"Two brothers, the deal will be tomorrow, we will leave Qishan City the day after tomorrow."

Liu Yifeng noticed the meaning of the friendship between the two, and they all began to call "brother" when they beat snakes and sticks.

The two did not object, they were all businessmen, and they were just acting on the spot. We all recognize your name if you are valuable, you are worthless, even if you tell your father to give up, you still have to give up.

Their focus was on the day after tomorrow when he was leaving.

"I wonder where Brother Feng is going? Are you going back to your homeland? ”

"No, our purpose is Jinshan City."

Master Liu and Second Master Sun looked at each other.

Boss Liu already knew from Shopkeeper Zhang that the Jinshan City Gold Mine was a scam, and Second Master Sun, who was far more informed than him, would only know this earlier, and both of them were a little hesitant to tell Liu Yifeng the truth.

But I feel that the two sides don't look at the hot conversation now, in fact, the friendship is still very shallow, in line with the principle that more things are better than less things, it is almost the same to decide to click.

"Brother Feng is going to dig for gold?"

"Yes."

"But Brother Feng, I've heard a lot of people who went to the trading houses in Jinshan City say that they dug up the area that those explorers said at the beginning, and they didn't find any gold."

"They're not doing it the right way."

Liu Yifeng was very confident when he said this.

The gold mines in California are all shallow gold mines, not to mention the scattered distribution, and the reserves are basically not large, and there is no way to dig gold mines without the means of later generations, and the difficulty of digging gold mines is no different from the lottery.

The real deep gold veins are in the mountains of Nevada, next door to California, but that wasn't to be mined on a large scale before the Industrial Revolution.

But there is gold in California, and tens of thousands of years of geological activity, Nevada's broken gold has slowly spread along the water throughout the Central Valley of California.

More famously, the flashpoint of the gold rush in later history: the discovery of huge rough gold from lumberyards next to the southern tributaries of the American River.

But in reality, the America River is only one of the tributaries of the Sacramento River, and the Sacramento River bed, which is scattered throughout California, theoretically has the presence of gold ore gravel.

That's why when later generations talked about gold panning in the west, the picture that came to mind was that black slaves used gold panning plates to filter river sand along the riverbed.

That's the truth about California gold.

Liu Yifeng's choice was to go to the south of the American River that caused the gold rush in history, and he remembered that place very clearly when he watched the documentary:

Head northeast along San Francisco Bay to the mouth of the Sacramento River, then northeast along the river, the south-northeast one, and the first small mountain you encounter is the site of the famous lumberyard where the gold mines were found.

It's easy to find, and the natural river ensures that he will never get lost.

It was this memory that made him very confident.

Although Liu Yifeng's experience is rich in terms of his peers, and he can be regarded as an old man, he is still too tender in the eyes of the old fox Sun Erye.

If you change to Sun Erye, this self-confidence will not be exposed at all, because there is something behind the self-confidence. There are times when it can be exposed, and there are times when it needs to be hidden.

Boss Liu thought that Liu Yifeng was a young man's unique conceit, and he had also experienced it, so he just smiled and didn't scold Liu Yifeng, after all, the relationship was not so familiar, and the friendship had been exhausted.

But Second Master Sun secretly wrote down Liu Yifeng's sentence "Their way is wrong", and he had the idea of investing in Liu Yifeng, so he asked: "Why are they wrong?" ”

Liu Yifeng suddenly realized that he had said too much, and his eyes rolled and he had a statement: "Two brothers, you think, that group of explorers are missing, which means that the map they gave must be fake, they just want to monopolize that batch of gold mines, and they can't dig through the ground even if they go to the location they gave." ”

Boss Liu resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and wanted to complain: the map they gave was indeed fake, but they were also fake!

Second Master Sun continued to ask: "So, do you have a way to find the traces of the original group of explorers?" ”

"What can I do, even if there is, now the surroundings of Jinshan City are full of people, and the traces have long been destroyed." Liu Yifeng had already thought of his rhetoric, and after he deliberately bought a pass, he said: "Actually, for me, the real gold is not the gold in the ground, but the group of gold diggers. ”

What he wanted to express was that he was going to make supporting services for those people to make money, but Second Master Sun and Boss Liu's faces changed drastically after hearing this, which made Liu Yifeng begin to reflect on whether he was wrong in that sentence.

"Brother Feng, are you going to take refuge in Zhang Bandit?"

"Two brothers, who is this Zhang bandit?"

Boss Liu and Second Master Sun looked at each other and knew that they had guessed wrong, but since this young man he was going to make friends with was going to Jinshan City, he still told him about Zhang Bandit to buy a favor, anyway, when he arrived in Jinshan City, someone would definitely tell him about Zhang Bandit.

"Zhang Bandit is the first batch of bandits in Dongshan Prefecture who appeared at the beginning of this year."

Liu Yifeng and Feng Shuo were both surprised, there are bandits in such a poor countryside as Dongshan Prefecture?

Who are they robbing?

"Could it be that they specialize in robbing gold prospecting firms and explorers?"

"Yes." Boss Liu got the signal that Second Master Sun asked him to speak, and said: "This Zhang bandit is a folk man who arrived last year, I heard that he is very young, he is a bandit in the local area, and he robbed the military salary of the Western Army in Guanzhong and provoked public anger, and the Guanzhong Guanzhong government offered a heavy reward, and was finally caught by Jinyiwei." ”

"If it was in previous years, it would definitely be dragged to the capital after the autumn, but it wasn't that Dongshan Prefecture lacked people these years, so it was sent over and pulled to Jinshan City to open a mine. Hearing that their trading houses had mistreated them, they rioted, killed the men who oversaw them, and occupied the mine. ”

"When the Jinshan City Maritime Safety Bureau sent heavy troops, they fled. Then at the beginning of this year, many trading houses and explorers said that they had been attacked, and after investigation, it was Zhang Bandit's gang who did it. ”

"It is said that when the Jinshan City Maritime Safety Bureau sent troops to exterminate this bandit, they fled to the mountains to the east and were rescued by a tribe of brown-skinned savages, who also married the daughter of a tribal chief. With the help of those brown-skinned savages who were familiar with the location, the Jinshan City Maritime Safety Bureau failed to encircle and suppress him several times. ”

"Now the trading houses and explorers who go to Jinshan City will be informed of the existence of this bandit."

Liu Yifeng was very glad that he left some of the firecrackers.

It was originally reserved for the Indians, but now it seems that there is a bandit surnamed Zhang. Moreover, the Indians are not necessarily dangerous, and this Han bandit may be the real danger.

"What's this bandit called?" Liu Yifeng asked.

This Boss Liu is not very clear, but Second Master Sun knows, he said: "His name is Zhang Xianzhong, and his name is Bingzhong." ”

Liu Yifeng's chopsticks for picking vegetables had an obvious slippage, but he quickly controlled himself, pretending to be a small mistake, and sighed: "It's ironic enough, this person's name is the word 'loyalty', but he does some disloyal and unfilial things, it is estimated that he must be a rebel leader in troubled times, and maybe he will have to slaughter people from a province." ”
