Liu Yifeng: They have been hiding and panning for gold for almost a month, and they are already like savages. He took Feng Shuo, Jin Chengyou, Zheng Zhilong and the two Jurchens to find a river beach, and the six of them took a good bath, put on the clothes that had been washed and decolored, and prepared to go back to Jinshan City to buy supplies.

Their speed was not fast, because the war horses were sick and had no energy, and except for Feng Shuo, the other people were also very bad at riding.

"Head, in addition to what people eat, you must also buy some beans for war horses!"

Feng Shuo loves horses the most, and this month he is even willing to give his rations to these 6 horses to eat. In addition to wild vegetables and meat for hunting and fishing, the most of their rations were hard flour cakes made from flour purchased by Liu Yifeng in Jinshan City.

If it weren't for the daily harvest of gold, their morale would have collapsed just by eating these things that were worse than what they ate on the Nanyang class.

"Well, I will."

Not only will he buy it, Liu Yifeng is also going to build a stable, hire a few people who can ride horses, and he will set up a patrol. Because he wants to expand his manpower, the scope of his gold panning will also expand, and he can't rely on people's feet to patrol at all.

On this trip back to Jinshan City, he has a lot to do.

The first is to buy at least 50 minmen to go back, all of whom are in charge of panning for gold, and his own people will become managers or armed men. are all people who have been with him for more than half a year, and it's time to promote them.

Then there is the purchase of a large amount of supplies, not only food, but also daily necessities and some seeds. The land in California is really fertile, the climate is pleasant, and the sun is abundant, and he is ready to grow some vegetables to relieve the pressure on food.

If the Maritime Safety Bureau really finds the gold mine, then he will have to communicate with the Maritime Safety Bureau in advance about the gold he has found. If the Maritime Safety Bureau has not found Zhang Xianzhong's gold mine, then he is ready to dig for gold for a while.

The mountainous area where he is located is about 300 kilometers away from Jinshan City, and it will take about 1 week to walk on both feet, and it will only take two days to ride a little horseback, and they will walk slowly, and they will arrive at Jinshan City on the 4th day after leaving the mountain.

The first thing you see before you enter the city is the busyness of the ferry.

There is also a Jinshan Bay between Jinshan City and the mainland, although it is possible to go south to the mainland by land, but that is a very long way. It only takes an hour to take a ferry, and it takes half a day to go around Jinshan Bay from the south to the mainland.

Unlike when Liu Yifeng and the others left, this ferry has begun to take shape, originally along Jinshan Bay was a forest formed by a large number of oak trees, but now the oak forest along the coast has been cut down and replaced by a thriving town under construction.

"Oak Town, it was said that Lord Song of the Maritime Safety Bureau asked him to build it."

In the teahouse of the former ferry port and the current Oak Town, Liu Yifeng asked Feng Shuo to inquire about the news of this town, only to know that Jinshan City had undergone earth-shaking changes in the month of his absence.

Because of the influx of a large number of people, although Song Yingxing did not approve the expansion of Jinshan City, he ordered to cut down trees and build towns along the eastern coast of Jinshan Bay, which are all ferries, and in an instant there were countless small ferries on Jinshan Bay, which once made large sea ships not know how to drive.

Although it also caused the tragedy of ship destruction and death, I have to admit that with these ferries and ferries, Jinshan City and the mainland east of Jinshan Bay are much more closely connected, and it is no longer a trouble to enter and exit Jinshan City.

Moreover, those tent households outside the city also have jobs, and finally they no longer have to live in tents, and they are the main residents and builders of several small towns east of Jinshan City.

"In other words, if we want to recruit people, we can recruit them here, and we don't need to go to Jinshan City anymore?"

"Yes." Feng Shuo nodded and said, "Not only that, many trading houses have also set up warehouses in these small towns, and many of the materials we want to buy don't need to go to Jinshan City anymore." ”

Originally, all kinds of business in Jinshan City were done with the inland trading houses and explorers, and every time the business was negotiated, they had to take a detour from the south to the inland, which made the people of the trading houses miserable. Now that towns have been built on the east bank of Jinshan Bay, and there are also supporting ports, the commercial banks directly send materials to the east bank of Jinshan Bay, which is convenient for both buyers and sellers.

The more Liu Yifeng listened, the more he felt that Song Yingxing seemed to have a feeling that he wanted to move Jinshan City to the shore. He was not surprised at all that Song Yingxing came to Jinshan City in person, and there was a problem if he didn't come, but he was very surprised that Song Yingxing revealed and shifted the center of gravity of Jinshan City.

He guessed correctly, after Song Yingxing stayed in Jinshan City for a month, he directly denied the Jinshan City built by his predecessor Hao Ping. He wanted to move the main body of Jinshan City to the east shore of Jinshan Bay, which would later be many satellite towns of the San Francisco Bay Area, such as Oakland and Burwick.

When Hao Ping moved to build Jinshan City in the western part of Jinshan Bay, he valued the scarcity of the plains here, and he wanted to artificially create the fact that there was a shortage of land, so that he could sell the land at a high price. But now that Song Yingxing has known that there is a gold mine, the land finance is not so urgent, and the peninsula where Jinshan City is located can be said to be really inconvenient, he is not ready to expand, and is ready to move the city to the mainland once and for all.

The people of Jinshan City have long been fed up with the small and crowded Jinshan City, and they agree with Song Yingxing's thoughts with both hands and feet. In one month, five small towns appeared along the coast of Jinshan Bay, covering most of the east coast of Jinshan Bay from north to south, and roads were built between them.

Although most of the buildings in the five towns are still under construction, the popularity is already visible to the naked eye. In time, the old Jinshan City on the peninsula will inevitably fall.

Originally, San Francisco would be built on the peninsula because the first Francis colonists built a naval fortress there, and the San Francisco city was indeed the best location for the fortress. Naturally, the fortress gathered a lot of resources, so the construction of the city was mainly based on the fortress on the peninsula and began to expand.

But Da Ming has not encountered any enemies in Dongshan Prefecture at present, let alone enemies from the sea, whether it is Hao Ping or Song Yingxing, there is no intention of building a fortress.

Liu Yifeng sighed that if this continues, there may not be a Ming version of the Golden Gate Bridge in the future, after all, if it continues to develop, the main body of the city is on the east bank of Jinshan Bay, and it will definitely develop inland. The peninsula where San Francisco is located is expected to be slowly abandoned, or the construction of shipyards, naval barracks, and the like.

In short, judging from Song Yingxing's various measures, Jinshan City and San Francisco are two completely different cities.

That's fine, after all, this is Dongshan State, not North America, and there is no need to follow everything in the future.
