"Is there really a gold mine?!"

Bai Ning was shocked.

He looked down at the flyer.

It turned out to be a large gold mine in the southeast of the Australian continent that was bought by the local wealthy Pan, Lu, Wu and Chen families in Guangzhou.

People are now being recruited to mine.

There is no salary.

But there can be a "commission".

Eighty percent of the gold mines dug up belong to the four families, and two percent belong to themselves.

"Aren't these four bigwigs wronged? Can you still mine like this? ”

Wu Xinzhong also leaned over to look at the flyer, frowned and said.

Du Ruchong stopped a young man who looked like he was going to line up to sign up.

The young man was not tall, dark-skinned, and wore a short shirt that had been popular in the past two years.

"This little brother, in Du Ruchong, Sichuan, dare to ask the name of the little brother?"

The Guangdong brother who was stopped glared: "Oh, it turns out that you are that Du Ruchong!" The traitorous Confucian who made trouble in Zhongdu. ”

"This." Du Ruchong was stunned.

He was wearing a scholar's robe and a square scarf.

At first glance, he is a scholar who reads.

If it is in Sichuan.

Where did ordinary people dare to talk to him like this.

This Cantonese guy is too unruly!

"My name is Lin Afei, do you have anything to do?"

Lin Afei is also a straight person, and he regretted it in his heart after blurting it out.

They were people who dared to petition in front of the emperor, and they were also very famous in Guangdong, and there were many old landlords and rich people who sympathized with them.

If you offend, you can't afford it.

His eyes rolled, and he hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully.

"These people, all of them go to dig for gold?"

"Of course it is, otherwise everyone will line up to buy barbecued pork." Lin Afei wanted to slap his stinky mouth at this time, why didn't he stop.

"Why do these four families pay for the gold mines that they have to dig for the gold mines?"

Du Ruchong asked.

"Otherwise, who will work for them?" Lin Afei said, "You don't know? The location of the gold mine seems to be around a place called Sydney City, which was originally used by the Britons to exile prisoners, and since ten years ago, British outlaws have been coming there one after another to touch the gold, and then my Ming Indian Ocean Fleet sent people to occupy Sydney City, but those Britons fled into the mountains, and the most hateful thing is that they dared to collude with the local natives to target my Daming! ”

Lin Afei said coldly.

These words were not a taste in the ears of those former Qing relics and several Confucian gentlemen.

For the former Qing Dynasty relics, the Ming Dynasty actually used force in Australia and the Britons thousands of miles away, and easily won, how strong should the Ming Dynasty's force be?

For Confucian scholars like Wu Xinzhong and Du Ruchong, the Ming Dynasty was reckless in military force thousands of miles away, but the people under it did not know the harm of reckless military force.

"What does this have to do with the 20% of the gold mines?"

"What does it matter? Of course, it has a relationship, those Britons heard that they are all outlaws in their country, and now they have lost their territory, how can they rest, and often attack the Ming immigrants and mines, so those who go to mine must buy revolvers, learn to ride horses, and gather to fight with the Britons when necessary! ”

I see.

Several of them were a little surprised.

It turned out that the place was too dangerous, and if the miners were to be squeezed like in the interior, then another army would have to be raised.

But the four families are private capital, how dare they raise the army?

Fortunately, according to Ming etiquette, the subjects of the Ming Dynasty have the right to carry guns.

So it's up to the miners to organize and fight.

But since the miners are to fight, this squeeze is naturally not suitable.

You have to give a share of the benefits.

Looking at Lin Afei's dress, if he has a revolver hanging on his waist, then he is dressed like a Ming colony.

This Ming Dynasty is so violent to the outside world, I'm afraid it won't be the same as the Qin Dynasty, and the second will die, right?

But

This Emperor Zhu is fierce, how can he live for another thirty or forty years.

wanted the "First Emperor" of the Ming Dynasty to die violently.

It's not easy.

It seems that the barbarians around the Ming Dynasty are all unlucky

Du Ruchong couldn't help but sigh when he watched Lin Afei happily go to line up, intending to be the vanguard of the invasion of the Australian mainland.

He couldn't help but think of the system of the Qin and Han dynasties recorded in the history books.

The scene of the people rejoicing when they heard the war. It's somewhat similar to what it is now.

Merely.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, military merit was the first priority.

And this Ming Dynasty used the benefits of expansion and development to distribute to the pioneers.

Most of the benefits of the world belong to scholars, but now, it seems that the benefits of opening up overseas should not be neglected.

At this time, Du Ruchong vaguely began to feel some reasons why Emperor Zhu wanted to suppress scholars and expand overseas

"In this Ming Dynasty, there are battlefields in the east, west, north and south, and they are all expanding, how can the treasury be full and the army is strong?"

Shen Songhou frowned and said puzzled.

Several people fell silent.

Later, everyone found a hotel in Guangzhou City and lived there.

After staying for a few days.

Several people have a new understanding of the city of Guangzhou. There are almost no taboos.

They even saw an article in the newspaper ridiculing Prime Minister Luo - if this was placed in the previous dynasty, not to mention the nine clans, how could it be the treatment of the three clans.

"It's not bad to stay in Guangzhou, at least it's farther away from Emperor Zhu's central capital, and the Ming Dynasty has just organized immigration to the Northeast in the Central Plains all these years, and Emperor Zhu is afraid that he won't come to Guangzhou much."

Bai Ning said.

"Master, aren't we going to India?"

A few people went south to Guangzhou to find an opportunity to take a boat to Le Bao.

Bai Ning didn't want to go, but because they were also implicated in the arrest of the Chengdu Gongyuan, the weapons of some of his subordinates were discovered, resulting in some of the remnants of the Eight Banners being arrested.

Bai Ning also had to go to the dark with Shen Song.

"Let's see."

Bai Ning really didn't want to go to India.

However, Shen Song and the others longed for the Viceroyalty of India in the Qing Dynasty, because when they got there, they might have an advantage over the noble Eight Banners.

Right now.

Vicente burst in.

"Second master, hurry! Let's go! We may be exposed! ”

Shen Song and Bai Ning stood up suddenly.

"What's going on?"

"I've met Zhao Wen, and he's now the governor of Guangdong! He's probably recognized me," Vicente said, with a sad face.

"This dog traitor!" Shen Song scolded.

But it soon became clear that there was something wrong with this.

How can this Zhao Wen be a traitor?

He can only be regarded as a traitor.

But he's not a Tartar

He was the prefect of Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, and later surrendered directly, but he didn't expect that his official luck was good over the years, and he became the governor of Guangdong Province.

You must know that Guangdong is quite important in the Ming Dynasty, and being the governor of Guangdong means that Zhao Wen is likely to enter the cabinet of the DPRK.

"Let's go! Go to India. ”

Bai Ning took a deep breath and said.

"What about them in Wu Xinzhong?"

"Regardless of them, we are not all the way with them!"
