bad, and what is buried under this is gold."

On May 15, 1851, the Sydney Morning Herald in British Australia published the news that a man named Edward Hargret had discovered a rich gold deposit in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia, and he had named the place after the biblical gold city of Ophel. As soon as this news was published, within ten days thousands of people had left everything behind and arrived at Ophel, and many more were on their way to Auphil, some in wagons, some in small carts, and many more on their shoulders, carrying simple tools and covers, in a slow and arduous trek through the primeval jungle.

Soon, as the scale of excavation expanded, a small place called Melbourne in New South Wales found a richer reserve of gold, which made the whole of Australia even more crazy, and for a while, the discovery of gold became the topic of conversation with almost everyone in Australia. "The riverbed of Australia is covered with glittering gold, like grains of wheat in the snow", "Someone chopped out 4,000 pounds worth of gold with an axe!" "These rumors spread like lightning to Europe, the Americas, and Asia, and provoked a fortune**.

Thousands of gold prospectors from all countries, selling their houses, throwing their land behind, risking their lives across the oceans and flocking to the jungles of Australia in desperation.

Australia, once a place of British exile, quickly became a hotspot in the world. In Britain and China, ports such as Liverpool and Mersey are crowded with ships bound for Australia. In Australia, ships waiting to dock outside the port of Melbourne are even more overwhelmed with masts. In just 10 years, Australia's population has almost tripled from 400,000 to 11.45 million, and Melbourne, the centre of gold mining, has grown from a few thousand households to more than 40,000.

The amount of gold produced in Melbourne shocked the world, and the huge gold production even surpassed that of San Francisco in the United States, which later became famous in San Francisco, and in order to highlight Melbourne's status, the city was later officially called the 'New Gold Mountain' in China to distinguish it.

Now the land under Jiang Yin's feet is the new gold mountain of the future: Melbourne

After listening to Jiang Yin's explanation, Lin Yue and Di Yan both showed eager eyes, and Lin Yue couldn't wait to ask: "Jiang Shao, since there is so much gold here, shall we recruit people from the Bianjing City now to mine the gold mines here?!" ”

But Jiang Yin shook his head, only to hear him say with a little thought: "Last time we donated 1,500 pieces of body armor to the imperial court, all of them have been transported to the border outpost, judging from the news from Cangzhou, the body armor has played a very big role in the fight against the Khitans, and the invulnerable body has made the Khitan vanguard chaotic, and now the Great Song Dynasty has the capital to gain a firm foothold, with this contribution, not to mention maps and photos, this one alone is enough for Zhao Kuangyin to carry out a not low reward, so I estimate that after we go back, Soon I will be summoned again. ”

"Jiang Shao is reasonable, but I still don't know what Jiang Shao's plans are?"

Jiang Yin turned his head and smiled at Lin Yue and said, "After this reward, I plan to ask for an order to go to the Yanyun border and develop our power in the Great Song Dynasty on a large scale."

After printing the newspaper in the morning, Jiang Yin took Lin Yue Diyan to Australia, arranged the next trip plan in the Great Song Dynasty, and Jiang Yin went to Bianjing Supermarket at noon to entertain those dignitaries, and now the newly listed goods have received those enthusiastic pursuits, and in the afternoon, he finally got a leisure, and went back to the residence next to Xiangguo Temple, planning to rest for an afternoon.

However, as Jiang Yin expected in Australia, the envoy of Comrade Lao Zhao's decree arrived.

Lao Zhao's envoy is eight eunuchs, when they arrived in the mansion, Jiang Yin was still drinking tea in the mansion, the local tea in the Great Song Dynasty is too weird, there is actually salt in the tea, Jiang Yin since the last time he sprayed it in the teahouse, he is thinking about bringing modern tea to the Song Dynasty, and I feel that the sales should be good.

was drinking tea, and the next person came to report in a panic, saying that a group of fathers-in-law had come to announce the decree with a gold medal, and they had already entered the outer mansion, and they were about to arrive at the inner mansion.

Lao Zhao's envoy has a total of eight old eunuchs, all of them in black eunuch clothes, this is not an ordinary eunuch costume, only the eunuchs in charge of the court above six grades are qualified to wear this dress, but in the entire palace, the number of such fathers-in-law will not exceed thirty, which is also announcing the importance of the emperor's summons.

Several fathers-in-law and Jiang Yin met in the living room, and the father-in-law who was the leader took out a golden scroll from his sleeve, spread his hands, and looked like a decree.

Jiang Yin, who was originally sitting on the main seat, also hurriedly got up and knelt down towards the holy decree, seeing that the holy decree was like the presence of the Son of Heaven in person, this ritual can be adopted by the locals.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: 'Xuan Sanpin Imperial Doctor Jiang Yi Nian will meet you'~" In just one sentence, the old man who was the leader closed the scroll in his hand after reading it, and smiled at Jiang Yin: "Imperial Doctor Jiang, please." ”
