The west coast of Golden Continent.
Accompanied by thousands of Ming ships, more than 100,000 people arrived at Golden Continent.
Starting from Qianhekou in the north, all the way south to the vast coastline of the Central Golden Continent (Central America), people from the Ming Dynasty can be seen everywhere.
"These people who have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to come to the Golden Continent have only one purpose here, and that is to find and dig for gold.
"These people are like hungry wolves, spread all over the west coast. They travel over mountains and ridges, working tirelessly to find the charming gold in this vast land.
Golden Bay, later San Francisco.
The huge harbor is filled with large ships. On the shore of the harbor, a colony is being built. On a flagpole, the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty is constantly flying.
In the early morning, Zheng Hong opened the door and wrapped his woolen clothes slightly tightly. There was a hint of coldness in the air.
"Get up~ wake up~"
Zheng Hong looked at the sun in the east and couldn't help shouting to the people in the house.
Zheng Hong is the boss of Zheng's Trading Company in Tianjin. This time he also spent all his wealth to buy a large ship and organized more than a hundred brothers to come to Huangjinzhou to pan for gold.
The journey has been smooth sailing.
The boat he bought was manufactured by Tianjin Shipyard. It was very durable and safe. He also spent a lot of money to hire a captain who graduated from Tianjin Maritime Academy, so he arrived at Huanghuangzhou very smoothly.
It was only after he came to the Golden Continent that he realized that the Golden Continent was very big and vast.
There is indeed a lot of gold. Along the way, we encountered more than ten gold mines, but these gold mines all belong to the Ming Dynasty and were discovered last time by Du Mingen, the Marquis of Taiping.
Those who came later were not allowed to mine these gold mines privately. They could only discover new gold mines by themselves.
According to regulations, 20% of the gold mines discovered by merchants and individuals in Huangjinzhou belong to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, 20% to the Ming Dynasty, 30% to the discoverer, and 30% to the miner.
If the discoverer and the exploiter belong to the same person or firm, they can get 60%.
This ratio is quite high.
There are a lot of gold and silver mines in Huangjinzhou. Some commercial banks have discovered gold and silver mines one after another, which has also greatly stimulated other commercial banks and individuals.
But Zheng Hong¡¯s Zheng¡¯s Trading Company has never discovered gold or silver mines, which makes Zheng Hong very anxious.
In order to organize this fleet to the Golden Continent, he, Zheng Hong, had put all his wealth and life on it. Now he is responsible for the food, drink and toileting of hundreds of people every day. The expenses are very large, but he has not found any gold mines and Silver mine, this is very worrying.
Hearing Zheng Hong¡¯s words, people in the house also started to get up one after another.
The people Zheng Hong brought over were all members of his own clan or fellow villagers from his hometown. They were very reliable and very obedient.
"Everyone, hurry up and make a fire to cook. After dinner, prepare to go find the gold mine. I'll go find out the news."
When Zheng Hong saw the others getting up, he also gave instructions, and he walked towards the center of the Golden Bay Colony.
In the center of the Golden Bay Colony, although it is still very early, a lot of people have gathered. Most of them, like Zheng Hong, are the heads of various trading companies, and they are all here to inquire about news.
For things like gold mines and silver mines, sometimes there are gold mines in a large area around them, so as long as they hear that someone has discovered a new gold mine, everyone will go to explore around the gold mine, and maybe they can Found gold and silver mines and the like.
"Have you heard?"
"Yesterday, Zhang's Trading Company discovered another gold mine. They have already discovered three gold mines."
"true or false?"
"Of course it's true. It can also be false. I just listened to what their guy said."
"Where was it found?"
"I heard it was found here in a river thirty miles west of Golden Bay."
"There is no such place. I went to this place to explore the day before yesterday~"
"That may be because you were unlucky and missed it~"
¡°¡¡.¡±
"Have you heard that Tianjin Ocean Trading Company's gold mine in Huangjin Bay has officially started production? Just yesterday, they mined more than three hundred taels of gold."
¡°?Go to the gold mine~"
Zheng Hong nodded with satisfaction. They were all brought from his own clan and hometown, so he felt reassured when doing things.
As Zheng Hong finished speaking, more than a hundred guys quickly ate, washed up, and packed up. A few guys were left to look after the house in the camp, while the others all set off on the road to find gold.
Zheng Hong also divided the team of more than a hundred people into ten teams to look for gold in different directions. He himself also led a team towards the mountains to the west.
While walking outside, Zheng Hong also encountered many teams. These teams were similar to Zheng Hong's team. They were carrying backpacks, compasses, telescopes, bows and arrows on their backs, knives on their waists, and were fully armed. Travel to various places in pursuit of gold and wealth.
¡°Similarly, we also encountered some relatively large teams along the way. There were dozens of people in these teams. They were carrying various things and had smiles on their faces.
There is no doubt that these are the merchants who have discovered the gold mine and went to the gold mine site to build a camp and prepare to mine the gold mine.
Whenever he sees people from these trading houses, Zheng Hong will look envious and jealous.
There is no way, who let others discover the gold mine first.
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s find the gold mine as soon as possible. Then we can settle down in one place and dig gold mines for a few years. After we return to the Ming Dynasty, I guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.¡±
Zheng Hong urged his men to speed up and move towards gold. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
