Chapter 616: Golden Mountain Fort

"Whoa, whoa......, whoa," the native priest knelt on the ground, holding a dog's head of gold, and gestured to the two natives behind him who had been injured earlier. Tie Xuan understood this time, and they wanted to use the gold as a thank you for treating these two natives before.

"Hey, these natives are so rich!" Vice Admiral Wang stared at the large piece of gold, and his eyes almost fell. Tie Xuan also looked surprised, although he was not a god seed, this large piece of gold was valuable enough.

No one could have imagined that these seemingly sloppy and destitute natives would carry such a heavy treasure.

"Wow, wow, wow......" Vice Admiral Wang was looking at the gold nugget in a daze, but saw that the two natives from before had come up. They looked at Vice General Wang with a smile on their faces, and they were still wearing the old linen clothes given by Vice General Wang. I saw them gesturing the sackcloth on their bodies with their hands, and kneeling towards Vice General Wang and saluting. Then he put his hand into his bosom, and took out two smaller pieces of gold.

"This ...... This, this! Vice Admiral Wang jumped up in fright, two pieces of torn clothes, they actually want to exchange two pieces of gold for them? Vice General Wang's heart was shocked, and he had never been so shaken when he followed Zhang He to suppress the widows in the past.

"Iron ...... Lord Tie, this, this, I...... Can I accept it? He had always been sharp-toothed, and he became stammering.

Tie Xuan was also shocked, thinking that the priest was grateful for his kindness, so he specially brought the heavy treasure from the tribe to come. Unexpectedly, even two ordinary natives could casually take out two pieces of gold in exchange for sackcloth...... Are these natives all of them all tied up in their pockets?

"Go and fetch the goods that I prepared earlier!" Tie Hyun commanded.

In a few moments, the soldiers brought goods that were ready to be traded with the natives. There are tea, silk, blue and white porcelain, and so on. Seeing these good things, these natives were even more shocked. The priest looked at the ancient patterns on the blue and white porcelain, with awe and worship on his face, and stretched out his hand several times to touch it, but he didn't dare; When I saw the silk, I was even more surprised that I couldn't believe that such a noble and gorgeous cloth would be in the world.

The other natives were also surprised that they had never seen the world, and after the deputy general told them that these could be used for "trading", these natives gathered around and danced like crazy.

"What does that mean?" Tie Hyun looked puzzled.

Vice General Wang felt the surprise of these aborigines' singing and dancing, and felt that the rough style of these aborigines was very infectious. "Lord Tie, they're thanking us!"

"Although these natives are a little ignorant, they are not bad people."

In the end, the natives pieced together a lot of gold. The gold piled up like gravel saved up half a box, or more than a dozen pounds, and only exchanged for a piece of silk, a few blue and white porcelain bowls, and some bits and pieces of ornaments, cups, plates, glass bottles, etc., but those natives seemed to have taken advantage of something.

Tie Xuan was keenly aware of something, these natives actually regarded gold as dung, and the value of gold to them did not seem to be as precious as the shells hanging around their necks and the feathers on their turbans.

"Quick, go find Mao Xiang's commander."

"This place is close to the left, I'm afraid there is a gold ore vein!"

Thinking of the Sado Gold Mountain of the Wa Kingdom, Tie Xuan hurriedly commanded.

Gold, although not as important as the god seed, is also an extremely important material for the Ming Dynasty.

For example, in Yingzhou, in the past, the imperial court proposed that the merchants and people of the Ming Dynasty go to Yingzhou, but there were always few responders. The land is just a wild place where birds don't, and not many people will be willing to leave behind the wealth of China and the tombs of their ancestors to cross the ocean to open up Yingzhou. But when the output of Sado Gold Mountain and Iwami Silver Mountain was placed in front of the merchants and people, the people suddenly changed their minds about Yingzhou: since it is profitable, it is naturally no longer a wild place. If there is gold and silver to be earned, it is hard to work hard, and you can leave your homeland, then it is also very good.

Relying only on the new students to talk about righteousness and the future will not work. It is also necessary to let the people who have pioneered for the country really taste the sweetness. The so-called bustle of the world is all for profit, which is the reason.

Countless people began to spontaneously go to Yingzhou to pan for gold.

Fengmingzhou is more distant than Yingzhou, but as long as there is news of gold veins, it can attract other Ming immigrants to take the initiative to come to Fengmingzhou to pan for gold, so that there is a steady stream of Chinese children who come here and build here, so that this place can really be developed.

More crucially, if you can find out where there are gold mines, then you can slightly correspond them to the mineral output of the Americas marked with the approximate location on the map of the Kunyu World...... Maybe you can reverse where this place is, so as to find out the route back to China!

……

"Iron Boy, find out." Two days later, Mao Xiang hurriedly came to find Tie Xuan with information.

"The gold mine is not elsewhere, but in front of us...... My men were only more than ten miles out of the city, and when they were soaking their feet in the river, they accidentally discovered that there was gold in the river......" He said, showing Tie Xuan and Zhang He the samples of gold sand that his men had found and the gold mines that had been analyzed.

"What kind of wild land is this...... It is clearly the world's first-class treasure land. "Rao is Zhang He is used to seeing the world, and there is a little trembling in his tone at this time." The mountain we are leaning on...... It's a real mountain of gold! ”

An entire mountain is a gold mine! Tie Hyun shook in shock. He soon came to the Kunyu Wanguo Map, squinting his eyes and searching for the mark of whether there was a gold mine in the west of "America". Soon, he found a place that matched, and the mark of the master in this place was even more detailed than that of other regions, and there were two words written on it in small block letters: "Jinshan".

"It turns out that the master has already named this." Tie Hyun said in admiration. "The place where we are is the 'Golden Mountain'. Then this place should be called 'Jinshan Fort'. ”

"Route map!" Zhang He shouted.

After a while, they brought the route map they had drawn by themselves, and Zhang He squatted in front of the Kunyu Wanguo map, combining the two maps together and detailing them. Finally, he concluded: "Yes, this is indeed the golden mountain marked by His Royal Highness King Zhou." I didn't think we landed here...... According to the undercurrent under the sea, you can return to China by passing through Luzon. ”

There is no need to cover their heads to explore the route, and there is joy in the tone of several people.

"There are other discoveries." Mao Xiang continued. As he spoke, he pulled out a patch of mottled bark. "The tribes that hunt down the natives are only a bay away from us."

"Moreover, it is very likely to be the 'Fusang Kingdom' recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", ......"
