Of course, they didn't know that many years later, this plain would become the largest city in Australia and the most important city in the Tang Dynasty colonization, called 'Guigu City', in order to commemorate Xu Yang, the pioneer of the Tang Dynasty.

'Guigu City, founded by Xu Yang, a navigator of the Tang Dynasty and a disciple of the twenty-first generation of Guigu, has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's colonization of the world. ――――"Chronicles of the Tang Dynasty"

"Hey, Sora, is this where the gold is in front of you?" Xu Yang asked a little girl with black and yellow skin on his face full of excitement.

"There's gold in front of you." The little girl took her younger brother and grinned, pointing from time to time to point to the gold hanging from her neck, and then to the river in front of her.

"Haha, it's finally here." Xu Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, it was hot to walk under the sun, not to mention that it was still near the equator.

Cheng Chumo was wearing a T-shirt, standing on a stone in the distance and shouting, "Big brother! Come and see! There's gold here! ”

Xu Yang ignored him, but took out a small glass bottle from behind him, took out two pieces of sugar from the bottle, stuffed the sugar cubes into the hands of the little native, and said, "Thank you for leading the way, Sora." ”

The name Solama looked at the sugar in Xu Yang's hand, his saliva was about to stay, he wiped his hands, carefully took the sugar cube, and gave a piece of sugar to his younger brother, and he gently put the sugar cube in his mouth, his face full of happiness.

His younger brother, who was only eight or nine years old, hurriedly stuffed the candy cube into his mouth, as if he had eaten the best thing in the world.

Xu Yang pointed to the sugar cubes in the glass bottle and taught them to speak: "Sugar." ”

"Sugar." The little girl and the little boy both said crisply. Then the little girl smiled a little, pointed to her mouth and said, "The sugar is delicious"

Xu Yang smiled with satisfaction, then pointed to the river, then pointed to the glass bottle, and said, "Work, sugar." ”

"Hee-hee-hee, work candy." The little girl and her brother said happily together.

"Hey, I said big brother, you like to teach them to talk so much." Cheng Chumo waited for a while and didn't see Xu Yang pass, but he ran back.

"Children are the flowers of the motherland, these indigenous people are now the people of the Tang Dynasty, although the status is not as high as the Tang people, but they always need to be educated, teach them to understand the saint rites, and it is convenient to communicate with us in the future." Xu Yang looks like a saint.

"No, when I was on Ryukyu Island and Luzon Island, when I killed those natives, I didn't see my eldest brother and you wanted to teach them the saint ceremony." Cheng Chumo looked incredulous.

"Those natives have killed the people of the Tang Dynasty, this is essentially different from these peaceful natives, those people are the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, must be eliminated, these are not, these people are the future labor force of the Tang Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty is strong, but it is impossible to rule the whole world by itself, we must let the natives learn to manage themselves, so that the Tang Dynasty can have a steady stream of manpower available in the future, understand?" Xu Yang looked profound.

Cheng Chu scratched his head silently, and finally didn't plan to continue thinking about it, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, there is gold in the river ahead." ”

"Let's go, let's see." Xu Yang felt good about himself, and chanted two lines of poetry as he walked, "Ask the canal to be as clear as possible, for there is a source of living water." It was amazed by the accompanying historian and included it in the "Voyage Record".

This time, there were a lot of people who came out to look for gold, divided into more than a dozen teams, all of which were led by local natives to find gold, Xu Yang felt that there must be a large gold vein near here, so he also traveled in person, and Cheng Chumo and a team came out to find gold.

In front of it is a clear river, unlike the sewage river that was polluted and full of green algae in later generations, the river here is as clear as glass, and you can see the swimming fish in the river on the water surface, and more importantly, you can see the golden sand in the river water, and some small pieces of gold.

The river is very shallow, Cheng Chumo directly rolled up his pants under the protection of the two sergeants, and went down to the river to fish for gold, Xu Yang was more sorry for his life, although he was looking forward to the activities of going down to the river to fish for gold, but he would never risk himself, he squatted on the bank and picked up some gold scattered on the gravel beach.

Cheng Chumo was having fun at this time, there was a lot of gold in this river, and he picked up a bag of gold in a short time.

At this moment, one of the guards beside him suddenly tripped over a large boulder in the water, and fell into the water with a 'plop', causing a splash that caused everyone to laugh, and even the two little natives on the shore who led the way giggled.

"Stupid, such a clumsy thing." Cheng Chumo also scolded with a smile.

"The last general deserves to die, please punish the general." The sergeant hurriedly knelt down in the water.

"It's okay, be happy today, don't care."

"Huh?" The sergeant was bowing his head and confessing his guilt, but he couldn't help but put his hand into the water and pulled out a large lump of mud.

"You kid dug out a piece of mud to do, and thought it was gold" Cheng Chumo saw the sergeant dig out a big piece of mud, and was about to laugh at it, but as soon as the water flushed, a large piece of mud fell off the top, revealing the golden appearance inside, and suddenly it seemed like someone had choked his neck, and he couldn't say a word.

Many sergeants also came up, up and down, and suddenly, a huge piece of gold appeared in front of everyone.

Cheng Chumo's mouth opened as if he could stuff an egg, but he swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, and said with difficulty: "Your kid is really lucky, this gold nugget is a few pounds, it's enough for your family to buy a house in Chang'an."

The sergeant was already a little speechless with excitement, so he could only tremble and say, "Such valuable things are still obtained by the general." ”

Cheng Chumo's face turned stern, and he asked sharply: "What is Article 8 of the "Overseas Navigation Code" of my Datang Expeditionary Fleet? ”

The sergeant took a big breath before he cautiously said, "Those who participate in the voyage, with the consent of their superiors, what they find belongs to themselves."

"Now General Ben agrees, this piece of gold is yours to find, and it will naturally belong to you."

Cheng Chumo's words almost didn't make such a sergeant faint with excitement, so he had to kneel in the water and keep kowtowing to express his gratitude.

Xu Yang stood on the shore and witnessed the whole process of the incident, only to see him shout to the other sergeants: "I suspect that there is a huge gold deposit in the ground here, let's divert the water flow and dig into the ground from here." ”

Sure enough, a vein of gold was found at the bottom of the river, the reserves are unknown, but the gold content is very high, and a few small pieces of gold can be found under almost every shovel.

The people of the entire fleet, except for the sergeants who carried out daily maintenance on the ship, almost all of them got off the ship, and the natives on the island are now communicating more and more closely with the people of Datang, and their learning ability and imitation ability are very strong, and many of them can now speak some simple words.

The natives are very enthusiastic, and they will do their best to help the people of the Tang Dynasty if they need anything, especially when the base areas on the plains are built, they have also made a lot of efforts, but these natives have no self-knowledge, and the definition of personal property is very vague, and they once moved the supplies of the Datang soldiers from the boat and ate them, which made Niu Jinda angry.

Reasoning with them, they didn't understand, and they kindly gave the 'stolen' food to the cattle to eat, which made a group of Tang soldiers cry and laugh.

In short, educating these natives has become a part of the daily life of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty

"Boy, we've been in Australia long enough, when are we going to the Americas to find those high-yielding crops you are talking about?" Niu Jinda sat in the newly built wooden house a little anxiously and said.

"Uncle Niu, I won't continue to walk here, you can continue to set off at any time." Xu Yang wiped the screen of his phone and said.

"Well, judging from the map, this sea area called the Pacific Ocean is indeed very large, and it is conservatively estimated that it will sail for a month with full sails and full of steam power, so in order to save time, Ben decided to gather the sergeants and set off tomorrow, this time with only a small number of people, in order to reduce the use of food and fresh water." Niu Jinda said seriously.

"Okay, when Uncle Niu returns, I will let Uncle Niu see a brand new Datang Australian base." Xu Yang said confidently. RS
