Beijing Town, with the advent of cold winter, the originally lively and noisy Beijing Town has gradually become colder. A large number of expedition teams have left the North by boat and headed to the warmer Penglai City to spend the winter.
The Northern Territory is just a small town that gradually developed because of the existence of the expedition team. When the expedition teams left in large numbers, the entire Northern Territory naturally became depressed.
Only when the weather gradually warms up after next spring, will the expedition team gradually return to the north and continue to explore this vast land in search of gold and silver.
However, generally by that time, the expedition team that came to the Northern Territory this year will probably not come again, because in the past two years, there have been at least hundreds of expedition teams, large and small, in the area around the Northern Territory. , but so far no one has found anything valuable in the area around the North.
Perhaps the only thing that can attract people to the North is the fertile fields and dense virgin jungles here. The trees here are very tall and very suitable for building ships. However, the shipbuilding industry on the Golden Continent is currently not developed. Those with shipbuilding capabilities are Penglai City and Qianhe City.
It is estimated that no one will come back here to invest in building a shipyard within ten to eight years. Although there are a large number of high-quality trees here, the population on the Golden Continent is sparse, and the demand for ships is naturally not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty. There are two shipyards here. place is enough.
Small businessman Li Lin was bored and calculating this year's income. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, it was time to calculate this year's income.
¡°It¡¯s really hard to do business in the north, and it will be even harder next year. Without gold and silver, the expedition team probably won¡¯t come.¡±
¡°Will you continue to do business here next year?¡±
"It's a good place. The land is fertile and the climate is humid. It's much better than here on the West Coast. If you just open up a field and sprinkle some wheat and corn on it, you'll have endless food. It's like a paradise. It's great for retirement. very good."
Li Lin thought carefully in his mind.
??The Golden Continent is really too big. It is an extremely vast land. At present, the people of Ming Dynasty do not know enough about this land.
Most of the people of the Ming Dynasty lived in the coastal areas of the Golden Continent. Only the expedition team went deep into the complex areas of this land and roughly explored the situation of this vast land.
There are two huge continents in Golden Continent connected by a long and narrow strip of land in the middle. The land of Northern Golden Continent is open and flat. In addition to the tall mountains in the west, there is an endless plain in the middle. It is said that it can be connected all the way to the northernmost part of the continent. polar.
The South Golden Continent is also vast, but except for the vast grasslands and highlands in the far south, most of the other areas are extremely dense tropical rainforests. No one dares to go deep into this primitive tropical rainforest. It is too dangerous inside. .
Generally speaking, Huangjin Continent is a very good place, especially the North Golden Continent. There is a lot of gold and silver, which has stimulated the birth of a large number of expedition teams.
The fertile, flat and open land is extremely suitable for the development of agriculture. Many plantations have been built on the vast land to the north of Penglai Bay (later known as the Gulf of Mexico). The food produced can not only supply the Ming people in the entire Golden Continent, but also And there is a large amount of surplus food that can be supported by the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire.
On the west coast, the dried fish meat from Qianhe City has begun to be sold back to the Ming Dynasty. Every spring, countless red fish (also known as salmon) migrate from the ocean to the land. There are countless fish near Qianhe City. Almost all the unclear rivers and streams are crowded with this migratory red fish.
Therefore, such an industry has gradually formed here in Qianhe City. Every spring, whenever the red fish migrate, the local Ming people will catch a large number of this fish, and then make it into dried pickled fish and preserve it.
The prepared dried pickled fish can be stored for a long time, which not only satisfies the Ming Dynasty people¡¯s demand for meat in Huanghuangzhou, but has also become an important commodity of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s Trade Fair in Huanghuangzhou.
?? Golden Bay Golden City, a city that grew up because of gold.
In addition to gold, this city also has another specialty, which is beef jerky.
Bison can be seen almost everywhere in the Northern Golden Continent, and their numbers are extremely large.
The Ming Dynasty people who came to Golden Continent once tried to tame these bison, but the effect has not been good. When they needed meat, they began to hunt these bison in large numbers.
Because bison are so large, it is often difficult to eat one bison, so beef jerky is made into beef jerky, which gradually forms an industrial chain and becomes a specialty here in Golden City, as well as?. "
Li Lin had a look of disbelief, and then spoke in an even lower voice.
"Old Li, I really didn't lie to you. This time I went out, let alone gold and silver, and I didn't even catch a shadow."
"However, it is not without harvest. We found several ginseng plants."
Chen Feng looked at Li Lin and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This Li Lin is really amazing. Just by looking at him, he knew that everyone had gained something.
"Ginseng?"
"Hurry up, take it out and show it to me. This is a good thing. Older ginseng is worth its weight in gold."
When Li Lin heard this, he immediately rubbed his hands excitedly. He was a businessman, so of course he knew the value of ginseng.
Ginseng is very valuable in the Ming Dynasty, and it is naturally even more valuable in the Golden Continent. There are many rich people here in the Golden Continent, and the demand for precious Chinese medicinal materials is also great, but they all need to be shipped from the Ming Dynasty, so the price is natural not cheap.
"Okay~"
Chen Feng took out a pack of ginseng wrapped in red cloth and two large ginseng plants from his pocket.
Li Lin quickly took it and looked at it carefully, very carefully. He couldn't help but get excited while looking at it.
¡°It¡¯s really ginseng!¡±
¡°There is actually ginseng in this Golden Continent, and judging from the lines of these two ginseng plants, these are century-old ginseng, a good thing that has a price but is not available in the market.¡±
Li Lin sighed while watching, and then said in a very regretful tone: "Oh, you people are so rude. You don't know anything about mining ginseng, and you even damaged its beards. It's really What a pity, what a pity!¡±
"If the roots are well preserved, this century-old ginseng can be sold for thousands of taels of silver!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
