"Sir, you can return to the ship with confidence, and when you come back next time, the last general will definitely have built the castle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"On a simple dock, Sean said goodbye to Chen Xu, after arduous investigation, Chen Xu finally found a suitable port on the west coast of the North American continent, and arranged for Sean to lead a thousand men to be stationed again, Chen Xu helped Sean build the framework of the rudimentary dock and the castle and then had to prepare to return to Daming, and Sean and others will stay here while cultivating the fields and building the castle, so as to build a perfect bridgehead for the later army.

"It may be a long time before Admiral Ben arrives here again, but now there are only more than a thousand of you Chinese people left on this continent." Chen Xu was also quite emotional, although he had prepared sufficient food, ammunition and other materials for Shaun and them, it was too far to reach here from Daming, and he did not dare to guarantee that these materials could support the next delivery of supplies by the Daming fleet.

"Sir, please rest assured, the last general will take good care of these brothers." Sean seemed full of confidence, "There is no Jiannu within a radius of 100 miles, there are only a few weak indigenous tribes around, if there is not enough food to eat in the future, we will rob them, only with knives and guns in hand, we will not starve to death." ”

"That's fine, when you return to Daming, this admiral will ask for credit for you and these soldiers." According to Li You's will, these soldiers who went overseas to fight for the Ming Dynasty, whether they were paid, pensioned or promoted, were much more generous than the local soldiers, and he also hoped to use this policy to persuade more Ming people to enter the expeditionary team, otherwise, Sean would not have obtained such a high status in such a short period of time.

After another exhortation, Chen Xu turned around and got on the ship, and after a while, the fleet set sail and gradually disappeared below sea level, until the last mast disappeared, Sean and the others reluctantly left, and I don't know when we will meet again, "Let's go, it's been delayed for so long today, and I have to work harder to catch up with the progress." "Now they are really alone, so they have to hurry up and build the castle so that they can have a safe place.

Since then, Sean has divided the more than 1,000 soldiers into three groups, the largest group of 500 people, who are responsible for building castles, and 300 people who are responsible for hunting and cultivating fields, although there is still plenty of food now, but it is not wrong to make more preparations, and finally 200 people are responsible for scouting around, while drawing maps of the places they go, while collecting intelligence, to see what indigenous tribes are nearby, what their strength is, and what resources can be used nearby, these three waves of people are constantly rotating, building cities today, Tomorrow I will hunt and open up the wasteland, and the day after tomorrow I will go around to investigate the information, so as to maintain the state, so that I will not forget my instinct to fight after working for a long time.

Gradually, a strong castle began to take shape not far from the port, and a large area of cultivated land was also reclaimed around the castle, and the soldiers carefully cared for the green seedlings that had just grown, most of these soldiers were from peasant families, and they were not much weaker than marching and fighting in battle, and the scope of exploration of the surroundings was gradually expanded, and at the beginning they could go back and forth in the same day, and now every time they went out, they had to carry tents and dry food, and rest outside for a night or two before they could come back.

On this day, it was Sean's turn to take people out to find out the situation, and he walked along the road marked on the map for a whole year before he arrived at a place where they had never set foot before, and there was no trace of local indigenous activities, so Sean put his mind at ease for the time being, and began to lead the men to set up tents and prepare for the night.

When he woke up the next day, he was about to put away the tent and move on, but when he saw clearly the stone that he used to press the corner of the tent yesterday, Sean's movements froze, only to see that this stone refracted an intoxicating golden light under the sunlight, Sean's breathing suddenly thickened, he had also seen gold panning on the tributaries of the Baishui River back then, so he immediately identified this stone, last night I just felt that this stone was extremely heavy, especially suitable for pressing the corner of the tent, I didn't expect it to be a piece of dog's head gold!

He hurriedly picked it up with both hands and turned it upside down, the weight of this piece of dog's head gold is probably not less than twenty catties! Since such a large amount of doghead gold can be found, it means that there must be a gold mine in front of it, and there may be similar doghead gold! The knowledge he heard while drinking with the gold diggers came into play, and Sean decisively changed his exploration plan and scattered the soldiers in search of the gold mines.

The result did not disappoint him, and some soldiers found natural gold nuggets nearby, although it was not as big as his, but it was also a lot of wealth to get the Ming Dynasty, and what made him even happier was that the sand at the bottom of the creek not far away was also shining with a little golden light under the sun, which was obviously sand gold.

Afterwards, Sean brought people here many times to collect the dog's head gold, and drew the location of the dog's head gold and the distribution of the sand gold on the map in detail, and when Chen Xu came again, he took this map and those doghead gold, and returned to Daming and sent it to Li You.

"Good! It seems that this place is indeed rich in gold, so this place is called Jinshan! Li You can see from the map that the port built by Chen Xu should be near San Francisco in the future, where there are indeed gold mines and triggered a gold rush in the United States, so it seems that this opportunity can also be used to attract more Ming people to the American continent? Is there anything more alluring than gold?

"Since this dog's head gold was picked up by General Xiao, then it should belong to General Xiao, and the rest of the gold nuggets will be treated accordingly, whoever picks it up will belong to whomever it is, but if you are willing to sell it, I will buy it at double the price." Sean and the others refused, and hurriedly agreed.

Immediately Li You asked people to take these dog-headed gold to start a tour in Daming, and took this opportunity to greatly promote the wealth of the American continent, and the gold that can be seen everywhere has become the focus of propaganda, Li You used Sean's experience as an example to tell the people of Daming that no matter who it is, as long as he can find gold, then the gold belongs to them.

Many people were dazzled by this golden dog-headed golden shuang, and they signed up to join the expedition team of the North American continent, and for a while, the adventure to the North American continent seemed to have become the hottest topic in the entire Ming Dynasty, not only the common people, but even those who were deep pondered whether it was possible to form a fleet to go to the North American continent to find gold.
