Chapter 141: Gold Mine

The pampered dog slave king is no match for the former Jinyi Guards at all, under the means of these Jinyi Guards. But after a while, the dog slave king will explain everything.

The place where the gold mine is located has been tortured.

Zhu Houhuang waved his hand and asked the team to encircle and suppress the dog slave country, and he took more than 100 personal soldiers to press the dog slave king to find the location of the gold mine.

The place where the gold mine is located, not far from the North Port. It's in the mountains east of North Harbor.

"Your Highness, come and see." One of the soldiers suddenly shouted. A group of soldiers gathered around, and Zhu Houhuang walked over, naturally parting a road.

Zhu Houhuang stepped on the pebbles by the stream, looked over, but found that it was just an ordinary stream, and there was nothing different.

Li Liangqin is a martial arts practitioner with sharp eyes. said: "Your Highness, look at this sand. ”

The water of the stream is very clear, and Zhu Houhuang can see the bottom at a glance. Found some gold in the sand by the river. He looked closely, and it was not the reflection of the sun, but the real golden sand.

Zhu Houhuang was overjoyed and said: "You all go down to search for golden sands, and the golden sands you find today are all your own." ”

Zhu Houhuang gave an order, and all the soldiers around him were overjoyed, scrambling to be the first, and jumped into the stream without even rolling their trouser legs.

For a while, the stream splashed, and countless soldiers kept tossing in the water as if they were children.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. His Highness. Li Liangqin, Li Shigui, and others congratulated in unison.

The discovery of gold was within Zhu Houhuang's expectations, but how early it was discovered was beyond Zhu Houhuang's expectations. Zhu Houhuang looked at the sky and said, "Remember here, go back first." I'll come back tomorrow to open the mine. ”

More than 100 personal soldiers around Zhu Houhuang tossed in the stream for a long time, because they had no effective tools. Didn't make much of the sands. The larger pieces were also sent to Zhu Houhuang's hands.

Zhu Houhuang pinched the gold nuggets in his hand, these natural gold ores, as if they were golden melon seeds.

After returning to North Harbor, the Dog Slave Kingdom has become history. More than 10,000 men, women, and children from the dog slave country were all taken captive to Beigang. For a time, the manpower for the construction of Beigang was accumulated.

However, there are good and bad, Zhu Houhuang captured the dog slave king and wiped out the dog slave king's headquarters. But it can be regarded as a complete fall out with the dog slave country.

Since then, these mountain people have been harassing Beigang, and I am afraid that the life of Beigang will not be too stable in the future.

The entire Dongyong Island, except for the fields reclaimed by Zhu Houhuang, is all primitive landforms. The Han people found it inconvenient, but these barbarians were like fish in water. Thinking of this, Zhu Houhuang frowned.

"Your Highness is worried about the other barbarians?" Li Shigui said.

Zhu Houhuang weighed the golden melon seeds in his hand, squeezed them in his palm, and said, "Master Li, what do you think?" ”

Li Shigui's injuries were not completely healed, and the wounds all over his body hurt again after days of hard work, but at this moment he didn't realize it at all, he was filled with the impulse to make meritorious contributions, and said: "The minister has been in Beigang for many years, and he has some understanding of the barbarians in various places, although the dog slave country is the largest force in the vicinity, but the other tribes and the dog slave country are not of the same heart, if His Royal Highness can trust the minister, the minister please visit the barbarian department, and make the barbarian department listen to His Highness's orders with a three-inch tongue." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Then please Master Li." ”

Li Shigui personally asked for his life, Zhu Houhuang naturally would not refuse, if he could complete the task, Zhu Houhuang would definitely have a heavy reward, but he did not put all his hopes on Li Shigui.

The opening up of living space is like bringing iron and blood, and it is okay for these barbarians to surrender, if they have to go against him, Zhu Houhuang is not the kind of person who can't see blood.

After Zhu Houhuang returned to Beigang, within three days, Yang Shen came to Beigang.

Yang Shen came here for the gold mine.

Together with Yang Shen, Zhu Houhuang once again explored for gold.

This time, I didn't just look at the golden sand in the stream, but found the ore vein in the mountains east of Beigang.

The gold mines are already showing signs of being dug by barbarians, which is why they are so easy to spot.

Yang Shen is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and has a good understanding of exploration veins. I also have a little understanding, and when I saw this gold mine, I said: "This gold mine is not small, when His Highness is using money, there is this gold mine, it is really blessed." Congratulations to Your Highness. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Although this gold mine is valuable, Gu doesn't care too much. What I care about is what will happen to the people everywhere after this gold mine spreads? ”

Before Yang Shen came, there were still some psychological struggles. Secretly said: "If His Royal Highness King Yong wants me to hide the matter of this gold mine, what should I do, should I hide it, or should I return it truthfully?" It's just that he never expected it. King Yong wants to announce this matter to the world.

Yang Shen couldn't figure it out for a while, but he knew that the gold and silver mines in various parts of the Ming Dynasty were either in the hands of the internal supervisors, and the gold and silver mines mined were directly imported into the inner as the emperor's gold and silver.

Others were concealed by the local gentry in every possible way, and did not dare to make them public.

Yang Shen couldn't twist for a while, and then he figured it out.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Lone will make this gold mine public, there must be a lot of people coming to pan for gold, there are people in Si Tu and Si for a country, only gold and silver things, not real wealth, only the people Dingkou, is the real wealth, let Lone choose, Lone would rather not have a gold mine, but must be a strong population." ”

Yang Shen let out a long breath and said, "Your Highness is wise. ”

This sentence is true. Zhu Houhuang's remarks are in line with the principle of valuing people over money. Yang Shen asked, "What is Your Highness going to do?" ”

Zhu Houhuang didn't have any specific ideas for a while, he just learned from a lot of lessons from the back car called San Francisco. Attract people with gold mines, and even if the gold mines are dug up, a city will be left behind.

Yang Shen said: "This matter will be handed over to the minister." ”

Zhu Houhuang came from later generations, and many ways of thinking about doing things were very different from those of the Ming people, but Zhu Houhuang grew up in the courtyard of the deep palace. I don't know much about the folk affairs of the Ming Dynasty, so he can put forward ideas, and he will not be able to grasp the specific evolution of this idea into a ruling measure, which is also Zhu Houhuang's shortcoming, Zhu Houhuang also realized his own shortcomings, and only after he realized his own shortcomings, he must set up a Yongwang Xiang to share it with himself.

Yang Shen came to Beigang, and Zhu Houhuang liked to relax.

Li Shigui ran for more than ten days, and several tribes near Beigang all lost their sincerity to Beigang. Although it was only nominal, it also settled down in the vicinity of North Port.

Zhu Houhuang rewarded meritorious deeds and established Beigang County. And Li Shigui became the Beigang County Commander. However, at this time, Beigang County is simply an empty shelf. There were many Han people to whom he belonged, and there were many prisoners. However, Li Shigui is already very satisfied with this.

In the past month, Zhu Houhuang has reached a shelf in Beigang County, and left more than 100 elite soldiers to guard this place. And reach the shelf of a county soldier.

Although Dayuan and Penghu were peaceful, the county soldiers of the two counties could not stay here for too long, so Zhu Houhuang asked them to go back in batches. In addition, during this period of time, Xu Dong was not idle, he roamed back and forth near Beigang, swept away all the pirates on the nearby desert islands, captured all of them, and sent them to Beigang, establishing the hegemony of the Yongguo Navy near Beigang.

Yang Shen didn't stay here for a few days, and returned to Dayuan again.

Yang Shen has already released the news, and from time to time, people come across the sea, in an endless stream, all of them come to the gold mine, but these people who cross the sea to pan for gold are often not peaceful people. However, in just a few days, there were several chaos in Beigang, and Zhu Houhuang had no choice but to leave Yu Dayou behind and appoint him as the county lieutenant of Beigang to press the ground.

Yongguo's current center of gravity is still in the south, Zhu Houhuang is not good to stay here for a long time, after seeing that this place is safe and sound, he left by boat again, and with him is Xu Dong's entire fleet, except for leaving a few ships to garrison the port. All transferred to the south.

The Yongguo Water Division is also divided into two parts, one in Penghu and the other in Beigang. However, now the Beigang Naval Division is still a shelf, and only Zhu Houhuang can expand again when he has money in the future.

When Zhu Houhuang sailed to the south, he did not know that a great storm was about to sweep from the south. It was he who came to Dao Dongyong and encountered the biggest crisis.
