Zheng Zhilong also stayed, there were too many of his kind here, and he liked the atmosphere here very much. It only took less than two days for him to get acquainted with Wang Rui, and both of them felt that the other party had a good appetite for themselves.

Liu Yifeng once wondered if Zheng Zhilong interrupted to follow Wang Rui to open up the southern route, but after Li Hongji came over with 15 firearms, he still followed Liu Yifeng back to the camp.

"I thought you were going to follow Wang Rui and them."

Zheng Zhilong smiled: "To be honest, it's very tempting, but I hope that the person who opens up a new route is the fleet I lead, not a member of the fleet." ”

Zheng Zhilong wants to own a boat, and the people in Liu Yifeng's team basically know about it.

Li Hongji said jokingly: "We have been shopping for a month, and it is almost 5,000 taels, and we can almost buy a boat in two months, Lao Zheng, your dream is about to come true." ”

Zheng Zhilong was stunned, rolled his eyes, and complained: "That's not how the account is calculated, we are also lucky this month, and we have been harvesting in those days." And 5000 taels is the harvest of the whole team, not the harvest of me alone. ”

Liu Yifeng's gold panning method was originally used by the Han people, and the ability to extract gold from some water flows close to gold veins is a phenomenon that exists throughout Eurasia, and is not limited to the Americas. From east to west in Eurasia, the Chinese civilization, the Tianzhu civilization, the Persian plateau civilization, the Mesopotamian civilization and the Mediterranean civilization all have relevant written records. Therefore, the whole team accepted that kind of gold panning method very quickly, and it only took two days for everyone to enter the gold panning state.

At the beginning, the harvest was very bad, the first 10 days did not collect an inch of gold, and it was the 13th day, and someone found gold to recover their morale. After that, on the 18th and 25th days, they found a large amount of gold on a calm river beach.

Liu Yifeng inspected the surroundings, and also stood on a high place to observe the terrain, and understood that there would be so much gold on this river beach, just because of the terrain when the river water flowed here, most of the heavy sand and gravel would be left in the river beach, and the gold density was large, so naturally most of it remained.

Until they left, the river beach was still withdrawing gold from time to time, but Liu Yifeng judged that the gold there had basically been more than 70% of the gold they had fished.

Li Hongji, who stayed behind, agreed with this point of view, because during the time Liu Yifeng and they left, after the last gold in the river beach, they were never found again, and everyone thought that the gold here had been mined out.

It just so happened that Feng Shuo came back with supplies and people, and Li Hongji asked everyone to take their weapons, and first gave the people a dismount to let them be honest. Then let Feng Shuo group the descendants into groups to manage the new people, and he came to Liu Yifeng with a fire gun.

"Big Chief, the people are all living in the wilderness at present, should we build a camp first or move first?"

"Transfer, that river beach is not suitable for the survival of more than 100 people." Liu Yifeng has actually been looking for the lake where the lumber yard was built in later documentaries, and he thinks that it can become the starting point of the gold rush in the west, and he is sure that there will be more gold in that water. And if you can build a logging yard there, the environment will be more livable.

"My idea is to divide the team into two groups, one group led by you and Feng Shuo, continue downstream from the river beach, and Lao Zheng and I will go upstream to have a look."

From that river beach to Jinshan City, Liu Yifeng spent 5 days on horseback for 6 people. It also took Feng Shuo 5 days to return to the river beach from the port built by the Fleet Chamber of Commerce near the estuary, but these 5 days could not be compared with Liu Yifeng's 5 days. One was 6 people riding lightly, and the other was walking with more than 100 people on mule carts, so Liu Yifeng, Li Hongji, Zheng Zhilong and the other 4 people who transported the fire guns returned to the river beach in only 3 days.

They came back at the right time, and Feng Shuo was almost out of control.

"You hit someone?"

Feng Shuo didn't overdo it, but he didn't admit defeat: "Those people are cheap skins, they can't fight if they don't fight!" ”

"What did they do to make you hit someone?"

"They don't obey discipline and don't listen to orders!"

"Then you just pick a thorn and teach a lesson, is it necessary to beat so many people?"

Among the more than 130 people, nearly half of them have been beaten by Feng Shuo one after another in the past few days, which makes them unhappy. You must know that when Liu Yifeng was electing husbands, he basically did not elect the group of people who just arrived this year, and they were still wild and difficult to discipline. Liu Yifeng is basically a civilian husband who has served for 2 years, and occasionally there are those who have just arrived in this year's service.

First, they have adapted to the identity of Dongshan Prefecture and their own people, and they are easy to discipline. Second, they are full of hope for the future and good management. The most difficult person to discipline is the one who does not recognize the status quo, and the most difficult person to manage is the one who has no hope for the future.

In addition, Liu Yifeng felt that there were too few Han people in his lineage, and more than half of the people he hired this time were Han Chinese. And among the people Feng Shuo beats, almost all of them are Han. The best people to discipline make Feng Shuo have to rely on force to manage, but imagine how bad he is in charge.

Feng Shuo also knew that he had done something wrong, he was dizzy and a little swollen at that time. It was also the first time he had managed so many people, and he was nervous and excited at the same time, both of which were the easiest to make impulsive decisions.

"Forget it, Lao Liu, Lao Feng also wants to manage the team well."

"That's right, big boss, it's right to fight and let them know who to listen to."

Zheng Zhilong and Li Hongji's persuasion Liu Yifeng listened to it, he actually didn't care about Feng Shuo beating people, he was still clear about the distance between relatives and distances, he was angry Feng Shuo's poor performance. If Li Hongji or Zheng Zhilong were to stay behind, there would never be a situation where the people would use fire guns to force the anger of the crowd and then beat so many people.

"I'm angry because Lao Feng is not angry!"

Feng Shuo raised his head, he was still a little aggrieved, he was just a little too radical in his management methods. For the sake of some people, I educated myself, completely ignoring that I was the first person to follow you Liu Yifeng, and I was a little angry.

But after hearing this, I realized that I had misunderstood.

"Head, why am I not angry?"

"Why are you angry? Can you control people's hearts by fighting? Enwei and Shi, when I got you, it wasn't all about fighting! ”

Feng Shuo couldn't refute it, he had to admit that what Liu Yifeng said made sense.

"Lao Li, Lao Zheng, go and inform everyone to add dinner in the evening, and I will make the specific things." Then he looked at Feng Shuo: "You will host in the evening." ”

Li Hongji smiled and nodded to Feng Shuo, Zheng Zhilong patted him on the shoulder, and the two left.

"Head ......"

"Lao Feng, you have been following me for more than half a year, and we have gone from being a citizen with no freedom to being the leader of more than 100 people today. Now that we have indeed dug up gold, our team will only get bigger and bigger in the future, I told you my thoughts today, Lao Tzu will build a city in the future! ”

Feng Shuo was frightened by Liu Yifeng's ambition: "Will the Maritime Safety Bureau agree?" ”

"We don't build a city under their control, we go to the south, which is not yet under the jurisdiction of the Maritime Administration. When our city is large, the Maritime Safety Bureau will take it away from them, and we will still be the largest landlord in the city, and then we will go to the next place to continue building the city. ”

Liu Yifeng showed great confidence, and he believed that the Maritime Safety Bureau would not care, because there was a precedent for this. This is not the case in Dongshan Prefecture, where more than half of the towns and ports in Annam Prefecture were established in this way.

The Annam Prefecture and the Maritime Safety Bureau allowed private merchants and chambers of commerce to establish and reclaim bases. When it reached a certain scale, the Annam Protectorate sent officials to take over, and then let the builders of the towns enjoy a certain degree of optimal treatment, such as becoming landlords.

This is how the wealthy people of the South Seas basically started out in this way, and these new landlords grew grain or cash crops in large quantities, either selling them to the Dutch or Frangi people, or selling them back to their homeland. In just 20 years, he has earned the wealth that can only be accumulated by two generations of ordinary landlords in the Central Plains.

Feng Shuo had also heard of these things, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Lao Feng, in the future, I will not be an official in our city alone. Lao Zheng didn't say it, this kid is rich, he definitely bought a boat and went to sea. He pointed to Feng Shuo and Jin Chengyou, who had been silent, and said, "You, Lao Li, worship them, as well as you Kim Chengyou and your Goryeo compatriots, will be the managers of the city." Now it's just for you to manage more than 100 people, and in the future you may manage tens of thousands of people, how can I rest assured if you don't make progress quickly? ”

Feng Shuo exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the grievances in his heart and the previous expansion completely disappeared.

Especially that expansion, when he was a horse dealer, he brought up to 5 people. He has managed more than a dozen people on the Nanyang level, and now he suddenly manages hundreds of people, which is inevitably inflated. But the prospect given by Liu Yifeng made this swelling as ridiculous as a snot bubble coming out of a little child's nostrils, and it burst when he poked it.

After appeasing Feng Shuo, Liu Yifeng looked at Jin Chengyou, who successfully persuaded Feng Shuo not to beat more people: "Did you hear what I said just now?" ”

"Yes!" Kim Seung-woo's expression was very excited.

"If you hear it, go and help."

"Yes!"
